After these in rank* stand the eight bedohaoiber women, 'Who serve, in rotation in the same man- ner, and are only expected to. serve on the state occasions. Henrietta, Duch- tCSS of Suffolk, in one of her letters, gives an interesting aocpunfc of tjie du- ties of these \women\ in her time. \ The bedchamber women came into Waiting, before she was dressed. The queen often shifted in a morning. If her majesty shifted at noon, the bed- chamber lady being by,, the bedcham- ber woman 1 gave the shift to the lady Without any oeremohy, and the lady- put; it on. Sometimes likewise, the bedchamber women gave tha fen t o (the lady in. the same manner; and this •was all that the bedchamber lady did about the quoen when she was dressing. \When the queen washed her hands, the rpage. of the buok stairs brought and «et down on thesidetabie the b»?in and >«wer. Then the' bedchamber woman set it before the queen and knelt on the other side of tho table over against the queen, the bedchamber lady only look- dug on. The bedohamber woman jpoured the water out of the ewer upon the queen's bands. The bedohamber woman pulled on the queen's gloves When she could not do i t herself. The page of the baok stairs was called in to put on the queen's shoes,\ etp. All this is now obsolete; the situations are quite honorary so far as work is con- cerned.

In a pioturesqUe description pf the famous shrine of Ste. Anne do Boaupre by Wi G. Baers in the Gmtwy, occurs the following account of the shrine and: the^cures said to be effected there: But there the steamers come, and soon two thousand pilgrims land on the wharf * A brass band leads, the way, and the people file, up in long prooes- sibn, dusty but devoted, snariy, no ;doubtj with mingled hopes and fears* Over forty cripples jimp along on oratories or supported by friends, and a pitiable sight it is, The procession enters the new church, where, at the high altar and at the sides, a number of priests preside. As you enter you see a large money box, of ancient date and curious /construction, fastened to a pillow by iron stanchions; The quaint padlock ;ia opened by an old-fashioned bed key. •Over the side doors are rude ex vote paintings, representing wonderful res? ones from peril by Water through inter, cession to Sfce. Anne, Over the altar is a picture of the saint by Le Biun, the eminent French artist, and the side altars contain paintings by the Franciscan monk Xiofranopis, who died in 1(555. Hung upon a decorated ped- estal is a handsome cval frame or reli- qnary like a large locket, surrounded with garnets, and having in its center a rich oross of pearls. Besides this, yon see the collection of bones said to be the relics of tho saint, consisting of a piooe of one finger-bone, obtained in 1668, by Bishop Laval, from the chap-'. tei 1 of Carcassonne, and which was! first exposed to view on the 12th of Maroh, 1670. In another case there is a piece of bone of tho saint, ob- tained in 1S77, bat the Eademptorist Fathers, who have charge of the mjssion, do not know to what part of the body it belongs. The bones of tjre saint do not appear tp differ in gloj^from those of a sinner. The church also claims to oivh a piooe of the wue oross upon whioh our Savior dicd/and a piece of stone from the foundation of the house in which Ste. Anno lived, brought from France in 187)9. Also there may bo seen a superu chasuble, given by Anne of Austria, jinother of Louis XIV., ani some silvericrucifixes. Nothing, hoffever, will excite more curiosity thajr the great pyramid of crutches and aids to the sick and crip- pled, twenty-two, feet high, divided into sixties, and crowned by a very old gilt statue of the saint. The collection i-s very curious and principally home- made, comprising plain