But that Mr. Beckley possessed intelligence vr3 proven by his wide-awake eyes, nud by the fact that he had brought no bag-gage to Europe, except the little eachel now depending by a strap from his muscular fliouhhr. Tho Hon. Felix riimpt.f, 31. P., f tapped out on the porch with him. "Hon voyage, Jlr. Beckley.

" How do ye do, Barry? When did re get in from riovertou ?" " You are mistaken in your man, sir," "ni t Mr, Beckley. "What ! Ain't this Barry Baiter?" "No, sir. My name is Beckley." "I beg pardon.

"No, thank you," said Mr. Joe Beckley. " Oil yes, just a minute ; then I'll go on with you." "Very well." "It ia up-staira, I eee. Come on, bit.

I only allowed myenstomer three shillingsor the ticket." The clerk came back with seventyfive pounds in clean Bank of Ed gland netes, and paid them over the counter. " Where are the two shillings ?" We never give small change, sir; I ( will give you two draws instead." " Oh ! All right Here, make it four draws. Here are two shillings more." " A shilling a draw is cheaper than wo usually allow, except for six draws at one time," said tho clerk, blandly. " Won't your friend take a hand?" . "Try a couple, Mr. Beckley." " No," read Jo, "I guess not" 111 give you four, then, at the sixrate, this time," &aid the clerk, and took the money, A drum-like box was produced. Mr. Cowper put in his hand and drew out four envelopes, each containing one. ticket He opened them, and called off the numbers. Three drew nothing ; the fourth drew 1 Is. Four pounds were paid over. "This is splendid luck, Beckley !" whispered Cowper. " Don't you want j to try it.2", ... "I guess not," said Mr. Joe Beckley.

He went elown stairs, hailed a cab, and was whirled toward -the -depot, with a shrewd srmleTon his Ta-nkeo face." John Lemoinne writes, for the March i number of the Nineteenth ' CeMury "a 1 view of the military situation in iiurope from the. French standpoint His conelusion is that England must stand alone in the coming contest He holds that it was Bussian influence that enabled Germany to conquer France, and that since that date Bussian influence has been so powerful in continental j Europe because there has been an understanding between Russia, Austria, and Germany. The egregious mistake of England and France, he declares," was in imagining that the triple alliance would be dissolved. : He holds that the alliance of three continental empires has deeper foundations than are dreamed of; that it is, in fact, a conservative,' a monarchical, a dynastic alliance against European revolution. For this reason France has not wasted her protests against incontestable facts, and because of this she has nothing to do now but to look on and wait for better times. . PJWESTItlJLXISSt. . The great London walking match, just won eo handsomely by'O 'Leary, of "Chicago, will probably yield not a few leseons in the art of pedestrianiam. One such lesson is already evident, -namely, that in a 500-mile walk little is gained by ppnrt of trotting and running.

SUICIDE IN """ From an ofScal report lately published at Copenhagen it appears that, out of , a population. ; pi,, something .less than' .'2,000,01)0, no Vewer than .16,-111-. (1 suicides have , . joccurred . during the last, thirty years in Denmark. The highest, number, --was .reached in 1871;: "wbenc-805: persons, committed , suicide, being about 48 but of every 100, -000 inhabitants. The . peasants seem niore given to the crime than the inhabitants of the towns, and those guilty -of it are generally people above 50 years of age. . About one-fifth of the number are woman, mostly unmarried, while the number of married men who commit suicide is. greater , than that of the bachelors. , , I The months of April, May, and June are most fatal, nearly half the number of suicides being committed during these three months. The favorite mode of self-destruction appears to be hanging, especially among the men, in whose case about 83 per centum of all the suicides were effected in that way. Among women about t0 per centum of the suicides are by drowning. Poisoning and death by fire-arms are very rare, barely some 4 or 5 per centum. , Drunkenness is -in .nearly tws-fifths of the suicides considered to have been the cause. It may be worth remarking that suicides among sailors and fishermen are nearly unknown.'1 ''''' " - - ''-"- , TEXAS IlIOllWAYMEX. ..
