of his wife, Priocest Of SAKE Wcimar, in
1879, II might have been thought that he
was hardly likely to enter again into the
married state; on this very account his be-
trothal to the daughter of Prince Frederick
Charles Of Prussia has attracted a certain
amount of attention. The Price has reached
the mature age of So, while his affiancod
bride, the Princess Marie, is very little over
age.
William Mccullough Torrens has for
twenty years represented in Parliament the
enormous London parish Of Fillsbuy, con-
tanning nearly million of inhabitants. He
divides his attention into three parts, viz,
his speeches, his boots, and his hat. He
learns the first, he himself polishes the Sec
ond, and as 10 the third--let's see. On
taking off the covering Of his Golgotha he
gazcs fondly thereon, produces silk hand
kerchief specially for the purpose, and for
the space of five minutes fondly rubs the
object of his affection until he produces the
required luminosity, gingcrly places the
plug" on the table and proceeds to action.
Sixty-fve years ago, in Leipsic, was Rich
ard Wagner born. At 8 he played prettily
ON the pianoforte; at 20 he assayed himself
in tragedy wherein he killed all his char
acters in the tirt four acts, and carried il
on in the fifth with their ghosts. At 20 he
married an actress, soon after went to Paris
where nobody would listen 10 his music.
Dresden accepting his Renzi and Flying
Dutchman, he toddles off there, becomes
popular, receives court favor, and is made
Kapellmeister. Tannhauser, his first new
work Of his new kind only reused all men
and critics, and his scores were returned;
then he threw himself into the completion
of Lohegrin as into haven of refuge from
his troubles. In 1855 he finds himself con-

MARSHALL on WILBANKs.

Hon. s. S. Marshall has published in cir

reply to an article defending Mr.. r. A. d.

BY the kindness Of Mr.. d. T. Linegsr We

manifesto. As we have said. il Is ably
written, and in the best Of temper. The
Judge cuts with razor, he never uses the
bludgcon. He starts out by saying that he
has not had anything to do with the fight
against Mr.. Wilbanks; but he adds; Il do
not think that Mr.. Wibanks has any claims
whatever on the Democratic party, or that
il would he wise TO nominate him. He
then denies that the families Of the Mar
shalls and the Wibankses have been at
personal cnmity "Mr. Wilbanks' father,
from the time first met him, when ! was
hut boy, to the day Of his death, was my
personal and political friend" The Judge
used to take pleasure in voting for the
Wilbankscs the Tanners and the Bcnsons
hut they, ungratcful men that they were,
opposed him in 1874 when lac was the
nominee Of the Democratic party for Com
grcss. But this opposition did not make
him angry. In it he found enjoyment. He

INFORMATION FOR AMERICANs.-It
has been reserved for an English states
man, Mr.. Plunkettt, to make the remark
able discovery that the Civil War in the
United States was the result of universal
suffrage. In the course of speech on
the extension Of a franchise, delivered in
the House of Commons on February %,
he said : "The Civil War of 1860, which
Englishmen are apt to talk loosely of as u
war between slave-owners and liberia
tionists, was really a struggle for political
power. 1t was the politicians who raised
that war, and but for them North and
South would have shaken hands before
half that awful struggle had been endur-
ed-before half those lives had been sac
rificed. What that war was-in which
more men were led than any European
nation could put into the field, in which
one side fought on, tho wounded coming
back as soon as they could march at all
into the ranks Of regiments formed out Of
| the remnants OF those who begun the
war, till none were left 20 fght--none
could realize who had not visited those
battle fields and lived with those who
began the war, till none were left to fight
hone could realize who had not visited
those battefelds and lived with those
wno fought that war. That WAS the ef
feet OF universal franchise among the
whites" The Civil War is not the only
evil which universal suffrage has wrought.
The emancipation. of the negroes has led
| to the passage of the silver bill Our
! ing the war it was necessary ;" continued
| Mr.. Plunkett, "to franchise the whole
population, and what has been the effect
OF this The South and West hold a
preponderance of political power; the
whole result Of the war is being undone,
and the credit of America-upheld
through all that awful struRglo-is shaken
by al net Of repudation." Mr.. Plunk-
etts bump of causslity is unduly devel-
oped. -NesS York Iitbune.

Mrs. ABRAHAM LINCoLN.-It is o sad
fact that Mrs. Abraham Lincoln, the
widow Of the late President Lincoln, is
living n secluded life in an interior town
in France, and declines to return to
America lest she may again be placed in
II lunatic asylum. 1t is said that in
France she still INDUCES, to moderate
extent, in her propensity for buying
things for which she has no use, and fl
ling closets with articles wholly unneces-
sary.
1t will be remembered that in 1875,
Mrs. Lincoln's son commenced proceed
ings in the Chicago courts to have his
mother adjudged insane, in view Of her
reckless expenditures, and her many acts
person appointed to care for her property
| The court, after hearing the evidence,
pronounced her insane, and appointed a
trustee to manage her estate. About $50,-
600 in Government bonds was found or
her person. After the decision by the
court, she left her room, at the Grand Pa
cidc Hotel, and endeavored to procure
laudanum at neighborlng drug store
but received only harmless drug, anc
was prevented from committing suicide
The next day she was conveyed to Il pri
vate asylum in Northern Illinois, and
after few months was placed in care o
her sister, at Springfield, from whence
she sought quiet retreat in France. The
loss of her husband bore heavily upon
her, but tho blow which wrecked heI
mind was the shaft Of death that fell up
on her loved boy " Fred" There is but
little hope OF her recovery. Robert Lin

