The Late Princes JeMeIrY.

The watch found by the body of the
late Prince Imperial had doubtless been
left by the Zulus under the supposition
that it was charm, which, if taken,
would render the holder liable to the
i'll luck of the previous wearer. 1t was
an ordinary timepiece, and was pur-
chased by Napoleon l. when he was
lieutenant of artillery. He wore it as
First Consul, as Emperor, and until his
last sickness at St. Helena. Napoleon
Ill. became it's owner, and wore it dur
ing his attempts at revolution at Stras-
burg and Boulogne. From the time
that he became president to the hour of
his death at Chiselhurst, he never sepa-
rated himself from it. The ex-Empress
subsequently gave it to her son, who
wore it constantly. 1t often required
repairs, even during the time of its first
wearer. He looked at it one day while
talking with Marshal Berthier, and
found that it had stopped. Berthier
asked him why he did not procure q
better one. What can you expect of a
watchp" said Napoleon. +" We shall
have to stop one day, ourselves" The
locket worn by the prince had been
brought from Egypt by the first Ma
poleon, who also wore the sword taken
by the Zulus. The gc'l chain had be-
longed to Napoleon III. sys

An Indians Grit,

A short time ago a young Umppewa
hunter was shooting squirrels in the
woods that border Lake Huron near
Penetansuishene, Ont, when by some
means large blighted pine fell upon
him, knocking him down and crushing
his leg, which was fractured in two
places. He could not rise-he could not
remove the tree which was lying across
his broken leg. He was far from the
probability of passing aid, and to lie
there and starve to death in agony
seemed all that was left to him. In his
dilemma, with all the fortitude and
promptness of romance, he took out his
knife, cut off his own leg, bound it up
with his sash, dragged himself along the
ground to his canoe, and padded him
self home to his wigwam on distant
island. There the care of his wounds
was completed, and the man is still alive.

Ia Story of Victor Emanuel.

The London Court Circular says
Here is a good story of the late King of
Italy, "Il Re Galantuomo," as his sub
jects liked to call him. Going to the
theater one night in a gray coat, the king
observed that the daughter of the EN-
peror of Russia and the Princess Mar
gherita were in the house. He must pay
a visit to the foreign princess, and it was
too late to return to the ..Quirinal to
change his dress. am all black but

He espied a young marquis, and one OF

him. The coat was quickly exchanged,
but white tie was still wanting. The
marquis offered his; but Victor Eman-
uel, seeing one of his servants at the door
Of the box with fresher one, walked
up to him and silently took off his tie
and fastened it Cd himself, then brush
ing his hair at the glass he said, +" Do ]

in which he occasionally INDUCED, did
not involve loss of dignity, for lie knew

FOR THE FAIR SEX.
Only ThvseIf.

The following verses appeared many years
since in an English provincial paper, but at
trlcted less attention than their great beauty
merits. The speakers are dying girl and
her lover. The ardent passion manifested by
the youth suggests TO the girl several images
under which she supposes that he will delight
to personiiy her after death. The stanzas are
in the form of dialoge-the girl suggesting
the particular images in succession and the
lover responding:
Even as fiowerl"
"No, fiiirest, be not to me as a flower,
The uncertain sun calls forth its odorous
breath;
The sweetest perfume gives the speediest
death
The sport and victim OF a summer hour.
Fairest, be not a fiower"
d" Even as a star ?"
"No, brightest, be not to me as a star;
Ills one OF the millions, and the hurrying
cloud
OF wraps the glitt'ring splendor in its
shroud;
Morn pales its luster and it shines altar.
Brightest, be not starr"
Even as a dover"
"No; purest, be not to me us a dove;
The 81 oiler oft breaks in upon its rest,
Robbing the downy joys of its soft nest,
And plunging silence through its native grove.
Purest, be not dovep
Even as a rock ?"
Ono, my most faithful, be not as a rock;
1t mocks the embracing wave, or stands
alone
In loveless gloom, in dreary wastes I'M
known,
Senseless alike to fortunes smile or shock
Changeless, be not a rockp'
Even as-myseltW
"My souls best idol, be but as thyself;
Brighter than star, fairer than flower;
Purer than dove, and in thy spirits power
Steadier than rock
Yes! be thyself, thyself -only thyselt!"

From Washington.

The new postage law in relation to the pre-
payment Of postage has just gone into effect.
Heretofore all letters insuficiently stamped
were forwarded to their destination, and the
amount due was collected OF the persons to
whom the letters were addressed. Under the
new law postmasters are required to place
upon letters not fully prepaid the stamp or
additional stamps now known as the 'postage
due stamps" and to send to the Office where
the letter is to be delivered a bill for the
amount OF stamps advanced. The postmaster
receiving such letters and bills returns the
amount to the forwarding postmaster, and
collects the amount from the receiver of the
letter.
A Washington dispatch says the executive
committee OF the National Board of Health
has requested Sanitary Inspector Croft, of

and to examine carefully whether any sus-
picious cases have occurred this season. He
is further instructed to keep the board advised
in case any outbreak is reported in the north
erp part OF Mississippi. ...

Lady Gamblers


The number of lady gamblers in Lon
don is increasing steadily. A cores
pendent of the Standard states that
there is more gambling among women
at the present time than has been the
case since public gaming tables were
put down by act of Parliament. The
harmless bet of few pairs of gloves at
the race meetings is now considered far
beneath the notice of dashing ma
iron or fast maiden There are not a
few female "plungers on the turf who
"put the pot on" as the idiotic jargon
of the race course has it, with as much
eagerness as most dissipated subaltern
at the Raleigh, who stands to win a
heap of money at Ascot or at Goodwood,
with the alternative of running his old
father, the country rector, if he loses,
and allowing his sisters portions to be
swallowed up in paying his debts of
honor" If the female plunger be I'M
married she has recourse probably to
some accommodating dressmaker, or
worse still, accepts pecuniary help. from
some male friends, land perhaps puts her
self for life in the power of man who
will one day make her pay dearly for her
ndiscretion. s t
