THE LORD OF SCHwATZENBECK.-The ex-
tensiye estate OF Schwatzenbeck which the
Emperor William the First lately presented to
Prince Bismark, in recognition Of his public
services during the recent war with France,
and whose name will heucrforth figure among
the numerous titles of the Chancellor OF the Ger
man Empire, belonged in times gone by to the
Crown of Denmark and became the property
of the King of Prussia when Lauenburg was
annexed to his Kingdom. BY this gift Prince
Bsmark has probably become the weathiest
landed proprietor in Northern Germany His
estate, which is intersected by numerous rail
roads. among them the important line connect.
ing Berlin and Hamburg, is one of the most
productive and charming in that part of Ger
many. While it lies within few hours ride
of Berlin. Hamburg. Lubbock and Schwerin, it
contains forests stocked with all sorts of game,
and its gentle, undulating hills present to the
lover OF the picturesque attractions such as
are rarely to be found in the north of Germany.
There are several chateaux on the estate, but
Prince BIsmark will probably erect more
suitable residence on the heights which rise on
the western side of the Berlin and Hamburg
railway, and afford a magnificent view of the
whole country

BOLD CHALLENGE.--The Radical press has
for some time been teeming with false state
ments of the extravagant expenditures anG
frauds committed by the Tammany leaders In
the matter of the New York city government
which are unsupported by facts. In reply tc
such calumnies Oakley Hall, the Mayor, and
Comptroller Connolly, as the most effectua
way of spiking that Radical gun, sent joint
letter to William E Dodge, President of the
Chamber of Commerce, or in his absence, to
Mr. Opdyke. inviting them with committee
to make a thorough examination of all the
original vouchers, books, accounts, debts, &C.
of the city and county of New York, and re-
port the result Of their Investigations to the
people. They courted investigation, and Of
fered to assist these two gentlemen, or the
Committee from the Chamber of Commerce,
throughout the entire examination of all the
matters relating to the financial condition of
both the city and county. They desire that no
act of theirs should be CLOSED over, nothing
covered up, and yet tor reasons best known
to themselves, the gentlemen above named,
who are both leading Radicals in that city, de.
clined to prosecute the Investigation either in
person or through the nstrumentality of a
committee; and still the Rodical papers howl
about the corruption of the "Tammany ring"

fear that the SANDERS will be brought home to
them. \ committee of leading Radicals, at
the request of Comptroller Connolly, made a
Thorough examination of the condition of af
fairs in his Office less than year ago, and they
found everything straight, and the financial
affairs the city properly conducted, and so GER

INDIAN JUGGLERY.-While the torn-tom
was beating and the pipe playing, the juggler,
singing all the time in low accents, smOothed
place in the gravel, three or four yards before
US. Having thus prepared bed for the plant
to grow in, he took basket and placed it over
the prepared place, covering it with thin
blanket. The man himself did not wear a
thread OF clothing, except a strip around bis
lons. The time seemed now to have come for
the detectives eye! So just as he was be-
coming more earnest in his song, aud while
the tom-tom beat and the pipe shrilled more
loudly, stepped forward with becoming dig
nifty and begged him to bring the basket and
its cover to me-. He cheerfulIy complied, and
carefully examined the basket, which was
made OF open wicker-woIk., / then examined
the cloth covering, which was thin, almost
transparent, and certainly had nothing con.
cealed in it. / then fixed my eyes on the strip
OF clothing with such intensity that it was not
possible it could have been touched without
discovery, and bade him go on, feeling sure
that the trick could not succeed Sitting down
he stretched his naked arms under the basket
staging aud smiling as he did So; then lifted
the basket off the ground, and behold, green
plant about a foot high Satisfied with our
applause, he went on with his incantations.
After having sat a little to give his plant time
to grow, he again lifted the basket and the
plant was now two feet high. He asked US to
wait little longer, that we might taste the
fruit! But on being assured, by those who
had seen the trick performed before, that the
result would be obtained. confessed myself
DONE" without the slightest notion of the
how. | examined the ground, and found it
was smooth and unturEed Apparently de-
lighted with my surprise, the juggler stood
laughing when one of his companions chucked
pebble to him, which he put into his mouth
Immediately the same companion, walking
backwards. drew forth cord of silk, twenty
yards or SO in length; after which the juggler,
with his hands behind his back, threw forth
from his mouth two decanter stoppers, two
shells, spinning top, stone, and several other
things. followed by n long jet of fire If the

A TREASURY RARNACLE.

Some restless refoTmer who has been p1ous-
ing among. the papers in the English home
0hce, has discovered that the American de-
scendants of William Penn have received an.
nually out OF the British treasury $4,000, ssince
the year 1870, the. total amount exclusive of
interest being, In our currency, about ST .6OO,-
600. 1t appears that during the Revolution
the descendants of Penn maintained their alie-
glance to the crown, in consequences, of which
the Legislature of Pennsylvania in ITO passed
an act forfeiting the Penn lands, and declaring
the title thereto vested In the State Accord
ing to an estimate made by Franklin, this es-
tate was then worth 9l0,000,00O sterling.
From the sale of the lands the State derived
over eight hundred thousand pounds, and then,
" in remembrance of the enterprsing spirit Of
the founder and of the expectations and de-.
pendence Of his descendants.n made an appro-
priation to the Penn family of hundred and
thirty Thousand pounds But after this, the
English Government, deeming it fit to rec6g-
nize the loyalty of the Tory Penns, granted the
pension on the proposal of Mr.. Pitt, and hav-
ing once been paid, according to that peculiar
English system Of adherence to precedent, the
logic of which is facetiously stated to be, that
because a thing has once been done, therefore
it should be done always it has been included
in the annual budget ever since
Hc WIN Elduc LHlS ulSCOfeTy pro-
posed in the House of Commons to cut off the
pension. But when the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer rose and stated that it was justified by
ninety years precedent therefore he did not
feel that to stop it was justifable, though per-
haps it might be brought in, the House bowed
to precedent, and the matter was dropped. So
the British Government continues TO pay 3d.
0OO year TO an American citizen named
Stewart, in recognition of the loyalty Of his
great-grand-uncle and other remote ancestors.
We presume he Is of opinion that he can stand
it as long as her Majesty's Government can.
In like fashion numerous similar drains upon
the British treasury are kept up, though no.
body can tell why it is 50, except that they =.
come down from former ages, and while the
United Kingdom groans under the burden of
over-taxation, and whoever proposes retrench-
ment is set down dangerous radical, bent
upon unsettiDg things aud introducing fell
disorder. .r ......sa .is
