Russian princes seem to be very peculiar
kind of people. Not long ago Prince Yus.
supofE, one OF the richest men OF the country,
was first fined and then sentenced to three
months Imprisonment on account OF the
fearful amount OF dirt which he had allowed
to accumulate in his palace, and which
poisoned the atmosphere Of the whole neigh
borhood. Now, the St. Petersburg papers
announce that Prince Sergii Michaelowitz
Galizyu died in Odessa of starvation. He
lived in a dark damp room in a basement,
80 small that there was not room for the
coffin, and for several months he had had
nothing to eat but bread and 4 little fruit.
Meanwhile, his mother lives in the grandest
stvle in Moscow.

A Prediction as to Memphis.

Memphis will very possibly be with
in two years the central point of big
speculation. Real estate will decline
to almost no value. 1t will be bought
up quietly by capitalists who can at,
ford to lose much more than they pay
for it. Yellow Jack will surprise the
country by Jumping into Canada, or
by mysteriously disappearing from
the continent. The reaction in Men,
phis will be greater than her decline.
All sorts of business will expand be-
yond precedence. Houses and lots will
will appreciate value so rapidly as to
eclipse the widest mania for Chicago
land. She will pay off her debts and
become bona fde city again before
the headboards in her grave yards be-
come old. The suggestions to burn
and forever abandon the city are more
sarcastic than reasonable. The fever
is as likely to depart suddenly as to
remain another year. European ci>
ties have been repeatedly ravaged by
kindred Affections, and as often have
recovered. Unequivocal immunity
from the fever next season would i'm
mediately render Memphis giant
among the Mississippi river cities.
She occupies a controlling situation
in a business point of view, andit can
not be changed. Misfortune is al
ways emphatic, but its opposite more
so. Men cannot be called foolish who
are removing their business establish
ments from the now desolated town,
nor is it absurd to assume that health
fulness will again. visit The regions
where it had reigncd. Some of the
very men who think they have left
Memphis never to return, will go back
and make fortunes there.-St. Louis
Globe Democrat.

The Prince InperiaI's Nerve.

The Prince Imperial is said to have
been fine gymnast, a good runner,
an admirable horseman, and accus-
toned to vault into the saddle with
the greatest ease without the use Of
the stirrup. His nerve and sure-foot-
edness were something wonderful.
Last year, when he had disabled his
arm by scald, so. that he was COM
PEELED to wear it in a sling; finding
himself on board the Osborne, he ran
along the bowsprit and back again as
though he were walking along road
"a feat which much surprised and
not little alarmed those who saw it.
Upon arether occasion, when some
friends were staying at Chiselhurst,
he suddenly appeared, no one knew
how, astride the topmost ridge at the
gable end of the house, aud suddenly
rising, ran along this ridge to the
other end. In fact, scarcely day
passed without some daring feat being
performed by him. - 81

A NEW WEATHER THEORY.
How Hot and Dry Summers
NAV be FOPetOId.

H. Roe, F. R. A. S., in London Times.
When the number representing any
given year is even and exactly divisi-
BILE by three, that is the middle one of
three cold and wet summers.
When the number representing the
year is odd and divisible by three,
then that year is the middle of a triad
of hot and dry summers.
For example, 1860 is even and di-
visible by three, and the prevailing
characteristic of the three years 1859,
1860, 1861, was wet, or wet and cold;
and again, 1863 is odd and divisible
by three, and everybody remembers
1862, 1868 and 1864, as bright, hot
and dry summers.
Taking now range of twenty seven
years, over which my own personal
observations extend, and applying the
rules just given, the wet and cold
triads were 1S53-'55, 1S59-61, 1865
'67, 1S71l'73 and 1SS7,'79, while the
dry and hot triads were 1858,
1S63'64, 1S6S-'70 and 1673'76; and
without claiming that no single year
broke loose from this very order OF
seasons, 1 fearlessly maintain that all
the markedly wet or dry summers CT
the past twenty-seven years fall accu,
rately within some wet or dry period
as given above; so that no wet year
falls in what should have been a dry
period, nor any very dry in what hy'
pothetically was wet period.
The number 1881 is odd and divis
ible by three, and, if there is any
thing in my theory, that year ought
to be the middle one in triad of hot
and dry summers. | am looking for
ward, therefore, with much confidence
to good summer in 1880, followed
by two similarly good ones in 1881
and 1882, and for the sake Of every
interest of the country, L earnestly
hope my expectation may not be dis
appointed.

