For two days she went about har houaohold duties with her throat cut and gradually bled to death in a suicide that lasted as long as she had sufficient strength to keep on hor feet. The report is confirmed that the Russian Oovemment has concluded an arrangement with the firm of H. Hersent & Co., of Paris, for tlie raising of a sum of 25,000,000 roubles gold in order '.^ construct the Rerecop Canal, in the Criniea. The canal will establish a direct route between the Don, the Black Sea and the Sea of AzofT, and three lines of rail. The strategical importance of the canal is apparent ; but it will also enable the RuBsiaus to bring the coal and coke of the Don collieries to the Black Sea ports at low rates, and thus undersell the English coal, which at present enjoys almost a monopoly in those ports and at Constantinople. Db. T. D. Crothebs is working hard to prove tla inebriety is contagious under certain circumstances. He has just printed a paper entitled " Certain Hereditary and Psychical Phenomena in Inebriety," to illustrate his doctrine that intoxicbtion mfty be imparted by contagion when here- ditary defects predispose the system to snob influences. That is to say, a perfectly sober man, brought in contact with drunken men, may become drunk himself to all practical intents, or an equally sober per- son whose parents, one or both, were hard drinkers, may, when exposed to some sud- den mental shock, apparently become fully intoxicated. It is pointed out that the British Empire extends over a far larger territory than that which was governed by ancient Home, the superflcee of the latter being one million and a half square leagues. No Bngliih-speaking people is under foreign rule, whilst Britain governs nearly three hundred million individuals belonging to all nations and speaking all the languages of the world; as, for instance, Germans (Heligoland), Si^niards (GibraItar),Greek», lUlians. Turks (Cyprus), Arabs (Aden), Dutch (Africa), French (Mauritius), Chi- nese, Indians, Peraiaus (Asia), etc. Paix down your chandeliers from the ceiling is the latest fashionable command. Hanging lamps are allowed, but even they must be placed in the corners of a room, so as to add to the effect of irregularitv which is aimed at in msthetic abodes of .erich. But be sure these depending li^: its are securely fastened, for the other evening there came very near being a conflagration in one of Boston's handsomest houses, all on account of " the one weak link " in an antique chain. Do be artistic, if you will, but, at the same time, employ practised workmen to produce the art, especially when kerosene is a factor in it. What is wanted in a forest for timber is tall, upright growth free from knots. Where side limbs appear they not only waste the vigor of the tree but make knots in the wood which mar it for many pur- poees. If planted closely enough nature will thin out the side branches by depriving them of light and air, thus causing them to rot and fall off. But a clean cut with axe or sav. does this more oflectually and without waste of force. If trees in woods were kept trimmed up their growth would be much greater and more valuable. The trimmings will often be worth enough for wood to pay the expense if done when other work is not pressing. Mrs. Hklxn M. Ooooab tells of having recently visited at Elbe Falls., Kan. Mrs. Prudence Crandall Philleo, the plo-;.y old woman who tn her youthful days suffered mob violence, imprisonment and the de- struction of her property because she opened a school in Canterbury, Conn., for colored girls. A year ago the Connecticut legislature was prevailed upon, after a mighty struggle, to jrrant her the pettv allowance of »400 a yer.r as long as she lived, as a partial compensa.ion for her pecuniary losses by the treatment she received in 1833. The staunch oldsoul declares herself com- fortable and happy, with a good farm, the companv of an adopted son and nieces, all the reading matter she wants and the pos- session of all her senses, except a partial loss of hearing. A London newspaper declares that a Captain Maude, who died a week or two since, in the jubilee year of Victoria, was the grandson of a inan who lived twelve years under Charles II. His grandfather. Sir Robert Maude, was born in 1673 ; his father, the first Lord Hawarden, in 1729 and he himself in 1798. Thus three gener- ations have covered 218 years, or an aver- age of seventy-one years to a generation, »od have lived under ten sovereigns. The first Lord Hawarden having been bom as sUted in 1729, married in 1777 for his third wife a young lady of 18, who lived to be 92 and died in 1851. There were thus 122 years between the birth of the husband and the death of his wife. Such a case is probably unique. Thk " Century Magazine " prints for the first time these words of Abraham Lincoln, given in an official reprimand to a young officer who had been court martialed for quarrelling : " The advice of a father to his son, ' Beware of entrance to a quarrel, but being in, bear it that the opposed may beware of thee I" is good, but not the best. Quarrel not at all. No man re- solved to make the most of himself can spare time far personal contention. Btill less can he afford to take all the conse- quences, including the vitiating of his temper and the loss of self-control. Yield larger things to which you can show no more than equal right, and yield lesser ones, though clearly your own. Better give your path to a dog than bo bitten by him in contesting for the right. Even killing the dog would not cure the bite." In a review in the London Spectator of " Old Church Life in Scotland," by Dr. Edgar, the parish minister of Manohlino - " Burns' Mauchlino "â€"there is the follow- ing : " Scotch clorf^ymen were compellod, on occasions, to eke out a living by acting ns tavern-koepcrs. In 1676 the General AsBouiblv took steps to exhort ' such minis- ters and readers as to^od >!» and kei^t Wheh Cirougjian Cole sold his stock in New Orleans the other day three dun ring horses that he has owned for years went with the others by mistake. Mr. Cole at once bought them back, saying that he would never consent to have the horses become the property of any one who would make them work, and that he had decided to put them to a painless death. He pro- posed bleeding them to death, but W. B. Leonard, a liveryman, suggested that the use of chloroform would be a better and less painful mode. This was finally decided ui>on, and a reliable man procured, who was to have performed theoperation. They were all collected in the circus tent. There were Cole, Leonard, the riders and the clowns, the ring-master, the tumblers and leapers and the three \Mt duns. Calling the little mare by name he told her to kiss them all good-bye. The intelligent animal, stretching forward her head, kissed each one. This was more than they could stand, and the sacrifice was put off. Mr. Cole had no place to take them to, so Mr. Leonard promised to find some one who would assume charge of them, under a guarantee never to work them, but to keep them in good order until old age should claim them for the grave.

