A VICTIM OF MISPLACED
.rC CONFIDENCE. zEIA'E

A few days ago a representative Of
the Emerald Isle" from Boston,
visited our city for the purpose ofen-
joying a sail down our beautiful bay.
Whether our individual partakes of
the complexion Of the place of his
nativity we know not, certain it is
though, that he was decidedly green.
Coming up on the boat, he made the
unhappy acquaintance of zone of the
boys" who succeeded, like the
snake, in insinuating himself into
the bosom of his affections. The
son of Erin named over several whom
he knew in Boston, and of course
they were equally well known by
his cunning companion. On arri-
wing in the city the two proceeded
up North Main street, when they
were hailed by third, who proba-
bly, also was sup to snuff" who
said that there was a package in the
express Office which must be taken
out Immediately. For this twenty
five dollars were needed. The con-
stituted expressman must have it
right away, couldn't wait minute.
Not having the requisite ''paper, p"
but having ''plenty of gold" this
man asked the Irishman to lend him
the money. The ''expressman" was
paid forthwith, when the other said
he would step up into his office in
the building, at the corner of North
Main and Waterman streets, when
he would return and refund the mon
ey to his new made friend. He did
not return, however, and has not
since to our knowledge. The swear
er of the green' afterwards found
out from officer Hendrick, that there
is back exit to the building, by
which the sharper decamped. He
then reported himself at central sta
ton for lodging, as he had bat two
dollars in his pocket, which was
necessary to defray his expenses to
his home in Boston.
The luckless man. in being cooked,
Like the lobster changed his hue,
For being heretofore but green,
He now felt rather blue.

THE KING OF SWEDEN.

The death of Charles XIV. Louis
Eugene, King of Sweden and Nor
way, has been quickly and peace
fully followed by the coronation OF
his brother, Oscar Frederic, Duke OF
Ostrogothia, who will be known as
Oscar Ii.
The deceased monarch was forty
six years old, and had reigned thir-
teen. He was in politics a radical
conservative, repudiating the dogma
of whatever is is right, but devoted to
the bringing about of reform in a
safe, slow, and unostentatious way.
In lieu Of four chambers, represent
ing the nobility, the clergy, the bour-
geoisie, and the peasantry, he estab-
lished two chambers, an upper and a
lower, having interacting powers.
The first, or senate, was chosen by
the provincial assemblies the second
by direct popular vote. He abolish
ed capital punishment against the
majority vote Of the houses, by re-
fusing to sign death warrants. He
labored with moderate success to
equalize political rights; and by be-
ing himself a man of letters, sought
to encourage their diffusion. His
leisure was spent in the pursuit of
literature, and he was voluminous
amateur in many departments Of au-
thorship. z'
The domain Of the new monarch
is not so big as to inconvenience him
in its government. Each of the two
countries has its separate legislature
and code. The population of the
two is about SIX millions. The
forms Of government are reasonably
popular, and the King is not heavi-
ly burdened. The people are suf-
fciently satisfied with their condition
not to give themselves much concern
about 1t. The young King-and he
is not SO very young, for he is 43--
will probably SO manage affairs as to
maintain the tranquility and easy
progress that characterized the adj
mlnistration Of his brother. The
Queen is daughter Of the Duke Of
Nassau, and the royal household
consists of six children, Gustav, the
heir, being fourteen years Of age.

The Chicago journal says "Gen-

special inquiry Of leading representa-
lives Of the Pennsylvania Ioyalists

result OF the October election in that

TALL GRASS.

DR.. Livingstone in one Of his re-
cent letters says:
The country is extremely bcauti-
full, but difficult to travel over. The
mountains of light gray granite
stand like islands in new red sand
stone, and mountain and valley are
all clad in a mantle of different
shades Of green. The vegetation is
indescrlbably rank. Through the
grass If grass it can be called,
which is over half an inch in diane
ter in the stalk and from ten to
twelve feet high-nothing but ele-
plants can walk. Tho leaves of
this megatherium grass are armed
with minute spikes, which, as we
worm our way along elephant walks,
rub disagreeably on the side of the
face where the gun is held, and the
hand is made sore by Tending it off
on the other side for hours. The
rains were fairly set in by November;
and in the morning, or after a show
er, these leaves were loaded with
moisture which wet to the bone.
The valleys were deep, undulating,
and in each innumerable dells have
to be crossed. There may be only
a thread of water at the bottom, but
the mud, mire, or (scottice) "glaur"
is grievous; thirty or forty yards Of
the path on each side of the stream
are worked by the feet of passengers
into an adhesive compound. BY
placing foot on each side of the
narrow way one may waddle little
distance along, but the rank crop Of
gfassers, gingers and bushes cannot
spare the few inches Of soil required
for the side of the foot, and down he
comes into the slough.

DRESSING AND DIPLOMACY.

