IutbOtts Patent Spark Arrester,
THE INVENTION OF THE AGE.

HE IN IGNITION OF THE AGE.
Ialbott's new Patent Spark Arrester
IS really the only perfect and reliable
one, and is superseding ali others in
use. The great efficiency of this Arrest
er is attracting universal attention., and
is being endorsed by the best mechan-
zeal engineers and insurance.
Its prominent features are:
1t does not destroy the draft.
1t does not interfere with cleaning
the tubes.
1t will not choke up, and requires no
cleaning.
1t requires no direct hampers to be
opened when raising steam (dampers
being Objectionable, as they may be let
open and allow sparks to escape
1t requires no water to ~eXtinguish
sparks, which, by condensation. de-
strOys the draft. Besides. when water
is used, if neglected, the efficiency is
destroyed by evaporation Of the water,
and the boiler is kept in a filthy con
ditiOn.
1t is simple and durable, and can be
relied upon.
1t can be attached to any boiler.
No planter should be without one Of

Eugenie's Oracle.

Before young Louis Napoleon went to
the Cape, writes Richard Whiting, his
mother,< who is deeply superstitious. con-
suited one Nine de Saffrey, who is be-
lieved to have the gift of second sight.
Nine. de SaHrey enjoyed some distinction
at the Tullleries, and, though she did not
follow the Empress into exile, she is in
frequent communication with her old
patroness. She was the only person of
the Imperial entrouage who did not hail
the declaration of war against Prussia
with delight. Her utterance On the sub
ject was indeed not explicit enough to be
OF much use, being confined to mere
repetition OF the Italian proverb that
what will be will be, but it was sufficient
to give her great credit with the Empress.
Her fixed idea it appears is that the En-
glish are destined to be fatal to the Ma
poleonic race, and she is said to have
most inconslstently urged the Empress to
leave Chiselhurst on that account and
live in Switzerland Or Italy-as if destiny
in the shape of the inevitable Briton
could not reach the family even there.
She processes to see confirmation of her
prophetic misgivings in the refusal Of
England to declare for France in her hour
Of need, though any body but a seer
might fancy that Germany was the prime
agent OF the misfortunes Of the war. At
any rate, she steadily opposed Napoleo-
foregathering with England from first to
last, and, when the Empress wrote to her
about the Cape journey, she repeated her
| mysterious warning. This accounts for

did not then know the reason as to the
Empress opposition to the project The
Empress was overruled in part by the

part by the counsel Of the most active of

TennysOn's Lovers Tale.
Edinburgh scotchman.

Edinburgh Scotchman.
In few days the literary world will be
in hutter over the publication of sThe
Lovers Tale" by Alfred Tennyson. This
poem contains about 1000 lines and
was written about fifty years ago. AS
far back as 1888 it was printed for circu-
lation among the authors friends one Of
whom the present Lord Houghton, quot
ed rom it in 1884 these lines;
Pushed from his chair of regal heritage,
The Present is the vassal of the Past.
1t was Withdrawn from circulation almost
Immediately and has not hitherto found
a place in any authorized edition of the
LaQreate's works. It is written in that
form of blank verse which Tennyson has
made popular and contains story found
ed upon the fourth novel in the tenth
day OF Boccaccio's "Demcameron." The
story is that of a young wife of Bologna
who is buried in a trance mistaken for
death. An old sutton determines to have
a last look at the face of his lost lady.
and finding that she is still warm with
life conveys her to his mothers house
where shortly after her child IS borne.
After a short period he invites the wild
over and all the friends of the two hous-
es to great feast, at the conclusion of
which he presents the ssdead wife, and
child to the s'widower husband.'' This
scene is described in the Golden Sup
per- which forms the sequel Of the
.Lover's Tale" Some portions follow
the Italian original very closely, but
there are many and characteristic varia-
tons.

Royalty in Calcutta.

v Z = i
Mr.. Young, of the New York Herald,
in his account Of Of the visit of Gen. Grant
to Calcutta, says:
The native gentlemen and princes Of
high rank were presented by the Viceroy
to Gen. Grant. Some Of these names
were the foremost in India. Some were
deposed princes, or descendants Of de-
posed princes. Others were Brahmins of
high caste; some rich bankers and mer-
chants. The son Of King Dude came
with his son. He has an effeminate,
weak face. On his head he wore head
dress shaped like crown, and covered
with gold foil and lace. The King of
Dude lives in Calcutta, on an allowance
Of 100000 year. He does not come
near the Government House, partly be-
cause he is SO fat that he cannot move
about, except in chair; more probably
because he is a kind of state prisoner on
account of his supposed sympathies with
the mutiny. The old king spends good
share Of his income in buying animals
He has collection Of snakes. and is fond
OF peculiar kind of pigeon. A pigeon
with blue eye will bring him good for
tune, and if one of his Brahmin priests
tell him that the possession of such a
bird is necessary to his happiness, he
buys it. Recently he paid g.
900 for pigeon on the advice of holy
Brahmln, who it was rumored, had an
interest in the sale: Not long since the
king made purchase OF tigers, and was
about to buy new and choice lot, when
the lieutenant governor interfered, and
said his majesty had tigers enough. NV
admiration for the kingly Office is so pro-
found that I like it best in its eccentric
aspects, and would have rejsiced to have
seen so original majesty. But his mai
esty is in seclusion with his snakes, his
tigers, his pigeons, his priests and his
women, and sees no one, and we had to
be content with seeing his son. The
prince seemed forlorn with his bauble
crown, his robes and his gems, and hid
behind pillars and in corners of the room,
and avoided the general conversation.
Another noted prince was the descendant
ofTlppoo Soltan, a full-blooded, eager
Moslem prince, with a flowing beard and
character in the lines of his face. This
prince and princess are refugees, and I'M
der the protection Of the viceregal court.
The princess was a pretty little lady,
with almost European features, and was

The Power Of Memory Wonderful
Examples.