Th» Tr«>e of Death. On the New Hoih- battlefield wast a tree upon which the soldiers nailed the inscrip- tion : " Tree of Death." Seven Federals were killed behind the tree by Confederate sharpshi' ters. The tree was in advance of the Federal line and was about three htuidred yards from the Confederate works. It was used bv Federal skirmishers, who would sUnd behind it and Xottd and then step out and fire. Confederate sharp shooters went along the Confederate line for neatly a mile in each direction, and then, being so far from the side of the tree that they could see behind it, by a cross firing made it as dangerous to stand behind the tree as to stand in front of it. Seven Federals wore killed behind the tree, and it came to be known as the " Tree of Death." Atlanta Comtitution. A KELIC OK JAMKS IL An Int«r«stlns Oiaoovery at the Scotch College In I'arU. The London Timen of January 8th con- tains the following despatch from its Paris correspondent : An account was given nearly four years ago of the discovery at the Scotch College of two leaden cases, believed to contain the brains of James II. and the heart of the Duchess of Perth. In laying a pipe under the chapel floor the workmen came on a cavity, in which these relics were picked up. Mouseigneur Rogersou, administrator of the Scotch endowmentB, who showed them to me, was of opinion that this pit had been dug in readiness for the intended massacre, either of the persons confined in the college or of the English Austin nuns next door; but it is more likely to have resulted from the exhumation of a coffin for the sake of the lead or other articles of value. Monseigneur Bogerson's original intention was to re-inter the relics, but in a <iuiet way, so as to avoid risk of profanation, and he did not even inform the tenants of the college (now occupied as a boys' boarding school), that the cases had any historical interest. He was not aware, however,that thebrainsof James II. were formerly in a gilt bronze urn attached to a tablet on the wall. This urn disap- peared during the revolution, and the leaded case within it was not further heard of till the discovery of 1883. As there is no record of any other cases with such con- tents having ever been placed in the col- lege, the presumption as to the identity of those found is almost irresistible. I have reason to know, moreover, that the an- nouncement of the discovery evoked inquiries from the highest quarter as to the authenticity and safe-keeping of the brains of James II. Monseigneur Koger- 8on, who took a strong interest in the Stuarts, died three years ago and what had become of the relics, still apparently in his possession up to that time, was a question of obvious interest. He had no relations in France, his kindred in the north of Eiig land were not likely to have interesteil themselves in these relics, and the new administrator is a French ccoleHiastii-. who returned no answer to an iiicjuiry addresiM'd to him. I have, however, now ascertained that the ca8«?s are in the safekwpiiig of Mon- seigneur Hogerson's executor, Mr. O'Keenan, a solicitor, pending a decision as to their ultimate disposal. The Duchess of Perth has no lineal descendants, at least in the male line, and an her heart was originally deposited under an inscribed slab on the "chapel floor, it might fitly be replaced there. The brains of James II. might perhaps be inserted in a new urn, to be placed where the old one stood ; but the Scotch college is now a French school, and though the tenants are very courteous to their rare British visitors, a better known depository might perhaps be found. The brains might, for instance, be interred at St. Germain, with what, I believe, are the only other remains of James II., namely, part of the flesh removed in the process of embalming, and a portion of his bowels. These were discovered sixty years ago. while a church was being restored, and George IV. placed an inscription over them, which Queen Victoria has roHtored. The body itself, confided to the English Benedictines, in the expectation that it would eventually be transferred to Westminster Abbey, dis- ap|>aared during the Revolution, and was probably thrown into a (|uarry- Other relics of James II. in Paris, at St. Omer and elsewhere, likewise disapjxarcil, and a piece of his arm preserved till 1871 by the Austin nans was made away with by the Commune, which used the Iseuilly Convent as a barrack. There ih conse<]uently every 'eason for ensuring the preservation of the coll<'«e relic. Mr. O'Keenan is, I under- stand, in commnnication with Scotch Catholic bishops, and mean%vhile it is satisfactory to know that the case is in safe custodv- A rOBMKB JVBILKK.

