Humanitarians would be happier over the abolishment of the cudgel and knout lit the Russian penal system if liiure was not n. fifew provision for beating with birch reds up to 100 blows for "alight offenses and misde meanors." The moderate expectations of some mortals are suggested by an advertise ment In a London newspaper: "Dutch young lady, speaking English fluently, wants to give lessons m Greek, Latin, French, German, Euclid, algebra, his tory, In return for pleasant home In English family from middle of June till October." Thanks to the new immigration law, Priace Victor NaekaehldaM and his wife, Russian anarchist, whose expul sion from Franca was recently decreed, maj not come to the United States.

Suj knowledge is considered as practical port of a soldier's education as th ability to scale a wall. The empir owns many nata tori urns, equipped am sad for the sole purpose of teaching .Its recruits how to swim, complete!; accoutered with clothing, rifle, and aa munition. The emperor does well U making his soldiers swim. In time a war that ability might save a regl ment, or even a whole brigade, hourt of time on a forced march. Our wai department ought to take a leaf out a Germany's book, which on military matters is pretty complete and up ti date, aud teach - Americas scldlep, bow to swim. And, by the same token the States should see to it that swim mlng is part of the ci rriculum of its militiamen. For the Knowledge of t would be necessary only in times war, and in times of war the Stab regiments as woll as the regulars wil be in the field. Not many weeks ago a strike lnvolv ing several allied crafts took place ii Newark, under the direction of thi Masons' Union. It bade fair to spreat to other trades, and cause great lost and much 111 feeling. Some one pro posed arbitration, and it was finallj agreed that the union and the mastei unions should each prepare a Hat oi names from which the arbltratori should be selected. When it was foun that one mau was on both lists It wai voted to make blm sole arbitrator. Hi accepted, went into the case exhaue tively, rendered a decision that covere the minutest detail, both aides heartll accepted It, and the strike was endes at once. Thia arbitrator on whom mas ters and men relied for "absolute Jus tlce, so far as human Judgment conU define," the phrase is quoted from the letter of thanks signed by botl parties to the controversy, is the pas tor of one of the largest churches ii the city. Probably there are still lr Newark, as there are elsewhere, per sons who would like to make us think that "working men are done with th church." For the benefit of peoplt who hesitate to believe, we record thif cheering incident. College authorities and others lntei ested in education have recently been discussing ways and means of inter esting the students in the practical af. fairs of life. The young man In col lege who takes an Interest In politic is the exception rather than the rul and those who do study public ques tions devote more attention to theli theoretical than to their practical aide. One way to turn the at tention of the young men toward politics was recently suggested bj Andrew D. White, formerly president of Cornell University, and more re cently ambassador to Germany. H said that at the anniversary exercise of St. Andrew's University in Scotland a few weeks ago he sat beside An drew Carnegie, and spoke of the give I things waiting to be done in the Unit) ed States. "Name some of them," said Mr. Carnegie. The thing most need lng to be done, in Mr. White's opinion, is the education of young men for pub 11c service, Just as they are educated to be lawyers or physicians or electri cal engineers. He would have profes sorships and scholarships bearing dl rectly upon public affairs establishes In about tweuty-flve universities. Th subjects to be studied would be cons paratlre legislation, comparative ad ministration, international law, thl history of civilization and the blstorj of the United States. By means o; scholarships and professorships li these branches of study for whl;'j Mr. White thinks twelve or fourteei million dollars would be needed th country would soon have a group o young men capable of assisting I reforming many public abuses, an qualified to do effective service In tb routine administration of government A few af tha larger colleges have si ready made a start (n the direct loa) done. Tha desire to do public servlej must be fostered, and still more Imj portent, the ability to serve the publlj must he developed by such courses fil study aa Mr. White has proposed.

