HIshARK ON HUMHoLT.

Bismatck's Boswell, Dr. Busch, in his
book OF "reminiscences OF the diplomat
lists conversations, gives his views Of
Humboldt as follows:

Humboldt used to entertain the Court by

lamp, dropping his notes from time TO
time aud eXiemporizing some profound
remarks. Though no one paid attention
he was visibly elsted at hearing himself
speak. The Queen sat industrIously at
her embroidery, entirely absorbed by that.
The King looked at eBgravings, DoisIly

A CHARMING INCIDENT

kindly souls built, years ago, hospital

deformed little ones are taken from their
wretched homes, and Eursed with the

utter absence OF proportions between
these several prices is apparent, and ]
know OF no way OF explaining 1t except
upon the theory that the unstable
character OF the money had superinduced
reckless disregard ofall value on the
part Of both buyers aud sellers. A face
tious friend used to say prices were SO
high that nobody could see them, and
that they got mixed for want OF supervs-
ion. lie held, however, that the differ
ence between the old aud the new order
OF things was lrining one. Before the
war, he said, went TO market with the
money in my pocket, and brought back
my purchases in basket; now take the
money in the basket, and bring the things
home in my pocket. The government
attempted to relieve trouble by new issues
of paper. But this only made matters
worse. The financial condition went on
from bad 10 worse till the close of the
war. The highest price, says Mr.. Egglcs-
ton, | ever saw paid was for a pair OF
boots. A cavalry officer, entering little
country store, found there one pair OF
boots that fitted him. He inquired the
price. Two hundred dollars, said the
merchant. A five hundred dollar bill
was offered, but the merchant, having no
smaller bills, could not change 1t. Never
mind, said the cavalier, I'll take the boots
anyhow. Keep the change; never let
a matter of $500 stand in the way of a
trade.
Advocates will find here, II they will
heed IL, an instructive lesson.

Enliehtened Opinion in Russia.

A st. Petersburg journal had pub
lished an article sharply critIcising
and satiiizing the work of the mum
icipal assembly in general, and of
some of the members in particular.
The sessions of the assembly are
not public, but the Mayor has the
right to admit representative OF
the press. After the publication of
the article one of the mem bers pro-
posed that the renewing Of injur-
ious criticism should be prevented
that only criticism in mild terms
should he published, and entrance
should be refused to all reporters
who refused to sign a written OBJ
legation to that effect. This pro-
position raised q lively debate, and
Mr.. Sangalli, head OF the princip pal
manufactory of st. Petersburg,
said: "Criticism ought to be free.
If it is good. let us profit by it; il it
is witty, let us laugh with the pub
lie; but if you see it full of filth do
not touch it; it will exhaust itself;
while if you touch it, you will not
escape being soiled. If any one
publishes erroneous information
concerning our assembly it can be
rectified, and if any one finds him
himself personally offended, he can
appeal to the tribunal.o This SEN
sible view was adopted by the as

came to Santa Cruz on the Fourth

last Saturday evening was "Camp

boys were having "a good time in
forcing men and boys into huge
blanket, made of sail-cloth, and
tossing them in the air. While
standing with some friends enjoy
ing the sport, rude hands were un-
tremendously laid upon the udge's
shoulders from the rear. Looking
ronGd he beheld n trio of stalwart
mem bees of the Guard, who carried
his Honor by main force into the
magic circle and laid him upon the
white canvas. All hands took hold,

Electricity as IA Motive Power.

An application of electricity has
been successfully made in France
which threatens an entire revolu-
ton il motive power, and the sub
stitution of electricity for steam. A
letter to the Petit journal of Paris
states that after several expert
ments the proprietors of the sugar
mandatory at S,ermaiZe depart
meut of Marne) "a few months since
succeeded Ia unloading their beet
roof boats by electricity at u dis
tance of 800 feet from the factory.
Their farm battery is propelled by
the same agent. 1t eXcites great
establishment to see the horse gin
(manega) turning with great veluc
ity, and without the horse that
formerly worked it. Two wires
which conduct electricity to the
gin or mill from distance of 700
meters (2l,000 feeO explain its
continual movement. Encouraged
by this practical success, the null
proprietors have caused to be con-
structei an electro magnetic APP
paratus which by means Of n steel
cable conducts the plow to IA great
depth, and performs the labor OF

that he will soon he able to produces
