FINLAYSON’S OPERA-GLASSES

Mrs. Finlayson felt aggrieved on returning to the domestic hearth in Bryanstone square one evening, from a short visit to some friends in the country, at finding that her husband was not at home to receive her. If he would not take the trouble to meet her at the st ition, she thought he might at least have made a point of welcoming her on the threshold of his house. She subsequently ascertained that her lord and master had started on a journey to Liverpool early in the morning, and was not expected back till late. This information, however, did not soothe the good lady’s ruffled spirit, though she had been married long enough to realize the exigencies of business. The truth was, that old Mat Finlayson, as his friends called him, after a prolonged and jovial bachelor existence, had developed into such a docile and attentive husband that lie reaped the reward of his excellence in the shape of domestic tyranny and oppression. When the truant at length made his appearance he was greeted by the wife of his bosom in the chilliest manner. The lady was tired and s'eepy, or she mi >ht have had a good deal to say on the subject of his alleged neglect. She contented herself, however, with haughtily repelling his friendly advances and answering his questions in monosyllables. Mr. Finlayson seemed much less tenderly affected by this behavior than usual, a circumstance which did not escape his wife’s notice. He was evidently in a nervous and preoccupied frame of mind, which he explained by saying that he had had a long and disagreeable day’s business. Mrs. Finlayson was so struck by his demeanor that she began to wonder what he had been doing, an uncomfortable suspicion which frequently occurred to her, though it originated entirely in her naturally exacting and jealous disposition. Next morning Mr. Finlayson had to start very early for the city to keep an appointment, and took his departure with remarkable alacrity, as though glad to escape from his wife’s presence. That lady had arrived at the firm conviction, as the result of close observation and watchfulness since his return the preceding evening, that her lord ' was oppressed by some guilty secret. She knew the outward and visible signs of business worries, and felt sure that the cause of his present uneasiness was a troubled conscience arising from some serious misdemeanor. No doubt the demon of jealousy helped her to arrive at this conclusion, but it is certain that for some reason or other Mr. Finlayson did not appear to regard the . home-coming of his wife on tins occasion with unmixed satisfaction. The morning’s post did not arrive until alter he had left, and consequently Mrs. Finlayson assumed the wifely function of opening her husbands letters. It seemed as though there was nothing in the correspondence to satisfy the uneasy curiosity which prompted her to examine every letter with increased attention. But when she came to the last of the batch—a blue, officiallooking envelope, which she had put aside as eminently uninteresting—she was seized with mild mystification. It was a formal communication from the Director of the Lost Property Office, at Scotland Yard, stating that a pair of field-glasses, bearing the name and address of Mr. Finlayson, had been found in a public conveyance the day before, and would be restored on payment of a small percentage upon the declared value. What struck Mrs. Finlayson as strange upon reading this intimation was that her husband’s field-glasses stood at the present moment on the mantel-shelf in bis dressing-room. She had by chance noticed them just before, but to make sure she immediately went up stairs to satisfy herself upon the point. The glasses were beyond a doubt in their accustomed place. With vague curiosity Mrs. Finlayson took them out of the case, inside which was glued one of her husband’s visiting cards, inscribed with his name and address. She knew they were the only glasses he possessed, and consequently they must be the identical ones referred to in the communication from the police. A few moments’ reflection suggested the probable explanation of what had happened with regard to them. Evidently they had been claimed at the Lost Property Office after the police had dispatched to her husband a formal intimation of their recovery. This, however, was a very small part of the mystery. The serious question was, what had hei" husband wanted to take the glasses to Liverpool for, and why had he made no mention of his singular good luck in recovering a valuable article left in a cab? The obvious answer seemed to be that he bad not gone to Liverpool at all, but had attended some race meeting, under 1 the pretense of being away on business. This idea came to Mrs. Finlayson like a revelation, and she resolved to sift the matter to the bottom. For her morning drive she went to Scotland Yard, where she obtained a confirmation of her theory as to what had taken place concerning the glasses. They were brought in early in the morning by the driver of a hansom cab, who had just taken a fare at King’s Cross station to catch the special train for Doncaster races. The owner’s name and address being found inside the case an official notice was sent off, according to custom; but later in the day a lad, apparently a clerk, came, who said that Mr. Finlayson had telegraphed him to inquire for the glasses at Scotland Yard, and, if necessary, to pay the finder’s fee. As the application was evidently bona fide the glasses was given up. Mrs. Finlayson did not know whether to be elated or dismayed by the result of these inquiries, for, while there was a sort of grim satisfaction in finding her surmises were correct, the information thus acquired suggested alarming imposture and deceit on the part of her husband. It looked as though he were accustomed to spend the time which she innocently thought he devoted exclusively to business in a more agreeable but less

