The only place where one can not get fish is at sea has no meaning for the voyager be- tween Aden and Suez. The Red sea is the ex- | ception that makes the rule, for there is not a day, or even an hour, that fish of one kind or another are not to be seen from the deck of a steamer homeward or outward bound, and, provided the vessel is not going too fast, caught and brought on board, too. Dolphin, albacore, bonita, bara- couta, flying-fish, black-fish and porpoises abound, and at certain seasons fleets of Arab fishing-boats make immense catches of fish, which is salted and carried iniand, but adistine- tive fish ot the Red sea, and more especially of the upper part of it, in the Gult of Suez, is the Red salmon. The god-father—or god- mother perhaps—of this handsome fish is un- but anyone who has seen the fish ‘dead, erstill, in the act of rising at a spinning bait, will say that it looks well deserving of the royal name bestowed upon it. Itis only at table that the Red Sea salmon discredits its il- lustrious sponsor, the king of fishes: tor, if the truth must be told, its flesh is very little superior in flavor to that of the English bass. When [was returning home from India last November I saw such a boat-load of these splendid fish brought on board at Suez as would make any angler’s mouth water There were twenty or thirty of them, ranging, I should in the Shannon.

Immediately after that, finding himself re- garded with suspicion, he said he had a proposi- tion to make. and was requested to make it in writ He did so, when to the astonishment of the counsel tor the government in the case it proved to be a proposal that he should be au- horized to promise clerkships to Jurymen who had been influenced on the other side as an in- eentive to do their duty.

From the New York Sun. Three star route jurors have furnished the counsel of Brady and Dorsey with affidavits which Col. Ingersoll is using in the interest of his cli These three jurors are William Dickson, the foreman, William Holmead and William K. Brown. Dickson's story has been public for some time.

From the Friend’s Review. The following instance, for which we have a credible voucher, will serve to show the impolicy of the wickedness too often practiced toward animals. A hack driver, famillarly known to many of our citizens, waited daily for custom at one ofthe principal depots of Philadelphia. He was ofahard, cruel disposition, the effects of which were painfully felt by the dumb but not senseless creatures upon whom he depended for daily bread. When the throng of newly- arrived travelers had all passed from the train without his securing “‘a job,” his disappoint- ment irritated his temper, and he would vent his rage by beating his horses in the public street, responding only by oaths to the remonstrances of humane spectators. Our informant, & respec- able citizen, before whose place of business these revolting scenes occurred, having for a con: rable time missed this driver from his | usual stand, found, after inquiries, that he went at night into his stable. and One of the horses who had so often felt his unmerited cruelty seized him with his mouth by his lonz bare nee! and thus held him till he was choked to death. Thus did justice adapt the punishment to the crime. As he had sown, he reaped. The name we suppress—the anecdote we tell for the lesson it conv This horse was susceptible of gratt- tude and love. He was capable, also, of mem- ory and revenge. By many deeds of gentle obedience he had served his reasoning but un- reasonable master, but receiving no good re- quital, he was at length actuated by despair and the instinct of self preservation. SSR ‘The Starry jcavens and the Moral Law Within Us. From the New York Graphic. Those wise people who have of late risen early from their beds to observe the comet have seen signs in the heavens much more beautiful than even the wanderer with streaming hair who has come to us from the infinite depths of space. In the morning there is the moon, clustered around by all her starry fays. Near her is great Orion sloping slowly to the west; the Pleiades shine. serene and far, and great Saturn lends his glory to the heavens, which seem set with Jewels;so that one feels called upon to quote Emerson's lines about how tenderly the haughty day fills his blue ura with fire, and how at last one is lighted off to bed with the jewels in the cup. Venus is not visible when the comet is In sight, but sets early in the evening, and Mars also sets too early to be observed.” Jupiter rises two hours before inidnight and glows till morning. On the 13th the new moon will be in conjunction with Mer- cury and Mars, with but a half hour's difference between the points of nearest approach to the lanets. With the «telescope Neptune and Uranus may be seen, but to the not too inquisi- tive person they are planets of no interést.

