The cabin paaaengera were nearly all on ceck, and the captain, HeeiuK tbo danger, called to them to prepare for the shock. A panic ensued, particularly anion;" the women and children, of whtim there waa a larijo iiniuber. Th') (Oceanic struck the Chciter on the port aide and the shock waa terrific.

Not Always Ilehlnil. It ia not always boya who are ungrateful It ia sometimes the daughter's unkindnesa that is sharper than tlie serpent's tooth.

A venerable gentleman paasing Btoope<l and said, "Never behind when you were sick, waa she?"â€" C'/iriitian Advocate. (Letter ia tba London Daily News.) On either side of the door of Simon Connell'a hoasa was asmall window stuffed with brush wood, and through both win- dows the syringes began to play. There- fore, to protect the emergency men, the sheriff ran up and clapped bis shield npon one of the small windows, while a battering- ram follower stuck another shield npon the second window. A prod from a long pole thrust the sheriff and his shield away from the wall, and a torrent of hot water fell all over the battering-ram warrior, who, in spite of it all, maintained bis hold upon his shield, sheltering hia head behind it. A couatable sabatituted a wooden board for the shei iff and hia shield, and in order to keep the board in its place posted a ladder againat it. Thia stopped the syringe play in that quarter, but through the other win- dow the hot water torrents rushed, fre- juently drenching the shield bearer from head to foot. Inside there were only Bimon Connell, bis son and his two daughtersâ€" four people, three of them very young pitted against all the cavalry and infantry outside, and with a bot-water syringe or two against all those heavy batons and ritles and sword- bayonets. '• Have you hniahed with your hot water yet ?" the shield-bearer ex- claimed ironically. " No, yon apalpeen," the man inside replies, " there's plouty for ye." "Out wid it, then, my lad," retorted the other. Out it did come, and no mis- take, sousing the emergency man from head to foot, and reducing hia billycock to a pulp; but ere long the old ramming eong breaks out, " Back away with them, back away with them," and the battering-ram ia at laat in full swing, thundering against door and wall, shaking the fort at each blow. At the aeveoth blow a portion of the door gave way, and throagh the aper- ture came promptly forth hot water and steam. At the tenth blow the door fell in pieces, but, as the breach was still not wide enough for the storming party, the batter- ing ram was turned npon the portions of the wall on either side of the entrance. The men drawn up on the right of the farmyard aijuare, aa alao those on the left, were drawing their batons, twisting the thongs round their wrists and prepar- ing for a rush. Down cornea a huge frag- ment of the wall, down cornea another, and another, exposing the dimly-lighted interior and the figure of a young girl with dis- heveled hair rushing across the room. " Back away with them." Down comes another piec<' of wall in a cataract of bricks, stones and duet. "Charge," and up the heaps of broken wall, like troops scaling an enemy's earth. worka, the oon- atabularyrush, with batons overhead. They disappear down the other side iu a cloud of dust, while the roof, deprived of ita wallsup- (Xirls, shook as if it would fall and bury de- fenders and sturmers alive. Through the dust aud steam I could see figures rushing madly about. Eor about a minute or so, though tha time seemed lunger, there were the aouiid.s of wild tramplinge aud scoDling, shrieks of women, and groans, and then they all came out in headlong confusion, captors and captives, and, held fast in the grip of three constables, the father, Simon Connell, with torn clothes and face pale as a corpse, and one aide of hia head aud the whole ol hia breast and waist-coat literally streaining with bluud. llu had three ter- rible wounds in the head. He tottered aa if he would faint. Well, I fancied myself pretty well acoustomed to ugly sights iu battle of another sort, but I must coufeaa I felt dazed and aiokened at the apeotacle suddenly bursting upon me of this poor, toil -worn, bruken-down Iriah peaaant help lesa and bleeding, in the hands of the strong men who were wrecking hia hearth and shattering his old home into rains. " Ue fought like a demon," said a oonatable who hurried past me. Hia head dropped over his cheat, he ataggered to a walk, the H. 1. C. aupportcd him. Ho sat down on the ground, leantxl his back against the wall and groauetl. The regimental doctor came up. Lint, scissors and the other necessary materials were fetched from the ambulance waggon, and Connell'a wounds were dressed. Conuell's son, a boy, was wounded on the head, and the blood ran down his face, but bis hurt waa nut serious. The last i-viotion today was that of Margaret Madigan, who holds 13('i acres at Ladnore. The approach of the sheriff to tha farm must have been for some time anticipated, for the roads were cut up and blockaded in several places, and as a con- Boijuence