mA.In common talk, the Prince of
Wales, the future King of England,
and his brother Alfred, are "bad eggs"
The former is conside rably worse than
Shakespeare Prince Hal. and divides
his time most impartially between gam
bling and getting drunk. Last summer
he lost two hundred thousand dollars in
a gambling hell in Germany al one set
ting, the proprietor Of which had the
assurance, after getting his money, to
solicit the service Of the Prince in his
favor, with his brother-in law, the
King of Prussia, who is going to close
these dens of infamy and iniquity.
Duke Alfred has been Oh prolonged
drunk of six months duration In Aus.
tralia, where he has thoroughly disgust
ed everybody and carefully outraged all
their loyalty. These are the salt of the
earth, to feed and pamper whom in idle.
mes, thousands upon thousands must
live destitute Of all that makes life toler-
able. How long will the people of En-
gland submit to such imposition

the preacher to baptize him again. The
latter replied that it was unnecessary

As he came up again he askes AZ q

other converts. Still Bill! pleaded, and
the preacher put him under for the

COULDN'T GET THE RI0,lr FLoP.-rn
the year ls4s, during the Millerite ex-
element in the usually quiet town Of
Old Durham, old "Aunt Sally H."
who would "weigt, nigh onto two hun
dred pounds" "wcnt up" and one eve.
ming In meeting, in the midst Of a warm
season of exhortation, she arose and
said:
"Oh, brethern and sisters, bless the
Lord, I'll soon get away from this
world; Pm goin' to meet the Lord in a
few days. My faith II powerful strong.
Oh, yes, powerful strong 1t is. So
strong" continued the old lady, extend
ing her arms and motioning them like a
goose on the wing, "that i does seem as
II could fly right now aud meet the
Lord in the air."
The minister, who was as great an ex.
horter and enthusiast on '.going up'' as
the old lady, encourage hs' "y sx-
claiming.
"Try. sister, try! Perhaps you can
fly ii your faith is only strong enough"
"Well, can," she exclaimed; II
know can, aud WILL"
She was standing near a window,
which was raised Oh account of the OPP
pressive heat-for It was summer. With
her handkerchief In one hand and her
fan in the other, she mounted the seat,
and thence to the top Of the pew, and
gave leap into the air with flying
motion of her arms, expecting to ascend
heavenward. But the law Of gravita.
ton was too much for both her faith
and the gravity Of the audience. Down
she came with an enormous and not
very angelic grunt, shaking the whole
house with the conclusion.
She arose, folded her wings, and with
great meekness sneaked back into her
seat, evidently disappointed.
The next evening some Of the young
folks asked her:
Aunt Sally, why didn't you ffy last
night, when you tried 50 hard ?"
II couldn't get the right fiop," was
the meek and conclusive reply.

Origin Of Eminent Men.

Some of our newspapers are fond Of
placing before the public the origin of
rich men. We think the poor ones
should have . chance; 90 We relate the
following brief facts for the ensour-
agement Of others:
John Smith was supposed to be the
con Of his father. He formerly resided
in Stoke Pogis, and other places; but
he has moved to the Penitentiary now.
William Smith was the son of his
mother. The party's grandmother Is
deceased. She was . woman.
John Brown was the son ofold Brown.
The body Of the latter lies noultlering
in the grave.
Edward Brown was the son Of old
Brown by particular friend.
Henry Jones was the son of q sea-
cook.
William Cannon Was the son Of q gun.
John Jones was son of Temperance.
In early life Gabriel Jones was actual
ly a shoemaker. He is shoemaker
yet.
Previous to the age of eighty Ave,
Caleb Jones had never given any evil
dence Of extraordinary ability. He has
never given any since.
Patrick Murphy Is said to bc of Irish
extraction.

GRIMES EsCATALoGUED. One Of the most
startling and alarming exhibits that we
have seen for long time, is the annual
report Of the head of the police depart
ment Of the city Of Chicago. In twelve
months over twenty-five thousand ar
rests were made. These thousands are
classified according to nationality and
occupation. OF the former 5,292 were
Americans by birth ll,Ol6 Irish; 3,l34
Germans, and the remainder was made
up Of all other nationalities, including
Mexicans and Indians. Among the oc-
cupations, 6, l04 were laborers; 263 saloon
keepers no occupation, 4, 4,S45; prostitutes
4, 4,l93, and the remainder scattering. One
liquor dealer only was arrested. 1t will
be seen ut glance that the police of
that city have been busy. and that the
men and women who have no occupa-
ton come in for their share Of figures
i'm this fearful record. Idleness has
truly been the mother Of crime in these
cases, and the problem presents itself as
to how the recurrence of this condition
Of things is to he prevented. Parents
who neglect to give their children an
honorable occupation of some kind, can
perhaps read in these disgraceful statis-
tics the fearful future awaiting their
progeny.

HORRIBLE DEATH FROM DRUNKEN-
NESS AND ExPosURE.-TheP Pella Blade
Of the 2lst ult. narrates the following
fearful illustration of the evil of whisky:
We are informed by Mr.. Lucien
Reynolds, Of Summit Township, that a
man named Chenoweth was frozen to
death on Saturday night Of week before
last on the prarie near Otley. Cheno-
weth and his two sons had been to Pei
Ia on Saturday aud all three got drunk.
They went up OH the afternoon train,
supplying themselves with two or three
bottles Of "Benzine," before leaving
town. They stayed at Otley till dark
when the boys started home, leaving
the old man to find the way home alone.
Everybody will remember Saturday
night was one Of the stormiest Of the
spring. Chenoweth had part Of sack
Of flour. and started after dark for home
but never reached It alive. He proceed
eu ss f,ar rs the residence Of Mr.. Barnes,
where he got lit, supper, after which ho
again attempted to reach home. 1t Is
supposed that he either got lost, or be.
came so drunk that he was unable to
proceed farther, and laid down on the
prairie and pershed. His body was not
discovered till Wednesday morning last
although about twenty five persons had
been diligently searching for it. Mr..
Reynolds accidentally came upon it
while out warning hands to work on
the road. His -four and other things
were lying by him. There is anothr ar
gument against the damning effects OF
aIchohol. We don't think the man who
sold him the whisky Is entirely innocent
either in the eyes of God or man.
