A ffermnylranta Kditor's Rencontre Witt* aa-lraui Mute Her. One of the queerest rencontres ever Wwjorded between an editor and citizen occurred in a quiet village in Pennsyl­ vania recently; and, strange to say, tlie C0$us belli could neither be attributed •wely to the editor, the proof-reader, •or compositor. It was simply a con­ catenation of circumstances over which none of these had any control. In fact they didn't know the paper was loaded until it went off and kicked. It aeema that the editor was an industrious local itemizer, nothing ' escaping his •agle eye. He was also a great con­ denser, seldom giving more than a half „ dozen lines to a subject. One day he •wrote the following local, among others: "--The citizens of this village are mourning the loss of twenty valuable dogs, poisoned by some miscreant." That is a model of conciseness--an important fact stated in good English and with no unnecessary words. Later on he wrote some puffs for his adver­ tisers. intending to call around as soon as convenient and collect his quarterly bills. Note how the following three- liner conveys an interesting item of news and at the same time eulogizes a home product: "--Butcher Sniegelfritz, on High street, announces that he has just made up a large batch of fine, large Sausages." No objection can be found to this item, except the repetition of the word "large" so near together; that might have been avoided. It would not seem that any man could get offended at this puff, yet such was the case, and it cost the editor a good mauling and the butcher $50 and costs later on for as­ sault and battery. But this is antici­ pating. Let us again take up the thread of the narrative. It seems that when the forms were made up, the foreman, as was his cus­ tom, put in the local items according to size, commencing with the one-liners like: --How's this for cold ? --Remember the Mite Society. ~ - --Bring in your wood while the sleighing is good, etc. And, as the Fates would have it, the item commendatory of the butcher's sausages came next under the one about the dogs having been poisoned--not even a three-em dash separating them. Let the reader place them thus, or im­ agine the items so placed, when he reads tliem a second time (for which purpose an intermission will now be had); let him also imagine a quick-tempered Teuton who took great pride in the qualitv of the meat he served, and a practical joker who liked to bother the butcher, and the result can be fore­ shadowed. The joker read the item aloud to the butcher and made com­ ments calculated to convince him thai the editor really meant to convey the idea that some of those poisoned dogs had been made into succulent sausage. As soon as the butcher grasped tlie thought, a strange light shone in his eyes, he wiped his hands on his apron, kicked his own dog out of doors, took off aud hung up the apron and called his boy: "Here, Shake, you mindt der shop a leetle vile; I goes owid on some peesness." The joker and one or two othe# cronies, to whom hfe had given the wink, followed. All was quiet in the sanctum. The editor, having finished mailing' the week's issue and charged up the ads and paid locals, was taking it easy .reading some of his choicest exchanges in a desultory way, the scissors being within easy reach, the only weapon lie used. Suddenly a quick, heavy step was heard on the stair, the door buret open,c and almost before the editor knew what hurt him, biff! biff! he was knocked over and the irate butcher was k icking the spittoon, waste-basket and other bric-a-brac about the room. Luckily, the forms on the stone escaped his eye, or much damage would have ensued. The editor presently recovered suffi­ ciently to raiso himself up on one elbow and inquire in a faint voice if anybody was killed by the explosion, when the butcher casually remarked: "You tell some more lies about me mavpe in your baber, don't it? Pv chiminv! auf yon don't mage dot tam lies alius recht next week dot I nod pud dose pizened dogs dat sossage in, I proke your neg, you fer dampt schweinagel!" And he again made a move towards the unlucky editor, and would no doubt have injured him severely, had not the compositors and "devil" grabbed him and shoved liim down stairs. After setting the room to rights, bind­ ing a piece of raw meat (procured at another shop) over the editor's left eye, scraping the paste off his back, and be­ ing satisfied that no bones were broken, he and the foreman looked through the local column to find the cause of the outbreak. They found it, and another fight nearly resulted, the editor nat­ urally being in bad humor--although usually being of a sweet and sunny dis­ position--he claiming that the foreman should have known better than to put the two items so close together, and the latter retorting that it wasn't his business to read over the matter in type, but to put it in the best shape for the appearance of the paper; which fact the editor presently admitted, and harmony was restored. The matter would probably #fcave Tested here--perhaps the editor would even have called on the butcher and ex­ plained how it occurred--had not a lawyer friend advised him to sue for damages and sustain the dignity of the Press, assuring him that he could not help receiving a verdict in his favor, and offering his services for nothing in case he should be defeated. So the suit was instituted, and after an inter­ esting trial, in which the still discolored eye had considerable weight, the jury found for the plaintiff to the amount pf fifty dollars.