A ROYAL BRIDEGROOMpS PRESENTS.

The nuptial present given by Prince Frederick
William to his Royal Bride, consists Of pearl
necklace of unusual beauty and costliness The
necklace consists Of thirty-two large oriental
pearls, pronounced by connoiSseurs to be remark
ably pure, and the larger of which, those to-
wards the centre, are of the sizc of hazel nut.
The cost of this little connection, which has
been completed only by dint Of great diligence
during heightened PERIOD is stated to amount
to $4,000 tialers, (f4,000.) For sixladies, who
have been the companions and friends of tue
Princess Royal hitherto the Prince brought
with him six golden bracelets, consisting Of a
broad rich band Of gold, bearing shield, on
which is mounted Prussian essle, the wings
of which are encruSted with diamonds. The
Princess Of Prussia has also had set Of dia-
mond and turquoise ornaments arranged with
excellent taste, as her present to the Princess
Royal. Another present. destined for the Bsh.
op of London by the Prince, is copy of the
New Testament printed in folio, by the celebra-
ted printing firm of Decker, in Berlin, which
formerly enjoyed the monopoly of printing all
State documents. This work was got up by
the above firm, in 1910, at the fourth century
of the invention of book printing, celebrated
here in Berlin, for the purpose OF showing the
world what Prussia could produce in this branch
of industry, anl was admitted to bear off the
palm from all the other competitors for fame, on
this OCCASION. The types, which are of unusual
size AMI elegance of form, were all founded es-
pecially for this work, and the initial letters Of
the chapters are decorated and illuminated after
designs by Kaulbach. AS Jet, this work stands
unrivalled as typographical ch.f de'Gure, but
the triumph has not been obtained without a
great sacrifice of money, as we'll as time and Ia
Dor, for, although single copy Of this one vol
ume is not sold for less than 500 tha'ers, (f45,)
the printer still makes considerable loss on it.
The copy destined for the Bishop, is bound in
dark blue velvet, and mounted with massive sill

A SAMPLE OF COTTON FROHsTHE GILA RIVER.

A friend has placed on our, table sample Of
cotton from the Gila rivet, received by him
through the Hon. A. H. Stephens, at Washing
ton. The quality of this cotton is very much
like that known in commerce as Sea Island.
The staple is long, fine, and silky, in appear
ancc.
We regret that we are notin possession of any
facts connected with the cultivation of the sam
ple before US, if any such facts exist.
The Gila Tor as some pronounce it, Heela, J
river is in the Southwestern portion of the Uni
ted States, and formerly sonstituted the North
boundary of the Mexican State of Sonora. 1t
has its sources in the mountains of New Mexico,
and has on its banks thick growth of cotton
wood. We are not prepared to say that the sam.
ple before us is cotton fibre from the cotton
wood tree, but in letter from Thomas Sparague,
the Commercial Agent of the United States, at
La paz, Lower California, n reply to circular
issued from the Patent Office in Washington,
on the 18th of February, 1896, we find the fol-
lowing in reference to thatstree. The letter IS
written from tue Gila region of the country:
"When this country wasdiscoyered, the cotton
tree was found growing wild in great numbers,
over the entire land, andssnntil about twenty
years ago. the inh;lbitantsM manufactured thread
and many other articles t6E;home consumption
from the fibre it producea; bu. the Mexican
government then prohibitedsits manufacture by
the people, for the sake 0f.the duties which
might be obtained on impoNed articles. 1f,any
attention were given to Collecting cotton from
these trees, many milliorssSf pounds could be
gathered every year; andSby trimming the tree
and watering it during thesry season, the qu'Iii-
ty of the fibre might be much improved. =.
at is my opinisn that Sen Island cotton
Of the United States can Ragrown to great nd
vantage here, and that highlands Of this Terri,
tory are unsurpassed for sRroducing Sasar, rice,
coffee, and grapes. At5sagh the latitude OF
this p lace is but twenty:f6S degrees North, the
climate is SO happily temhsfed by sea breezes,
thai labor can be perfornisd by any r.ce of men
without Inconvenience oriSdetri:nent to health ;
Whether the cotton fibre before ms ia tho re.
sult of cul,vatun or iicsprodnct of the wild
cotton trees on the banks of the Gln, one thing
il very certain, the cottoaiAof fnc variety, oi
long and strong staple, angsilky in appearance
aal entitled to the examination as vel! as re-
Elections of all men engaged largely i'll the cot.

