But they did not wear a very soldier-like a for all that; they moved heavily and clam- mly, and handled their musket: and they hsd teen nioreusrd toploughs and spades than weapons-of war. F Awkward though they seemed, however. thae very men were to be able, cnl a few yesrs later, to give King Charles of weden (who was then thought to be the best soldier olive) such a beating that neither he nor his army ever meddled with Russia again. But as they were now, they made a poor figure enough; and so, no doubt, thought a big red-haired man in Russia uni- form, who, with his arms folded on his broad chest, and sscornfulsmile on bisfsec, was watching half a dozen of them light a fire. " Pretty fellows you are to csll yourselves soldiers i" cried he, in broken Russian. " who you can hardly tell a butt of a gun from its muzzle, and don't even know how to kindle a fire yet. We is things better in Silesia, where I 2:21am and is so much better bred." ” Will, if your country than ours, why didn'tyou stay there! asked one of the Russian recruits, sulkily. “ Because I was wanted hero to make you Banish lubhers into soldiers," answer- ed the Silesiaii fiercely; and a mighty hard job it is." ' ' The recruit muttered something between his teeth, butdid not venture to make any direct reply; for. this ,Sileeian,’ Michael Kmtsch, was a noted bully, and the strong- est man in the re intent, and any one who tried to or c wit him generally ended by getting a roken head for his pains. - While Kratsch was still fuming and find- ing no one to vent his anger upon, a little drummer-boy, coining..psst with a can of water much too heavy for his thin arms, stumbled against him by accident. Like certainly lightning Big Michael faced round and dealt . the poor little fellows kick which sent him to the ground, screaming with pain, and caused him to spill every drop of precious water that had cost so much trouble to bring. An angry murmur ran through the group of Russians, and the Silesian turned savagely upon them. “ What are you growling at, you dogs? If you have anything tosay to me, say it out. You ought to know by this timeul should think, that one honest Silosian is a match for half a dozen such as you i" " Are you quite sure of that l" asked a deep voice behind him. livery one looked round with a start, for nobody had noticed a soldier standing near the group, and listening to the Silosian’s boastful talk with a smile of quiet amuse- meat. The newcomer‘picked u the little drum- mer boy very ten orly, re led his can from a bucket that stood near, and sent him awe . rejoicing. Then he came up to the ta I Silesisn and looked him fullin the face. Kratsch tycd the stranger from head to foot, and did not altogether like the look of him.

But he was as tallas Big Michael himself, while his huge limbs ' and brawny chest .made such- a show of strength that most people would have thought it wuch better to shake hands with him than to fight him. “ So l" said the green-coated man, quie'.ly, “ one Silosian is a match for half a dozen Russians, eh! \Vill, I can see that he’s their match at bragginq, anyhow l" The Russians chuckled at this unex t- ed hit, and one of them laughed outright. Kratsoh's f ace flushed purple with rage. and for a moment he seemed just about to fly at the speaker's throat. But there was some- thing in tho stranger's bearing, and in the calm, steadfast glance of his kcon black eye, which cowed oven the fierce soldier, who drew back with s. sullen growl. ““10“," said Greencoat. quietly, “we Russians have a saying that corn doesn't grow by tslkin .

Michael Kratsch throw off his coat, and baring an arm as thick as an ordina man's kueo, hurled the stone seven g yards away. The Unknown threw, in his turn, so care- lessly that he seemed hardly to exert him- self at all, yet the stone fell a foot beyond Kratsch’s mark. . ,9 The Russians raised a about of triumph, and Michael's fsoc grew as black In mid- night.

And so he did, for his leap ov ed liratscb’s by six inches at least.

