THE recent resumption of work on

THE recent resumption of work on the
Washington monument brings to the
mind of an exchange the disposition of
a stone that was designed for place in
the structure. The American Minister
told Pope Plus TX. that it was proposed
to insert monoliths from the various
States and nations, and the Pope sent
one to America. It reached Washington
in 1854. when the Know Nothing excite
ment was at its height, and the young
men of Washington resolved that the
Romish contribution should not make a
part of the monument. They therefore
gathered together at night, Clipped off
a few pieces of the stone for relics, took
it to the middle of the Potomac and
dropped it in.

THE Tramp bill, just passed by the
New Hampshire House, provides that
anybody except a blind person, female
or minor under II, who shall go about from
place to place soliciting charity, shall be
deemed tramp, and sent to the State
prison for not more than fifteen months
at hard labor; any tramp that enters a
dwelling, builds fire on the highway
or on land without permission of the
owner, or carries dangerous weapon or
threatens violence, shall go to the State
prison for not more than two years, and,
if he willfully INJURIES any property or
person, he may be sent there for five
years. Every town must appoint special
constables to attend to tramps, but any
person can arrest them and get $40
apiece for the tramps convicted.

COMMISSIONS are given in the English
army upon competitive examinations in
which the maximum standard attainable
in military and other studies is 1000
marks 1t is now proposed to make the
maximum 5000, and allow 1000 marks
for excellence in physical vigor, to be
determined by test in any three of the
following exercises-walking, running,
riding, swimming, leaping and gym
nastics. The London Spectator regards
the proposition with pure amazement,"
and calls it "handicappihg intellect. !"
1t is alleged by the Liberals generally
that it is device for promoting stupid
but stout and "cordy" young Tories
who much prefer field sports to the
manual of military science. AS it is
only required to get one-half of the
maximum to pass, an athletic young
fellow gets 1900 by his muscle, and
only needs 1, 400 more on his studies, or
one. third the intellectual requirement.
The Spectator claims that what the
British officer most lacks is not physical
vigor, or courage, but fertility and adapt
ability of resources.

DIR. MARY WALKER, of Washington
City, was picked up in New York the
other night by a policeman and taken to
the police station. 1t was the doctors
queer suit that got her into trouble,
which consists of something like cross
between the dress of Zouave, mans
suit, and the outfit of picnicker. It
was gray in color, her hat was brown
straw, and her CATERS sported many
buttons. She wore fimsy brown neck
tie, tied in a bow, and carried an UNI
brella and stout walking When
spoken to by the policeman, she "jawed
back" as is her usual custom and the
custom of her sex, and he, never having
heard Of DIR. Mary Walker, thought it to
be his duty to arrest the mixed appari-
ton before him and have it authorita-
lively investigated. When in the station
she took off her hat and asked: lido 1

THE German press, in commenting
upon the treaty of Berlin, seem to have
taken their cue from Prince Bismarck's
farewell address to his diplomatic col
leagues. The conviction is expressed in
all quarters that the Berlin treaty is a
partial compromise between antagonistic
interests, which, leaving sundry i'm
portant points unsettled, will lead to
Interior compromise, or else to fresh
hostility in course of time. At the same
time it is felt on all hands that, if the
immense advantages gained by England
are turned to account, the future stages
of the Oriental question are likely to be
marked by fresh victories of Great
Britain. There is but one opinion that
if Turkish army organized, or rather
disorganized, la Turque. very nearly
succeeded in defeating the Russians, an
Ottoman force cooperating with English
troops for the defense of Asia Minor and
the Bosphorus must be crowned with
success. Meanwhile it is hoped that an
impetus may be given to Levantine in
dustry and trade by recent remodelings
sufficiently to strengthen the Ottoman
empire, to retard war, and, perhaps, to
cause future arrangements to be effected
in peace

VoTINa the freedom of the city in En-
gland is regarded as one of the most
signal of honors, and it formed one of
the most important incidents in the
grand municipal reception recently
given to Lords Beaconsfield and Sails
bury. II is looked upon as the highest
compliment that the city of London can
bestow upon any one. 1t is conferred
by that part of the British metropolis
called "The City," which has its own
municipal government and is under the
jurisdiction of the Lord Mayor. The
ceremony is impressive, and in accord
with the ancient usage. In the first
place the corporation tenders the priv
ilege, and invites the person on whom it
is to be conferred to appear before the
City Chamberlain and receive his formal
permission. The future freeman's name,
and those OF civic officials who vouch for
his worthiness, are next recorded in q
book reserved for the purpose. The
Chamberlain then administers an oath
of fidelity, and gives the freeman gold
box containing parchment document
vouching for his citizenship. Among
the distinguished persons who have been
invested with civic freedom were Gen.
Butcher, Napoleon Ill, and the late
Sultan Abdul Aziz. Last year the honor
was conferred on ex-President Grant.

