An unattraetiye Capital.

A correspondent of the Chicago
Inter Ocean writes What could
have dictated the choice of such a
cheerless, melancholy spot for a city as
the plateau on which Madrid is To-
Gated? Spaniards even cast slurs on
their unfortunate capital. The poor
little Manzanares, dignifed by the
name of river and magnifcently
bridged, but completely destitute of
water most of the year, affords sport
for the least funny newcomer. The
climate has been described as
three months winter and nine
months hell. But, with all this,
Madrid has had greater prosperity
than any other Spanish city. Its pop
ulation is at present nearly 400, 900.
Perhaps tine best explanation of the
anomaly is that residence town always
thrives in Europe, as witness the mush-
room growth of Berlin since it became
the capital of the German empire.
There is not much that one sees in wan
dering about the streets during q few
days stay an Madrid that is particularly
Spanish. I hardly dare venture the
remark, and yet it is extraordinary how
dull a city it is, considering its great
size. There is not church worth any
trouble to see, not building that il
more than one expects TO find In every
little German capital the streets are
narrow, the squares few and dusty.

Had Seen Kings. Enough.

A gentleman at Washington was re-
quested by q friend TO join him on o
visit 70 the depot to witness the arrival
of the King of the Sandwiches.
s. No, sir, not much," growled the
gentleman.
sc Have you ever seen king in your
travels? ?'' inquired the friend, marveling
somewhat at his short answer.
Yes, sir" replied the gentleman
'' I was once guilty of seeing three
kings" Then, after moments pause,
he went on 60. say as Andsthey cost me
$3.50, sir. Those were war times, how
ever"
His friend suggested he must have
been in bad company.
"Wen, I don't know" says the gen.
tleman, thought was in pretty good
company at the time. I called to see
those three kings in company with
three queens. another king, and an ace
spot, and have never had any desire to
see one of the royal family since.''
His friend saw the point, said he
passed, and shufled on.

The Return wave.

The New York Tribune gives the sub
joined statement, which may aston1sh
many who suppose that this is the only
country in the world where existence is
endurable
For several days past many persons,
mostly Germans, have besleged the
Offices of the Commissioners OF Emigra-
tion at Castle Garden, and besought
them to provide steerage passage to
Europe. Most of them professed to be
without means, while others asserted
that they had a portion of the passage
money. OF course it was impossible
for the Commissioners to provide means
for them to return to Germany, but in
some few instances where only small
deficiency existed, the balance was sup
piled by the Commissioners. In nearly
every case they came provided with
letters from Germany in which they
were assured that labor is plenty and
profitable at home, and that the de-
mand for mechanics is greater than for
many years previous. Information re-
celved by the Commissioners them
selves from all parts of Prussia shows
that the situation has not been exag-
gerated. Skilled labor is scarce, and
that has been paid for years
past. Book-binders, machinists,
type-setters and mechanics in the
different trades are receiving from ten
to thirty forms week where only one.
third that sum used to be paid. This
rate, considering the prices of rent. pro-
visions and living generally, is equiva-
lent to as many dollars here. Accom-
phshed book-keepers with large manu-
featuring companies are receiving from
5000 to 10000 forms a year. Busi-
ness is brisk throughout the empire and
prosperity and plenty prevail through
out the land. This is accounted for by
the Commissioners and others from the
fact that while Germany is now homo
geneous and q unit, she became en-
rlched by the late war, levying trib-
ute upon France, which was made to
bear all the expense of the campaign.
She was more than Unidentified. Mon
ey became plenty, and the industries,
which had slumbered when the war was
raging, were set in operation at its
close. Business relations were opened
with other nations which previous to
the war had only triding commercial
relations with the Prussian provinces.
There was an increasing internal and
external demand for the manufactures
of Prussia, and skilled laborers were
sought for. But the war had killed off
many of them. It had taken the bone
and sinew of the land, and many who
had not been killed had been MANNED
for life. This created a great want,
and the price of labor advanced. Man
ufecturers and tradesmen as well as the
friends of Germans in this country are
sending to America for them, prohering
good positions at home.

An Incessant Want.

One of the incessant wants of man is
air. We want air mainly to nourish US
and keep us cool. The quantity of air
inhaled by an adult in twenty four
hours amounts on an average to about
three hundred cubic feet, or two thou
sand gallons. That we take in and give
out during twenty hours, in the
shape of solid and liquid food, occu-
pies. on an average the space of five and
half pints, which is equal to one
three hundredth of the volume of air
passing through our lungs. It
will astonish you to hear, per-
haps for the first time, that
this amounts to seven hundred and
thirty thousand gallons in one year,
and to be reminded Of that continuous
work which goes on day and night-a
ne7er-ceasing bellows blowing, by
which the organ of life is kept in play.
OF course the quantity of air flowing
around the surface of the human body
is greater than that. Do not object
chat air is sometimes SO light that il
need not be taken into account. It has
some weight water certainly is seven
hundred and seventy times heavier, but
our daily two thousand gallons have for
all that weight of twenty-five pounds
avoirdupois.

