H. Blanc’s daughter Marguerite, a
little girt of 18. after harieg aa*
listed her father in hie perform
ance arith the lions, accompanied
him—against hie (wish, it is stated
—into the leopard's cage.,- The
satage brute no sooner saw tbs
chila than be sprang upon her,
thsaw her down, and, srooohingon
her prostrate form, buried hie
dawe in her neck.
The lion trainer rushed upon the
beast to sees his ehild, while the
horror-stricken spectators fled in
erarj direotion. The attsck of the
unhappy father, who was unnerved,
and armed with no heavier weapon
than a whip, made no impreeaion
on the leopard, who «tilt kept tbe
child in bis awful grip. Happily,
atthe moment when matters looked
most crilteelt the lion iamer’a son,
Baptiste, having been apprised of
what was going on, entered tbe
cage. He is a remarkably power
ful young man, add has always
been able to keep tbe animal in
control. Dealing a terrible, Mow
at tbe brute, he forced him to re
linquish bis prey, and the child
was extricated from her perilous
n/vntmn. while her brotuer re
mained behind and administered
a vigorous castigation to tbe now
cowed and trembling leopard. The
little girl, who was removed from
the den in a stats of complete in
sensibility, sustained, strange to
■ay, very little hurt, and her
wounds, tbe doctors say, will not
even leave a soar.—St. James’s

- A Splendid Result*
Atlanta, Ga., seems to have
profited greatly by her cotton ex
position for 1881. The aggregate
capital invested in that city since
than is about $1,500,000, employ
ing no fewer than 2,000 operatives
and paying %nnnal wages approx-
ibatiog $800,000. And these ad
ditions have been varied. A grain
elevator end a cotton compress
have been built; a apinniug com
pany hp* completed and nearly
filled its capacious bqjldiag with
ihabhinery, and is preparing to
double its capacity; the groat fair
building has been purchased by a
Company with capital of $j5O,OO0,
And is half filled with machinery;
OOmpsuios have been formed for
building apparatus to prepare cot
ton for tbs spinner; fertiliser and
Other manufactories have been es
tablished in and near the city, and
A concern has been organized for
the manufacture of oleomargarine.