walking-stiokp, odd knobbed-fancies of sexagenarians, queer bandies, and padded arm and shoulder rests, made of pine, oak, birch, ash, hiokory, rook-elm—of all oommon and many novel dgsigns. A half-leg sup- port testifies to a reputed removal of; anohy-losis of the knee-joint by inter- cession to the saint. I have no desire tp sneer, but that there is some impo- sition and much imagination about these \miracles\ no impartial mind can doubt. One may carry his Charity to the verge of believing that implioit faith, in intercession to a saint, with mingled hope and fear and a strong determination to force a cure, may in some cases really throw off disease; bnt the power of mind and will bvev the body without any saoh intercession is familiar to every student, and i s no doubt an undevel- oped branoh of medical science. A coincidence is not a miraole, neither is this power of the will over tha body a miraole. Among the long list of re- puted miraoles, the following from a manual of devotion will be sufficiently suggestive.* \In the year 1664 a woman broke her leg. As the bone was frac- tured in four places it was impossible to sot it. for eight months she was un- able to walk, and the dootors gave up all hope of a cure. She made a novena in honor of the saint, and vowed that if she was cured she would visit the shrine every year. She was .earned to the church, and during the communion she put aside her orutoh.es and was cured at once.\ Sworn testimony is given as to instant recovery in diseases said by physioians to b e incurable by ordinary means, and among the peculiar favors accorded to the parish the temporal as well as spiritual is not forgotten. The Bishop of Montreal says that it is Ste. Anne who obtains for it \rain in the time of drought.\ . SPKPA* BEADIMCt. Victor Huuo an Immortality. I feel in myself the futuro,,!ife. t am like a forest which has been more than once cut down. The new shoots are stronger and livelier than ever. I am rising, I know toward the sky. The sunshine.is on my head. The earth gives me generous sap, hut heaven lights me with the reflection of un- known wprlds. You\ say the * soul is nothing but the resultant of bodily powers. 'Why, then, is my soul the more luminous when my bodily powers begin to fail. Winter is on my head .an3 eternal spring is., in roy heart.

It i s a fairy tale, and it is a history. For half a century lhave been writing my thoughts in prose,, verse, history, philosophy, drama, ro- mance, tradition, satire, ode, song—I ; have tried, all. But I feel that I have not said the thousandth part of what is in me. When I go down to the grave 1 : can say, like so many others, \ I have finished my day's work,\ but I cannot say \I have finished my life.\ My day's work will begin again the next morning. The tomb is not a blind alley; it i s a thor- oughfare, It closes in the twilight to open with the dawn* I improve every hour, because I love this world as my fatherland',.because the truth compels me, as i t compelled Voltaire, the human divinity. My work is only a beginning. My monument is hardly above its foun- dation;. I would be glad to see it mounting and mounting forever. The thirst for the infinite proves infinity.^ Man the Unsatisfied Animal.

Yettbere is still this difference between man and all other animals—he is the only animal whdse desirss increase as they are fed; the only animal that is neVer satisfied. The wants of every other living thingare uniform and fixed. Theox of to-day aspires to np more than did the ox when man fi*st yoked him, The sea gull of the English ohan- nel, who poises himself above the swift stream, wants n o better food or IPdging than the gulls who orroled round as the keels of Oi»3ar's galleys first grated on a British beach.