--Peck's Sun. The Red Cross. The inadequacy of official means to meet the requirements of sick and wounded soldiers in a great war, says a writer in the Nineteenth Century, had long been felt; and, as regards our own army, it was clearly demonstrated dur­ ing the Crimean war.- The campaign in Italy in 1866 brought this more home to the heart of Europe, and it will ever redound to the honor of the citv of Geneva that within her walls the "first international | conference was held in 186U, with a view to the mitigation of some of the horrors of war. On that occasion the institution of national aid societies was established,. and a few Swiss gentlemen were formed into an intA-national committee for the purpose of acting, on the neutral territory of Switzerland, as a link between the aid societies of all countries. In the fol­ lowing year a diplomatic conference was h<>ld in the same place, which was attended by the representatives of sev­ eral states, and the treaty known as "the Geneva convention of the 22d of August, 1864." was then drawn up by the representatives ol sixteen govern­ ments. Within four months it was signed by eight European states--the English government attached its signa­ ture in February, 1865--and at the pres­ ent time it has been accepted by thirty- three states. A second diplomatic con­ ference was held at Geneva in 1868, and there have also been three other conferences of delegates from the Bed Cross societies--one in Paris in 1867, one in Berlin in April, 1869, and the last at Geneva in September, 1884. The treaty was designed to remove soldiers when sick or wounded from the cate­ gory of combatants, and to afford them relief and protection without regard to nationality; this protection is also ex­ tended to all persons officially attached to hospitals or ambulances, and to all houses so long as they contain invalid soldiers. Inhabitants of a country oc­ cupied by a belligerent army, and who mav be engaged in the care of the sick and wounded, enjoy the same privi­ leges. Provision is also made for the return of invalid soldiers to their re­ spective homes. The distinctive mark of hospitals and ambulances is a white flag with a red cross upon it--the colors of Geneva reversed--and individuals wear a white armlet with a red cross. Every red-cross flag must be accom­ panied in time of war by the national flag of those using it. The Passing of a generation. Beginning with the canvass of 1856 and ending with that of 1880, fifteen candidates contested for the Presidency, who belonged to the generation which brought on or carried through the war. Buchanan and Fillmore; Lincoln, his three rivals in 1860, Douglas, Breckin­ ridge, and Bell, and his sole opponent in 1864, McClellan; Grant, and the men whom he defeated in 1868 and 1872, Seymour and Greeley; Garfield and Hancock, the candidates in 1880, are all dead. There remain of the whole list only Fremont, no longer a "pathfinderTilden and Hayes. The conspicuous men of Lincoln's Cabinet are mostly dead, like Seward, Chase, and Stanton, or in the retire­ ment of old age, like Simon Cameron; the "war Governors" are nearly all gone, or where a stray one, like Cui'tin, of Pennsylvania, lingers, no longer powerful; the great leaders in Congress before, during, aud immediately after the war, like Charles Sumner, Henry Wilson, William Pitt Fessenden, "Ben" Wade, Oliver P. Morton, Thomas A Hendricks, *"Thad" Stevens, and Schuyler Colfax, are either dead or re main only as political relics, like N. P. Banks and Lyman Trumbull. In Con­ gress to-day sit but a few men who sat in that body before the war, and of these few John Sherman and John A Logan alone retain a commanding posi­ tion. while Secretary Lamar is the only man in the Cabinet whose polit­ ical record dates back of 1861. There is, something remarkable about the speed with which the political gen eration of the rebellion period has passed from the stage. The contrast with the generation of the Revolution­ ary era renders it more noteworthy. It is now barely twenty-one years since Ap­ pomattox, and yet nearly all the leaders in the struggle are physically or polit­ ically deceased. The Revolution ended in 1783, but it was not until 1825, forty- two years, later, at the expiration of Monroe's second term, that the country ceased to elect Presidents who had en­ tered public life before or during the long contest which began in 1775. The Senate to which Monroe addressed his last annual message in December, 1824, contained several men who had been soldiers in the Revolutionary army nearly half a century before, like Rufus King, of New York, John Chandler, of Maine, and Nathaniel Macon, of North Carolina, and it is easy to see that the proportion of men still in active polit­ ical life who were actors in the Revolu­ tion was, even at that long remove, quite considerable. Tliis was due in no small measure to the youthful precoc ity of these survivors, the Senator Macon, of 1815 to 1S28, having been onlv a boy of 18 when he left Princeton College in 1775 to enlist in the patriot army, and the President Monroe, of 1817 to 1825, but 18 years old when he joined the Revolutionary army. "The fathers" also esc aped the danger of assassination, which removed two of the four Presi­ dents who were elected between 1860 and 1884.