A Russian Legend.
There was once a young Russian prince who was as cruel as Russian princes alone could be. He made nothing of insulting and abusing any one; He would ruthlessly lead the chase across the fields of young corn, which were the peasant's only hope of subsistence, and making nothing of tramping down women, feeble old men, or children, if they were in his way.
On one occasion being more than half intoxicated, he saw a beautiful child playing in the road before the door of a poor peasant's hut, and he rode deliberately over it, and when its mother, with frantic cries, rushed forth and lifted it from the ground it was quite dead. The poor woman's grief was so great, the dead child was so beautiful, and the wrath of those who witnessed the scene was so intense, that even the cruel prince could not be quite indifferent to what he had done.
Having watched the woman for a while, he drew his purse from his pocket and rode toward her.
"Here," said he, dropping it into her lap, "here is money enough to make you rich among other peasants; you have other children, or will have. They are always plenty, one more or less, what does it matter? See, now you are rich; stop crying."
But as she spoke, the woman lifted his purse in her hand and flung it in his face.
"Take back your blood money," she said. "My child was worth more than all the gold in Russia. But listen insolent prince! A poor peasant woman can do no harm, but she can see the harm that is coming. My mother was a wise woman; I also can see into eternity. The horse that has been the death of my darling will be the cause of yours before long. Yes, he will rid the world of you, thank Heaven. It is written. I read it. Go, and leave me with my dead."
As the woman spoke the prince turned pale. He was very superstitious, and the belief in prophecy was strong in those days. Without making answer he rode away. His followers at his bidding scattered the contents of his purse among the crowd, who at once changed their curses to cheers, and the broken-hearted woman was left alone.
As for the prince he rode home as fast as he could, and so great was the impression made by the words that the Johns Hopkins era

The tide of immigration shows no signs of abatement. During the month of October the arrivals at New York numbered 30,697, of whom 4,000 came in on a single day. The total number of immigrants landed at Castle Garden during the year, up to the 1st instant, is stated at 285,327, against 112,272 for the corresponding period of last year.
If land sales constitute a sign of prosperity, then the South is certainly prosperous. During the present year there have been sales of public lands in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, Missouri and Mississippi amounting to $1,095,405, an increase of $573,-370 over last year. A large part of this area was sold to small proprieters, black and white. Such sales register the individual prosperity of the laborer which has its outcome in small farms and peasant proprietsors.
Fashion.
Bead trimming appears in all sorts of places. We shall not be surprised if it be seen shortly on table napkins.
Surale holds its own among the new goods. It is oftenest seen now in brocaded goods, or in two or more different colors.
Narrow gathered flounces are put under the plaited border of petticoats, making a sweeper like that worn in the dress skirt.
Silver jewelry is more fashionable than gold in England just at present, and the indications are that it will soon become so here.
Embroidered linen colors and cuffs of a soft cream color are very fashionable and exceedingly becoming. They are edged with lace.
Large sleeves form the conspionous feature of the new cloaks this season, fur-trimmed garments taking precedence in that respect:
The Souvenir, Marshal Neil and Nephetos reses are the flowers most used by florists at present. The garden blossoms have had their day.
Answering the double purpose, like the piece of furniture described by Goldsmith—"A bed by night, a chest of drawers by day"—is a new cloak pattern with a cape, which can be buttoned up so as to form a hood.
A contemporary has some sensible remarks about the folly and bal taste of poor girls buying and wearing cheap imitations of fashionable wearing apparel and jewelry. The result is limpay dresses; dresses which hang like dish rags, washed out; tarnished jewelry; shoes speedily out of shape, and a general air of shabbiness from
death of my darling will be the thank of yours before long. Yes, he will rid the world of you, thank Heaven. It is written. I read it. Go, and leave me with my dead."
As the woman spoke the prince turned pale. He was very superstitious, and the belief in prophecy was strong in those days. Without making answer he rode away. His followers at his bidding scattered the contents of his purse among the crowd, who at once changed their curses to cheerers, and the broken-hearted woman was left alone.
As for the prince he rode home as fast as he could, and so great was the impression made by the words that the poor peasant mother had uttered that he at once ordered his horse, a great favorite, of which he had been fonder than he ever was of any living being, sent away to a distant portion of the country. The animal was to be cared for as though it was a human being, a house was to be built for him, and he was to be closely confined therein, if no, the prince himself, ever visited that portion of the country. Of course these orders were strictly obeyed. The favorite steed went into a sort of royal exile, and the prince used to ride other horses when he trampled down other peasant's corn.
People remembered the prophecy, however, and many secretly hoped for its fulfillment. The unhappy mother had the reputation for a sort of second sight, believed in by those of her nation.
However, time passed on. A year went by-two-three-four. The fifth came. During this time the prince had heard no tidings of his banished favorite. At last he inquired about him, and heard that he had been dead for a long time. Laziness and overfeeding had killed him.
"So, cried the prince," "he will not be my death at least! A dead horse can kill nobody."
And then, as though the animal were an enemy who had been thwarted in some evil intent, the desire to see his dead body and trample over it seized upon his master.
Attended by a greet train he set out for the place where the horse had lived and died. The remains had been laid with respect, in a sort of tomb built for the purpose.
"ILet me see them," cried the prince.
His word was law. The tomb was opened. Only the skeleton of the poor beast remained, but beside this the prince stood with a look of triumph upon his countenance.
"So," cried he, "you were to be my death, were you? Ah! ah! you cannot run away with me now, nor throw me. I defy you to bite me or kick me. See how quietly you allow me to kick you."
As he spoke he bestowed upon the skull of the dead animal a disdainful kick. But on the instant his laughter changed into a cry of anguish, and his courtiers saw him writhing on the ground in agony; close about his leg was twisted a black and hideous object with fierce eyes and darting head. It was a venomous serpent which had coiled itself within the hollow of the skull of the dead horse, and which the kick the prince had given him had death of my darling will be the thank of yours before long. Yes, he will rid the world of you, thank Heaven. It is written. I read it. Go, and leave me with my dead."