The Pail MaX Gazette of Sep
TENDER 8 says: "Ladies and others
who take an interest in variations of
costume will pick up some useful
hints by studying the proceedings of
the three Emperors at Berlin. Sell
dom, indeed, have three sisters in
one family displayed such ingenuity
in this respect as that exhibited by
their Majesties at the great court
dinner served in the White Hall on
Saturday evening. The emperor Of
Austria, says the telegram, wore a
Russian uniform and Prussian Or
der, the Emperor Alexander Prus-
sian uniform and an Austrian order,
and the Emperor Wilhelm an Aus
TRAN uniform with the Russian Or
der of St. Andrew. No two empe-
rors, it will be observed, were dress
ed alike, and, all three had dipped in
to each others wardrobe. Probably
we shall next hear of the Emperor
of Austria In a Prussian uniform
with a Russian order, the Emperor
Alexander in an Austrian uniform
with a Prussian order, and the En-
|peror 7 William in Russian uniform
with an Austrian order. It would
require afatiguing amount of arith-
metical knowledge to calculate the
various changes their Majesties will
be able to ringlon the. common ward
robes they have thus pleasantly es-
tablished, but we may take it for
granted that this interchange Of cloth
ing augurs well for the peace of Eu-

rope at all events, it is quite impos-
sible that war could be declared until
each Emperor had retired to his own
dressing-room and put on his proper
hablllments. A sudden appeal to
arms when the emperors were dress
ed in the wrong uniforms would lead
to such a serious complications that
even Prince Bismarck himself would
shrink from creating the conAagra-
ton. M

BEAUTIFUL ILLUSTRATION.


If child had been born, and spent
all it's life in the Mammoth Cave, how
Impossible would it be for him to
comprehend the upper world Pa
rents might tell him of its life, its
light, its beauty, and its sounds of
joy; they might heap up the sands
into mounds, and try to show him by
stalsctites, how grass, flowers, and
trees grow out Of the ground; till at
length, with laborious thinking, the
child would fancy he had gained a
true idea of the unknown land.
And yet, though he longed to be-
hold it, when it came that he was to
go forth, it would be with regret for
the familiar crystals and rock-hewn
rooms, and the quiet that reigned
therein. But, when he came up,
some May morning, with ten thou.
sand birds singing in the trees, and
the heavens bright and blue and full
of sunlight, and the wind blowing
softly through the young leaves, all
aglitter with dew, and the landscape
stretching away green and beautiful
to the horizon, with what rapture
would he gaze about him, and see
how poor were all the fancyings and
interpretations which were made
within the cave of the things which
grew and lived without; and how
he would wonder that he could ever
have regretted to leave the silence
and dreary darkness of his old abode |!
So, when we emerge from this
cave of earth into that land where
spring growths are, and where is
eternal summer, how shall we Won
der that we could have chung so fond
ly to this dark and barren life! -Ee-

, PRESERVE FLOWERS
FOR WINTER USE.


5aq Get lot of fine sand, wash it till
all the soluble particles are gone,
which you may test by pouring the
water off till it looks quite clear !;
when you are quite sure of the fact,
pour9the sand on stones or boards
placed aslant, so that the water can
run off, and let it get dry either BY
sun or frs-for it must be perfectly
dry. Then pass the sand through
. sieve, SO that oil dusty particles
disappear from it, as there will be
such, which washing and drying
will not have removed. Then pass
it through coarse seive, SO as to
get rid Of too large grains. When
this is done, your sand should be
a mass Of fine particles of nearly
equal size, as is, for instance, the So
called silver sand. A'
Keep the sand in dry and warm
place, that no vitalizing quality may
remain in it. Cut the flowers in a
fully developed state, taking care
that they are neither wet nor moist
by dew, rain, etc. If you cannot
obtain them in that condition, then
the following troublesome proceeding
will render them dry. Take one or
two flowers at time, and put them
into a glass, into. which pour just
enough water that the ends can
stand in it i; the flower will then dry,
and still suck up water enough not
to fade. Next, get box or a pot,
or anything large enough to receive
your flower or flowers; pour sand
enough into it that they will stand
by themselves, their stems embedded
in the sand. You must then fill up
the box above the level of the flow
ers with sand, so that the flowers
are completely embedded in it. By
means of a tube, or a funnel, or
sieve, you must do this in such a
way that every particle Of the flower
rests in sand, and that your filing
up shall not have crumpIed or dis
placed the smallest petal. Of course
this can be done only in a very slow
way. -tf asa d II. Is
And now take care not to shake
your box, else the flower inside may
get hurt. Garry it to place both
dry and warm, that all the moisture
in the flower may pass into the sand,
which being porous, is in turn acted
upon, and will let the moisture pass
entirely out and evaporate. Avoid,
however positive heat, or the colors
of the flower will fade, whilst at too
low temperature the moisture in
the flower will not dry quickly
enough, and SO rot it. The warmth
should, as a general thing, never ex.
coed 800 Fahrenheit. When you
are sure that your flowers have full
ly dried, open the box, and by hold
ing it in slanting direction, let so
much sand run out that you can lift
the flower by the stem; by turning
it upside down, shaking it gently,
and, if necessary, blowing on it, all
the sand will be removed, and you
have the flower in its most perfect
form, but little brittle, and there
fore requiring careful handling. A
few days exposure to the atmosphere
will impart moisture enough to the
flower to make it considerably less
brittle.
