Steaming up Channel during the night she had baque out .fromâ€"; and. though no one could quiet tell how the occurred, it was perfectly clear that the barque had gone down, and that the rain of the warship was in a damaged condition. 11. M. S, ,Riivager was ac- cordingiy put into dry-dock for repairs. As very often happens at this place where the vessel was docked. convicts were at work upon the quays. They were a mixed lot; but, being goodâ€"con- duct men, they all enjoyed “a greater freedom of actionin the discharge of their duties than is ordinarily extended to the enforced working guests of the nation. Yet, notwithstanding thisun- spoken testimony to their comparative worth, the commander of the Ravager was less disposed than usual to place trust in them. He was in a ferocious humor, for that little affair with the barque was not unlikely to interfere with his expected promotion. There would be an inquiry, of course; and what Christian ever could tell what con- founded foolishness and injustice the "finding" might yield} He cursed the barque and the i'lll-luck and the navigat- 4 ing lieutenant whom at the time he had left on the bridge, each with impartial fury ; and put a double guard of mar-_ iiies ashore with fixed bayonets and ball cartridge, and a emphatic instruc- tion to "play the very devil with those jailbirds if they tried on any of their cursed nonsense." The extra precaution was scarcely necespary. To do justice to these unâ€" willing residents within the shadow of the broad arrow, they haul no evil de- signs upon her Majesty's warship. ‘l‘hl-ir hostility to an unappreciative country did not rise toquite so great a height as that. All the some, the com- mander might very easily have justified 'his course of action, had such been necessary,by the fact that many of the convicts were working only a few yards from the dock side, and somewhat re- moved from the warders' immediate watchfulness; though it would have been possible to show on the other hand that. being men whose term of ser- vitude was almost completed, these prisoners were perfectly reliable, inas- much as they could not afford to com- mit any indiscretions‘ calculated to jeo- pardize their expected early release on licket-ofâ€"leave. These considerations did not in any way concern the commander of H. M. S. Ravager, howeVer. He was merely resolved to blow the convicts to the mis- chief, individually or collectively, if they tried on any tricks with his ship; and in the choicest of quarter-deck Eng- lish gave orders accordingly. One of the prisoners was working quite near to the dock side, and almost. in the track of one of the senitries from the Ravager. Though rather a refined person in appearance, the degradation of his csition by no means overâ€" whe'lme him with melancholy or distress. It may have been the con- sciousness of innocence that enabled him to whistle softly an airwhiich had served the street organs some seven years before, and enabled him to view with unconcern the close proximity of his fellowâ€"men. Perhaps be reflected that those aboard the Ravager were hordor~working prisoners than himself. and that he could afford them a trifle of pity. ' He did not disdain, moreover to take advantage of the situation inwhich he found himself; nor was his sensitive ness hurt by the silence of Tommy Atkins when he endeavored to engage that worthy in conversation. He was not discouraged by Tommy's dignity, and did not hesitate to try again when guard was changed late in the after- noon. and Private Robert Smith com- menced his monotonous sentry-go. As it happened, Private Smith was in- tensely interested and excited by the presence of the convicts. He had good reason to be so, for he remembered, with a vlvidness and horror that set him shuddering. how near he had been some eight years before to just such a degradation as these men were endur- ' .

But in one respect he id not alterifile remained staunch to asavage hatred against the man who had certainly brought ruin into his life, and by moundrelly insinuating manners and methods had also sent him into sur- roundings like unto those upon which he had gazed with such fascination ever unce the Ravager had been floated into flock.

