The late Empreaa Maria Anna of Aoatria beqoeathed a rare and valaabia lei^aoy to the treaanry of the Dom of Prague, oonf iating of a magnificent boaqnet of thirteen golden roaea in a golden vate of old Roman work- manahip.

Tne special duty of tais new body of men « ill be the laying of mines under water for purposes of coast defence. Recruits for this new branch of the service are drawn mainly from the fishing districts. No lesj than three vessels are undergoing alterations to fit them for the work. The Gi*^y of Brussels proposes to try the experiment of using electricity to drive its street cars. One line^that of the Rue de la Loi â€" is to be equipped with motors, and separate accounts are to be kept, in order to ascertain definitely the cost of the ruiming, as compared with the use of horses. The test is to last for one year, and then, should the result warrant it, electricity will be em- ployed exclusively on the street railways of Brussels. The French Senatorial Commitcee ou Pe- titiona has unanimously decided on recom- mending the Government to take steps for the suppression of the Monte Citflo soandaJ, as urged by an influential Uiviers memorial. The movement against the gaming tables has had the effect of holding m abeyance a scheme for converting the concern into a company, with a capital cf $12,000,000, which sum was to be extra sted mainly from French investors. A workman fell over the wall of one of the bear-pits in the Jardin d( s Piantes, P.»ris. and lay usensible with a bleeding vound in his head. The visitors at once tried to divert the attention of the beaia by throwinr pieces of bread amoog them, but one of the beasts walked leisurely tj the wounded man and began to lick up hid blood. Amid in teiue excitemeht the keepers arrived, threw a rope into the pit, and tried to drive the bear off by punchiog him with sticks. Hap- pily the injured man meanwhile had regain- ed his senses, and presently clutched the rcpe and was drawn alo t, much to tbe ir- ritation of the beast, which made no effort to conceal his disappointment. There died recently in a miserable lodging in Strasburc;, Germany, an old man who had valuables to tae extent of $600 GOO wrapped np in his pocket, yet was unable to spend any of it fcr his comfort. It was the dia- mond belonging to Qne^u Victoria, and valued at that sum, ti uicn was stolen from a jewelhr's shop in London in 1866, and the jewel was so well known tba^ be dared not offer it ior sale. He confessed himself the thief. This is a rare exception which marks the rule that a man must steal large amounts if he would escape tbe terrors of the law. The skirmishing drill of the Third D.a- goons and Fifteenth Hussars intherectnt London tournament is regarded as an idea which may have important developments. Both regiments have practised, though in different vcays, the principles of Rarey, and applied them to an object never dreamt of before. The troopers have trained their horses to lie down and remain in that posi- tion, even when volleys are fired over tbem. At a signal they rise, man and horse to- gether, ready to gallop cff without a mo- ment's pause. A dczen men and horses may thus lie hidden behind a bank, cr in ambush, until tbe nnsusprcting enemy ccmcs within fifty yards. In a recent speech Cardinal Manning re- marked that he was looking with much anxiety at the changes that were' going on in his country. There was a time when the master and the man lived on the estate, and dif- ferently to what they did now. There was a time when pa'riarchal care, feeling of hu- man sympathy, of human happiness and of human service prevailed. Them had, nowa* days, grown np a new worldâ€" a world ot money, cf commerce, of manufacture, and a relationship between master and man that, unlike that of the time past, was not one of sympathy, or benevolence, or patriarchal care, but a relationship of so many shillings per week, paid on the Friday or Saturday. It would M well if this relationship, even in a degree of confidence, affection, and service, ooula be restored. A scheme to make up the deficiency in tie French budget is that of a decrease in civil service salaries. In this event the minor ofiScials would be well nigh pauperized, un- less possessed of private means. In the ministries, and at the Hotel de Yillr, a bachelor of arts, on whose education his family have spent about $2,000, begins at sixty cents a day. If he manages to pass the examination and has a litils influence besides, he often reaches to $300 per annum, from which is to be deducted a 'inall sum for a provident fund. A Post Office clerk, when not on duty in answering imbecile questicna from the most ignorant public in the woild in all that relates to practical matters, has to sort and to stamp something like 1,500 or 2,000 letUrs per day. In Paris he has the magnificent salary of between $450 and $600. There are over 1.000 public libraries in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, twenty of which certain more than 100,000 volumes. In Great B -itain there arc only nine that contain 100 000 volumes, and in France six. ' Spain has, t'l told, 30 public lilwaries, con- taining 700.000 volumes, of which 220.000 are in the library at Madrid, The library at Washington contains 513,000 volumes and 170 000 punphleta, and there are but five larger libraries in the world The French National lihraiy. with 2.300 000 volumes the British Museom, with l.fiOO.000; the Boyal library at St Petersbnrg, with 1 000.- 000 that at Maoich. witb 900.000. and taat ^t Balia witb 750.000 bbcka. Mr. Edgar Vincent, the brother of How- ard YiBOBDt. the reeentiy retifed ohiet of the London Detective DepMtnwnt, is Wg^* ed as the handaoaaeat nan in England. He is six feet three inohea in height and of splendid praportiooa.