profitable manner. But, even supposing this to be the case, what was the reason for his concealing the fact ? She did not object to his going to a race-meet-ing occasionally, and she had even accompanied him now and again on these excursions. If, during her absence, the spirit had moved him to pay a visit to Doncaster, why need he have made a mystery about the matter ? She forgot, perhaps, that she might have been tempted to indulge in unpleasant remarks about his taking advantage of her temporary absence to plunge into a vortex of dissipation and profligacy; and had this reflection occurred to her it might have furnished a clew to her husband’s mysterious behavior. But Mrs. Finlayson was not in a mood to find excuses for him, being possessed of gloomy forebodings and jealous suspicions. She instinctively felt that she had made a discovery wliich might lead tJ disclosures affecting her domestic happiness, and was irresistibly impelled to follow the matter up and astertain the worst. She therefore obtained from the police the name and address of the cabman who had restored the glasses, in order to satisfy her mind upon the vital point of whether her husband had gone to the races alone or in equivocal society. Mrs. Finlayson was a strong-minded woman, and was not to be daunted by trifles. Thus, though the cabman she was in search of lived in a mews in a distant suburb, she did not hesitate to proceed thither immediately. Her enterprising spirit was rewarded by the coincidence that the cabman drove up to change his horse just as she reached his address. He was a civil-spoken young fellow, and readily answered her inquiries. He recollected driving an elderly gentleman to King's Cross Station the previous morning to catch an early train for Dover. The gentleman had hailed him as he was passing the top of Bryan stone square, and came out of one of the houses on the left-hand side. There was a sly look on the man’s face -while he spoke which plainly showed that he could tell more if he chose. He was loyal enough, however, not to volunteer information rashly, and it was only on being pressed that he revealed the damning fact that his fare had ordered him to drive by Regent's Circus, where he had met—evidently by appointment —a fashionably-dressed young lady, who accompanied him on his expedition. Mrs. Finlayson rewarded the man for his civility, and returned home quivering with rage and indignation. It was a severe shock to her feelings to learn that her husband, whose conjugal fidelity and devotion she had never really doubted, was carrying on an unhallowed flirtation with another woman. When she reflected that she now occupied the painful and invidious position of a wronged wife, she felt overwhelmed by the magnitude of the misfortune which had befallen her, and her anger gave place to bitter humiliation and anguish. Bu£, though she would now fain have persuaded herself that her suspicions were groundless, her fatal curiosity impelled her, on her arrival home, to crossquestion Simmonds, the butler. Mr. Simmonds was a sedate and pompus individual, whose only merit was attachment to his master, whom he had served in the capacity of valet in his bachelor days. A kind of armed neutrality existed between Simmonds and his m'stress, each being secretly jealous of the other’s influence over the head of the household. Mrs. Finlayson made her inquiries guardedly, but was met by a similar spirit of caution. It soon became evident that, whatever the man knew or suspected of his master's proceedings, he was not going to reveal anything. He did not deny, however, that Mr. Finlayson had been a.way from home a good deal during his wife’s absence, and his marked reserve served to confirm his mistress’ suspicions. “Y r our master left early yesterday morning, did he not, Simmonds?” said Mrs. Finlayson. “What time did he leave?” “He left the house shortly after 1 halfpast six,, ma’am,” replied the man, sulkily. “Did he leave in a cab?” “He hailed one at the end of the square. I was sounding my whistle on the door-step when master hurried past me and said he could not wait.” Poor Mrs. Finlayson’s heart sank on hearing this. These apparently trifling details fitted in exactly with the cabman’s evidence. “Did—did your master take his field glasses with him ?” inquired Mrs. Finlayson, in desperation. “I don’t know, ma’am,” replied the man with strong deliberation which belied his words. Mrs. Finlayson asked nothing further, being entirely convinced, not only of her husband’s deceit, but also that the man Simmonds was his abettor and accomplice. She began to reflect seriously how she should act in the present disagreeable emergency. Strangely enough, the startling revelation which had come upon her so unexpectedly seemed to have subdued both her temper and her strong-mindedness. She thought more of her wretchedness than of venting her righteous anger or indignation upon her offending spouse. To add to her tribulation she was troubled by self-upbraid ng thoughts, which accused her of haying habitually presumed upon her husband’s eisv good nature, and of having probably by that means alienated his affections from her. This litter reflection materially increased her unhappiness, though it inclined her to forbearance and forgiveness. When her husband returned in the evening he found her in tears, the picture of misery and despair. He looked startled and uneasy at the sight of lief distress, and nervously inquired what ailed her. “Oh! Matthew, how can you ask?” she exclaimed, shrinking from his embrace. “I know the truth about yesterday. Y r ou have been deceiving me for a long time.” “My love, I acted with the best intentions,” he answered, eagerly. “I only wished to spare you your brother’s disgrace. Heaven knows! I have been worried out of my life over that wretched business, and was afraid I should not be able to avert a criminal prosecution. However, I shipped him off to America yesterday, and hoped you would never know anything of the matter.” “What! my brother Hubert?” exclaimed Mrs. Finlayson, with a start. “Yes. Ever since I put him into our Liverpool house I have been uneasy about him, and there is no doubt, I’m afraid, that he forged that acceptance. However, he has escaped the serious consequences of his indiscretion, and let us hope that in a new country he will amend his ways,” said Mr. Finlayson, seating himself on the sofa and kissing his wife, sympathetically. Mrs. Finlayson was silent for a moment, rendered speechless by the intensity of her emotion. A humiliating sense of her own meanness and ingratitude caused a flush of shame to mount to her cheek. She could not, however, restrain herself from saying: “I had an idea, Matthew, until now, that you might have gone to Doncaster yesterday.” “Not I,” replied her husband, in evident surprise. “But, by Jove!” he added, rising and ringing the bell violently, “that reminds me! a man I met to-day swears positively that he saw