New Yoax, March 8.—Nothing
about tba delightful, tormenting
paaaion of love bae been more re
marked than ita universality.
Cupid laagbe aemaoh at territorial
and aocinl liueeaa be does at lock-
amitha. He eparea neither king,
prince, poet nor peaianta. Daily
fresh instances of tbia common
place troth are coming to public
notice. If any mortal can bo free
from tbe mingled raptnree, doubts
and pangs of love, it might be
thought that a popular dwarf in a
museum would enjoy that distinc
tion^ He might find in tbe admir
ation of tho crowd a substitute for
tho “grand |>aaaion.” Bat that
this in not always tbe case, let the
following simple romance testify:
A few weeka ago Mr. Robert
Huzza, otherwise Major Little-
who U M jMr. ot .g., 3 ^ b „ di lhe yem , 0 „
fssl u uJgkr 4aiu4 - U-A
pounds, was exhibiting his mauly - : 7 *
form iu Hartford, Conn. Among
the thousands of admiring New
Englanders who came to see him
was one whom his quick eye
singled out 2s ,tbe woman des
tined to share bis sorrows, joys and
fame. Their eyes met; from an
inexplicable cause, the lady
blushed and looked down. Ao in
troduction followed, aud then a
Sunday evening call. Suddenly,
in the midst of a sedate conversa
tion, the three foot Major fell at
bis fair companion’s feet. He did
not fall far, as the lady herself is
but 3 feet 2 inches high. He
seized E’er hand, and slowly at
first, but more fluently as he pro
ceeded, be told her that he loved
her as devotedly as any six-footer
could." ' Then, to me irw v»ww—ex
pressive ph^aee, he “popped.” He
did not pop IU vain, as witness the
sequel, which took place yesterday
afternoon at Bunnell's Brooklyn
Museum, to which both the Major
and Miss Ida H. Hosmer (that
was the lady’s name) were at
tached. The Major is there still,
but Miss Hosmer is gone; her
place is taken by Mrs. Littletinger.
Au air of mystery, pervaded the
Museum during the earlier portion
of tbe day. Count Rosebud anil
Barou Littletinger sighed when
ever they looked in the direction
of the Major aud Miss Hosmer.
The tattooed man surveyed his
highly decorated form and won
dered when his turn would come,
and the usually reserved fat girl
hummed softly: “O Tttke Mu to
Thy Heart Again.” With their
accustomed ease and steadiness
tbe company went through the af
ternoon performances. Mr. Bun
nell's face was wreathed iu smiles;
but Manager Start was grave and
silent. When the last curiosity
left the stage the orchestra played
the opening strains of Mendel
sohn’s “ Midsummer Night’s
Dream” overture. Major Little-
finger and Miss Hosmer walked
slowly to .the front of the stage.
Tho Major was attired iu black
with a sack coat. He wore a w hite
tie aud immaculate kids. The
lady was clad iu a robe of white
nun's veiling trimmed with thread
lace. A white tulle veil fell over
her brown curls almost to her feet.
She wore a wreath of orange blos
soms. There was a sensation in
the audience, followed by profound
silence, as the fairy forms of Giant
O’Brien and tbe Fat Woman ad
vanced and took the stations of
bridesmaid aod best man. Rev.
Hugh Pentecost came from the
wings, prayer book in hand. The
notee of “Midsummer Night's
Dream” died softly away, aud iu a
reverent, solemn tone the clergy
man began tbe marriage service.
“Robert, wilt thou have this wo
man to be thy wadded wife, to
love, cherish aod keep her iu sick
ness and iu health, in poverty and
in riches, and leaving all others,
cleave only unto her until death
doth you part?”
Iu a clear, positive voice the
diminutive groom answered: “I
will.” The same question, mu/alis
mutandis, was put to the blushing
bride. She responded softly: “I
will.” It was a touching scene.
The substantial form of tbe brides
maid was shaken with sobs. The
green decoration upot^ Giant
O’Brien’s breast rose and fell like
a Weehawken ferry boat in a heavy
sea. Baron Littlefioger and Count
Rosebud wept on each other’s
necks. In a moment the ceremony
was ended aud a sound like the
report of a navy revolver echoed
through the theatre that made tbe
window sashes rattle aud the ga*
jeta dance. Major Littletinger bad
kissed his wife for (the reporter
was informed) the first time. Then
tbe company came forward, one
by one, to offer their congratu-
iatfoB a . _
After walking over the happy
pair two or three limes, tbe brides
maid kissed tba bride, and shook
the groom’s bend ao heartily aa to
lift him off bis feat.
“May your shadow never grow
leas,” said Giaat O’Brien.
“It oaa't grow mnoh leas,” re
plied the tiny Benedick.
Mias Kingaland, the lady lecturer,
gracefully wished tba couple modi
Joy.
“Many happy returns—I mean a
thousand felicitations," said tba

