Thc Queen of England and Her Family.

Appropriate to the fifty-seventh anniver-
sary of Queen Victoria's birth the London
Obser0er remarks that there has, probably,
never been a sovereign of England who
could look around upon so numerous circle
of descendants as her ma jesty." Since tie
Prince Consort died only three deaths have
occurred in the British Royal family, and
two of these have been of children in the
earliest stages of infancy, namely, the third
child of the Prince Of Wales, who was born
on the 9Th and died on the 9Th of April, 1871,
and the child of the Princess Christian, who
died on the Goth of last April, aged only
eight days. The other death, that of the
second con of the Princess Alice of Hesse,
was the result of an accident The O6serpep
speculates in this wise
1.-THE eldest child of the Crown Princess
of Germany Uhe Princess Royal of England)
is now seventeen years of age Her majesty
is fifty seven. If her eldest grandchild were
to marry within the next year and have a
child in the ordinary course, that child might
arrive at manhood, and have children within
the next twenty years, thus making her
ma jesty great eat-grandmothe before
she reached eighty years of age. We do not
say this is probable, but it is by no means
impossible, especially as the children OF the
Queen have, unlike those of George the
Fourth, all made early marriages and it is
likely their children will follow their ex-
annie"

What Is to Be Done for q Man who il
Frustrated by the Heat.
From the Philadelphia Times ]


AS it is we'll to know what course to pur.
sue when case of sunstroke is met with on
the sidewalk, Times reporter obtained
yesterday the advise of one of the city's most
prominent physicians upon this subject. If
the case is not serious one (the definition OF
which will be given) the only course neces-
sary is the opening of all ligatures about the
person, tanning the faceand breast and the
administering of some light stimulant, such
as sherry wine This relief will prevent the
more serious growth of the disorder until a
physician can be summoned. In serious
casc-i. c, where the face is flushed and the
condition of breathing indicates congestion
of the brain-no stimulent should be given
at all. With all possible expedition the
patient should be removed to the nearest
shady place, allowed plenty of fresh air and
should be bathed well on the top of the head
and around the neck with cold water. No
time should be lost in the calling Of a good
doctor, as it is frequently necessary in cases
of this character to have the patient bled.
As San ounce of prevention. however, is
worth pound of cure" it may be well for
people to know that to guard against sun
stroke it is necessary to keep as much as pos
sible in the shade, not to overhead the body
by muscular exertion, and to refrain from
the frequent indulgence in ice water. The
occasional gargling Of the throat will inva1ia-
bly, slake thirst and prevent the overlooking
Of the stomach.

A Scene in the SierraS.

A ten-mule team, drawing lumber while
coming from the vicinity of the lake this
morning, went over the grade near the head
of Kings Canyon. The driver sprang from
the saddle, thereby saving his life. He then
stood still, horriied and speechless witness
to one of the most terrible scenes possible to
imagine. The mules and wagon and lumber
pitched downward in one confused rolling
mass, nearly 1900 feet into the bottom of the
gorge. wild cries from the crushed and mang-
led animals rending the air as they were
hurled madly down the steep mountain side,
until when near the bottom and life became
extinct, the agonizing sounds ceased and all
became silent in death The man says that
after the first 100 feet had been passed the
entire mass became hidden in a great cloud
of snow torn up and scattered through the
air, but that he could hear all sounds proceed
ing from the white cloud as it rolled swiftly
onward until it struck the bottom of the can
yon with a crash like that of an earthquake.

THE workmen employed by Capt. Eads on
the Mississippi river jetties live in huts in a
cane-brake swamp, and every rise of the tide
covers the ground with water. They also
endure the bites of the unusually big musqui-
toes and the proximity of aligators. The
streets of Port Eads, as the village is called,
are planks laid on posts. The jetties are built
of willow mating alternated by layers of
stones. The willows are obtained on an island
near by, the supply being equal to the i'm
mense demand. On the back of the island is
sloping platform upon which mats are made
by laying the willows crosswise and length
wise, until the mass is thirty inches thick.
Strips of wood firmly bolted hold the mat
together after it is pressed compactly. Then
it is launched, towed to the spot where it is
to he used, attached to guide posts, and piled
with stones until it sinks. Each mat is hum
dred feet long, and from fifteen to fifty feet
wide according to the place 1t is made to oc-
cupy in the tapering jetty.

An Ol0.liIne Girl.

