PANEs IN HIS SToMACH.-There is a

describes it, "and secured a piece

and brought in several friends to wit.

deliberately bit out a piece about the
size of a silver half-dollar, and chew
ed it up with as much gusto as if it
had been a piece of bread, swallowed
it, taking afterwsrd q swallow of wa
ter and bread, he said, to get the par
ticles out of bis teeth. He would
have eaten the whole piece il had

tumblers for a drink Of whiskey. He
said be would eat any kind Of glass
except the colorsd bottle glass which
had poison in it. He was first in

as much; SO he tiled it by only eat

eaten glass for the amusement Of

THE PRINCE OF wALrs IN PuuLIc.

A London correspondent writes /:
Albert Edward takes great pains to
show that he is interested in every
thing that is going on, to be present
on many public occasions, to visit
public institutions, and to exetcise
very genial and general hospitality.
He has cultivated with evident care
his natural talent Tor public speak
ing, and is really one Of the most
easy and graceful aftet dinner speak
ers in England. Most princes have
even their shortest addresses written
out for them by some skillful courtier
or secretary. Tie Prince of Wales
always composes what he has to say,
and not seldom speaks quite on the
spur Of. the moment, without the
slightest previous, preparation. He
is finished in the art of compli-
ment, and recently won earnest
praise ii France for the neatness and
tact with which he turned his phrases
in the most unexceptionable French.
Moreover, in his manner generally,
whether he is on his feet addressing
the most elegant assemblages, og
whether in various relations with
society, he exhibits in a striking de-
gree the invaluable quality of tact.
He is always the suave and consider
ate gentleman. He conciliates all,
by putting everyone completely at
his ease. He is invariably kind to
his servants, his tenants, and the
officials about his person. There is
not more popular landlord in Eng
land the peasaItty and neighbor-
hood of Sandringham are completely
devoted to him. If he was ever
neglectful Of the charming Alex
andra, he has quite mended his ways;
for he is now uniformly gentle
toward her, and takes pains
to speak often in her praise at the
dinners whese her health is drunk in
conjunction with Ills own. His in
terest in the arts and charities is to
all appearance sincere, and has won
him a host of valuable friends. If
he is still somewhat extravagant, it
is at least in way pleasing to Eng
hsh tastes public opinion here is
lenient with prince who spends
money ON the turf, and lavishes his
income ON generous hospitalities.
His fondness for the sports of the
field and moor, too, appeals wildly
to national sympathies it adds even
to the popularity Of IL Cabinet Min
lister when he is known to be a good
horseman and skillful follower of
the hounds. Not long ago it was
seriously urged in an argument in
favor of Lord Harrington as a sue
cessor of Mr.. Gladstone in the Liber-
al leadership that he was one of the
best riders and hunters in the land.
So king who is an adept at sport
must be very obnoxious in other re-
spects not to be thoroughly popular
with the English.

Live for some purpose in the world.
Always act your part well. Fill up
the measure Of duty TO others. Con
duct yourself 80 you shall be missed
with sorrow when you are gone.
Multitudes Of our species are living
in such n selfish manner that they
are not likely TO be remembered
after their death. They leave behind
them scarcely any traces Of their ex-
istence, and are forgotten, almost as
though they had never lived. They
are, while they live, like some pebble
lying unobserved among q million
ON the shore, and when they die they
are; like the same pebble, thrown
into the sea, which Just ruflles the
surface, sink, and is forgotten, with
out being missed from the beach.
They are neither regretted by the
rich, wanted by the poor, nor cele-
brated by the learned.
Who has been the better for their
life? Whose tears have they dried
up2 Whose wants supplied? Whose
misery have they healed? Who
would unbar the gate Of life to read
init them back TO our world with q
smile? Wretched unproductive
mode Of existencel Selfshness is It's
own curse; it is a starving vice. The
man who does no good gets none.
He is like the meath in the desert,
neither yielding fruit nor seeing
when good cometh; O sthnted, dwarf
ish, miserable shrub.

WHAT JAMES LICK DID FOR CALI
FORNIA.

