Henry Meiircs, the South American Kailread King. The recent rumor of the death of Mr. Henry Meiggs, received from Lima, has called attention to this famous representative of American character and genius. A London paper, which can not be suspectetl of partiality towards any thing American, recently spoke of him in the following strain Meiggs is one of the most interesting specimens of American enterprise in existence. His life is a romance.

Of course there has been already a great deal said concerning the employment of men in situations that could be filled by women but there is no reason why the charge should not be again ami again resounded till reformation in the matter is effected.

Whenever a man's superior physical strength enables him to tlo what a woman can not do. or when his superior intellectual ability or scholarship gives him powers of which she is destitute, then he can occupy himself without any loss of manliness; but wherever a woman can do the work as well, it befits a man to look about him and see if he be not as mu' out of place as he would feel him- lf were he dandling babies, dusting trinkets, or darning lace for a liveli hood. We intend, however, no crusade igainst the dry-goods" clerk, who is almost invariably an honest, patient, faithful, and in every way worthy citizen, although we think he has mistaken hi place. 1'ubiie opinion will one day di-pose him and ail his brothers in places better lilted to their natures and abilities. We only intend to point out a few opportunities, otherwise, that women either have tried elsewhere or might try here to advantage.

In England, so great has been the emiirration that many paths are left open to women that they might never have fon ml had there been men to com mantl them. To lie sure, the drinking -hops there, which are tended bv the handsomest women in the three king doms, are something whieh we do not care to see more fully imitated on this of the sea, no matter how well conducted those women may lie. Hut there are countless other situations where the English women have the start of us, and from whose circumstances we might gather some hints ourselves. In many hotels there, they are clerks, lxok-keep- ers, steward, ami general managers the- form a good proportion of the tele-ffraph operators; anil they do all the floor business of theaters, selling the tickets, chex-king the garments for the English wisely refuse a lady the right of aniiovingevery one liehind her with her lofty hat and' head-gear ushering the guests, and selling them refreshments after they are seated. Yet hese are but a few of the ways in whieh women may find occupation as modest and suitable as in the naiier-dashery or behind the candy counter, and with pay tolerably equivalent to the duties.

There is no reason why a wom an should not sell the tickets of a railway, sheltered in the little office at whose windtiw they are exchanged; should not altogether monopolize the business of the florist and of the market gardener, neither of whieh is at all too heavy for her actual strength: should not fill the desks of bank offices, tax collectors, ami other clerical places; should not attend to alt the lighter imr- tions of manufacturing. Into some of these things women have already effect ed an entrance that will make the way wider. There are many women now at work upon the telegraph, many are compositors in printing-houses, man are book-keepers; anil every woman who does her duty well in tine of these places, makes it easier tor the next woman to take and to get and to keer as much better ones as may be desired each upward step being a hold-fast or he next. The fi rst woman ho went into a printing-otliee was an innovator she matte it possible lor one to go into telegraph-office. And thus the book keeiier will doubtless make it possibl that the great merchant doing business with foreign countries, having ships go out and ships come in, shall be a worn an too as often as a man.

We do not think this a matter trench ing at all upon the disputed topics woman's rights, since all men have held from the time that any attention at ail began fo lie given to the status of worn en as an integral part of the race an not an ateulent ot it, that she lias right to work, a right to get her ow living in any honest way she can, an the living of as many others as she will There is no selfishness of class or sex in this desire to increase the usefulness of woman. The occupation of sin places as I hose we mention by women will not drive men into places where they will lie unhappy or taxed lieyon their strength but they will cease to be doing work where they not only are required, but are wasted, and their la bor will become productive, which the labor ot men in such situations can now lie fitly termed. They will add too, by so much to all the opportunities of civilization, will increase the wealth of the country, and simply allow women to assist in its distribution. It is, however, rather idle to speak of the affair as it women were to dnve men out of position voluntarily and de luieralely. omen can not occupy these places till men torsake them even the pressure of public opinion will not at first be heeded by men.

