Cuicaco, March 8, 17S. Jessie E ML CREMATION AS A CURE. Gincinnatt Saturday Night. Mrs. Boggs had been under the weather for wwo or three days. At least she said she was, but these attacks came rather frequentiy, *Borgs thought, for when his wife was having pne of her spells be had to cook the meals and 4o all the housework. We don’t remember the particular state the weather was in this last time, but Mrs. Boges was under it, and she was ander it very bad. Shecven told Bozgs that she didn’t believe she was ever going to get up out of it, and she made a hysterical request that e bury her in some sunny spot where the birds might come and sing to her, and she made him promise thut he would bricg fowers once a weck and scatter them over her grave. A dozen 1imes that day was Bogus calied from his work in the kitchen to bid a last farewell to his dying wife, but still she lingered. Ile had been through this experience a great many times be- fore, 50 he wasu's £0 much alarmed a5 he migat otherwisc have been. Thst night as he sat watcbing, like the afce- tionate husband he was, at her bedside, she saw that he was deeply engrossed in a book. “What book are you reading, dear?” she famtly asked. A railrond euide, my love,” was the reply. «iVhat do you want with a railroad guide ] want to see how far it is to Washington, Pa., and how the trains run,” said Mr. Boggs. She would have asked him what he had to do with Wasbington, Pa., but he ot up and went out and she fell into a doze, the indination to which sbe didn’t care to repress, even thoush it delayed the final departure that ebe had so often prated about. When she awoke she saw Bogzs bendivz over her with a canale. He evidently hadn't observed that she was awake, s0, closmg her eves, she feirned sicep, and overheard the foilowing soliloguy, which suf- ficiently explained to her how thoroughly awakened ecnscs his inquiry of tie railroad ide about the route to WWashington, P: Solendid subject for cremation,—a hittle scrag- ¥y (Mrs. Boxes’ fingers worked nervously under she bedelotties, and she had hard work to keep Irom fiying at him), but the scraxgy ones incin- srate guicker than ihe fat ones. the Doctor says.

THE CORSET. Louistille Courier-Journal. ‘The corset bad its origin in Italy, and was in- troduced from that country into France by Catberinc de Medicls. Mary Stuart and Diane de Poitiers did not, howerver, follow thz fashion, ‘but it was at once admitted oy all the Iadies of ibe French Court that it was indispensable to the beauty of the female fizure, and was, there- fore,"adopted by Yhem.” The' corsét was, how- ever, in those days in its infancy, and it as- sumed more of the tough charucterof a knight’s cuirass. The frame was entirely formed of iron, and the velvet which decorated the exte- rior hid a frightful and cumbersome machine. This state of things, so detrimental_to health, and the cause of 50 much personal inconven- ience, not to say torture, could not last long, and the artisaus of those days contrived 1o yive more pliability and hirhtuess to the metal, and prepared thé way Uy degrees for whalchone.

The corset found favor in the cyes of Lonis XiV. In the follow- g reizn the corset was threatened with ban- isbment from the toflet. Fashion took a rural and simple turn, and was almost guided by the pencil of Boucher, in whose pictures many of the Court celebritics figured as sheoherds and shepberdesses. But, when the painter departed, tashion returned to the prim eccentricities of former times.

Denter (Col.) Tribune. The following occurred on the Atchisom, Topeka & Santa Fe Road: A gentleman trav- ehug between Pueblo and Kausas City was en- aged in conversation by a very intellizent but rough looking miner, who had been for four years zu auriferous adventurer in the San Juan vountry, and who had “struck it rich.” He made no secret of the fact tuat his visit toa certain town ia Michiran was for the purposc ol marryving the girl he left behind him,” for wiwse future comfort he had buiit and furnished a house high up among the snow-capped mount- s of Colorado.

