REUNITED AFTER FORTY
. YEARS.
A SORT OF ENOCH ARDEN WITH A
HAPPY ENDING.
A. remarkable case of separation
of-busbaud and wife, and their corn-
ing together again after fully forty
years, came to light yesterday in the
city of St. Louis. The couple are
now in the city alive and Well,
tal-
hough each believed the other
dead for many years. The history
of the case runs as follow : In
1847 Theodore Flotow and his wife
left Bavaria to seek their fortune iu
this country. They were then a
youog couple and felt coufideut of
achieving suaceeta in the United
States. ' They landed at New
Orleans, and Flotow being a black-
stuith by trade, opened a shop at
once and went to work with energy
to support his wife and young
daughter. After two years Flotow
found himself penniless with no
prospect of improving his condition.
The'. California gold fever was rag-
ing about this time, and, in a fit of
.desperation he couchided to leave
his family and start across the plains
to the land of promise in search of
better luck and prosperity. He did
not tell his wife, expecting, it is
said, to call them out there as soon
as he found himself well situated.
Ho experienced some hard licks,
and it was a long time before he
could make more than a hare living
for himself.
In the meantime his wife, who
had waited for months and menthe,
concluded that he was dead, and
left New Orleans. She went to
several places, working for the sup-
port of herself and child, and in a
few years met and married a Ger-
man named Lohenhofer. They
came to this city in 1853 and lived
happily together uutil a few years
ago, when Lohenhofer died, leaving
' his wife and family In moderate eh:-
cnnistances. Since then the widow
Lohenhofer has been in St. Louis.
Her daughter by the first husband
also married, and she, too, is a
widow, residing in St. Louis.
A short time ago Mrs. Lohenho•
fer learned through a German min-
ister living at Murphyaboro, that
Flotow, her first husband, was still
alive aud in very good circum-
stances, so far as the world's goods
were concerned, ;Are. Lohenhofer
was greatly surprised at the informa-
tion, but concluded to meet her
husband without delay. A corres-
pondence was beguu, and a few
days ago Flotow came hero from
California. He is seventy-two years
of age, and Mrs: Lohenhofer sixty-
nine, and to lay that the meeting
between the old couple was touch-
ing would be drawing it mild. It
svas extremely pathetic.
Flotow had a strange story to re
late. He, too, had been married
again, thiukiug that his first wife
was deed. He said that when ho

