montenegro In the Late War.

What a plucky little State may do
against apparently overwhelming odds
in acountry adapted for defense is shown
in the summing mp by the Deutsche
Heeres-Mitung, of the great part played
by the little State of Montenegro in the
recent war. Her campaign began on
July LIST, 1876, and ended February LIST,
1878. Thirty thousand Montenegrins,
Herzecovinians and Albanians fought
against $50, 900 Turks. The Montene-
erins were victors in twelve battles, ten
actions, seventeen larger and thlrty-two
smaller encounters. In two smaller
fights lat Bishina and Anamaliti) they
were beaten, while in two others Cat
Goransko and Nozdren) they had to
retire before overwhelming numbers;
The Montenegrins took twenty-five field
and mountain guns, 107 siege guns, an
army standard, o ships flag, sixteen
flags of fortresses, 112 battalion colors.
1900 horses, So, 900 rifles and 1851
prisoners. They captured three large
and twelve smaller fortresses, eighteen
forts, thirty-nine kules and block-housess
and ten redoubts. This brilliant result
was obtained with a loss Of 1855 dead
and 6,4s5 wounded. The Turks lost il
the M~ontenegrin campaign, besides the
10, 671 prisoners mentioned, $3.50
dead, AZ, 440 wounded, and about $4,000
victims to disease, deserters and miss
ing, as we'll as $500 horses and mules.
80, 600 cattle, and four men-of-war.

The Grown Diamonds of France.

The exhibition of these jewels in the
Champ de Mars has drawn attention to
a curious episodein their history. In l792
the Constituent Assembly, ordered al IN
ventory to be made of them, and that task
had hardly been completed when, on the
night of the 18th of August, they all dis
appeared. Forty thieves, actingin unison
monoped to escalade the house in the
Place Louis XIV, in which the gems
we're deposited, and effected an entrance
by breaking in the window, and carried
them all off. Although SO many men
were engaged in the enterprise only two
we're caught, but the diamonds could
not be found. At that moment a man
named Lameiville, q hair-dresser, was
in the prison of the Conciergerie under
sentence OF death for coming, but he
made his escape. a few daps afterward
he called upon Sergt. Marceau, q munic-
ipal officer, who had rendered him some
service while in prison, and told the
policemen that while i'll confinement he
had heard the men talking, and had dis
covered the hiding place of the precious
objects, viz: in the hollows OF two large
beams in the garnet in q certain street.
The sergeant went himself to search, and
recovered the whole them, the Regent,
the Sancy, etc. AS for Lamieville, he
was sent away from Paris for security.
Potion. the mayor Of the capital, recon-.
mended him to the minister Of war, and
he was made an officer in a regiment OF
the line. According to the inventory,
drawn up in the reign of Louis XVIII,
the Jewels were more than $4,000 in
number, weighing 18, ISL %carats, and
were estimated to be worth "a, $50, 052.

There Is q long list of these quaint

Trees UDOu Stills.

Did you ever hear of trees upon stills?
In Guiana and Brazil are found the i'm
mense forests which supply the whole
world with nearly all the dye-woods in
use and the most beautiful timbers for
cabinet work. Between these great
forests and the open ocean stretch vast
swamps, which at low tide are only
marshy, but at high tide are covered
with several feet of water. In these
swamps grow immense quantities of
mangroves, their dense foliage seeming
to float on the surface of the water when
the tide is in, but when it is out the
branches present the appearance of
growing out Of the sides of PROSTATE
trunks of trees, which ara supported
upon immense crooked stills. These
stills are the bare roots, Which are
obliged to seek the deep, rich mud for
n%ourishment, at the same time that they
must support the trunk and branches at
such a height that the tide cannot affect
them. The mangrove swamps are the
haunts of many curious creatures which
are here almost perfectly safe from pur-
suit, for the tangled masses OF roots are
q mere effectual defense than the strong
est wallis.