It was so foolish to get into a; suite of such serious excttement over! the presence of a ruffian whose only in crown t" he demanded. destre was “a bit of tobacco." _ And he continued upon his march With a steadier and more confident tread. But, when. after again peeing for- ward, he once more came back towards his sentry-box, his mood was changed. A cloud was upon his face, and his brows were knit in a vain endeavor to recall some memory from the locked-up places within his mind. A repetition of the request had fallen upon his ears; but the ring of the man's veice_was louder than it had been. and stirred Private Smith strangely. He stood in his box gazing upon the stooping con- vict and striving to remember w ere he had heard such a. voice before; But he ransacked his mind in vain; at last. dismissing his effort to remember With a. rueful reflection that perchance the fellow was some old college chum who had fallen upon eVil days, or may be some old comradeâ€"in-arms who had come to grief. He inclined most to the latter impression; and, himself know- ing well the luxury of tobacco and the wretchedness of a solitary man Without it, his sympathies went keenly out to the ‘poor devil" who, but for the inter- position of a merciful Providence. might easily have been a felonvcomrade wrth himself. Though well knowmg also that he was running considerable risk by giving the precious weed to the con- not, he resolved to give just a little for the old-acquaintance sake which the man's voice vaguely suggested. It happened that he had in his pocket a cake of tobacco purchased for a trifle when the Ravager was on the \Vest Indian station. This he _cut into two pieces; observing as he did so that the convict was watching him furtivezy. \Vhen he resumed his limited parade he held oneiof these pieces in his left hand. and swerving so as to pass nearer the man, he loosened his hold of it. and it fell at the convict’s_feet. The man clutched at it with almost savage swiftness; and Private smith kept upon his way, congratulating hun- self on having done a kindly thing and on escaping detection. But the sight of the tobacco and the odor of it excited within the convmt a. furious covetousness. He had seen Private Smith return the second piece to‘his pocket, and he destred it With all the greed that was in his nature. That second piece he wouldhave. Private Smith was expecting a mut- tered word of thanks; but that was not what came when he once more strode ast the recipient of his precious gift. The convict shifted his posttton,everso slightly, yet sufficient to enable hunto ance over his shoulder Withan ugly cowl at the approaching soldier. “That other piece," he demanded, fiercely, "or I’ll split on you, by Heaven." Private Smith SLW his face clearly for the first time ; and at the sight his heart stood still for on instant and then coni- menced beating at a. madly furiousand painful speed. A flash of intensest hatred ran through his blood, for there was no longer any mystery about the man’s identity; and as he moved out of hearing of that now welltretmembemd voice, he cursed himself With the most savage fury for the folly which had once more placed him in the power of Louis Vaudois. _ His first belief was that. havung reâ€" cognized him. Louis Vaudms done this thing with the mere deSire .to misfortune down upon him. \Vhen, however, he presently recalled how altered in personal appearance he had become since that day when last he had seen Louis Vaudois. this fear cleared away, leaving only black hate So, he. decided, the bring within his soul. givin of the second piece of tobacco woul satisfy his once friend and enâ€" emy. He had nothing to fear or to lose beyond that! But he was reâ€" luctant to do this; it maddened him to think that Vaudois, under even such conditions, was able to overreach and compel him to an act he would of his own will leave undone. And yet there was apparently no othâ€" er course before him than to accede to the ruffian’s demands. He had ar- rived at this conclusion, and with a sav- age reluctance was preparing to subâ€" mit to the inevitable. when a thou ht flashed through his mind and set is pulses leaping with sudden hope of re- taliation. Would Louis Vaudois befool enouin to fall into the trap.’ That was the only question. _ I Swiftly he made his preparations; and then strode firmlyâ€"yet With pulses beating an excitement stronger than be- foreâ€"oncc again towards the convtct. As he advanced, Vaudois's face_ was turned towards him. with a ferociously threatening expreston. "Boxâ€" great-coatâ€" get the lot --r smart l" Private Smith jerked out. hoarsely as he passed. . He marched to the end of 'his parade. and there stood with his bod only half turned towards the sentr -)cx. But out of the tail of his eye e saw Vau- dois creping ctealthily in the _other direction.

Vaudois started and stared. “By Heaven you areâ€"-â€"" But a door closed between them, and the soldier heard no more. . Vaudois was punished. He was drafted to the heavy-labor gangs. and the much-desired ticket-of-leave had to be Worked for over again.