A. T. C-ittery, of Newcastle, defined the present policy of the British govern ment as a "reign of blood, beer and Birmingham." It is related that once when Punch printed a cartoon representing an Im aginary conversation between James McNeil Whistler and Oscar Wilde, Wilde wired Whistler: "Ridiculous; when you and I are together we never talk about anything except ourselves." "You forget," replied Whistler In a re turn telegram, "when you and I are together we never talk alout any thing except me." Henry tabouchere says that the sjieecbes of Ird Rosebery always re mind him of the description given by Prince Bismarck of a certain Prussian statesman: "At the first he would have an opinion, then he weakened it by self-contradiction, then again an objection to the contradiction occurred to him, until at last nothing remained. He was a clever speaker, but not In clined to action; indeed, he resembled an India-rubber ball, which hops, and hops, and hops, but more feebly every time, until it at last comes to a full stop." The Pullman Company has made a demand on F. P. Woolston, a promi nent Christian lCiideavorer of Denver, for fcJOO damages to the sleeper in which lie recently ma.li; bin bridal trip. It seems that the car was rap tured by Woolston's friends and deco rated in a unique manner. Men's and women' shoes and old horseshoe and banners and things were nailed to the windows of the Pullman sleeper, in side and out. Nails were driven into the car with as much abandon as if it had been u picket fence. When the deeper got back to Denver from Og den it is said that It looked as if it had been the target for a Catling gun. It was taken out of service and put in the shops, and now the Pullman Company is try!K to make Woolston pay for the repairs. While in Canada Ixird and Lady I.ansdowne pleased the Canadian peo ple by their friendly and unassum ing manners, which were in marked contrast to those of former Covernors General and their wives. It is related that at a garrison ball at Halifax the folonel of the regiment that was giv ing the dance came up to U'uly l-ans-dowue and said: "Iidy Laiix.lowne, won't you give me a dance, please? I'm tired of dancing with those silly little colonial girls. They have no style. I believe I'm engaged to one of them for the next dance, but yon might be kind enough to rescue rne." Lady Ianwlovne replied, in tones loud enough for everybody to hear, that the colonel was iir'U to associate w ith any decent people, clonlal or otherwise, and concluded: "If this Is the way you treat your guests, I will relieve you of the presence of one of them at once." Then she ordered her car riage and left the ball. MUCH VIRTUE IN AN ONION. Efficacy f the Pang-eat Vegetable Manifested in Various Way. The Idea of an onion cure may not strike the fancy of the esthetic; how ever, the experience of those who have tried It is that It works wonders In restoring an old-racked system to Its normal state again. There are three kinds of Joss in the onion cure, or three onion cures, as you may choose to put It. One Is a diet on onions. The other Is onion plasters. Ami the third Is onion syrup. It is claimed by those who believe In the onion cure that a bad cold can le broken up If the patient will stay Indoors and feed on a liberal diet of onions. It need not be an exclusive diet, but a liberal one. For instance, an onion cure breakfast Includes a poached egg on toast, three lable 8toOiirnl4 of rrlend onions and a ciip of coffee. Luncheon of sandwiches, nind- of Boston brown bre:id, butter ed and filled wiih finely chopped raw onions, seasoned with salt and pop pi r. makes the second meal on the schedule. For supper the onions may be fried as for breakfast and t-aten with a chop and a baked potato. The strange efficacy of onions is well known to the singers of Italy and Hps in, who eat them every day to Im prove the quality of their voices and keep them smooth. Onion plasters are prescribed to break up hard coughs. They are made of fried onions placed between two pieces of old muslin. The plaster Is kept quite hot until tbe pa tient Is snugly In bed, when It Is plac ed on tbe chest, to stay over night Onion syrup Is a dose that can be bought of any druggist, and Is claim ed by some to be uuequaled as a cure for a cold In the cheat. AH this Is probably quite true. For to be done np with onions, both Inside lad out, would be enough certainly to chase out asy salf-respectlng cold Table Talk. LAST OF THI SUCCANEERS. Trawto Fata of a Piratical Craw That Pat aa Bad ta Piracy. Aa lata as tha year IS2& the waters Idjaeeat to Parte Blco were Infested ry a Moadthiraty band af pirates laf it Cpamard named Coefrecinas. It vaa tha pre boast af tha buccaneer fef Oat tt Mtther gave aor aaked tsartor. Ia tare af the year smb- t X tioued Captain John Drake Sloat who twenty-one years later raised the American flag over California, was placed In command of the sloop of war Grampus, with orders to proceed to the West Indies and wipe the pi rates off the ocean. The Grampus cruised for some weeks without catch ing sight of any pirate vessel.' One moruiug while tbe sloop was lying at anchor In Ihe harbor of San Juan a man who had swum ashore from n merchant vessel captured by Confre cinas reported that the pirate brig was anchored in the Boca de Inferno (Mouth of Helli. an obscure harbor some .Killcs up the coast, waiting to attack a heavily laden schooner which was to st:il from Han Juan that very day. Confrecinas knew the Grampus well, so to make sure of his prey Cap;aiu Sloat placed n heavily armed cnuv and cannon loaded with grape on board the schooner and sallied forth. The pirates, unsuspecting any resist ance, bore down on the disguised ves sel with the black Hag ami skull and cross-bones at the brig's masthead. Not a move was made by Sloat and his crew until the vessels were almost alongside, when the marines arose from the deck and poured a deadly fire into the brig. Confrecinas rallied his men and for some time kept up a run ning light, showing great skill in manipulating his crippled vessel. He was finally forced to run bis brig ashore. Forty of the crew with the buccaneer chief were captured by waiting soldiers. They were taken to San Juan, court-martialed the next day and shot. Confrecinas was the last to die. When Ihey attempted to bind his eyes he threw the men aside, ridiculed the priest and exclaimed in a loud voice: "I have slain hundreds with my own hands and I know how to die. Fire:" He fell pierced by many bullets, the last and most bloodthirsty of the buc caneers of that region.- Harjter's Weekly. THEY DWELL IN CAVERNS. Kcnidcnt of Normandy liu Thelt ilouttcw in the C'lift. He have often heard of the cliff dwellers and are accustomed to think of them as a prehistoric race, the re mains of whose few scattered dwell ings are a matter of curiosity to tour ists and a prize to antiquarians. Few people know that at the present day there are whole communities in France whose only habitations are hollowed In the rocky hillsides and whose entire business life Is carried on in caves. We had seen in Normandy Isolated instances of jteople living In habita tions half house and half cave. But they were in faraway towns and vil lages and only the very poorest class of people lived In them. Cur first real cave city came as a great surprise, for wo had Just left Tours, one of the most highly civilized cities In France. were riding on the road to Vouv . when suddenly, at the turn near l;och"corlwij, this first town of cliff dwellers burst upon us. , High alwive us towered a huge mass of overhanging rock, strata upon strata, bearing upon its summit n most J.4, culiar towi-i', uti jijnmt-d iir have been a watch tower in ages gone by. Its foundations hung over the rock upon which they were built and It seemed as though It would crash down at any moment upon the village be neath.