We saw her on Fourth street yesterday.
She wore neatly-ftting, plainly-cut and
modestly- trimmed calico dress. Her modest
face beamed with youth and beauty baneath
the graceful folds of a gauzy green veil, and
her rosy cheeks shone through it like pair
of large cherries. She didn't carry one-half
of her dress in her hand high up to crafty
the vulgar gaze of blackguarks or to draw
forth ludicrous and ungentlemanly remarks
of corner loafers. Nor was she pinned back
so tight she couldn't step, and her heels
didn't kick her tiller as high as the small Of
her back. She didn't walk like mule with
a loose set of harness on and flies bad. No
she wasn't dressed in style calculated to
attract the attention of any but true gentle
men, and of these she commanded the ut
most respect, and it was paid her by all who,
in meeting, admired her. Louisville Courier

sits on the little tilt-up perch behind her is
clothed in sombre black and with a still more
sombre white tie. He folds bis arms across

gravity, regards the back OF his mistress

George A. Clusters was one Of the fine,
youthful careers openedin this country to the
military by the civil war. Shot out OF West
Point, so to speak, and precipitated into the
army, he was presently in the midst of a
theatre of bloodshed and exploit such as the
world has not known since the fall of Ma
poleon. Passing through this war with his
health and personal beauty unaffected, he
died at last in the blank land dimly described
by Bonneville in 1882, and that description
given to the world by Irving. A third of u
century lapsed between these two careers,
and Custer like Bonneville, was literary
reader and writer. Both were West Pointers.
Bonneville related very much that he did not
know except by report. Custer was the
official discoverer of the Black Hills, and he
explored them. to recite in his enthusiastic
style their flowing streams and novelty OF
woods and arabic slopes. His undismayed
nature was never haunted by the traditions
of the murdered men, wild or savage, who
bad lain in those hills since the Sioux of the
plains sullenly possessed them and made their
fastnesses demoniac.
Custer and HaZen were two young men
who wrote on the life of the frontier from
different temperaments. HaZen was essen
TALLY critic; he saw little or nothing of the
color of rose, and denounced the process of
further extension as the possession of worth
less lands by Indifferent settlers at the pub
lie expense. Custer retained his youthful
American fire, and behcld new possibilities
of adventure, fortune, gold and occupation
in the great interior of the land. The more
impetuous officer has laid down his life for
his vision, and at the early age of 35, like a
Pizarro, surrounded by the bodies of his
family
Crook and Custer have make distinctive
and intrepid figures in the Indian warfare of
the plains. Both were Ohio boys, sent to
West Point, and both, l think, married
Southern bellies, Custer in Kentucky and
Crook in Maryland. The formers style of
warfare was personal; to trail hostile Indians
himself by the aid of equal sinister, but
friendly Indians. Clusters method was the
cavalrymans, to seek, to locate and to
charge, as in the days of the Shenandoah
and the Rapidan campaigns. He was on the
high road to be Brig adier-General, and
General Sheridan, who loved him greatly,
expected to have seen him promoted two
years ago. Clusters implacable relation to
politics may Lave retarded him, for he would
conciliate nobody for the sake of rank.
Positive in his nature, with views and affilia-
tions nobody could shake, he would not let
Sheridan or any other man choose his school
of mentors. He died like an idea as we'll as
q soldier, while towards live on and make
the best of occasions and length Of days.

Three hundred men with thund'ring stride.
Charg'd to the gates Of hell!
Three hundred men this day have died.
Wni'e deaf'ning devils yell
For cold, and stiff, and alone,
Last Of this bloody fray.
Jpon the hills of Little Horn,
He sleeps on crimson clay!
So strong. so proud, that rosy morn,
The Seventh drew its rein;
Ere set of sun. by battle torn,
They all are with the q ain.
There, on eternal hills, they rest.
Two thousand miles away:
No flowers on the soldiers breast.
No shroud but purple clay!
Eternal peace hath settled there,
Upon the soldiers brow;
The bugle's note shall waste on air.
They're deaths and ory's now.
Deep in the tangled wilderness.
One common grave they find;
United in their last distress
They sleep with arms entwind.
There Honor is the last vidctte,
Which guards the gallant dead;
Its blazing star shall never act,
But flame above their head;
No morrow comes with blooming light,
TO toss it's waves on high,
But glory hangs banner bright
Across the loving sky!
There in the 1ux of far-off life,
When tasseled fields of corn,
Shall waving, mark these hills OF strife,
Along the Little Horn.
Then men will tell, what here befell,
These hearts which once were warm.-
With song and feast the story swell,
The fiery fight and storm!

SIlUn Eccentrlcilies.

Avoid as far as possible those weaknesses
which diminish spect for character. This
will be very difficult. Most men have some
great follies about them. The greatest are
not exceptions. Tycho Brahe lost his color
and trembIed at the sight of fox or hare.
DIR. johnson would never enter room with
his left foot foremost. Julius Caesar fled to
the cellars at the sound of thunder Peter
the Great could not be persuaded to cross a
bridge. Marshal SAKE screamed at the sight
of cat. Byron would never help any one
to salt. He would leave the table it any salt
was spilled during the meal A clergyman
of the last generation could not pray with
dying person if cat lay sleeping by the fire.
Another greatly injured his usefulness by al
ways wiping on the tablecloth the knives and
forks before eating. Early in life is the time
to find out and put away our foolish practices.