Hew Economy in Advertising Resulted

Hew Economy i'm Advertising Resulted.
Advertising does not flourish in
France as it does, we will not say in
America, for this industry, if it may be
so called, obtains extravagant proper
tions in that country-but in England.
A French writer notices this fact with
some alarm as sign of languid trade,
being unable to account for IL by any
lofty Indifference on the part of the
public to the suggestions of advertis-
ers. To prove that the French public
resembles that of other countries in
this respect, he relates that, being en-
gagged in conversation with the head of
a firm celebrated for its extraordinary
outlay in advertisements, this gentle.
man told him that it had once occurred
to him tc, diminish his annual
expenditure in this direction by the
sum of 25,000f. ''The business" he
argued, ''is fairly afoot; the public is
fully apprised of it; they will come TO
us at any rate; therefore those %, ,OOOf
may as well remain in our pockets. F"
But this reasoning was fallacious, and
that years accounts showed a diminu-
ton of profits fully equivalent to the
supposed saving. It must not, how
ever, be assumed that the French cam
not advertise. A slop-seller lately drew
public attention to his stock, describing
the clothes he made as being, so to
speak, fitted by anticipation, refine
meat worthy of Barnun. = London

The Beginning Of the Year.

It was a curious circumstance, with
which our readers may not all be
familiar, that originally determined that
the beginning of the year should be the
1st OF January. 1t seems odd to begin
the year IN mld-wlnter, especially as
there is nothing In the heavens or on
the earth to mark that as q natural
point to reckon from. The solstices
and equlnoxes, rs open to observation
and as periodically recurring, were
noticed and marked with more or less
accuracy even in the earliest times :;
and, accordingly. most of the Oriental
nations began their year at the autumnal
equinox, as the Jews also did as to their
civil year, though their ecclesiastical
year they dated from the vernal equinox;
the Mexicans too began their year at
the vernal equinox. All the ancient
northern nations of Europe, and the
Peruvians of South America. commenced
the year with the winter solstice, and
SO did the early Greeks and Romans
the Greeks, however, subsequently
changed to the summer so1stice, and
the Romans, under military exigency
to be mentioned in moment, adopted,
in the year 153 B. c., an ordinance
still marks for us, an artificial time for
New Years.
In that year there was serious revolt
against the dominion of Rome within
the so-called Spanish provinces, The
Lus1tanians, ancestors of the present
Portuguese, and the Vettones, tribe
of Central Spain, making common cause
together, defeated two Roman Gov
ernors, marched at will over the penin-
sula, and pillaged even in the neigh
borhood of the Roman capital in Spain,
now Cartagena. The Romans at home
took these events SO seriously as to
resolve on sending Consul to Spain,
step that had not before been deemed
necessary for more than forty years !;
and, in order to hasten the departure of
the military, they even decreed that the
Consuls for the year should enter Office
two months and half before the legal
time. The Consuls were always elected
in the fall, at the close of the military
year, but the day for their entering
upon Office had long been the 18th of
March, near the vernal equinox, the
time when military campaigns were
wont to begin but at this time and for
this reason the day for entering upon
Office was shifted from the 18th of March
cidentally established, as il were, the
beginning of the year which we still
make use of at the present day. julius
Cesar long afterward reformed the
calendar in very essential respects, but
he did not disturb the beginning of the
year, which remained for the Romans,
and consequently for all nations and all
ages, where the exigencies of a Spanish
revolt had once placed it century and
half before Christ.-NeeO York Even

A Remarkable Insurance Case il
France.

A rather remarkable insurance case
lately came before French court. A
M. de Buigny had insured his life in
the Gresham Company, of London, for
"a, 600. Up to recent date he was in
perfect health, but, having taken very
hot bath, it seemed to have the effect of
bringing on some cerebral disorder
which necessitated his being closely
watched but, Notwithstanding such
surveillance, he contrived to get
hold of some prussic acid, and
killed himself. Nine. de Buigny at
once communicated to the Office the cir
cumstances, and found they were re-
solved to treat the case as one of sui
eide, and to decline payment The
French court has decided that when q
man kills himself who does not enjoy
liberty of action, it is not suicide, and
permits Nine. de Buigny to bring be-
fore it proofs of her statement, with
the view, it may be presumed, of en-
forcing payment if she sustains the
came to It's satisfaction.