In his recent lecture on EtMemory."
Ralph Waldo Emerson gives many most
Interesting facts. Among other things
he said:
Nearly all Of the worlds most remark
able orators, poets, statesmen, wits, SOL
diers, philosophers, scientists, etc, were
men OF tenacious memory. Quintillian
had said that memory was genius While
this was true III the main it did not al
ways follow that men Of genius possessed
1T. Isaac Newton was remarkable e1-
ception. He could remember oftentimes
his own great works without trouble; and
Newton's genius was undoubted Themis-
tocles, on the other hand, remembered ev-
erything. II would rather teach YOU
how to forget everything" was the reply.
But this was wit and not reason, said the
lecturer. It had been SAID that the af-
fections Or feelings were the greatest in
centives to memory The senses or pas
sions lead men to remember. Napoleon
cared nothing for Alexandrine verse, but
not one line Of his army returns was ever
absent from his mind. Scipio knew near
~ every man by face and name in his az
my. Seneca could repeat 1900 words of
a poem only once heard; Mithridates,
who commanded an army made up of ali
the nations Of the globe, conversed in all
their representative languages. The
prince of Orange, on one oc-
casion, saw Grotius standing by out
OF curiosity during the roll-call of one Of
his regiments. Having heard much Of
Grotious' memory, he asked him if he
could remember the names which had
been read. Grotlus astonished the prince
by giving all the names in inverse order.
A great scholar had once been deprived
by an enemy of much loved book.
His enemy thought he had conquered
him, but the scholar rewrote the book
from memory and detied the enemy. AS
further illustration of the memory be-
ing strong when the feelings are enlisted,
the lecturer says man never forgets a
debt due himself, nor, as DR.. Johnson
says, who kicked him last. The late
John Brown Of Ossawatomie and Harp
er's Ferry fame was fond of sheep-farm-
ing, and had at one time 5000 sheep,
each one Of which he could single out
from any other flock into which it might
have strayed. In his own town Of Con
cord his nelghbor, Abe Norton, who
dealt in horses and was very fond of
them, could remember at a glance any
one Of the hundred animals that he had
ever seen. Horses which had been sent
years ago to various parts Of Massachus-
etts by MI. Norton sometimes came back
to Concord, and were at once recognized
by him as they were driven along the
street.

Unpublished Letter of Burns.

Not far from this structure, Carrick
Hill arises abruptly from the road, and
from its crest wide view is revealed of
the Fifth and its mountain boundaries in
purple haze, Allsa Craig out toward the
sea, the town on the bay, and the village
at the foot. These scenes VIII always
have an interest from their association
with the poet; but his family is on the
verge of extinction. Two maiden ladies
Of advanced years, the Misses Begg, are
the only survivors. They live very com
fortably in little cottage called the
Bridgeside, within two miles of the old
kirk, and Hospitality receive visitors who
are interested in the poet, though they
possess few "reminiscences of him. Gen.
Grant, and Henry M Stanley, the explo-
Ter, had been among their recent guests I:
and through their kindness we were al
lowed to copy the following interesting
and hitherto unpublished letter of Burns
to his brother William:
ISLE, Tuesday evening.
DEAR WILLIAM In my last 1 recon-
mended that valuable apothegm, Learn
taciturnity. 1t is absolutely certain that
nobody can know our thoughts, and vet
from slight observation Of mankind one
would not think so. What mischiefs
daily arise from silly garrulity and fool
ish confidence! There is an excellent
Scots saying, that mans mind Is his
kingdom. 1t IS certainly so; but how
few can govern that kingdom with pro-
priety! The serious mischiefs in bust
ness which this fux of language occasions
do not come Immediately to your situa-
ton; but in another point Of vlew-the
dignity Of man-now is the time that will
make or mar. Yours is the time of life
for laying in habits. You cannot avoid
It, though you will choose, and these
habits will stick to your last sand. At
afterperiods, even at so little advance as
my years tits true that one may still be
very sharps1ghted to ones habitual fail
ings and weaknesses, but to eradicate
them, is quite different matter. Ac-
quired at first by accident, they by-and-
by begin to be, as it were, necessary
part Of our existence. / have NOT time
for more. Whatever you read, whatever
you hear, of that strange creature Man,
look into the living world about you,
look to yourself, for the evidences of the
fact or the application of the doctrine.

A breath of the summer air,
That kissed your pure white forehead,
And played with your sunny hair.
All! the roses grew red beside you,
You were filled with perfume of June
What wonder you fancy the sweetness
An echo of heavenly tune?
What wonder your snowy forehead
Der the roses red bows low,
And you murmur a dear name softly,
Well loved in the long ago.
All Love! Love is forever.
My spirit is one with thine,
And our love is our life, my darliug,
A part of the life divine.
And now while the summer zephers
Breathe soft between us two,

When the women gazed upon it,

For it was a perfect daisy,
Tilted gaily fore and aft
Calculated to set crazy
Half the giddy female craft.

AS she felt her bonnet loom,
And was sorry when it ended
And the bonnet ceased to boom.
