The literary sensatieROf the hour
in Germany is q revelstiOn regard
ing the 1lfys!erious adhesion Of
Ferdinand the Fifth, in Austria,
during the revolutionary troubles of
1S48. Baron Helfert, who seems to
have been in the secret, now gives
to the world in his history of re-
cent Austria; aud it seems to have
been a mystery from the very be-
ginning. The Emperor had fled
from Vienna to Olmutz to avoid
the dangersof the rebellion. Early
one morning mysterious excite
ment peryaded the old town. La
dies and gentlemen were fastening,
Oh foot or IN carriages, to the Arch
bishops palace mounted orderlies
were flying hither and thither, and
troops ofeyery grade were hasten
ing to a common rendezvous 1t
was soon discovered that nearly all
the members of the Imperial house
hold had arrived in the night, and
that the ministers and all the high
officers Of State were present. No
one OWNED the cause Of this una-
slal activity--ncither the actors nor
the spectators. The most infuen-
tial men Of the realm simply knew
that they were ordered to assemble
in gala dress in the palace at o.
mutz, a little after daylight Of a
December morning. The company
represented nearly every department
of the government, in all varieties
Of dress, even to the priestly robes
of the high officials of the Church.
Anxiety and CONSERVATION were on
every countenance. Even the Arch
duke Ferdinand approached the
master OF the ceremonies, begging
to know why they were thus mys-
teriously called together at so un-
seasonable an hour. His only an
swer was that his lips were sealed
until events should tell their own
story. And thus the tairest princess
OF the Imperial Court were kept in
agony Of suspense.
The incubus on the company was
shown by the ominous silence or
painful whispers, and the waiting
minutes seemed hours. AT last, at
eight o'clock, the folding doors were
thrown open, and their majesties,
the Emperor and Empress, accom-
panied by the Archdukes, Francis
Charles and the present Emperor,
Francis Joseph, solemnly entered
and took their seats assigned to
them. A GREATNESS suspense COR
trolled the assemblage as the Em-
peror arose, and taking a document ,
from his breast, read as follows:
"Weighty reasons have brought me
to the irrevocable determination
to lay down the Imperial crown,
which do in favor of:my beloved
nephew his father, my dear broth
err, renouncing all his rights to the
throne in favor of his cherished
son."
The Emperor then babe the Min
lister of the State lay before him tie
necessary documents for signature
and ratification by witnesses; after
which the youthful successor ap-
preached his uncle and knelt before
him, in such state of mental agita-
ton that he could not command his
wordsot gratitude. The abdicating
monarch bent over him with his
benediction, and then embracing
him, uttered the only free words
heard during the entire scene:
"God bless thee; be honest and he
will protect thee. | have acted
freely and willingly" Women
burst into violent sobs, and the
eyes of strong men became fountains

Oysters i'm n Human Skull.

Photographs of human skull with
oysters attached were sent to Frank
Buck land, the English naturalist. The
skull was Dug up in Swan River, Tas-
mania, and those who found it thought
they had a rare specimen, an evidence
of antiquity. The oysters lie in groups
on the back part OF the skull, and
"they have moulded their shells into a
concave shape, so as to accurately tit
the curve of the convex form o. the
bone of the skull. In each orbit Of the
now vacant place of the eye an oyster
has taken up its abode, exactly mould
ing its shell to the orbital plate of the
frontal bone' Frank auckland max
out three generations of oysters on the
skull, and he judges the youngest of
them to be from nine months to one
year old; the second lot two and a half
years old, and the third lot about five
years old. And then he sums up: 81
should say that some five or six years
ago some poor fellow was drowned in
the neighborhood, and that the skull
happening to fall into-or be rolled to
locality where a swarm of spat' was
swimming about in a sticking humor,
they naturally adhered to it, forming
the curious and interesting group"
This is destroying the romance of an
tiquity somewhat rudely. Still the
oyster shell covered skull is suggestive
of strange emotions, even if the natu
ralist does not regard it as much Of a
mystery

Captured and Abandoned Property.

Chief Justice Chase has delivered an
opinion in the Supreme Court of the
United States, in the case of ParquOd
against the United States, which opens
the way to numerous actions growing
out of the late war The case in point
was a proceeding to recover the pro
ceeds of lot of cotton seized under
the Captured and Abandoned Property
Act of 1868, an appeal from the Court
of Claims, and was argued at the last
term of the Court. The Court Of Claims
dismissed the petition on the ground
that 1t did not aver that the claimant
had not given aid or comfort to the re.
bellion, and that it did not sufficiently
aver executive pardon. The Chief JUS
tice held the same as in the case of
Armstrong Us. United States (recently
decided), that the Presidents proclama-
ton of December %, 1868, granting
pardon and amnesty Internationally
and without reservation, relieves the
claimants, in all cases under the Cap
tured and Abandoned Property Act,
from proof of adhesion to the United
States during the late war, and the
judgmen. of dismissing the petition was
reversed.
1t will be seen that this is the second
decision of the kind that has been rem
dered, and already many persons in the
South have taken advantage OF it. I'M
der these decisions most of the prop.
erty taken at the South during the war
can be reclaimed.

Henry Ward Beecher OH Sunday
Reading and Sunday Recreation.

