Kings and Princes.

The New York Rerdlds Paris correspondent
writes March 20: .,f5
The health of the young Prince Imperial, son Of
Louis Napoleon, who is now eleven years old, Is
said to be delicate. It is ominious fact that Tor
one hundred and sixty years no monarch in France
has been succeeded BY his son. Thus, Louis XIV.
was the grandson of Louis KILL Louis.AV was
the grandson of Louis XIV; Louis xvi. was the
grandson Of Louis XIV; Louis WILL. was the
brother Of Louis XVI, Louis XVI. dying In chld-
sor Of Louis XVIII. was his brother, Charles 4
His successor was his cousin, Louis Philippe.
Napoleon T. was succeeded, not by his son. Napo-
leon IT., but by his nephew, Napoleon IL The
killed by being thrown out Of his carriage. The
heir and son Of Charles <, the Duke Of Beri, was
assassinated while assisting his wife into o car
risge at the Paris Opera House. The present heir
to the Bourbons is the Count de bordeaux, VINO
was born after the assassination or his father, tne
Duke de Berri.
A German paper thus describes Count Bis
marck as he appears in the North German Parlia-
ment: ellis speeches are very uncouth In style,
and his voice is sharp and grating. When exciv,
unfrequently commits faults Of grammar and con-
struction. At the same time there is m epigram-
NAUTICAL incisiventss in his short sharp sentences,
and picturesqueness of expression In his style,
il the form in which he clothes his ideas is some
what harsh and rerelling, there can be no
doubt as to the value and effect of the ideas
themselves. His speeches are full of deep thought,
of far-reaching political insight and of statesman,
like views. His wit, too, Is very remarkable, and
it's slashing effect has been felt by many an antago-
mist to his cost. He is very sensitive to attack,
especially since he has been suffering from his pre-
sent nervous disorder, and his late alteration with
Her Won Munchausen, the Hanoyerian deputy: is
said to have brought on an aggrayation OF this
complaint. In tho North German Parhament ne
invariably appears in the uniform Of an officer Of
the Landwehr cavalry, while in the Prussian Par
lament he attended IN ordinary civil dress-a fact
which has given rise to much speculation among
the quidnuncs of Berlin

The Day Forty-etght Hours Long.

LAST week we showed that tho first beginning OF
the day is somewhere between America and Asia.
The precise locality of that somewhere has not
been determined. If the Pacific Ocean was thick
ly populated with men, the place Of the beginning
of the day would be matter OF great consequence,
and would probably bo settled by statute. The
day would start from o meridian line extending
from pole to pole, and the longitude of this day
line would be so accurately fixed, that a man
might stand astride il and realize the paradox of
having one foot in Monday and the other in Tues
day. Many of the renders Of this will live long
enough to hear this subject discussed In national
councils.
We propose now to show that Monday, Or any
other week day. is forty EIGHT hours long; we mean
that during forty-eight hours Monday is on earth
somewhere to be found. The Monday OF this city
is of course twenty-four hours long, but before
and after our Monday there is Monday in some
other quarter. When Monday begins In New York.
there nave been three hours Of Monday In London
and for three hours after our Monday ends there
will be Monday in San Francisco. Thus between
these places Monday lasts eighteen hours: Now
If the day line were at our antipodes, Monday
would begin there twelvs hours before ours, and
end twelve hours after ours. Thus, for the space
of forty-eight hours earth is not rid OF Monday.
The fact may be Illustrated in another way. Sup
pose we are at the day line. Monday there be-
gins, and in twenty-four hours along comes Tues
day. But just west (half all inch, If you pleaso),
Monday began only an instant before it ended east
OF the line. The Monday cast OF the line is twenty
four hours long, and west of the line is tho same
length, and in all Monday lasts forty-cight hours

ICELAND WHALE F1sHERY.-For century, thoro
had been scarcely any whale fishing carried on ut
Iceland and the long repose had caused the 1lsh
to increase abundantly; until on enterprising
American recently established himself at Seydis-
ford. on tho cast coast, where, in company with
his four brothers, he adopts II peculiar method OF
fishing, which is described in report just laid be-
fore tho English Parliament. The fisherman puts
out to sea ina small screw steamer, with large
whale boat in tow, and strikes the whale by means
of harpoon shot from sort Of rocket apparatus.
The handle or stock is charged with some detonat-
ing compound which explodes as the weapon enters
the fish, killing the whale almost instantly, but
the generation of gas in it's body prevents tho
sinking Of the carcass.
Tie destructive missile is the Americans own in
vention. He counted upon being able to approach
the whales in his steamer near enough to take ann,
but they invariably avoid it, and it has been found
necessary to shoot them from the boat. Tho body
Of the whale is towed to land and tue carcass cut
up on the strand. and the bubbcr and bones ut
once crushed and boiled down for the OIL Last
year the catch was twenty whales, which gave 60
m average of 100 barrels OF oil per whale Inc
whalebones orc sent to England, where they are
said to be used for making Prussian blue, ana o
project has be on broached fer pressing the nesn
and sending it to England for feeding dogs anu
pigs.
