Theories almost without number have veen invented to explaiu why young ladies do not snore. - Mr. Darwin thinks that no oue snores unless he sleeps lying on his personal back, and that isasmuch as girls always sleep coiled up atter the custom of cats, they could not snore even if they were willing to descend to such o depth of baseness. This explanation is perfect- ly worthless. Mr. Darwin's assertion as to the position in which girls sleep is a mere assumption. He Das no evi- dence to support this assumption, and in the nature of things ft is impossible that he should have any, and he ought to be ashumed of himself. Mr. Huxley pretends that the proximate cause of snoring is a relaxation of the muscles of the face. *The tichtness yrith which the female back hair is twisted prior to sleepinz ’—remarks th bold but too specu- lative maturalist—" prevents the relaxation of the muscles of the scalp and face, -and hence renders snoring impracticable. This is o beau- tiful provision of Nuture, and shows us that the baclk hair s not_merely an ornament.’ but like cvery other work of nature, serves a high and holy purpose.” 1 the Rev. Joseph Cook had read these remarks, i what joy would he have proceeded to tear Prof. Huxley’s arzument to tatters. To say that girls do not suore be- cause their back halr is tightly twisted, is to iznore the fact that the back hair is always de- tached and hung on the back of u chair when- ever its ownerprepares for sleep. Llow then cun it exercise any possible influenee upon snor- inz? Like Mr. Darwin, Prof. Huxley is a ve able man so long as be contines humsell to ex- tinct animals, but when he undértakes to dis- cuss irls he dalls into_abysses of error. Ap- parently, he is perfectly unaware that back hair is detachable. ‘- Get thee to a punnery,” Prol. Huxley! and learn the true nature of back hair before building theories upon” no_ better basis than your own fznorance. Whilé learned men have thus vainly souzht to find why irls do not suore, it docs not seem to have oceurred to them that perhaps girls do snore afterall. On what {s the universal be- el that snoring is exclusively a masculine vice based? Obviously upon purely girkish testi- mony. Every girl claims that she does not snore. It is plainly her interest to male this claim, and she well knows that no one can pro- duce evidence to contradict ber. The truth is, this fancied freedom of the far sex from the loathsome and unpardenable practice of suoring has no substantinl foundation, and a recent event has conclusively shown that girls both can and do suore. The world may, per- haps, be slow to believe so unwelcome an asser- tiou. but there is at least one young man, late of Clinton, 111., who knows to his sorrow that it is true. “This uuhupx&' young man was engaged to one of the fairest ddughters of Illinois, and was in- trusted by her parents with the precious privi Jege of conveving her to Oshkosk, where she.in- tended to visit her father's balf-sister. The train in which the young people traveled started late in the afterndon, and arrived fn Oshkosh early the next morning. The first part of the journcy was delichtful. The younz man = beaped ped-nutss and prize-pack- uges, and illustrated pspers, and fresh figs, and other railway dclicacies upon his be- loved, and he felt he could travel on that train for eizhteen months without even once wishiug to get out and stretch his legs. Evening, how- ever, arrived, and about 9 o’clock the youn; lad; in a low tone and with a slight olush, remarked that she must *retire,” and that perhaps her lover would like to go into the smoking-car for o little white. He was, of course, familiar with the Western dialect, and at ouce uuderstood hat she wished to o to bed, and that her delt- cacy forbade her to indulge in that recreation while he was in the car. Accordingly he bade ner good night and departed, after which she went to bed and drew her midnight curtains around her, An hour later the young man, who also had a berth in the sleepino-car, entered, and was ap- palled to find that some one was snoring with tremendous violence. He cared little for his own ears, but was indignant that the slumbers of his beloved should be disturbed by this rude and wicked soorer. He soon found that his indiynation was sbared by nearly all the other passengers. They found it impossible to sleep, and the language