Victims of tbe Revolution.
Bartlielemy Manrico gives the number of persons sent from the Conciergerie to the guillotine as 2,742. Of these 844 wero women, 41 were infants, 102 were over 70 years of age, while one man, D. T. G. Dcrvilly, epicier, Rue Mouft'etard, was 03 years of age. Taine suggests that tho numbers given are understated, and it is more than probable that such records, at least during the Terror, were badly kept and aro unreliable. For anything liko a correct record of the total number of victims of the Jacobins we must consult Taine.
The error surely consists in underestimating greatly the number of persons destroyed, and the traditions of the Conciergerie as to the numbers butchered in the September massacres are doubtless untrustworthy. Of those butchered no full record was kept. Considering the Conciergerie as a storehouse for tho guillotino and remembering how short a time tho mass of the prisoners passed within its walls, it may bo asked, How shall we find adequate recorders of tho facts of the life in the prison?—Quarterly Review.
Mendelssohn's Contempt For Liszt. "You know," said Liszt, "that Mendelssohn, who was tho most jealous musician that ever lived, always had a dislike for me, and 011 one occasion, at a soiree at Dr. K. 's, ho drew a picture of tho devil on a blackboard, playing his minor concerto with live hammers, in lieu of lingers, on each hand. Tho truth of the matter is that I once played his concerto in minor from tho manuscript, and as I found several of the passages rather simple and not broad enough, if I may use the term, I changed them to suit my own ideas. This of course annoyed Mendelssc.hu, who. unlike Schumann or Chopin, would never tako a hint or advice from any one. Moreover, Mendelssohn, who, although a refined pianist, was not a virtuoso, never could play my compositions with any kind of effect, his technical skill being inadequate to the execution of intricate passages. So tho only courso open to him, ho thought, was to vilify mo as a musician. And of course whatever Mendelssohn did Leipsic did also. "—Etude.
Charity of Speech.
Charity of speech is as divine a thing as charity of action. To judge no one harshly, to misconceive no man's motives. to believe things are as they seem to be until they aro proved otherwise, to temper judgment with mercy—surely this is quite as good as to build up churches, establish asylums and found colleges. Unkind words do as much harm as unkind deeds. Many a heart has been wounded beyond cure, many a reputation has been stabbed to deathby a few little words. There is a charity which consists in withholding words, in keeping back harsh judgments, in abstaining from speech, if to speak is to condemn. Such charity hears the tale of slander, but does not repeat it listens in silence, but forbears comment then locks the unpleasant secret up in the very depths of the heart. Silenco can still rumor. It is speech that keeps a story alive and lends it vigor. —Selected.
Eloquent Rags.
"Eloquence is speaking out—out of tho abundance of the heart." say the authors of "Guesses at Trutli." An incident related by Dr. Barnardo, the English philanthropist who cares for friendless children, illustrates this characteristic of eloquence. "I was standing," ho said, "at my front door one bitter day in winter, when a little ragged chap came up to me and asked me for an order of admission. To test him I pretended to be rather rough with him. 'How do I know,' I said, 'if what you tell mo is true? Have you any friends to speak for you?' 'Friends!" lie shouted. 'No, I ain't got no friends', but if these 'ere rags'— and he waved his arm about as ho spoke —'woirt speak for me, nothin else will.'

When Mapleson was on a tour in Dnblin, Miles. Salla and Anna do Belocca were in tho company. O11 arriving at the hotel both ladies choso the best suit of rooms in it. each saying, "The.--e will do for me." "I shall have tliom.^ said Salla. "I am prima donna." "Thero aro two prima donnas," returned Belocca, "myself and Patti." This began a furious quarrel. Mapleson went to tho hotel keeper and ascertained that there wero some other rooms nearly as good. He enjoined tho man to declare that they were for Lady Spencer, wife of tho viceroy, and stand to tho statement. He then called him up and said loudly: "B..th these ladies must have equally good rooms. Whoro aro tho others?" "The only others as large aro reserved for tho Countess Spencer,'' returned tho hotel keeper. "But wo could seo them?" exclaimed both singers at once. "Oh. yes," said tho man, leading the way. Belocca instantly flew up stair-, past him into the suit, and locking tho door in their faces shouted through tho keyhole that Lady Spencer must get 011 as best sho could, leaving Mapleson to congratulate himself on thoeil'ect of his strategem.
Aturrioji's Frost loss lrlt.
What is supposed to be the only frostless belt in th United Stat's lies between be city, Los Angeies and the Pacific ocean. It traverses t:loothills of the Cahuenga range and ha.- an elevation of between 000 and 0 feet. In breadth it is perhaps three Miles. The waters of the Pacific are visible from it, and the proximity of tho ocean has of course something to do with bauishing frosts. During the winter season this tract produces tomatoes, peas, beans and other tender vegetables, and hero tho lemon flourishes, a treo that is peculiarly susceptible to cold. Tropical trees may also be cultivated with success, and in connection with this fact it is interesting to know that a part of tho favorite territory has been acquired by Los Angeles for park purposes, and it is only a question of time when the city will have the unique distinction of possessing the only tropical park in the United States. Strange to say, only the midway region of the Cahuenga range is free from frost, tho lower part of ilie valley being occasionally visited.—New York Post,

Mr. Jospeh Willard, for a long time clerk of tho superior court of Massachusetts, in Boston, relates in his "Half a Century With Judges ind Lawyers" many good anecdotes.
Colonel Edward G. Parker, who was rather pedantic, wrote a life of Mr. Choate. He was relating an incident which happened in tho third century before Christ, about tho time of the death of Ptolemy III. and I10 appealed to John S. Holmes, who stood by.

Art Critics.
Some genuine "voces povnili" overheard at the academy are given in The National Observer. The writer "came upon a couple of old men entranced with tho realism of Mr. Joy's 'Bayswater Bus.* 'That's what I c-all a picture, cried one of tho patriarchs. You can read the advertisements so plain.' "But the best remark of all was made by a comely dame anent Mr. Sydney P. Hall's Viva voce In the Old Schools, Oxford.' 'Which of them is Viva Voce?' she inquired of her cavalier, who replied evasively, 'I supposo tho 0110 bending over the table.'
Why We Kat Soup First.
It has been remarked that the habit of beginning dinner with soup doubtless grew out of the fact that aliment in this readily digested form soon enters tho blood and rapidly refreshes tho hungry man. In two or three minutes after taking a plate of good warm consomme the feeling of weariness disappears, and the temper is apt to bo greatly improved. The custom of taking a glass of sherry before dinner is spoken of by Sir Honry Ihompson as a "gastronomical and physiological blunder."

It was recent ly as'-ertained that tho tower of Darrington church, about four miles from Pontefract, had suffered some damage during tho wihtcr gales. Tho foundations wero irefully examined, when it was fonnd that under the west side of the tower, only about afoot deep from the surface, tho body of a man had been placed in a sort of bed in tho solid roil:, and tho west wall was actually resting upon his skull. Tho gentle vihrat ion of tho tower had opened tho sutures in tho skull and caused a crack of about inches long. The grave must have, been prepared and the Wall placer! with doliberato intention upon tho head of tho person buried, and this was done with such caro and art that all remained as placcd for at least 000 years—till, in fact, the storm of December last found out tho weak placc.