1 he on lv driving to be done will be when the wages shall be so reduced that they will not answer the needs of men; when women, who are satisfied with much 1 ss, and for whom much less is deemed sufiicient, will gladly accept them. An then, women having once at last filled these places, public opinion assumes new form, and the lord and master can not do any thinir so deroiratorv to hi: dignity as to till the place that has been filled by a subordinate and the battle. it battle it be called, is so far won. lint the great trouble in this matter is, after all, the unwillingness of women themselves. The great majority do not expect to work; they expect to marrv And that thev can work and marry too does not occur to them; nor do they think that any thing in the worl is quite so honorable as mamace 1 erhaps there is no life that altogether so blessed, and so blessed in giving blessing, as the married, whenever it is properly lived but in com munities constituted as ours are, where the one sex is usually so greatly in ex cess of the other, it is out of the ques tion inai an snouid marry; and it would be better to provide one's self, at any rate, against the necessity, just as the sons tit princes are taught a handicraft inai tney need not tie beggars in case thev came to the last of their crowns Hut even the women who do not think about marrying, in so many words.hesi- tale to assume the occupation; that are unusual.

I hey hate to be conspicuous, to be eccentric, to be strong-minded they like to get along lust as their erand mothers did; they have fanciful notions concerning the seclusion of women, and more fanciful ones still concerning the ucgrauinjr nature oi wors, ana it taces want to drive them to it. And so they keep along with their little schools-their little sewing, their little shop-tending, ami iook asitance at the more energetic and daring who reach out toward employments a little oroatter and a little better paid -til the latter make it a success, when the others some times timidly essay to follow. One thing needed by women. certainly, in order to overcome this nackwarttness toward entennf? unon new occupations, is some tonic to their self-respect, some stimulant to their pride and their ambition; something that shall make it seem utterly nn worthy of them to sh down, be thev rich or poor, and live on the labor ot another; that shall make it seefn as unquestionable to the daughter to sit down and be supported by the father as it is to the son and shall make all women see the propriety of every human being providing its own place in the world. But while the majority of women are being educated up to their work, it iroea with out caving that there are more women already waiting for placet to work than there are place waiting for women.

Sanitary Value of Forests. Ir. George Androvr, of Laporte, read a iiaiier on the above sub ject liefore the American 1'ublic lleaith Association, at its recent session ill Chi cage-, oi wnicn mc loiiowmg ls a sum mary: 1. Forests increase the amount of condensation over their own areas; but bv reason of the amount intercepted by their stems ami leaves, the annual rainhill at th" earth's surface is not, perhaps, ma terially affected by iheir presence or absence in regions well covered with other vegetation anil well cultivated. 2.

By means of their interlaced roots, mosses, lichens, and humus, forests check the efflux of superfluous rainfall, thus regulating the water-supply in streams ami springs, ant! decreasing the proportion of the annual precipitation that is lmrne to the sea by the natural drainage of the country. 3. Forests diminish the evaporation fromihe earth's surface, but this hy-gromelric deficiency is more than compensated by the increased evaporation from their leaves. Forests may thus become iteneticial or otherwise, accord ing to circumstances, i he change which tree-planting has produced upon our Western piains is thus far an unmixed gotid but, by increasing the humidity td the climate of certain health resorts, as of Ilenver, valued mainly for its drynes-s, extensive tree-planting is not unaccompanied with evil. 4.

Trees modify temierature wooded countries being armor in winter and cooler in summer. This they do by radiation but by means of their slow conducting power the times of their daily maximum and minimum do not occur until some hours after the same phases in the temperature of the air, thus distributing the heat of the day more equally over the twenty-four hours. The Secial significance of this effect lies in the fact that, as related to human health, the daily range of the thermometer is of more importance than the mean temperature of whole seasons. 5. Trees radiate and evanorate to a stratum of air equaling in thickness their height, whilst the radiation and evaporation from grasses, plants, and shrubs is confined to a stratum limited to the comparative lesser planes which they occupy.

6. From the preceding it may be fairly inferred that forests modify climate to the extent of intluencing the amount aad character of the diseases in their vicinity. (In this inquiry residence in forests is not considered, universal experience having shown those situations which are permanently shaded to be in salubrious.) 7. Forests and tree-belts are of nn. doubted value in preventing the dissent- 8.

Trees are of positive sanitary value in affording shelter from the excessive heat of the sun, from the violence of winds.and in promoting estheic culture. 9. The importance of devoting to forests all regions unfit for profitable cultivation, and of protecting them by an enlightened public sentunent, as well as by legal enactment, may be fairly assumed as a sanitary as well as an economical necessity. extensive budget of marvelous tales of the ocean. The names of Captain and i in the skipper's anecdote.

The official log contains this entry: latitude longitude James Cnltnn, a stowaway, fell from the vard to the deck, and was instantly killed. AtiL'. IS, latitude longitude William Bean, an ordinary seaman, while the funeral sen it was read over the body of t'ulton. Jumped from the topsa'lant rail and sunk immediately, hove to at the time. A boat was lowered, but no traces of the man were discovered.