Pavel With Extinct Stars. In a recent soientifio paper, Sir .Tohn Lnbbeok says : Like the sand of tho sea, the stars of heaven have ever been used as effective symbols of number, and the improvements in our methods of observation have added fresh force to our original observations. Wo now know that our earth is but a fraction of one out pf at least 75,000,CO worlds. But this is not all. In addition to the luminous heavenly bodies, we cannot doubt that there aro oountless others, invisible to us from their great dis- tance, smaller size or feebler light; in- deed, we know that there are many dark bodies whioh now emit ho light, or comparatively little. Tim's in the case of Proeyoh, the existence of an invisi- ble body is proved by the movement of the visible star. Again, I may refer to the curious phenomena presented by Algol, a bright star in the head of Me- dusa. This star shines without change for two days and thirteen hoar*; then, in three hours and a half, dwindles from a star of the sec- ond to one of the fourth magni- tude; and then, in another three and a haU hours, reassumes its original bril- liancy, These changes seem certainly to indicate the presence of an opaque body which intercepts at regu- lar intervals part of the light emitted by Algol. Thus the floor of heaven is not only \thick inlaid, with patines of bright gold,\ but studdedalso with ex tinot stars—once probably as brilliant as our own sun, but now dead cold, as Helmbolz tells us that our sun itself will be some seventeen million years hence... _™.. .— ., ,.._ ..•%$ only .trte ttiey can roaie of acfdi' M$ (tot, .short'draped apron arid.bsclc rtioBal supplies o» additional ppportu» m$»ry,, mi * .i)0x-|ffe : fei^oaa,^ un- i nitios is. to multiply,,—$»$$f Qmu& Skinned Alive. Six rdbbers, armed to the teeth, made their appearance recently at the castle of a nobleman near Bares, in Hungary, and by threats Obtained a carriage and horses, with whioh th«y at once drove',| to the barracks of the Pandours, or Croat regiment. Here they PVerpow^ ered the quartermaster, bound him, and placing him in the carriage, hur- ried him off to a neighboring wood. Arrived here they suspended him to a tree, and, pulling out their long knives, proceeded to cut the skin from his body. They then sent back the Car- riage to its owner, telling the driver to make known that they had flayed the Pandour officer because, some time be- fore, he had caused a member of their band to be shot. Some Traits of Indian Life. Among tho many amiable traits whioh. distinguish the character of the Amer- ican Indians that of conjugal affection and fidelity is not the least remarkable. When a couple is newly married the husband, without saying a single word upon the subject, takes considerable pains to please his wife, and by rer peated proofs of his skill and abilities in the art of hunting to make her sen- sible that she can, be happy with him, and, that she will not want while they live together. At daybreak he will be off with his gun, and often by breakfast time re- turns home with a deer, turkey or some other game. He endeavors to muke it appear that it is in his power tp bring provisions home whenever he pleases ; and his .wife, proud of having such a good hunter for a husband; does her utmost to serve him and make herself agreeable. The more a man does for this wife's oomfort the more he i s es- teemed, particularly by the women j who will say this man surely loves his wife. \ In the year 1762,\ says Mr. Heoker- ? welder, in hisinterestingaoeotintof the American Indians, \ I was witness to a remarkable instance of the disposition of Indians to indulge- their wives. There was a famine in the land, and a sick Indian woman expressed a great desire for a mess of Indian corn. Her husband having heard that a trader at Lower Sandusky, Ohio, had a little, set off on horseback for that place, one hundred miles distant, and returned with as much corn as filled his hat crown, for which he gave his horse in exchange, and came homo on foot, bringing his saddle back with him;\ It very seldom happens that an Indian condescends to qaarrei with his wife or abuse her, though she has given him just cause. In such a ease the man, without replying or saying a single word, will take his gun and g o into the woods and remain there a week or perhaps a fortnight, living on tho meat he has killed, before he re- turns home again.well knowing he oan- not infiiot a greater puniahment on his wife for her conduct to him than by absenting himself for a while, for she is not only kept in suspense, uncertain whether he will return again, but is soon reported a bad and quarrel- some woman; for, as on these