THE RACES OF MANKIND.
THERE ARE SEVENTY-TWO OF THEM
EXISTING NOW—ALI, CAME
FROM ASIA.
M. de Quatrefeges1 the leading
French ethuolog.st, in presenting
the second part of his Introduction
to the Study of 'theHuman Races
tf) the academy of sciences, has
given an interesting summary of
his general conclusions with regard
to the origin and distribution of
mankind.
Neglecting the minor d ire ren
he estimates that there are no fewer
than sevuty-two distinct races in
the human spezies. All these
descend or breech off from three
f u nda men tal types—the black, the
yellow, and the white—which had
their origin in the great central
mass of northern Aida, which is
thus the cradle of mankind Rep-
res4ntatives of these different types
and races which sprang from them
are still to be found there.
The whites according to M. de
Quatrefages, appear to have origi-
nated on the west of the central
mass, the yellows on the north, and
the blacks .on the south. The
whites' extended westward and
northward, giving birth to three
• sewn lary types, the Finnish. the
Semitic, and the Aryan, if we
except the Allophyles, which form
a separate group. Their area of
distribution is continuous, tads
that of the yellows, because of the
extensive land ;surface .of the Euras
fan cottinent. The yellows spread
eastward and crossed into America.
The whites and yellows chucked or
blended with eaoh other, producing
many varieties of man. ,The blacks,
or negro type, which originated on
the south of the central mass, was
forced by. the nature of the conti-
nent, and probably by the attacks
of the whites and yellows, to go
south into Africa and east into the
Indian archipelago, or Melanesia.
The prolo-Semites arrested their
distribution in the north of Africa,
and the mixture of the two races
gave rise to the negroid populations.
In the center and South: ,pf Africa
the blacks continued in their ethnic
purity until the infiltration of other
races frotn Europe aud'the north of
Africa in modern times. Thoeo
whiCh remained in their original
home became blended with the
whites and yellows, giving rise to
the dravidian populatione which
pass by shades into three fundamen- .
tat types.
• As for the Allophyles, represent-
ed by the race of Cro-Magnou, they
occupied parts of Europe and north
Africa,
from which they extended
to theCanaries. The three funda.
nientail types also found themselves
itt Oceania ; the Allophylian whites
occupying Polynesia, the blacks
Melanesia, the yellows Malasia.
The latter were, according to M. de
Quatrefages, tho last to come into
the maritime world.
The peopling of America dates
from the quaternary period, and is
due to • migrations of different
types—Allophylic white and yellow,
blendina the local quarternary
races, whichialso belouged to the
yellow type. Europe, since the
tertiasy' ages, has received only
Allophyliau whites, Finns, and -
Aryans. The number of races now
existing in a pure state is -exceed-
ingly, restricted, if, indeed, there;is a
single one which can be accepted
as such. Perhaps some little groups,
protected by their isolation, such es
the Mincopies, may show an identi-
ty of characters arresting their
ethnic homogeneity.
A BOOK AGENT'S GREAT
SCHEME.
Said a book agent recently :—"I
was a book fiend ten years or more
before the idea dawned upou me,
and now I make more in a week
than I ever did before in a month.
I take out religioua books only, and
never ono that costs less than $5 or
$6. On striking a town I get from
the directory a list of the parsons—
not for the purpose of working
them, for T don't go nigh them.
Thou I ea it. down the address of
the trustees, in case the directory
happens to give thorn ; but if it
does not, I make a round of the
janitors, to get from them the Dairies
of the richest men in the cougrega-
tion. I spend time enough in this
preliminary labor to get a route
coinprehonsively laid out.
"Next, I toll to one and another
the same story—that his minister is
dying for the book, but can't afford
to buy it. The wives and daugh•
tere of the church pillars. are easier
to capture than the brethren: It's
the biggest thing in the whole
history of book canvassing ; and
the beauty of it is that the trick
seldom gots exposed. When the
pastor receives the book he's tickled,
and the donor is tickled, and it's all
right."

the truthful mariner, as be knocked

bounced clean out into the „lake.
Well, the captain he see hint fall,

a bystander, •
"Welt, Jim was the champion

dead now, poor fellow, but Jim
was a hose on throwing quoits. I
tell you quoits were a great game
them days. Every village had a
club, and the boys on the farms
used to throw hose shoes. It was
somethiug like baseball in these
titues, although I never could see as
muck fuu in baseball as I could see

"Well, you dOn't seem to be."

CULTIVATING COLT COUR-
AGE.
A horse that is naturally courage-
ous way be made cowardly by abuse.
If he then recivos blows the fear of
them is upperuiost, and any un-
known noise is imagined to be a
coming hurt, to escape from which
is an uncontrollable impulse. The
man who abuses his horse is often
rewarded by the destruction of his
property and injury to himself, the
reeult of runaways. But when the
courage of the colt is developed, it
is not nearly so likely to run away,
though he be hampered with blinds
or abused by a cruel master, and it
is hardly too meth to assert. that if
properly treated he will never ruu
away. -Too often the training of
the colt has an effect contrary to
thecultivation of its courage. For-
getting that temper is the most
valuable quality of the horse—its
owner tries to 'break" its temper
to cow the 'anima). The horse
should be trained, not broken ; the
trainingrequires firmness mixed
with much kindness. The man
who has no control over hie own
temper and whose judgment is
warped by anger is not 'fit to train
a colt. As abuse will make it cow-
ardly, so kindness will make it
courageous. The basisof courage
is confidence, and the first point is
to secure the confidunce;of the colt.
The next is to make the colt sure of
his surroundings, watch closely, and
whenever he shows fear of anything
let Attu moll it. If he has confid-
ence in his trainer, this will not be
difficult. If he shies at a stump or
rock, ride or drive him up to it.
drive him nearer end nearer the
cars, until ho is tio longer afraid of
thorn. Have the whistle sounded
when his head is turned towards it,
and repeat this till he ceases to
start at 'the 'sound. Handle his
limbs and touch them with a strap
till he no longer shrinks.
The courageous horse, the one with
the spirit trained, not btolien, is the
horse that does the most work. It
does not lag; to drive it is a pleas e.
It does not give up and leave you

