SUDDEN DEATH.-Mr George b. Downer,
residing on the lower part of Wilmot Street,
who was last year on the Police, but who has
recently taken job wagon, while engaged
yesterday in unloading trunk at house on
Carlton Street, sank to the ground in great dis
tress, bleeding copiously from his mouth and
complaining of some pain in his back. He
soon became insensible, and was placed in his
wagon and taken to his home. AS the wag-
on passed the residence of DIR. Fitch tn at
gentleman was called to examine him. DR.. F.
pronounced him in dying con dtion and ad-
vised his body taken to his residence as quick
as possible and that physician be Immediately
called. Mr. Downer was pronounced dead
when his body reached his residence, by DR..
Webster, who had been called, and who used
every effort to resuctatc life.
The deceased was formerly whaleman and
while pursuing his occupation sustained some
internal injury, which at times, ever since, has
troubled him. Two or three times the past
year, while on the Police, he was attacked with
bleeding and obliged to suspend active labor.
1t is the opinion of DR.. Webster, that he strain
ed himself yesterday in lifting the trunk and
ruptured blood vessel or artery inside, thus
causing his sudden death. He leaves a wife,
the third one, who was absent from the city at
the time, but no children. Coroner Gould was
called, but deemed an inquest unnecessary,
after hearing all the facts.
1t is expected that the police force of las
year will attend the funeralin body, of which
due notice will be given tomorrow morning.

when her early lite was darkened by the awful

faith in futurity, but from the stand point Of

A correspondent of the Milwaukee Sentinel,
writing from Munich, Bavaria, says
1.-The library, called the Hof und Stats
Bibliothek, is one of the most splendid build
ings as well as magnificent collection of
books in Europe, and next in size to that of
Paris, which is acknowledged to be the
largest in the world. Some idea of the pro-
portion of the building may be formed by a
view of its front, which measures some five
hundred and twenty feet, is eighty feet in
height to the roof, and has seventy-two
windows. This beautiful building is built in
the Byzanto- Florentine style, it taking some
twelve years to complete it. If this is the
front, the stranger is more pleased in walking
up the grand staircase and observing its
beautiful marble columns, the statues of
learned men as well as founders of the insti-
tuition, and the various other works OF art
that adorn the staircase and halls.
''But its greatest Recommendation to the
thinking part of mankind is that its eight
hundred thousand volumes, which filed
seventy-seven large rooms, are free to every
one, citizen or stranger, Christian, Jew, or
Pagan. This library embraces many rare and
valuable works. Among them there are a
great many manuscripts in Greek, Oriental,
Latin, German, and many other languages
In fact, there is scarcely any work, however
ancient or modern, let the language be what
it may, whether printed or written, but what
may be found here. Among literary curiosities
is an antique Koran, very old; also the ideni
cal prayer-book of Albert Durer-four gospels,
called the c0der aureus, bearing date in the
year S70-another four other gospels, dated
in 1924, and also one of the earliest typo
graphical monuments, it having been printed
in 1854. All the German libraries are rich in
the possession of documents illustrating the
progress made in the art of printing, from
century to century. One is reminded that he
is to see antiquity within, as he passes up the
broad stone steps that lead into the vestibule
of the building. In front of the library at
an elevation of some ten feet above the side
walk, are four colossal statues in a sitting
posture. They are Homer, Hippocrates,
Thucy dides, and Aristotle"

CITY LERGYMEN'S 8ALARLES.

Referring to the salaries and perquisites of
city clergymen, New York paper says:-
Rev. Dr. Hall receives about $40, ,000-not all
salary-but perquisites and donations will
reach this figure. His salary is marked by
distinction peculiar to his own case, being
payable in gold. This arose from his being
called from Dublin, where all currency is on
gold basis, and also because he came at a
time when our paper money was fuctuating
in no small degree. In order, therefore to
place his call on solid basis, it was made
payable in gold. DIR. Tyngs office is worth
$1,000 per annum and comfortable rectory.
DIR. Potter, of Grace Church, takes in not less
than $4,000, beside the use of the best rec
tory in New York. DIR. Adams being very
rich, is not so we'll paid, his berth being not
worth more than $4,000; and Howard Crosby,
who is also rich, is paid in manner equally
poor. DIR. De Witt and DIR. Ormiston, of the
Dutch body, get $1,000. DIR. Dix, of Trinity,
gets his $40, 900, and Vinton, his right-hand
man, must receive nearly as much.
From the rates above mentioned clerical
pay declines to the pittance received by the
city missionaries, which is about $500 per
annum.
Our clergy have very handsome perauisites
for uniting the young and happy couples who
abound in our rich congregations 1t must be
understood that the prestige of high clerical
position adds much to the ecldt of q marriage
.Jete. AS matter of course there is a great
impropriety in demanding the time of a dis
tinguished minister without a fitting compen-
sation. Such men as Tying and Beecher are
not to be put off, like country dominic, with
five dollar bill.
Any one who is ambitious of advertising
his marriage, by such pompous officials, should
touch 500 note at least and presu ne th at

