Royal Oddities.

The King of Bavaria is eccentric.
His engagement to marry a princess is
said to have been suddenly broken off
because she persisted in refusing to ex-
press admiration for Wagner's music.
Among his freaks was the construction
of lake on the top of his palace, III
which he sailed about in boat for rec
reation. A few years since he took a
notion that he wanted to see q repre-
sentation of an eruption of Mount Yes
uvius, and Immediately ordered court
pyrotechnist to proceed, regardless of
cost, to produce such spectacle on the
mountain near his secluded palace. He
complied with the order, but the repre-
sentation was not satisfactory. The
court pyrotechnist at Vienna was then
sent for, and he made extensive prepa-
rations and gave entire satisfaction, and
had an order for its repetition, the
King expecting and thinking that he
was and would be the only spectator.
He, however, heard that the villagers
had assembled at the foot of the noun
tain and had witnessed the spectacle
also. On hearing this he countermand-
ed the order for its repetition, sent the
pyrotechnist home, and, ordering the
burgomaster of the village before him,
severely rated him for allowing the
people to approach the mountain.

4 Secret OF the Sea.

The Portsmouth IN. H. Chronicle
reports that Mr.. Hiram Tobey, one of
the navy yard watchmen, found on the
beach of an island in that harbor a
tightly corked bottle, which had ap-
parently been in the water many years,
being completely overgrown with bar
nacles and sea-weed. When broken it
was found to contain slip of paper,
about four inches long and two inches
wide, with marks upon it indicating
that it had been part of a ships log
book, and bearing the following in.
scription "Decem5er IA, 1861. Ship
Jane, Arctic Ocean. write this know
ing that l shall never see land again,
hoping that some one will pick it up.
Yesterday the Captain died, which
would write more if l
could, but I am starving to death. "
Several words not legible are expressed
by the asterisks. The ink is very pale,
and the paper somewhat discolored.
The writing, though indistinct, was
easily read by the aid of magnifying
glass. The document is now in the
hands of Commander McCook, at the
Portsmouth Navy yard.

Would Not Believe.

A correspondent relates the following
story of coachman who had evidently
never puzzled his head with chronology
OF any other kind of ology: "A friend
of mine was riding few years ago on
the outside of coach, when the driver
said to him, I've had coin guy me
to-day two hundred years old. Did you
ever see a coin two hundred years
old p
"'Oh yes! L have one myself two
thousand years DID,
"Ah,' said the driver, have YEP
and spoke no more during the rest of
the journey. When the coach arrived
at its destination, the driver came up to
my friend with an intensely self-satis-
fed air, and said, Il told you, as we
druv along, I had coin two hundred
years DID,
"'Yes.' .. ...,
"And you said to me as you had
one two thousand years old.
"' Yes, so L have ..--
"Now it's lie.' ...
"What do you mean by that ?
"' What do 1 mean Why, it's only
1867 now !'

Tragic Narrative of Facts.

The heirs of two brothers, named
Jacques and Francois Lefevre have,
through their attorney, presented me-
mortal TO the Indiana Senate, which
reads more like an epitome of a tragic
romance than narrative of actual
facts. Jacques Lefevre came to this
country about the year 1880, and set
tied in Lawrence county, Indiana, near
st. Francisville, on the banks of the
Wabash. For fifteen years he toiled
industriously on his farm, chopping
wood and selling it for fuel to passing
steamboats,.
In 1S45 he was murdered-shot while
standing near his wood-pile waiting for
an approaching steamer. An inquest
was held, but the mystery of the as
sassination was not solved, and the in
cident gradually dropped cut OF the
recollection of the people in the neigh
borhood. Eight years later Francois
Lefevre came over from France to col
lect what might be due the estate of his
brother, and to live on the farm but a
few months after his arrival he, too,
was shot on precisely the same spot
where his brother fell, and his murderer
was never apprehended, nor any clue
obtained concerning his identity.
The Lefevre estate consisted of. sew
enty-three acres, and since Jacques was
shot, although the farm has produced
nothing, the taxes have been regularly
paid by the heirs. They have repeat
edly endeavored to sell the land since
the murder of Francois, but notwith-
standing the fact that it was offered as
low as $3.50 an acre, nobody could be
found willing to risk his life by taking
up his abode on this ill-omened place.
For this reason the heirs petitioned the
Legislature to accept the Lefevre estate
on behalf of the Commonwealth, to be
devoted to any public use for the bene,
fit of the county of Lawrence, on con-
dition that the same will be known as
"the Bloody Field, or by any other ap-
propriate denomination reminding the
actual generation of the impunity some,
what inexplicable of a double murder
under more inexplicable circumstances
at eight years interval" They also
ask that the sum of the taxes paid on
the estate from 1845 to the present time
may be reimbursed to them, and bill
drawn in the interest of the petitioner
is.now before the Indiana Senate for its
action thereon. Irte 1iH as. "a

Frightened.

A cat which stuck its head too far
into tin can, in New Jersey town
one night lately, was the innocent
cause of lively excitement. The
family supposed a burglar must be III
the kitchen, and while the ladies very
properly tainted, the gentlemen armed
themselves and began firing wildly out
of the windows, to let the supposed
marauders know there were fire arms in
the house. The police and members of
the fire department We're anything but
complimentary in their remarks as they
jonrneyed homeward. =

AN INCIDENT reader sends the
following pleasant incident. About
eight years ago young canary bird was
found in the garden of family resi-
ding in Baltimore. The little creature
was caught, and claimed as the special
charge of the mother in the family
The bird, however, failed to develop
any gift for singing, and the family
thought it useless to keep it; but the
mother had become too much attached
to it to think of parting with it, and so
it became her constant companion for
years. Last December the lady died,
and on the very day she passed away
her little bird, so long silent, burst
forth into charming song, as if to com-
fort the bereaved ones. 1t has con-
tinued to sing ever since, particularly
toward evening. The coincidence is re-
markable and pleasant. 1t should be
mentioned that the lady herself was
highly gifted with musical talents.

BEFORE Judge McAdam.
Sernlngt0n VS.. Proctor ct ai.-Thts case was one
in which Robert Semington. formerly q Rail boy at
the Westminster Hotel was plaintiff, and Charles
b. Ferrin. the proprietor Of the hotel, and Profess
sor Richard A. Proctor, the distinguished English

defendants. 1t appeared on the trial that about
December 10 last the defendant, Professor Proc
tor, who was stopping at the Westminster, lost
three diamond SHIRT studs. Shortly atterward the
STUDS were returned to him by the plaintiff. who
received liberal reward. On December 26, these
facts having been reported to Mr.. FerrIn, he made
inquiry and caused the arrest OF plalntn and
one Peter McAlarney, another hail boy at the
HOTEL The latter confessed the taking OF the studs
from Professor PrOctors room and selling them to
plaintiff. At the Speciai Sessions McAiarney was
found guilty and sent TO the House OF Refuge and
plaintiff was discharged. Plaintiff then brought
this action to recover 81, 600 damages for SANDER
and malicious prosecution. Defendants counsel
set up probable cause Tor the arrest.
The evidence showed that plaintiff kept the
studs some three or four days after being informed
that they were the property OF Professor Proctor.
Defendants counsel moved for a nonsuit on the
gTounds-hrst, that the action OF the defendants
was fully justified by the facts OF the case ana,
second that there was full proof OF probable cause.
Motion granted and Judgment for defendants,
with $25 allowance. For plaintiff, David Levy and
JOS Steinert; for defendant, s. A. and D. j. Noyes.