oooasions, an Indian doss not tell his wife on what day or time ho will return, .which he never fails to do when on good terms, she i s at once put to shame by her neighbors, who, soon suspecting something, do not fail to put such'ques- tions as she cannot answer. When at length he does return she endeavors to let him see by 'her attentions that she has repented, though neither speak to caoh other a single word on the subject of what has passed; and as his children, if he has any, will on his return hang about him and soothe him with their caresses, ho is, on their account, ready to forgive, or at least not to say anything unpleasant to their mother. If these traits in the conduct of the untutored Indians in domestic life put the manners of more oivilized nations to the blush, how muoh more severe is the reproach to sooial life contained in the following account: \In the yoar 1771,\ says the author already named, \while I was residing on the Big Beaver, I passed by the doqr of an In- dian who was a trader, and had a quan- tity of goods in his house. He was going with his wife to Pittsburg, and they were shutting up the house. As no person remained in it during their absence this shutting was nothing moro than putting a large hominy pounding block outside the door to keep it olosod. As I was looking at the man with at- tention, while he was so employed, he addressed me in these words : \ 'See, my friend, this is an Indian lock that I am putting on my door.' .\ 'Well enough,' I answered; ' but I see you loave much property in tho house; are yon not afraid those articles will ba stolen while you are gone?' \ 'Stolen I By whom ?' ' * 'By the Indians, to be sure.' \'No no,'he replied; ' no Indian would do such a thing; and unless a white man or white people should hap- pen this way, I shall find all safe on my return. V Cleaning HOTSPS by Steam A machine which cleans horses by steam is in use in horse railroad stables in New York city. A description of the machine says : Its standard rate is one hundred horses in ten honrs, but yosierday it oleaned 122 between 7:30 A M. and 5:40 p ii, with ah hour's intermission for dinnor. To test it, extra speed was put on, and one horse was actually cleaned in one minute and fifteen seconds, and mOre thoroughly than by the ordinary process. Tbe horse is led under a bar, fr„m which depend on each side of him arms with universal joints. Turning on the arms are brushes a foot in chv oumferenoe, These are revolved by steam through the arms and cross-bar at an ordinary rate of SOO revolutions a minuto, which Can bo increased to 1,000. A man on each side takes hold of tho arm Close to the brush and applies tbo brush to the horse. The steam that whirls the brush makes a noise a good deal like the hissing of a hostler. The universal joints allow the arms nn i brushes to b e moved in any direotion : Beginning at the head^ the men move the brush along the sidos, back and belly, and down the legs of the horse to the feet. A cloud of dust arises in the air, and in two minutes the hoiae looks like a different creature. The horses were a little nervous.at first, but after a few seconds ail appeared to be pleased with the operation. During a week of fog in London the. mortality increased from th« usual rate i of 22 per. 100 to 85.8 per iQO. Something* in the Eye.

A New Jersey farmer reports that a dressing Of eight bushels per acre of sait to land badly infested with white grtibs enabled him to raise good crops of corn for three yoars past, which was impossible previous to this applica- tion, H. H. Malisonwrites v|o the Pmilti-y Monthly: «'I believo it is not generally 'known among poultry fanoiersthat a few sprigs of a cedar bush mixed with hav or any kind of litter for hens' nests will keep them entirely free from hen lice.\ It is commonly 'known that feeding cows heavily wi'.h turnips imparts tho flavor of the turnip to the milk, but if given in modern'o qnantitios just after milking,- so that twelve hours shall olapse for the effect to pa33 off, little difficulty is experienced. A reader reqaests a remo.ly for excess- ive sweating in horses, This is usually caused by feeding too muoli corn, and hence tho best remedy is to diminish the quantity of cjr.u and vary the feed as much art possible; H >me horses, hewover, are constitutionally snbjoot to sweats. There is no better and surer way of killing young trees than to expose the roots to tho wind, which dries them out very rapidly. Mako a note of this, *nd if you have any trees to transport, bosure to have tho roots thoroughly covered with blankots or something as effectual. This precaution may save you tho life of scores of trees.

