ROYAL SNOBBERY.-When Queen
Victoria went to Leeds she stopped at
the Mayors house, but refused even to
see the Lady Mayoress, though the poor
husband spent about fifty thousand dol
lars to entertain his royal guest properly.
The newspapers made some talk about
the matter, so the Queen sent the ag-
grieved lady handsome bracelet, which
quite settled the dificulty-the Mayor

ONE OF THE EUROPEAN PoTENTATEs.
Many ofour readers may not be aware
of the existence of such Prince as
Charles III. at Monaco. But there is a
European Prince bearing that title, and
his kingdom is situated on rocky pro-
montory, in the Mediterranean, between
Nice and Genoa. Formerly, the princi-
pality Of Monaco contained fifty-three
square miles, and a population number
ing less than 1000 souls; but recent
revolutions have deprived the reigning
Prince of a portion of his dominions,
and his rule is now strictly confined to
the town of Monaco, with population
of about 1900 persons Mention, Ro-
quebrunne, and the surrounding parish
es having, in rebellious manner, es-
tablished their independence. Never
theless, Charles III, still possesses all
the privileges Of a monarch. He can
create mobiles, dispense decorations and
honors, and what is more important,
coin money. His predecessor made SO
liberal use of this coming attribute of
royalty, that the neighboring States had
in self-defence, to prohibit tho oiroula-
ton of Monaco money in their terrific
ries. The sovereign, moreover, as the
correspondent of London paper says,
enjoys the power Of raising armies and
equipping fleets; and nothing could
prevent him, if he felt so inclined, from
declaring war against Russia OF France.
But, happily for the human race, Charles
III. is of pacific disposition, and hos
tile to those ambitious ideas which must
be MANFRED by blood.
He, however, possesses standing
army of volunteers. This force is di-
vided into two corps-the police and the
carbineers. The frst-named corps COM
prises four non-commissioned officers
and three privates /; the second is COM
posed of two non-commissioned officers
and three privates. This army is very
fat and short-winded. It sometimes
embarks in small divisions on boats in
the port, and proceeds-not on any
scheme of invasion-but fishing
There is one brigadier, who ought to be
made field-marshal, so keen is the glance
with which he detects the presence of
fish off the coast. The army is very
good-humored, and has but one fault
an excessive love of garlic. The mari
time power of Monaco is defunct, its
last representative, pilot, selling cab
bages in Nice. In fact, more perfect
caricature on royalty cannot be imagined.

THE PERsp1RAToRY APPARATUS

THE PERsPIRAToRY APPARATUS
All over the surface of our bodies there
are scattered millions of minute orifces
which open into the delicate convoluted
tubes lying underneath the skin, and are
called by anatomists sudoriparous
glands. Each of these tubes when
Strengthened, measures about quarter
of an inch; and as according to Eras-
mus Wilson, whose figures we follow,
there are 1928 of these tubes on every
square inch of the palm of the hand,
there must be no less than SS2 inches of
tubing on such square inch. In some
parts of the body the number of tubes is
even greater; in most parts it is less.
Erasmus Wilson estimates that there are
$500 ON every square inch, on the aver
age; and as the total number of such
inches is 2, 500, we arrive at the astound-
ing result that, spread over the surface
of the body, there are not less than
taeenty-eight miles Of tubing, by means
of which liquid may be secreted, and
given off as vapor in insensible perspi-
ration, or as water in sensible perspira-
ton. In the ordinary circumstances Of
daily life, the amount of fluid which is
thus given off from the skin (and lungs)
during the twenty-four hours, varies
from lb. to ID. +; under extraordi-
nary circumstances the amount will of
course rise enormously .-Blackpood.

1t is very difficult for writer's in these
days to be original, except by a vigorous
attack upon established opinions, or
departure from ordinary restraints. So
ciety must have an outside; and to
seize and hold up to ridicule the weak
places in this, is a strong temptation to
keen wits and active minds. Sterne
knew we'll how to attract the attention
of an audience dulled by continual ser
monizing, when after giving out his
text on one occasion, he Immediately
started with-"That 1 deny" The d.
vine who could hazard a negation of
received Scripture was sure to be listen
ed to: he might only have preached his
hearers asleep with the soundest argu-
ments in support Of it. When the Gel
ebrated Hardouin was demonstrated with

doxes-"Do you think" said he, "that

Angles AXONI> M.--Our county owes
much to the Anglo-Saxons-its language
and, in the main, its political institutions
and systems of jurisprudence but the
races of men, whose intermingled blood
is the material element of American ma
tionality, are not of Anglo-Saxon origin.
We know it is custom, almost univer-
sal, to speak of the Americans of the
present day as descendants of English
men, and Of our national advancement
as the progress of the Anglo Saxon race !;
but no error can be greater. The ma
tive population of the United States
derive their origin from nationalities
anything but English. True, the New
England States, Virginia, Georgia, and
in part, Pennsylvania and Maryland,
were originally settled by them; but the
Dutch peopled New York and New Jer-
sey, and swarmed over Pennsylvania; ;
the Irish combined with the English
Catholics in thesettlement of Maryland;
Delaware was colonized by the Swedes,
and Carolina by the Huguenots of
France; while Florida, Louisiana, and
the entire valley Of the Mississippi were
originally occupied by the Spaniards
and French. In the course of time, the
tide of immigration afforded scarcely a
trace of English blood in its influx, and
during any one year Of the last quarter
of century, greater number of Celts
and Teutons have arrived in New York
thau the whole Anglican immigration
from the settlement of jamestown to
the present day. We are not then,
though we have retained or adopted its
language, of the Anglo-Saxon race, but
are fusion of all the various tribes of
the great Caucasian family. combining
together the mental, moral and physical
elements of the whole, yet bearing no
similitude to any.-Sierra Citizen.