As nearly everybody wears stockings—and I advise those who do not to give them a trial— nearly everybody will be interested in knowing wheretheycome from. Chemnitz is the greatest stocking mam and exporting city in the world. It is possible—yes, it is highly pro- bable—that you, my fatr north-sider, have on a Pair of stockings, in two colors, which were manufactured in one of the big factomes here. You think not, for they came out of a box which hada French label on, and you bought them for the latest Paris sensation. True enough, but the best French hose are not manu- factured in France, nor by Frenchmen. They are made in Chemnitz, Saxony. And, my dainty friend, with your feet hanging out of the. win- dow of a south side club room, you are admiring those beautiful silk embroidered Balbrigzan socks of yours. These were sold to you for the genuine irish goods. They were never on Irish soil; they were not manufactured by Irishmen. They were made in Chemnitz. The best Irish Balbriggan hose in the world are purchased here. And, my jovial west-sider, the Engtish regulars or half regulars which you purchased the other day, and which you fold your wife were the easiest-fitting and most comfortable you ever had on your feet, are not English stockings at all. They are the product of a Saxon loom, and are all the better for it. French, Irish and English hosiery, in cotton, half cotton, wool, half wool and silk or half silk, plain, striped, or embroidered, for ladies, children, or gentlemen, are manufactured in Chemnitz in quantities that amaze one, and constitute one of the greatest industries of this industrious city, where one-third of the inhabitants are manu- facturers and traders, and nearly two-thirds years and spinners, stitchers and opera- tives. THE DANCE OF WEALTH. The Rich Monopolists Dragging the Great Republic to Ruin. From the Philadelphia Timos. Walk up Fitth avenue and stroll down Madi- son avenue. What do you see? Houses? Non- sense—palaces. Unique in design, unlike any- thing seen or heard of in all the world, are these huge piles of granite and of brick. Well, what of it? A great deal! First of all, I believe we are living in an area of exceptional prosperity. Everybody is making money or losing it. Every- body in trade is doing well. Professional men are especially fortunate. Stock gamblers and railroad sharks coin fortunes yearly, The men we meet in office and park. the men we en- counter professionally or socially, the men we see in the theater or church, are easy in their fimances. All things tend upward. And with this upward tendeney go our pecuniary rockets far up towards the very zenith of prosperity. They touch, handle and retain enormous pos- 3 of others. y are selfish, inconsiderate, brutal: To them the golden dollar is the index of power. Their fast horses are stabled in luxury, and their stables outshine physically the hdtses of their fellows. The great stables of Mr. Vanderbilt, erected with marvelous impudence and utter disregard of a son Madison avenue, are marvels of comfort and pictures of ‘The cheapest horse owned by the son cared for than his father or his mother were at his time of life.

Just as certain | as fate these pictures are the signs of the time: There is a growing feeling here that under the present system the rich are getting richer fast and the poor are getting poorer fast. If our wealthy men could be induced to do good with their money this feeling of hostility might be averted, perhaps. But what do they do? One spends fortunes in fast horses and consorts all his idle time, hours daily, with stable men, host Jers and joel on the road every afte: noon and ’ every day of his Ilfe, Another emulates his example. Others seek the dissolute of both sexes. Not one of them has done or Is doing one dollar’s worth for the people of the city. Added to this are the out- Tages perpetrated daily, some the result of “criminal negligence.” some the normal out- come of disregard of the rights of others, and all the natural result of the feeling of security born in reliance on the potency of wealth. Will trouble come? Not to-day. but it will come. This isn’t the first year of human race. Men of to-day are very much like the men of yesterday. Fortu- Ko up we don't ame time. s don’t go up.

We have hosts of just such hue. Our coroner's iuries are be- coming bolder. Heretofore “criminal negli- gence” was an “act of Divine Providence.” I have no idea that Vanderbilt will be tried tor manslaughter just yet. Nevertheless the ver- dict of the coroner’s’ jury imputes to the man- agement of his road “criminal negligence.” The water boy and the telegraph operator expected to perform the delicate and onerous duties of four men, are also prosecuted, and I dare say they will be tried in due course.

