Rosine's Hair.
In an upper room, in the city of Parts, a
poor woman lay upon a wretched bed, and
a young girl sat near her. Both had been
silent for some time. The elder woman
spoke first.
"Oh, 'ne, what shall we do now?"
she said Nhas 'tad enoughr

"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

in the little room, but the sound of voices

tender '-dr'ds, rirabhted t6' "girl. 'Bt, at

-Rosiuv.
"I beg pardon, Mademoiselle, but few
young girls wodldbe *villing to sell that
hair of yours for any sum whatever," he
said, kildly., "May I ask your motive?"
"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

"Is Monsieur in the hair-dressing line?"
asked the proprietor.
"No," said the gentleman; "I shall buy

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.

Gen. Ilrndleck's Qravo.
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

"Two Dneaf Men from Trucku."
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

and the lead pipes that conducted the water
to them are found in a good state of preser
vation. 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

The science of Aerial. Navigation has for O
many years perp)lexedi the minds of aerona--'

we consider the .velocity which aerial navi- t

ocity of the- bird. Now, 1I'may ask why t
dloes not the fish swnn faster than the bird ~

is theo difference between the density of air a

the cubic mnch. Th'is is shown by the bar- 13

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