THE HERO AND THE HEN.
A. little more than three hundred
years ago there were terrible time+)
in France. A religious war wise
going ou, and all over the country •
there were battles and sieges and
many cruel things being done, and
a great many good people,lost their,
lives. Nu oue kuoWs all the misery.
it cost, for often a family would be
divided, part being Catholic, who
believed iu the Pope, and a portion
Protestajot, whq did not believe in
the Pope at all.
After a while hostilities ceaeed,
and a hollow pence was patched up
betweeu the contending parties.
Hollow enough and false it was,
indeed, on one side. The Hugue-
nots, as the Protestants were called
for many years, uow numbered
some of the bravest and noblest
men in France among their chiefs
Two or three of the royal family
were iuclined in their principles,
but their most devoted adherent
was the Grand Admiral, Gaspard
de' Coligni. He was now about
sixty years old, a gray-haired, grave,
benevolent nobleman, who, you
would think,coirldnave no enemies.
But u good 'matt is always hated by
the ',evil disposed, and the pious
Coligui,. who at one time had saved
France in a great battle, had two,
bitter and deadly enetnies. One of
these was the Duke of Guise, a
teakless young nobletnau of twent.y-
twu ; the other w48 the Queen's
mother, Catherine de Medici, a
selfish and ambitious woman of
fifty five. These two persons, with
several other leaders, devised a
.horrible plot, by whichAhey hoped
to get rid of Colegni. This was
nothihg loss than toorganize a
band of soldiery, and, ,at • a stated
time, when everybody was unsus-
picious and asleep, let thein loose
upon the populace with. orders to
8laughter all the Huguenots they
found.
Everything was favorable for
carrying this horrible scheme into
execution, and one ,summer night,
25th, August, 1472, the massacre of
St. Bartholomew began. It was a
fearful, fearful time. Men, women,
and little children were butchered.
Almost the first person killed was
Coligni. He had been shot at and
wounded two days beforeby some
one who evidently meant to kill
hitP, and the admiral was ill with
'a sort of fever consequent from the
wound. When the first alert» 'was
heard, his chaplain, M. Merlin,
was .with him reading the Scrip-
tures. A number of persons rushed
into the chatuber, announcing that
the court was full of soldiery.
"Say rue a prayer M. Merlin,"
said Coligui. "I commit my soul
to the Saviour."
In a few moments the mob was
heard coming up • the stairway.
"Save yourselves my friends!"
cried the aged admiral. "You
will have time. As for me they
can only shorten my life a few
days."
The good clergyman and the
others ran up stairs aud gut out of
the house through the :tiling of the
roof. Each fled a different way.
Merlin, with his Bible under his
arm clambered over the roofs of
the houses in a direction from the
Louvre. In attempting to jump
from one to another in the dark-
ness, hie foot slipped, and ho fell
several feet, lodging in a hay
loft.
He was not hurt by the fall, and
when he saw where he was he con-
cluded that it was a fortunate acci-
dent, and was thankful at having
stumbled upon this place of safety.
No one would think of looking for
him there : the Lord had guided
his footsteps. But it was a long
while before he ceased to tremble.
On every side ho could hear the
cries of the brutal soldiers, "Kill,
kill the Huguenots I" and every-
where were the screams and groans
of the mbrdered and dying Protes-
tants. It made his blood run cold
to think of the wicked work that
was being done. M. Merlin had
kept his Bible with him as he fled,
and, as he lay there in the hay -loft,
wo can imagine him turning over
the pages and comforting himself
with the precious promises in the
sacre.I word. The hours passed
slowly, and he began to grow
hungry, but did not dare to leave
his retreat for fear of discovery,
which, of course, meant death.
Starvation etared him in the face if
lie remained there ; however, he
proferred to trust in God's mercy
rather than man's.
As he lay there, exhausted and
almost helpless, M. Merlin heard a
slight rustling upon the hay like
that of some object stepping care-
fully over the loft. Had his
enemies tracked him thither, and
were they going to capture him