the sheriff was delayed for a long time in getting the ram up tu the house. The house iiself, a neat tliatched cottage, was well strengthened with huge timber bc^anis and stout young trees to resist, for a time at least, the asjaults of the batter- ing ram. When at length the door was forced opin a shower of hot water deluged the bailiCfs. The ram waa then directed against the adjacent wall, which, being very old, soon crambled to dust beneath its strokes. More water waa thrown out and no reply given to the. repeated calls for surrender made by Col. Turner. Inspector Ilill, Huatcbiog a shield from one of the bailiffs, rushed into the house, when a atone thrown from a loft in the house caused him to beat a preiipitale retreat. He then said to (Jol. Turner : " A oaae for tlxi'd bayonets, sir;" but Col. Turner said : " No ; try batona first. ' Cecil Uoche headed a baton party, which was to take the house by storm ; but anotber stone or two routed them. Just now the aged tenant and her grandchild came out of the house, and it became ap- parent that the male defenders had taken refuge in a small loft at one end of the house. As they refused to come out. Col. Turner ordered in a dozen men with fixed bayonets. Inspectors Dunning and Hill leading the attack. They were received with a volley of stones, to which Mr. Hill replied hy throwing one up into the loft, while Mr. Dunning called out to Col. Turner, " Shall weUre, sir?" Col. Turner teplied, " Certainly." Whilst this fusillade of stones waa in progress a couple of police- men had Buooecded in putting np a ladder against the aperture of the loft, and up to this Messrs. Hill and Dunning climbed armed with bailiffs' crowbars. With these iustrnmenta they forced a way into the prisoners were broaght before Cecil Roche who remanded them in custody. When most of the furniture had been removed the ram was again set in motion, and two sides of the house were levelled, so as to render it perfectly uainhsbitable. How to Have Fine Shoaldara. Begin with ten minutes' work, the wet towel pinned tightly around the hips, cor- set off and a Mother Hubbard gown on, which is the beet modern version of the Greek robe possible. Wot the head well, for the exercise will pump the blood well over the body, heating the temples and spine ; roll np your sleeves, sponge and wipe the arms dry and go to work, moderately at Qrst. In ten minutes or less ijuit, sponge off the muscles that quiver and burn, drop into an easy seat and rest ten or fifteen minutea, then pull again, resting and working for an hour. Keep thia up a month and you won't know your shouldera and arma fortbe same. Walker, in bis known work on artistic beauty, saya the absence of line arms in women is due to long sleeves and want of exercise. Pump- ing, sweeping, spinning, throwing stones at a mark and playing quoits are all better than tennis or rowing to aecore finely- modeled arms and busts. The way to get the moat benefit from work ia to time one- self and see how much can be done in a quarter hour, a half hour, and so on till the sweat fiows, that great restorer of the complexion and retiner of the ligure. It carries off the grosaness of the body, and though it ia a proverb in outspoken dis- tricts that such a one ia " too proud to sweat," and I have heard ladies of middle station in society aver that they never perspired, as if it were a sign of gentility â€"they n»ver failed to pay the penalty in thick sallownesi of face aud adipose. The moderate, easy-going woman grows fat. The active, quick-footed one keeps down her tlesh and shows aa trim a waist and ankle at -I'l as she had at 20. The fatal thicken- ing at the back of the neck by which men profeas to know women past tO, is an un- necessary consei^uenoe. The woman who uses the shoulders freely and rapidly will show as tlat and fine an outline at 80 as my beautiful Italian " Reading Girl, ' and there is hardly a pleasanter sight after the roses and lily figure of IG than one of these trim, nice, wholeaome ladies of IJO, with a waist aa fine aa that of her own grand- daughter. A woman who is too fine to work is too fine to be fair, and she will be stoutâ€" the one fatal defect in a woman of any age. m I'aailonate Veraltler*. A new lady poet appears as a contributor to that valuable Democratic journal, the Detroit Free I'ret^. The name of this lady is Sarah K. Bolton, and her poem is upon ".That Laat, Laat Night," and we quote: Your htud, electric to iny own, Vour li|», mora precluutihan a Ibrone, Were miiu'. alt joy! and mine alone, That last, last nifjbt. We suggeet to the gifted but too careless author of these lines that they violate the canons of orthodox poetical art. While it may not be improper for a young lady tu smack a gentleman electrically on the lips, firovided be ia her declared and accepted over, and she is his affianced bride, it ia contrary to all rules tu kiss and tell ; and no lady who is admitted to the privilege of holding the thrilling hand of her beloved, and hanging ou the precious honey of his lips