What do you think of the daughter of the Govern- or of a province who was sent south by her family, to be out of the way of.restless spirits with whom she came into sympathetic con- tact in Moscow, working her way as cabin boy to Varna? She there entered a hotel as "boots," stayed some time, and, when she had money enough to buy a suit of clothes suitable to her sex, took service as a nursery. maid in a family about to start for England. When there, she was engaged as a nursery governess in a noble family, and was taken to the country -seat of some cousins of her own, high in the English peerage. But they had no idea who she was. As soon as she had saved a small sum she came to Paris, and, before she could find a lodging, she used to pass her nights in a casual asylum. Being a person of firstc-lass education, she now prepares girls wanting to be admitted to the new high schools. The place where she resides is a big loft over a cart.maker's shed, which has been fitted up as a dormitory and living•room for about twenty studentesses. Another loft serves as a refectory, where meals are cooked at a large stove. .Each studentess takes a turn at cooking.

Especially is this the case of pensile birds, that suspend their habitations on branches, sometimes hanging them over the water. The weaver-bitd, which embraces several varieties, is one of the most ingenious of the pensile birds. It generally hangs its nest on a twig over the water, and so low down that if a monkey attemps to steal the eggs, which it is apt to do, the twig bends with its weight and a cold bath is the consequence. The Mahali weaver -bird of South Africa is a very small bird with an ambition to live to build it fcr itself. The shape of the nest matters, there would be no difficulty. is similar to an oil flask, but of course greatly magnified in dimensions, and very rough on the outside. The sociable weaver birds unite their efforts, and make a kind of thatched roof under which, or rather in which, they build their nests. Sometimes this structure is ten feet square. Each nest is shut out from every other, although all are under the same roof, and while the whole com- munity join in building the roof, each pair builds its own nest. The commencement is interwoven with the branches of the trees the whole structure being neat and compact.

Sometimes it builds several nests ' and glues them together, leaving an opening between them like a gallery. The lanceolate honey-eater builds a /vat in the shape of a hammock, and suspends it by the ends to a small twig. It is made of grass and wool mixed with the down of certain flowers. This nest is very deep and eomfortable, and may probably have sug- gested to man the hammock. The tailor -bird, which is o, native of India, is quite expert in sewing. It makes along nest of leaves. which it sews together with the Aber of a plant, piercing holes in them with its beak, In the hollow formed, it de- posits a quantity of cotton, thus preparing soft, warm nest for its young.

It is possible that this may be the true version of the story ; but it is more likely that the man was flung down by his master, with deliber- ate purpose, to secure by his death the sta- bility of the spire he had erected. A Remorseless Murderer. The story of several recent Continental murders has done much to disabuse people's minds of the notion that murderers invari- ably suffer remorseful tortures after com- mitting their crimes. How absured this idea is may be seen from the numerous re- ports of the latest Viennese tragedy—the assassination of Frau Pleier, aged twenty- one, by her youthful husband. Just three weeks had passed since Barbara and Joseph Pleier were wedded. The green.eyed mon- ster soon laid hold of Joseph, who, suspect- ing his bride of carrying on an amorous in- trigue with a friend, promptly resolved to kill her. DROPPED HER INTO A STREAM. On the night of Easter Sunday, on their way home from a little excursion, the venge- ful Joseph persuaded his wife to crossa mill- stream with him. While on the bridge he suddenly drew a bread knife fromhis pocket, stabbed her in the throat and dropped her body into the water. Having accomplished his purpose, Joseph coolly went home to bed and slept comfortably till five o'clock in the morning. When he rose he put on his holi- day clethes and went for a stroll in the Pra- ter. There he visited half a dozen concert halls, had a laugh at a theatre, inspected the menagerie and took a good dinner. TRIED HARD TO GIVE II/M0E05 11P. On the same evening, having digested his meal and exhausted the pleasure of the Pra- ter, he calmly walked up to a policeman and informed him that he had committed a mur- der. It took some time to persuade the skeptical officer that he was not being made the victim of a practical Eastertide joke. At lest, however, not wishing to disoblige Joseph, he walked him off to the station. There he now lies awaiting trial. His appetite is as good as ever. Court scandals are just now rampant itt Austria. The squabbles of the Crown Prince and Princess., which lately resulted in the latter almost threatening to secure a separation, are said to have been satiate°. torily adjusted. Prince Rudolf will join the Princess at Laekin and both will go to London to attend the Queen's joilee.