At a time when everv one is thinking of the best wa^ in whiob to celebrate the Queen's jubilee in tbe coming year it may not be uninteresting to recall some of the events in connection with the celebration of the jubilee of George III. in 1809. That year was an eventful one. even in the his- tory of the most eventful reign. Great Britain was carrying on an heroic contest in the peninsula. January had witnessed the Battle of Corunna and the death of Sir John Moore, and in July Sir Arthur Wel- lesley was victorious at Talavera, and gained the title of Viscount Wellington Nearer home, on the other hand, we had to lament the mismanagement and failure of the Walcheren expedition. On the dav 01 the jubilee, the 25th of October, 1809, the court was in residence at Windsor, where the celebration was heralded at 6 o'clock in the morning by a sound of trumpets. After divine service the royal party in- spected a bust of His Majesty executed by the sculptor Tumerelli. While the people scramblej for the remains of an ox which was roasted whole, the gentry thronged to a grand fete at Frogmore, enlivened with colored lamps ahd fireworks. " At 10 o'clock the Queen (Charlotte) arrived, and after Her Majesty had join, d the company the fireworks began ; at the conclusion of which there appeared on a sudden, and as if by magic, on a beautiful piece of water opposite the garden-front of the house, two triumphal cars drawn by two sea-horses each, one occupied by Neptune and pre- ceded by the other with a band of music." We read thai they had " a very superb appearance." Twelve marquees were erected on the lawn, " where the company sat down to an elegant supper." In the town of Windsor a large triumphal arch extended from the Castle Inn right over the High street to the town hall, .\nother arch of the same kind was illuminated •â-  by exactly 2.000 variegated lamps." Among other places, the royal town of Kew, where royalty was wont to spend the summer months, was bril- liantly illuminated. In London the jubilee was celebrated with becoming solemnity. London at this time was show- ing its displeasure at the high prices <rharge<l at the newly erected Covent Garden Theatre bv nightly disturbances, which culininatedi in the "O. P.. rots." The foundation stone of the theatre had been laid in January with all the formalities uf Freemasonry by the Grand Master, the Prince of Wales ; and in September the theatre had opened with " Macbeth" and " The Quaker." Kemble playing the part of Maebeth. The exi>ense of building had been great and the prices had been raised, at which the people were mu:h offended, as we see in the doggerel rhvmes invented for the time â€" " Mr. Kemble lower your prices ; for no evasion will suit John Bull on this occasion." At this time, too, men's minds were full of the duel between Canning and Lord Castlereagh, which ha<l lately taken place on Putney heath. Popular feeling was running high against the Duke of York with regard to his conduct in the war. But to return to the jubilee. On the morning of the 25th the Lord Mayor proceeded from the Mansion House to Guildhall, where, being joined by the civic dignitaries, a procession was formed to St. Paul's. Ho Wis received by the " West London Militia," and the interior of the cathedral was lined with " River Fen- cibles." In the evening there was a ban- quet in the Egyptian Hall, " with a plenti- ful supply of Madeira and red port of a moat superior quality and flavor. At night all the principal buildings were splendidly illuminated. The paucity of regular troops engaged in these rejoicings is explained by the fact that all available forces were on foreign service. A pro- clamation was issued for pardoning all deserters from the fleet unconditionally, and deserters from the land forces if they surrendered within two months. The Ijords o( the Admiralty ordered an extra allowance of four pounds of beef, three pounds of flour and a pound of raisins to every eight men in His Majesty's ships in port, with a pint of wine or ha.f a pint of mill each man. Several Crown debtors were also set free, as well as many ordinary debtors, by public subscription. Such is a slight sketch of the jubilee held in the "good old days" wnen George III. was king. â€" SI. Jamft' Gazette. THK FAT rAj«EN«KK'S HAI.

" Just be«t this road from Milwaukee to Chicago," he sai^j. with a roar. " I wanted to get to this toWm the worst way, but I didn't have a cent.

' I was too much interested in the passing scenery to pay any attention to the boaraa, rasping voice. There wa^ a moment o( intense silence, during which my heart beat a loud accompaniment to the puffing of the engine, and then I felt tbe con- ductor's hand fall heavily upon mjr «1 oulder. The concussion was so great that my plug hat fell off into the snow. The conductor stood aghast when I with - drew my uncovered head and looked angrily into his pale face. " ' You've done it ! ' I exclaimed with a fierce air. " â-  I didn't jostle your hat off. did I ? ' he asked. •• • That's what you did.' •' ' But your ticket wasn't in it V 'â-  â-  Certainly.' There was another moment of silence and then the conductor said : " ' I'm sorry, but you'll have to pay your fare.' " ' I have no more money,' I repUed ; ' my all was in my hat.
