INTRICACIEs OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
The construction of the English language must
appear most formidable to a foreigner. One
of them looking at picture of number of
vessels, said, See, what flock Of ships? =
He was told that flock Of ships was called a
feet and that feet of sheep was called
flock And it was added for his guidance in
mastering the intricacies of our language, that
"a flock of girls is called bevy, that a bevy
of wolves is called pack, and pack of thieves
is called gang, and a gang of angels is called
a host, aud host of pOrpOises is called a ShOal
and shoal Of buffaloes is called herd, and a
herd of children is called a troop, and troop
OF partridges is called cOvey, and a covey of
beauties is called a galaxy and galaxy of ruf-
fans is called horde, and horde of rubbish
is called heap, and a heap of oxen is called
drove, and drove Of blackguards is called a
mob, and mob of whales is called school,
and school Of worshipers is called a cOngrega-
ton, and congregation of engineers is called
a corps, and corps of robbers is called band,
and q band of locusts is called a swarm, and a
swarm Of people is called a crowd"

world as well as for the new, L will not pause
to consider. My estimate might raise smiles
or provoke criticism among us, both of which
(gOod as they are in their right time and place J
L am anxious here to avoid.
Mr.. Hughes, in his endeavor to put his En-
glish couutrymen in sympathy with the spirit,
the heart, and the conscience Of our people,
concludes his article with these truly eloquent
words:
''Was ever truer, or braver, ring struck out
of the metal of which Notwithstanding men

when and where. And now when their tremen-
dous stOrm-clOud has broken up, and nothing
but,a lig Int streak or two Of vapor is to be seen
in their heavens, let us seize this precious mo-
Inent, never to rccur again in their or our his
tory, and, by graceful and loyal word and deed,
show them that We honor, as it deserves, the

same stock, and children Of the same Father -

WHAT RoYAITY COsTs. In few respects
does this government contrast more distinctly
with those of Europe than in the salaries paid
to our rulers. The President of the United
States receives twenty-five thousand dollars a
year, and the free use Of a ricketty White
House situated on the borders of malarious
swamp. Although plenty of people are anx-
iouS to secure the Office, even at this low Sala-
ry, yet it is a fact that in times like these, no
one but a rich man ought to wish to be PreSi-
dent for if the national hospitalites IRE prop
erly administered the incumbent soon finds
himself greatly in arrears, and if he endeavors
to practice economy the country is disgraced
in the opinions of foreign representatives and
of the more intelligent Of our own countrymen
The Emperor Napoleon, besides the use of a
dozen palaces, in Paris and in the county,
which are kept in the most superb order at the
public expense, receives a salary Offive millions
of dollars u year. The Empress has an allow
ance of one million per annum: The Prince
Napoleon receives three hundred thousand
dollars. The Princess Mathide is paid the
same sum- The Queen Of England is paid
salary of about two and half millions year
The Prince Of Wales receives half a million,
besides his private revenues. The Princess of
Wales is allowed fifty thousand dollars year
pin.mOney. Prince Alfred is paid one hundred
thousand dollars per annum the Princess Az
ice thirty thousand; the Queens aunt, the
Duchess OF Cambridge, thirty thousand; the
Duke Of Cambridge, the Queens cousin, one
hundred thousand. The national palaces are
at the deposal of the royal family, free OF COST
and are wholly maintained at tho puphc eA-
pense. This is what it costs to have an Elll-
peror or Queen but are We not paying our
President rather too meanlyE

Extraordinary Discoveries of Oil.