The pretty little work-cases in Russia leather of last year have companions this year in the shape of little wicker hampers lined with blue satin and furnished with scissors, bodkin and thimble, and the pocket inkstand of former years is replaced by an inkstand that cannot leak, inasmuch as it has an outer case which makes it impossible for it to open unawares.
The following glossary is given for the benefit of many who are not familiar with the peculiar names of fashions and materials:
Bayaleuse, or sweeper—The plaiting of lace and muslin or silk set on the innar edge of the train of handsome dresses.
Beige—The color of unbleached wool.
Boarette (from refuse)—A rough-surfaced fabric, either cotton, wool or silk, with irregular threads of color interspersed therein, as though the material were woven of odds and ends.
Bouffante—Puffed out.
Bouillon—a puffing set on a trimming.
Coirass—a close-fitting nasque; long on the hips and fitting the figure like a glove all round.
Cornage—the dress waist.
Coulisse—Shirred.
Carrick Capes—Small capes, or large collars, like those on a coachman's coat.
Demi-train—a short train; i.e., in length from a few inches to half a yard.
Faille (pronounced Faye)—A soft, thick silk.
Fishn—a small cape, usually of lace or tulle, worn over the dress.
Fraise—a standing ruffle worn on the neck.
Gilet—Vest.
Jabot—An arrangement of lace and loops of ribbon, either or both, down the front of the dress.
SINGULAR APPAIR.—In an outhouse at Nickayuna, near Schenectady, N. Y., a tramp was found dead. He was dressed very poorly, and was covered with filth and lice. Upon examining his pockets the coroner made the astounding discovery that he was possessed of $239.77, and a valuable hunting case gold watch. Letters were found on his person addressed "Rev John Edward Giles." The coroner took charge of these effects and of the body, and then noticed a ten box, or tube, lying upon the floor. The tube had been kicked around and knocked against, and but little attention paid to it. The coroner, on noticing it, asked what it was: Some one answered: "It belongs to the man that died. He had it with his other traps." The coroner picked it up and on opening it another astounding discovery was made. The old tube contained $19,950 in 4 1-3 per cent government bonds!
Solar Force.—Several years ago Ericson predicted that the Nile and Ganges would be lined with cotton and other factories driven by solar heat. A French engineer in Algiers is already contributing to its fulfilment by pumping water and making it boil by solar force alone. He will probably soon be raising roosting and boiling coffee at one operation.
The earth is full of tragedy, and life is full of pathos.—Henry Vanover.
The Johns Hopkins Semide Laboratory.
The Johns Hopkins Semide Laboratory was located during the past season at Beanfort, on the coast of North Carolina. The work of the laboratory, which was organized three years ago, has been to study the marine life of Southern waters, and has included among other investigations, an elaborate study by Professor Brooks of the development and propagation of the oyster. The first season's work, in the summer of 1878, was carried on in Hampton Roads, Va., at Fort Wool, situated on a small artificial island known as the Riprapa. A good volume of "Scientific Results," which appeared in the following winter, attested the activity of the working party. In the following spring the laboratory was established at Crisfield, on the eastern shore of Maryland, a village which is the center of the oyster trade for the Southern Chessapeake, and which, in both a figurative and a literal sense, has been built upon oysters. Here the natural history of the oyster was carefully studied, and the complete success which attended efforts to fertilize artificially the eggs of the oyster showed that the artificial propagation of this important shell-fish may in time become a prominent feature in the oyster culture. Later in the season the party was completely and ignominiously routed by invading armies of mosquitoes, which came in clouds, rendering mere existence scarcely tolerable, to say nothing of the utter impossibility of microscopical and other scientific work.
The party accordingly decamped, retreating to their former quarters at Fort Wool, where the remaining portion of the season was passed.
This season it was decided to push still further south in order to get within reach of the more Southern or semi-tropical forms of life, and after some deliberation, Beanfort, N. C., an old and well-known collecting ground, was fixed upon as head-quarters for the summer. In addition to this laboratory, under direction of Professor Brown, which was intended especially for the pursuit of original investigations, a summer school of zoology was organized by Dr. G. F. Clarke, and located at Fort Wool. At the latter station systematic instruction in marine zoology was afforded to less advanced students.
Melitable Testimony.
Where testimonials give the residence of the parties it is an easy matter for any person to verify them. Thousands of people from all parts of the Pacific Coast can add have expressed the opinion that there is no other article in the world equal to PHOSPHATE SOAP for common toilet use. A great many people have tested this soap for skin disease. Among others we give the following from parties who have thoroughly tested PHOSPHATE SOAP:
OAKLAND, Cal., April 5, 1838.
STANDARD SOAP COMPANY—GENTS:
Some two or three months ago, I had a boy about two years old that had suffered for a year with a severe eruption on the head and face, caused by teething. The child was in such misery that it would often be awakened out of sleep by the severe itching. He would then scratch his head and face until the blood ran from the scabs. We tried everything we could find, but nothing seemed to give any permanent relief until we tried PHOSPHATE SOAP. Before we had used one cake, the child's head and face were entirely healed, and there has been no appearance of the disease since.
MICHAEL KANE No. 1068 Kirkham St.
FORT VENDE, Arizona, Dec. 12, 1879.
STANDARD SOAP COMPANY—GENTS:
Having received your box of PHOSPHATE SOAP, and having used only one cake of SOAP out of the three, I am happy to say that it has completely cured my sore eyelids which was caused by the alkali dust in Idaho Territory, in 1877, and have been more ever since until I used PHOSPHATE SOAP.
CORPORAL DENNIS BURKE,
Twelfth Infantry.
SAN FRANCisco, November 27, 1879.
STANDARD SOAP COMPANY—GENTS:
After a number of trials of Soap, I have learned that the PHOSPHATE is certainly the very best for shaving. I thank you for its introduction.

