Queen victoria's Wealth.

viii ihgs hstaa aQaqssa IS aXgist9rs leaves behind her
sovereigns are not proved, but those who
have carefully considered the subject are
of the opinion that she must, since Prince
Consort's death, have saved at the very
least e10o, 600 year. Not only has she
lived SO quietly that a large portion of her
e3s5, 900 year public income must be sa-
we'd, but it is to be remembered that Mr..
Nield left her $500, coo, which at four per
cent. year would give 100000, and she
receives Gas, COO from her Ducby of Lam
caster. The crown lands, given up to the
country IN lieu of parliamentary annual
grant. hare oflate years been SO ably and
economically managed, that their revenue
covers the royal allowance, and these crown
lands were as much tie property of the
sovereign as the lands of the Duke of Dew
onshire, or any otl er landhoIder, are his.
IF the country chose to make the most Of
these lands by cutting up, say, the New
Forrest, and selling it in lots, and adopt
ing a similar plan with other outlying pos
sessions of the crown, it would make money
ont of the royal family. The revenue OF
the Duchy of Cornwallls has risen from
ese, 600 in 1924 to e75,oOo, and increases
annually about $4,000, SO that the next
Prince of Wales win probably be independ-
ent of parliamentary grant. Queen Vic
toria is probably saving with a view to
rendering her family as independent as the
wealth of the Duke de Penthievre rendered
the House of Orleans, and made Louis
PHILIPPE, in consequence, the cheapest Of
French Kings Washington Capital.

A TIMELY HINT TO MR.. B. YOUNG.
Halt, Brigham! You've scolded and stormed like q
herridan,
Have threatened Grant, Uncle Sam, Sherman and
Sheridan;
Have dealt in picturesque sort of profanity,
Although they have treated your harem with lenity;
Although they have spared your lasciuous notions
Your weddings 'oh color " and grotesque devotons
Although, when yon sealed new rural or city
mate,
They let you pretend that the bond legitimate;
Till now, with proud mien and plea somewhat
slender, .
With voice like hag of the feminine gender
With words in falsetto and gestures quite frantic.
You rush to the front to mop back the Atlantic.
In vain With Fates solemn decree you're dieputing
Naught can be more mad than this Mormon Canuting.
Yet now, you would fight to maintain your ascension
Your wives and your foies, your dupes and-your
pension!
Now Brigham, see here turn your flap and listen
A tale with moral-just hearken to this nm:
An Injun-I knew and disked him-moreover,
You remind me of that aboriginal rover
An !njin, all speckled and and tattooed Of visage,
Dehed and resisted the progress of his age.
He wished that the telegraph might be abated,
The railroads advancing ne cordially mated:
So day he picked out bis longest and best rein.
And started to capture the lightning express train!
One end of the lasso he tied round his body,
Then hid in the bushes then swallowed some toddy ;
The rattle of wheels in the distance is humming !;
The desperate, fury-red dragon is coming;
A whistle! rear The little lasso leaps yonder
And hoYers in air like a coied anaconda;

A New Method Of Obtaining Skeletons.

naturallsts to produce skeletons of small
vertebrate animals. A common plan is to
place the animal whose skeleton is desired
over an ants nest. But these skeletons
are generally dirty, and it may be imagined
how much better it would be if the opera
ton could be performed under water. Such
a process has been discovered by French
naturalist He finds that tadpoles are not
exclusively vegetable feeders, but will eat
meat when they can get nothing else. In
deed, few days will suffice to accastom
them to live on flesh without injury to their
voracious appetite. They will then clean
with marvellous exaetness the bodies of
small animals given to them. The discov-
erer of this plan has exhibited excellent
skeletons of three kinds of lizard, three
kinds of snake, two kinds of triton, and
larya of triton, obtained in two hours, the
latter being quite an anatomical toar de
force, considering the extreme softness of
the bones of larvse' of batrachians. The
operators were hundred tadpoles of frogs
(Rana fwsca and agills), The number Of
tadpoles should be proportioned to the task
and the small animals should be given them
skinned. The skeletons should be COM
pleted in two or three days at the most, so
that the water may not destroy the liga-
ments. 1t is recommended that the tad
poles should be kept in half darkness and
in Marm place. - sLst-..- lae-- 3l.a

a WlIe trust q Let 6uspa11.

