Interesting FRots.

The tomb of Edward l., who died In
1901. was opened JAM Q, 'l77O, after 469
years had elapsed His body was almost
perfect. Canute, the Dane, who crossed
over to England in 1917, was found l779
by tho workmen who repaired Winchester
Cathedral, where his body had reposed
nearly $50 years, perfectly fresh. In 1852
three Roman soldiers, fully equipped with
warlikc implements, were dug out of peat
in Ireland, where they had probable lain
1000 years. Their bodies were perfectly
fresh and plump. In the reign of James
III. Of England after the fall of the church
at Ashley, in Warwickshirc, there was taken
out tho corpse of Thomas Gray, Maj quls
of Dorset, who was buried the 10th of Octo-
Der, 1880, in the twenty secondly ear Of Hen
ry VII; ;andalthough it had lam there seven
ty-eight years. the eyes, hair, flesh, nails
and joints remained as though 1t had been
but newly buried. Robert Braybrook,
WHO was consecrated Bishop of; London in
1881, and who died in14O4, and was bur
led in st. Paul's was taken out OF his tomb
after the great fire in 1866, during the re-
pairs Of the Cathedral, and, although he
had lain there no less than 262 years, the
body was found to be firm as to skin, hair,
joints and nails. The Convent dc St. Dom.
lingo, was lately demolished in search ot
the treasure supposed to be concealed
there, and the body of Prince Rodriguez
taken out, who had been buried in 1866,

"A New Species of Monkey.

There'are now in the Alexandra Palace,
London, six live specimens of monkey
new to science, the naacacus gel4nan a
native of the mountains of Abyssinia, where
1t lives at an elevation of from 1000 to
$500 feet above the sea-level. One of these
monkeys is an adult male. 1t Is hairy over
the whole of the body, with the exception
of pink patch, free from hair on the
chest, and space around the throat of the
same color. When the animals become an
cry or excited, these pink patches turn
bright rcd. The nostrils are high up from
the upper jaw, and the upper lip is 80 mo-
bile that it is often turned up 80 as to show
the whole of the upper teeth and gums.
The tail is long and thick, and ends In a
tuft resembling somewhat lions tail. The
color of the hair is brown, except around
the breast where it Is gray. The bare part
OF the chest shows two male indications of
teats. The female has not such long hair
as the male, and on the bare spot In front
are two well-developed teats, Tho young
monkey takes one in each hand and sucks
from both at once. While these animals
have rejected all fruits, they have eaten In
dian corn and sgrass,. pulling it apart, and
making It into little balls. In their habitat
these monkeys sleep in caves, and in Lon
don they sleep in Urge box, the old male
remaining on guald near the entrance.

Two Remarkable ErIonla.

There came into Bodie Colorado, not
long ago, man who Is living evidence of
an astonishing freak of nature. There is
an episode in his history of the most as
founding and phenominal kind. This mar.
goes by the name Of John Jarboe, though
his real name is George Roberts. Upon
this change of name hangs a most wender-
full tale. Many may think the story about
to be related mere fancy sketch, but its
truth can be substantiatcd by number of
! reputable men in Bodie and IN Nevada. To
begin: In small town in Western Illinois
there lived wealthy family by the name
of Jarboe. Its members consisted Of tho
father, mother, three daughters and ono
son, christoned John. Hard by lived Mrs.
Roberts, q widow in reduced circumstances
with an only son, named George, who was
about the same age as young Jarboe. John
Jarboe and George Roberts grew up to-
gether, went TO the same school, shared
| each others pocket money and were the
| closest Of bosom friends A short time be-
fore the war broke out tho elder Jarboc died.
About the time Fort Sumter was bombarded,
young Jarboe, then lad Of sixteen sum-
mcrs, took his share of lis fathers estate
and went to the Willis of Colorado. At
Denver he opened saloon and did O thirty
ing business for years. Young Roberts
answered the first call for volunteers, and
went South with one of the first regiments
of the Illinois troops. lie served through
the war and came homo at it's close tall,
handsome youth, but with his head pre-
maturely bald. 1t must here be remarked
that John Jarboe had very dark features
and an abundance Of straight, dark hair,
while young Roberts was fair-haircd,
bluc-eycd and ruddy.cheeked blonde.
Shortly after Roberts return, from Tie war
lie received letter from Jarboc, inviting
him out to the growing City Of Denver
Roberts went, and for many years the two
friends were inseparablc. They lived at
Denver, Central City, Golden, Blackhawk,
and other places In Colorado, and always
Together. About 1878 they came West to
Utah. And now comes the strange part Of
the story. Some five years ago the two
were occupants Of a cabin In Bingham
Canon, Utah Territory--a rude log hut,
covered With q dirt roof. One night the
roof gave way and fell IN on the two friends
while asleep In bed, Early next inorning
the neighhors extricaled them from the
ruins. Both had sustained severe contu-
sions about the head, J, and were fer in1ny

