Both had been silent for some time. The elder woman spoke first. "Oh, 'ne, what shall we do now?" she said Nhas 'tad enoughr w 11 m bu IOOd . at shall we do, child?" "I do not know," said the girl. "I have !been to all the people 1,lom-)y.reue, to help us. They have helped us so much that we cannot wonder at it, I fear. I have -asked for work. There seems to be none for me.

'Bt, at +last, two girls, saleswoie 'baby, go0i6h home from their places of emplorin nt,' Jingered for an instant on the pavnent. "You ought to dressyour hair in braids," ssaid one.

"My mother is very ill-we need food and medicine," said Rosino. "I only grieve that I cannot have more money for it. I think it is worth more." "I would give a hundred francs for it," 'nid the gentleian. "Will you sell it to me?" "Is Monsieur in the hair-dressing line?" asked the proprietor.

In the paint shop of the Miehigan State Prison, is a man called Jim, doing alifesen tence. Up to last spring he was regar.i"d as a desperate, dangerous man, ready for rebellion at any hour. Ile planned a general outbreak and was "given away" by one of the conspirators. lie plotted a general mutiny or rebellion, and was again betrayed. le then kept his own counsel, and while never refusing to obey orders, he obeyed them like a man who only needed backing to make him refuse. One day in Juno a party of strangers came to visit the institu tion. One was an old gentleinan, the others ladies, and two of the ladies had small children. The guide took one of the child ren on his arm, and the other walked until the party began climbing stairs. Jim was. working near by, sulky and morose as ever, when the guide scid: "Jim, won't you help this little girl up stairs?" The convict hesitated, a scowl on his face, and the little girl hold out her hands to him and said: . "If you will I guess I'll kiss you!" His scowl banished ii an instar;t, and he lifted the child as tenderly as A father. Half way up the stairs she kissed him. At the head of the stairs she said: "Norv you've got to kiss me, tool" He blushed like a woman, looked into her innocent face and then kissed her cheek, and before he reached the foot of tile stairs again lie had tears in- his eyes. Ever since that day lie has been a changed man, and no one In the place gives less trouble. Myic in his faraway Western home he has a little Katie of his own. No one knows, or he never reveals his inner life, .but the change " o quickly- wrought by a child proves that lie has a heart and gives hope tbit he may forsalke liis evil ways. RLreet Life in Venice. Venice's great impression is its street life so brilliant, so highly-colored, so unlike tifat of any other city. The commonplace shows of the guide-books'are flat and disap pointing; the prisons, dungeons, B. dge of Sighs, ; etc. - The school-girls : glamour thrown pvei- these places is mainly traceable to Byron's sentimental wash of verse. The unbalanced poet's judgement on the historic events of Venice is about as weak and vicious as his judgement on others matters, and his ignoranice,of fact is appalling. The daily pictgre of all Venice, however, is something of, which one never tires, and which changes with every houtr; Gondola a life As some thing deliciously dreamy and luxurious in the soft liglit of clay or under the sheen of moon and- starlight. Lot dark night come and rain,' however, and these long, narrow, deep, black boats, seen mysteriously from the fair point of light On their brow, take in themselves the likeness of floating collins steered by the shades. The effect is indescribably sepulchral. You seem to be alone in the waters of Hades among the spirits. The gondolas are all of a funeral black.-painted black, carved in black, ilth black draperies over the dark cabin. 2any centuries ago a Venetian law'ordored this pattern and color, for what reason I do not know. The laws in Venice do not change, ar.d the gondolas are all black and ghostly to this.day.- The streete are very narrow and blaze with light. Their nar rowness-sometimes not over three feet makes a very little light to serve to brilliant ly Illuminate them, and the jets in the shop windows, kept open until late at night, keep them bright and blazing almost with out the outdoor lamps. Through them the people surge in constant streams-all nat ions, all classes, all colors. You study the world, but even the Venotians themselves present some strong contrasts, for they in time are madle up of thie blood of many people. One striking contrast, which you' soon note, is that the Venetian men as a body are dark, their women blonde. The sounds, too, are polyglotta, and everything is international.