The Pithole region, where oil has been found
in large quantities, has lately been the scene
of extraordinary excitement The Record,
published at that place, says:
The whole ground seems saturated with OIL
One man dug a hole in the ground about a
foot deep, and in few minutes got pailful
of oil for his trouble. The ground is now be-
ing rlddled with shallow holes in which large
quantities of oil OOze up, and the scene torcibly
reminds US Of gold digging.
At one of the springs belonging to the Buff
talo House the proprietor had gathered four
barrels of oil with tin dipper and there are
many others who have been equally fortunate.
Ol was found i'll great many cellars yester-
day. Mr.. Bernand MOrahan filled large
washtub with oil from his water pipe; a mum
ber of others have done the same
well belonging to the Confer Hotel has
been found to have oil on it; another oil spring
has been found in the rear of Fifth street. SO
that we may presume that every man will be
able to dig his own oil before long.
Many ludicrous Incidents are narrated of the
manner in which some of them took their sud
den accession of fortune.
Yesterday morning, men, women and boys
could be seen with tin pals, teakettles, etc.
in their hands, vainly searching for pure wa
ter. Oil might bOi coffee and tea, but not
make it, so that urchns who had to be water
carriers appeared to think there might be toe
much Of good thing, even if it is oil Nol
are they alone in their grief, for a COW walkcC
up to her accustomed watering place, smell
the oil, and evidently thought petroleum woulc
make butter taste bad
At the first discovery of the wells the ex
citement began to increace, and man whC
has heard Of the the various fractions used il
the oil trade, offered to pump all day for one
thirty-seventh of the oil; others were NOR,
wanted half the OIL and were willing to tax,
the washerwoman into the bargain
An Irlshman who had small spring, wa
highly elated at the turn fortune was taking
Said he, . Yesterday, | wasn't worth a cint
and, be jabers, to-day I'm worth thousand
upon thousands.

ROMANCE IN SENATOR LIFE.-Frazer' s
IBaga=jne tells the following story, but does
not mention the name Of its hero, who is Sena-
tor Lane Of Kansas:
A distinguished politician of Indiana, be-
coming interested in the movement for making
Kansas free State, left his wife and repaired
to that territory, intending to return sOon.-
Becoming, however, identified with the strug-
giles Of Kansas, the Senator stayed away very
long. His wife at length demanded his return.
He wrote back that it was impossible to return.
His wife waited a little, and then wrote declar-
ing that unless he returned by stated time,
she would sue for a divorce. The Senator
made no reply, but gave glowing account Of
the patriotic movement in which he bore Il con-
spicuous part The next letter he received
was from a clerk OF u court in Indiana, inform
ing him that his wife had filled "a BILL with an
other from lawyer offering to defend him
The Senator wrote back to the lawyer as fol-
lows - Dear Sir Yours to hand. My wife
says she will not stand my long absence. If |
were she | would not stand it either. | shall
not offer any opposition to her suit. Yours,
&c.,. Two years later when the divorce
had long been granted, this Senator returned
to Washington as Senator Of the free State
Of Kansas, visited his old home in Indiana, and
found his wife still blooming and handsome,
and surrounded by admirers. With the rest
he visited her from time to time, became pre-
sently the accepted lover, and was married to
her.

REV. Dr. MASON.-The great DIR. Mason,
In his day, the most eloquent Of preachers i'll
the city of New York, was in the habit Of walk
ing every morning down the street to Washing
ton Market. A certain lawyer, Of no less cele-
brty In his line, was wont to take the same
walk, but, being earlier than the doctor, usually
came up the street as the parsOn went down.
One morning deep snow was on the ground,
and single path only was beaten by the few
who had been out before them The two gen
tlemen had often met i'll their walks, but new
er in private, and had not even a speaking &C
quaintance.
Now they met face to face, and, the morn
ing being cold, and neither of them in good
humOr, they stood waiting, the one for the 9TH
er to give way, by stepping out into the snow.
Presently the stalwart divine moved a step to-
ward the wall the lawyer came up to pass the
doctor returned too suddenly, and bringing his
shoulder into contact with the lawyer 5, tipped
him into the gutter. The discounted lawyer
picked himself up, and, as he brushed off the
snow, very coolly remarked:
| "YOu belong to the church militant, should
think"
Aye" said the doctor, as he strobe on
ward " and to the church Triumphant tool"
This was not very amiable in the reverend
gentleman, certainly and he was not so well
reputed for the soft graces as for pulpit elo-
quence, i'll which he was without peer. One
of his members left his church and became at
tached to one of the other rcongregationsin that
city. He had been absent more than a year,
when he chanced to meet the doctor in the
street, and attempted to make an apology for
having left. Said he:
suppose you have missed me from your
church the year pastY
No, l have not, J." replied the doctor, very
grufly.
Yes, have found an easier road to heaven
than the one you preach.
Easier road, is it? but you'll have a he'll of
a toll to pay said the doctor, as he pushed
BY, and left his quondam parishOner to digest
the answer.

