The Orleans Family.

| Louis Philippe lost daughter few wears

Louis PhIliPPe cOmmntgi the care and education
Of his children, (three sons and n daughter the
late princess Adeaide,) to The suporuteudence ol
the celebrated Countess de Gonlis The lady lived
though only for shor. time, to see her pupil
Louis Philippe, attain station for which she had
ondeavOred to render him worthy. She died in
/ Paris at the close of the year 1880, in the SD
year of her age.
Besides the young Count Of Paris grandson 10
the cX-hng, there arc two other claimants 10 the
French throne, at this time, namely: first, the
young Duke Of Bordeaux, son Of the Duke de Ber-
II, and grandson TO the lalo King, Charles X, who
was OF the elder branch OF the Bourbon family.
and brother of Louis XVI and XVII Charles
y Il viii be recollectod, w;,s depesod sa 1880.
Second, Louis Napoleon, son Of The late Louis
BOnapar.e, who was, for a while, King of Ho,-
land. The mother Of this prince was Hortense
daughter of Josephine, frs! wife Of the Emperor
Napoleon.
The claims Of neither OF these two princes seem
TO be worth much now, the only chance if a re-
public be not permanently established, is probably
for the young Count Of Paris under the regency
Of his mother, the Duchess Of orleans, who is nine
years of age.
When Louis Philippe was iu the United States
the celebrated TaIIoyrund $50 visited thi5 couulry
in exile. The latter remained here bat short

Why don't you take paper, Brown
I'm sure It is a shame
That We can't get the news from town
Before it's old hnd tamcl
There's Deacon Jones across the way,
" no gets one every week,
And he can beat you all, they say,
When called upon to speak
The reason, sir, is plain, you know,
For when he reads it through
HIS words Ike muk and honey flow,
And all he tells is new.
So he is taken by the land,
For what he can impart
While old and young around him stand,
Andsay the Dcac9u's smart.
Oh is il not a shame, say,
To hug your purse SO tight,
When mere bit Of yellow clay.

GOVERNMENT.

In Orpheus theatre, all beasts and birds
assembled; and, forgetting their several APP
petites, some OF prey, some of game, some
of quarrel, stood all socially together, list
ening unto the airs and accords of the
harp; the sound whereof no sooner ceased
or was drowned by some louder noise, but
every beast returned to his own nature ;
wherein is aptly described the nature and
condition Of men, who are full of savage
aud unreclamed desires OF profit, OF lust,
of revenge; which, as long AS they give ear
to precepts, to laws, to religion, sweetly
touched with eloquence and persuasion OF
books, OF sermons, of harangues, so long is
society and peace maintained; but if these
instruments be silent, or sediilon and tumult
make them not audible, all things dissolve
into anarchy and confusion.-LoRD Bacon.

A YANKEE sTRATAGEM.

The General Monk" about the begin
ming of the year 1882, was terror to all
merchant vessels which nayigated the Della
ware bay. Having regular commission,
she was justified in making captures, and
played havoc with the commerce in the bay
and river The vessel carried eighteen
ine-pounders, and was manned by one hun
drcd and fifty men. The news Of her con-
tinned captures was anything but pleasant
to Philadelphans, and much conversation
took place upon the subject among the citi-
zens. AT casual meeting of merchants
and others, at Crawford g. Donaldson's in
surance office, in Market Street, Insurance
companies were not common then,) the
conversation turned upon the damage which
this vessel was committing with entire inn
punity. 1t was thought necessary TO do
something to remove the pest, and the gem
temen present agreed to raise a loan for the
purpose of fitting out vessel to attack the
| Engllshman. The Bank of North America
loaned the money on the responsibility of
the subscribers, and with it the =" Hyder
ALP was purchased of John w. Stanley,
and placed in the command of Commodore
Barney. A commission as a letter of
marque" was procured, and the crew was
composed Of volunteers. The vessel was
fitted out with four nine-pounders and twelve
SKIES. The crew numbered one hundred
and twenty, mostly landsmen. There was
consequently great inferiority on the part
of the American vessel in point of metal
and men. Nevertheless, Barney sailed in
IA week, having disguised his ship as mer-
chairman. He commanded the crew, that,
when he should order them to board, they
should not board, but fire and when he di-
rected them to fire, they should board
They soon espied the General Monk, !"
which proved not to be so fast sailor as the
Hyder Ali" Barney therefore hung over
a drag~anchor to impede his way and, de-
ceived by the slowness and expecting an
easy prey, the English vessel ranged up to
them. When they got near enough to the
American, Barney cried out, " Board !" In
simultaneously flash broke out from the
broadside of the Hyder Ali, and the iron
missives produced terrible effect upon the
thick ranks which lined the decks of the
opposing vessel. The captain of the Monk
ordered his crew to fire. but it was too late.
One hundred men had been stricken down,
killed and wounded by the first broadside
among the latter were the English captain
and many officers The fire was but Geebly
returned, and Barney ordering his men to
fire, they boarded the vessel and took pos
session without blow. They brought their
prize up to Philadelphia, and great were the
rejoicings thereat. Barneys loss was but
four killed and fifteen wounded Philadei

worthy the space in which it wall be record

incident because we believe II to be honora-
BILE to the unfortunate man who was the
principal actor.
Mcconnell, then member of Congress,
stood at the bar of one of the principal ho-
tells in Washington Beside him, and drink
ing with him, was one who, without virtue
or generous feeling, had enjoyed all the
advantages of exalted family ana grea,
wealth-advantages which his innate aud
ungoyernable vices had, to a great extent

but Mcconnell had long since left the choice
OF his companions to chance, and then
chance was generally untoward' The m

sneered at its authority, ridicued It's III
junclons, and repeated its most sacred pas
sages with ribald comments. Mcconnell,