in which they expressed their views was forcible and sometimes exiremely in- genious. The young man was unwilling to content himself with mere words, and, resolving that the object of his afTeetion should kuow that_ Lic was watching over ber slumbers, announced in a loud tone that he would wake the snorer up Without further delay. Accordingly, he av- roached the berth shere the wretch was lying, drew aside the curtain, and, without trying in the dim light to perceive the snorer’s features, shoolt him violently by the shoulder, and. in a Joud voice, told him that he ought to be ushamed of himsetf. The miscreant made a sleepy and inarticulate reoly, but ceased to snore, and the young mau, fecling that he had accomplished a great -work, souzht his own berth and composed himself to sleep. Tae calm was deceptive. In a few minutes the snoring recommenced louder than ever. Soon'a zeneral call was made by the passeneers upon the young man who had already “shown his desire to protect them. They begged him to get up and kill the wreteh, to turow a bucket of cold water over him, or at least to drag hiu: out on the floor. Believing that his beloved was awake and waitihg for his response, he sprang up, determined to earn her eratitude and the admiration of the passeugers. With great bolduess he caught hold of the suorer's anlles and abruptty dragwed the guilry person out of the berth.” This time the suorer was thoroughly awakeved, aud, with a loud shriek, sprank to her feet. Belore she had time to plunge back ioto her berth aud wrap herself with the remains of the curtains, the miscrable counr man had recognized her as his own heart's idol, and she had also recognized bim. Over a scene so terrible and heartrending let us 1t is suflicient to say that the most interesting manize now in the Chicago Lunatic Asvlum is a young man who constantiy repeats: . “*She snored! Great heavens, she snored ! weeping meanwhile large and bitter ears. A MURDER---AND THE SEX. | _ttufalo Express. Ars. Matilda Fletcher, at a recent meeting of toe Woman’s Suffrage Soclety in New York, spoke fn benalf of Mrs. Southern. of Georgia, the lady who, in .a moment of jealous frenzy, stabbed to death the woman who had usyrped Der busband’s attentions for a few hours, Our readers will remember that the aflair took place at a countrs ball. The murdered woman was what is called a “grass widow.” She had been warned by Mrs. Southern to let her hus- band alone. he gentleman had been re- auested to keep away trom her. The two nevertiieless danced together, with the result stated. After the murder there was an eilort to arrest; but Mr. Southern suddeniy drew his pistol, took nhis wife under his arm and marched out of doors, gaying that he should save the woman no: matter at what peril. The Southern family, aceompanied by the futher of | the yuung man and one or two other relatives, flea Turther south, and it was not unfil months after that the murderess—her ‘husband still | remaining true to:-her—was brought back, tried,and sentenced to be hanged. On the trial the father of the murdered woman frequently shed tears of sympathy for the prisouer, and public sympathy, which had been decidedly. against her, gradually turned to er side, until to-day there are. probably few who desire the' ghedding of ber blood. She sat with her childs in her.lap througbout the” procecdings, out- wardly calm and always-cleiming that “she had but when the jury brought her in puilty wooned and mamifésted by gencial weakness that she Wwas as womanly 8s other Women are.

Lut Mrs. Fletcher, who bas heretofore been conserva- tive on most subjects, eclipsed them all,” de- claring that “it would be right for an army of women to go down there and- take Mrs. South- ern foreibty from the 3all.” The arPument was that Mrs. Southern was in a peculiar condition at the time of the murder, and could therefore not be held responsible for her acts, particularly as her husband and the bad Wwoman who united with him to torture her had been fairly warned beforehand,—and the® first part of the proposi- tion is well taken; that if anybody is punished the husband should be,—snd he should, though he bas acted & manly part since the tragedy; and, finally, that, Mrs. Southern being preanant again, the hanging, which is set for the 21st of June, cannot take place sny way. - Mrs. Southern will not be hanced.