A MORMON DIFFICULTY has not
yet taken action upon any of the numerous
bills that have been introduced for abolishing
the system of pOlygamy in Utah. The fact is
the question is one more difficult to deal with
practically than some had supposed. The pas
sage of an act would of cOurse-or rather
should Of cOurse-imply its enforcement; but
it is here that the trouble begins The ques-
ton cannot be dealt with as Slavery was dealt
with. The slave was proclaimed free, and The
incident of freedom was realized universally
through the operations of war. But were
pOlygamy proclaimed as abolished tomorrow
the legal edict would have no force, and could
only be made effective by the officers Of gov
ernmcnt entering every house in Utah and
forcing the separations which the law had
made necessary.
We find in the Utah Fedcttc "a journal sup
ported by our soldiers and opposed to polyga-
my note of inquiry from woman who is .
| fourth wife in a pOlygamouS family. She
says:
Reading in your columns that in all proba-
| bility polygamy would be done away with, it
causes me to inquire what will become of all
the women that are situated like myself, the
fourth wife Of a labOring man, who supports
US in comfort by industry and economy, but
whose means would be nothing if divided be-
tween us all, without his daily income arising
from his work. Now what would become OF
a young woman of hardly twenty -four with five
children, the two youngest are twins six
months old and, although good housekeep-
er, am not sufficiently skilled in any one thing
to depend on as a means of livelihood And
must my poor children bear the stigma of lille
gitimacy, as they naturally will, if the tie that
binds me to their father is annulled? AND
how can l seek employment at the hands Of
those who are not SO situated, and who despise
me2 Please inform me what comfort or hap
piness you can see for me in the future.
Such cases are certainly hard but there are
thousands of them in Utah. We suppose,
whatever action is taken by Congress, these
cases will be taken into account.

POET r Y .
Tom Blake.

When summer clouds sail o'er the prairie,
Like shadows that dance in their wake,
Though try to be wise and be wary,
My thoughts are pursuing Tom Blake.
They tell me, shes worth not penny"
That "to love him is quite mistake
know, as to wealth, if I'd any,
I'd freely divide with Tom Blake.
But wealth can be gathered forever,
1t lies en- the land and the lake;
But, if they compel us to sever,
There's never another Tom Blake.
care not though others may scorn him,
I'd frown on them all for his sake,
For the Graces combine to adore him.
Love lives in the glance of Tom Blake.
The passion now heaving my bosom
Is wild as the winds on the lake,
And still they cry. Fanny, refuse him."
When who could love but Tom Blake.
Alas! for the fate of poor woman,
Alas! for the steps she may take!
My heart. with love that is human,
Devotedly clings TO Tom Blake.
Sometimes we wed to our sorrow,
And sometimes we wed thro' mistake;
But, if he should kill me tomorrow,
To-day woul marry Tom Blake.

A DEAD HUSBAND TURNS UP.-Anothe

A DEAD HUSBAND Turns UP.-Another
case of the dead coming to life has just been
brought to light in the register office of this
county A citizen of Reading who enlisted in
the early part of the war, and from whom. no
information was had for some time, was given
nm for dead. His supposed widow, in order to
draw a certain legacy, which in the meantime
became payable to the husband, took out let
ters of administration on his estate, drew the
