Dynastic SUGGESTIONS.

The oldest of European dynasties,
which claims succession of 260 heads,
during 1913 years, and which gives
something like proof of the sequence of
217 pOntiffs since the year AID. 327, was
Independent of the law of descent. The
present head of the royal house of France
can trace an unbroken descent of 26
generations from Hugh Capet; but dur
ing that cycle of $40 years the regnant
line has thrice been broken, and the
descendants of younger branches have
twice been called on to step into the
front rank. The longest male line
among the nobility of Europe, that of
the MontmOrencies, which claims to
have raised its cT'i of g Dieat aide az pre-
nl5er Chretie7z - in AID. 497, is now
represented in France only by two aged
ladies. The % dynasties of China do,
indeed, cover a longer period than the
33 dYeasties of Egypt Cncluding Alex
ander and the PtOlemies). Their slowly
changing order has endured to our time.
But the era of hereditary kings in China
is fixed not earlier than the commence
ment of the foreign reign of the HyksOs
in Egypt. When FOu Hi invented the
art of writing i'm China, the hierOglyphic
system of Egypt was already perfect
both in significance and in execution.
The founding of Memphis preceded that
of the Great Pyramid by period equal
to that which divides the reign of Queen
Victoria from the Norman Conquest.
If we add to this the whole period of the
Papacy from the tabled Primacy of Peter
to Leo XIII, we shall not have measur-
ed period so long as that which, COM
mencing with Menes, preceded the
establishment of the mighty eighteenth
dynasty at Thebes. We must add Il
term equal to the duration of the French
royalty, from Charlemagne to 1879, be-
fore we reach the period of final decad-
ence, when Persian and Ethiopian kings
strove for the spoils of Egypt. We may
well ask, in wonder, are these veritable
records of human life and empirep

IN former years it was q common occur
renee to find 50 per cent. of the field hands in
Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama struck
down with Swamp Fever, Chills and Fever or
Dumb Ague, just during the busiest time of
summer. Now, we are glad to hear that the
planters succeed in curing every case of the
disease in a few days by the use of DR.. F.
Wilhoft's AntiPeriodic and Fever and Ague
Tonic, which is sold by all Druggists through
the country.

Epilepsy or Failing Fits.

In the Presbyterian Journal of December

lowing extracts: Goa our way bacIp (from a

which set fire to his clothing. He started at a
rapid pace down the hill to his parents rest