Women are ‘so changeable! ———— THE LAKE AND THE STREAMS. BY JANE GREY SWISSHELM. Once upon a time, a great while ugo, and ina country far, far from this, a lovely lake lay among the hills, making pictures all day long, and all night too,—picturcs of the sun, the moon, and the stars; pictures of the clouds and birds which passed overit; of the storm and the sunshine; of the trees and flowers which grew upon its banks, and the pretty boats and happs people it bore upon its surface. There never was o more per- fect artist than this lake which lay among the hills, But it did more than make pictureg, for it furnished & home for millions of fish, and drew many people to llve on its banks, and breathe the air it cooled and purified while passine over it. Children gathered pebbles on its shores, dipped their piok feet into itslapping waves, and shouted with glec at their s oft, cool caresses. All about this lake werelittle streams, which, every one, poured their waters into it, and so kept it tull, and fresh, and pure; while the sun and wind kept on aud on, drawing this water out of the lake, apd carrying it around to be dropped in showers to the ground, where it found its way down into reservoirs which fed the streams, as well as made the whole countyy- side green nud beautiful with rich grass and golden zrain. . _Tnings went on in this way for a very 1onrg\ time, and every one tuought it was all right, until one of the streanis grew angry ‘with the laie, und began to talk to the othier streamns. “\Vhat is the reason,” eaid the angry stream, “ that this lazy fcliow should be herc doing nothing, while all we bard-working streams are contributing to his greatuess? What does hedo for a livinz? Nothing, forsaoth, that I can sce; while I turn halt-n-dozen mills, and furnish a Imlthiniz-uround for the fishi of which he is so tond. What would he be without us streams? 1 tell you we are mean-spirited fellows to be thus made slaves toan aristocrat who does uotbing lor bis bread! If my brethren are of my mind, w¢ will stop coutributig to his \\'en'\lzln. and see how he will get along without us.” ‘This angry stream was the larzest which poured its waters into the lake, and It was so very anery and _threatening that the other streams trembled to hear its poisterous words; Lm:,1 our little stream ventured to repiy, and said: [t is verv true, indeed, that we do work hard, zud travel a great many wiles, every day, while the Iuke only tosses - aboui a little; but, then, 1 like travéling and tarning a mill s good fun. T pity thelake because it cannot turn a mill, or 10 away Wp into the country to see the sights I see. esides, what Would we do with our water if we did not pour it into the lake?” ‘Then the anpry stream grew furious, and call- ed the little stredtn hard names for going agajust his_class. *The ‘other. streams joined with it, and tbey resolved that not another drop of water would one'of them pour into that’lazy, auristocratic lake;-and that-any stream Which dared-to disobey this law'ol the ‘Union shomld be summarily. dialt with! = No more ‘water suould go _into that ' lake, for it'"was an’ acenmulation, of, cavital,—of capital drawn from the labor Gt” the~ harl‘iworkine, stréams. Al such accumulation was 8 siii azainst the law of Nature. The streans uiust have all'the urku; ceeds of their gwa tofl, and the lake must take care of itself. No more water should go fiito iv from the streams; and more thun that, av.army of muskrats should be seut to make a tunuel which should let out all the water then in the lake. So the streams got up a strike to punish the lake and maintain their rights. They, all at once, stopped runuing, and the mills stood still. All through the country, instead of happy, lauchipe brooks, there were sullen chains of | means little stagnant FOO[S' covered with ereen slime, and erowing frogs, and mosquitoes, instead of sweet grass and flowers. ‘Tne rats let out the lake-water, and the fish all died. Pooplc - ‘moved away from the bank ot the lake, and there are only ruins now where the pretty villas used to stand. Instead of splashing, sparkling water, there fs a dry bastn, covered with pebbles and bleachtng skeletons. The sun finds nothing from which to draw mists, snd so_there.is no rain, and all the springs bave dried up. The trees, too, and grhss, and grain have disappeared; and the an- gry, working stream bas had a great victory over the laughing, idle lake. —t—— CONGRESSIONAL POTTER-Y. To ths Editor of The Tribune. Cricaco, May 18.