Simmonds There. The rascal must have bolted off directly my back was turned without asking permission.”— London Truth. ' •

Napoleen III. and Men of Talent.

Napoleon 111. and the Empress naturally attached importance to drawing eminent men of letters to court; but for the very reason that honors and more substantial things were showered upon those who came, every author and jourr-itt who declared himself a Bonapartist, got accused of selling his pen, and lost influence. From his rock at Guernsey Victor Hugo exercised a dreaded pontificate over the world of jetters, thundering anathemas against those who held any parley with “The Man of December.” He had sworn in magnificent verses written in his“Chatiments,” never to re-enter France so long as the empire lasted, and he kept his word; yet on one or two occasions the Emperor caused him to be treated with dignified courtesy. When “Les Miserables” was published, Theophile Gautier, who was literary critic of The Moniteur, wrote a brilliant panegyric on his book; but the editor was afraid to insert it until he had submitted a proof to the Emperor. Napoleon 111. at once ordered that the article should appear; and when next he saw Gautier at one of the Empress’ Monday night receptions, said a few kindly words to him in praise of Victor Hugo’s genius. He was always gracious in this way to those who approached him in a friendly spirit, and it may truly be said that no sovereign ever treated writers with such high consideration as he did. There is a story of the Princess Adelaide, Louis Philippe’s sister, having, in the fondness of her heart, sent fifty francs by a footman to a renowned critic, who, she had heard, was in straightened circumstances. Napoleon 111. never affected to regard writers after this lofty fashion, as Bohemians. He put Prosper Merimee, Ponsard and Sainte Beuve into the Senate, thereby giving them salaries of £1,200 a year. He made ■ the Corps Legislatif vote a pension of 20,000 francs a year to Lamartine, a Republican; Octave Feuillet he appointed librarian at Fontainebleau; and Jules Sandeau, librarian at Compeigne, snug and well-paid little sinecures. Edmond About was sent by bin* on special missions, and commissioned to write pamphlets; and numbers of other agreeable writers, taking the definition given in “Lothair” of agreeable people, were made happy with inspectorships of fine arts, custodianships of museums, and so forth. The Emperor was even sedulous to provide half-way houses for men of talent who were willing to forsake the opposition without going over at once to the Tuilleries. The Princess Mathilde used to " offer charming hospitality to these demi-rallios, and at one time Prince Napoleon made of the Palais Royal a place of resort for men like Ernest Renan, Emile de Girardin, Emile Ollivier, and others who were trying to form an Imperial Liberal party. All this was no use, however, and the Emperor got little more assistance from the authors whom he petted than from the loyal cures whom he promoted to be bishops. The cures, when they had obtained their mitres, ceased to gush about the Napoleons* and tried to curry favor with the Vatican; while the men of letters who went to court, avoided writing a line in favor of, the empire, but rather gave that institution sly digs with their pens to avoid the reproach of servility. Among the papers found at the Tuileries after Sedan, was the plot in the Emperor’s own hand of a novel which he had desired that some popular writer should work up for him. It was to describe the adventures of one Jean Bernard, who, coming up to Paris full of disloyal ideas put into his head by Republicans, was to be converted to Bonapartism by the splendors of the capital, and the sight of the many great and good things which the Empire had done for the workingman. The novel was never written, but the hero, Bernard, whether he came from the French provinces, from England, or from across the Atlantic, was a type of Bonapartist proselyte common enough.— London Times.