Boston. May 2S.-Captain Thomas Graz
po. with his wife, sailed to-day from New
| Bedford to London in a schooner boat of
! a62 tons burden, and the shortest boat in
which passage across the Atlantic was
ever attempted. The boat was was built
after the Captains own designs. 1t is 49,
90 feet on deck, 20 feet over all, length of
| keel 13 feet, extreme breadth 7.4S, breadth
inside of ceiling 6 feet, depth SIC feet,
draught of water Is inches, or with centre
board down 2 ] feet. She carries a leg of
mutton mainsail and foresail, hoisting re-
spectively 13 and Is feet, and each 8 feet
| across the foot, and can also hoist a square
sail when running before the wind in d
| light breeze, or a staysail If on the wind.
Her model is something like that of a
| whale-boat, but shorter, wider and deeper,
and with more sheer, and she is entirely
deeked over. She has two hatchways and
the helmsman will sit in the after-hatch.
The boat is SO short that she is expected to
ride over everything easily but heavy
iGbpPAhE COnS WA0AONp ucnAnE AAoNA W1GSi oh
deck. The after-part is in two parts, him
ged together, and the forward half will be
securely fastened down and battened in
rough weather.
Captain Crapo will not attempt to run in
rough weather on the passage, but will lie
to, head to the wind, with drag whenever
heavy seals running. At such times the
fore-hatoh will be closed, and the watch on
deck will be in the after-hatch, prepared to
dack and close the hatch If heavy wave
is coming. The boats stock Of provisions,
water, ETC., will weigh something over t.
500 pounds, in addition to which the boat
will carry 500 pounds OF iron ballast. She
has not made a tlial trip, but if necessary
for adjustment of ballast will call at Vine
yard Haven, Woods Hole or Chatham. AS
fast as her water kegs are emptied they
will be reilled with salt water to keep the
ballast in trim. The provisions are mostly
canned, and the boat carries small kero-
sene stove, which can be used on deck in
good weather, She has two compa sses,
quadrant, a supply of charts, and her med
icine chest consists of 25 vials, and vial of
extract of Golden Seal.
The tight little craft sailed off gaily 5000
people seeing her depart with cheers, and
the yachts in the harbor firing goodbye
guns. Departing from Chatham lights,
Captain Crapo will steer due east to clear
the southern edge of the banks of New
foundland. and avoid the fogs there pre-
vaiiing. and thence make direct course to
the English Channel. He intends to call at
Falmouth on the Cornwall coast, to be re-
ported, and expects to make the run in 40
days. Captain Crapo is 50 years old,
New Bedford boy, who has been sailor 90
years, and is wiry man to look at, and
apparently capable of enduring a great
deal of exposure. Mrs. Grape is an agree
able lady of %, daughter of Frederick
Sriff, of London, and has sea experience
of two and one-half years. She is heal
thy looking woman, slightly above average
proportions, and at the start was as enthu
siastic as her husband in relation to the
voyage.

+" Colonels. "