That," said the Captain, "is an entry that gives the key to the yarn I'll spin," as a Mail reporter sat in his cabin yesterday afternoon, after the noonday meal. I shipped Bean in Liverpool. He was a tall, good-looking young fellow, and did not appear to lie much of a seafaring man bv his appearance, but he had a couple of good discharges, anil I took him. After he went forward among the men I did not notice him again until the second day out. The mate came aft lugging along a little bit of a fellow with short curly hair and a round face, whom he had found stowed away under the fore hatch.

A lot of the men got around to hear what I was goinir to say alxiut it. What the blazes made you hide away in my I said. He ditln't answer a word, and seemed seared to death. Then Bean steppetl out ami said 1 know that young man, aptain he is an old chum of ruine. He wanted to get passage to California, and had no money.

I swore some at them both, and then sent Colton off iu charge of tiie third mate, who soon got him to work on a broom. He handled the broom pretty well, txk sort of to polishing up the brass work, and seemed so inclined to be industrious that I took him out of the mate's watch ami gave him odd jobs alxiut the cabin, lending the steward a hand anil so on. He hail ail night in ami belter gruo man tney got in tne roreea-ue, lie useti to always sup some oi it torwarti to lican. noe 'wo were a good deal together on Bean's watch, and Colton would sometimes stay up all night with him. Then he got to like going aloft, and used to hantile the royals as well as any ordinary seaman on board.

One day the mate said to me, 'I heard those two men. Bean ami Colton, talking together last night, sir, and there was something tpieer alxiut it. Bean was telling him that his mother and brothers would never forgive him, and the best to tlo when he got to San Francisco would be to write to some triends at home, but not let his people know where he was. Colton was crying.and seemed to feel very bad. Then tlicy saw me and shut np.

I think Bean has made that boy Colton run away from school or something of the sort I told the mate to make work as light as he could for him, and once, when he hrought me a cup of tea on the poop, I asked him if his frientl knew that he had started for California, i I he said but I could not get along well at home, and I thought i it best to go away. i "'Vou knew Bean well at home.ditln't I asketl. 'Yes, said looked red I and confused. 'Hid he induce vou to run Xo, no, said he; bnt he told me ne was coming tins nat was all 1 said about it then.

Vou see how well he did it. He surprised me." Then the Captain opened his album and showed the reporter some photographs, which were very skillfully ami artistically retouched. I saw him once, "continued the Captain, painting the photograph of a ..1.1 1...1..

I was just going to call the young chap aft to help the sail-maker, who was working on the poop, when a squall came along. The mate sung out. the royal halyards were let go, and Colton jumped into the foic-rigging to get aloft and stow the forc-royal, for it was darkening up to windward. Bean also got into the rigging, and st'inetl to want to get up, but Colton got ahead of him. He laid out on the yard, got hold of the canvas, and the next thing we knew something came whirling down on the deck with a thud that made me shudder.

The tirst one at the poor fellow's side was Bean. He turned him over.for the face was toward the deck, and then he fell tlown a tit, antl the boatswain attended to him. The watch carried Coltou's body aft. His neck was broken. I pulled ofTtlie shirt, antl then I knew the whole story," and the skipper took a glass of sherry, and his eyes were moist.

What was the mystery?" asked the reiorter. Well." said the Captain, "just this. Colton did not belong to our side of the deck. The body that was sewed up and launched into the deep was a young woman, and she was Bean's wife, for 1 found the marriage certificate in Bean's trunk with some letters that partiaily explained the matter. But I'll tell you about that afterward.

As soon as Bean got right he came aft, looking like a ghost, and he knew by my face that I had discovered the secret. said he, taking ofThis hat, 'would yon have any objection to letting me stay alone with it this night I let him stay all night by the body, and I can imagine what the poor fellow suffered. I neversaw such a despairing face on a man in my life as that which met me when I opened the cabin door antl the hands were summoned for the funeral service. He stood by until the last moment, antl when the body slipped off into the sea, and the shot carried it down, down into the blue depths, he watched it until it disappeared. Then he jumped on the topgallant rail, and before any one could grab him he was jrnne.

"And the 1 hunted through his trunk," saitl the skipper, and found a bundle of letters which I am going to inclose to his friends at home. From what I could learn from them it appears that Bean (which was an assumed name) was a young fellow of good family, but verv wild. The girl'-i people were also well off and reputable. She knew him from a bov, and ran awav with him, and they were married. He went to sea after that, and she went back to school.