Answers to Correspondents.
In reply to the many inquiries which we have received regarding a most prominent modern remedy we would say: To the best of our belief Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, is pure in its nature, efficient in its action and certain in its results. We have learned of some remarkable cures which it has effected and believe that as a preventive of disease it is unequaled. For delicate ladies and enfeebled men it is invaluable, and its pure vegetable qualities commend it to the favor and use of all.
I have no more doubt of the beneficial effects of Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure than I have that the Genesee river empties into Lake Ontario.—Rev. J. E. Rankin

This season it was decided to push still further south in order to get within reach of the more Southern or semi-tropical forms of life, and after some deliberation, Beaufort, N.C., an old and well-known collecting ground, was fixed upon as head-quarters for the summer. In addition to this laboratory, under direction of Professor Brown, which was intended especially for the pursuit of original investigations, a summer school of zoology was organized by Dr. G. F. Clarke, and located at Fort Wool. At the latter station systematic instruction in marine zoology was afforded to less advanced students.
The establishment of Agassiz's well-known summer school at Penixese gave a great impetus to seaside work, and the number of "Summer Schools" and laboratories has since been steadily increasing. Through the studies thus carried on and by means of the magnificent collections which the yearly expeditions of the United States Fish Commission are accumulating, our knowledge of the marine life of our eastern coast is very rapidly advancing. Much of the knowledge thus gained is of the utmost practical value to our fisheries and kindred industries, though in the opinion of most of the scientific men engaged in the work, the purely scientific side of such studies is of still more importance.
The leading work of the Johns Hopkins Laboratory has thus far consisted of studies upon the embryology or development of various forms of marine life. To get at facts of this nature necessitates the most careful and patient work, weeks or even months of study and observation being often required to work out satisfactorily the complete history of a single form. The methods of work vary with different animals. Many adult forms may be taken along the shores or on the piles of wharves. Others are found only in deeper water, and must be procured by the employment of dredges or trawls, which are dragged over the bottom, scraping up large quantities of sand, gravel and mud in which the animals are found. A much smaller number of adult forms swim at the surface. The embryos, or young, with few exceptions, swim freely through the water. In calm weather, and especially at night, they often crowd to the surface in almost incredible numbers; and to these microscopic creatures, the so-called "phosphorescence" of the sea is largely due.
To capture these minute free-swimming animals, fine gauze nets are employed. These are towed through the water at the end of a long string, or are attached to handles and used by hand as "dipping-nets." The creatures thus captured may be kept in aquaria and studied with the microscope as they develop from day to day or week to week. The earliest stages may be obtained by keeping the adults in aquariums until they produce eggs and the young embryos hatch.
The town of Beaufort, though a rather out-of-the-way place, is a well-known Southern summer resort. The prevailing cool sea breezes render the climate very delightful, and this is itself a sufficient inducement to many. But there are many other attractions.

