democracy in it. Let us keep it so.

washington School Panic.

A late number of the Washington
Star contains the following: About two
o'clock. Yesterday afternoon, another
fearful panic took place at the stevens
school building, on Twenty-hrst street,
between K and L streets, caused by two
colored BOYS maliciously raising the cry
of " fire. in under the windows OF the
building, Just as some of the primary
pupils We're being dismissed for the day.
The excited children, many OF them not
having recovered from the effects of their
fright when the building took tre about
three weeks since, repeated the startling
CRY, and soon there was scene OF coniu-
sion and terror in the building which
baffied description. Theeight hundred
children became uncomfortable. To add
to the excitement, an alarm of fire was
rung. and the engines appeared on the
ground, and, although the firemen and
police did all in their power to ailay the
fears of the children, it was some time
before anything like order was restored.
The teachers generally retained their
selfpossession. but so great was the con-
sternation that they could do but little
with their pupils, some of whom dropped
from the windows, and others were
crowded off the stairways and the porti-
co. Louis Napoleon, boy about thir,
teen years of age, got under the feet oi
the children on the stairs, and before
he was rescued received many bruises
about the body, and his forehead was
cut. William BaDket, another boy,
about twelve years of age, jumped from
a second story window, and broke an
arm and leg. Many Others received
slight injuries.

An Empress Queen.

What is the new title which Queen
Victoria is going to assume? In her
speech at the opening of Parliament
this announcement was made: AT the
time that the direct government OF my
Indian Empire was transferred to the
Crown, no formal addition was made to
the style and title of the Sovereign. L
have deemed the present fitting oppor-
tunity for supplying this omission, and
a bill upon the subject will be presented
to you." On the first day of September,
1858, the power and property of the East
India Company entirely ceased Sby the
act 21 and % Victoria, C. 1O6, which re-
ceived the royal assent on the I'd day OF
August next preceding), and, on Novem-
ber /, 1858, Victoria was proclaimed as
Queen of Crest Britain and the Colonies,
ETC., in the principal places in India, and,
at the same time, Viscount Canning, who
was Governor General under the East
India Company, was sworn in and pro,
claimed as Viceroy of India. Instead OF
representing great commercial organi-
zatien, which had obtained immense
territorial possessions, with concomltant
political power, Lord Canning became
the deputy of his sovereign; hence the
new title of Vice-roy, which, more cor
rectly, perhaps, might have been desig
mated Vice-reine. Ever since, when India
is officially spoken of, it is as the En-
pire of India" If this be correct, it
sovereign, when female, would be al
Empress. We expect that the intention
is that Victoria shall be so entitled here
after.-Philadelphia Press,

Worth Remembering.

Donot laugh at that drunken man reel
ing through the streets. However
ludicrous the sight may be, just pause
and think. He is going home to some
tender heart that will throb with intense
agony; some doting mother, perhaps,
who will grieve over the downfall of her
once sinless boy; or it may be fond
wife, whose heart will almost burst with
grief, as she views the destruction of her
idol /; or maybe loving sister, who will
shed bitter tears over the degradation of
her brother, shorn of his manliness and
selfrespect.
Rather drop a tear in silent sympathy
with those hearts so keenly sensible and
tender, yet so proud and loyal that they
cannot accept sympathy rendered them
either in word, look, or act, although it
might fall upon their crushed and
wounded hearts as refreshingly as the
summer dew upon the whitening plant

Sun.spots and Frigidity.

The astronomers have been noting that
the sun of late has been remarkably free
from spots, and during the period there
has been very warm and spring-like
weather. About two weeks ago, how
ever, the sun was found quite spotted
again, and at the same time the ther-
mometer began to fall. This was the
case not only in this country, butin Eu-
rope, and the Paris correspondent of the
New York Times writes that the weather
suddenly changed there to the coolest,
rawest and most disagreeable weather of
the season. This fact has again given
light to the theory that there is rela-
ton between the sun-spots and the tenn
perature upon this planet. Mr.. Lockyer,
the English astronomer, reported about
the first of January that he found the
sun perfectly free from spots, and in
ferred that it might indicate period of
very mild weather. The very same day
Father Secci made the same observation
in Rome. Neither astronomer asserted
that there would be mild weather on
earth because the sun was spotless, but
both inferred that this might be the case,
and such has been the case in fact. The
difficulty about the theory is to afford
an explanation how the greater heat Of
the sun, presumably indicated by the
absence of the spots, is SO quickly trans.
mitted to the atmosphere of the earth.