Henry Ward Beecher lately addressed
an overlooking audience at Cooper In
stitute, New York, on the question,

on Sunday consistent with the Chris
tan uses of the Lords day p Mr..
Beecher spoke eloquently and power
fully for an hour and a half in favor of
opening the public libraries and read.

He said Puritan Sunday had come
down to us with too many bolts. bars.
and rigors. 1t is not the Sabbath of the
Jews, nor is it prescribed or command,
ed anywhere in the Scriptures. He
does not want Sunday mere pleasure
holiday, but devoted to humanity and
enlarging manhood. 1t should be a
day of rest to toiler,, for nowhere in
the world is the tension of secular occu.
pations and activities more exhaustiny
than in America. He is an advocate Of
running ferries and street cars on Sun
day, but would make provision for the
employees on the same to have at least
partial day OF rest. This question of
running street cars and opening libra.
rles on Sunday is one, he said, in which
the wealthy, surrounded by every luxu-
ry, have no share. They possess car
riages, and though, perchance. eat
Sunday dinners plously cooked on Sat
urday, they warm them up usually with
generous wines. "lt had the division
of Sunday" said the speaker, :" / would
say, let a family 20 to church in the
mornings, and let the remainder of the
day be devoted to family greetings and
communions. There is too much teach

enough. Many business men never

alone in the church that moral suscep.
tibilities can be cultivated. The poor
in cities should be encouraged to gratify
their natural impulse on Sunday, to
meet their friends, and visit healthful
rural scenes. The inaigent cannot
spend Sunday in their attics and eel

ment of opening the libraries and re d.
ing rooms proves mischievous, it can
and will be abandoned. He read let
ter from Philadelphia stating that the
Mercantile Library has been opened on
Sunday for the last two years, and that
the attendance has increased from 200
to 400, and better order prevails than
even during the week.

The Baggage of the Shir when he
Travels.

The Shir tribe of Central Africa in
habit both banks Of the River Nile, and
have some remarkable customs. The
men of the tribe never 90 out of their
villages without taking with them all
their personal property. They always
carry their little stools slung upon their
backs. and no one of them ever NOV, $
without his beloved pipe for a compan
ion. To the Shir iron is gold, and this
precious iron is always used for the
mounting of pipes. The bowls are
made Of clay, and rest upon couple of
prongs when not in use. They are very
large, and iron is invariably used for a
mouth piece. The pipe is an implement
of peace, and, beside it, the Shir always
carries his instruments OF war. These
are clubs, solid, heavy, and usually made
of ebony; couple OF lances, a bow,
and a bundle of arrows. The arrows
are about three feet in length and with
out feathers, SO that they can be used
only to hit at short distance.
The clothing of the Shir warrior is
not very heavy, the principal article
being q tuft of feathers worn upon the
top of the head.
The women of the Shir tribe wear q
long tassel of very thin leather thongs
tied to the waist and reaching to the
knees. This is balanced by a leather
apron. Nearly all the iron in the coun
try which is not used for money and for
pipes, is worn upon the legs of the wo-
men. AS they walk, these rings make
a clanking sound, which among the
Shir bellies is considered very fashion
able, and they cultivate the art Of walk
ing SO as to make the anklets clank as
much as possible.
The shells of the river mussel are
made into ornaments by cutting them
into small pieces, and stringing them
upon the hair OF Il CRATES tail, which
is the ST. ongest string known to the Sh!r
women lor that purpose
Like some nations Of greater civiliza-
ton, the Shir tondiy believes that every
tribe except his own is detormed in
some way, and he walks proudly erect,
fondly believing that he belongs to the
only perfect race upon the earth.

nearly 5000 persons listened to Beech

nor sign of dissent on the contrary,
the approval and satisfaction of the
audience was most complete and hearty

The Warehouses of Butte.

Miss Howard, the young lady to
whom the Marquis Of Butte has just been
married, is dnughter of the first wife of
Lord Edward Howard, brother to the
late Duke of Norfolk. Lady Howard
was, previous to her marriage, for scme
months the suhjec: of almost national
interest. Her father, brother of the
(hen Roman Catholic) Earl of Shrew.-
bury, having died, she became ward
of Chancery, and resided with her
mother, who married secondly Mr.
Berkeley, until that iady's death. She
was then put under the gum dianship
of the late Earl and Countess OF Shrcws
bury. They placed her in convent,
not as avisitor or y pupil, but rs pos
lulant, with the avowcd object of al
lowing her to take the veil and become
II nun. She was to take the white vel
in the following September, and the
black veil year after, and would he
entitled soon after to 800 600, the
whole of which would become the
property of the Church of Rome, which,
it is we'll known, is not at all averse to
swallowing such good things. Now it
so happened that, about that time, the
British public was in one of its period.
cal fits of anti-Catholic mania. John
Bull had been eXasperated by the Pope 5
parcelling out ngl.nd into Ro ,ish
dioceses, and was hot and eager for
Lord Russell's Ecclesiastical Titles bill,
in regard to which the sequel showed
amazingly little wool for the prodigious
amount of cry raised SO, when the
cae of this high-born young martyress
was brought forward by her stepfather
there were howls of indignation. The
end of it all was that, happily, instead
of being confined to a nunnery, she
became the wife of an amiable and ex
celent Roman Catholic nobleman, and
the mother of daughter who ha.
caught the biggest fish of the period.