AN ALASK MANCE. _ Purttnd Transcript. A younz man who was in Alaska some four years ago fell in love with the ouly young lady on the island, a girl ot 15, who possessed of extraordinary beauty, aud whose Lair fell pelow her knees. But he was unable to communicate the “old, old story™ to her, for she did nov understand a word of English, nor did he speak Liussian. In his dilemma the arrival of the priest on his once-fn-two years visit was a rod- send, and to him he made known his love. ‘The priest, knowing the young man to be possessed of a high character and a fair furtune, thouzht it was a lucky chance for the young lady to cape from a life of such jsolaiion, and he \nfiliuzly persuaded the girl’s mother (ber father was dead) to consent to the mateb, but the young lady herself was not to be persuaded. She argued that she had never spoken to the young man who expressed sucha desire to be her husband, and oniy seen him twice, and he lad beew on the island onlv fortv- cirlit'days, but ber objections were overruled, and the marriage took place. After living in Alaska for several months, the young man brought his bride to his home in Cleveland, O. She was astonished at the fashions she saw, and declared that nothing would induce ber to wear Ther hair otherwise than flowine—as she bad al- ways worn it. But before twenty-four hours liad passed her mother-iu-law had persuaded lier to try the effect of braids around her broad and shapely bead; and now she dresses as much in the fasition as any lady & nd. Last year her husband went to Alaska agail ‘brourhc home the youns sister, who is 11 years of age, and promisesto be as beautiful as the clder. The mother, berett of both ber cluldren, still clings to her home on one of the islands of Alaska. A JUDICLAL CONUNDRUM. Albany I'ress.

AAbptetons’ Journal fur Mo There comes a time to the sea-city when the heaviness of midwinter vanishes from the hearts of the people, and in its stead appears a budding hope, like o dim intuition of the ap- proach of spring. The impressionable Venetian nature reveals in its external shows the emo- tious that are at work under the surface of the city’s life. Thus tne burst of triumph at the departure of the winter, which has not yet given place to the tender silenee of the spring, fiuds its symhol in the mirth and riot of the carnival, The fishermen who toil in storm and wind out upon the treacherous lazouns deny themselves their daily share of poleata in order that they may spend more frecly in carnival. The women, strmng beads in the doorways, work faster as the merry time approaches, that the children may have at least one treat of panna and frit- ‘Thie wirls, sewing in dark back-rooms, toil s far into the night for the sake of the one day’s masking with ther jovers.

For them life is less real than the dreams of the old market-nlaces and cathe- drals of their homes. ‘The Venctians jostle them in the crowds and laush at their poor finery; and they, all unconscious, smile in a forlorn, lost fashion, and wander on as thosc who fecl that tne world hasleft them behind forever. ¢ crowd strolls on, day afcer day, along the proad path by the side of the lazoon, where wooden booths have buen erected, with -gray o ing from tneir roofs. — Flari pictures lean agaiust the boarded fronts: saints performinz miraculous cures; wild bezsis de- urine their keepers.

New York Times. The biography of the two famous men who have immortalized the title of Gortschakofl is virtually the lustory of Russia for the last seveuty years: for it would be hard to name any prominent event during that period with which the one in his military, or the other in his civil, capacity, has not been in some way connccted. The elder of the two, Peter Dimitriviteh, born in 178D, entered the army as a mere boy, just. in time to receive his baptism of fire *‘at the terrible battle of Eylau, when 25,000 Russians an®30,000 French Iaystrewn over the greatwaste of snow between Preuissisch-Eylau aud Serpalten. A few months ater, he was bresent atthe sanguinary repulse of Napoleou's attack on the intreached camp of Teilsberz, where his uncle and namesake, com- manding the Russian right, bore_the brunt of the battle. Afier the peace of Tilsit, in 1507, e was transferred to the army of the North, and took part in thelast battles of Fiunish independenve. Still unwearied of active service, he exchanged into the Army of the Davube, and served on KutuzofI'sstafl during the memoral sicze of Rustchuk in 1811, when 18,000 Turks, left unsheltered on a swampy island, almost without food, and cannouaded incessanily from Dot banks of the river, held out stubbornly ill more than half their number bad perished. “I'he creat crisis of 1812 reealled the Danube army to nobler work; and Prince Gortsehakoil reached the Beresina just in time to witness all the horrors of that wemorable passage, which compressed whole years of human agony into one fatal night. At the close of the war hie ob- tained 2 high appointment in the Caucasus, where his services in the suppression of the Abbasian_ revolt of 1820 were rewarded by Jiamond-hilted_sword from the hand of the Czar himseif. The Turkish war of 1826-'20 dis- played on a wider field his administrative fac- ulty, which, a few vears lates, carned him the Governor-Generaiship of Western Siberia. Tis fiftcen years' tenure of the post was un- doubtedly the noblest, if not the most briliiaut, of his life. The reform of the oppressive re- cruiting system, the facilitics afforded to trade and communication. the encouraement of col- onization, the judicious transfer of the seat of Government {rom remote Tobolsk to the more central point of Owsk, are all due to him; and he wae meditating further improve- ments when the giving way of his health sent bim back to Moscow, to enjoy, as he Tioped, a peaceful old age amoug bis friends.

