These cases ere getting too numerous toward the c ose of the battle and Col. B—, of our rigade, was sent back to the rear to inter ept those seeking for safety and return t ena to their respe?tive posts of duty. Col. B - said. he hailed one fel- low who wa making tracks for some place of safety with all the energy of despair. . Halt,•I say, and return to your com- mand..

The eolond now became exasperated, i and yelled oat: If you doi't turn aid go back to your command, I will shoot you, sir. Without pausing in his flight, the sol- dier yelled b ck at him: Shoot and be hanged.!,What's one bullet to a b sketful ? Col.

Uouse1toid Departments are very good adjuncts to a newspaper in their way, when e4hted by a woman, but the male journal st who dabbles with the heavenly -in ired mysteries of cooking runs a fright al risk. The editor of the - - Weekly Pet luma Peavine started it column of hat kind recently, and a few days a terwards a, fierce look- ing female came into the office, care- fully conceal ng some objeet behind her apron. Are you the man that published that new and imrroved. way of making cur- rant cake? He said he was.

Ciaanace for Bridesmaids. As people ho have visited the thea- tre take out Of their memories, for a day or so, some Of the things that amused them, and 1s -ugh again, so young ladies huger loving y over the details of a wed- &Lig. It is t curious experience, life in a house full .f girls who have just left a marriage pa, ty. Their minds are full of the great theme; they tenderly re- cord each i cident ; they can think of nothing else ; and they tell each other a thousand times how the bride looked, and how she dropped her bmiquet, and who picked` it up again, and ' how her travelling dress became her. I Not ath- &wise than when, a covey being dis- persed, men go round and hoot the straggling birds, so admiri: rs .might easily win the hearts of the fair who are still hovering wistfully round the mem- ory of a wedding. Thus Iture has •provided chalices for brid.esin ids ; .and ali thus the superstition that it is unlucky to be often a bridesmaid is justified. For if a lady can survive heart -whole, and pass unscathed through these 'mo- ments of sympathy, it is certain that she never will be won. The -Broker of the Anent the late financial seandal in Paris, it may be interesting to state whence originated the intimate connec- tion between the Syndic des agents de change, M. Moreau, and th4 firm of Rothschild, which has been anew illus- trated by the event. The tory is a curious one, and was told to ne several years ago, as it had just taken .place. The offices of ' the brokers on the Paris Bourse, as it is well known i are only sixty number, and under State super- vision. M. Moreau had justlioright his, and had not yet aalarge practice, when a friend. of his, a well-known man on the 'Change, called one fine morning on -the famous Baron Rothschild, and ad- dressed him as follows: "lam a ruined man. The £15,000 I owe you I cannot pay." ' The Baron started on his nhair, and expressed his strong disapprobation of this piece of news. "Still," went on the fellows " there is some hope if you are willing to} subscribe to an arrangement." " I -have subscribed but tol much al- ready." "Never mind the subscription. I can procure a stock -broker for you who will execute your orders at half the usual conamission.' If you uccept my proposal you will be thus repaid ere long; if you don't, you lose the money.' The Baron accepted. Hall an hour later the man was in the prOateroom of NI. Moreau. I "Would you like to be stock -broker - in -ordinary to the Baron ?" The rising agent cle channs laughed heartily : "1 should rather think so." "Well, you must to somet1tiug for it. It means simply a fortune by giving you the key of the market. Would you undertake the job lat one-fourth the usual commission, 'giving to ; me a fourth, and one-half to the baron i?" The contract was struck. 11I. Moreau beCame a millionaire, and the head of his corporation. His friend retained the £15,000 which he had never lost, paid his debt withdub patrting With ai centime, and pocketed monthly a' hand- some cornmigsion-. That I call business. —London Truth. ' Shooting With .the Lo g *pow. It was on a long East In ia voyage in a French ship, that in pleasant evening some sailors were spi ning yarns as a pastime. One of them had been wrecked. The ship went d• wn under the crew, and sentthern sucld nly,afloat. He said : • After swimming ten hours, I felt my- self about going dowu, when I Saw a cask rolling about in the heavy Sea. I mounted it astride, and. Waited to see what would turn up: At the end of three days I su w a sail ;I it was a French ship. I saug out, Ahoy ship ahoy P 'Who are you the helm man sang out.

According to the moat recent calcula- tions--those.of Peterman—the popula- tion of the whole world is uow 1,424,- 000,000. It is well known that not a few thinkers have called in qiiestion the account of the origin of -iiijtinkind as given in the Biblical writin s, on the „arenud that it was limpossib e that hi the period in question so u any could have descended from two ncestors— Adara and Eve. This °tie tion, how- euer, Euler has undertaken lo meet, by showing that, in a process o doubling the -population from one • pai , it might amount to any conceivable n cmber. It has been laid down that a copulation can double itself in 25 years. It is true, that, if the population incre sed to its present pitch in 5,880 yea s, it may have doubled itself every 00 years. The inhabitants of the ea th would thus, in 200 yehrrs, approach 3,000,000,- 000; itt the same rate the di erence be- tween the birthrates and the eath rates would be nearly constant, although themselves varying widely.