Nature is eternally young, beautiful
and generous. She pours forth poetry
and beauty to all the beings, to all the
plants which are allowed to develop
themselves freely in her bosom. She
possesses the secret of happiness, and no
one has ever known how to wrest it from
her. The most happy Of men would be
he who, possessing the science of his la
Dor, and working with his hands, find
ing comfort and liberty in the exercise
of his intelligent strength, would have
time to live by his heart and by his
brain, to understand his own work and
to love that of God George Sand.

VALUABLE INvENTIoN.-The Sci

account of an inventors success

ALUAhLE Inv ENTlON."IH lie OCT
entifc american gives the following
account of an inventors success
Elias Howe, Jr., of Cambridge,
Mass, obtained patent for the first
practically useful sewing machine in
1916. For several years it was source
of annoyance and expense to him, with
little or nopecuniary profit. Since that
time many improvements have been pa
tented, and the manufacturing of sewing
machines is now one of the most extern
sive businesses in the United States,
and thousands are sold annually. Elias
Howe, Jr., once poor inventor, with
few friends, now receives, from the most
prominent makers of sewing machines, a
tribute that will make him, before the
first term of his patent expires 1S60,)
one of the wealthiest men in this coun-
try. We do not speak from any posi-
tive knowledge of the facts, but his
present annual income cannot be calcu-
lated at less than 100000; certain it
is, that in the course of single month,
he must have received from one estab-
lishment no less than $4,000, Judging
from the number of machines sold by
that concern. On almost any pleasant
day portly man with flowing hair,
white cravat, and broad-brimmed Kos
suth hat, may be seen on Broadway,
dashing along behind splendid pair of
fancy horses, fit for the stud of an en-
peror, and with all the ease and indie
pendence of millionaire. That man is
Elias Howe, Jr., once the poor and
humble inventor"

3RoUaHAM and MAcAULAY as con-

DROUGHAM and MACAULAY as con-
versationalists, are thus contrasted by
Mackenzie, the literary editor of For
ney's Press. He calls them ga pair of
intellectual giants" and says:
"Iti is difficult to decide between their
rival claims for supremacy in society.
We might distinguish, perhaps, and say
that. in large mixed assembly, Brough-
am would have more influence, so vast
the range of his mind, and so copious,
as we'll as striking, his conversation.
But, among authors and persons of lit
erary tastes, Macaulay would assuredly
be considered superior. One advantage
is possessed by Brougham-he does not
monopolise the conversation, but per-
mits others to chime in, and supply new
materials for illustration. Macaulay,
on the contrary, seems possessed of =
talking spirit, which no spell, human or
divine, can exercise. He is like . ma
chine which, wound UP, must 60 on un-

though diffuse. Its eternity is the
drawback. How keen was the satire of

said, che has come back much impro-
we'd, and last night, surprised as well as

THE GOLDEN MILESTONE.


Leafess are the trees; their purple branches
Spread themselves abroad, like reefs of coral,
Rising silent
In the Red Sea of the Winter sunset.
From the hundred chimneys Of the village,
Like the AFFECT in the Arabian story,
Smoky columns
Tower aloft into the air of amber.
At the window winks the Pickering freight;
Here and there the lamps of evening glimmer,
Social watch-fires
Answering one another through the darkness.
On the hear tn the lighted logs are glowing,
And like Ariel i'm the cloven pine-trse
For its freedom
Groans and signs the air imprisoned in them.
By the fireside there are old men seated,
Seeing ruined castles in the ashes,
Asking sadly
OF the Past what it can ne or restore them.
BY the Preside there are youthful dreamers,
Building castles fair, with stately stairways,
Asking blndly
OF the Future what it cannot give them.
By the freside tragedies ere acted
In whose scenes appear two actors OAlI,
Wife and husband,
And above them God the sole spectator
By the freside there are peace and comfort
Wives and children, with fair, thoughtful faces,
Waiting, watching
For a wellknown footstep in the passage.
Each mans chimney is his Golden Milestone;
Is the central point from which he measures
Every distance
Through the gateways of the world around him
In his farthest wanderings still he sees it,;
Hears the talking fame, the answering night-wind
As he heard them
When lie sat with those who were, but are not.
Happy he whom neither wealth nor fashion,
Nor tho march of the encroaching city,
Drives an exile
From the hearth of his ancestral homestead.
We may build more splendid habitatons,
Fill our rooms with paintings and with sculptures
But we cannot
Buy with gold the old assOciations