As my companion, who had paused a mo- ment to walked toward the far. end of the hall, I fol- lowed him, and ed into a small ream on the ri ht, where, with the assistance of a colorc servant, we exc ed our .coats, hats,?snd shoes for others‘ more in ice ing with our surroundings. Firstia long p ash gown, quilted with silk downths front, and irrggularly ornamented in head and braid with desigris of serpents, flowers, crescents, and stars, was slipped on over the head. Next a tasselled smoking cap was donned, and the feet incascd in noiseless list slippers. In any other place or under any other cir- cumstances I should have felt. ridiculous in this costume, but so in keepingiwas it with all I had seen, and so thoroughly had I seemed to have left my every-day self in the dark vestibule, that I felt perfectly at home in my strange dress. We next crossed the hall to a smaller room, where a young man, apparently a Frenchman. furnished as on the payment of two dollars each, with two small pipes and a small covered bronze cup, or am, lied with a green dry shrub, which I subsequently learned was gunjeh (the dried tops and leaves of the hemp plant), for smoking. My friend, on the pay- ment of a further sum, obtained a curious little box which contained some small black lozenges, consistin of the resin of hemp, and a. flower. They are in’sclid colors, such as evening blue, pink, cream, white, and black, and the requireibut little addition â€"for the simp er the form in which they are made the butt -but; the little should, of course, be of the best quality. Much of the beast of the design is derived from the con- trast‘ in' texture, and the effects obtained from the combination of armuro or Ottoman in the ground, with dull satin or amure leaves, and a vcining which seems to be ex- ecuted in embroidery stitch.’ The whole ensemble is very rich, and few will believe, when exhibited on the counters of llading dry goods stores, that they are of American (and New York) manufacture, the eneml impression in regard to American ail s hav- ing been obtained from the span silks. which has a finish so much like the obsolete p0 lin. thei- novelties produced by our own manufacturers consists of strig-iiâ€"“ hair" stripesâ€"W q no ,golari, black and another, as, for example, black and ‘mauvc', black and‘electrio blue, bl 1_ '- old gold, black , aifd bronze", and man ' ' combinations. U is these are brocaded r ower designs in a third color, which is in contrast to the ound tone, but produces no violent shock. a the contrary, the efl'ect is rich, yet bright and cheerful. and seems to suggest them as suitable fabrics for dinner dresses or oven- ing receptions at home.” The richest among the stuffs intended for suits and costumes are very. beautiful satin brocades in small fig- ures, :intended‘ for combination with plain velvet or plain satin duchcssc.

Sunset silk is a rich brocade in very handsome and effective patterns in white. with blue or ink color through it, which gives it an un escribablc lowâ€"ascrt of reflection of color, which is infinitely more delicate than color itself. All the new bxo'cadcs have amurc effectsâ€"those that are imported as well as those that are made heroâ€"and the figured plushes are re- sppoaring for cloaks, and combination with a new satin that is woven with a shorter loop than satin duchesse, and is, therefore, better adapted to give good wear, while it is equally thick and contains as much silk. The tapestried silks are yet ritcipnlly used for upholstery, but some ’es are be- ginningto combine them with velvet, and to use them for sthe fronts of “ picture" dresses in conjunction with Wattcau trains of dull, thick satin or velvet.

Passing from this room we ascended the richly carpeted stairs, enarbored by vines, and paused upon a landing from which three doors opened. Upon one a pink card bore Dryden’s line, ‘ , , “Take the good the gods proyldc thee." The nob turned by my friend’s hand allow- ed the door to swing open. and, welcomed by a spice breeze from India, we were truly in paradise.