How to Bring Him to the Point. From the Chicago Tribune. The impatience of the parents of the young lady over the long and fruitless visits of the chronic caller was pictured ‘in comic colors some years ago by afunny writer. It seems that it was midnight. The young-man had farewelled himself out and Emeline had locked the door and was untying her shoe when her mother came down stairs with a bedquilt around her and sald: “Wanted.to creep up stairs without my hear- ing you, eh? Didn't think it wasan hour after midnight, did you?” The girl made no reply and the mother con- tinued: “Did he propose this time?” “Why, mother!” exslaimed the daughter. “You can ‘why mother’ ail you want to, but don’t I know that he has been coming here for the last year? Don’t I know that you've burned up at least four tons of coal courting around here?” : The girl got her shoes off,and the mother d in the stair door and asked: meline, have you got any grit?” T guess so.” “T guess you haven't. with false teeth anda mole on his chin would come sparking me. Do you know what would happen, Enieline?” “No.” “Well, I'll tell you. He'd come to time in sixty days or he'd get out of this mansion like a goat jumping for sunflower seeds.” And Emeline went to bed hugging this thought to her bosom. Occasionally such visits become so burden- some that the young lady talks to the young man herself. At least they had such a girl out in Colorado. She had been receiving the atten- tions of a young man for about a year, but be- coming impatient at his failure to bring matters to acrisis she resolved to ascertain his inten- tions. When he next called she took him gently by the ear, led him to a seat, and said: “Nobby, you've been foolin’ ‘round this claim fur mighty near a year, an’ hev never yit shot off your mouth on the marrying biz. .U've cottoned to you on the square clear through, an’ hey stood off every other galoot that has tried to chip in; an’ now I want you to come down to business or leave the ranch.

From the London Telegray Swollen feet and ankles, sharp and at times aimost unendurable pains in the knee-Joints, in the hips and the back were chiefamong the patients’ ailments, but two or three, though less seriously, were perhaps much more tor- mentingly afflicted. There was one poor girl of robust habit and sturdily built, who came in shuffling along and flinching at every step like a person with gout, and whowas suffering from corns on the soles of her feet, and the doctor informed me that this was a common result of standing and walking many hours a day in thin shoes on a boarded floor. The poor patient in question—she was about eighteen years old— could not refrain from eryi She had tried ev remedy — that been sug- gested to her, including caustic and extraction, but as fast as her corns were destroyed they came again. She had lined her boots with wad: ding, she said, and with layers of ojled flannel: but come the evening, when her feet grew tired, the corns began to bura and throb; and, to use her own words, it was like walking on hot splinters of glass. and the only way she could get rid of the pain, so asto able to sleep when went to bed, was to immerse her feet in Thardly st to be pitied, or the with her and who was employed at the s: drapery establishment. Instead of corns, she had blisters on the soles of her feet, and which of late had so ineapaci- that she had been threatened with discharge from her present situation. It is only just to say that of all those I talked with this was the only shop-girl who complained of harsh treatnient on the part of the employer. The female employes, as a rule, seem to be lib- erally paid, fairly fed and comfortably lodged, and have nothing to find fault with excepting the many hours a day they are kept at work and the cruelty inflicted on them by denying them the privilege of sitting down in their brief spells of leisure from counter duty. But the poor gir with blistered feet seemed to have fallen into the hands of exceptionally hard taskmasters. ‘We can’t have you here, you know, limping about the place like a cat on hot bricks,” was know whether she w young woman who the unfeeling remark, as she {nformed us the | shop-walker had addressed to her on the pre- vious day, “and we expect our hands to appear lively and pleasant, not to look cross and sulky at every customer they have to serve after 8 o’clock or so, as though they resented their com- ing at all at that hour.

FASHIONS IN FALL FLOWERS, Demands That Indicate That Estheti- cism Has Left its Mark. From the New York Sun. : “Certain kinds of flowers like certain kinds of bonnets and silk hats,” a florist said, “have a season of favor with wealthy and fashionable people, and then they pass away to give place to other favorite blooms. Just now the popu- lar fancy does not confine itself to the sunflower or the daisy, as is commonly supposed, but it includes all flowers of that general description. This, as I understand it, means that the recent wave of estheticism has left its mark on the taste for flowers more perhaps than on any other accompaniment of polite life. Without insisting that my theory is right, let;me point out a few of the blooms: which have_recently come into favor. You will notice that they are all light and airy. There is an antipathy:to all flowers which are double, and therefore heavy in effect. First in popular favor come single dahliahs, yel- low or scarlet or purple. There is asingle dahlia called the Paragon, of a dense purple, which is just now popular for young men to — in the pant hole. It is almost two inch fer. “For hand bouquets or for corsage bouquets the Cae is much sought after. It is some- times the crown flower, because sharply revealed L agaist the vivid, bright golden per lanceolated corolla is a crown penciled in brown around the stamens.