1t Will Do 1t.

4 man was denouncing newspaper,
advertising to a crowd of listeners.
"Last week." said he, 81 had an
umbrella stolen from the vestibule of
the - church. 1t was a gift;
and vaIuing it very highly, 1 spent
double its worth in advertising, but
have not recovered it"
"How did you word your advertise
ment?" ask ed a merchant.
"Here it is" said the man produ-
cling slip cut from a morning news
paper.
The merchant took it and read:
Lost, in the vestibule of the -
church, last Sabbath evening, a black
silk umbrella. The gentleman who
took it will be handsomely rewarded
by leaving itat No. = San Fernando
street"
"Now," said the merchant, 81 am a
liberal advertiser, and have always
found that it paid me well. A great
deal depends on the manner in which
an advertisement is put. Let US try
for your umbrella again, andi you do
not acknowledge then that advertising
pays, will purchase you new one. "
The merchant then took a slip of
paper from his pocket and wrote:
''If the man who was seen to take
an umbrella from the vestibule of the
- church, last Sabbath evening,
does not wish to get into trouble, aud
have a stain cast upon the Christian
character which he values so highly
he will return it to No. :, San Fer
nando street. He is well known"
This duly appeared in the paper,
and on the following day the man was
astonished, when he opened the front
door of his residence. On the porch
lay at least dozen umbrellas, of all
shades and sizes, that had been thrown
from the sidewalk, while the front
yard was literally paved with umbrel,
las. Many of chem had notes attached
to them. saying that they had been ia
ken by mistake, and begging the loser
] to keep the little affair quiet. =. -- z

FEAT.
How Forbes Carried the News of
the Victory at Ulundi.
London CorrespOndence OF ING Now fork
Tribune.

Mr.. Forbes latest exploit is an
honor, not only to the Great Liberal
journal with which he is connected,
but to Journalism in general would
say, with the permission ofthe Nation.
to journalism as profession. When
Mr.. Forbes brought tidings of the de-
cisive repulse of the Turkish attack
on Shipka Pass, and, outstripping six
aides-de-camp of the Gar, told his sto-
ry of Russian victory to the Russian
Emperor, he surpassed all previous
performances. l doubt whether lie
has not now surpassed himsel He
witnessed the battle of July 4th near
Ulundi. As soon as it was ended
as soon as he saw the Zulu attack
broken and their forces breaking in
pieces over the country, he set out to
carry the news. The nearest tele-
graph station was eighty miles away,
and could only be reached by lonely
ride through a country swarming with
hostile savages, where every ravine
and the ravines are countless-might
hide an ambush. With his dispatch
in his head and his life in his hand he
rode those eighty miles. He arrived
at Landmarks Drift, and thence tele-
graphed the sole lrative of the bat
tie first to Sir Garnet Wolsely, then
to Sir Bartle Frere. The full splen-
dor of this achievement hardly comes
out as it deserves in the published ac-
counts. Forbes covered his eighty
miles, over q difficult country, in
fifteen hours. 1t was on the 9th of
July, at night, that his dispatches
reached the two High Commissioners.
Three days later, on the Sth, they
were the only source Of information at
Cape Town. Writing home on that
day, Sir Bartle Frere says: 81 have
received from Sir Garnet Wolseley, as
yet, only copy of Forbes telegram,
which had reached me previously"
The leisurely communications from
Lord Chelmsford and from the CORES
pondents of other journals appear to
have reached Cape Town just in time
to be forwarded by the steamer.

ANCIENT PAINTING AND MI
SIC.
Late Discoveries on the Banks
of the TibeF.
Rome Correspondence.


