The Omniscient Emperor.

Dom Pedro is still keeping up his
reputation as practical exemplifcation
of perpetual motion. The other day he
arrived at Belfast, Ireland, by steamer
at four a. M, and with as little delay as
possible started for the Giants Cause
way. He had to ride seven miles in a
carriage on reaching Portsmouth, the
railroad terminus, and as many back.
He was again in Belfast by two p. M,
and left for Dublin, where he arrived
for supper. He was up at five next
morning, assembled the Nelson pillar,
visited half dozen different institu-
tions and points of interest, and at six
in the evening started for Killarney. On
reaching the station he found he had ten
minutes to spare and at once inquired
whether there was anything he could
see in that time. A neighboring hospital
was pointed out, which he succeeded in
doing" before the train left. His
thirst for information and rapidity of
movement are remarkable enough, but if
the reports of the condition of his
dominions are true he had better bring
his sightseeing to a close. The debt of
the empire is said to be equal to its
revenues for seven and half years, and
its taxes are raised with difficulty. There
is an ample field for the exercise of its
sovereign's wisdom.

AN elderly kleptomaniac, was detec-
ted in San Francisco in the act of pur-
loining books. After his arrest his room
was searched. "There are about two
hundred books taken from bookstores,
large stacks of writing paper of all de-
scriptions, boxes of envelopes, bottles of
cologne, vest patterns, handkerchiefs,
corkscrews, leather taken from boot
stores, uppers ready to be manufactured,
two or three large boxes of common
laundry soap, dozen quart bottles of
ink and multitude of other articles of
every description" He is graduate OF
the University of Michigan CT the class
of 1845.

A THREATENED TAX ON FLOUR.
A threatened tax on -four of very
curious kind has come to light. There
is a process called high grinding in use
in most of the -four mills in the coun-
try, which is said to be essential to the
best results in reducing wheat to flour.
1t has long been in use in Europe, and
was introduced here in 1871, and the
machinery in use in all the great mills
is adapted to it. A ring of spectators
in Washington is said to have got hold
of an old patent on the process, quietly
had it reissued, got up case In which
the defendant was man of straw, car
ried it into the Supreme Court without
any defense having been made, and got
decision in support of its validity.
New suits have been brought for in
fringements against the leading flour
manufacturers of the country, includ-
ing the Jewels, of Brooklyn, the Hax-
alls, of Richmond, and G. G. Washburn,
of Minneapolis, and the holders of the
patent propose to grant licenses o-mil-
lers for the modest sum of six thousand
dollars for each run of stone. This
would impose a. tax of thirty-six mil
lions of dollars on the -four business of
the country, which would, of course,
come out of the consumers in the end.
Is is unnecessary to say that vigorous
fight will be made against this imposi-
ton, and special act of Congress can
ceiling the patent will be asked foE

THE pastor of one of the fashionable
churches of Detroit is a poet. For
years he has had small clock in con-
venient place under the reading desk by
which he could note the hour without
losing time by taking out his watch.
The clock was lost some time ago alld
the pastor, who missed it very much,
sent to one of his favorite parishoners
the following note on postal card:
Your pastor very meekly suggests
Without venturing any decided behests
That time-piece to the pulpit annexed
May keep the people from being vexed
By sermons that run to excessive length
And tax the popular patience and strength.
Perhaps an hoT-glass might do as well
BY which the passage of time to tell
With beadle to tap with his gentle rod
| Not only the hearer who ventures to nod,
| But the preacher whose words continue to run
When the sand in the glass says he ought to be
| done.

SPECIMENS of silver ore recently taken
form the Cerro de Pasco silver mines in
Peru show that the submerged portion
of the mine is very rich, and rough es-
innate shows that body of ore will be
exposed by the new tunnel which Henry
Meiggs is to build, worth from $500, ,0O0,-
600, to 5000, 100000. These mines have
lain Under water for fifty years, and are
Scarcely known to the present generation,
though they had been worked for two
hundred and fifty years, when the mines
had to stop on account of the water.
Peru has now discovered that tunnel
can be builtwhich will drain the mount
ain completely, by draining off the lake
from which the water in the mine comes,
and she is so much in earnest about it
that the first loads of the new submerged
ore are expected to reach Lima in four
months. 1t is predicted that within ten
years more silver will be taken out than
from the silver mines of Nevada.