—What a dieh {s this to set be- fore o King! Black-birds were ‘the nicety on the traditional occasion, we_believe, but the dish we especially mean, is a dish—only 3 dish—and noth- ing more. No fault of the American people wae it that they were mistaken In the Congress which they served up for the delectation of Rutherford B Hayes. Inthe sublime innocence of their hearts, and the magnahimity of. their impulses, they thonght there was meat in it. Even the least san- ruine oand eensitive no doubt trusted there was something in it,—certainly were ready to swesr 10 its baving contents, anyway. ° For thePresident of their choice, with his clean record unsullied, and of nnquailing manliness, was, y the decpest public instinct and the most wignif- jcant popular demonsteation, pronounced a ** King " in all the prerozatives of manhood. And could this people willingly consent, if onty to their own self-respect, that one'who thus stood before them approved by their own flat, as in all royal points a man, shonld now be exposed to the de- grading test, as decisive, of a mere clatter of crock- ery? The great people, however. have widely di- verse sffairs on their hands, and little politicians work the national culinary, 8o to speak. And what have they given us? What bas been et before the Preaident of the United States for his official kustenance and comfort from very mieh the bezinning? No matter of what party, or volitical predilections—can any citizen of decent discern- ment cast his eye along over Congress ay a whole up to the very present moment, 2ni_come up from the dredzing processwith a sparkle of conecious pride? Conrrees! no axagecration fs it, butan actual plague-spot of fact, subsiantiated by com- ‘mon expression of contempt heard on the strects, in the cars, nt hotel-table:, over bars, smong amins of boyk, high or low, evergwhere, that ongress is a nonentity in the public mind—having no sort of existence as an intelligence or an in- fluence. But worse; it 1s Indeed recozaized as e ridiculous and shameful interference with momentous in- terests, like the continued lofty tumbling of Pottery, and very commonplace waro at that. The Jangh. the taunt, the threat, the curéc, shows day by ay, what current opinion_deems it fit for. Incapacity, imbectiity are cordislly and con- sentaneously awarded it. Expectation stands with jungled nerves, or clse with practiced and garcastic resignolion, waiting what interesting crash national legislative vacuity will come to next. Never, scemingly, in its” whole history, hus the Amorican people been so cheated in uand mortifica by ita represcntatives, as during the present Presidential “term. Men in community prow lukewarm for the President who once were his heartlest supporters, and carping words of blame begin to disgrace our moaths: but Jet it be well anderstood that in Haves’ cuse it has heen one against odds. Numbers of the weak members of the Jegislative branch of the Government, conscions of the vantage point they constitutionally occu- . and jealous of the self-contented streugth and unfrightened independence of tne Executive, and wheedled on_ by here and there that sem- blance of ability which s essentinlly aox- musk- fous, sciish umbition. conspire to substitute for thelr own empty noddles, and want of character and capability, numerical sloppings, balking- measures, uad fnally one grand fourish of tnqui- Bt - “+Anxions, sclsh-ambition,” too traly.

Hayes marched steadily on to the extens of s power, with the tramp of the soldier, while Congress went to put- tering with the finances. Then ensued o spectacle for the gods.

The financial tangle stopped all other issues in n snarl; and noiversal fndustry bus waited in vain for some specific and far-graspmg attention to its crving needs. To sum np the criminal inadequacy of this raling logislature of a mighty nation und its grace- Jess infidelity as o revresentative body, we have now, in the house miscalled House of Representa- tives, presented very fitly by a Potter, & propozi- tion to investigate the richt of the President of the United States to be President about half the allotted term. Pray, of what clay is this Potter made? . But farce may easily turn out tragedy; and fools who render s nation's lecielation a picture for a Hogarth are exactly the fizures to throw dire ca- lamity upon their country. Letthe people ob- serve, and profoundly take to heart that, while tne broad Jand s going to the dogs—while inaus- teios are blasted from margin of the sca to marzin of the sea—while vagabondaze and corraption are swelling high over ail interests—while diatress and tarror are pleading piteously for help from some gource uf suthority—there are the men iwe have sent to Washington to do their duty and fet not tbe nation euffer playing, for- gaoth, like puling infants, with the desperate problems of the hour, and actuslly enruzed in working up with prattling zest, s the only worthy object of legislation, an ulira-impeachment of Preeident Hayes.

