In the English House of Lords the Lord
Chancellor is seated on wool sack, that the
importance of the woolen manufacture, the
great staple of that country may be indelibly
impressed upon the public mind. When the
first Congress met after the adoption of the
Federal Constitution, it was in contemplation
but afterwards abandoned, to have the seats
of each delegate wrought with some device
descriptive of the staples of their several
States, viz: Massachusetts, by barrel of

An Irish correspondent of the New York
Evangelist gives succinct account of the
late work of the Irish Episcopal General
Synod. The session occupied thirty-one
days, the reyision of the prayer book being
the principal subject of the discussion. The
writer says that ''the greatest diversity exis-
ted among the Irish clergy in reference to
this subject. On the sacrament, baptism,
priestly absolution, and the ordination SER
vice there is complete antagonism. Some
hold the real presence, baptismal regener:.
atom, sacerdotal absolution of the sick, and
the gift of the Holy Spirit in ordination.
These might be termed Romanizers. Others
hold directly the reverse-thorough Protest
ants. The revision pleases neither. The
consequence is that many will retain the old
prayer book. Many who adopt the revised
one will hold to their own opinion. Dissatis-
faction is widespread among the laity.

the average tract distributor. ''Well, my
good men," said his lordship incognito,
''what are you doing?' The response of one
of the men was not calculated to please or
encourage the amiable prelatc. "We bin q

Bishop; "what do you mean?" ''Why, yer

the Bishop, and straightway improving the

them that he had been taught that one of the
greatest sins was to tell lie. and, in fact, so

and scholars who formed the "Arcadia," to

day in high state to pay visit to the Castle

They stood out on the castles battlements.
and some one proposed that her Majesty
should then and there fire off a cannon,
which delighted Christina of Sevezia greatly.
The cannon was loaded and her ROYAL High

zon for some object at which to aim. The
Villa Medici stood Just in front-a most suit

of this wandering depends upon the conduct
of the wanderers before death. The more

A PRAcTlcAL scheme for supplying the
principal cities of the Union with accurate
standard time, has been projected, and will
soon be carried into effect by the Western
Union Telegraph Company. The plan in
wolves the transmission of the exact time by
telegraph to each locality. The movement
of the pendulum of the Washington clock
will be simultaneous with the pendulum
strokes Of the clocks all the way from Port
land Maine, to San Francisco. The clocks
will be set for local time and standard time,
So that astronomical observers and business
people can be equally accommodated. Al
though the projected regular transmission of
Standard time may be a novelty to the public,
It's practicability has been thoroughly tested.
For more than eight years past our leading

difference in time. and geographical distance
between San Francisco, Salt Lake, .Chey-

Another Herr Won Bismarck.

1t is not generally known, even in Prussia,
that Herr Won Bismarck has graced a seat
in the Prussian Ministry before the present
all-powerful Chancellor. Such is, however,
the case. Herr Levin von Bismarck was
Pruesian Minister Of Justice from 1746 to
1863. Part of his term of Office fell under
the reign of King Frederick William, l., who
kept his Minister in tighter leading strings
than does his descendant that Minister'S re-
lative and namesake. Being informed that
Prussian noblemen living abroad were fre-
quently betrayed into living beyond their
means by desire to equal in splendor or
generosity the nobility of more richly endow-
ed foreign courts, he strictly prohibited his
Ministers from setting foot on foreign soil
and never allowing them to cross. the 'front.'
ier. Prussian air, however, appears to have
agreed. with the elder Bismarck, who was
not permitted to recuit his health, as does
his successor, at Biarritz and Gastein. for he
lived TO very great age. During the last
three years of his life he was, however attlic-
ted with blindness.