Walls along the hlgb road bid the Immediate fore ground and we looked in vain for an ojiening by which we could have a nearer view of this strange communi ty. At last we found an open gate and, peeping through, were greeted by a dear little old woman, whose wrink led, smiling face was surmounted by a snowy white cap. Her doorway was a bower of flowers, hollyhocks, asters, nasturtiums and deep June roses. By Its side waa an stlil well and a little outhouse for her weed and gardening tf.'.ls. Her cheery "lKn Jour" was on Invitation to enter and "we gladly ac-et-pK-d hr cordiality. V followed her across the little yard and were soon seated in her one and only room. Scrlbner's Magazine. Kilejr'a Con Pcsklon. James Whitcomb Hiley Is thus quoted In .the I-amp: "I have Iwen catching the next train for so many years that I have had but little time to devote to the social side of life, and am, In consequence, a confirmed novice In all the gentler graces.

BurTivors of the Rebellion Relate Manj Annaing and Startling Inci dents of Marches, Camp Life, Foraging- Esperiencea and Battle Scene. At the recent Confederate reunion In New Orleans the hearts of the oil soldiers were sadd.ii'd by the state ment tit their comrade. Ceo. John B. C ordon. That b m ti c a 1 1 h ; w a - f ;i if n -,' and that he was about to wind up bis career. The most wonderful part of it all is Unit be has sitrvne.l until this dsy. It is almost miraculous that he should hive passed tlnoti.h mej an ordeal during the war In-twecn the States and come out with his life. In Scrib ner's Magazine Cen. Cordon has an article n "Antlctam and Ch-in.-elh rs viile." in which he recails the notable fact that in the former battle- he nas wounded no less thin live times. Cen. Cnrd-in's troops br.d the most advanced position on Hint part of the field where they were stationed, and there wa no supporting Hue behind them. He soon saw that almot dm pcrate attempt would be luaile by the Federals to break the line at that point, and It was to be through sheer force. It was Cen. Cordon's busings to prevent this, aid so h:; gave or-lers that his im n wire not to fire until he should give the s'gi-al. The l-VIernls fame forward with unl a-led guns, their purpose being to charge with bayonets and through their snp ri'.r numbers break through. In sjlre of the impati' nee of his men, Cen. Cor '1 m waited until "they should s e ih whlt(s of their en 'lilies' cve." When the FmIitmIs were lilm tt u;o:i him he ordered his men to tire, and t!ie!r rifles flamed mid roared in the faiv of tbe Yankees like a Minding blaze of I'ght nlng. iircotnpnnkd by !1ip quick ami deadly thunderbolt. It was iinji s. Stile for any body of ni-n to withstand this lire, iiiid the Ftdirnls withdrew, tut only to renew the attack agiln and again, in the same way. and thus the bailie waged furiius'y until s in Sown. Buring this cng:igemi tit Cen. Cor don was shot five different times, twice through the leg, once through Ihe arm, once through the shot:) lit. and finally through the face. In spite nf four wounds, from nil of which he was suffering and bbeii.ig. he In !d his position at the front, giving his commands and rallying his men. At the last shot, however, he Ml forward and lay imconscioi's with hi fac? in his cap, and he thinks thst he would have been smothered by the Mood from this last wound ' but for the act of some Yankee, who, as if to save my life, had at a previous hour dur ing the battle shot a hole through my cap, as If to Jet the blood out." He was borne to the rear In an uncon scious condition and the surgcin de spaired of his life. But Cen. Cor don declared that he would not die. and a little later, when his devote I wife arrived, he gre. te:l her In an affectionate, Jocular way and assure! her that he would get w.-ll. Tflanks to her faithful wale'iing and timsic he did get well, and was. by and by. after seven months, restored to his command. It Is no wonder tint! Cot-dan's mm said and believed Hint he had a "chaimed life." - It Is inconceivable that a man should have been shot five times during a single engagement and survived the shock; it is equally remarkable that a man who suffered so terribly from the enemies' bullets should have preserved his life and lived to a good old age. Hlehmond Tlme-IMspatch. Sjuhxt Hole a Cienr kirn. During a recent social camplire. held at tiie big round table in the quarter master's corner of a comrade's can teen by several Crand Army survivors, says a writer In the rhliadelphia ledger, Hip major was called titon to contribute his share of the heroic and b timorous rem ! n iscence. "Well, boys," replied he, "yon ought to know