The Tomb Of Charlemagne.

"Grace Greenwood recently made q
pilgrimage to the tomb of Charlemagne.
Leaving the train at Aix-la. Chapelle, on
her way from Brussels to Cologne, she
says: was obliged to call in the aid of
both Church and State-a priest and po-
liceman-before could find the entrance
to the old, old chapel designed and erected
by Charlemagne for his own grand burial
place nearly thousand years ago.
Around this chapel later additions have
been built, and there is a lofty modern
choir, made almost entirely of beautiful
stained glass. But these things had little
interest for me. only felt that the mon
arch of monarchs had stood where I was
standing, planning royalty for his own
sepulcher. only saw on the marble slab
at my feet the brief, great inscription,
'sCarlo Magno." knew he was not rest
ing beneath the slab-that it only marked
the spot where once stood his tomb, which
dread abode" was broken into by Otto
ILL.,, and the great Emperor was found,
not reposing in coffin, but seated in q
throne like chair of white marble, arrayed
in royal robes, crowned, sceptered and
with his familiar pilgrims pouch at his
side. On his knees rested copy of the
Gospels, and at his hand, as though ready
to defend it, was his favorite sword joy
euse. There is something awfully grand
in such an entombment. He had sat
there in silence and in night for nearly
200 years, waiting for the resurrection
which came all too soon. The fragrance
of rare gums and spices used in his partial
embalmment must have tainted in the mold,
and colors of rich silk and the sheen of
gold died out in the darkness, butt seems
to me the sleeping light Of these crown
jewels must have dreamed of the sun and
cast soft, tremulous CLEANS down on the
open pages OF the Word. He should
have been left sitting there in state while
at least his grand chapel shall endure, but
the stone was rolled away from the sepul-
cher, not by angels, but by hungry relic
hunters and saint-mongcrs, and they laid
desecrating and dissecting hands upon
him parted not only his r,liment, but his
skeleton took him to pieces bone by bone,
and have distributed him about among
ministers and monasterics. A dead En-
peror of that quality was too much for q
chapel of this size to have all to itself. 1t
preserves, however, his skull, the dark
ened shell of an extinct star of sovereignty
"a gigantic tibia-the real chair in which
he sat, and which was afterward used at
the coronation of Emperors and the
Parian sarcophagus in which rested his
tired feeta through those 200 years:

What a Cent Might Have Produced.

You have had, of late, considerable to
say in regard to the accumulation OF great
debts and great fortunes. Perhaps it
would not be out of place to add something
about the rapidly with which money in
creases when put at compound interest. I
have seen, since my earliest recollection,
many calculations Of this sort, but moth
ing which exactly meets the case as the
following: 5eat9 IT,.
of, at the birth Of our Saviour, one cent
had been put out at compound interest, it
would, as we all know, have doubled at
the expiration of twelve years. At the end
Of twenty-six years it would have been
four cents-of thirty-s six years, eight
cents. Now, continuing this process, we
find that in 100 years any sum, put out
ut compound interest, will have increased
1000 fold, or the one cent have become
$40. In 100 years more, or A. D. 24O, the
$40, increasing 1000 fold, would have
eqaaled $4,000. Then, for every 100
years we must add three ciphers, or, say,
in the year 600 A. D., the sum would be
ten millions taken one million times, or
enough to give every one Of our 40, OOO, 900
inhabitants q fortune OF . quarter of q
million dollars each. The increase now
becomes stupendous, and to handleit at
all we must take the value in pounds
weight, and finally cubic feet of gold.
Gold is worth in round numbers $500 q
pound. There are about twenty pounds
Of gold to every pound OF water In cubic
foot. A cubic foot of water weighs sixty
five pounds, about: gold consequently

Gard OF Thanks.

The lady managers Of Leath Orphan
Asylum deem it pleasant duty to ex-
press their sincere thanks for the gen.
erous patronage of the public at their
late festival; the success of which was
due no less to the untiring efforts of the
ladies who had charge of the tables,
than to the liberal donators who supplied
them for a week. Not only from churches
represented in the management, but
from all others, has our enterprise re
ceived a kind support. To the business
community al large we particular
thanks for their substantial aid, while as
ever the press has been first, both with
moral as material assistance, to promote
this noble charity.
A fund las been received that will
greatly aid in furnishing the new wing
lately added to the Asylum by the Odd
Fellows, and will be strictly applied to
this purpose.
May all who have assisted the orphans
realize that it is more blessed to give
than to receive.