ACCORDING 10 the Almanach de
Gotha, the number of towns in the
world which contain one hundred thou
sand inhabitants or more, amounts to
one hundred and ninety-six. Of these,
forty-eight are in the British Empire,
fifteen in Germany, nine in France,
seven in Russia and fifteen in the
United States. The cities containing a
million inhabitants or more, are reck-
oned at nine in number, London, of
course, leading the way, Paris coming
second, and New York plus Brooklyn,
third. Berlin is fourth and Vienna
fifth on the list, each of those capitals
having rather more than million of
inhabitants. Four Chinese cities-Can-
ton, Siangtan (Hounan), Siangfou
(Chensi) and Tchautcheoufou (Foukian)
complete the list of the millionaire
cities, if the expression may be per-
mitted. Pekin, by the way, which our
fathers credited with population of
four million, is now understood to have
about five hundred thousand inhab-
itants.

HAPPINESS rs NOT IMAeINARY.--It is real.
For example, what is the happiness Of an Or
binary mortal compared with that of news
paper editor when he receives u cord Of man
uscripts which the writer's couldn't read if
their lives depended on it? Your ordinary
cheap enjoyment is fraud, greater than
g that first triumphant in American history3'
and when it comes to reading over these con-
tributions .'by copy" you ought to SEQ the
editor in his sanctum, tie foreman In rage,
and the devil in his den--provided you enjoy
scenes of quiet felicity The only circnm-
stance that could possibly add to the joys of
the situation is to BIO informed, long after the
contribution had been forgotten, that the
word craft in the ninety third line, should
have been printed s'tar-heel," and was so
written by tho author, and that the name of
Muggins has been disgraced by appearing in
print as Heliogabalus.

PROPHECY RESPECTING THE END OF THE
WoRLD.-A London letter says Prophets
are going about casting the horoscope Of the
Empires. At Manchester this week Rev. M .
Baxter expounded and interpreted the proph-
eeies in the books of Daniel and Zachariah
The 14th chapter of zacharat refers, no said
TO the coming Of Christ who will shortly APP
pear bodily on the Mount of Olivct and com
mence his thousand years reign upon earth.
Antichrist would be man like jerome Ma
poleon, who on promise Of peace will rise UP
from nobody into great king, the monarch
referred to in Daniel ii, IS. The abomination
Of this rule will only last three years and o
half In that time he will conquer the world
and make seven years covenant with the
Jews. When half that period is at an end
the great Antichrist is to surround Jerusalem
and then will ensue the battle of Arniaged-
don, and it will take seven months to clear a.
way the mountains of dead bodies that will
be heaped up in the conflict. Armageddon
viii be the Sedan of Antichrist. 1t Is quite
possible that Prince Jerome Napoleon will be
Antichrst. The young Princc at Chiselhurst
is to come to tho French Throne under Ultra
montana influences, and he will festore the
Napoeonc Dynasty. Out Of the present war
and q coming war between France and Ger
many will arise the ten Kingdoms which form
cd Caesar Augustus Roman Empire. 1t is
then that the great Antichrist will appear
the little horn--the sovereign of some little
State either in Turkey or Syria. n Cardinal
Lucien Bonaparte becomes the next Pope
(Which Rev. Mr.. Baxter believes is settled),
that event win hasten and bring to pass the
immediate development OF these prophecies.
They will certainly be realized within the
next few years, as Christ Is almost due, when
$4,000 Christians win be translated, and
there will be moro conversions to the truth in
one generation than have been made ia 5000
years. II is curious that these prophets, (who
by the way are believed by vast bodies of En-
glish reigionistsb generally leave America
ont Of their calculations but no doubt there
are prophets in the United States who get
even by emitting Europe from their piedic-
lions. Whatever we may think of this
preaching and prophesying, it is quite phe-
fomenal, taken in connection with the wars
and rllinors Of wars, the wonders in tho heay-
ems, the marvellous inventions Of men, the
strange discoveries, and all the extraordi-
nary awakenings, wonders, and horrors Of the
day In which we live.

The friend that is the hardest to forgive Is
be who feels 1t to be his duty to be your faith
fnl critic, and tell You Of all your faults. He
uses no Judgment about the matter. His eyes
are always open and staring, and his tongue Il
always moving. He sees something odd about
your dress, something awkward in your tnan-
ners, something ungrammatcal in your
Speech and you wonder what there Is about
you that he likes. He is worse than an ac-
cusing conscience, and III your loftiest tone
you call him to order. Pardon ME for my
criticisms, he says, " for they are well inten-
toned, and faithful are the wounds of a
friend" What can you do but pardon him

boy with d small tin pail in his hand. 1t was
full of grated horse-radsh and he wanted her

It is astonishing how fruitful Of improves
ment short season becomes, when eagerly
seized and faithfully used. II has often been
observed that they who have most time at
their disposal profit least By It. A single hour
in the day, steadily given to the study Of an
interesting subject, brings unexpected aecutn-
ulations Of knowledge. The affections, 1t is
said, sometimes crowd years into moments.
and the intellect has something Of the same

weary wanderers What sweet "reminiscences
they bring to the lonely and homeless