AVhen he returned, they tried to make it np with the old folks, but they would not have it. So the yocng folks, without a sixpence to ble.ss themselves with, came on lioard my ship. Sounds like a novel, but it is all just as I told you, and here are the proofs. Have you any objection to my giving the name of the ship?" asked the the reporter.

Uila N. 19 ail bosh. I here slot's o- greennorns, heaps o' gamblers, and a few footpads and stage stoppers, bnt they ar' all third-class. Ye ought to have lived on the Slope when th i old Nugget State was panning out the oust irom ten thousand diggings, an' when stage rob bing an' throat-cumn' was dia up in first class style, day or night." Being invited to relate something, he pread out his big feet, braced his back against the hind wheel oi a praine said: "Waal.it just makes me sick to hear these recruits take on an' see 'em grow pale over reports that some of the stages has been stopped, an' the folks robbed of a few dollars. Why, I've seen the time when a single man, an not a big man at inai, siooa in the center of the trail, halted a coach full o' men.

each one armed, an' made 'em hop tlown and hand over dust enough to set anv ooay up in me in' business an' plenty left over to start a eireus on! That was bi.ness, that was, an' the victims couldn't help but feel like pattin' the feller on the back for his nerve. Ye've heard o' Hank Monk, I Yes." "Waal, there's fifty just as good drivers as he was, and fifty braver men, but Hank got into the newspapers, and folks thought him a preacher, a driver, a grizzly, a buffalo, an' a rattlesnake all rolled into one. Mintl ye, I ain't savin' a word agin' him, but I was ju-t thinkin' of how I was a passenger in his coach when it cost me a bullet through the shoulder to do what he could have done without even stopping the stage. Thar' was a chap called l'rinc-e Charlie, who used to imagine that Fargo's coaches were put on the line on purpose to bring him dust. He was a tine lookin' chap, standin' alxiut six feet high, half Texau an' half Mexican, an' he had eyes like coals o' fire.

That chap hung along the. bad spots in the Kocky Mountains for one hull summer, an' I guess he collected hard onto a hundred thousand dollars. He didn't have any partners in the bizness, but played a lone hand every time, an' alius raked in the stakes. He didn't stop every stage oh, no. He'd halt an' rob one to-day or to-night in Apple Blossom Canyon, and then, two, three, or four weeks arter he'd turn up on Scott's Hill, or Betsy Jane Gulch, or fifty miles from the other spot.

Folks thought he had just alxmt time to dig down into Mexico, put his dust inter safe han Is, an' then return, an' p'raps that was the game. I reckon ye've read about dozens o' these chaps, and therefore ye don't re member this one; but tell ve ne got to be a terror. As nobody could say when he'd cry to a stage, even brave men hated to travel in that fashion. I'rinee Charlie was a dead shot wouldn't take a word o' chin music an' sometimes he shot down a passenger or two, just to increase the respect of the rest. I was kinder speculatis' around in those days, an' it was a poor mornin' when I couldn't show up the half of 10,000.

I was gittin' ready to leave the country an' go back to Illinoy, when one o' Fargo's agents dropped in on me one day, and sez he: Jim, why don't ye go to work an' lav out that I'rinee Says I'll bet ye fifty to one I kin fix his bizness for him in less a That kinder brought us to terms, an' the agent showed up color strong. The stages were most deserted by travelers on account o' mis one road agent, an' the company felt that sumthin' had got to be done. The agent offers me a thousand dollars ir dust, and a pound nngget for a breast Din. if I could srive this chap's bones to the wolves. I wasn't 't all anxious, ye understand.

When a feller goes out to hunt a grizzly he may tree a b'ar or a b'ar may tree him. In this case, if I ditln't get the dead sure thing on I'rinee Charlie at a second notice, tne top o-my head would go flying over the rocks an the ole woman would be a widtler. I thought it over for about four minutes, an' then says I Mister Gray, make it fifteen hundred, an' I'll increase this feller's weight by a pound o' lead, or chaw red sand till spring He raised me the extra mighty quick, an' I began to stiffen my back bone. The Prince had robbed a stage about 20 days before, an' it was then about time for him to make another assessment on the shareholders. It was agreed that nothin' should be said about our bargain, and that I was to lie booked an' put hrough as a regular passenger.