An English actress and singer, put down in the bills as “Miss,” is a married woman. Sne is now performing in Philadelphia. “I cannot tell you,” said she to a reporter, “how glad I am to find that there is no ‘masher’s row’ in American theaters. It is a great annoyance to an actress in London to have two or three rows of the front seats filled with fops in evering dress, who stare rudely at her all the time with opera glasses and pester her with notes con- taining invitations to supper. A gentieman sent me round a white camelia, with a request that I would wear it the next evening. He would be in the front row of the stalls, wearing 4 similar white flower, to enabie me to recognize him, and asked me to sup with him after the performance. J told my husband, and he went to the club and brought fifteen men, who all purchased seats in the front row, and wore white camelias in their button holes. My ad- mirer appeared, and I wore the flower. He got into a dreadful state when he found the rest of | the men wearing similar flowers, and tried, by gestures, to draw my particular attention. 1 took no notice of him, however; nevertheless, he came to the stage door after the performance. My husband received him and gave him a thrashing.” a =an, THE VIENNA POLICE AND THE CHICAGO POLICE. The Two Systems From Supt. McGargle’s Report. Vienna has a population twice that of Chi- cago, and to care for this number it hasa police force which numbers about 2,800 men. The city is divided into 17 police districts covering an area of about 28 square miles. This gives a little over 49 policemen to each square mile. The governing force of the department is rather cumbersome, there being a president, a vice- president, 20 boards of police members and a large number of commissioners, both chief and private attorneys, inspectors, clerks, balliffs, and other department officials. The sub- divisions of the force include the regu- lar patrol, the vault police and those who give attention to sanitary matters. The patrol police consist of 1 general inspector, 4 chief in- spectors, 11 precinct inspectors, 12 ‘district in- spectors, 100 inspectors of tie first grade and the same number of the second grade and 2,120 patrolmen. There are 116 men in the vault police and 46 in the sanitary police. In addition to these there are 65 mounted policemen. The duties of the Vienna force include many details. They regulate the sale of books, papersjournals and the like, and issue licenses in cases of ap- proval. They have the regulation of clubs, so- cieties and meetings; they have the control of the issuing of passports and their examination ; they regulate intelligence offices and servant: they attend to trades and to the giving of It censes; they have the oversight of hacks, ex- ‘agons and the inspection of theatersand other public buildings in addition to their regu- lar patrol duties on the streets, The members of the force area fine bedy of men in appear- ance. They haye a dark biue uniform, helmets, and are armed with swords.