The ancient Roman house lately dis
covered in making the excavations on
the banks of the Tiber in the garden of
the PalazzO Farnesina is even more in
teresting than was at first supposed.
The frescnes on the walls have been
taken TO the museum of the arch9o-
logical commission in the convent of
st. Francesca Romano, but they will
soon be placed in the Museo Kircher-
ino in the Roman college. Prot. Ian
ciani in a lecture in the university of
Rome last Wednesday morning, dis
coursed on the antiquities in the bed
and ON the BANKS Of the Tiber, and said
he believed this house was formerly
dedicated TO the sale of wine. All
establishments Of q similar kind were
anciently i'll the same quarter Of the
city.
The archaologists say that no dis
covery of equal Importance has been
made for centuries in Rome. The
walls, first covered with thick coat
ing of powdered marble, and ornamen-
ted with exquisite paintings are i'll a
perfect state of preservation. They
were evidently made in that period of
Rome at the end of the republic or the
beginning Of the empire, when the art
of painting was in the greater perfec-
ton. One of these pictures is an ex-
quisite represen tation of Baechus as
child.
Near this are two limitations of the
ancient style, and there are also two
musicians playing the cithara. This is
an instrument resembling the modern
guitar in form as well in name. An
antique bas-relief in the hospital of
San Giovanni, in Laterano, also rep
resents this ancient instrument, with
cords and frets like a guitar. The
cords, however, are longer and the
space for the fiets smaller, while the
player held the thick part of the in
strument in the curve of his arm. The
Egyptians also used this instrument,
and the picture Of man playing upon
it is seen in the tOmbs of Thebes.
But this new representation Of the
cithara has value which none of those
discovered previously possess. Over
each cord of the instrument are seen
certain letters or signs which are be-
lieved to be notes, and if the learned
men of the city, succeed in reading
them, we may be able to hear Il melo-
dy composed two thousand years ago,
and sung by the merry followers OF
Bacchus-on the shoes of the Iiber.
1t is very probable that in continu-
ing the excavations, other rooms will
be discovered. Those already found
Indicate the usual form of All ancient
Roman house, which consists of an in
terror court, called the peristyle, which
was opened to the sky, surrounded by
columns, and to which the rooms in
habited by the family had access. The
bases of three columns are seen here,
AMI beyond these Is corridor one
hundred feet long and eighteen feet
wide. The room where the paintings
were found is on the right OF this pas

Cortlandt Parker, who is to be the
new Minister to Russia, was one of the
visiting statesmen to Louisiana. 1t is
to be hoped that some day all that lot
of men, even to the last one of them,
who went down and braved all the
dangers and hardships of the first class
hotels of New Orleans, with their bills
paid, to help in dismantling the
Packard Government and setting up
the illegal Nichols Government on its
ruins, may get an Office. They all
tught to have it during this Admin
istration. For it is not likely that
| there will be another Administration
| in the next thousand years that will
pay off such men for such work. 1t is
right they should be paid now, and
we trust the last of the long roll has
already been nearly reached. We
hope this, partly on account of the
visiting statesmen themselves, but
still more on account of the party.

The Eucalyptus Tree.

Certain kinds of the eucalyptus
tree, of which there are many species,
most of them indigenous to Australia,
have acquired wide reputation for
their Influence in drying marshy soils
and preventing malarial diseases.
Some 1000, 900 of them have been
planted in Algeria by the French
government, which has granted Il sub
vention to a company for planting
many more. They have been tried
as prophylactics at the Cape of Good
Hope with very beneficial results; in
Mexico, and other regions where ma
laria is prevalent. In Corsica they
have been extensively introduced, and
they have already put not less than
10000 in the fever infested districts
of Cyprus. On the miasmatic Cam
pagna about Rome, they are being
set out, and will, it is thought, have Il
most wholesome influence. The va
riety known us the Tasmanian blue
gum is one of the most effective purl-
fiers of the air, although the other
species, notably eucalyptus amygda-
lima, serve the same purpose. The
tree is valuable in many ways. Its
leaves are usually entire and leathery.
secreting much volatile aromatic oil,
and instead Of presenting their surface
horizontally, often so present their
edges, thus exposing each side to the
light. Many are called gum trees
from their resinous secretions, and
some attain great size-eight to six
teen feet in diameter. They grow
rapidly, are soft when green, so as to
be easily ftlled, split and sawed, but
get very hard when dry.