I was left to make my own preparations, anil I kept shady till the stage was reaily to puU out for the long trip. P'raps you imagine that 1 loaded myself down with guns, revolvers, knives, an' sich, but I didn't. All I had was a good double-barreled shot-gun, each bar'l loaded with slugs no dut, no baggage, an' lookin' kinder down in the mouth an' played out, 'ziff I hadn't made a cent. Thar war seven other fellers in the stage, an' Hank Monk was the driver. We went out o' Marysville on the whoop, Monk havin' a rifle an' two revolvers on the seat, an' lookin' as brave as old Gen.

Scott. It wasn't my game to say any thin' to any body, an' so I didn't mix in a great deal with the others. They were stout-lookin' chaps, all well armed, an' part o' the crowd said they'd gin a clean hundred to have Prince Charlie halt the eoach. They planned to peel him in alxiut a second in case he showed up, an' afore long I got blue from thinkin' I was to be left out in the cold when the fun commenced. Waal, my boy, one arternoon we was trottin along as smart as ye please on a bit o' level road in the when all to once the climax showed up.

The eight of us were witle awake an' ready for bizness, when all of a sudden somebody veiled out, and that same Prince Cliarli? imped on the trail from behind a big rock. Hank Monk pulled in the horses to once, but instead gmn the robber some o' his bullets. he gut white around the mouth an' hopped down from his box an' held one the lead horses till the chap could come back to the stage and say: Xow. then, vou gents climb down here an' shell out an' the first man who even winks his eye will git a bullet over it That was I'rinee Charlie's style to a dot, just like you would walk into a store an" ask for ten pounds o' sugar. I don't believe I'm a coward, but when I heard him sing out an' realized that she chap I had sworn to kill was right thar, all riled np for bizness, my heart jumped inter my gullet an' my knees wobbled all over.

Onlv for a minute. though. Says I tomvself: 'Jim. old man, brace up or Betsy Jane will put on mourmn an I braced. Prince Charlie stood at the door, a revolver in either hand, an the passengers trot down one arter another as meek as could be.

Not a one o' them spoke a loud word, let alone pintin' their pistols at the chap. Waal, I war the last one out. 'cord- in' to the plans I had laid. Prince Charlie had the hull crowd to see to. an' he didnt have but two eves.

As I rot down I rawed the shot-gun arter me. havm hold tne butt. 1 he seven men were in line, their guns in the stasre.and the robber was callin' oat. with your arms hold 'em up, an' fur the ife o' ve don't even speak to As I lit on hard ground I yelled out like a panther to throw the feller off his duard. an' then sprang around the stage.

Then the real bizness began. I yelled out to the others to go for the robber, an' be tween watchin' them an' firin' at me the Prince had his hands full. I puess he snoi ai me tour or nve times under the fiLi -p 1 an1 be hit m. I wjm wnrl in git him confused an' mixed np. you see.

I i 11 mAffl mim duir n. 11 1 I out to them not to move, an' the blast ed coyotes stood right thar in line, an' never moved a foot while the robber came for me I war lookin' for him to come around the lead horses, but he I I of of riled. It takes a bean to stir me up from 1 way down, stranger, but when I get riled for good I don't mind nothin'. That hot blood blisterin' down my side riz ray hair fur me, an' I wanted to see Prince Charlie wuss nor he cared to see me. He had begun firing again, shootin' right inter the crowd, when I started fur him.

As I went around the wheel he fired slap-dab into my face, an' never touched a whisker. The range was too short for good shootin', and thar's men livin' uAlay who will tell ye that I iet go the gun, reached out my naked paws, an' the first thing that robber knew he was bein' shaked by a yearthquake. He had let his empty revolvers fall an' drew his bowie knile.an' he gin me these ere trifles on the arms while I was sinkin' mv claws inter him. When I got settled an' ready I lifted him clean from his pins, big as he was, jam med him agin the wheel to soften his hide, an' then flopped him down on the sile an' choked the life out o' him then an' thar! Yes, sir, I did, an" it took the hull seven men to tear me loose from him, 'cause I was riled an' wanted pay for my injuries. That's what I did to Prince harlie, stranger, an ngni down here is the nugget Mister Gray gin me, an' here's the sears to back it! Fargo wanted to hire me to drive stage on that line at big pay, lots o' men named camps arter me, the newspajiers gin putis, an' whisky didn't cost me a cent all winter." The old man shoved his hat over on his ear a little more and added: "Therefore, stranger, when I hear about these third-class hen-coop thieves stop-pin' stages an' makin' folks fork over, I kinder feel sick kinder feel that the boss days are gone forever."