The Sun.

In any reference to the physical Imstory of the sun, the stupendous magnitude of its sphere must be kept vividly present to the mind. With a diameter 105 times longer than that of the earth’s, the solar orb looks out into space from a surface that is twelve thousand times larger than the one which the earth enjoys. The bulk of the sun is one million three hundred thousand times that of the earth. If the surface of the sun were a thin external rind, or shell, and the earth were placed in the middle of this hollow sphere, not only would the moon have space to circle in its usual orbit without ever getting outside of the solar shell, but there would be room also for a second satellite, nearly as far again as the moon, to accomplish a similar course. The weight of the sun is three hundred thousand times the weight of the earth, or, in round numbers, two thousand millions of millions of millions of millions of tons. The mean distance of the sun from the earth is now so well ascertained, through investigations which have been made in several distinct ways, that there can scarcely be in the estimate an error of 500,000 miles. The distance, at the present time given, is 92,885,000 miles. This measure is in itself so vast that, if any traveler were to move at the rate of four miles an hour for ten hours a day, it would take him 6,300 years to reach the sun. Sound would traverse the interval if there were anything in space capable of transmitting sonorous vibrations, in fourteen years, and a cannon ball sustaining its initial velocity throughout, would do the same thing in nine years. A curious illustration, attributed to Prof. Mendenhall, is to the effect that an infant, with an arm long enough when stretched out from the earth to reach the sun, would die of old age before it could be conscious, through the transmission of the nervous impression from the hand to the brain, that it had burned its fingers. In order that the earth, thus moving round the snn with a chasm of 93,000,000 miles of intervening space between them, may not be drawn to the sun by the preponderant attraction of 330,000 times larger mass, it has to shoot forward in its path with a momental velocity fifty times more rapid than that of the swiftest rifle ball. But, in moving through twenty miles of this onward path, the earth is drawn out < f a straight line by something less than the eighth part of an inch. This deviation is properly the source from which the amount of the solar attraction has been ascertained. If the earth were suddenly arrested in its onward flight, and its momentum was in that way destroyed, it would be drawn to the sun, by an irresistible force of its attraction, in four months, or in the twenty-seventh part of the time which a cannon ball would take to complete the same journey.—Edinburgh Review. A French widow was very indignant because the railroad company did not pay her any more than they did the widow of another man who had also been killed by a railroad train. The railroad officials said that the tw’O men came to their death under s'milar cir-. cumstances. “Oh, that’s all very well as a matter of talk,” said the widow, “but, as a matter of fact, my husband was killed by the lightning express, while her man was run over by a wayfreight train.”

Gossip About House Decoration.

A new and very handsome style of art needle-work is coming into vogue. The raised designs upon Indian scarfs and Persian wraps are cut out and appliqued on to plush or velvet to serve as screens, portieres, etc. The effect is really beautiful, the designs themselves are so fanciful and most graceful combinations, looking even better upon the deep tones of the plush or velvet backgrounds than they do on the light Eastern fabrics. .It is no longer the fashion to light up large rooms with central chandeliers; on the contrary, light is now provided from the corners of the room by means of upright pillars with extending branches, from which gas-lights gleam brilliantly. The electric light has not yet made much headway in private houses. Painting upon mirrors is brought to great perfection by lady artists, and is much used now in decoration. In the London residence of the artist Boughten, a beautiful calla lily seems to spring from the frame across the glass. It was ingeniously painted there by the artist himself to conceal a flaw in the glass. The patch-work upon which our grandmothers exercised so much ingenuity is the subject of a revival, or, we ought rather to say, of a new departure. This novel patch-work is made by cutting foundation squares of muslin, all the same size, and arranging upon them odds and ends of silk or ribbon, plush or velvet, in any way the maker pleases, basting them together with feather stitch in gold-colored fileselle. The squares when completed are joined together in the same way, and the result is a harmonisus confusion of colors which has quite an Eastern effect. Tidies, those misnamed articles of drawing-room adornment, are to be abolished; in their stead small squares of lace or muslin, or even of darker material, are fitted into the backs of chairs and securely fastened in position. A very strange material has been pressed into service for chair coverings, being nothing less than the saddlebags used by travelers in crossing the great desert. The rough w oolen material which forms the outside covers the front of the chair, while that which is the lining of the saddle-bag provides material for the back of the furniture. In appearance they are very quaint and handsome. Alligator skin, which has for some time been used for bookbindings and slippers, is now the fashion for ladies’ reticules and hand-bags. It is handsome in appearance, but as it takes very few colors, there is no possibility of much decoration- or the exercise of taste in trimming, etc. But, if not particularly striking, bags made of this material are extremely durable, and will last until their owners are tired of them.— New York Times.