should go away and forget thia fun- damental rule of good mannera. Next, there is something unpleasant in the re- mark that these lips were last night hers alone. What did ahe expect 7 Did she think be would allow other girls to kisa him alao ? We are anxious about oar lady poets. They manifest a disposition tu pub- lish in their verses occurrences that are, doubtleaa, very sweet in themaelves, but which ought not unnecessarily to be dragged into the full bla/.e of impertinent cotoriety. â€" .Y. r. .Su7i. AH, TK9, THK WOMAN. Two Men After Her, and the aoT«mna*Bt Finds a fimnrclar. P. J. Rogers, the smoggler, captured in Boston on Saturday, waa before United States Commissioner Hallett Wednesday and was held in 92,000 for the Septembar term of the United States court. It is believed that this case is bat the precaraor of othera that will soon be brought before the courts. One case contains all tha elements of a French novel. A well known doctor of philology, who has bad the honor of imparling a knowledge of modem tongues to infant EohenzoUerns in Ger- many, and who is known in the Unitad States as the inventor of the " Meisters- chaft system " of acqairiog EuropeAn languages, came to Boston about twelva months ago and settled doivn in an altm fashionable boarding bouse. His system of teaching brought an ample income, •â-  many wished to learn German from ona who had taught tbo children of the Ger- man Emperor. He became a great favorite at the boarding house, and among othera who sought his acquaintanca was a railroad man, a travelling agent for one of the most prominent roads iu the country. As the inti- macy grew closer between these two, the railroad man explained to the doctor how it waa that he could live in a style ap- parently beyond his income as an employee of a corporation. With bis railway busi- ness he combined that of smuggling into this country woollen fabrics of the highest class. To those whom he knew he waa always glad to furnish suit patterns at » price much lesa than they could be obtained in a legitimate manner. As the revenue was impersonal and not among the poa- aibilitiea as a student of modern languagea, the doctor could see no evil in evading it, and as he wanted some new clothes, his railway friend voluntered to get hia clothes made in Canada and bring them through free of duty and the bargain waa closed. Between the sending of the order and the reception uf the goods a new factor arrived in the person of a beautiful woman with whom the doctor and the railway man atraightway fell in love. The latter be- came the favorite suitor and the doctor was in despair. Then the clothes came, and with them au idea to the doctor. He saw how to obtain revenge. He addressed a note containing the facts about the rail- way man's scheme to a customs' official and refused to pay for the clothes. Tha last act showed the smuggler the necessity of caution, and by the time the authoritiea had got their investigation well under way he found an immediate call for hia pre- sence in Canada.

Arriving there he foand the body of a young woman, a member of the party, who was very handsome in form and face. The entire camp was in sad- ness over the sudden death ot thia young woman, who was the pot of the party, and who was considered theiiueenof the camp. Mr. Ueed was told that they were going to burn up everything belonging to the dead woman. Valuable blankets, shawls, dresses, her private carriage, harness, letters, and, in fact, everything ahe owned, was cast on the pile and burned up so aa to keep away evil spirits and bring good luck to her followers. One blanket she had used as a coverlet, handsomely worked, and worth at least S'20, waa consumed with the rest. At Chester, on Saturday week, before Mr. Justice Field. Mary Ellen Coleman was charged with the manslaughter ot bar husband, John Coleman, at Stockport, on the 17th of April last, aud pleaded "Guilty" to the charge. From the statement made by the prisoner's counsel it appeared that the deceased man bad been in the habit of brutally ill-treating the prisoner, and on the day of the fatal blow the deceased had been drinking heavily, atkl the prisoner endeavored to get him hooM from a public-house. While doing ao ha kicked her violently in the cheat. She retreated into another room, and the deceased followed her and sat down on a ohair by the fire, leaning down to where a poker waa lying.

The presiding judge, Mr. Justice Smith, said that the prisoner had done " that which was proper " in kicking the man Black downstairs ; and went on to suggest that in a paroxysm ot rage, in- duced by the action of Black, the prisoner had turned upon his wife and inflicted upon her the injuries ot which ahe died. " There were," Mr. Justice Smith continued, " man- alaughtera and nianalaugbters," and as tha prisoner at the bar had been iu prison awaiting trial for two months, Hia Lord- ship expreaaed hia determination to indiot no further punishment, but ordered him to be imprisoned for one ray, which waa eijuivalent to diicharging him.