Of the reasibility of the enterprise there was no doubt, as i t had been Shawn that the chalk formation of the bed of the channel was impervious^ or abnost impervious,'to water. The tunnel would be twenty-four feei wide by ninotoen feet high barrel-shaped, and lined with briok, which, however, ! would hot touch the upper part of the ohalk roof, but leave a space between so as to allow whatever water might leak through to escape tp tho bottom. The highest part of the tunnel would be in the middle of the ohannel, and from this point the tunnel would deelino toward England and Erauee, so as to allow the water to flow off, At either end doep reservoirs would be dug to receive the water, : whioh would then be pumped up through the shafts' to the surface. The lecturer described the method of boring : and said that thirty-six feet was bored every day. The groat incon- venience that was being, experienced and whioh would become more serious, was the bad ventilation, and the meth- ods that were employed for ventilating the St, Oothard and other tunnels would be insufficient on aooonnt of the ureat depression of tho tunnel. When completed two groat air-pumps will bo oreeted, one to pump air in and the other tp othanst it. ,i**- •*-• TIIP Division of the States. Tho old conventional division of the States of the Union into Eaotern, MjoV die, Southern and Western continues, notwithstanding tho great increase of population Westward and tho conse- quent shifting of tho lines. Chicago, once upon the outpost of the far North' west now speaks of the Northwest as being as far from her as she is from N«w York. But it is found con- venient to oontinuo the old grouping of States, not because it is aconrato, but beoause of the nbsenco of any other generally adopted* division desoriptivo of the looation of gronpa of them. Hen- ry Gannett, of tho census bureau, pro- poses a now clasuification based upon the natural lines of tho Atlantic ooant, the Mississippi volley and tho Kooky mountains, These aro sub- divided for groator convenience of classification as follows: (I) Tho North Atlantic States, comprising tha six NeW England State* and New York, New Jersey and 'Pennsylvania ; total, nine; (2) tho South Atlantio States, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia. West Virginia, North Carolina, Smth Carolina, Georgia and Florida, theso making eight, or, if wo count among them tho Distriot of Columbia as another unit, nine; (3) the North Central States, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. Michigan, Wis- consin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, D.ikota, Nebraska and Kansas, making eleven ; (1) the South Central States, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Tounessei\ nod Kentucky, making sevoD, or with Indian Terri- tory as another unit, eight; (5) the Western States,now mostly Territories, but reckoning i n Montana, Idaho, Wash- ington, Oregon, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexioo, Arizona, 0tah, Nevada and California, eleven in all. This is much betk-r than the existing plan, but so great is tho power of habit that it will be difficult to have this i:'.i«aifioa- tion adopted as a aubititute f^r one in use commonly for generations.— Chi- cago Times. Mr. Lohgfcf ow and Children. Mr. LDngfollow had a peculiar gift for ingratiating himself into tho good- ' will of childran, and always showed a keen appieciation of their bright speeohes. He was one day walking in a garden with a little five-years maiden who was fond of poetry and occasion- ally \madeup some'\ herself.^ \I too am fond of poetry,\ he said to ber v \ Suppose yOn give me a little of yours this beautiful morning?\ \Think cried he afterward to a friend who tells tho story, throwing up' his hand, his eyes sparkling with morrimont, \third? What her answer was; She said, ' Oh, Mr. Longfellow, it doesn't always Come wi.en you want it.' Ah, me, how true, how true,l ! ' Several months later the friend and tho lit- tle girl called at thi» poet's homo. After showing his little friend many things of interest in his study, and especially delighting himself at her amazement on telling her ho \sup- posed tho Anoient Mariner came out of the inkstand upon his table\ (it onoe belonged to Coleridge), he said in a low tone, as if thinking aloud: \It dbpsn'fc always oome when you Want iti\ Monnfnlns Under the Enitli. Observations in the St. Gdthard tun-- pel show that the rate of inorease of internai temperature is slower there than beneath plain countries and slowest where the mduntain is highest. This should not be the case, perceptibly, were the earth cooling as t, uniform solid. Assuming these ratestobe uniform, and allowing for the cold due to the eieva- tion, it is easy t o calculate the depths at Which any particnlartomperature wonliS bo reached, If there be a molton nu- oleus, its aurliioe Bliould be a surface oi uniform temperature, But the depth at whioh atohrperaturoof fusion can be reached will be found far greater under the mountains than under the plains. Hence it is argued that the solid crast must have protuberances below an- swering to the mountains abovo* \ Alia: Wc . Bonn Boi SothJ Etti And i Btn JFor tl •BB .
