months afterward, in the very town
where he was to have the hangman's
halter placed around his neck for
death, he had the moose Of matrimony
thrown around him for life, and the

The approaching visit to this country
Of Prince Alexis of Russia has set all
theromancers and story mongers at their
busiest concerning himself and the va
rious members of his suite. The last
gossip in circulation in Washington cir
cles is to the effect that a young scion Of
the Russian nobility managed to run
away from home some eighteen or TWEEN
ty years ago, and in his wanderings
reached America. Here he got out OF
money, and was reduced to the utmost
extremity, being compelled to sell the
few valuables he had TO get bread-hay-
ing no letters, and being a stranger in a
strange land. In want, and almost in
rags, the prodigal was desirous of return
ing home, and in desperation threw him
self on the kindness Of lady whom he
had met in society. Having but little
ready money, she gave him a valuable
Jewel, which he was to dispose Of and
keep the proceeds. Full of gratitude,
the young man departed, vowing that
should be reach his home she should be
amply compensated. Several years
passed, and the lady heard nothing of
him. AT length, one day, package
reached her through the Russian Lega-
ton at Washington, containing a set of
fine emeralds and cape and muff of mag
nifcent furs, with an autograph letter
from the Russian she had aided, stating
he had reached his home, and was now in
situation to acknowledge the debt he
owed her. Here the matter ended. This
lady is the mother of several blooming
daughters, and is quite in hutter Of late
by discovering that her Russian prOtege
has, through the death of those near to
him, become the owner of titles and
estates, and, further, that he is one Of the
suite of the Grand Duke Alexis. Who
knows what may come Of it2 say the

an ambitious young debater in a village

eonundrum: "Effr a man plants a

mulgated belong2 to the man who

TricksIof IuerIers.

A traveller at Kinsai was entertained
by the Viceroy, the Amir Kustai, and this
was one Of the ADJUSTMENTS:
That same night n juggler appeared,
who was one Of the Great Kaan's slayes,
and the Amir said to him, Come and
show us some of your wonders" Upon
this no took wooden ball with seven
holes in it, through which long thongs
were passed, and laying hold Of one Of
these, slung it into the air. Ut was the
hottest season Of the year, aud we were
outside in the middle of the palace court. }
There now remained only short end Of
a thong in the conjurers hand, and he
desired one of the boys who assisted him
10 lay hold of it and mount. He did so,
climbing ny the thong, and we lost sight
Of him. The conjurer then called to him
three times, but getting no answer, he
snatched up a knife, as il in o great rage,
laid hold of the thong, aud disappeared
in his turnl By-and-by, he threw down
one Of the boys hands, theR foot, then
the other hand and the other foot, then
the trunk, and, last of all, the head
Lastly, he came down himself, putting
and blowing, and with his clothes all
bloody, kissed the ground before the
Amir, and said something 10 him in
Chinese. The Amir gave some order in
reply, and our friend then took the lad S
limbs, laid them together in their places,
aud gave kick, when prestol there was
the boy, who got up and stood before usl

Many years ago made my first visit
to Washington headquarters at old
Tappan Town, about half q milp from
the Seventy-six House. The ancient
edifce was more than a hundred and

We we're courteously welcomed by its
then occupants, two elderly ladies who
we're born in the house.
Nothing could be 10 more perfect

One OF the two ladies was over eighty
years old, and her sister was seventy-five.
They we're very lively for persons so aged,
and were obligingly communicative.

to make his wine sangaree intOi and

A PROPENSITY FOR TWINS.
The Story OF N Remartabie Family
In the Kentucky Mountains.

From the Courier-Journal.l
About one mile from jamestown, Rus
sci county there lives one Of the most
remarkable families in all this common
wealth, and probably in the United
States Mr.. James Jeffries, who is now
In this city serving upon the petit jury
in the United States Court, tells his own
story, and says that he was married be-
fore he was seventeen years old, his
wife being only Eve days younger than
himself They lived together seven
years without children, when his wife
gave birth to twins, boy and girl. In
the fifteen years which followed, nine
teen children were born TO the happy
couple, each Of the first three births
being twins, and each subsequent birth
alternating between twins and single
births, until the fifteen years we're ac-
complished and nineteen children
composed the family circle, seven
pair of twins being born during the
time. Mr.. JefIres is only forty-6Ye
years old and is still youthful in appear
ance and very stout. His wife meyer
had better health in all her life than at
present, though she viii not weigh a
hundred pounds. Her greatest weight
at any time was one hundred and ten
pounds. The boy Of the first twins now
weighs one hundred and sixty.fve
pounds, the girl one hundred and twenty
five pounds, All the boys who are grown
have made large men; the girls are Of
good size and all the children healthy.
But FIVE out Of the nineteen have died
Mr.. Jeff'ries has ten brothers, all Of whom
are large men, and within the families
of these eleven brothers, there are
thirty-seven pairs Of twins, making
seventy-four twin children, to say
nothing of the host of single ones. Five
of Mr. Jeffries' children are married,
and, added to all these singular facts,
notwithstanding the absence Of silyery
locks on his head he is the grandfather
of five children. rnHf.r

the person-especially the young person
who is so sensible Of the value Of

Knowledge is the prize Of application

INDEPENDENCE is jewel priced above

are but two ways Of reaching independ-

which attains eminence by triumphing
over all opposition-or that super-emi-

MY OLD LOVE.


| hear in the thicket the brooklet's fall; fir
A thrush on a lilac spray
Sings as of old the tesper song
Of the slowly waking day; .-+.-...,....
And the fragrance comes down from the
chestnut trees
In the meadows where daises blow.
As it came whom the tender twilight came.
In the springs Of long ago.
Far over the dark and shadowy woods
Comes floating the church-bells chime, ~
And wander and dream in the fading light,
As dreamed in the olden time,
When fingered under the chestnut bough
Till hushed was the birds sweet strain.
And the shimmering light Of the moonbeams
fell
On the leaves like silver rain.
But never again shall wait and watch,
:. In the hush Of the sweet spring night.
For step in the depth Of the rustling copse.
And never again meath the deY-gemmed
flowers,
Shall linger my love and 1,
When the tremulous stars through the heeey
bars
Look out in the western sky.
Yet joy which is nameless and strangely sad.
Throbs in my hearts deep core,
AZ the sweet, sweet love Of the days long ied
Is thrilled into life once more.
O dear was / to the heart that is cold,
And her love overshsdOWs me still;
And the stars shine down on her grave tonight
In tho lone churchyard on the hill.