The place of lraddock's sepulchre was within a few yards of a small streatn, the banks of which abruptly sloped down to the water, und distant about two niies-west wardly-from Fort Necessity. The grave was made immediately in the road, about a ston's throw from the present National roud. When the march was resned the horses, wagons and troopA passed over the grave, the purpose being to prevent its dis covery and desecration t by the enemy. About 1824, a party of workmen engaged in repairing the old road in upon the re malis of a human skeleto which was sup posed to be that of Brad ook. Nmnerotus insignia of rank were fo ad with it, and there was no knowledge o the burial of any other oflicer in that vitil ty. 'T'hose who were present on the occas on carried away with them as souvenirs ithe buttons and other metal articles whidh had niot been destroyed by corrosion. Some of the party oven went so far in the gratification of their passion for relies as to make way wit', sev eral of the small bones of the hands. Mr. James Matthews, a. blacksmith who lived at Mount Washington, as Fort Necessity has since uua called, was present on the occasion referred to and witnessed the dis. internmvent of these remains. They were carried to a point about .one hundred and fifty yards eastward and buried in a tield at the foot of a large oak tree sonme twenty live yards from the National Road. In order to mark the spot more clearly to strangers lHon. Andrew Stewart had prepared a board on which was inscribed the fact that this was the last resting place of Major-General Edward Braddock, and this hoard was nailed to the tree. For twenty-live years the National Road was the great highway between the East and the West, and thous ands of persons passed over it. The writer can well remember how, when a boy, each morning and evening, long trains of stage coaches arrived at and left Cuniberland over this gi eit highway. Braddock's grave was one of the great points of attraction on the road, and every (lay the stages were stoppect in order that the passengers might disem bark for a few minutes to inspect the place. The old oak tree ten years since fel a victim to the imperious hand of time, and during the prevalence of a storm was blown down, the trunk breaking .off some feet from the ground, leaving only a stripped and shiverded trunk to mark the sacred spot. The stump has now entirely disappeared and no mark of the old tree remalus. In 1871 a party of gentlemen from England visited the place and be(ore leaving i1 they ltlosed it with a fence of boards, securely built, and thus it remams to-day. A foot note in Do Hass' "History of the Indian Wars of West Virginia" states that "many years since the remuains of General Brad dock were removed to England and now rests wit it the quiet sleepers of Wcstninister Abbey." .,Whence this information *aA derived lias not transpired. However It is certainly erroncQus. Those remains itn dioubtly still lie in the place altoye described, and no inhabitant of that locality has ever heard of their remova) to England. Those bones whien were carried away as souvenirs by deaccr- ting curiosity seekers were after ward gathored together by .Mr. Stewart and are supposcd to have been deposit in Peale's Museum, Philadelphia. It was Washing ton's Intention when he. buried Braddock to return at soeic future day and erect a monument to his memory, but his time was so occupied by the events of the years followitig that, it was not until after the close of the Revolutionary War that lie was able to undertake the self-imposed task. In 1784- he visited the place for the put.pose indicated, and "nade a diligent search for the grave, but the road had been so. much turned and the: cleared land so extended that it could nct be found." The British Government is not wont to neglect her sold iers, but she never took the slightest notice. of thme resting place of Braddock, and it was left for a stranger's hand to mark the spot where he lay more than half' acentury after le fells , Thd Statch ia Tinge.