Training Off.

In the present eager struggle for existence, still more in the ambitious race for pre-eminence, overwork is manifesting itself on all sides, and in all positions in life. Overstudy is telling upon our students in this crazy age of examinations, when every person has to be a perambulating encyclopedia, no matter what the state of the physique when the educational course has terminated. The number of cases of self-destruction from anxiety and nervousness among young men preparing for modern examinations is appalling. Of old the young man who “overstudied" was a weakminded youth, whose brain broke down before an ordinary, common-place educational course, easily surmounted by an average intellect. Now it is no uncommon thing to know young men who complain that they no longer feel an interest in their work, and that they can not remember what they read; that their sleep is broken, and that they no longer possess the power of self-eontrol they once enjoyed. When such loss of self-control is found along with periods of deep depression, then the temptation to suicide may become irresistible. Such break-downs after a more or less brilliant schoolastic career are, unfortunately, now no uncommon event. Indeed, it may be laid down as a broad rule for the guidance of youthful students that so soon as the interest in their studies flags, or the memory is becoming less retentive, they are distinctly overworking. In athletics the terms used are to “train on,” and to “train off.” To “train on” indicates growing power and increasing fitness sor 1 exertion; in other words, “improvement.” To “train off ” signifies waning power, or “falling off ” in capacity. So long, then, as study carries with it waning capacity it is" “work;” when, on the other hand, the student feels “training off,” then the boundary has been passed and the domain of “overwork” entered. Still more urgent does the case become when,, along with a sense of waning power, the sleep is broken and unrefreshing or the digestion is upset. The danger signals have been run through, in railway phraseology, when these things are experienced. Such are the usual phenomena of overwork, manifested along with symptoms peculiar to each case.— Good Words.

The Big Gun Makers.

Of iron men named Krupp there are two in Germany having A for their sole initial. Both originally belonged to the same firm, and how they became separated forms an interesting story, which has just been told in Paris, where Hugh Arthur Krupp recently arrived. In 1855 the Krupps, by being thus together, took to easting guns at their factory, and in 1863 made the weapon which took the first prize at the French exhibition of 1867. Soon after this thedirm proposed to Marshal Niel Von Moltke to cast for both their governments respectively, an offer wlfieh was the cause of the retirement of Arthur Krupp, who founded thereupon an iron foundry at Berndorf, in Austria, and left Alfred to conduct the works at Essen. Arthur’s foundry, outside of Europe, if often there, is not heard of, but Alfred’s gun business is the wonder of the world, as the statistics will show that it ought to be. The population of the Essen works is 15,700, and the number of boilers and engines is as follows: 429 boilers, 453 steam engines, with a horse power of 18,500; 82 steam hammers, and 1,556 furnaces, of which 14 are high furnaces, producing 300,000 tons ot steel and 26,000 tons of iron yearly. ‘ Cornelius Vanderbilt, the eldest son of W.

Criminals in the Insane Asylum.

There is a just indignation in the hearts of many people who have considered the subject of committing criminals to insane asylums to protect them from the law. There is no doubt that there is something wrong and rotten in many of the courts of lunacy, or they could not take such action as they do. It has come to such a shameful pass that almost every criminal, no matter what his offense may have been, can find a set of men who will trace out symptoms of insanity and send the villain, who is eligible to the penitentiary, into the asylum sustained for the unfortunate of the State, who are in many cases kept out because the asylums are crowded with thieves and other scoundrels of every description seeking to escape the penalties of their crimes. —Richmond Independent.