Ci10aco, Muy 17.—The editorial of this morn- ing on the temperance question is timely and much to the point. Moral Influence is vood, but there must come in some shape o retief the State that will help to keep the work of the moralist fxed. We may talk moral influence all the week. snd yet on Satarday nigh when the laborer or mechanic comes home from his weel of toil with his few kard earned dollars, the saloon stands open all of Sat- urday night and all day Sunday and Sanday might, and all for the purpose of catching this poor, weak buman creature’s money-which should go to the family, but can't get there becamse the saloon stands ot tho corner between his wages and his home. The 3,000 saloons of Chicago do more harm on one Saturday nizht aud Sunday than all the temperance assoclations of the city put to- sether can do good in u month. Tt is among the working cises that the real misery of the rum trafic is to be found. Why? Because the men and women of labor are creatares notof brain-powec but of ‘muscalar strenath, and Tesiatance of temptation reqaires will-power, and Will-power must orizinate 1n mental power; hence ft is .that. ministers are employed to help these .crestures, and the “modersie urlnk- ers (who have brain-power but won't exert it). tiunk and point out for them swhat they should do; hence it I¢ lthnt yu‘m‘ paper flun‘?n{‘n::' jal department cxfats, and men an me: editorial departm mea and wosen e aper for, you help us ?:“z'x‘..'z"fie‘,’né’m “feformers are abroad, to help o thing, aud point ont to humanity, cnsiaved by tho rum trafiic, a relief from the “*Duvil'y chain.

BaRNES. ——— Holtnm, the Strong Man. Londen Cerrespondence New York Sun. Holtum stretches himself aloug a ladder on his face, his feet against one of the runes, and his hands clnsping another. Round his wrists are bands fasteged in the ladder to assist his erip. Over his shoulders and around his waist is n well-paddedjharness, fitting closely, with a tail, to which is attached a hook in which the chains of the traces arc ploced. Two good- sized van horscs are fasteoed on, and strive their utmost to move him, but in vain; the tackle may give way, but he docsn’t. The strain seems to be distributed over his whole frame, and the tension, particularly in the mus- cles of the neck and arms, is most marked. Holtum bas apother feat. It consists in hold- ing with arms outstrecched two horses pulling opposite wavs. Holtum’s measurement is as follows: Chest, 41 inches; neck, 1634 inches; waist_32}¢ inches; forearm, 13 inches; upper arm, 15% inches; thigh, 243 inchess calf, 1534 inches: height, 5 fect 9 inches: weight, 14 stone 3 pounds; aze, 32 years. Holtum is a Dane, and took to this business in 1872. The idea of catching a cannon ball, another of his wondertul feats, which he exhibits daily at the Westminster Aquarium, was first sugeested to him in a dream. He draws a salary of about £40 per week. He has shown that the body supine can stand a direct. tension of five tons. ————— Potroleum In Naval Warfare, At a recent meeting of the Enelish Institute of Naval Architects a paper was read sugeesting that a jet of crude petrolcum mizht be thrown upon the deck of an iron-clad with excellent results. The crew would be so scorched and smothered by the smoke as to be forced to re- tire from workine the guns, when a Jaunch with a spar or other torpedo.could approach and de- liver the fatal blow. It was calenlated that such a jet could be thrown 300 feet fect with accura- ey, apparently much afer the tashion in which water is directed from a hose on a conflagration, only with preclsely the contrary intent. Already the necessary apparatus has been desizned: and it is believed that a single zallon of petroleum would render 100 square feet of surfuce unin- habitable by man for some little time. It is allezed that a Russian Commission which in- vestigated the subject decided just before the opening of the.campaizn that liquid fire could be used against ships with success REMA_R_KABLE EVENTS. * THE ORIENTAL START.