The earlier events of bis carcer—his education at the Academy of Tsarskoc-Selo, near St. Peters- bury, his entrance into _the diplomatic service at theage of three-and-twenty, his first mis- sion to Epcland in 1824, as Sceretary to the Russian Ewbassy in London—are’” familiar toall. At this time he acquired a knowledee of English lifc and habits which was destined 10 serve him well in after years; but his subse- quent traoster to such second-rate political cen- tres as Florence aud Stuttgart shows how inad- equately his talents were then appreciated by Tis superiors. 1t was not till thirty years aiter into pubdlic iife that the h was the closine scene of t namesake’s trinmpos, became the n of his own. Count XNesselroae, whose keen eye had lobg since discerned the In 1855 he was made 0t alents. of the future Chancellor, sent him to Vicona in 1834, with orders to_“Ecep Austria neutral “at whatever cost.” The difficult com- misston was admirably discharged. _Aguin and again did the pressare of Western Burope from without, and excited Hungary from within, al- most force the vacillating Cubinet into war; but Gortschakoil's skill triumphed over all obsta~ clcs,l and Russiawas saved from lier greatest peril. ) From that time forth the great statesman’s carcer was one continued trinmph. In 1856 he suceeeded Count Nesselrode as Minister of For- elzn Affairs; in 1862 he became Chancellor of the Empire; in the following year his firm atti- tude toward the Western Powers on the ques- tion of the Polish jnsurrection_ earned the thanks of the Czar himself.