Amen.—Christian at Work. A Oolo-rado Snake Story. Two old. hunters and guidsi-s met the other day in Denver, Col., and one of them told the following , story in the hearing of a news reporter: "Jim andI started out in the mountains early one mowing' after black -tailed deer. We had no luck up to noon, and then found ourselves on the side of a precipitous mountain. The trail was- wide and plain, and. we soon came to a sprieg that had burst out of the solid rock. Here we both stopped to get a drink. I used clip first and then handed it to Jim. He drank and stepped aside to take a look down the side of the moun- tain and in the valley. Ae he stood' thus his shoulders reached to a level with a shelf of the rock whiehprojected forward some little distance over the trail. As 1 rose up from the spring something attracted my attention to this rocky shelf, which was only a few inches from Jim's neck and exactly on a level therewith. To my horror I saw thereon an iranaense rattlesnake. The horrible reptile was coiled, his eyes were snapping, his forked tongue pro- truding and everything indicating an immediate spring: Jim stood perfectly stolid and utterly unconscious of the slightest danger. Any motion 011 his part, even flaslightest, I knew would be instantly fatal. What to do I could not think. I dared not call nor shoot. Everything depended upon his remain- ing perfectly still. After a second's re- flection I dropped softly down so as to be out of sight of the reptile. I then moved toward my unconscious friend. Breathlessly I watched him from fear every second he would make some slight movement.of the head or body, and any motion I knew meant death: Soon I was near enough to feel that I could get a firm hold. Without another thought or the slightest word or warning I then grasped Jim by the arm and side and brought him heavily down with a crash upon the trail and among the flinty rocks. As I did this I saw what seem- ed a flash of light dart out from the rocky shelf, which I knew to be the stroke of the reptile. But my friend's neck was not where the snake had heped, and Jim was safe." . "And what did. Jim say when you slung him down in that style?" asked one of the auditors. "He commenced cursing me itt the meanest sort of way," replied the Major, "till I made him stand up, and look at that shelf in the rock. When he saw that, and the snake as well,and saw too how near he had been_ to a horrible death, he turned arouud and took my hand, but he didn't•say anything more, because he Couldn't speak. But then we understood each other." Old Times in America. A half century ago, a large part of the people of the United States lived in houses unpainted, unplastered, and ut- terly devoid..of adornment. A well-fed fire in the yawning chasm of a huge chimney gave partial warmth to a single room, and it was a common remark that the inmates were roasting on one side, while freezing the other; itt con- trast, a majority of the people of the older States now live in houses that are clapboarded, painted; blinded, and com- fortably warmed. Then, the household furniture consisted of a, few plain chairs, a plain table, a bedstead made by the village carpenter. Carpets there were none. To -day, few are the homes, in city or country, that do not contain a carpet of some sort, while the average laborer by a week's work may earn enough to enable him to repose at night upon a spring bed. Fifty years ago, the kitchen dressers were set forth with a shining row of pewter plates. The farmer ate with a buck -handled knife and an iron or pew- ter spoon, but the advancing civilization has sent the platesand spoons to the melting pot, while the knives and forks have given place to nickel or silver- plated cutlery. In those days the uten- sils for cookinat'were a dinner -pot, tea- kettle, skillet,Dutch oven, and frying - pan; to -day there is no end. of kitchen furniture. The people of 1830 sat in the evening in the glowing light of it pitch -knot fire, or read their weekly newspapers by the. flickering light of a tallow dip; now, in city and village, their apartments are bright with the flame of the gas jet or the softer radiance of kerosene. Then, if the fire went out upon the hearth, it was re -kindled by a coal fro,na a neigh- . boring hearth, or by flint, steel, and. tin- der. Those who indulged in pipes or cigars could light them only by some hearth -stone; to -day we lignt fire and pipes by the dormant fire -works in the match safe, at it cost of one hundredth of a cent. In those days we guessed the hour of noon, or ascertained it by the creeping of the sunlight up to the "noon -mark'' upon the floor. To -day who doe i not carry a watch.? And. as for clocks, you may purchase.''."them at wholesale, by the cart -load, at sixty-two •cents apiece. Fifty years ago, how many lines were adorned with pictures? NOW inany are there now that do riot display a Print, engraving, aroma, or lithograph? How many pianos or parlor organsa-vere there then? Reed organs were not in- vented till 1840, and now they are in every village. Some yvho mayread this article will remember that in 1830 the Bible, the -alrnasiac, ancl the. few text -books used. in school were almost the only volumes of the household. The dictionary .was a volume four inches square and an inch and & half in thickness: In some of the country villages a few public- spirited men had gathered libraries con- taining from three to five hundred. vol- umes ; in contrast, the public libraries of the present, containing more than ten thousand volumes, have an aggre- gate of 10,650,000 volumes, not inelding the Sunday -school and private libraries of the country. It is estimated that al- together the number of volumes acces- sible to the public is not less than 30,- 0001000! Of Webster's and Worcester's dictionaries, it may be said that enough hare been published to supply one to every one hundred inhabitants of the United States.—May _Atlantic. URON EXPOSITOR.