Some of tlic Points to lie Considered as They Come Into llsc. There are two different ways of Ilook- ing at motor carriagesâ€"the business Way and the pileusurable way, says the London Spectator. ‘L‘or the moment, at all events, it is the former that seems to have the greater future before it. Notwithstanding the immense exten- sion of railways, there are still large tracts of countryin which the sound of the passing engine is either not heard at all, or heard but very faintly. The slow-moving Wagon is still the only means of carrying goods to market. Here, if there be anything in venders’ assurances, is a fiend for the new indus- try which can be worked with great profit. Every kind of agricultural pro- duce will be heaped upon motor wagons, and that large item in the cost of form- ing Whiclh is concerned with the man~ agement and care of horses will be sup- Pressed. The motor wagon, or the motor which is to draw the wagon, will be loaded as opportunity offers, and then will] start for the distant town or station with no more outlay in labor than the wages of the man who sees that the power, whatever it is, is in working order, and that the machine itself is under proper guidance. In one point, however, the expecta- tions of farmers have been disappoint- ed. They used to fancy that the mot- ‘ 0: car, when it came, would carry be- hind it along train of loaded wagons. collected, perhaps, from half a. score of farms, and drawn as a very small] cost to each owner. For the present at ail-.1 events, this 'hope must remain unrea‘lr ized. The regu"ations of the local goV- ernment board apply only to motors "not used for the purpose of drawing more than one vehicle." The objcct of this limitation is obvious. One heavy wagon may be well under conâ€" trol of the man who is driving the mot- or; but half a dozen heavy wagons. ioosely coupled together, Would be like the unmanageable tail of a kite. They would spread over the road at differ- ent angles, and move with.- an impetus varying with their weight. The driver might have his attention fixed on some obstacle in front of him, and meanwhile some member of his unruly flock would be making itself into a worse obstacle in the rear. At the same time, the limi tation which this necessary provision wn‘ll place on the utility of the new inâ€" vention is exceedingly great. So long as a motor car can draw one vehicle the extension of the carrying industry to which many people have looked forward can not be realized. Each farmer must have his own motors in a. number de- termined by the: amount of produce he has to send to market. But what is mainly wanted in many parts of the country is a. co-operativo motorâ€"a motor which shall go about the villages and pick up a wagon here and a. cart there, and so put large farm- ers and. smallil farmers on a level in re- gard to the carriage of their goods: That this is impossibEe now we can quite see, but it may not be airways impossible. It may not, that is, be beyond the power of science to devise a kind of vehicle, or a mode of con ling vehicles together, which sham me. e it safe to attach many to the same motor, even on an ordinary road. There will be abundant stimuflius to the infiniiity of inventors in the large profits t t might be made by any one who can put an end to what is {or the moment an insuper- able difficulty. w~ ~ ~â€" EUGENIE'S FORTUNE. Ex-Emprem Eugenie, of France, re- cently sold some jewels, and a notice ran through the papers that‘she was in straitened financial circumstances. She will not starve, however, Napol- eon the Third left a tidy little nest-egg. ills "savings" amounted to over one hundred millions of dollars, invested in American. Russian, Prussian and Eng- :ish bonds, American railroad and Suez Canal shares. Not a cent of his for- =une was invested in French securities. jewels which the ex-Fknpress sold were so gorgeous that only royalty can rear them without appearing overâ€"os- tentatious, and the 84m,000 which the jeweler paid for them! has been added a the rest of the interest-bearing money. “'OMEN IN PUBLIC LIFE. The advocates of woman's suffrage will be surprised to see the grounds on which in the Nineteenth Century Mr. Charles Selby Oakley opposes the admision of women to parliamentary assemblies. Of course, if women are to vote for members of the House of Commons, they cannot be long barred out of those bodies; but Mr. Oakley inâ€" sists that to let them in would. be dangerous to the men and to the com- munity at Sarge. \Vhat is the source of this danger? The source is the influence exercised by woman over man, an influence so in- cessant, so egregious and so