Recently two Italian ranehmen from Truckee Meadows met on North C. street, Virginia City. As it happened, both were very deaf. They began an animated con versation in the Italian language-probtbly only about the rusinonsly low price of hay and the beggarly pittance oliered for pota.. toes-but their voices resounded throughout the Llock and there seeied to be (Iaers and pistols in every word. Pedestrians watched and lingered by the way, expect ing every moment to see a knock-down, windows went up in all directions and heads were thrust forth and necks craned, dt ivers of express wagons pulled up ;hcir teams, and with great appetite waited for the light. The two men ahouted until their eyes popped out and thcy grow purple in the face. They gesticulated fiercely, and each seemed thirsting for the heart's blood of the other. A crowd begtn to collect, and finally the alarm reached the station-house -not far away-and an oflicer rushed forth with war in his eye. Ile grabbed the col. lara of the two ranchers and ordered them to come along, The ranchnen braced their legs and resisted. "Come along!" cried the oflicer, I arrest you hot ht for disturbing the peace." "What you want? What you a-do?" cried the mncu "1 arrest you, you are disturbing the peace. you are blocking up the street ?" cried the officer, still holding the collars of the pair. One of the men shook himself loose and assuned a warlike attitude. "What I" cried the policeman, "you will resist-you resist an ofllcer? I'll see that you go," and he blew his whistle. This action and the sight of the whistle if not the sound of it far enlightened the two mcn that they understood that an olicer had gothold of them for something. "You one officer ?" asked one of the ranchers. The oflicer answered in the aflirmative. "What for you arresta me?" said the man, 'speaka loud, me no hear very good." The officer shouted in his ear : "I ar rest you for disturbing the peace." "llow me have dis,urba de peace ?" "By quarreling and shouting here in the street--don't you see you have collected a crowd ?" "Me no quarrela, inc talka me my friend." "But you were both at it-both yelling and cursing and damning and swearing here ?'' "Very well, but you see my friend he hear-bad all same me-both what you call deaf-a. What for me and my friend no can talk our business but we must be arrest ?" An Italian residing in the city cane for ward at this .uncture and as ured the ofi cers--owing to the blowing of the whistle the rtars were by this time shining on all sides-that he had long . known the two ranchers, and knew both of them to be - ao deaf that they could hardly hear a first class thunder elap. ''lis explanation was qn"ito satisfactory and the officers departed laughing. The two deaf man from TruLkee wore also greatly amused. . They started off up town, and the more they thought of the pre dicament their infirmity had got thon into the better the joke seemed. They went to the neareft, saloon and took a drink over it. Then they told the joke to Iwo or three follow-couhtrymen and - all hands took a drink, Fnally, they took a parting drink and left tihe saloon. As they walked up the street tho adven. ture of their arrest seemed funnier than aver, and just above. Sutton avenue they ;topped to talk it over. The drinks the7y had laken so strengthened their voices that they could be heard two blocks away, and a crowd began to collect and stare, thinkiig the mna were a pair of escaped lunatics. liuddenly an oficer came ro,md the cr ser, redi-faced and exoltedl, and without wvaiting for a word of explanation, grabbed liothx men and began marching thenm off to ward the station house. They resiteed at lret and tried to exlain, -but the oflcer would hear nothing, so they ghve up meekly wd marched along to tile look-up. "What hlave you brought t,hese mna hero for ?" asked City Jailer Buhrdsall, as the lushed ofileer marched in the two frighten 3d ranchmen. 'Ortunk and disorderly," said the oflcor .-."howling in the streets until you could iear them a mile away I" "That's all right." said Jailer Birdsall, 'lot them go, they're the two deaf men 'romi Truckee," ando he- then went on and ixplalned, the case to time oflcer, who cermed a good deal bewildered..

