These messages . were found in note books and on scraps of paper on the dead bodies of the poor men when they were at last recovered. The manuscript copies of these touchii g note-s were made in Cornwall by a relative of the old miner, and were BdLb to him shortly after the disaster. They are in. tcresting, outside of their pathos; as answering the frequently asked question: How do men feel when about to diknot after being wasted and weakened by dis- ease, or when the blood is heated by the strife of battle, but when they see inevit- able death slowly but certainly approaih- ing them, and know that in exactly so many minutes it will seize upon them? Do they rage and struggle against their fate, or do they meet it; with calmness and resignation ? These messages show that the poor miners awaited the coming of death with singular calmness and resigna- tion. not one word in the whole record reveals a feeling of bitterness against the fate they could not avert. There is a. curious pa‘hos in some of the lines scrawled by some of these death- besiegcd men in the gloom of their nar- row prison. A young man, Janelz by name, had pinned to his coat a loaf from a note book. On it were written his last words to his sweetheart: “Darling Rika: -My last thought was of thee.

For what seemed to her an immense time she paced'up and dovvn her room, wondering each momentvhetlier George had gone away ; at last, when she felt sure he -ertainly musthavo gone she went close 10 the window again. ' "George," she said in a clear whisper, “ on you there? " “ Of course I am,” was the immediate answer. And I feel quite good now, like the child that's been put in a corner. 1 should like to see you again very much.” At this Floss very slowly came within his view, and smiled upon him with that rare and wonderful smile which is only possible on the lips of a woman who is in love, and for the man she loves. It had hidden in it a hundnd suggestions, a world of sweet. fancies, of which. Floss herself was not conscious, though they lay within her heart ready to be awakened. “Great Heaven, Floss," exclaimed George," they must be mud to doubt you I it seems incredible that flea therbloom can have hubunred a thought. against you for a moment. To look at you is a stifli- cent answer. Now I will give you my progrvmme, dear, so far as it is formed.

If that fails. tomorrow I l meantime, it seemed utterly absurd that lovely Floss should spoil her eyes with crying and lose her colour for want of fresh air, and her spiiits for want of amusementâ€"and George’s societyâ€"just because of a ridiculous affair like this 1 He had arrived at this conclusion, and quite made up his mind to get a ladder somehow or other and put it against Ficss’s window *ho very next night in order to carry her (if, when somebody appeared on the scene. At the further end of the road, looming large in the while morning mis‘, appeared a figure, very vague at first, but ulii~ mately resolving itself into a man carry- ing a long 'vi'and. The disappearance of the lights all down the street as be ap- proached showed this to be the lamp-ex- tinguisher. It was the first time that. it had ever occurred to George that lamps had. to be put out as well as lighted. Naturally at this time of the year the'gas was extinguished very early in the morn- ing ; naturally also, as is suddenly struck George, this identical man must come down this road every morning at this hour. If he were too late to see the diamond-thief steal out of the Heather- bloom mansion, yet he would have been about in time to see her return. George woke up and got out his cigar-case. As the lamp-lighter approached him he was searching all his pockets; he had deter- mined to adopt a very old expedient for opening a conversation. Although his matches were in his accustomed pocket his fingers refused to find them. As the man passed, he asked him for alight; the lamp-lighter brought out his matches, and then George offerch him a cigar. This was a very successful atopâ€"fortun- ately for George‘s purposes. ' The man lighted the cigar, snl paused a few mo- ments to talk; then, as he moved on down the road, George accompanied him. As a rule, the lamp-lighter hurries along with therapid, inelegant movement of one who walks of necessity and for no pleasure of his own; but, under the soothing influence of an unexpected cigar and George's genial manner, the man slackened his speed and went slowly down the road from lamp to lamp. “ :is very unusual to meet any one here at this time '1? ” George ventured at last. “ I don’t see any body once in a year, sir. at this hour of the morning; now and again I meet a carriage ccming home from a party, but never any one on foot." They were getting down to the end of the road, and the man showed signs of 'putting on the speed again and leaving his new a quaintance behind, so George determined to make a bold stroke. “ Step I bit." he said; “I want to speak to you.