HowDohson Was Tempted by Satan to Kiss a Girl. The dull mouotony of our Court proceedings was enlivened one day last week (writes a correspondent fioin Wilkesbarre, iu the cao of the Commonwealth against Itobson, in which the defendant was accused of assault upon a young lady named Hetler, by kissing her against her will. The plaintiff complained that Dobson, "by force of arms, malice aforethought, anil instigated by the devil, tlid then anil there violently assault, waylay," etc. She told her story in a plain, straightforward kind of way, to the effect that she was enjoying the evening breezes while loaning over her father's fence, and that William Dobson came along, seized ber by the hands, and forcibly pulling her over the palisade, committed the assault for which she claimed redress at the hands of the law. A sister of the complainant testified that she did not see the alleged impropriety, because of the darkness, and she being in another pact of the yard, but she heard a kiss, or something that sounded like a kiss, and knew that something was gin ing on.

Dobson claimed the privilege of being his own witness, ami he told jiart of the story omitted by Miss Hetler and her sister. He is a jolly specimen of an Englishman. His narrative of the occurrence in which he had become involved runs as follows: Dobson Y'er sec, yer 'onors, I was walking along, singing, What will the the 'arvest be? Gen. McCartney (counsel for plaintiff, disposed to have some fun while confusing the witness) You were singing What will the 'arvest be?" (closely imitating the intonation of the witness). Dobson (very composedly) sir.

What will the 'arvest be?" Gen. McCartney" What will the 'arvest be?" Dobson (unruffled) What will the 'arvest be?" Gen. McCartney Well, go on, sir. Dobson Yer see, yer 'onors, I was going along, singing, What will the 'arvest be?" when I heard Mary singing, "What will the 'arvest be?" Gen. McCartney She was singing What will the 'arvest be?" -ij By this time there were decided en- ji nees of mernment all over the Court- deuces riKimtbut llobson remainetl as imperturbable as though officiating at a funeral.

Dobson Yes, sir. She was singing, "What will the 'arvest be?" but not so loud as I was, and I called out, Hallo, Mary, are that you?" and she it be. I went up to the fence, and she said she were hall halone, has her father 'ad gone to "class." fien. McCartney Gone to class! 'tVhat did she mean by that Dobson hy, any fool knows what "class" means. Her father had gone to class-meeting, and left 'er halone.

We chatted a little, and then Gen. McCartney Well.you have heard her testimony. You seized her, pulled her over the tence, anil kissed her Dobson No. That testimony is false. We talked awhile and she sort o' leaned hover the fence like as if she wanted me to and just then Satan rot the best of me, and I kissed 'er right hon the mouth.

I found out What will the 'arvest be," and I think she was a hcasy prey. txiuu-Here the gravity of the Court, a -i-selors and spectators gave way. an here dora in a Court of Justice has been such a scene of uncontrollable, hilariousness. Judge Harding fairly roared himself hoarse with laughter, and all business was suspended for several minutes to allow those in the courtroom to recover their equanimity. Dobson was acquitted of the charge of assault, but must pay half the costs of the suit as his sliare of the 'arvest." The Itoj Bertram and His Bertie.

The habit of noticing things is a ritl one, and natural enourh in children, though of course some intelligrenfe and ptHid memory are necessary to make observation of anv use. But usinjj one's eyes carefully and keenly is certainly one of the ways to become intelligf nt. The Orjihin's Frvnd thus simply tei Is the story of Prof. Bertram, one of France's distinguished scientific men His father was very poor, and the only way he had open to earn any money was to jro to the fields and irather bee tles, strinr them, and cry them thronprh the streets of Paris, "Beetles! beetles bv the vard! He found, in searching through the fields, other insects, i nd when the beetle season was over he gathered rare insects, or fine butterflies, which he prepared so well thai they were put into elegant gilt frames. He began to study, and he says the thing that attracted" his attetition was that one day when trying to catch a daddv-Iong-legs," one of the legs was left in bis hands, and it kept on movin" for quite a long time.

Then he caught glow-worms, and tried to find out how ihev produced their light. The ants. however, always to be found crawling under his feet, attracted his attention the most, and he studied their habits, species, so thoroughly that he could tell all about them as" familiarly ih IlnltAT tilba a K. Ws One day he sold some insects to a man who had much taste for such things a naturalist and there he found books that gave him mnch information that was new to him, even about the beetles and the ants. After some time he determined to tell the world what he had learned about the beeties, and this drew the attention many learned men to him.

