DOymGaII Of the Crown.

The London papers say that when the Queen
appeared in the House of Lords TO read heI
speech at the prorogalion, the Duke of Argyle
whose Office il is TO bear the crown, on cush.
ion stumbled, when approaching the throne, and
let the crown fall. Several of the jewels were
displaced from their setting by the shock, ,and lay
scattered on the floor. Tradition says that one
of the largest jewels fell from the crown at the
coronation of George the Third and the incident
was looked upon with superstitious dread as ar
evil omen. 1t was supposed to portend the loss
of the North American Colonies; but it was We
ry probable that the tale was manufactured after
the tulflment of the supposed augury.

Any thing fem this new country is interest
ing. The last letter we have seen is dated
"Wallamette, Nov. 4, lS44,' a good while ago
TO be sure, but it contains news which has not
been given TO our readers. 1t is written by DR..
White, and represents the citizens of that coun-
try, as having established government for them
selves-a Legislature, Judiciary, &c. The le-
gislature met at Willamette, on the 25th of May,
1914, was in session nine days, passed in proper
form 25 bills which were appropriate 10 the reg
ulaton of their intercourse. They laid tax,
and prohibited the introduction, manufacture or
sale of ardent spirits in theterritory which were
the most important acts we noticed. The pay
ment of the tax was cheerfully submitted to-
the people generally believing it their interest to
keep up their government, which could not be
done without the payment Of a tax. But the
liquor business held out inducements too strong
for the minds of some of the citizens. Accor-
dinghy some few individuals entered into its ma
nufacure. The law was not to take effect until
the expiration eff sixty days During the inter-
i'm its manufacture was commenced, and wind oil
1t came to the Seat of government, when pub
lie meeting was called, and the following resolu-
ton was passed with but one dissenting voice:

take such assistance as he may require, and forth

quor that may be found in this vicinity or dis

The Doctor started next morning, in company
with the governor and his secretary, and ten vol
unteers. They found distilIery composed oI
a large potash kettle for boiler, two hogshcads
and eight barrels of slush or beer, and part of q
barrel of molasses. The preparations they sool
knocked into pi-desroyed-a river was form

heads-the boiler was taken into town; in two

In Favor of NEnrriage.

Powers, the sculptor, writing to friend of
what some people call the folly Of marrying with
out the means TO support family expresses frank
ly his own fears when he found himself in this ve-
Try position, but, he adds with characteristic can
dor, "to tell yOu the truth, hoWeper, the family
and the poUcrty haze done more to support me-,
than l haze to support them. They have compel
led me to make exertions that hardly tho't my
self capableof and often, when on the eve of de-
sparing, they have forced me, like coward in
corner, to fight like hero, not for myself but
my wife and little ones, l have now as much
work to do as can execute, unless can find
some more assistance in the marble; and have
a prospect Of farther commissions"
| The truth, as expressed above by the gifted
sculptor, is like similar remark we heard made
not long since by gentleman of Boston, who tri-
ed matrimony in the same way, and found after
wards that the loose change in his pocket which
| he had before squandered in Efoosh noions''--
young mems Uhims-as he called them, was
enough TO support prudent wife, who by we'll
regulated economy, had provided fortune in
herself, and had saved a snug sum in money for
her once careless husband, ga wife to direct a
man towards proper ambition and to q geneel
economy" he said, was like timely succor at
sea, to save him from destruction on porilous
voyage.-Boston Transcript,

A Es:st.

1t is not generally known thai, to a certain ex-
tent, the bite Of rat, if not actually poisonous,
is, nevertheless, so venomous, as TO create great
apprehension Of danger, and in moments of des-
peraton, we consider the bite Of a rat as fatal as
that of ratesnake, and both should be avoid
ed. The Boston Post notices an extraordinary
case occurring in that city: "A young man ma
med Hays, an assistant in the provision store Of
Mr.. Bancroft, on the corner of Purchase and Fed
cral streets, went home to his house, and putting
his hand into oloaot in the dark, folt it seized
sharply. Upon Withdrawing it, he found large
rat adheriDg to him so firmly, that he could not
shake off till he had killed it, The wound left
was nconsderable, and Mr.. Hays thought moth
ing Of the matter until his hand began 10 swell
Upon calling medical aid, it was found that the
virus had spread through his system, and he now
lies in very dangerous state. In the opinion oI
the physicians amputation would be useless, and
he can live but short time. The swelling in
the hand has now subsidized, and it appears as il

ding in Courtland street, slept at night with his
hand and arm hanging over tho bed-stead. A

limb, but a severe fit of jaundice followed the
bite, evidently showing the result of the poison

At late meeting Of the British Association
held at Cambridge, in England, Sir John Her
schel speaking on this subject, considered as
probable the attainment by its surface, of a very
high temperature (far above that of boiling wa
'ter) after exposure to unmitigated and continual
sunshine, during nearly a fortnight. The moon,
therefore, when at the full, and for few days
after, must be, in some small degree, source Of
heat 10 the earth; but this heat, being of the ma
ure rather Of culinary than Of solar heat (as en-
anatng from body below the temperature OF
gntion) will never reach the earth's surface, be.
ing arrested and absorbed in the upper strata ol
an atmosphere, where its whole effect will ne
lcessarly be expended in the conversion of visi-
BILE clouds into transparent vapor. The pheno-
menon olthe rapid dissipation of cloud soon af'
ter the appearance Of the full moon, (or moon
SO nearly full as 10 appear full to the unassisted
eye) which he stated himself to have observed OF
so many occasions as to be fully convinced Of the
reality Of strong tendency in that direction
seemed to him only eNplicabe on this principle.

