THE LATE DR. HAXE. A outbh Carolinian Who Ltved on His M6 ifr4 Earnings as Long as He Could. [From the Philadelphia Times] Years ago Julia Dean, a very pretty and engaging actress, was agreat tavorite in all American cities and had a host of ad mirers in her train. llnving mind and char acter likewise, all who knew her esteemed and homured her. In an evil hour she lis tened to the impassioned suit of Dr. Hayne, son of Robert Y. Ilayne, of South Carolina; was flattered by his p*reference. She was somewhat ambitious socially and accepted him, having no idea that a gentle mai of his antecedents and exalted profes sion would think for a moment of allow in- her to remain on the stage. Dr. I layne was, it is Said. always talking of the su periority of his native State, of his father, the eloquent Senator, of his illustrious an cestors and imaginarv illusirious self. No one who had heard his vaporhis woulud have believed hint other than the enibodi ment of the most sensi:ive honor and nest majestic chivalry. When he pressed her to hasten the wedding day she gave as a reason for deferring it that she had certain theatrical enga-gemients to till. and that she was anxious to complete these before changing hernane. Uut be wass peraistent that she vielded at last. and was delighted that his love was stronger than his much vaunted pride. She regarded it as an ex traordinary concession that he should be willing- to permit his wife, known to be such before the world, to act even for a few months. When her engagements had expired he showed, to her surprise, no ob jectioi to her entering into new ones. I1er surprise deepened into paiuful amazement and mortification when she saw, as time went on, that he made no opposition to her supporting him. He had no income of his own; he did not try to practice his profes sion; he merely traveled with her and shared her earnings, or rather took by far the larger half. She loved the man. She would have been only too happy to work for him night and day had i! Ueen ill or disabled. But to see him, robubt, in com parative youth, lounging around hotels, smoking, drinking, playing billiards, and talking about being a gentleman, wholly at her expense and without the least regret, tortured her pride and rendered her wretched, as- it would have rendered any womanly woman. No amount of love could endtire such an experience. It turned to contempt and he was aware of it. But he did not care so long as his bills were paid. She kept her own secret locked in her heart, for she respected herself and out wardly respected him. But the time came when she could no longer bear it. She left him, obtained a divorce and he became the late Dr. Havne. How he managed after ward nobody knows or cares. - . Tobacco In France. Some interesting particulars are pub lished by M. Paul Leroy-Beaulieu in the Econonist Francais with regard to the mannfactureand consumption of tobacco in Fiince. He quotes official figures, which show that while the quantity of tobacco grown in France itself was about 19,200 tons in 1850, it has been gradually increasing until it is now nearly double that quantity, while the revenue which the State.-derives from it has increased from 43,550,000 to nearly ?13,000,000. In other words, while the quantity of tobacco grown has only doubled, the profts of the State, or, in other words, of the manufacturers, have nearly quad rapled. The great increase in proflt is explained: by M. Paul Leroy-Beaulieu uponiie ground that the expense of mantactufringan additional quantity of tobacco is no&anything like that of the first estshlwhment'of plant and material. The cultivation-and manufacture of to baecolis bden a-government monopoly since1674, anad, with the exception of a brief inted during the Revolution, has remained so ever since. In this connec tion, M.V Paul Leroy-Beaulien gives the following figures, showing the quantity of tobscco consumed im the different countries of Europe, and the rate per 100 inhabitants is, according to him, as follows: Spain, 110 pounds; Italy, 128 pounds; . Great Britain, 138 pounds; Russia, 182 pounds; Hungary, 207 pounds; Denmark, 224 pounds; Norway, 229 pournds; Austri, 273 pounds; Ger many, 33& pounds; Holland, 448 pounds; and Belgium, 560 pounds. In other words, while in Spain little more than one pound per head is consumed, nearly double that quantity is consumed in France, three times as mnuch in Germany, four times as much in Holland, and five times as much in Belgium. Prost in Midsummner. It seems to 1-e quite settled that 1886 shall be marked all throughout by ex ceptional outbursts of cold temperature. It beanwth a remarkable and pro lon~ fall of the thermometer which affected every part of the British Islands. It has continued month after month be low the mean for the season, and already there have appeared premonitory symp toms of the coming winter in the form of a severe frost in the north of Scot land. This frost is not only rare, it is absolutely without a parallel in the month of July. There does not appear to be a single instance of the thermome ter being noted below the freezing point in any part of Scotland in July previous to this year. In the carefully kept reg isters of temperature at Culloden, which extend over the greater part of this cen tury, the lowest point touched by the thermometer in July was 39 degrees, on the 15th of July, 1875. But, in 1886, at the sea level at Wick, on the 29th of July the thermometer touched 30 de grees, and inland throughout the county of Caithness even lower readings are re ported. This fall of the thermometer in the North of Scotland is evidently con nected with a general and most remarka ble cold wave, which includes within its sweep every part of the British slanlds. In London the thermometer only touched the average maximum temperature for Juily on three days between July 10 and 30, the three days being the 19th, 21st and 22d, and on the 28th the maxi mum recorded was only 61 degrees, the lowest maimum for any day in July in the course of several years.-Pall Mall Gazette. The Railways of the W.orld. The lines of railways in the five divisions of the earth cost, in round numbers, $16, - 000,000,000; and would, according to Baron Kolb, reach eighit timecs round the globe, although it is hut little over have a century since the first railwvay worked by steam was opened b)etwe-en Darington and Stockton, Sept. 27, 1825. and between Manchester and Liverpool. Sept. 15, 1830. It is shown that in France, previous to the existence of railwvays. there wa u one pas senger in every 33.5,000 killed. andI one ot of-every 30.0010 wounded: whereas hetc ween 1835 and1 185 there was but. one in 5.178. 800 killed. and one in 580.450i wounaded: that we may infer that the tendency to ae cidents is yearly diminishinig. Riway traveling ini England is attended with greater risk than any other counftry in: Europe. A French statiustician observes that if a p-erson were to live continually in a railway carrage, andl spend aill his timie in railway trav-eling, the chances of his dying from a railway accident w ould not occur till he was 960) years old1.