Tne father of tiie Vincenta. Sir Frodenok. is a clergyman of the Chnrjh of Engianfi. Mr. Vrignot, a smart young Parisian thief, finding himaelf discovered ^otnm- tent on lead atealing, promptly entered a house by a sklight and requeated a yoang work woman at her aewing mactiae to eave him. ' ' I'll ait here and peel theae potetOM, and when the police come they will conclude that I am your lover." At thU interesting juncture the police came, and one collared nim oa " tpec," exc' aiming, " Got jon at last, my boy." "You hear, my pet," sMd Vrignot; "these gentlemen mistake me for some other fellow." Miss Melaine, however, who was not fascinated with her impromptu adorer, maintained an ominous silenc3, and the would-be lover was led off to jaiL The Russian cemetery at Sabastopol would be considered a handsome necropolis any- where. The men are laid away in batches in great graves, but the officers lie in separ- ate ones. The tombs in many instances are veritable mcnnmenta. Among them are a column and bust over the remains of Prince Gcrtcbakoff, Commander ia Chief of the Russian forces in the Crimea, who died in Warsaw in 1861, but who ' desired to be buried amid those defenders of their country who did not permit the enemy to enter their fatherland further than where their graves stand." Bat the most conspicuous object in the cemetery is a magnificent memorial chapel of granits, marble, and bronza, in the form of a pyramid, over 100 feet high, the walls of which, inside and oat, are covered with the name^ o! all who took part in the defence of Sebastopol and for whom pi ayers are daily offered up. Stay on the Farm. The disposition of so many young men to leave the farm and come to the city is not creditable to their intelligencs. Every city in the country is overcrowded with this class of helpless young men. They grow up on the farms with no idea of the trials and temptations that beset their class in the large cities. They think they caa live in the cities without the trial and drudgery they say is a part of farm life. There are many ways of living in a city, but there ia but one honorable way, aad that ia sur- mounted with as many trials and hardships as earning one's living en the farm, and that is, to earn it honestly. A young man without a trade will find he has to work harder to make bo'^^h ends meet in the city than on a farm. Tae young man wi:o thinks the woild owes him a living and that the obliga- tion will be cancelled in the cities, makes a mistake that is often learned too late. There is EO more r.3om for idlers in the city than ou the farm. The criminal clasa receives some of its most vicious recruits from young men who thought they were too smart to be farmers, coma to the city, found they had made a mistake, droppsd into bad company, and will end their lives on the scaffold or in the psnitentiary. No. young man, you are not too smart for tLe farm. The smartest man tla" ever lived hadn't sense enough to reach perfec- tion in farming. Be independent- Wbile there is always souiething to do on a well- regulated farm, if jou have a leisure mo- ment, me it in study or selling the many kinds of goods you will find mat are es- pecially made for, your benefit. You can always find something to do if you want to work. If yoa don't, we have no time to reason with von. An Egyptian Breakfastt We went to breakfast with Princess Man seur.the Khedive's sister. The meal was of a moatelaborate description,consisting of many courses' and partaking more of the charac- ter of a dinner than a breakfast, or rather dejtuner. The dining-room was luxuriously f urcished. In the centre was a large circu- lar velvet carpet, embroidered with gold, on which stco i an octangular table, covered with an embroidered velvet cloth, on which the breakfast service, including napkins \corked with gold thread, was arranged in the EuTopaan fashion, a vacant place being lefc in the middle for the silver plateaux containng tbe anccess.ve courses. As af- fording some idea of^the resources of Gji ens culinary art, it may perhaps bd mentioned that we were offered in the following order soup, rcast turkey, calves' heal stuffed with forcemeat, pillau of rice and raisins, macar- oni cheese, kabob» of mutton on skewers, asparagus a la'hyUe, pan:akes, cream rice tut, pastry and jam, milk of almonds in a bowl, with pistachio nuts, eatfn with tor- toise-shell spoons, and cheese, followed by dessert, with ices and little cakes, and end- in;; with coffee, which was served in anotber r.o-n. Oa tbe table itself were severil varieties of hors d'cBuvre, srch as anchovies, olives, potted meats, a sort of bitter white S;iaoe, and clotted cream. Ciampatnie and other wines were handed round. The party (OGsisted cf eight parscn. aud the entire meal was served within 40 minatea remarkably, quick work. considering the length of the mtnu Eich guest wai pro- vided with a beactiiully embroidered Turk- ish to^el, and water was brought to us in large silver basins after dinner to wash our hands in. If woman's dress does not sensibly ap- proximate to man's, in spite of reformers' efforts, the names of ite component parts do Wbat with "ladies'" "coats," "verte," and "pants," the most sensitive inodesty cannot be offended. It is a pity dry-goods t tores will not extend this regard for womw'a feel* ings far enough to pul female clerks on their counters of "ladies' "underclothing. Wo- men resent deeply the having to inquire about the fit and e{mdition of such articles from nude clerks and yet many stores which employ girls in other dep«tmenta pick out yoDOg men for there, and women trade there because they must. It would pay the ones which have girls at these to advertise tlMiaet freely. "teseto Tfee Kiw ar Caak«dla aaA Us FMpto* M.