AMERICANS IN PARIS. ZLucy lvoper in Philadelpiia Telegranh. + At one of thesuperb entertainments that were given in honor of Gen. Grantthere were present two voung titled Frenchmen, belonging to one of the oldest families in France, who hoa come without an invitation. The fact of their pres- ence being made knovn to the master of the Touse, he very civilly remarked to them that as Gen. Grant had left there was nothing more to sec, that room was wanted for the German,” and that perhaps they had better o lome. They took the hint, and retired, but their lady mama, hearing of the occurrence, somplained of the treatment they hadreceived 1o an Ameri- can gentleman, for some years a resident of Paris. She confessed, with perfect freedom, that the young zentlemen did not even kunow their host ard hostess by sight, and that they Tiad mren a false name to the usher who an- nounced the guests; but still it was not accord- ing to etiquette that they should have been po- litely requested to leave. 1 think myself that the treatment they received was hizhly inappro- printe ujder the circumstances. They should bave oeenr kicked out of the house like intru- sive curs as they were. But it must be con- tessed that French society meu are seldom agrecable guests at an Amcrican house. They énerally devote themselves to the consumption of food, und to criticising the young lady ruests, which they do in the style of a jockev inspect- ing a lot of horses orof a theatrical critic pass- ing in review a new batlet-troupe. It is gener- ally amusing, if not exasperating, to note the dead set that is made byimpecunious nobility at the Tortunes of .Americau heiresses, the periect frankness wherewith the partics go to work being the only redeeming featurc oL the trans- action. A friend:of mine, who is intimately acquainted with a wealthy American family re- siding in Paris, was recently waited upon by an elderly Baroness, who destred to make a match Detween her eldest son and the only dauzhter and heiress of the family aforesaid. She had never scen the young lady, but came to make inquirics about fier dowry on the mere report of her probable inheritance, My fricnd delicately insinuated to Madame la Baronne that there was not the slightest chance of such a marriage ever taking J)lncl:. ‘But the old lady was not to Dbe convinced. Her son was a Baron, and all Americans were fond of titles, she said. * Be- Sides," she continued, impressively, “he is 1!{5(« crushed to the ecarth with s debts. ¢ must gt this girl or he is ruined—absolutely rained.” 'The demand was actually made in duc form, aud was instantly retused in a courteous but decided manuer. Oue young lady, the daughter of a celebrated American millionaire, though still at school and a mere child in years, has enjoyed opportunitics of bearing every title known o the French Peerase, from that of Princess down to that of Baroness. Truly, if such a work cxisted as a French Peeraze like that of Burke in England, it mizht be lettered, & Catalogue of Articles for Sale to the Highest Bidaer.”” And this is_the sort of socicty for which our citizens usually strive when they come abroad. These arc the kind of people they visit and entertain, to the negleet of the real good society o France—the literary, artistic, and Ke- publivan circles of the Capital. TYE QUEEN OF ITALY. Princess Margherita of Savoy now graces the throne of united Italy as Queen; and there never was a royal Jady welcomed to her dignity with greater enthusiasm and more genuiue af- fection by her subjects. Her father, Prince Fer- dinand of Savoy, Duke of Genoa, the youngest brother of King Victor Emmanuel, married Princess Elizabeth of Saxony, fn 1330, and a daugliter, the present Queen, was born to them, at Turio, on the 10th of November, 1351. Six- teen years later, on the 20th of April, 1868, —the wedding-day of her parents,—Princess Marghe- rita married the Crown Prince Humbert, and resided with him at Naples, nutil Rome becawe the capital of United ltaly in 1871 At Naples Ler only son, the present Crown Prince, was ‘bora on the 11th of November, 1869. In Rome the representative duties of a Quecn of Italy devolved upon Princess Margherita, and 1t was a charming sight to sce, on Oceasions of state and cercinony, her graceful form at the side of the stalwart Re Galantuomo. Her vrivate receptions at the Quirinal were the delizht of Roman society. Queen Margherita inherited Lhe northern beauty of her German mother,—blonde bair, and an_ excecdingly fair complexion, both so much admired by the Italians for coutrast’s sake, even in the times of old Rome. Her slender figure is endowed with jnfinite gracc: her conversation is very ani- mated, and carried on with ease in diiferent Janguages. Queen Margherita received a most carcful cducation, is well read, and makes Ttalian history her special study. ~ She has an appreciation and critical eye for the works of art that surround her, and patronizes rising talent in an unobtrusive and generous way. All her tastes. likings, and occupatious are of a thoroughly womaaly character, and thus endear her not only to her immediate surroundings, but tu all cliasses of her subjects, who look up to their Queen as to.a model of grace and womanheod. She is devoted to her first-born sun, and has often had to be called from the nursery to receive visitors of state_and_foreign grandees. Some years ago it was feared_that 2 Cerious chest complaint_might possibly shorcen her days; but fortunately the apprehension was relieved Dy her subscquent recovery. She now enjoys perfect health. VICTOR EMMANUEL. Like nearly all Kines intensely popular among the so-called lower order of their subjects, King Victor Emmanuel s the hero of many storics -destined to become, or at any rate to be regard- ed s, legends in the future. In one of these narratives, his Majesty, oue day hunting in the ncighborhood ot Rome, shot - at a hare at the very moment when a stout citizen, out enjoying the pleasures of the chase, discharged his piece at the same object. The King claimed that he had killed the hare, and the citizen, ignorant of the peraon of his rival, declared in very impolite terms that bie himself was the successiul marks- man. The result was a rezular trinl of strength for possession of the game—a tussle which re- suited in favor of the King, who walked oft with his prize, while the citizen poured upon him a perfect flood of such abuse as only an Lualian of a certain surt has at connnand. At the city gate the King ordered the com- mandant of the {Eunrd to follow the angry citi- zen, and report. liis name and_residence. After a few hours the officer was able to say that the unknown hunter was an bonest cabinet-maker of the Porta del Popolo, when the Kinr sent onc of his carriages to fetch him to the palace. Naturaly the man was_terribly anxious as well as full of wonder why he should be wanted at the palace, and he was not much relieved when he recogmized in the King the mau whom he abused. Master Salvini,” said Dbis Majesty, and at the sound of Lis ngme from Royal lips the man trembied in every nerve—* Master Sal- viui, 1 have seut for you because I have found shot different from mine in the hare; wa both hit the beast. Come, we will cat the hare to- getber:” aud thercupon the door of the dining- room was opened, while, between two plates with appurtenances, smoked the hare, property roasted. Whetlier true or false, the story 18 characteristic, and serves to_cxplain why Victor Enrmmanuel was a popular 1dol. i THE LAY OF THE LARK. In the meadow, on hernest, .