WEDDINGS. Gs.-There are all sorts of we'd
dings and marriages; it would take many
pages to register them, from the marriage of
true minds to that of a couple of money bags
Sometimes the bride and the bridegroom are
two masked figures, tricked up aud disguised,
SO that it would be hard to say which is the
most deceived in the other. Sometimes it is
living creature united to shadow. Have
you ever known a man married to doll :?
He chose her out and paid for her. What a
sweet face it is What high bred calm /!
And then again come the happy lovers; two
and two; as they pass before the high affairs,
the long white wells of the brides sweep
along the gray aisles of the churches;
their happiness hghtens up the faces look
ing on. Then, perhaps, some blooming
young girl comes up, bringing a crutch
and a bronchial wheeZe, and it now and then
happens that youth appears, leading wig
of false plaits, set of artificial teeth, AMI
half century of bones to the altar. The
imagine. There may be heart still beating
beneath all these adjustments, while the
bridegroom, for all his good looks, has not
one single drop of warm blood in his body.
So bad, good, and Indifferent, they pass their
way. Sometimes it is Peace and Goodwill
who go by hand in hand. What does it
matter if Goodwills beard is grizzled, land
Peace has crows feet round about her loving
eyes? Sometimes it is Pride and Vainglory
that go sweeping past down the long church
out into the church yard beyond. They are
fine-looking couple as they sail along, and
they look to see their reflection in. the eyes
of the bystanders. Sometimes-and this is
no very strange phenomenon-it is only the
past of one of the contracting parties that is
united to the present of the other. They
find it out too late.-COrThM Mdgdztae

The Empress and Louis, Jr.


A most curious record is left of the cabinet
de toilette belonging to the Empress. 1t was
here that the Prince Imperial had obtained
leave to attire himself for the private fancy
ball given by the Princess Mathilde on the
occasion of her birthday, last March. Tue
costume chosen by the Prince was that of a
Chinese Mandarin; and the Empress, being
confined to her apartment by On attack of
influenza, had expressed a wish to see him in
his brave attire before his departure. From
the dressing-closet he entered the boudoir,
radiant with delight, rejoicing in his splendor.
His costume was superb-robes of many
colored brocade, trowsers of rich silk, and
embroidered slippers. But upon his head a
calotte, more brilliant than all the rest, a
small skull CAP, made of peacock feathers.
The button was of topaz and rubies and the
ornaments of emeralds; but the Empress, un-
dazzled by its beauty, while the rest of the
company were expatiating loudly on the good
taste and fitness of the coiffure, had turned
pale as she gazed upon it. The old Spanish
superstition concerning the invisible crown
of peacock's feathers, which lies beneath the
crown of gold destined to be lost, had risen
to her mind, and she tore it from the Prince s
head, declaring that he should not wear it at
a ball.
The earnestness of manner, the eagerness
with which the act was performed, left no
hope of any reversion of the decree and
while the Emperor laughed heartily, and the
poor little Prince almost wept at the disap-
pointment the Empress flung the cap pas
sionately into the wardrobe. Here it was
still lying when we paid our visit to the
palace Strange to say, the Flench supersti-
tion, less poetical than the Spanish one which
confines the misfortune attached to peace ok s
feathers to royalty, confers ill-luck to all who
meddle with them; and the Princes skull cap
still remains where the Empress had thrown
it. The jewels which adorned it have
vanished long ago; but no one dared to make
the experiment of the dire misfortune to
be inherited by the owners of the peacock's
plumes.

some of them decently clad and pre-

are engaged in asserting their man

know that it is stated that a French

When you see excellent trouting
In a romantic mountain district" ad-
vertised in the papers, go some where
else.
On arriving where you have believed
trout exist, inquire Of some rural an
gler which are the best brooks, and
fish exclusively in those he runs
down.
In making q cast throw your line as
far as you IAN. The biggest fish are
usually obtained from the long
reaches.
Keep as far as possible from the
brook. If the trout see you they will
connect you with the rod, In which
case you will find it difficult to con-
nect them with the line.
Take some agreeable stmulant with
you to the water side. You will find
it a great assistance when Keeling in.
One of the best places for obtaining
the specklsd prey is under the water
fall-but you needn't mention this to
the ladies.
When you land q tWo-pound trout
(Which you never will,) double the
weight, else what's the use of having
a multiplier.
The experienced angler goes forth
expecting nothing, and is rarely dis
appointed.
Avoid water-courses infested with
saw mills. These damned streams
seldom contain many trout,
A rod should never consist Of more
than three sections, and the angler
should look we'll to his joints after a
wetting. as they are apt to swell and
stiffen in the sockets.
Rise early if you would have good
sport. Should you feel sleepy after
wards, the river has a bed that you
can easily get into.