The women are allowed to go out, and, by one of those strange carprioes commjn eningl among the monarohs of the E»st, who are by ttirns cruel and paternal, they are a low- ed to marry, the King giving up aU h« claims at the request of the lovers. But, on the other hand, any attempt to enter the sacrad harem surrpptitionsly is punuhod with the utmost severity. The first time I visited Cambooii, a young bonze, in high faver at the court, was discovered fl rting with one of the prettiest wives of Norodom. The latter, according to the usual oustom, ordered the two lovers to be buried alive. The accused, however, escaped the pnmsh- ment through the intervention of the old queen mother, who is a zealous Buddhist devotee. Sines, that tiaae it appears that the fair sex have not become wiser, but their punishment has been changed. On return- ing from our expedition, the King, who had come to visit the chief of the French pro- tectorate, asked for some deteils as to the European method of executing, or rather shooting, criminals. M. Maura, without attachmg much imp rtanca to the question, gratified his Maj-: sty's curioaity. But what was oui astonishment when two bouts after- terward we learned that four young women the har m had been shot in the European military style, and their heads taken off and hung up for the encouragement of the other ladie* of the household. "Tbe King received us cordially, and promised to faoilitote to the utmost of his ability our arcbsologioal researches. After- ward he asked for one of our doctors. He was lamed by a recent fall, and ii is an aiticle of faith in Cambodia that an infirm or lame king is unfit to govern. He told us in confidenoa that he was obliged, m confor- mity with the superstitious cnatoms of his subjeota, to consult innnmerable quacks, astrologers, and divinerd. None ot them waa able to cure him, and all agreed in im- puting to evil spirits the persistence of his trouble. Oar doctor immeliateiy placed himkelf at The dicpositio i of his Majesty. Ceremony required that the august invalid could only be examined through the inter- mediary of one of his wives, hut the doctor convinced him of the insufficiency of this method, and a close examination of the hurt was made and the remedies applied. " Oa goiag out of the palace we found at the door a group of bonzea on their knees, praying for the recovery of the King. Oshsrs were going through the streets chaut- ing and singiagpialmi. Public pr^tyer had been ordeiel throughout the kirglom. Around the pagodas and in frcnt ot every house tall bamloo canes were placed and dressed with ribbons of various colors. Bi side, the statues of Buddha, at the cross roads and in the interior of the Chinese dwellings, odoriferous torches were kept burning. Trade was suspanded. Tbe p'^ople appeared outdoors in their holiday costumes. In the evening and late at night the streets were filled with people curying torches or lau- terns. The sounds of the g .ng and of the tam-tam were mixed with che constant de- tonations of fire crackers, and the sky was continually streaked with rockete, whose explts'oos and brilliancy were intended to drive away the bad spirits that were bent on tormenting the sovereign. " The next day we met a sort of cortege, composed of about twenty natives, who were marching in file, and before whom the crowd of people opened a passage with great re- spect. This was the escort of the little son of Norodom, who was out ior an airing. The child was seated upon the shoulder of a little dignitery of the court. A servant walked behind and shaded him with a para- sol. This royal baby was dressed in a silk gown of a brilliant color. He wore a neck- lace and bracelete, and on his ankles wer^ rings of gold. His hair was shaved, with the exception of a little topknot ourefully rolled up on the summit of his sknl and tnis was surmounted by one of those white jasmine flowers whose sweet perfume the women here prize highly, and they g!adly make of* ferings of it on the altars of Buddha. " CLIFF DWELLEBS. The Bemalaa ol Anetent Raeea in Arl Ar;z)na has a history which has never been written, says a letter to the San Franoisoo Chronicle. It is only told by the empty ir- rigating canals, the ruins of populous towns, vacant cliff dwelUngs, inscribed rooks, and broken pottery found in many parts of the territory. Before the European saw this confcn-rnt two races had lived and died in Arizota. The earliest people built their houses m valleys that are now deep ravines and the iliff dwellinga that are ssen ti-day TMtiag in the sides ot deep arroyos two hun- dred feet above the bottom of the gjrge once stood upon solid ground, aud ytt so many years have elapsed sine j then that now the houses are high and dry and acoesaihle only to hardy climbers. T me has dug away the foundations as wtll as Bcairjd and chip- ped the habitatioas. Bitween the age of the cliff dwellers and tiat of the white man come the race who built the canals and farm- ed tae.valleys. D.y and Jiarched aud barren as a great part of Arizona is to day, there was a tame, of which abundant proof existe. when the yaUeys were rich and fertUe and when great cities were populated by an active capable, and energetic people.