Paradoxical as the.assertion seems
to the ordinary mind, uninformed
as to the latest revelations of the mi
croscope, there is no such thing as
death in the sense of the extinction
of life. Quantitatively, not* far
from 5 per centum of the human
body consists of matter, that actual
ly lives: for according to Prof.
Beale, though such tiwnes avoottcle,
muscular fibre, the finger auiis, the
hair, the bones, tendons, etc., con
tain minute living particles, they
are not living matter in the proper
acceptance of the term, bat matter
that has once passed through the
condition of life and is on its way to
resolution into such products as
ammonia, carbonic acid, urea, aud
so on; so that the question whether
the contraction of muscle is really a
vital action is one that cannot be
decided ex cathedra. In 'point of
fact, therefore, independent of the
■standard analysis of the body into
waterjtnd other constituents, as laid
down in the older text books, it is
susceptible of a quantitative analy
sis Of far deeper significance.
At different ages there is some
variation in the comparative quan
tities of living and non-living mat
ter in the human body7Tfte~f<TnHer
being relatively larger in infancy
and youth than in manhood, and
constantly a * g E e ad
vances; but on the average, fiilly
95 per centum of a living man is
already dead; and the process of
death—that is, of the transforma
tion of protoplasm into formed ma
terial or tissue-—is one that forms
the primary basis of human life; so
that the very process of living is iu-
terlinked to and interwoven and
correlated with the process of death.
Every thought, every act of idea
tion^ every contraction ot muscle,
every impression of the senses, has
its material equivalent in the death
of a given quantity of matter that
previously lived. <
The living matter of the body is
composed of units of protoplasm
styled cells—minute, originally
spherical elements, each of which,
independently considered, is a mi
croscopic being, 'possessing an indi
vidual life history of his own. From
40 to 60 days represent probably
the average lifetime of -a cell; ,aod
so, in the progress of a-human life
from infancy to age many genera
tions of cell-life are embraced; that
is to say, a man dies many times
before he comes vis a vis with
final mysterVT It is by groups of
these little bodies, acting io concert
and concurring together to prbduce
a single result, that the com
plex ' tissues of organic life are
created and maintained,. each of
these myriads of independent lives
being a microscopic laboratory for
the evolution of the formed materi
als of muscle, bone, brain, nerve
and membrane, by means of which
our higher functions are executed.
Now and then a cell, dr group of
of cells, rebels against its long life
slavery to tbe higher purpose; and
then comes a morbid development,
such as cancer or tubercle. .
It is now a settled fact of physiol
ogy that when a man dies—that is,
when the functional life is arrested—
these little bodies resums their ac
tion as independent centers of living
matter; so ^hat, quantitatively
speaking, there is no less life in the
body as it lies in its coffin habited
for the grave than there was when
the eye still Softened with tender
ness, the busy brain .laid plans for
the future, or the active band guided*
the pen or the pencil; the collective
amount of microscopic life in the
form of minute organisms that will
be generated by the dead (>ody in
the progress of decomposition is an
exact equivalent for the amount of
living matter that it originally con
tained. In other words, death, in
fiha sense of extinction of life, is a
fiction of our human senses, not a
reality. The myriads of cells and
cell groups 'have ceased to concur
composed of two lives toterwoveo*
together, but fundamentally distinct,
in evidence of hie hypothesis.
There is thus in the deepest facts
of science indubitable evidence bf
the existence of a higher spiritual
and psychical being interwoven
with our physical Uvea; and, if this
sath is
j i be so, death is but a translation
- into a higher and more beautiful
form of life. But it must not be
forgotten that 4be same argument
that applies to man appliea to the
ant or fly that buzzes its little day
and perishes. Why not? What ia
a man * more than a fly, except in
the matter of avoirdupois?

Most of them relate to cards and
weddings, and I may be instructive
generally by answering several of
them. If a bride has sent yon wed
ding cards you ‘should call upon
her in her new relation. If she
sent you no cards, you may call,
and leave ber to decide whether abe
cares to keep up the social inter
change of visits by returning yours.
If you do not wish to cootmue the
acquaintance, that to, to keep up
formal visiting) you can drop it at
this tube as appropriately as at 4ny..
It to perfectly proper for a young
woman assuming new social obliga
tions as a wife to revise her own vis

retain only those names to which

But, if death ia iu reality a fic

no less living than before, what
mysterious entity or energy was it
that, now departed, ooee controlled

A human life ?