The heir apparent of an Indian Prince the
NaWab OF JOanaghur, was married IN the
latter part of May The Nawab spent a very
large amount of money on the entertainment
given to the Europeon and native guests. AS
many as 10000 visitors focked to Joonaghur
from the neigbboring towns to witness the
spectacle, which is said to have been even
more gorgeous than that when the Nawab
received Sir Seymour Fitzgerald in 1870, the
artificial durbar hall along, with it's brilliant
decorations, having cost IS, 600 rupees. The
wedding procession was two hours in passing
a given point. First came half dozen
elephants, gorgeously appareled in cloths of
crimson and gold, and bearing on their backs
a fortune in the shape of magnificent gold
and silver how-dabs, curiously and richly
carved. Next came prancing along the
Nawab's favorite horses, beautifully capar-
isoned. After these came along, in unbrok-
en- succession for nearly two hours, the
friends and native guests of the Nawab,
each, datch being accompanied by party of
nautch girls and the unprepossessing looking
fddling attendants, who gave to the other
wise brilliant pageant grotesque appearance
Last of all came the young bridegroom,
mounted on large elephant, decorated like
the others, with the NaWab behind him, CONF
fortably smoking his hooka; and who, with
the best possible grace, acknowledged the
cheer with which he was greeted by his
guests in the Custom-house. With the pas
sage of the Prince and well-mounted body
guard the grand exhibition was brought to
. close, and the European spectators took
their departure. An hour or two after the
return of the guests discharge of cannon
from the palace announced the fact of the
Princes marriage. On the following day
Captain Wodehouse at the request Of the
Nawab, laid the foundation stone of new
high school, and in the evening the young
Prince married his second wife. Both the

Mechanical Labor.

Mr.. Robert Dale Owen says that in 1885
his father put down the aggregate of mechan-
ical force as equal to the labor of four hum
dred million adults, and estimates by recent
English statisticians, brought up to the pre-
sent time, vary from five hundred to seven
hundred millions. We may safely assume
the means of these estimates-six hundred
milions-as closely approximating the truth
to-day. But the population of the world is,
in round numbers twelve hundred million;
and the estimate of the productive manuel
labor of country is, that it does not exceed
that of a number of adult workmen equal to one
fourth of its population. Thus the daily
labor of three hundred million adults repre-
sents the productive manual power Of the
world. It follows that Great Britain and
Ireland's labor saving machinery equals, in
productive action, the anual labor power of
two worlds as populous as this. 1t follows,
further, inasmuch as the present population
of the British Isles is less than thirty millions,
that seven millions and half of adults re-
present the number of living operatives who
control and mani pulate that prodigious
amount of animate force. Thus, in aid of
the manual labor of seven and half mill
lions of human workmen, Great Britain may
be said 70 have imported, from the vast re-
gions Of invention, six hundred millions of
powerful and passive slaves-slaves that
consume neither food or clothing; slaves
that sleep not, weary not, sicken not; gigantic
slaves that drain subterranean lakes in their
masters service, or set in motion, at a touch
from his hand, machinery under which the
huge and solid buildings that csntain it groan
and shake; ingenious slaves that outrival,
in the delicacy of their operations, the touch
of man, and put to shame the best exertions
of his steadiness and accuracy; yet slaves
patient, submissive, obedient, from whom
no rebellion need be feared, who can not
suffer cruelty nor experience pain

ment of sick and MANNED dogs and birds and
other pets. 1t is kept by Mr.. and Mrs. B. J..

Dor is patient little Spitz dog, the property
of Mr.. Matthews, the diamond broker, and in
the next three cages are litters of SpitZ,
Scotch and black and tan tarrier pups. Every
thing is clean and neat, and the little patients
seem to want for nothing.
''It's our dull season." said Mrs. Dovey.
1--WE havn't many birds under treatment now,
but sometimes we have the place full. Some
time ago canary was brought to US that
had one leg eaten off by rat. Nobody
thought it would liye, but afer time we
brought it round, and it sings as well as ever.
The great difficulty was to teach it to balance
itself on one leg, instead of two, but after
while it learnt even that, and now hops
around as we'll as ever. The only thing in
which it differs from other birds is that it is
put to bed every night on napkin laid in
the bottom of the cage, instead of roosting."
In addition to the other pets, Mrs. Dovey
has twenty Maltese cats, of all sizes and ages,
about which she tells marvellous stories.

A CASE lately heard before the chief COM

an opportunity of judging of the most extra
ordinary profits made by army contractors
during the Franco German. war One OF
these contractors had engaged an agent to
purchase for him in France provisions of all
descriptions. on condition of his receiving
ten per cent of the clear profits. This agent
worked for fortnight only, and on settling
10. 600 thalers. But the contractor had also
other agents for making purchases, and re-
ceived large transports Of provisions from
Germany, on which the agent, of course,
received no commission. Now, as the con-
tractor had clear gain of Ei00. 900 thalers on
the purchases made by this one agent in
France during fortnight his entire profits

have amounted to An eno1fppus sum. o.