"Surely," thought M. Merlin,
"the Lord is feeding me, for he
hath sent his fowls to provide. for
his servant." And he crawled -very
carefully guy of the hay, and .crept,
to the nest, which was near by. In
it were three shining white eggs.
Ho broke the shells of two and ate
them, leaving one for a nest egg;
hoping that Biddy would come
again.
And Biddy did come the next
day sure enough, and laid another
egg, much to Merlin's great joy and
need, for he was very hungry.
Three days he remained concealed
in the hay -loft, and each day his
friendly visitor laid au egg for his
dinuer. • This was all the food he
had, but it saved, hint front starva-
tion. On the night of the third
day he managed to get safely away,
and found a sure haven tu the

THE GREATEST BRIDGE IN
THE. WORLD.
The . bridge across the Firth of
Forth at Queen's Ferry, Scotland,
now approaching completion, is a
work of much magnitude, and pre-
sents so many points of novelty,.
that it bus attracted the atteuliou of
of the whole engineering world.
As regards size and weight no -
existing bridge at all approaches -
the Forth bridge. There are two
spans, each 1,700 feet long; the
width of the bridge at the piers is.
120 feet ; there is a clear !Medway.
for navigation at high water of 150'
feet; the highest, part of the bridge
above high water is 360 feet andt
the depth of the water in the mot--
tre of tho channel is 210 feet..
With this depth the bridge could
never have been built had •it not
been for iio island in the- middle.
of the Forth. •
• The train weight that will be pile
upon the bridge will be small com-
pared withAhe wind pressure -need-
ed to be overcome,and to resist wind
the lofty columns oyer the piers
are 120 feet apart at the baso
and thirty three at the top. As
fornicating an iidea' of the enormous.
force which the cantilevers are
capable of resisting it may be said.
that a pull of 5,000 'tons would be'
needed to tear assunder the top ties,.
Tho greatest pull from passing
trains can be only 2,000 tons.
The bridge is looked upon as a
railway necessity. Indeed it will
furniEfh the miming link in a great
chain of communication throughout
the United Kingdom.
When we read of such structures
and know that trains reach.a speed
of sixty nines an hour, we cannot
but • smile at what the staid old
Quarterly Review said in 1825
'We trust that Parliament will, in
all railways it may sanction,' limit
the speed to eight or nine mile an
hour, which is as great as can be

Absurd stories accounting for the
mole having no eyes are frequently
told children. They have their
origin in an Indian' legend. Thiss
states that a Dog -Rib Indian once
chased a squirrel up such a very
high tree that the little animal
escaped in the sky. Not to be
daunted, he set a Spar° for the
squirrel and descended the tree.
Next day the sou was caught, in the
trap anti darkness was the inimedi-
ate result. Suspecting the cause,
but not daring to liberate the sun
himself, the crafty Indian sent up
several animals to release the strange
captive. One by one these were
burned up, until at last a mole was
commissioned. This cute little
creature burrowed out throngh the
sky, and, gnawing the cords in the
share, liberated the source of light,,
and the darkness ceased. But as
the sun was making its escape the
mole thrust its bead through the
holo, and the sight of the gun so
close caused it to go blind aud be-
queath its deformity to its descend-
ants.

A French woinau invented one of
the most original inethodsaof deal-
ing with a refractory child ever re-
vealed to the public. She fastened
-
on the hat of her eight-year-old
daughter, who had been naughty, a
placard'inscribed with the words :
"Mademoiselle is a thief and a liar,"
and walked her through theastreets.
It took a police man to reign° the
lady from the mobbing of an indig-
nant, crowd.