Macarz A. Corse. e ——— The Life-Suving Service. New York Tridune, Jarch 3. Mr. 8. 8. Cox, who_has made_a special study of the needs ot the Life-Saving Service, has ore- pared a bill to equip the coast with a larger number of stations, to pay the keepers better, and impr the present system generally. He has deseribed the frequency of disaster of late years on certain coasts, owinz toa lackof a sufficient quota of stations, and_the purpose of his bill, to a correspondent of the Tritune, and his statement of the subject is sct forth below: “Qn the lakes [said Mr. Cox] several new stations are recommended, and the measures are no less urgent than those 1 bave given you in rerard to Atlantic and Gulf points. Inthe neighborhood of Sleeping-Bear Point, on Lake Michigan, 1 have the record of three wrecks within six yeas This isa bad place for ship- ping, and a station tiere is desirable as one of 2. chuin of stations on that lake. At Baylev's Harbor, Lake Michigan, eizhe wreeks have oc- curred within ten years. This point is con- venient to others which are egually exposed. At Muskegon there have been sixteen disasters. withun ten years, and at Mauistee there have also been " sixteen within the same time, and five at Kenosha within five years. On Lake Huron, at Port Austin, there haye been cizht disasters within five vears, and at Middle Island, eleven Wwithin ten Tears. At Sand Beach a barbor of refure is nearly finished. and the lomlila‘ and surround- ingrs are such thar disaster in that neighborhood must be frequent. . . . Section 10,” said _Mr. Cox, *proposes to remedy a defect which, if not provided for, will utterly ruin the life-boat service upon the lakes, and bring upon the gervice and the country the heaviest disgrace. I refer to the volunteer sys- tem which the law provides for the lakes. The law in rezard to this service reads: *Such vol- uateers shall receive no compensation exceept a sum of not more than $10 each foreveryozcasion upon which they shall havebeen mstrumental in saving human life, and such of the medals bere- in sutborized as they may be entitled to under the provisions hereinafter made.’ Mr. Kimball tetis me that at the outset there was nc difliculty in finding good men to enroll themselves; but when they found that the task they had undertaken required the devotion of much time to the duty of arill and exercise in the use of boats aud apparatus. which was ac- compabied by the loss of wages at_their regu- lar daily labor, and that in several instances, after underzoing severe toil in rendering as- sistance to vessels in distress and savivz prop- erty from wreeks, they were not ander the law entitled to a dollar of recompense because life was not actually saved, they beeame restive, then uninterested and neglectrul. They failed to attend for drill and exercise, and when, at Inst, some serious marine disasters came, there were gaps in the lite-boat crews which bad to be filled with chance volunteers.” ——— American Consuls. Roston Adrertiser. Prof. Luei Monti has written a book entitled “A Consul Abroad,” which will show the absurditics in the American Consular Service. Ris “Consul* i3 a man of zood avilities, with a fair amount of book knowledge, but who is 1gnorant of the three essentials,—the methods of comnerce, French, and Itatian (for he is sup- posed to be a Consul to an Italian city). He has & salary of $1,500, out of whicb is to b paid $500 for clerk hire, 3300 for rent and the expenses of scrvants and | an establishment. Conscquently he is driven into mean quarters, shuuned by other diplomatic _representatives, and - their Jaughine-stock. But lic is a faithful man. He learns the language and business methods, but just as soon as he has come to have some value, after four vears' experienc be is superseded by another man wholly inexperienced and uniit for the place. Thus is our foreign service conducted. TEIE THIBUNE BIZANCI OFEI1CES.