It's Too Much.

| One Of the officials of Justice alley, De
troit, was lately waited OH by a man who
said his name was Smith and who volun-
| tcQred the further information that he was
about to get married. The only stumbling
| block was the fact that he would not agree
to leave off drinking lie had come to
| consult His Honor on that point and sec
/ what was advisable.
"Well, I'd promise, guess" replied the
Justice. '1t's bad habit anyhow, nnd
the sooner you break it tile better"
"Well, l guess WILL" answered tho man
and he went out. In al hour he returned
! and said:
"What do you thnk3 After promised
that, she wanted me to promise to leave off
chawin' tObacco!"
"Wcll, Id do that, too," said His Honor
cit is another bad habit and you'll feel all
the better for breaking It,"
Smith went away again, and when he re-
turned he looked twice rs solemn as a frozel,
whitc-fisl.
''And now she wants me to promise to
stop swcaring!' hc gaspcd as he foil into
chnir.
"Is sho a nice womau1" asked His
Honor.
':Shc is."
"And you truly love hcr2'

swell, then Id stop swearing. 1t is a
scnscless habit anyhow, and you lose moth :.
ing by promising"
Tho man concluded to promise and de-
parted quite happy, but when he once more
returned after all interview with the bride
elect he was mad.
'There won't be no marriage" he an
nounccd, as he sat down and pounded the
table.
'Why7 What now?"
"What now2 Why, when promised to
stop drinking, quit chawin' and leave off
swearing she said must promise to clean
up, shave up and 90 to church with her."
"And you won't do it2'

with his mental agitation, do you suppose

The Porcelain Regiment.

paper has lately been discovered in the
State archives of Saxony which contains
some curious particulars concerning tho
corps long known in the Prussian service
as the ''porcelain regiment" and from
which the present First Dmgoons and the
Third, Fourth and Fifth Regiments of
Cuirassicrs claim to have sprung. Accord
ing to tradition, the regiment was bought
by King Frederick Williamo of Prussia from
the King Of Poland for some costly porcc-
lain vases, and the document lately found
In the Saxon archives show that substan-
TALLY the tradition was correct King
Frederick William, 1t appears, possessed n
number of very beautiful and precious
specimens of porcelain, and an attempt was
made by King August II of Poland, who
was also Elector of Saxony, to purchase
some Of these through AL agent in Berlin.
King Frederick William declined to sell
any Of his porcclain but King August,
knowing his royal brothers passion for SOL
dicrs, offered him 600 dragoons without
horses, arms, equipments or officers, in ex-
change for certain pieces. The negotia-
tions were carried on by Privy Councillor
vop Marschall on behalf of Prussia, and by
Lieutenant General von Schmettau for king
August, and ended in the transfer of the
900 dragoons to the King Of Prussia, and of
number of the vases in the first place to
Dresden, were some where added to the
royal collection Of china, and others were
placed in the Johann Museum, where they
are still distinguished as the "dragoon
vases" The men were valued ut twenty
thalcrs each, and the whole regiment con-
sequently at II, 600 thalcrs: while the por-
celain given in exchange for them was con-
sdered to be worth considerably more,
though it had been purchased by the de-
ceased King Frederick for a smaller sum.