unescapâ€" able, that man, in selfâ€"defence and in order to, secure freedom of discumion, is compeil=led to shut her out from those council chambers wherein laws are made and administrative measures de- termined. According to Mr. Oakllsy there is and can be no such thing as bold and searching freedom of discus- sion in assemblies where men as well as women .ire'disputants. He recallils with a word. of approvalll Dr. Johnson's saying. that the influence of woman over man was so supereminent that the law had wisely deprived her of all the legal rights which could possibly be withheld from her. But how would this sexual influence be mischievously exercised where women took part in debates? Mr. Oakiley undertakes to show the harmqu effects of it in the mixed-discussion clubs, the Parish Councils, the Municipal Councils, and the Boards of Guardians of the Poor, to which women are already admissible in England. He contends that in mixed- discussion clubs the arguments of the women are not realin met andsnswer- ed; the men are conscious that the do not dissect. and answer them as t orâ€" Oughilb' 88 they can, or as they would answer their fellow men. “that one sees is simply another phase of the us- ual: social game; the mixed debating claim are like mixed lawn tennis; the real}. unapproachable "serve" does not get delivered by the man to the woman. not even to the profcmed lawn tennis playing woman. If the masculine serâ€" ver _has had a nice father and mother. has instincts prevent him from deliver-v mg it. In the matter of physical] rivâ€" {hi-1W, women are more ready to recog- nize this, but although in mixed .de- hating clubs precisely the same thing happens. it: is not so readily acknow- ledged by the sex. Now, why are not the feminine arguments fairly met and stoutliy answered? Because the man fears loss of favor. Theretaliation of fair argument he does not fear, DUt something also, something disturbing of socxal pleasantnesses to come. The consequence is that the women are apt to go prosing on with measui'eilcss be- lnef in themselves, innocent; of the sturdy interruption which would be ad- ministered to mares. Aside from the principals objection that truth is never thrashed out in this way, there is mis- chief even in this setltf-delusion cultivat- edin the females. It. leaves in them the sense that the thing which is not is, and this is a. sense to Which, as a sex, they are ai'iready prone. It leaves in them. moreover, a sense of having vanquish- ed males and left them behind, from which comfortable platform the females step forth to other and more practical conquests. . To sum up his paradoxical position Mr. Oakley maintains that the.radical relations of man to woman were setâ€" tled by nature long ago; that these are incompatible with an uncompromising sifting of truth in public debate; yet’ that this public debate, whether in the large field of legislation or in the lesser fields of parish and munici of councils, hospital boards, boards of ‘uardians of the Poor, and especially boards concern- ed with education, is of more import- ance to a nation than any other thing. What is here meant by the radical re- lations of man to woman? Mr.» Oakl- ley means that, provided we neglect the finer issues which are secondary re- sults and after-growths. the courtesy of man to woman, which always has been and always will be exhibited, is foundâ€" ed on the fear of retaliation in the event of discourtesy being shown; but it is a very different retaliation from that which man would apprehend from his fellow man. The retaliation in this case is, we repeat, the loss of favor, and the whole attitude of man toward woman is a request for favor. If to the New \Voman such talk as this seem antediluvian, Mr. Oakley would rejoin that the New \Voman, like the Old, can dispense favor, except, perhaps, that she wishes to be asked for it rather more frequently and more earnestly, and that she dispenses less. It results from this one-sided situation that, in discussion, woman within her womanly limits. speaks to man pretty much as she likes, and will continue to do so. She will continue to do so, whether Emperors or Presidents govern, and whatever he the limits of suffrage. She will do so, not as voter nor as nonâ€"voter, but as woman. There is no form of government which has not been al- ready tricd, and in every one the rela- tion of man to woman has been, from the woman's point of view, precisely the same; that, namely, of a deSpicable and cowardly tyrant, whose every toil has been undertaken for her sake, who has been rewarded by her smile and nbashed by her frown, and two-thirds of whose spoil, holy or unholy, she has not so much throw: upon her. .