For the hundred and 1itTieth time at
least the rumor has been started that
Queen Victoria has decided to relinquish
the reins of power in favor Of the Prince
of Wales as Prince Regent. Amongst a
large class in England, especially the
"shop-keeping class" the wish is un-
doubtedly "father to the thought" for
since the death OF Prince-Consort Albert
there has rested shadow of intermina-
BILE mourning over the royal household,
which has extended to the aristocratlc
circles and more or less chilled the at
mosphere of society, whereby the ex-
penditures of fashionable life have been
restrained. 1t is wisely judged, from
| the welI-known character Of the P. of W.,
that on his accession to power he will
make things hum in courtly circles and
for five or ten miles around. Hence the
anxiety among the masses of the people
to see him "access" to the throne, even
though but to the position of King by
| bfevet.

WHAT MUsrACHE?-A young man and his
pirl sat near the front at Burdette's lecture
the other evening. The young man carried
his head on one side, it being forced into
that position by the weight of half very
tender mustache which was composed OF
seven hairs upon one side and eleven upon
the other side of his nose. When the
"Hawkeye" man had just finished convus
ing his hearers with an account of youths
first shaving encounter with a barber, the
Young man leaned over to his girl, and
whispered-
"Thats true to life, can tell you"
"How can you tell me?' inquired his
girl.
by experience; that's just the way fell
when first got shaved"
"Wben was that?n she asked.
ooh, before / raised my mustache," hs
returned.
"What mustache% she queried, little
surprised. o,,
"What mustache do you SUPPOSE he re
torted, turning red.
"Why, Charlie" whispered the girl
II never saw any mustache! Do 70,
mean"
"Never mind what mean," hissed th
Young man between his clenched teeth
And he stared very hard at the lecture
all the rest of the evening, but somehow
couldn't see anything to laugh at Sunda'
night he went to see new girl Rocklant

TIE United States Fish Commission
some months since introduced the Nor
wegian nets for the purpose of catching
cod, at Gloucester, Mass. They didn't
prove successful, however, and Prof
Baird adopted the lake-gill nets, witt
more extended meshes, which are likely
TO create something of a revolution in
cod-tishery. At the first trial with the
improved nets over one thousand pounds
Of cod were landed, and this is said to be
che first satisfactory cod haul ever made
with nets in America.

Rusy winter scenes

Travel norhward from Baltimore ls
through a succession of winter scenes. All
the rivers are cebound and covered with
snow. The Susquehanna is frozen us far as
he eve can reach from Havre de Grace
down towards the bay, and the ice harvest
is ac i've. Between HaVre and Port Deposit
numerous large ice-louses exist on both
sides of the river. Here the ice.plows,
Dir ,wn by horses, are at work, and gangs ot
men are cleaning off the snow with push
shovels. The plows cut the ice into long
strips, which are broken into blocks anu
packed away for the summer. Passengers
on the through line to and from New York
and Philadelphia get at the bridge over the
Susquehanna just now most dellghttnI

that armies can be readily drilled to ex-
ecute military maneuvers in the dark as
we'll as in the broad glare of daylight.
With this view he proposes that the

such material that they would be phos-

GEN. BEAUREGARD has reached the
conclusion that, considering the
great precision now obtained in shoot
ing, the rapidity in firing, the deadly
and mathematical direction which is
given to the missiles, and the long range
from which opposing armies can repel
an assault, day fighting has almost be,
come impossible" He therefore believes
that the great battles of the future will

WHY He RODE A MULE.-Ihe Charleston.
s. c.. News, in a recent issue says: "lle
occouns of the accident which was pub
lished in the Newsand Courier the day al
fer its occurrence became known, was ful
and exact in every particular save one and
hat omission now desire to supply "a
If answers the question which
have frequently heard asked, Why Coy
prnor Hampton, of all men, should ever
have consented to ride mule in deer
hunt? A sufficient reply might be made
to the effect that the Governor can rid2
ANYTHING any other man can, ana therefore
felt no hesitation in mounting even a
Young unbroken mule; but the true ana
better reason is that he chose to use the
animal in question rather than con
tinue the hunt upon the morse Which ne
had taken with him, which had already
done him good service the day before, and
which he wished to spare for the reason
that it was not his own, but had beer
nloced at his disposal by friend. The
| Governor is a hard rider where his owl
stock are concerned, but he is not one o
that very large class of mankind who &C
cording to the proverb, are willing to 'rid'
q borrowed horse to death He left th
horse behind, therefore, upon prin
ciple. and took upon hlmSel
the risk of riding instead
brute which few other men would care t.
bestride. In this general connection ma
as well mention another fact in point
which will be appreciated by any man VIII
knows the Governor or who has ever 10
lowed tie hounds; towit that the onl
real concern the Governor evinced at tn
time of the accident, though suffering keer
Iv the wniie, was in view of the possiblit
that some blundering reporter or editc
might publish to the world hat he had bee
thrown from his saddle" ..

THE most powerful lens ever con-
structed was exhibited at the New York
Academy of Sciences last Monday even
ing. 1t is one-seventy-ffth objective,
ard was made by Robert A. Tolles, of
Boston, who has become celebrated for
his works in this direction. At the ex-
hibition referred to the colored corpus
cles in human blood were used for illus.
tration. These bodies are so minute that
it would require about two million five
hundred thousand to pave the surface Of
circle halt an inch in diameter. The
apparent size of such body under this
lens was about that of a ten-cent piece
and the power of the lens, without am
plifer, not far from seven thousand five
hundred--or fifty-six million two hun
dred and fifty thousand times.

GEN. Mccormick, United States
Commissioner-General to the Paris Ex-
position, arrived in New York Tuesday
evening, dragging his lengthy title, as
Bopeep's sheep did their tails, hehind
him. Although he was dined, wined and
feted abroad, and carried about on the
hands of nobility, it does not appear that
this continent was convulsed upon his
landing No feast was spread for his re-
ception, and he was not even treated, as
Grant was at Belfast, to a lunch. AS he
is undoubtedly one Of those prophets
who is not without honor except in his
own country, he had better avail himself
of the Germanic's return trip, and GO
back to the banquets of Paris.

THE new year was ushered in through
out the State of Georgia last week by an
election of county officers. Party lines
were generally abrogatei, the Democrats
only making nominations in less than
thirty of the one hundred and thirty
seven counties, while, except in a few of
the coast and border counties, no Repub-
icans were running at all. There was
no lack of capdidates, however, as they
sprang up in multitudes at every cross
road, until, in the language of the Angus
ia Chronicle, it resulted in Gree fight D
"scrub race" "shake-bag contest" OF

NOTWITHSTANDING the severity of the
winter and the unusually low prices now
paid for lumber in the Northwest, there
is great activity in that industry, and
much timber is being put on the streams.
In Wisconsin, strange as it may appear,
the lumbermen are anxious for more
snow, as the fall has so far been too light
for Shedding logs or lumber.