In tho slowncss of their trains tho Nor
wcglans excel the Dutch, and yet the lat
ter, for this merit or defect, according to
the time, nerves and fancy of the individual
traveller, may place themselves at the lrad
OF other European countries. But here oil
comparison ends, for while the Dutch Dos
scss but small territory sufficiently inter.
sectcd by lines, Norway, with it's great tract
of country, has scarcely any railroads at all.
Nor Is it probable that she will ever be much
better off In this respect. The land ls 80
thinly populated that railroads could never
pay. From the billy nature of tho country
their construction would cost much, while
the people are poor And lastly, tho pre-
sent mode of travelling is all they need.
Time Is of less consequence to the Norwe-
gians than to other people, because they have
less to do. They do not rush through life,
rs we do, for instance, giving to ono day
the work Of six. They breathe; the re.
mainder of the civilized world is, for tho
most part, breathless. If they have hund.
red miles to travel they can as we'll devote
week toit as half q dozen hours; or, II
they can not, they wisely stay at home. 80
that travelling In Norway ls very much what
ii was In England century ago. A little
slower and more leisurely, perhaps, now
than then, for nowhere Ii Norway will yo,,
come across the fine sight Of coach and
four, tearing up hill and down dale atsex-
press speed. The average rate of progress
Is about four miles an hour; and, do what
you will, taking one thing with another,
you can not get much, beyond this. Their
railroads, by comparison, are not much bet.

A Great Tunnel.

The announcement that project for q
tunnel through the Arlberg and a junction
OF the Austrian with the Swiss railway
system has been laid before the Austrian
Parliament causes great satisfaction in
Switzerland. and has already had favora-
bic elect on the prices of railway stock
The object of the proposed line is to
shorten the distance between Western Aus
tr:a and Eastern Switzerland, create q di-
rect traffic between the two countries, and
render them independent of the South Ger
man railways, over which 1t is now con.
Quoted. a further advantage viii be tt
enable the Austrian and Hungarian bread
stuffs to compete in Switzerland and East
ern France with corn coming from Russia
by way of Genoa and the Qothard Railway
The new line is divided into two sections
the first running from Innsbruck to Ian.
deck, the second from Landeck to Bludenz.
The former will be sevehty-two kilometres
long, aud II begun this year, as is proposed
may be completed before the end of 1882.
1t will pass along the right bank of thcInn
It's construction presents no extraordinary
engineering difficulties; the greatest gradi
cnt Is one IN ITO and the sharpcst curve
makes radius of 800 metres. The cost OF
this section 10 computed at 1900, 900 flor.
ms, equal to 105 $50 tlorins per kilometre.
The construction of tho stretch between
Landcck and Bludenz will be much moro
difficult and costly. 1t will be mountain
line from first to last. In the valley OF
Rosauna the gradient is ono in forty. The
road will cross the valley of Panznau on
vladuct Of three arches each having span
of sixty metres. The length Of this stretch
is 54.75 kilometres. the total estimated
cost 1874, 600 florins, equivalent to an
outlay per kilometre of 2l6. 800 tlorins' Ii

years from the timo of commencement
at st. Antoine, 900 metres above Landecls,
will begin the great tunnel. The point
fixed upon by the Austrian Government TO,
commencing this work is not tho one that
was chosen by Gen. Nording. who first
surveyed the ground. The tunnel, haG
his scheme been adopted, would have been
higher up the mountain, shorter, wide
enough only for single rails, and therefore
less expensive than the one finally fixed
upon. But tho Government. believing that
the Arlberg line will some day be one of the
most important in Europe, have decided
that 1t is expedient to provide every facility
for traffic Thc gradients are to be al
easy as possible, oven though tho tunnel
should be little longer, and the lines vii
be double rallied throughout it's length.
