A Gra hio Comparison.
An ineide t occurred in the battle of
Franklin wh`ch 1 have never seen in
print. Tha sanguinary battle was at
its height, as, d now and then there was
a soldier wh would not face the music,
auk -holding to the idea that dista,nce
lends endia tinent OD. all such occa-
▪ sions. would exhibit his faith in the
idea by tali a leg bail for the rear.
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 flyin son.of Mars took no notice
of the COM a.nd. t
Halt, 1 SD,, and go back to your post.
The soldiar paid no attention to him.
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. B ,
let him go, and, After
the battle, told the incident as a good

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

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,

Increase .of the Human Race.
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.

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.