An IIndecaYed R0dY.

Mr. Todd, our Minister to the National Insti-
tute, at Washington, gives curious account Of
body, buried more than hundred years ago.
which remains still uncoHupted, lie says:
"There is a singular case of an undecayed
body at Regal, an ancient German town on the
present Russian shore of the Baltic, visited
the church in which it is preserved, and where
il is exhibited TO strangers. II is the body of an
old gentleman in a military dress worn in the
year l7l0, The body is perfectly dry; some oI
the teeth and white hairs are in perfect state
The skin is of brown color, and was repre-
scnted, when first exposed to the air, to be very
elastic. If you strike the chest or the belly, il
gives hollow sound. The stockings are nearly
decaYed, but the boots are entire, and the hairs
of the wig are in good condition.
Some thirty years ago, when tho church was
repaired, the coffin was found in separate room
under great quantity of furniture and old rub.
bish. When the coffin was opened the skin was
of lighter color than it is now. BY paper
found in the coffin, and by the church records
= was ascertaned to be the body OF General
Duke de Croy, who was Frenchman and enter
led the Russian service in the time of Peter the
Great, about the year 1896, and was employed
in the war with Sweden. At the battle OF Mar
va, in which the Russians were defeated, he
shut himself up in the fortress of NaVa, and ca
pitulated. After his return from Sweden, he re-
sided as a private person in Rcvul, and incurred

Wonderful if True.

The Gazette des Tribunaux relates the follow
ing anecdote, to the truth of which we should be
sorry to pledge ourselves; "Mr. P had two
enamel shrt-s;uds surmounted by small fly Of
FURNISHED steel, so beautifully wrought that he
frequently deceived his friends by feigning to be
annoyed by flies. One of these studs was lost.
M. P had certain suspicious, but for want Of
proof thought it prudent to suppress them. The
following year the fellow stud also disappeared
Whereupon the old servant was accused Of thief
and dismissed. Some days afterwards Madame
P perceived large spiders web behind the
waipscot of her apartment, and upon brushing il
down what was her surprise at seeing the two
missing studs fall to the ground! An enormou:
spider, deceived by the resemblance, and think
ing to have caught fly, had hidden the studs in
its web, The innocence of the servant being
thus proved she was instantly recalled"

MISCELLANEOUS,
DeCNtVQr.

The United States National Ma gazine for
September, in reviewing book called "Battlos
ofthe British Navy" by Joseph Allen, task
which implies only pointing out the most glaring
misstatements, tells an anecdote of the immortal
Decatur, which, to us at least, is new. 1t seems
the Englishman, in the plenitude of his assr-
rance, intimates that Decatur was mistaken in the
identity of the Macedonian, and that he tried to
escape when he discovered the command of Cap
tain Garden. To show the absurdity of such ro-
nance, the Magazine tells the following anec-
dOte [N. Y. Post
"Before the war, Captain Garden and the Ma
cedonian were at Norfolk; Decatur was there,
too, and warm intimacy soon joined in friend
ship two kindred hearts. While discussing naval
Affairs one day, Garden said, Decatur, your ships
are good enough, and you are clever set OF fol.
lows; but what practice have you had in war?
there's the rub. One of these days we will pro-
badly have 'brush' together, and if | catch your
ship at sea will knock her into cooked hat,
Stephen 'Will your says Decatur; Il will bel
you hat on it, The bet was agreed OH, and
the conversation changed.
"But few months elapsed ere the war that
had been threatening commenced, and the two
captains, by some singular coincidence, met
Capt. Garden, on going OIL board of the United
States, was received bya lieutenant at the gang
way, TO whom he rendered his sword 'Not to
me, sir said the officer, 'but TO the captain'--
sAnd where is the captaing said the embarrass.
ed Englishman. He is standing aft there; that
is the gentleman, sir, in tarpaulin hat and round
jacket
"Carden went aft, and his feelings on meeting
his old friend, under such circumstances, may be
imagined. AS he offered his sword to Decatur
that officer said, mo, Cardenj never take the
sword of a brave man; you have fought gall9ns,

heavy debts. At his death, in the beginning of
the 18th century, his creditors did not allow his
friends to bury the body until his heirs should
pay his debts The body remained in the church,
unburied, and was kept in dry room under
ground; and il is supposed by some, that the COM
position of the soil (Which is chalk and lime
Stone) prevented it from decay; but incline to
the opinion, that the great degree of cold that is
said 10 have prevailed at the time of his death,
and the influence of the oak wood, of which the
coffin was made, contributed to this rare result
1t produced a strange feeling on touching the

Good Things out of Place.

A correspondent Of the New York Obs erver,
in descanting upon the irreverence Of church
choirs, says that there are some pretty goings on
sometimes, where the choirs are surrounded with
good thick curtains, and the chorstcrs are con-
cealed from the congregation. Some read some
sleep, and others converse, doubtless, most iov-
ngly on lovable subjects, and are kindly and af-
foconate one towards another. But he men
tons a particular case as coming under his own
observation, which is altogether too refreshing a
story not to be circulated in this hot season.
The singers, in warm weather took care to be
provided with refreshments, and thus they re-
pIenished their outer man while the congregation
fed the inner man on less substantial but more
appropriate food. One uery warm afternoon the
singers had wafer melons and lemonade where
with to console themselves, and it happened that
one of the gentlemen, in doing the agreeable to
his lady, uis a vis, upset the lemonade jug. The
floor of the singing loft not being quite water
tight, the lemonade trickled through, and the con-
gregaton sat under the 'droppngs of the sane
tuary' more literally than they expected, or even
dcsired.--N Y Morning NeWS.