The cultivated stomach appreciates conrr ~ts and harmonics in taste as keenly w d a the cultivated eye or car in colt“ f” ‘cound ; and it is us much jarred c i.=e.rranged by inliar- monious tastes .a either eye or ear by inharmonious -ights or sounds. Food is an important factor in the solution of the problem ofhuman destiny. The man- ner of men and woman we are depends greatly upon the nature of our diet. Our thoughts and acts are enmnations of ti 0 things we eat and drink. The food we consume contains the principles cide- formityâ€"health or disease, life or death ; and has apositive qualify for good or evil, in shaping our character, habits and disposition. Personal purity, physical stamina and mental vigor are the perfect products of a rich home life. But to yield such results its formation must be embedded upon both msthetic and hy- picnic laws. Neither alone is eufiiiient They must supplement and aid each other. No department of the home must be consideredinferlor or subservient to any other department. Each must har- monize with the other, and the kitchen tank with the parlor in neatncss and dig- nity if not in attractiveness and splendor. And if the girls who are to be the fu- tum wives and mothers of our country will qualify themselves to conduct and govern in a successful manner, the house- hold over which they are destined to preside, the reign of slovuily, domestic ignorance underwhich we now groan and suffer, will be superseded by one of or- derly intelligence. Austrian Anarchists. There isa veritable reign of terror in Vienna in consequence of the rigorous measures which the Austrian Government has deemed necessary to adopt for the re- prcssion of anarchism. Hundreds of po- litical spies have lately been added to the police force. Most of these spies are political adventurers, who are without a trace of conscience or principle, and many of whom are themselves familiar with the interior of prisons in Austria, France, and Germany. They are loyal to the Gov- ernment by which they are employed if they can more more money by betraying a political offender than by blackniailing him. No one is safe from their wines- lions, and people have became fimoruus about discussing political affairs even with intimate friends. The Government has determined, if possible, to extirpnte Anarchism from the Empire before it has become more deeply rooted. To this cud en- ormous sums of money are being spent on the secret service, and the trials and punishments of accused persons are swift and severe. Au alleged Anarchist nam- ed Thilman was tried on a charge of cir- culaiingpainphletsincitingtosssassination “ Lord l and the destruction of public property by up . . The trial was conducted with l Roiche, according to the old Scranton miner, who seems to how the histories of all the unfortunate Saxon miners at. his tonguo’a (nd, was a severe man, and though just to his sister, who was his only relative, gave her no liberties. The thought that he had not done right evi- dently haunted him in his death hour. The absence of all selfishness, all- ropin- iiigs on accouat of themselves, is touch- 11”»le apparrnt in all the messages. “My dear relatives,” wrote the minor Schmidt, “while seeing death before me I remember you. Farewell until we meet again in happiness.” Lying next to young Jenefz, whose message to his sweetheart is quoted above, a miner named Morefz was found. On apaper in his cap was written: “Janefz has just died. Richer is dying and says, ‘l‘ell my family I leave them with God.’ Fare- well, dear wife. Farewell dear children. May God keep you.“ The miners who died by suffocation had evidently been driven from one place to another, accord- ing to the following, fot'ind in the note book of a minernnmed Bahr: “This is the lastplace where we have taken re- fuge. I have given up all hope, because the ventilation has been destroyed in three separate pieces. May God take myself and relatives. and dear friends who must die with mo, as well as our families, under his protection." “Dear wife," writes Muller, “take good care'of Mary. In a book in the bedroom you will find a thaler. Farewell, dear mother, till we meet again.” Mary was the minei’s only child, who was blind. A miner named Jaime or Jaehn wrote to his brother, who was a miner, but had been unable to work that day: “Thank Gigi for his goodness, brother. You are as c.” “No more foil in darkness,” wrote an- other The uniform spirit of piety that mark- ed all the messages of the dying men was explained by the custodian of these touching records. He said the miners of Saxony are all reared in a strict religious school, and that on entering the mines they all petition Heaven for protection through the day, and on leaving the mines return thanks to God for guarding them and fringing them safely through the dangers of their toil. “I never read the simple messages of those poor men without moisleued eyes," said the old miner, and his eyes were oer- tair.ly more than moist as he spoke. “I can picture to myself the scene of the rougl;»handcd but soft-hearted man, spending their last moments not in wild cries for mercy and screams of runorse, nor in rapinings against their cruel fate, but in sending thus farewell messages to their loved ones, who were even then be- wailing them as dead. While my heart bleeds over the picture, I thank God that, humble miners though they were, they showed the world how bravely and nobly they could die. -â€"â€"-.¢O<-.->OO~â€"-â€"- .1 Devil Fish One Hundred Feet Long.

The clerks at Moses Rsbbonsfoin’s were making up a box of old cloihos to give to a. certain poor mission. “I'll put in a coat ” said one. “I’ll put in a pair of shoes," said another. “ I'll put in ll pair of pants,” said a third. Finally they reached Moses. “ What will you put in, Mr. Rabbvnstcin l" asked the book-keep- er. “Vell, poys, dimes ish pooty hart vid mu, unt eef eel; ish all (let some to you, Ill yoosh pud in der bill.” ‘There is a story of a man who was tried for stealing a pair of trouseis. Ho was ably defended, and the jury brought in a verdict; of not guilty. The prisoner’s counsel collected his foe, and than said to tho vindicated statesman : “ Well, get out. You‘re free.” “I’ll wait till he goes," returned the viciim of slander, pointing to the plaintiff. “ I don’t want him to aeo mo.” “ Why not?" “ ’Cause l've got them breaches on.” Spanish Grandccs. The grandees of Spain have the privi- lege of being covered in their King's presence. The custom is a survival of the manners of the old days, when the sovereign was regarded as the first among equals. “ We, your (quelc, choose you to reign over us," was the ancient for- mula used by the Spanish nobles at the coronation of their monarch. .‘Formerly all the grandcos wore their hate when standing before the King, but the caste spirit crept in and divided th in into three classes, distinguished by die but etiquette. The first class entered the royal presence with their hats on. The se‘ond class went in uncovered, and after advancing a few steps, put their huts on, unbidden by the King. The third class also entered uncovered, but did not put. their liafs on until the King asked them to be covered. Then they Were all equal. The Cortes made the Duke of Welling- ton a grandee of Spain, and give him an an estate as a token of gratitude for his services iii'releasinz the nation from the French yoke. When Ferdinand VI I, after the expulsion of the French, return- cd to Madrid, he show-rd himself, on one! occasion, to the people from the balcmy of the palace. The King's suite and Wellington remained in the mom behind but. the people called for the Duke, and he came forward barchcaded. “ Put on your hat !" said fh: King. The Duke, however, influenced by tho English custom, hesitated to stand cover ed in the face of the pLOPlL‘. “ You are a grandee of the first class, whispered the King's suite, “ and ought not to be uncovered." Then the Duke put on his hat. All classes in Spain are noted for the punctiliousness With which they heed the slightest demand of etiquette.