A Boston boy calls himself Compass, bt aure he is boxed so often. Fastidious men have every day canes and an extra one for Sunday.

"Whlat is wanted in this country," said hebie has sc he examined the weddingr presents, "is not civil service reform, but silver service reform. This set is plated." "There are, of course," says a Chicago paper, "two sides to the dressed-heef question." It may be added, says the Ad rerliser. that there are also two quarters to each side of dressed beef. She had false teeth and false hair. but she was peachy checked, bright eyed and prettily formed. and had an angelic temper: so he said: "With all thy false I love thee still." "These are hard times," said a voung collector of bills. "Every place I went to day I was requested to call again but one, and that was when I dropped in to see my girl." "Pomade, sir?" politely said a barber to a cranky customer. "No," he growled: "I don't want any olemargarine on my head." "All right, sir; I never like to put butter on cabbage heads." While the female sex is clamoring for rights they never seem to take into consid eration the fact that all the best poetry descriptive of the charm and innocence of infancy is written on girl babies. "The upper class lives the longest," says a writer on longevity. We have no doubt of this. The private soldiers are all dead. and only the captains, majors and colonels remain. It may be a good thing for defaulters to commit suicide and so rid the world of their presence, but it would be betner still if they would perform the happy dispatch before the embezzling begins. In ye olden time a liar was legally pun ished by having a hole bored through his tongue. If this were the custom now there are men whose tongues would resemble porous plasters. Among the very inappropriate things used as charms for watch-chains are wheels with jeweled hubs and spokes, and little gold safes. A safe! What next? A refrig erator or a coal bin. Philadelphia seems to be a paradise for bogus noblemen. No citizen of that good town can resist them when they go into minute particulars about their grand fathers. Lightning struck a piano in a house in York county, Me., and thoroughly demol ished it. This will strengthen the theory recently advanced by a scientist, that light ning is possessed of intelligence. Walking-sticks Etill continue to increase in size, and unless the limit is soon reached the average young man may be mistaken for a base ball player who has just pur chased a new bat. It fills the heart with gladness to know that when one goes to a dime museum to see the living skeleton one is not to be de ceived by any kind of make-up. The liv ing skeleton never pads. While Maine fights Canada and Texas wars with Mexico, we sincerely hope the Dakota office-seekers will not take advan tage of the crippled American people and secede from the Union. The fact cannot b- ignored, whether we will or no, that the labor question overtops all others at present in the importance of its problems and the difficulties which arise in attempting to solve them. Strange are the bequests, which people sometimes make to perpetuate their own vanity. A man lately bequeathed $500 to a church in New Jersey, on condition that its hell should be tolled on every anniver sary of his death. Radiant memories and rare old jokes are fine old sauces for supper, but they too will "cause a commotion among the chestnut bells." The rare old jokes must be wrapped up and laid on the shelf, if it takes "the last four leaves in the family Bible." It is hard to tell which side to take. The anti-prohibitionist when he goes a fishi ing takes a flask of whisky with him and comes home the worse for using it. Thle prohibitionist takes a quart of ice cream and (discovers after he has eaten it that it is poisoned and he has a narrow escape. A Columbia cat is credited with remark able intelligence. She saw a rat about to go through a small knothole in a tight board fence, and, knowing that she could not reach the rat before lie reached the hole, she went over the fence like a shot and captured him at the other side. A Columbia school girl lately puzzled her teacher with the inquiry, "If the eldest child of an English ruler succeeds to thme throne, what would happen if the eldest child was twins?" The girl was very much surprised at the teacher's inability to answer off-hand, and tried find out from hiei mother; but the question still agitates the town. Children rejoice in noise. They appear to take a pleasure, both in noise itself, and in the act of making it, that is perfectly unintelligible to grown-tip people. "'Why do fathers and mothers always keep saying 'hush?" a bright, healthy boy asked, the other day; and he was evidently much puz zled that we should fail to appreciate what was to him a source of unlimited satisfac tion. flairoad Accident. About 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon a construction train on the Asheville and Spartanburg railroad got away near the top of the mountain grade between Saluda and Tryon. With vacuum brakes on the train rushed down the mountain at a fright ful rate of speed. Whirling around the sharp curves, the convi-ts on the flat cars were scattered in every direction. A white overseer and five negro convicts were instantly killed. One of the guards and thirteen convicts were seriously injured. The train stopped at the foot of the grade, having run five miles, neither engine or ars leaving the track.
