That we have an enli"ely unscrupulous enemy is, or ought to be, apparent to all.

The Tables Turned.
Some time ago we gave an account of the way quite large girls are flogged in the English schools, a manner that would be called indecent in this country. We are glad to see by the following account, which we take frdm: an English paper, that in one instance "a girl had a suitable revenge, and made the teacher feel how good it was to be strapped. A spirited girl broke some of^the^ school regulations, the penalty of w~Viiclr was a whipping. She rebelled, and refused to submit to the eastigation. Pier parents were written to for permission to restrain her. She being an officer's daughter, word was^ sent that discipline must be enforced she must lesign herself to the punishment. She would not yield, and, therefore, was forcibly held down, exposed and flagellated. As a further penalty for mutiny, she was compelled to spend her vacdtifm at school. She was sixteen years 6f'flg6, and the insult and indignation offered to her womanhood rankled. With her young cousin, a midshipman, she concocted a plan for revenge. Seizing the opportunity when the household were abroad and the matron alone, obedient to a signal the young midshipnaan was on hand and assisted to gag and strap the matron down. Then he disappeared, and the young lady, appropriating fhe same-instruments with wliiclishe had been tortured (leather thongs), with all her strength laid therrt upon the bare person of her instructor, whom she then left to regain liberfy as.she couM, while she sousrlit the protection of an uncle. Her relative, who was rich and powerful, while appearing to censure, really espoused her cause, negotiated with her parents, and fining her embittered against them, and unwilling to return home, Anally adopted her.

The North-German Galleons- Prizes French Cruizers. There are about one hundred sail of North-German vessels detained in the northeastern ports, aiul.no ie of them are likely to leave until the termination of hostilities, unless they are sold to owners belonging to neutral ports. German owners bougth largely of Amierican tunnage duiing the w'ar in that country, and it is ou ts likely that some of the handsome Bremen vessels now in our ports may sail under the stars and stripes. There is a large number of German seamen already employed in the British mercantile navy in connection with theTyne but it is not known what will be done with the crews of the vessels now detained in this and adjacent ports. Several vessels have sailed from the Tyn.e for Hamburg, and among the vessels which left the river coal-laden on Saturday was a French ship bound to Hamburg. It is stated by North-German ship-masters that within the next month above forty sail of largo North-German vessels may be expected in the Chops of the channel, laden with valuable cargoes from South America for Hamburg and other places, and as the masters of these will have no knowledge of the outbreak of iiostiliiies between France and Prussia, they are likely to fall easy victims to the cruisers of the former country, who, no doubt will be on the look-out for them "flf

A Horrible Death.
•The Mexico (Mo.) Ledger says "One day last week a most horrible accident occurred some ten or twelve miles south of this city, which terminated ill the death of a highly respectable young man by the name of Greer. We give the particulars substantially as we received them •"rom a source that we esteem reliable? Mr. Greer, it seems, was on top of an oats stack, whether engaged in stacking, o.'for what purpose we did not learn. He had a small, well-seasoned hickory po!e, sharpened at both ends, which was intended to be run domi in the centre of the stack, to prevent t^ top from being blown off by the wind. Pie accidentally let this pole fall, one end of which stuck in tiie ground, the other end pointing upward and leaning against the stack. From some cause which we failed to learn, he slipped down from the stack precisely where the pole was standing, the upper part of which entered his groin. He clung to the stack and gave the alarm, but the only person within hearing was a woman, who came promptly to his assistance, but being unable to relieve him from his terrible situation, she ran off and called for help. When the help arrived the unfortunate man, it seem?, had become exhausted in his hold upon the stack, and the pole had passed upward through his bowels and chest, coming out at the top of his shoulder, from which it protruded more than a foot.
It was more than two hours before medcal aid could be.had, during which time the young man was horribly impaled on the fiole. He lingered, Ave understand, several hours after the pole v'as extracted, besore death came to his aid.
NYe loai'n that Mr. Greer was a worlhy and industrious young man, and the main stay on which his widowed mother leaned for support and comfort.'.'..
Triumph of a Pretty. Woman. Life becomes mo.e harmonious,, it 'beats witlva keener, pulse enjoy me at, in the presence of pretty women. After all, a charming little'figure, a piquant little face is the best remedy for half the ills of existence, its worries, its vexations, its dullness, its disappointments. And even in the larger and more placid types of beauty, in the beauty of a Lady Dumbello, if there is a tinge of stupidity,-thei£ is at any rate an atmosphere of repose, a genial influence molding our social converse and habits into gentler shapes.

dress, it tells on the home. Flowers, picturfcs tl^ gay notes of a sdiiata, the coziest of couches, gorgeous hues of Indian tapestry, gloss-work or Murano, a hundred exquisite somethings and nothings, are the natural setting of prety women. The art of the boudoir tells on all but the^cliaos of the husband's study. Aroundthat last refuge of barbarism floats an atmosphere of taste and refinement in which the pretty little wife lives and moves and has her being. And from this tone of the home grows the tone of society, the social laws of good humor, of propriety, of self-restraint} of consideration for others, of gentleness, of Vivacity. The very hush of the rough tones that have thundered over Peloponnese as Pericles bends over Aspasia, the little turns and delicacies of phrase, the joyous serfdoms and idlenesses/of :the manliest and most energetic, of meh, tell of the triumph of pretty women.—Saturday Review. $ -t.

In every movement, in the very sweep of her ampie folds, in the pose of her languor, in the gay start of her excitement, one feels the softening, harmonizing influence of her last look in the glass. She may be gay or sorrowful, or quiet or energetic, she must be pretty. Beauty exercises an imperceptible compulsion over her which molds her whole lite into graceful and harmonious forms. Her dress rises out of the mere clothing of man into regions of science, of poetry, of art.
