They are about the bigness NV an onion

It is impossible to do anything with e

The Marriage or a Royal Prince to a
Merchants Daughter.
e New York Tribune saws

THE New York Tribune says:
One of those events which occasionally
transpire to assert, in the most emphatic
manner, the leveling spirit of the age, oc-
CURED on Saturday in this city. This was
no less than the marriage of a Prince of
the ancient and conservative house of
Bourbon to the daughter of Cuban
merchant. The story--a most romantic
one-is as follows: Some three or four
years ago Mrs. Hamil, the wife of q we'll
known merchant in Havana, left that city
to place her daughter in school in Paris.
They stopped for some time in this city,
having rooms at Delmonico's, and made
many warm friends wherever they were
known. t&
The daughter, possessed of more than
ordinary accomplishments and personal
charms, attracted much attention among
the best society of the gay French capital.
She was received in the most exclusive
circles, and it is said was frequent guest
at the Imperial Court. Among the many
distinguished gentlemen who paid her
their court was Prince Louis de Bourbon,
son of Louis Count d'Aquilla, one of the
chief members of the Bourbon family
The Prince proposed to her and was ac-
cepted, under the mothers sanction, but
when Count d'Aquilla learned the inten-
ton of his son, his pride revolted at what
he and others Of royal blood considered a
mesalliance, and he not only forbade the
match, but used his influence with the
Emperor to induce the latter to discounte-
nance it should the Prince seek his sup
port. The lovers, in company with the
lady's mother, then determined to go to
England and there fulfill the marriage, but
the father interfered, and succeeded in
preventir them from carrying it out.
After more than one disappointment
from the refusal of the Catholic clergy to
perform the ceremony, the prosecuted ones
determined to proceed to the United
States, where they hoped to find no diff
Guilty in fulfilling their contract; but even
in this free country the influence of con-
servatism prevailed % far that the Catho-
lie clergy still declined to have anything
to do in the matter. However, marriage
according to the civil rights of the coun-
try was consummated ON Saturday evening
last, and thus all opposition and persecu-
tion was overcome. This marriage, al
though perhaps it would not be acknowl-
edged among the crowned heads of Europe,
is perfectly legal in the United States and
all Protestant countries, and as such it
will never be disputed. The Prince, it is
understood, should his family prove obdu-
rate, is prepared to renounce his rights as
one Of the royal house of Bourbon, and
will content himself with the possession of
his beautiful wife.

by 8, subtract the figure that remains

of the same digits in different order with

can soon find the figure you have not seen.
The feat will appear quite mysterious to
the unintiated.

156324 from 231456, the remainder is

then we had our last rain, and at the hour
named the ground was softer than at any
other time. The track before us was then
made He broke up here and there clus-
ters of grass that lay in the path of the
track, and showed me the dry ends of some,
the stumps of others, and by numerous
other similar items, accounted for many
circumstances that astonished me. We
followed the trail over mile. Now and
then we saw that wolf, a fox, and other
animals had practised their trailing in

he would show nae where a snake, rat,
and prairie dog had crossed the track
Nothing had followed or crossed the track
that the quick eye of Daloria did not de-

of all the animals that had left their foot
prints on the track, also of the state of
the weather since the elk passed, and the
effect of sunshine, winds, aridity, sand,
storms and other influences that had a
bearing on these tracks.

The Number Nine.

THR number nine possesses some re-
markable properties. If the nine digits,
l, 2, 3, 4, s, g., 8. be added together.
the sum will be As, which is equal to
times 8, and the sum of the digits of their
sum, 4 and 5, is9. If any number is sub
tracted from another having the same
digits in different order, the remainder
will be divisible by nine, and the sum OF
the digits of the remainder will also be
divisible by o.
Subtracting 2967634 from 7364429,
there remains 44167s5, which is equal to
0 times 490955, the sum of the digits, 4, A.
1, 6, Z, 8, 3, is SO, which Is divisible by 9.
If any number be multiplied by 9, the
sum ofthe digits, or figures, of the product
will be divisible by 0. Nine times 437S013c
is 3o4021215; the sum Of the digits of this

Philosophical Uses or the Beard.

The inhaling of metallic particles TO
which certain workmen are exposed is
replete with serious and lasting effects.
In autopsies of persons who have died
from pulmonary consumption, the lungs
are frequently found filled with the sub
stance belonging 10 the peculiar business
which they have pursued during life.
Cotton, in the form of dust, metal filings,
chemical vapors, fumes of copper, arsenic,
etc, are but small number of the many
substances which enter the lungs and
finally destroy the lives of those engaged
in such occupations. The lace weavers of
Germany, and those occupied in the paper
staining factories, are particularly exposed
to these pernicious effects. Many tempo
rary means have been tried to protect the
artisans from such fatal consequences, but
none have been found as effectual as the
wearing Of beard and moustache. These
and the hair which grows in the nostrils
are found to be the best protection. All
who have permitted their growth can tes-
tifiy TO their efficacy in preventing the en-
trance of particles of dust, etc, and by q
nroper attention to cleanliness they will

THE <sNnders as Fascinators.

We quote as follows from the London
Saturday Review:
"Tbe yidow ofthe Wadmaa kind is
no creatare,of prey, neither shark, nor
hawk; at9 9be worst she is but coo'ng
dove, making just the sweetest little
noise in tie world, the tenderest little
call to indicate her whereabouts, and to
show that she is lonely and feels it
She sits close, waiting to be found, and
does not roap aud dash about like the
lrawk sisterheod: neither does she pre-
tend that sac is unwilling to D. found,
still less deny that soft warm nest, we'll
lined and snugly sheltered, A better than
:. lonely branch, stretching out comfort
less and bare into the bleak wide world.
She, too, is almost sure to GET w<ast she
wants, with the advantage Of being volun-
tarily chosen and not uuwiHingly sub
1nitted to. This is the kind OF woman
who is always mildly but thoroughly
happy in her married life; unless indeed
her husband should be a brate, which
heaven ferefend. She livesin peace and
bland contentment while the fates permit,
and when he dies she burries hiua decent
" and laments him decorous'y: bat she
thinks it folly to spend her life ia weep
ing by the side of his cold grave, when
her tears can do no good to eithef of them.
Rather she thinks it a proof of her love
for him, and the evidence of how true
was her happiness, that she should elect
to give him a successor. Her blessed
experience in the pact has made her
trustful i'm the future: and because she
has found one man faithful, she thinks
that all are Abdiels. As rule, this type
of woman does find men pleasant, and
BY her own nature insures domestic
happiness. She is always tenderly, and
never passienately, in love, even with
the husban1 she has loved the best; she
gives in to no excesses, to the ght sor
to the left; her temperament is of that
serene, moonlight kind which does not
fatigue Others nor wear out it's possessor;
without ambition, or the power to fing
herself into an absorbing occupation, she
lives only to please and be pleased at
home; and if she is not a wife, wearing
her ight fetters lovingly, and proud that
she is fsttered, she is nothing 7 AS some
women are born mothers, and others are
born nuns, 50 ID the Wadman woman a
born wife, and shines in no other charac-
ter or capacity. But nthis excels; and
knowing this, she sticks to her role, how
frequently soever the interlocutor may be
changed. sy=1e - A-..-.s.--~