by this time that I can draw a small (M'lision much easier than 1 can tell a funny story, and I can just now recall but one, and in that you'll be apt to nniUnoi-n truth than tickle. "At Ihe time of the tirst draft I was stationed In Buffalo as recruiting olli cer for my regiment, arW tle price of substitutes to lill allotted quotas often reached a bigger figure In greenbacks than a common soldier could earn In a couple of years. So universal anil overwhelming was the patriotic desire to lie huskily represented by somebody else In defending old glory that even Indians were accepted for that pur pose. Buffalo, too, was the biggest re cruiting station in the whole country, and as such a golden field for a small army of bounty brokers, among whom one 'Cy Phillips was conspicuous. "Under these conditions Phillips was approached one day by an Individual, with 'hayseed' written sll over him, from his flapping straw hst to his tattered cowhide boots, who stated that he had an Indian, as sound as second growth hickory, wbom, for prssslng and plausible reasons, be wss willing to dispose of for the small sum of 100, cash on tbe nsil.

M mild f ee Have Won ? No luiitle of any war more forcibly than Ceityslmrg Illustrates the truth that ottieers at a distance from the Held cannot, with any wisdom, at tempt to control the movements of troops actively engaged, says Cen. John B. Cordon in Scrihner's. On the first day neither Cen. Early nor Cen. Kwell could possibly have lieen fully cognizant of ihe situation at the time I was ordered to halt. The whole of that portion of the Vnlon army in my front was in In extricable i-onfusion and In flight. They were i essarlly in flight, for my troops were upon the flank and rapidly sweeping down the lines. The tiring iijMin my men had almost ccas ed. Large bodies of the t'nion troops were throwing down their anus and surrendering, been use In disorganized and confused masses they were wholly powerless either to cheek the move ment or return the Hie. As far down the lines as my eye could reach the I iiion troops were in retreat. Those at a distance were still resisting, but giving ground, and It was only necessary for rne to press forward in order to insure the same results, wlib-li invariably follow such flank movements. In less than one half hour my troops would have swept up and over those hills, the possession of which was of such momentous con reijiierices. It is not surprising v.lih a full real ization of tiie cotiscinetices of a halt, that I should have refused at first ti oiiey the order. Not until the third or fourth order of the most peremptory character reached me did I obey. I think I should have risked the conse quences of disobedience even then, but for the fact that the order to halt was accompli Hied with t he explanation that Cen. I-eo, who was several miles, away, did not wish to give battle at Ccttysburg. It Is stated on good authority, that Cen. I.ee said, some time before his death, that If Jackson had been tllife he would have won In this battle a great ai.d possibly decisive victory. I cannot vouch for the truth of this statement, as I did not hear It, but no soldier in :t great crisis ever wished more ardently for a deliverer's band limn I wished for one hour of Jackson when 1 was ordered to halt. A t'nmnanr of FiiMler. 1 )t:ring the summer of 1W1, our regi ment, the Thirteenth Missouri Infant ry, was organized at and near St. Jos eph. Mo. Compauy F, an organized company of country boys, marched In to camp one warm afternoon. The roll was called, and we believe that in the history of our war that ram pany was exceptional in at least two respects. We have had competition for the honor of being the oldest, the youngest, the first, the tallest, the shortest and the longest In service soldier. We have read disputes about company and regimental organizations, but the honor wo claim for this com pany Is that there were seventeen men of one name, Baker, al! of one fam ily, all young country lads, and that every one of these Bakers could play the fiddle. They had marched from their home county through some rath er unfriendly neighborhoods, and towns notoriously disloyal, with no side arms but violins. Within an hour after their arrival these violins were at work, and during our stay In that camp, and until the louder and shril ler music of tiie rifle and cannon wero substituted there was not an hour of the day. between reveille and tattoo. that these fiddles were not going In 1 the hands of the Baker family. We enter Company I'. Thirteenth Missouri Infantry for competition. Who can bent their record. In tiumlier of one name mid one profession?