The sale of the estate of James
Lick in San Francisco on Tuesday
last recalls the brief history of the
most extraordinary bequest Of mod
ern times. A portion of the immense
estate, given to trustees tor public
Use, was sold for two million Of col
lars. The residence is yet to be sold,
but sufficient sum has already been
realized to accomplish the specific
purpose contained in the extraordi-
nary deed. The story Of Mr.. Lick's
life--how in the early part Of the
century, while yet a poor boy, he
started out from Philadelphia for
South America acquired small for
tune there when he hastened to San
Francisco when the gold fever was at
its height, finally realizing immense
profits on judcious investments in
real estate there-need not be repeat.
ed. He is now seVenty-eight years
old, and does not choose to wait un-
tilt death shall throw his property into
the hands of bungling corporations
and grasping heirs. He therefore in
July last gave his whole estate to
seven trustees. The sum of 100000
is to be dev oted to the construction
in California of a telescope, superior
to and more powerful than any yet
made; S300,00U 10 endow an institu-
ton 10 educate both sexes in the par
ticular arts of life; $4,000 to build
ing a monument TO commemorate the
history of California; $4,000 TO a
monument to Francis Scott Key, au-
thor of the 'Star Spangled Banner"
$4,000 to free baths for the San Fran.
and 100000 in establishing
home tor the old ladies who have no
support, There are numerous other
gifts of $4,000 and $4,000, each to
various charities and the family of Mr.,
Lick is also remembered. The resi-
due of the estate goes to the Calltor-
MIA Academy of sciences and the So.
ciety of California Pioneers. The
trust embraces every inch of ground
and every cent of money owned by
Mr.. Lick, and he only reserves for
himself the use during his life of his
homestead at San Jose, and such sums
of money as he may from time to
tirre demand OF his trustees, not ex.
ceeding, however, the sum of S25,OOO
per annum.

SOMETHING New IN WEDDINGS
The English fashion for conducting
weddings has become universal 10

away with and ushers take their place.
AS these last are essential to the
number of eight, the supply Of suita.
BILE and available young men would he

sary as groomsmen. Besides, the et-
feet around the chance is finer, if the
girls pretty dresses are not marred
by the intermihgling OF black coats,
Gentlemen ought to rejoice that they
do not have to go through the trying
ordeal of kneeling around chancel
in full view of hundreds of eager Gu
rious eyes behind them-girls who at

scenic effect. The floating draperies
of the bridesmaids appears to even
greater advantage when the fair wear
ers kneel in graceful postures; but
the men look ridiculous with their
coat tails touching the steps and the
soles OF their boots turned Upward.
At a glance the observer can easily
tell if those boots are old or new,
and the number worn, So grooms-
men are things Of the past, and the
best man has only to stand by the
groom unlil he receives the bride.

About two or three months ago a
nan named James Collins attracted
considerable attention by bis frantic
endeavors 10 convict somebody of
something in the Police Court. He
first procured the arrest of three men
named Card, Pepper and Brown, on
charges of petty larceny in stealing
wagon wheels, 1t was concusive1y
proven that the men were limo ent
and they were discharged. He sub
sequently procured the arrest Of
Judge Doigneau on a charge OF an
assault to murder, which was similarly
disposed Of. He afterwards endeav.
ored to dismiss the Prosecuting At
torney from his position through tho
medium OF petition to the Board Of
Supervisors. He has had lawsuit
pending for some time with his part
ners in the wheeIright business, which
was yesterday morning decided ad.
versely to him in the County Court.
yesterday afternoon he entered the
Police Court in state OF great OK.

THE Salt Lake Tribune gives near
ly two columns descriptive of theiar-
rest Of John d. Lee, who has been
indicted for the Mountain Meadow
massacre, and who was Major of the
Nauvoo Legion at tho time of that
terrible occurrence. Resistance was
at first contemplated; and Lee hid
himself in a bunch Of straw, but he
finally surrendered without causing
any trouble. He is said to be sixty
two years old, with steel gray hair,
face shayen smooth and clean, and
ruddy complexion. He has a mild
blue eye, and not unpleasant coun-
tenance, though his gaze Is somewhat
unsteady. He claims relationship
with the Lees of Virginia, though he
was born in one of the Northern
States. For a year he has lived be-
yond the Colorado river, whore he
had small garden and raised some
grain. He has eighteen wives and
fity-four children. Whether he will
tell all he knows, or remain silent IL
disputed. Doubtless, no person liy-
ing is more familiar with the facts Of
that terrible occurrence than he is.