The Atlanta (Georgia) Constitution con-
tains the following: "We want it dis
tinctly understood, before we proceed any
further, that we are a friend of the colonel
that is to say, we are a friend OF the
colonel if he is not military colonel. A
military colonel has no right to the title.
he may have earned it in the war right in
front of the cannon's mouth, but more
peaceful days have dawned upon us, and
now we have the insurance colonel, he sew
ing machine colonel, the dry goods colonel,
the commission colonel, the grocery colonel,
the newspaper colonel and the lawyer
colonel. You may pick your colonel from
any pile you choose, and we'n stand up
promptly and say we admire him. There
is honor in the title, and we take pleasure
in bestowing it upon friend and foe alike.
To be a man and not be a colonel (uniess,
indeed, you were promoted during the war)
is something preposterous. We can con-
ceiye of no such misfortune as that which
prevents men from becoming a colonel in
their own right. There is no law on the
statute book against it, and if there was it
would be a dead letter. Every county,
every community and every family would
cry out against the injustice of an enact
ment depriving them Of their usual quota
OF colonels. For our part, we think there
ought to be law passed comforting the
title of colonel on every male child over
twelve years Of age without regard to color
or previous condition. In that case all men
would be colonels and the women colonel
esses. Here is the true line of progress,
While colonels are in fashion let us mal
the most of them. Let us utilize them. as
it were, for the purpose of advancing civil
ization. It is idle for men who have no
titles to sneer at those who have. All, no,
let us cling to our colonies. Instead of
wedding them out, let us endeavor to nur-
ture those we have and invite others through
the medium of immigration agents.

A Man Awaiting Trial Twenty Years.

A Lima correspondent says: A curious
instance of. the manner in which justice is
exercised in the interior of Peru is the
following: Exactly twenty years ago a
poor lndiani in Ayacucho, crazed with drink,
killed another man in street fight. Ac-
cording to law the penalty for such crime
is hard labor on one of the guano islands
for five years. The offender was immedi.
ately seized and committed to prison where
he has been confined ever since-twenty
years-until three weeks ago, when his
case was called in the court for trial. Then
he was sentenced to the five years hard
labor! When the President heard of this
extraordinary abuse he called for all the
papers Of the case, and has submitted it to
the attorney general. The Indian can at
best get off bis five years servitude after
twenty years patient waiting for the, solace.

w Out in the country we have the Mexican
peBeteastes, whose nominal Christianity has
only served to determine the time al d
manner of their penances. Last week. re-
turning from saguache, tried a short cut,
and riding over little hill, came suddenly
npon band Of four. Naked, except for a
pair of drawers, they were walking bare
footed through the snow, chanting some
melancholy strain, lashing their bare bod
les with strips Of soapweed leaves. 1t is
no poetical .exaggeration, but the literal
fact, that the blood was flowing rapidly
down them. Their bodies looked like raw
steaks, and the heavy sound of the lashes
told of the reality Of the fagellation. Some
little distance from them stood large
wooden cross, which, / was told, had been
carried in procession by one last year. Its
weight must nearly have broken his back.
Upon it they crucified one of their number
last spring, binding him fast by ropes, and
leavi ,g him so long that he died.

Cannon drive numbering over the heath:
Bustle and stir from the east to the west;

Men steel their hearts mid the clangor of arms;
Spades turn from tillage to dig and intrench,
And beauty TO glory surrenders its charms
At the blast OF the bugle- the bugle of war!
Hark It's the bugle-the bugle of peace!
Sounds DER the battle-feld-over the slain,
Hushes the strife, bids artillery cease.
Thrills through the dying stretched out ON the

Hark! how the call rings o'er valley and hill;
Light biyouac hres-weary warriors, rest!
Up, tender-eyed Pity, to save not to KILL
Go forth on thy errand, the blessing and blest -
Softly. white snow weayes shroud for the dead,

And Mercy can breathe, now the battle is done. .

Tho current that flows away from the past
is unmistakable. Sabbath committees,

to stopa current of public thought with

church is wise it will study the Lords day
of the future rather than the Sabbath of

of the past century-and seek to guide the

Columbus was evidently person who
liked to sail about, and didn't care much for
consequences. Perhaps it is question
whether he did good thing in first coming
over here. The Indians never thanked
him, and he led Spain into dance of great
expectation which ended in her gorgeous
ruin. He introduced tobacco into Europe,
and laid the foundation for more tracts and
nervous diseases than the Romans had in a
thousand years. He made voyages on the
Atlantic popular, and is responsible for
much of the delusion concerning it. One
learned to respect this ocean but not to love
it,and leaves it with mingled feelings about
Columbus. And yet he was we'll mean
ing man; and if he did not discover per-
I feet continent, he found the only one that
was left.