(Ine morn ing, in Is'it or lsVi, Meiggs was miss ing. He had gone aboard a schooner of his own, with his whole family, stowed the hold with every fragment of prop-I erty that he could carry away, stripping even the furniture from his house, antl the ornaments from his parlor mantel, and, unsuspected, hail dropped quietly down the bay and sailed for South America. He left behind about a million dollars of liabilities, and carrying such luggage as surely no ali-sconding bankrupt ever took with him before he wafted gayly over summer seas, and when the world next heard of him he was one of the richest men of Peru.

He had engaged, among other things, in improving the City of Lima, and all that he touched prospered. The city was surrounded by a mined adobe wall, antl the wall was surrounded by a huge mouiiil of tilth and rubbish almost llIltiiy generations had de- as liejh as the ranipart itself, where a posited domestic refuse. Meiggs un dertook to clear all this away, in consideration of receiving from the Govern- ment a certain amount of the land thus redeemed. In the place of the old wall and the dust heap he created a park, seven antl a half miles in extent, with avenues and shrubliery, anil on either side remainetl valuable building lots, of which he found himself the fortunate possessor. Then he began tti build rail-i ways for the Peruvian Government, antl n-e heard that he was growing richer amj rjl.j1,,r jj paid his debts in San Francisco.

He made such honest reparation for his delinquencies that the Legislature of California passed a special act to relieve him from the consequences of his wrong-doings and if he chose to go back there now he would lie received with open arms. But the tales of his fabulous wealth were greatly exaggerated, for it appears that he exhausted his money in his railway enterprises, and about a year and a half ago he was obliged to suspend the works for want of means. Now, however, he has formed a company of Americans and Peruvians to complete the undertakings engines, wagons, antl other materials have been purchased in this country, and engineers and contractors arc going out to Peru at once. Meiggs has already completed four railways, at a cost of aiiout and his present plans embrace three more, all of which are under way. The most important am, is the great road which begins at Callao, on the coast, runs up to Lima, anil then climbs boldly across the Amies, with the intention of crossing both Cordilleras, and reaching the navigable waters of one of the head streams of the Amazon.

There was already a line from Callao to Lima, seven ami a half miles, when Mr. Meiggs lie-iran; but the owuers charged him enormous rates for transportation, so Inbuilt another line of his own, and went on in the first f.

Sunreon in Many Armies.

Capt. Saunders of the steamship Lyce Moon, writing from Sydney, sends news of the death of Ir. Charles Mayo, one of the medical officers to the liovern-ment of the Fiji Islands, which occurred 011 board that ship on Sunday, July li. Dr. Mavo was exceedingly ill with dysentery, antl was advised that sea voyage was his only chance, but he sank hours after leaving port, and was buried at sea miles soul hwest of Cantlavore.

Dr. Mayo's career was a singularly varied and adventurous one. He was edu cated at Winchester College, proceeded thence to New College, Ixforii, of which he afterward liecame a Fellow, and graduated as M. 1). in both the universities of Oxford and Dublin.

Of an active temper, and loo impatient to wait for the slow course of hospital promotion and consulting practice in London, he entered the service of the I'nited States during the great civil war, antl acted as army surgeon throughout the siege of Vicksburg. He afterward served with the German army in the Franco-Prussian war, and was much consulted by the Princess Alice respecting the organization of hospitals and other means of affording aid to the sick and wounded in the war. After this he entered the Dutch medical service, and was present as surgeon during the greater part of the first eanipaiirn in Achecn. After a short sojourn at home, he accompanied Sir A. Gordon to Fiji.

He was an exceedingly ingenious antl accomplL-hetl man, and had received several decorations for his medical services to the German army. London Times. School-boys Planning a Strike. A strike of a rather novel nature will probably take place at the school-house Hampton, in the town of N'ewburg, on Saturday next. It appears that since school first'started they have held six daily sessions a week, keeping school in Saturday.

The pupils have applied the Trustees for Saturday as a holi-dav, saying that as they always bad Saturday as a plav-dav, they would like to have it for that purpose now. But each time the Trustees have answered that in olden vears thev had school on Satur-; davs, and thev "thought that what had been done ought to be done again, and each Saiurdav the school-bell has been run? the same as on the other davs. Conseqnently, the pupils held a meeting and resolved to go to school Saturday, and a the beli rang they should march a body to the residence of the Chairman of the Board of Trustees and ask Klaa tKAm a wot! a lla tK on SatlinhlV from their ardu- i.rV i.l,.:.: UUlies. 11 tUCli -a iiv. ajcv- they propose not to go to echool on it- tVl TOilt Cif rhU Strife" will V- An nnt nredicted.