Chronological History Of Tobacco.

l496-Romanus Pane, a Spanish monk,
whom Columbus on his second voyage
left in America, published the first &C
count of tobacco under the name OF
"Cohoba."
1525-The negroes on the plantations
in the West Indies began to use it.
1559-Jean Nicot, envoy from France
to Portugal, sent some Of the seeds to
Paris, and from him it acquired the

who was very fond of it. 1t was also
called her6e de. ST. Croir, from Cardinal
st. Croix, who first Introduced it into
Italy.
157O-At this date in Holland tobacco
was smoked in conical tubes made of
palm leaves plated together.
1575-First appeared a print of the
plant in Andrew Thevet's Cosmographic.
15S5--The English first saw the Indi-
ans of Virginia use clay pipes, from
which time they began to be used In

Some Facts to Remember About the Sun.

The sun is 800, 900 times as large as
this earth.
The sun is 400 times as far off as the
moon.
A lady who weigs 100 pounds here
would weigh,,2, 700 pounds if on the sur
face Of the sun.
The heat given off by the sun would
melt 2S7, 200,0 600 cubic miles OF ice
every second.
The diameter of the earth bears the
same relation to its distance from the
sun as the breadth of q hair to 1875 feet.
A railroad train travelling without
stops at the rate of forty miles an hour
would get to the sun in 263 years.
The sun is believed to become some
$50 feet smaller every year.
This contraction would be sufficient to
generate the enormous quantity of heat
which it radiates.
Another theory is that comets and
meteoric matter falling into thesun may
be it's ailment to offset the tremendous
loss which combustion certainly in
wolves. .
n would require the combustion of
thirty feet of coal over the entire surface
of the sun every second to generate the
same heat.
The stars are supposed to average
larger than our sun and to have planetary
systems like his.
The nearest star is 250, 900 times as far
off as our sur
It takes light eight minutes to come
from the sun, but it must have required
! so, 1000 years to come from the farthest
visible stars.

sun occur, the magnetic needle on the

The earth is flying around the Il at
the rate of 1000 miles a minute.
The sun and all the stars are moving
through space, accompanied by their
planetary systems, at q rate varying
from twenty to 100 miles a second.
Some of the spots (craters) are
100. 900 miles in diameter, and one of
them would easily swallow up the whole
of the planets, Jupiter himself only
making q mouthful.

Daring Wall Street Spectators.

The fascination of the stock exchange,
writes q New York correspondent, is
constantly leading men to abandon regu-
lar business in order. to improve the
rapid way of getting rich. This class
cannot be made to understand that
whatever is cleared in Wall street is at
the equal loss of another. That there is
a retribution of very certain character
following in tho track OF Wall street
stock jobbers is a permanent feature In
the history of the street. This is shown
by the fact that the very sharpest men
eventually prove the worst bitten. The
most brilliant gains, indeed, turn to loss
in the moment when hope is looking for
its fruition. Perhaps the saddest of all
histories of which New York is capable
might be included in the narrow precinct
of the stock exchange. Among the
more recent names on the list OF lame
ducks" is that of 81. J. Fowler, who has
been one of the most active operators OF
the present day. For six years he has
been alternating amid tremendous
fluctuations. At one time he had a long
run of success, and was close on to the
dignity of O millionaire. Then luck
took a change, and he began to lose.
He could not stop, however, for this is
hardly possible. The infatuation OF the
Speculation forbids it as long as a dollar
is lett. Fowler was the slave of that
habit which he had created, and the
bondage never ceased until his whole
capital was gone. Probably if he had
enough to try another chance, he would
again be found in the specializing crowd.
Another instance is found in Alden B.
Stockwell, who, for a time, made a pow
erful sensation in Wall street. Hooper.
ated boldly in Pacific mail and other
fancies, and was at the same time q
principal agent in the sale OF sewing
machine stock. He pursued the usua!
career of q Wall street Spectator unit!
every dollar he could raise was lost, and
recently his assets have been sold al
auction for the benefit Of his creditors
The list illustrates the usual style
Twenty thousand shares of fancy stock
of various names and schemes, sold in
different lots for an aggregate of $32
which, small as it may seem, is more
! than they are worth.