--NeiV York Evening Post Iniquities of Moruiondom. Three years ago,- in response to a pitiful letter of entreaty from the be­ reaved parents, I made aif^navailing search for two girls who had been brought to Utah by Mormon niission- ai-ies. While looking for these girls I found two young Englishwomen, sisters, who had stolen away from husband and home and joined the latest Mormon immigrant company. They had gone to the sea-port from which this com-- ] any sailed under the pretense of mak­ ing a visit to a relative, and by the time their husbands began to expect them home they were half way across the Atlantic. Each of the women had brought a little child in her arms, and the husband of one of them, after he ha 1 found out where his wife had gone, wrote to her : "If you are resolved never to come back, if you will not even let, me know why you have left me, at least let the baby make a mark on a sliest of paper aud send it to me, so that I can kiss something lier little hands have touched." Another woman who had all the de­ tails of her flight arranged for bv the lirssionarv who "converted" her, was hurried away from home by night, h aving a nursing babe behind her. She said she did not realize what she was doing until the ship on which the im­ migrants embarked had set sail," and then for the time she lost her reason entirely. She became a polygamons wif ' as soon as she reached Utah, thus cutting herself off from all hope of re­ turning to her home. She surely was not sane at the time of her flight, and she cannot l>e considered so now. She says: "Ever since the dreadful day I set my foot on board that ship I have heard my babv crying. I cannot get the sound out of my ears. I hear it everywhere and always." A woman wli > lived in my familv as a domestic told me she was persuaded to steal away from home in her husband's absence, carrying with her her little boy, their only child. The husband anil father never held up his head after the day he came back to his desolate home, and six months afterward died, as his friends said, of a broken heart.-- Salt Lake Correspondent 0 i "MYfrien's,"saida colored preacher, "a man's character is like a fence--you can't strengthen u it by whitewash, though you can cover up the places where it is worm-eaten." > As MANY as 600 standard English works have been translated into Chi-1 nese. Bntfes and S=spcn:njmtlc% of «b« SurfeMM, ' Few persons upon reading an account of a post-mortem examination stop to consider the importance of the matter, or the time taken up to do the work o! an autopsy. The post-mortem surgeons are important officers, who make all the medico-legal examinations for the city, and are the medical witnesses for the State in cases where post-mortem exam­ inations are required. There are two post-mortem physicians in Baltimore, Dr. S. V. Hoopman, for the ten lowei wards, and Dr. L. W. Councilman, fox the ten upper wards. A reporter, wishing to witness the post-mortem work, called on Dr Hoop- man, just as he was starting to perform Slich a duty. Arriving at (he house, about twenty medical students were found, who accompanied Dr. Hoopman to the room where the dead body lay. A table was prepared by covering it with an oil-clotli. The clothing was removed from the l»ody, and it was placed on the table. The doctor carefully inspected the corpse and noted all the wounds, which in this case were found to l)€ three, two bullet wounds and one knife gash. The head was first examined. An incision was made from c*ir t i eai over the top of the head, followed by a gash of blood, which made some of tlu spectators remember that thav were needed outsid? for a moment. Tlit- scalp was reflected backward and for­ ward and the skull exposed. The skull was then sawed around on a line with the eyebrows. When the top of the skull was removed, the doctor took out the brain. That beautiful organ, with its fissures and convolutions, was a mass of blood, the fatal bullet having plowed its way diagonally through it. An in spection of the neck showed that an­ other bullet had entered at the back, passed through toward the front, sever­ ing the carotid artery and jugular vein. The next move was to make a long in­ cision from the chii^down to the navel. The breast bone was dissected, and the heart and lungs taken out for inspec­ tion. After carefully examining thf heart, the doctor remarked that 44thf colummc carnne, chordae tendinea? and Kuriculo-ventricular and semi-lunai valves are all healthy." The lungs were found healthy. ' A piece thrown in wa ter would not sink, which the doctoi said was a test for healthy lungs. The stomach, liver, spleen, pancreas, and intestines were all in turn carefully re moved and inspected. All this com­ pleted, the organs were replaced and the incisions carefully sewed up. Sc completely is this done that when thf body is dressed the fact of the post mortem examination having been made is not apparent. "How many post-mortems have yov made during the year?" asked the re­ porter. "About forty, and about one hundred since I have been making postmor­ tems." _ ,j. Glancing at the watch it was fount; that four hours had been occupied ir performing the interesting examination. Post-mortem physicians are appointed yearly, their selection being made l\\ the mayor. In each case they file a re­ port of the autopsy at the health de­ partment.