Cooking Meats. Meat needs to be cooked to make it palatable, to render it easy of mastication, and in order that we may get tiie greatest amount of goodness from it with the least waste. Boasting or baking meat is the most extravagant mode in which it can be cooked, as it wastes nearly one-third of its substance in drippings or steam. Baking is not so wasteful as roasting, provided the meat be surrounded with vegetables covered with flour paste to preserve the juices.

Broiling is another extravagant method of cooking meat, as the fat and juices run into the tire or escape up chimney in steam. Boiling antl stewing are the methods by which the goodness of the meat is preserved, either in the meat itself or in the liquor in which it is cooked. If the vessel in which it is cooked is kept tightly covered, so that the steam can not escape, it condenses on the cover and falls back upon the mea, so that the loss of nourish ment is not perceptiole. Four pounds of beef waste in boiling or stowing about one pound of substance, but tins is re- turned iu broth; in baking the same! piece, a pound and quarter is st, unless a small portion chances to caught in surrounding vegetables; in roasting nearly a pound and a half is wasted. It is not saved, as some claim, in the drippings, and, even if it was, it would be poor economy to buy fat at the of price meat for the pleasure of try-inT it out.

Senator Spem-er's Roman. ie arr.a.4re. How did George Spencer, Senator from Alabama, contrive to marry that pretty Cuban girl. Miss Xunez, is the conundrum of the hour here and in New York. You know, of course, all about the private wedding at St.

Bernard's last week, and the sudden departure for Deadwood, the seat of Spencer's warlike operations in mining stocks. And vou know that his bride is a beauty of the Spanish type, is very accomplished antl received some gorgeous wedding gifts. That story, however, about her mother being a Cuban is all wrong. She came of good old North Carolina stock. Her maiden name was Loring, and we no sooner change this name to Xunez than the romance begins to gat lier about the lady Spencer married.

The brothers of Mrs. Xunez were both celeb-riiiesof the North State in their day. The r. as, was the founder of the Willi. ington ZtraA, 60 years ago, and dietl since the war after a life of great activity.

The younger brother, anil the particular favorite of his sister, was William, a tine old chivalrous gentleman, very fond of ladies and soldiers' epaulettes, and devoted to his sister. Mr. Nunez, a gentleman of Portuguese blood and great wealth, wooetl and won this sister on one of his visits to Florida, antl carried her away to set off the beauty of his orange groves in Florida. This was alxmt the time the Mexican war broke out. William went into the service, and was chietlv consoled bv his sister's promise that the first boy should be named for him.

Much to his disappointment, the child was one of the kind that "doesn't count," as Mr. Dombey woultl say. William fought and hoped. In due course of time there began to be symptoms that the wish of his heart was to be gratified at last, and under the. ambition of leaving aglorious name for the little one to carry after him, he fought so bravely and furiousl' at the storming of Monterey that they pinned a Major's epaulettes on to his shoulders.

Imagine, after all this, the cold chill that stole over the Major when the news came that it was a girl. This was getting too monotonous for the patient war rior. He couldn't lie walking into the cannon's mouth all his life on probabilities, and so he held his sister to her promise that "the next one lie named for him." And named it was. Twenty-five 3'cars later, when the minister called her May at the altar, as she held out her hand to George Spencer, vou remember she corrected him wilh the remark that she had been christened "William lairing." The doughty Major condescended, out of regard to the youngster's beauty, to take a great deal of interest in his namesake, antl as she developed into a handsome and brilliant woman, he made her his special protege. He not alone looked after her education, but took her on a long ramble through the Holy Land, anil his particular weakness, the Orient.

In short, as our friend Micaw ber would observe, he acted for all the world as if she did count, in spite of mat lime disappointment "i some years back. A gentleman named Moran married another niece of the Major's and, with his wife's assistance (notice how delicately this is put), kept a tony boanlinsr-house in Clifton Place, New York, during the years lfid-H-7, and it became head-juarters for the Virginia families who visited New York. Here the two Nunez sisters, one of whom later married a Mr. Keed, and Spencer's wife, lived and dazzled and entertained. Miss May was short for Major, the name she alwavs went bv among her frientl.