____._.._.____. appropriated as had PERFUME UNDER THE SKIN. The newest craze in France is to in- ject sweet-scented fluids under the skin. Of course, it is 01175; aristocratic ladies who do this. Like all other great inventions, this one was found out by accident. A lady who practiced inject- ing morphia under the skin put elit- tle essence of musk one day into the mixture of morphiu. Like the lady in the 01d nursery rhyme. "who wore rings on her fingers and bells on her toes, and who made musxc erever she goes," this lady sweetly perfumed the whole atmosphere. But so valuable an invention could not lon be kept secret. The maid had an e e 0 business, and in a few weeks a su utanecus perfume syringe was to be found on every Parisian toilet table. PERTAINING TO PINfi There is mostly a woman living who does not use the common and every- day pin every day. more or less, but few: however. ever think how it is made. To complete a pin it has to go through many hands before it is ready for the consumer. It is a very delicate arti~ ole to handle. and the cost of building the machines to make it is the great- est outlay. The wire from which these pins are manufactured is specially pre- pared, and comes to the factory on large feels very much like gigantic cotton spools. '. The wire is first turned through eight or ten little mapper rollers. This is to get all the bend and kink out of it; in other words, to straighten it perfectly. After this preliminary operation is completed it is once more wound on a very large reel, which is attached to the machine which makes the pins. One of thwe machines makes on an aver- age 8,090 pins an hour, and some large factories will often have thirty orforty machines at work at one time. After the pins are released from the grip of this machine they are given a bath of sulphuric acid. This removes all the grease and dirt from them. They are then placed in ii tub or bar- rel of sawdust. Pins and sawdust are next taken together from the barrel and allowed to fall in e. steady stream through a strong air blast, which separates the sawdust from the pins. But as yet they are pointless, and pins Without points would not be of much use“ In order to point them they are carried on an endless grooved belt, which passes a set of rapidly movmgi files. This points them roughly, and afâ€" ter being passed between two grinding wheels and forced against a. rapidly movmg band faced Wlth. emer cloth they are dipped in a polishing tu of oil. - This latter is a lar're, slowly revolving copper-lined tub, w 'clh is tilted at an' angle of about 45 degrees. As this re- volves the points keep sliding down the smooth copper to the lower side. and cwm'g to the constant friction against the copper and each other receive a brilliant polish and finish. They 0 next to the sticker. where they fal from a. hopper on an inclined plane. in which are a number of slits. The pins catch in these slits, and, hung- ing by their heads, slide down irito an apparatus which inserts them in the paper. This‘manliine ispcrha s the most ingenious of all the beauti 111 and complicated contrivanoes that help to make and manipulate the pin. It does all this at the rate. of 100,000 pins an hour and yet a. single bent or damaged in will cause it to stop feeding until he attendant removes the offender. The pins are then stuck into the paper by the machine, which is usually operated by askilled girl, and then they are ready for shipment, to all parts of the civilized world, where the common, but necessary, pin is a factor. _.__.- ___o.~__â€"_â€" H‘A'NDSOME TROUSSEAU. The dress in Which the Princess enâ€" tered Rome was darkâ€"green velvet, trimmed with sprays of red and white filowers, which also trimmed the richly embroidered collars. The colors re- presented the national colors of Italy. The Princess’s wedding gown was of heavy ivory-white satin, the skirt quite plain, with a. broad band of silver em- broidery and orange blossoms around the foot. Over this fell a court train four meters long of white brocade, em- brotdered with large bunches of mar- guerites and surrounded with a heavy ruche ornamented at intervals with sprays of orange blossoms. The veil, a. present from Queen Marg- herita, who took it from her famous collection, was of Venetian lace, and formerly belonged to Caterina Cornaro. One very handsome (from the Crown Princess has is of gold-colored silk with rich silver embroidery, and another is of apple green with old-gold embroid- ery. In the bodice of the gold-colored costume are rose-colored carnations, and in the green one curiously shaped green orchids.