"HALLoWED BE THY NAME. "
BY MISS ELIZA COOK.

List to the dreamy tongue that dwells
In ripping wave or sighing tree
Go. hearken to the old church bells,
The whistling bird, the whizzins bee;
Interpret rights and ye will find
IT'S" power aud glory" they proclaim:
The chimes, the creatures, waters, wind,
All publish, " Ha!lowed BY Thy name?
The pilgrim journeys till he bleeds,
To gain the altar of his sires;
The hermit pores abc"e his beads,
With zeal that never wanes nor tires;
But holiest rite or longest prayer
That soul can yield or wisdom frame:
What better import can it bear
Than "Father, Hallowed be Thy name s
The savage kneeling to the sun,
To give his thanks or ask boon;
The raptures Of the idiot one,
Who laughs to see that clear round moon;
Tie saint well taught in Christian lore,
The Moslem PROSTATE at his flame
All worship, wonder and adore,
And ea:i in "IIallowcl be Thy name j.
Wbate'er may bc mans faith or creed.
Those precious NO dS comprise it still;
W. trace them on the bloomin; mead,
We have them in the flowing r!ll;
One chorus halls the Great Supreme;
Each varied breathing is the same
The strains may ditler, bat the THEME
Is, "Father, IIalowcd be Thy name !!

A PHYSICIANS EVIDENCE ON DANCING.

That beautiful, graceful accomplishment OF
dancing, so perverted by late hours and the
indecency of fashionable attire, has outraged
many sensible people, and led them to deprive
the young ones of the most simple and health
full enioyments, because it has been abused. For
myself, I can testify not only to it's healthfnl,
but recuperative power. The fortieth, nay, the
fi(tieth year Of my age, found me enjoying this
life-cheering exercise. 1t should be one of the
earliest amuscments of children, and care should
be taken by parents that it is understood as an
amusement. While / am on this topic, l will
mention case that occurred in my practice. a
thoughtful, anxious mother, who had but three
children, brought to me her only remaining
child-a daughter Her temperament nervous,
billous-the nervous fcarfully predominant; /;
with great irritablity Of the system, peeVish,
passionate dyspeptic, sleepless; of course, ex-
acting, arbitrary, and uncomfortable; the poor
child looked sad, old, morbid and miserable.
She had been to school, because her parents
thought it AL amusement for her to be with
other children.
After critically examining her physioSo.ny,
said to her mother. 'swhat is the temperament
of your husband ?' & The SAME as my own"
she replied "Then the child is ublystamped," !"

used if you expect to restore her to health.
Divorce her Immediately from anything mental
80 far as ,nemurizing is concerned, then send her
to dancing school, that she may combine exer-
else with order and melody, and thus some Of
her rough edges may be rounded" The child
Ter large eyes open with wonder and delight
interrupted with "dancing school? 0, how l're
longel to go; but mother says its wrong, aud
and leads to wickedness." What dilemma for
a child ';Did you ever intend your daug liter

strument 2" said to the mother. go yes" was
the answer. "Why, | continued, "why show
suc partalty to the upper extremities? The
hands are rendered happy IS medium OF mel
ody the feet are rendered equally happy in
the same way" \ nice afternoon school re-
criyel the little girl, who grew in health and
harmony every month as she followed the hy-
gieuic rules prescribed for her. Dancing is q
healthinl, beautiful, graceful recreation, and is
not responsible for the abuses that luxury has
thrown around it. The yulgaristn and excite
mcnts of the ball room have no more to Ito with
the simple enjoyment of the dance than the rich
wines and sumptuons banqucts of the sourmand,
in whom they induce disease, have to do with
tue temperate repasts that satisfy the natural
wants of the body.-Dr. HrriM II. HINT.

THE DEAREST SPOT ON EARTH.

Tho following little ballad was sweetly sung, b.
Miss Anna Kemp, al Thalbsrg's concert, with srea
applause:
The dearest spot on earth to me,
Is home, sweet home:
The fairy land I've longed to see,
Is home, sweet home;
There how charmed the sense Of hearing,
There where hearts arc so cndearing,
All the world is not so cheering,
Ash home, sweet home.
I've taught my heart the way to prize
My home, sweet home;
I've learned to look with lovers eyes,
On home, sweet home;
There where VOWS are truly plightei,
There wherc hearts arc e~sihitc&li =
All the world besides Two slgh.cd,
For home, sweet home.