GERMAN CIGAHs.-In connection with
Prince Bismarck's tobacco project, q
celebrated botanist, Herr Schlleden, has
published some statistics in regard to the
manufacture and sale OF cigars in Ger
many. 1t appears that in Thuringia
alone 450 tons of beetroot leaves are an
nually "transiormed into tobacco" In
Magdenburg aud the Paatinate the ci-
gar-makers employ large quantities, not
only Of beetroot leaves but also OF the
leaves of endive, and even Of the potato
plant. The cigars sold in South Ger
many as coming from Vevey, at price
of from one mark to one mark and halfa
hundred, do not, according TO Herr
Schlieden, contain any tobacco, Except
that made with cabbage or turnip leaves,
which had been deprived OF their specific
oder by various manipulation, and subse-
quently stepped for sometime in an extract
of tobacco Herr Schliedcn adds, with
an air Of conscious pride, that sin no
country in the world are cigars sold at SO
cheap rate as in Germany."-IuH MdH

its own address, and finally to sing:
"r ere was an old man whose name was Uncle
Ned,
And he died long ago, long ago;
And there wasn't any wool ON the top Of his
hoad,
On the place where the wool ought to grow
This dropping into poetry apparently
gave sentimental turn to the thoughts
of tho phonograph, for presently, in spite
of the fact that it was discoursing to a
mixed and probably unsympathstic audi
ence, it began to long for
"the touch of vanished hand
And the sound of a voice that is still"
As yet the phonograph is in its infancy.
It's discovery was the result of an acci
dent, and so tar but little idea can be
formed of the d evelopment Of which it
is susceptible. The gentleman who has
the honor of being its inventor is Profes
sor Thomas A. Edison, the famous cleo
trician, who in experimenting with the
telephone, happened to notice the manner
in which the disks of that instrument vi
brated in accordance with the breath used
in speaking. Believing these vibrations
could be recorded 90 as to be reproduced, =,
he set to work to manufacture q machine
for the purpose, and the result is the
phonograph. In short time we shall,
no doubt, have the curious little contriv-
ance worked up to its highest perfection.
And then, possibly, there will follow a
revolution in all departments of public
singing and speaking, There is no reas-
on why We should not have all the great
mon of the age, as we'll AS all the bril-.
liant singers and actresses, taken posses
sion of and driven off the course by the
phonograph. Let them sing or speak
once in any place, their words and tones
will be captured by the phonograph.-
The tin-foil, whereon all they have said
is duly recorded, will be electrotyped, and
copies sold at SO much piece. We shall
ali waste a portion Of our substance on
these little instruments and then we
have only to turn a crank, or set a kind OF
a clockwork in motion, in order at any
time to hear the great ones Of the earth
discourse in our own parlors. - Haiper'(

STRYCHNIA AND ITS ANTIDoTE.--A
spondent in Nature says: Wanting
to Danish some mice from a pantry
placed on the floor at night n shce of
brend spread over with butter, in which |
mixed II threepenny packet Of Battles
Vermin Killer" which contains about a
grain Of strychnia. along with flour and
Prussian blue. The following morning
was reused by servant telling me that n
favorite SKye-terrier was lying dead.
found that the mice had dragged the
bread underneath the locked door, and
that the dog had thus got at it and eaten
n part equal to about one-sixth of grain
of strychnia an occasional tetanic spasm
showed That life was not quite extinct
Having notes Of the experiments made by
the direction of the British Medical As
socintion last year on the antugonism Of
medicines, and wherein it was conclusive-
ly proved that fatal dose OF strychnia
could be neutraized by fatal dose of
chloral hydrate, and that minimum
dose of the latter for rabbit was twenty
one grains, | at once injected under the
dogs skin torty-fve grains of the chloral
in solution, my dog being about twice the
weight of a rabbit In quarter of an
hour, fancyng the dog was dead, as the
spasms had ceased and it lay apparently
iteless, moved it with my foot, when it
at once struggled to its feet, and shortly
after staggered to its usual corner by the
parlor fire it took some milk, and ex-
cept FOR being quieter than usual, seemed
nothing the worse for the ordeal it had
passed through. That the fatal effects of
a poisonous dose of strychnia was thus
counteIacted 80 successfully by what
should say was poisonous dose Of chlor-
al given hypodermically, is an interesting
fact verifying the experiments alluded to
Without such experiments on the lower
animals, a medical man might often be
found standing by helpless to aid hls fel-
lowman under similar effects OF poison.
