The Prince Of Wales's Debt.

The Prince of Wales, who for some
years past has been on the high tide Of
popularity, has recently given great UNI
bragg to his Somersetshire and Cornish
tenantry by resembling decision to re-
duce their rents--on account of the pres
ent hard times by IS per cent. The
poor Prince is placed in rather an awk-
ward position; his mothers niggardliness
and his own lavish disposition have COM
bined to involve him tremendously in
debt. 1t is stated on good authority that
his Royal Highness is indebted to London
tradesmen alone in the sum of GO 500 900.
OF course, the heir apparent can obtain
unlimited credit; all his creditors are sure
Of their money sooner or later, and even
in the event of bis death before his as
cension to the throne, there is no doubt
OF their being paid in full. Still, the
claims upon his purse are most pressing
and the question of "ways and MEANS"
which many poorer man has lately had
to take most seriously into consideration,
has not been without significance to the
future King of England. Most of the
landed gentry and noblemen of England
have lately thought it their duty, or pol
icy, to forego considerable portion Of
their income to these who till their lands.
The Duke of Bedford has RENTED fifty
per cent of his rents, which is clear loss
of 100000 year to him. Whatever the
faults of the Prince of Wales may be,
stinginess could never be justly ascribed
to him, aud very dire must have been the
necessity which could have induced him
to alter the determination he had come
to, to follow the example of so many
leading peers and gentry in sacrificing
portion of their income to the pressing
needs of the distracted and disheartened
English farmers.

Turning the Tables.

Tom Hills, sometime huntsman of
the Old Surrey Hounds, was once sent
to buy a fox in Leadenhall Market for
service the next day. The commission
was not at all to Toms liking; but obey
ing orders, he rode to town, got his fox,
and putting him, securely strapped,
legs upward, in capacious pocket in
his overcoat. turned his horses head
homeward. Somewhere about mid
night he reached Streatham Common.
to be suddenly stopped with the once
familiar challenge, Your money or
your life u
MY money exclaimed Hills. II
haven't got any; I am only servant;
and you wouldn't take my life, surely?"
The highwayman told him to look
sharp, emphasizing the injunction by
pointing q pistol at the huntsman's
head.
"Well, my man." said the latter,
we won't fall out. I want my life; 80,
as I've no money, I suppose you must
have moneys worth. You'll find some
thing quite as good in my pocket here;
so pray help yourself"
The robbers disengaged hand dived
into Toms pocket instanter, and Master
Raynard's teeth closed as quickly upon
it, causing the fellow to yell in dismay,
and drop pistol and reins; while Tom
galloped off at his best pace, leaving his
unwelcome acquaintance to bandage
his hand and digest his disappointment
at leisure.

Piute Barbarity.

It is we'll known that some OF the
Indian tribes of America have a habit
of killing horses when their chiefs and
medicine-men die and in some instan-
ces the departing braves wives have
been dispatched to bear them company
to the happy hunting grounds. When
the celebrated Ute chief, Walker, died
in the northern part of the territory q
good many years ago, whole band of
horses were slain by his warriors. But
heretofore no one has supposed that
the Indians of this region had interest
enough in the future life to prepare an
escort for their departing braves. The
death of o buck near Toquerville a
short time ago, showed that the old
chief who begs buscuits at that settle
ment is blooded. He forthwith de-
cided to kill a sQuaw to accompany his
favorite warrior, but the squaw, get
ting q hint of her intended funeral, hid
herself 80 effectually that no clew
could be got of her whereabouts. As
the time allowed for the sacrifice was
rapidly passing, the old chief, in order
not to be defeated, selected q three
year-old pappoose, which he took from
its mother and buried it in the grave of
the dead man. The head of the child
was left projecting above the ground so
that il could breathe, but he allowed
no one to go near it, till Bishop Bring
hurst, discovering a cOmmotion in the
tribe. traced out the canse and saved
the child's life after it had been in the
situation described two or three days.
The mother of the child was afraid to
tell what had happened, though she
was observed to be grief stricken.
The Toquerville people thought seri.
ously of burying the Lamanite with
his head the other way, but he insisted
that the religion of the Piutes re-
quired him to do what he had DONE

Rochambeau and his suite took the

Amusing Incident in India.

A lady has just told me a recent and

magistrate in India, and his young
wife has not yet learned Hindostan.
Every morning the policeman comes to
the magistrate, reports on the con-

Science Not Hostile to Poetry.

Eugene Veron in his d" Hlsthetia ,"
scouts the foolish notion that our greater
knowledge of the secrets of nature will
less exalt our imagination than the
childish notions of primitive ages.
How can we believe that comprehen-

and our earth together, and makes
them rush In their proper order through

peopled with literally an inuumerable
multitude of similar worlds and sys.

deeply stirred by the sight of the mid
night sky, than the men who looked up
at it and thought they were gazing at a
vault sprinkled with golden nails And
he proceeds to ask whether man can
have become Indifferent to man now
that he studies mankind, now that he is
investigating the laws of the body and
the laws of the mind, laws of which the
very greatest philosophers of old had
not the very slightest conception?
What, too, from social point of view,
he asks, are the true glories of our day,
Charity, liberation, respect for woman
I'D, childhood, and for human life,
dba even for animals? He points out
that such sentiments as hate, anger,
revenge, and cunning, which were
looked upon with almost appreciation
by the ancients, are now regarded as
crimes, and he points out how all these
changes in morals have affected, and
must continue to affect, the character
OF modern poetry.
ALL MEN DO IT.-Of Gen. Albert Sid
ney Johnston, it is related that one day
IN Utah, when his command was two

found thht captain had returned to

him. But all the commander said was I;
can imagine no excuse for such care

General himself discovered in winter

letter which long time before he had
received from surgeon with the re-
quest that he post it. He had taken it
to the station, forgotten to post it, and