--Baltimore Sun. About Egyptian Mummies. In a work on the land, of the Pharaohs, the author, Miss Gordon Cummings, shows that it is possible to give a fresh interest even to old subjects, and liei account of the disposal of mummies will be nsw to many readers: "It if strange, indeed, to find a nation such ait Egypt once was--the greatest and most civilized of all peoples--now so liter ally proving herself fas Ezekiel foretold she would become) 'the basest of the nationsthat, not content with convert ing the bones of thousands aud tens oi thousands of her ancestors into charcoal, to be used in refining sugar for tlieii degenerate descendants and their foreign task-masters, she must neetb actually make merchandise of liei dead. These prec ious mummies, whicl. in the days of lier glory were accounted worthy of such exceeding honor thai they were consid< red the very best security on which to lend mone;> inasmuch as the Egyptian who had been driven to pawn his deceased father or mother would sooner die that fail to redeem his pledge, now in thf hour of Egypt's degradation are valued at so much per ton, and sold tc strangers and. aliens as a suitable manure for foreign soil. As you journey toward Memphis, you might very recently have chanced to meet long strings of camels, heavily laden with human bone-dust from the tomlts. Here, too, from these edd Alexandrian catacombs to the merchant vessels in the harbor, barges laden with brown dust ply to and fro. Their cargo is carried on lx>ard in baskets and thrown into the hold; and the vessels deli vet their choice goods in British ports id £6 10s per ton, to be mixed with the guano of Peru, and sold at a consider­ able profit. Several eye-witnesses have told us how they visited the ancient sepulchres while this work was going on, and saw pieces of human bone, small earthenware lamps, and tear glasses, among the dishonored dust oi these myriad Egyptians, who were t<; be carried over the seas to ftr.'elize English fields. We turned away from Alexandrian catacombs marveling how many generations may elapse before the common race deals thus with England's dead. The bones of bygone generations of old Egyptians are not the only relics with which this present age has dealt ruthlessly. A gentleman told me that a few years ago he had ridden about seven mjles into the plain to the east of Alexandria, a spot rarely visited, where, to his amazement, hie found ruins of buildings, pillars and sepulchres carved in the rock, which lie could only compare .to those of Arabia Petrea. While he stood there, some workmen were employed in dragging forth a sarcophagus carved •with intri­ cate figures--a treasure for any museum. Its destination, however, was to be cast into a limekiln, as being the easiest way obtain lime for building a mosque.' Artificial Leather. Artificial leather is, according to a French invention recently patented, made by a cotton fabric, the warp threads of which are very slightly twisted, and the weft threads of which are finer than usual. This fabric is serrated on both sides, and immersed ip, preparation consisting of a decoction of linseed, rabbit-skin glue, linseed oil and coloring natter. When the fabrio is impregnated with this preparation, it is stretched upon a polished zinc plate laid upon a steam-heated hot plate, the drying being continued until the aqueous portion is entirely evaporated. It is claimed that this artificial leather is an excellent imitation of the real thing. BJ: cheerful and you are bound to be Tiealthy. The despairing patient is the one who dies.--Chicago Ledger.

Our Northern Boundary. The northern boundary of our coun­ try is marked by stone cairns, iron pil­ lars, earth mounds and timber posts. The stone cairns are 7 jxS feet, the earth mounds are 7x14 feet, the iron pillars are 7 feet high, 8 inches s juare at the bottom, and 4 inches at the top; the timber posts are f) feet high and 8 inches square. There are 385 of these marks between the Lake of the Woods and the base of the Hocky Mountains. That part of the boundary which lies east and west of the lied Hiver Valley is marked by cast-iron pillars, at even mile intervals. The British have placed each alternate one of these pil­ lars, and tbe United States those be­ tween. Upon one side of each post is cast the inscription, "Convention of London," and on the other side, *4Oct. 20, 1818." Where the line crosses lakes stone heaps have been built in the water, projecting several feet above high-water mark at the surface.