Relic Hunters.

Near the eventful battlefield on which
the star of Napoleon went down, Victor
Troyon opened a small tavern. Nat
urally, he was beset by relic hunters for
souvenirs of the battle, but he honestly
answered that he had nothing of the
kind. He was very poor, and he worked
hard to keep his little tavern going.
One day he was complaining to a
neighbor of his poverty, and also of the
annoyance continually put upon him by
relic hunters.
well, why don't you make the source
of annoyance relieve your poverty :"
suggested the friend.
How can / do that?"
"If you have no relics make them.
At Brussels they make plenty of them.
For instance, the next man that asks you
for relic tell him that Napoleon or
Wellington entered your house during
the battle and sat in that chair. Or tell
him that on that table Napoleon wrote
his orders to the different division COM
manders."s
Well, M. Troyon profted by the hint,
and told the next English tourist who
CHANGED that way the chair story, selling
the simple piece of furniture at an i'm
mense price. The table on which Napo-
leon had written at least dozen orders
to his marshals was sold to a tourist from
the south of France for two thousand
francs. By and by M. Troyen called to
mind that he still preserved the glass
from which Wellington drank, and the
Wellington Glass" is still shown the
admiring visitors at a substantial En-
glish residence by the son of the man
who paid fifty pounds for it. Even the
nail on which Napoleon hung his mill
tary coat was pulled out from the wall to
satisfy craving relic hunter. In short
NJ. Troyon kept on until, piece by piece
he had sold the very roof from over his
head; and it is said that more than one
enthusiastic worshiper at the throne o
Waterloo, when there was nothing else tt
be gained for a souvenir, took away {
package of the dirt on which stood The
house in which both Napoleon and Wei
lington had restedl OF course, M
Troyon made quite a fortune by thi
means.

Old Arnor.

The Bainbridge (Ga.) Democrat says:
interesting relics of the past ages that we
ever saw. 1t is nothing more nor less than
portion Of the armor worn by a Spanish
soldier nearly three and half centuries
ago. The part consists of helmet with
visor, and one arm, all being of wrought
iron, one-sixth of an inch thick, and
weighs seventeen pounds. Some idea can
thus be formed of the weight of the en-
tire suit of mail, when we say that the
above constitutes less than one-third of
it. This relic was plowed up by
farmer in Jefferson County, Florida,
about the year 1856. He did not know
what it was, or perhaps he would: have
reclaimed it all-but he only took enough
to use as weights to his lotgate, for
which it answered admirably. Some
years afterward, gentleman passing this
farmers house was struck with the oddity
of the construction of the old iron with
which the gate was weighted, and, upon
examination, found it to be no less than
portion of coat-ofmail He at once
procured the weights or armor from the
farmer, which he carried to Tallahassee,
where considerable interest and attention
were attracted thereto. The gentleman
went to Cuba, where he died, leaving the
relic with the late Attorney General
Galbraith, of Florida. 1t is now in pos
session of Mrs. w. B. Wright, sister of
the Attorney General, who resides eight
miles south of Bainbridge, and it was
through her courtesy that we have had
the pleasure of seeing this no less than
great wonder. The soldier who wore this
armor was, beyond doubt, one of the
followers of Fernando DeSoto, the dis
coverer of the Mississippi, who explored
Florida in the year 1889. The soldier
was probably killed in one of the many
battles which that gallant band had with
the Indians, and was buried with his ar
NOR on, three hundred and sixty years
ago.