A Tramp's Narrow Escape — A tramp gave a woman living in the suburbs of Galveston some impudence, so she rushed in and came out again with a shot-gun. She did not see the trump at first, but he rushed out into the street in plain view and told her to shoot, which she did, and missed him, of course. He went up the street smiling, and remarked to his confederate: "That was a close call. If she had fired without seeing where I was she would have plugged me certain, but as soon as she drawd down on me I felt that my time hadn't come yet. I've been there five times before."—Galveston News.

HAVING HAD AN EXTENDED AND SUCCESSFUL practice of more than thirty years in all the departments of operative surgery and obstetrics have during my extended travels devoted the past few years especially to study and treatment of a class of diseases which is increasing yearly to an alarming extent. For this purpose I have visited the orthopedic institutions of London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna and other centres of learning, when came acquainted with the masters of the profession, and had the opportunity to examine the results of modern treatment and appliances for these forms of disease armed with the experience of a long term practice and a thorough knowledge of modern medicine and surgery. I feel justified to offer superior advantages of treatment to patient sufferers from deformities, especially from Elasticity Curve of the Epiphenie, Beamformations of the Chest May-June Disease, and diseases of women requiring surgical assistance. Patients from the country supplied with suitable accommodations.

It is an old proverb that an ounce of preventive is better than a pound of cure. Twenty-five cents invested in a cake of PHOSPHATE SOAP will save hundreds of dollars in doctors' bills. It acts as a constant disinfectant, preventing Salt Rheum and other skin diseases.
If your wife will persist in the use of cosmetics buy her a cake of PHOSPHATE SOAP and tell her to use it every night before retiring. In that way much of the harm will be avoided, as the skin will thereby be able to retain much of its natural vigor and beauty.
Thousands of articles are palmed off on the public which have no genuine merit, but PHOSPHATE SOAP is the result of modern discoveries of celebrated chemists.

PHOSPHATE SOAP
Ladies who wish to make the skin look beautiful and natural should use PHOSPHATE SOAP.
If your wife will persist in the use of cosmetics buy her a cake of PHOSPHATE SOAP and tell her to use it every night before retiring. In that way much of the harm will be avoided, as the skin will thereby be able to retain much of its natural vigor and beauty.
Thousands of articles are palmmed off on the public which have no genuine merit, but PHOSPHATE SOAP is the result of modern discoveries of celebrated chemists.
PHOSPHATE SOAP costs no more than other good toilet soaps, while its medicinal qualities make it worth ten times its price to every man, woman and child.
TESTIMONIALS:
OAKLAND, CA., ARG. J. MR.
We have been giving your PHOSPHATE SOAP a pretty fair trial, and we like it best of any soap for toilet use that we have found on this Coast. We have little doubt that it will meet with universal favor. Mrs. R. H. JOHNSTON,
1016 Kirkham street.
We have used the PHOSPHATE SOAP in our practice, for cleaning indolent ulcers, and also skin diseases, pimples and eruptions of the face, so often seen in the young of both sexes, and can heartily recommend it to the public as the most remedial agent of the kind that we have used.-S. P. Medico-Literary Journal.
The genuine merits of PHOSPHATE SOAP and persistent advertising will force every druggist, groceryman and general dealer to order it by the gross sooner or later for it in every store. The retail price is 25 cents per eagle. We wish to sell it only at wholesale, but in case you cannot find it we will send a nice box of three eakes by mail, postage paid, on receipt of 25 cents in shams.