Moreover, the child seems to have no use for a brain, if | the eyes may be believed, for, in the absence of a skull, the head is translucent and almost transparent, while by the aid of a lamp prop- held it’ may be perceived that the brain cavity is filled with a colorless fui Nothing | exists in this serum that can be perceived. The head is larger than the body, the increase of size being almost entirely above the temples and measures twenty-seven inches around. The lower face is perfect, and the child would be pretty but for the monstrous development. The rapid growth of the upper head has drawn the skin until the eyelids will notclose, and the eyebrows are pulled up an inch at least above -the normal position. Whenan Enquirer reporter visited the child yesterday it was asleep, and its mother would noi allow it to be awakened for experiments. A rather dim coil-oil lamp was placed behind the monstrous head, and gieamed through it as though the skin formed the only ob- stacle to the light. The veins upon the forehead and the locks of hair upon the back of the head made the only shadows, as was proved by moy- ing the lamp. The light behind the head illum- ined the whole of the interior, being as percep- tible upon the side as the front of the occiput. It is claimed that when the child is awake the light of a lamp or sunlight falling upon the back of the head is even more plainly seen through the eyeballs or the nostrils, or through the ears when placed at one side. This remark- able head is covered with an abundant growth of auburn, silky hair, The child has every appearance, except in the color of the skin, of good health. It is fully developed, very plump, and is said to be strom. while it has a good appetite. In all its habits it is regular and like any other child. That it should have progressed so far as to be weaned, maintaining good health; and should have reached the teething period, is one of the won- ders of physiology. Its senses are said to be perfect and acute, and it possesses enough in- telligence to smile faintly when tickled, and to recognize food when it sees it. When the child was born it was known as the “headless yy,” asitseemed cut off above the ears on a line sloping toward the nape of the neck, while awrinkled skin covered the top. It suffered greatly, and its life was preserved with diffi- culty. At three or tour weeks of age the skin began to fill out, when the child’s sufferings ceased and it enjoyed good health. The growth has been constant since. The child suffers no pain, and only the inconvenience of not being able to sit up, in consequence of its deformity. The tension of the skin is such that it does not yield as readily to the touch as might be ex- pected from its appearance, yet the child does not seem to experience any trouble from this, and was in as sweetly yesterday as any- body’s cherub. ; contains some interesting A prominent Providence dealer in crockery, in conversation with a reporter of that city re- cently, said: “Up to the time of the Ceatennial exposition there was very little demand for any kind of dishes except the plain white: Occa- sionally, it is true, some wealthy person would purchase a decorated dinner set ; but the deco- tions consisted chiefly of gold bands, or of bands in colors, and were very simple compared with what you see all over this store to-day. But after people had been to the exposition and seen the handsome decorated sets from foreign man- ufactories that were shown there they began to look for something of the same sort for their own. dining tables, and the dealers had to meet the demand. First there came a call for fancy | decoration, chiefly from wealthy families, and | after that the demand grew more general, and extended down through different classes of goods, everybody falling into line. We sel | very little of the plain white china nowadays. | and the ware decorated with bands is entirely | out of date. A good many old styles were found | there, and I think that the rage for old china antique wares was largely indebted to the same | influence. Odd styles prevail in chamber sets, | however, more than in table ware. Notice | the shape of those ewers. They look more like ancient Egyptian water jars than anything else, | and so you see all along under the shelves various curiously patterned sets. Now here is something else. “In the era of white china, and when the old style of decorations, such as bands, | was In vogue, all the courses at a dinner party were served upon plates, which, except in the matter of size and shape were very much alike. | Now you see we have a different pattern tor each course. The oysters, for instance. are served on these dishes appropriately decorated, and divided Into. compartments—one compartment for each oyster. Then comes the fish set, with a fish-shaped platter,perhaps,and the piscatorial designs upon the plates, and so on through the | game, meat, salads, fruits, ice creams and nuts. That Is Chinese ware. TheChirf€se never change | and their style of crockery, like everything else | they have, is just the same as it was centuries | ago, A while ago some American merchants were in Chinia, and succeeded in getting them to put handles to some of the teacups. It was | | hard for them to make the innovation. but they did. It has proved a costly one, too. | Now here's a cup without a handle. | That sells at $3.75 per dozen. Here is one with | ahandie attached. and the price is $15. It | takes just three times as much as is asked for | the cups, you see, to buy the handles.” | “What is the most popular style of coloring and decoration | “There is no prevailing cholee.

Semc Interesting Facts from the Re- port of the Cominissioner of Potice. The report of the commissioner of police of | the metropolis for the year 1881, just issued, | acts. That the popu- | lation of the metropolitan. are: at 4,788,657, should require 11,234 police of all Tanks to protect the law-abiding against the violent and predatory section ill hardiy preve that greater London isa heavliy-policed city; ; but the percentage of police to population is still further reduced when the 1,290 detailed on dockyard and other duty are deducted. In the number of what are called *‘principal” offenses, including murder, all felonies, robberies and larcenies, there is a slight diminution from the preceding year, and there wereactually eighteen | urglaries less in 1881 than in 1880, a fact which may perhaps have stimulated the professor of that art to bring up the average by beginning early this season. There was, however, a large increase in “ho breaking,” defined as lar- cous committed In houses during the da: time. The most noteworthy fact in connection with these burglaries and house-breakings is that nearly one-half of them were committed in houses where there was no person in charge. This, coupled-with the enormous but apparently decreasing number of doors and windows found open by the police, would apparently lead tothe conclusion that a vast proportion of thefts are due to the carelessness of the sufferera. It has been pointed out over and over again that It Is fortunate for society that thieves know of only @ small proportion of their opportunities. if they really had among them a Fra Diavolo ora Paul Clifford to find their “‘work” for them thetr calling would hardly be so wretched as it 1s at present. If the police find In the course of a Year as m*ny as 25,591 doors and windows left open it may be fairly assumed that the actual number left open or only slightly fastened must be very great. The report of the directors of criminal inves- tigations is so far cheering that he assures us that from a comparison of the statistica of the Metropolitan police district with those of all the chief cities of Europe, he is satisfied that the proportion of serious offenses, and more especi- ally of violence against the person, ts very much smaller in London, although it contains thou- sands of persons socially expatriated from their native countries.
