The marriage allowance of COS, 900 per
annum (3l25, ,OOO) to Prince Alfred. duke OF
Edinburgh, who is about to marry the czars
only daughter, Marie Alexandrovna, was in
stantly voted by the British house Of lords,
and more reluctantly by the commons. On
tho second reading, the yeas were 1862 and the
nays Is. The stout protest of the minority
was accompanied however, with such an ex-
preston of the people as indicates that there
must be an end and not long hence, to these
frequent applications by tho crown for grants
or annuities to the royal children" Premier

THE CLOUD.

A cloud came over land OF leaves
20 hush, little leaves lest 1t pass you byD
How they had waited and watch'd for the rain,
Mountain and valley, and vineyard and plain,
With never q sign from the sky!
Day after day had the pitiess sun
Lookd down with lidless eye.
But now On sudden a whisper went
Through the topmost twigs of the poplar-spire;
Out Of the east light wind blew
(All the leaves trembled, and murmurd, and drew
Hope to the help Of desire,)
1t stirred the faint pulse Of the forest-tree
And brcathod through the brake and the brier.
Slowly the cloud came; then the wind died,
Dumb lay the land in its hot suspense;
The thrush ON the elm-bough suddenly stopped,
The wcather-warnd swallow IN md-hying drop
ped,
The linnet ceased song in the fence,
Mute the cloud moved, till 1t hung overhead,
Heavy, big-bosomd, aud dense.
All the cool rush through the dry-tOngaed trees
The pat,er and plash on the thirsty earth,
The eager bubbling OF runnel aud rill.
The lsping of leaves that have drunk their I'LL,
The freshness that follows the dearth
New life for tho woodland, the vineyard, the vale
New life with the worlds new birth
AL the Year Round.

Housekeeping Amenities Among the
Cannibals.

Housekeepers will be surprised to
learn that their custom OF sending in to
neighbor to borrow little butter or
sugar or other articles OF diet is quite
common among the savages of the Fee
ieo. When lady in Feejee has some
friends to dinner unexpectedly, she
goes over to the woman across the way
and says, "Yak yak and his family have
Just dropped in to dine, and haven't n
thing in the house. How do you think
your hired girl would work mp into II
stew? Can borrow her for few days?'
drags her over, chops her up with pars-
lev and carrots, and celery-tops and
cloves, and lets her simmer over the fire.
Or maybe the other woman sends over
and says: "rm entirely out OF meat !;
can you lend me your little William
Henry for hash, Or your Mary Jane for
pie ?" And over go William Henry
and Mary Jane, and they are stuck with
fork and basted and put on to cook
gently, and the debt is paid off the next
week by the borrower sending back her
aunt, already boiled and suitable for
cutting down for tea, or one OF her
twins corned so as to ma @ a nice lunch.
Sometimes woman in this manner Will
work off couple of her NOTWITHSTANDING
or rich uncle, or a plump second cou-
sin, and then she will sit at her window
and sniff them as they are cooking in
he kitchen next door, or watch one OF
the company in the dinner room nib
bling at the elbow of her late hired girls.
The custom seems to us m excellent one,
particularly, when it is applied to hired
girls. We have had girls whom we
would have loaned to a neighbor at any
time under solemn promise that they
should be butchered and boiled as
quickly as possible. .-Diar hdcter.

MANNERS are of more Importance
than laws. In great measure the
laws depend on them. The law touch
es us but here and there, and now and
then. Manners are what vex ind soothe,
corrupt or purify, exalt or debase, bar
barize or refine us by constant, steady,
uniform, insensible operation, like that
of the air we breathe. They give their
whole color to our lives. According to
their quality they aid morals, they sup
ply them, or they totally destroy them.

Rebuilding the Column Vendome.

The London Builder gives the first
definite information as to the progress
and difficulties of the work of recon-
structing the Column Vendome, at
Paris. 1t appears That the masonry
work is only just begun. There are
more difficulties in the way OF this part
of the undertaking than most OF the un-
initiated outsiders imagine. 1t is i'm
agined that the foundation and pedestal
base can be built like an ordinary wall,
This is impossible. From motives OF
economy it is intended to utilize the
stone-work of the old column, Mt least
all those portions of it which have not
been excessively attenuated or deformed
by the demolition. Two-thirds of the
materials can be 30 used the remainder
of the work will have to be executed as
at the first erection OF the column.
But even among the two-thirds judged
serviceable there are only two steps alb
solutely intact. The others require 10
be repaired, and will be replaced or re-
joined by means of cement in the Place
Vendome itself. But this reparation is
not the most difficult operation. The
interior of the column is formed by
huge square blocks of stone pierced at
intervals with large holes, into which
are soldered cramp-irons that hook the
outer bronze plates by a species OF
horseshoe eye let attached to the in
most surface of the plates in tho fonn-
dry. The problem to be solved now is
one that requires the incest precision.
Tie completed column will be sur
mounted not by the little barelegged
Caesar placed there in 1S64-65, but the
old statue, relegated to Courbevole, OF
the emperor in gray redingotc aud jack
boots, with the arms crossed in the
legendary attitude. The statue is con-
siderably injured, but not irreparably.
The new column is not likely to be
completed before the end Of tho year.

Some time ago il was stated In published
letters from it's agents in Europe. that the
Backbone Railroad Company had nego-
tiated its bonds, purchased iron, and was
ready to go 60 work. At the time we thought
the statement rather ''ishy,' but a. prepar-
ations were soon afterward made to survey
the line no doU Dts were expressed. and we
began to hope that the road mi ght be bUils.
BIT now comes Mr.. Habes, as one speaking
