The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1878-02-08

When Victor Emanuel was about to be
proclaimed King of Italy, question arose as
to whether he should ht sty led Victor Eman-
uel | as the first If the r,w line or Italian
sovereigns, or Victor Eualurl H., is a
Prince of the ancient hou1' Of Savuv. The
Chamber decided, in de.ercrcc to the rr,ju-
dices of the Piodmont"n.c, that the dynas-
tic anpellaiion he retained. Had the same
rule been followed after the death ct Victor
Emanuel, his successor would be styled
Humbort ". But he IS entitled in the
proclamation "Humbert l.. by the grace OF
God and the will of the nation. King Of
Italy" Iumbert is not a King Of Pied
mont, but of all Italy, and it is proper that
the old dynastic title, suggestive rs it
is of ages gone by, when Italy W., torn by
the jeaIousies of petty lords aud princes
should be gnored--N Y San.

How lie Goes Hunting.

In a recent letter from China we find the
following statement: when the Emperor
of this Kingdom goes out hunting he always
takes out twcnty-fcur umbrellas with him. :.
We suppose the object is to shade bis eyes
when he takes shot, But it appears to us
that man who has to carry twenty-four
umbrellas must be embarrassed when he
handles his gun, and when he sees a squir-
rel, if he does not fire until all his umbrel-
las are raised and ready for ,ction, there is
an imminent probability that the squirrel
would be on the othrr side of the tree There
may be something seductive and fascinating
for them about an umbrella, and If they are
sensible a. a squirrel ought to be, they may
feel an irresistible desire, when they see a
man spreading twenty.inur umbrellas, to
come down and see what kind of a lunatic
he is.

dreadful, after long years of prayer and
struggle, that, hard and as bad as Jenison
Wires was, he could not bear it; it was
the turning point of the boy life; he got
up from his knees and confessed the
whole thing to his uncle, and asked
his MS forggiyness; and the other boys cried
heartily.
Jason Carter never forgot that day;
it was remembered with humility and
thanktulness both; for, years after, Jen-
ison told him, with deep feeling, that he
had learned then and there to res pect
religion, and that is the first step toward
desiring and obtaining it.
Jenison never claimed his bet, but
when he went home gave Dan bis knife
for remembrance; and years after
Deacon Jason Carter was dead and gone
his step-sons recalled with affection, rev.
erence and amusement mingled. the only
oath they ever heard him speak, and how
it was brought about by tensions bet.

self very much pleased at getting the
jewel back again. He laid it tender in
drawer of his toilet table, and then put
ting his hand in his pocket, he pulled
out two cigars, which he offered to the
groom. The honest fellow accepted
them, but went off somewhat discounted