REV. DIR. s. I. PRIME, the veteran
"Iren@us" of the New York Observer,
offers some valuable testimony on the
subject of intoxication in wine-drinking
countries. He is veteran traveller, and
has recently spent ten months on the
continent, in which he has supplemented
the cursory observations of the ordinary
tourist by special investigation of the
drinking habits, through visiting fairs,
reviews, out-of door shows, and all such
gatherings, as well as taking an occa-
sional look into the drinking places
themselves. The result Of it was that
in these ten months, during which he
visited the chief cities of France, Ger
many and Italy, he saw just one person
drunk. Pursuing his investigation still
further, he made it a daily practice to
read the police reports in the local
papers, and found his impressions con-
firmed, one city of $4,000 inhabitants
not reporting single arrest for intoxi-
cation in forty days. "Iren@us there
fore feels no hesitation in declaring his
conviction that drunk enness is "far,
very far" from being 80 common in
those wine-drinking countries as in
Northern Europe and the United States.

Facts to be Remembered About the Sun

The sun is 800, 900 times as large as
this earth.
The san is 400 times as far off as the
moon.
A lady who weighs 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 287, 200, 900 cubic miles of ice every
second.
The diameter of the earth bears the
same relation to it's distance from the
sun as the breadth of hair to 125 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 the sun may
be it's aliment to offset the tremendous
loss which combustion certaily involves.
It 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 plan
etary systems like his.
The nearest star is $50, 900 times as far
off as our sun.
1t takes light eight minutes to come
from the sun, but it must have required
80, 900 years to come from the farthest
visible stars.
When the eleven-year storms on the
sun occur, the magnetic needle on the
earth is variable and sometimes consid-
erably DETECTED.
The earth is flying around the sun al
the rate of 1000 miles minute.
The sun and all the stars are moving
through space, accompanied by their
planetary systems, at rate varying from
twenty to 200 miles second.
Some of the sun 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 a mouthful.
Maedler's curious and brilliant specu
lation is that the star hlcyone is the
central sun of our universe, and tina
our sun and the visible stars are swing
ing around it in orbits measured by
millions of years.

The story is told of some of the wise
men of the Eastern States, that they wrote
to Fort Worth, Texas, asking the COM
manding officer if accommodations could
be furnished for four astronomers who
desired to observe the eclipse under fa-
vorable circumstances. They were much
surprised to learn that Fort Worth, in
stead OF being military post, was city
of 10, 600 inhabitants.

The public debt of Europe was divi(

The public debt of Europe was divid-
ed as follows in 1876: France, $4,687,-
921, 400; Prussia, 1929, $685. 75; Italy,
50, 900, 600, 900; Russia, 81 1854, $40, 900 ;
Spain, $3.50, 900, 900; Turkey, $927,-
600, 900; Great Britain, So, 1884, S52, 100.
These are the heaviest debts, and they
bear hardest on Turkey, Italy, Russia
and Spain. While some of these debts
may have slightly decreased in the last
two years, others have greatly increased,
as in the case of Russia and Turkey.

DIpsy and Della.
Della had run away.

Della had run away.
She was little girl 8 years old, who
had been picket out of an orphan asy-
lum by old Mrs. Blidge. Old Mrs.
Blidge lived at the foot of mountain,
close to Enchanted Land, and very
hard mistress she was, as Della soon
found out. She kept her all day pick
ing berries, and then locked her up lest
she should escape, while she Mrs.
Bhdge) trudged off to sell them mt the
nearest village. Sometimes she fed
Della, and sometimes she forgot to feed
her, until Della grew thin and lean;
and, as for clothes, any old rag was
good enough for her.
One day Mrs. Blidge sent Della out
to draw water at the well, and, by some
mistake the chain slipped off the cylin-
der, and down went the bucket crash
into the well. So Della took the tin dip
per and threw it after the bucket.

"Pn never touch you morep %
And away she trudged up the mount
ain to seek her fortune.
Pretty soon she met another little
girl, picking blueberries off the bushes,
and eating them as if she was half starved
to death.
Who are ?" said Della.

girl.

asked Della.

"Neither do l." said Della. LETS

Pretty soon they came to a great field
OF blueberry bushes, where pail stood

Dipsy, however, only made face in
return, and, sitting down, began to
gobble up the berries as fast as she
could.
All of sudden tall old woman, with
a curious peaked cap, and nose and
chin that almost touched each other
seemed to rise up before them out of the
very middle of huge cluster of blueber
ny bushes.
"WLo's eating my berries ?" said she
in shrill voice.
Dipsy put her blue-stained fingers be
hind her.

ding her head toward Della.
The old woman looked sharply from
one to another, but she did not say any
thing.