The streets are narrow, as in all Italian cities, butt, differing from manny of the present one, are furnished with side walks, but generally very narrow, and in the middle of some of the streets are flat stones, several incels above the roadway, which serv:d for crossing when the rain overflowed the streetts. The paving through out is with large pieces of volcanic stone, and the ruts made by the passage of vehicles r are plainly visible o i the naain avenues. So far no traces of stables have been found, the skeletons of the horses discovered hav ig been remioved from the court-yards of I the houses Some of the houses still have upon the walls, In a good state of preserva tion, beautiful frescoes, while mosaic pave ments or floors are quite numerous. Many I of the houses are partly built of fine hard bick, and fluted columns, heavily coated with plaster, to represent tu ble, are also qjuite numer'ous. In fact, here, as int Rome, brick, which is thought by some to be a poor thing for buildings, appears to have be,ni i favorite material with the anielits, They not only made good bricks, but, in laying themi, good imortar wais used, ane they had no fear that a building inspector would condemn their work. ''he remains I of the theatres, now exposed to view, show that the present ones, have not chianged much from those of Pompeilli, particularly In Europe, where the close b )xes, with on trances from low ceiling avenu:s, predomi nato. In fact, most. of the theatres on this side of t lie sea are built to keep out the air ani make people as uncomfortable as pos sible, and, I suppose, the theatres of Pon ieii coold not have been worse. One of i the most intmreating features of a visit to Poinpeii is the E'onpeatI Museum, in which is exhibited a great unber of curiosities brought to light (luring the excavations made, andc dultihnItes of which -arc not found in .the niuseut in Naples, which also hits a varied and rare collection of Pon peian curiosities. In the iuseun of Pom pei you find an impression In plaster of a door taken from one of the puildings, with the lock and ancient Iron work; also models of a twig basket much like those now made here; wheel of a chariot and a portion of the ancient wall, with a window t and small iron grating. There are also to t be seen shells, bottles, cups, lamps, vases, money boxes, almost, identical with the earthen boxes sold for children's saving banks. But the most interesting of all the collection are the remains of men and wo men who lost their lives when the city was burned. One or two of these were females who were found lying with their faces to the floor, as if trying to escape the hot and stilling fumes of the ashes. The arrange ment of tie hair and the garments is still visible. Adjoining these are to be found. liuman skulls, loaves of, bread, dried fruits, lamps, bottles, egg shells, trowels, candle. sticks, s'tales, buckets, baskets, and many t wine jars, very sinilar to many seen in the streets of Naples. Skeletons of rats, dogs, chickens, anti other ianimnala, are also ex- I hibited. The Temple of Venus is the c largest and evidently the moat sumptuous .l of any in Pompeil. Portions of the columns t of the, Doric order, still remain. but the ti few paintings on the will that were wot-tht preserving were removed to the Museum at N aples. Ia the T,umple of Mercury there t still stands 'a beautiful md:rblo tltar, with. c bas-reliefs relircenting a sacrifice, In which' the priest makos a libation, assisted by' the ministers, while the bull whlei Is to be d sacriflet is being led to , the altar. There v tre many temples and houses thi tontain r fine mosaic paintings on the wall$,. but to tell of thiim would be but to repeat. what a has so often been written about, "y. t' 4erial Navigatign. . t The science of Aerial. Navigation has for O many years perp)lexedi the minds of aerona--' uts, not scientific men, but this perplexIty 1 need not be of long duration. A little re Iletion upon the p)rinclples whih should i govern the form of the vessel to be used; I and the density of the atmosphiere1 would .1 be sufllcient to.show Its absurdity. When we consider the .velocity which aerial navi- t gation nmust attain, we can find no bet'ter ilhustration than the flsb. Look at the vol- a ocity of the- bird. Now, 1I'may ask why t dloes not the fish swnn faster than the bird ~ can fly? Because of the greater density of ~ the fhtId In which-the fish lives. Thient what I is theo difference between the density of air a and water I Air weighs 81-100 grains to t the cubic mnch. Th'is is shown by the bar- 13 ometel-, at 80 inches, and the thermometer 91 at til0 deg. . Fahrenheit. TChe differenco I betw'een the density of these two bodies is n over p251 grains. Now,. suilpos thte fish aI can switn eight miles an hour in thme water, ( which becomes a resist h.g force to his ulns% 5 then how fast must it fly If It were placed e In the atmosphiere to make the air a resisting ? power? .Just time difference of the denisity C of air and water multiplied ,by 8, the t 41- C tatnee the fish wvould swimi ip an h-mr''in b water.