Pro; pared by what I had already seen and'ch pericnccd for something odd and Oriental, still the magnificence 0 what now met my gaze far surpassed anything I had ever dreamed of, and brought to my mind the scenes of the Arabian Nights, forgotten since boyhood until now. My every sense was irresistibly taken captive, and it was some moments before I could realize that I really was not the victim of some dream, for I seemed to have wholly severed my connec- tion with the world of today, and to have stepped back scvu'al centuries into the times of genii, fairies and fountainsâ€"into the very heart of Persia or Arabia. Not an inharmonious detail marred the symmetry of the whole. Beneath. my feet sank almost ankle-doe into a velvety car- petâ€"s sea of subdue colors. Looked at closely, I found that the design was that of a garden ; beds of luxuriousvflowcrs, stars 'irud crescents, squares and diamond-shaped plots, made up of thousands of rare exotics and richly colored leaves. Hero is brook, edged with dump verdnrc. from beneath which pceped coy violets and tiny bluebells; there a serpentine gravelled walk that wound in and out amongst the exquisite plants, and everywhere it thousand shrubs in bloom or bad. Above, a magnificent chandelier. consisting of sixdrsgons ofbcatcn gold, from whose eyes and throat sprang sures, the light from which, strikin against a series of curiously sot prisms, fell shattered and scintillating into a thousand glancin beams that illuminated every cor- ner of t e room. The rows of prisms being of clear and variously colored glass, and the dragons slowly revolving, a Weird and ever- chsngiug hue was given to every object in the room. ~.- All about the sides of the spacious spart- meat, upon the floor, were mattresses cov- ered with different colored cloth, and edged with heavy golden fringe.

The number of products and the character of the people are likewise remarkable. The gums, rubber, ivory, camphor, wood and a: host of other things would repay transporta- tion, even by the very expensive mode at present in use. The people are born traders, and are, for Africans, very enterprising and industrious. They are bold'in their expo,- ditions, and risk everything to turn an hoa- est enny. - y reception by this people was very flattering. Two incidents w ioh occurred will keep my memory green for some time. A populous district was divided against it self, and there was nothing but wsr,.throat cutting. carrying off of women, and much other atrocious cvil. One of. the chiefs in more prosperous times had visited one of my stations below, and we' had puruhased'a fine, large canoe from him, which we had with us. He recognized it as we Were sailing” past, and called _out., “To went ashore and made it our minds to halt and bu‘yiprovis- ions. t was then I learned that the chief was at war with his former friends, and among the names of; the ohiefsftlia'tliolmeu- tioned was one who had pledged brotherhood with one of my subordinates. The causes of the war and {alleles I soon learned, and I tlion askcd‘: ' ‘ ’ ' ' ’ “ How long have you been fighting 2" h: “Two months." “ Can I not do something to stop it I”. “ Oh, yes, if you will. They will all lis. tento you. We arr well tired of it, because we lose money and life, but we dare not ask for peace first.” I sent two of my boats to the rival chiefs and told them if they wished to see me and to make brotherhood with me to stop the war. “ We leave it to you,"-'thoy said. “ You decide as to who is wron , and let the guilty arty pay a fine.” , T rec days’ talk settle the matter, peace was declared, and I was elected father and mother of the country. A little below there was another populous district called Hoindi. They heard of what I had' done and sent me a very hearty welcome. Herc also I was elected father and mother. I have been delighted with my trip and enjoyed robust health. Indeed I feel at this moment as strong and as active as ever.

They are the cause of fevers, rheumatism, Bright's disease of the kidneys, pneumonia, blood poisonin , liver disease, diphtheria and many other lll - meats} Latily Professor Koch, a fem nus German physician, has proved that con- sumption of the lungs is due to this causeâ€" thc presence of a peculiar germ. When the circulation is bounding, the nerves elastic and the system all sglow with life and energy. the germs seem to develop poorly, if at all But: with weakened nerves, poor digestion or nialassimilstion of food or a lowering of vitality from any cause. a change ensues, and in this im- poverished and weakened fluid the germ fiadsagepiol home and develops until symp- toms of disease are distinctly manifested. This is seen in the, everyday experience of all. The healthy man resists the influences around him and does not take cold, while those whose systems have ’bccomc. weak from any cause readily contract colds. This is on the same principle as the germ thcry. The germs'aftsck any weakened spot; in the body, and fixing themselves upon it, begin their propagation. It is plain therefore that it is onl by fortifying the weak por- tions of the dy that the germs of disease can be resisted and driven from the system.
