In her jocose manner, she said she just "wished to test me; young • men require testing, but you musn't think me severe, Samuel, ' and while she smiled at me merrily, she watched me from the sides of her eyes.

The spring is upon us, and with it comes a number of practices, more or lass injurious to humanity, but as regular in their attend- ance upon the season as is the sun itself. In these days of prohibitory amendments there, are some things that are in need of such treatment that have not been mentioned, and among these is the skipping-rope. Let as have an edict against this destroyer of youth. Every year brings its list of victims to this pernicious praotice facetiously eailed sport. Every year aids t'o lengthen the list of women who have been uondemned to a life of invalidism by this skipping-rope busi- ness. Science has decided that the exercise has only evil effects so why is it not sensi- ble to protect the little ones who cannot eons. prebend the risk that they run in practicing it, by interdicting, its manufacture and sale? It is reasonable, and will meet with a grate- ful support from parents and guardians,— [Boston Home Journal. Monday last was the twenty-fourth mini- vereary of the death of President Lincoln' and on the previous Saturday, Mr. John P. Usher. who was Secretary of the Interior from Januaary, 1863, to March, 1865, died at the University hospital in Philadelphia,. There are now only three survivors of Lin- coln's Cebinet, namely, Simon Cameron, who was his first Secretary of War, Hugh Mc- Culloch, who became Secretary of the Treas- ury in March, 1865, and James Harlan, who succeeded Mr. 'Usher, but did nob begin his duties until after Andrew Johnson became President. it is peobable that the Barye exhibition in New York to aid tbe fund for a monu- ment to that sculptor in Paris will be defer- red till the Autumn in order to make it worthy of the interest that collectors in the United States have shown in his work.

But I am sure that, in enlichtened Amerion you do not lido so much as we do bare." Familiar as I am with Count Tolatoin the- ories, this WAS a brand-new one to me. I thought of overal answers. Bleyelea I re looted as a suegeetionbeoause the pltysical labor aeeras to be counterbelthoed by the cost of the steel ateed. I also restrained myself from saying that we were coming to look upon horses as a rather antiquated, Blow and unreliable mode of locomotion. I did nob care te destroy the Count's admiration for American ways too suddenly and ruth- leerily, so I seid : "1 think that people ride more and more, with us, every year. If they do not ride even more than they de, it ie because we have not these thoueands of delightful and cheap oar- riages and sledges. And, how are people to get about, how are burdens to be carried, how ia the day long enough, if one goes everywhere on foot? Are the horses to be left to people the earth, along with the ani- mals which we now eat and which we must give up eating ?" "That will regulate itself. Ibis only those who have nothing to do who have no time to do it in, and must be carried, in all haste, from place to place. Busy people always have time for everything." And the Count proceeded to develop this argument; She foundation, of course, was the same as for his other doctrines—the dependence on one's self, freeing others from bondages to one's wants and whims. The principle is excellent; but it would be easier for mod of us to resiat the temptation to do other- wise on a desert island than to lead such a Robinson Crusoe and physical enoyclopedie existence in a city of to•day, And this is almost the only argument which I felt cap- able of offering in opposition. Thus we discussed, as we wahred along tbe streets of the White (China) Town. When the sidewalk was narrow the Count took to the gutter. And so we came to the old wall and the place where there is a per- ennial market, which bears various names— the Pushing Market, the Louse Market, and so on --and which is said to be the resort of thieves and receivers of stolen goods. Strangers always bit upon it the first thing. We had ventured into its borders alone, had chatted with a cobbler, inspected the com- plete workshop on the sidewalk, priced the work—real, artistic, high-priced jobs were worth 30 10 kopeks"—had promieed to fetch our boots to be repaired with tacks and whipoord—" when they needed it "—and had received an unblushing appeel for a bottle of vodka in which to drink the health of ourselves and the cobblers, With true feminine faith in the efficacy of a man's presence, we now enjoyed the prospeot of going through the middle of it, for its en- tire length. I related the cobbler epiode. Imagine a very broad street, extending for several blocks, flanked on one side by respectable buildings, on the other by the ' old, battlemented oily wall, crowned with straggling bushes, into which are built tiny houses with a frontage of two or three win- dows, and the tyro inories so low toa.t one fancies that one could easily touch their roofs, Theee last smile real old Moscow ith heir odd Warm( of mond) cote and fashlopable menden mid ae advertieement of black sheepskins which prole° y. room,' ble a rudely painted turtle.