“You will readily understand,” the
says, “how I most shrink from any
such feeling.” The law, she knows,
most take its course, but “I pray,”
she continues, “that neither the un
speakable greatness of my sorrow,
nor the terrible wickedness of those
men mav ever blind either myself
or any ot the English people to the
duty of patience, justice and sym
pathy in oar'thoughts, words and

people at large.”
Provisions were very high in 1882,
to be sure. Pork and bacon took a
rise; corn, oats and hay were very
dear; worst of all, cotton has been
selling very low. Freights did not
fall in proportion. It cost ns much
as ever to bring a hundred weight
of clear sides or green shoulders
from St. Louis; it cost as much as
ever to pick, tie up and ship a bale
of cotton to New Orleans or Nor
folk. The factorage, dray age, stor
age and commission bills do
appear to have shriveled any; the
interest on the borrowed money
holds its own ; but the pziae of cot
ton has dropped from twelve to ten
cefltk and, always excepting the
noble thrill of victory, our cotton
raiser would perhaps like to know<
just where he comes in. It has been
a great yeaf for the foreign buyers.
They have been getting the finest of
clean cottons at the very least of
prices. They and the bears—who
speculate and grow rich upon the
bad luck and bad judgment of tbe
planters—have accumulated enor
mous profits. But our solitary whit-
tier on the top rail, where, oh ! where

Once upou a time a great com
mander was told by bis generals
that they bstf-tfuinr splendid vic
tory, and he, after footing up the
results very carefully, replied: “One
more such victory and we are lost.”
Is it not very much the case with
the cotton grower? He has made
a vast, an amazing crop. ■ He has
strained the credulity and upset the
calculations of mankind. But what
has he gained by tbe transaction ?
Has he settled with his merchant;
has he stocked his granary and his
larder, has he achieved financial in
dependence? He sits there gazing
at a desolate field with gates un
hinged, at tumble-down stables and
empty cribs, at hia comfortless dwell
ing Sind haggard work stock. What
to his share in this famous victory?
He can go to the grocery on Sun
day and boast with the neighbors of
the unprecedented number of bales
be has shipped, but when he gets
home aod takes out hto accounts of
sales returned from the metropolis,
do tbe figures show that he has paid
hto debts?

to soon to be introduced into Parlia

been introduced, but have always
been defeated. Earl Dalhotisie,
who intends introducing the bill,
has written to the Commissioner of
the District of Columbia asking if
any ill effects were noticeable iu this
country from the freedom with which
a man may marry his sister-in-law.
Tbe Post says the Commissioner will
assure the Earl that no ill effects are

justice. Ao unmarried woman who
has no older sister unmarried has
“Miss” on her cards, without her
initials or ber first name. On re
turning to your home after long ab
sence send your cards to thoae whom
you wish to have call upon you. If
you intend to remain in tha town
where you are, send out cards to
every one whom you wtob to know,-
mentioning the day and hour at
which you will beat home to receive
them, and offer some fight refresh
ments, like tea and cake, at 5
o’clock. It to correct for a widow
to have her Christian name on her
visiting cardaT A card with “ac
ceptance” written or engraved upon
it ia vulgar. Write a punctilious
note iu the third person, accepting
or declining. If a card to turned
down in the corner it means that
the visitor called in person. The
roan who to a stranger to tha wo
man should leave a oard, for her as
well as the man who had taken him
to call. It to a visit whether she to
at home or not. Both should leave
cards. A girl about to be married
does not put P. P. C. on her cards.
Write your.regret or acceptance of
an invitation on a sheet of note pa
rceled to the person who invites
you. Unless you are to send it by
post one envelope to enough, Do
not write regret or acceptance on
your visitiug card; that is vulgar.
It to proper to send a card to the
bride if you do not call in person,
but it is better to call, and especial
ly jnuat you call on ber mother,
who invites you. The best form for
acceptance to the simplest: “Miss
Smith has much pleasure in accept
ing the polite invitatiod of Mrs.
Brown for Thnrsda^i the 15th.”

color that must be uniform, what
ever color to chosen. The bride and
groom must wear gloves, but the
groom must not wear a dress suit in
tbe „day time,"ho matter how the
bride to dressed. It to not custom
ary to send acceptances of invita
tions to weddings unless the card
contains the request to respond.
When from two to five hundred or
more cards are sent out, the formal
