have very erroneous ideas about the charac- ter of European sovereigns, and proceeds to correct those ideas as follows: The King of Belgium and the Emperor of Austria are probably the only sovereigns whose lives are honest as husbands and fathers. The Empe- TOT of Russia's outrageous infdelities broke the heart of as true, loving and gentle wife as ever a man was blessed with The Prince of Wales is repetition of George ". The Emperor of Germany and his Empress have lived apart many years. The Queen of Prus- sia-as the Empress Augusta was in early life was too spirited woman to submit to her husbands open infdelities and too strong, mentally and physically, to go down into the grave for them. Early in their married life she resented the treatment she received so serious ly that decorous but no less positive separa- tion was the result. The famous war tele- grams of 1870 were clever manufactures of Bismarck. Every one knew that the King and Queen of Prussia only spoke and met on public occasions, when they were obliged to, as is the case now. Her Imperial Majesty has not been her husbands ''dear Augusta" since the first years of their married life. The first Queen of Holland led life of royal misery, and her successors chance is no bet ter. The wife of Victor Emmanuel, the mother of King Hnmbert, died broken heart ed, and the married life of Margaret of Sa- voy, Queen of Italy, has been a dreary, deso- late one, so far as husband, love and devotion are concerned

THE FOURTH DIMENSION
OLD MOTHER HUBBARD.

The widowed dame of Hubbard's ancient line Turned to her cupboard cornered anglewise Betwixt this wall and that, in quest of aught To satisfy the craving of Sir Tray
 Prick-eared companion of her solitude Red-spotted, dirty white, and bare of rib, Who followed at her high and pattering heels, Prayer in his eye, prayer in his sinking gait, Prayer in his pendulous, pulsating tail. Wide on its creaking jaws revolyed the door, The cupboard yawned, deep -throated, thinly set For teeth, with bottles, ancient canisters, And plates of various patterns, blue or white. Deep in the void she thrust her hooked nose, Peeping near sighted, for the wished-for bone. While her short robe of samite, tilted high, The thrifty alarming of her hose displayed. The pointed feature travelled OCT the def, Greasing its tip. but bone or bread found none. Wherefore Sir Tray abode still dinnerless, Licking his paws beneath the spinning-wheel, And meditating much on sayory meats. = Tifo Wary1

It seems that interruptions exporters of canned fruit and provisions from this coun- try to England are threatening to ruin this promising branch of our commerce. Con- signment after consignment of these goods have turned out to be rotten or otherwise worthless and in several parts of England people have been poisoned by eating canned oysters or meat. A London dealer said to a correspondent of the New York World the other day 'tAt first, everything sent from America was good. The public liked the things and we really could not get enough of them to supply the demand. But no sooner was the market established than tricks began to be played, and now am afraid to send out any new importation until I have exam ined dozens of tins at random. People are getting afraid to buy. It is always the way the first lots sent are splendid, then ship loads of trash are sent over and the business is spoiled for everybody Tbe chief losers by this kind of work will be the exporters themselves.

Frederick Marriott, the editor of the San Francisco Neacs-L Letter, thinks he has discov- cred the true secret of aerial navigation. 'sGas, electricity and steam, ,'' he says, ''have all been tried by me in attempts to build an air ship. These potent agents have failed, and it has remained for the simplest of me- chanical combinations to accomplish the tri- umph This is enough to say just now, but as sure as water finds it's own level, the thing is done" He does not say how, but promis- es early information.
 The engineering enterprise of the day seems to be running in the direction of ship canals Another project of the kind has been broached. If the Malayan peninsula were cut through, the voyage from Great Britain to China would be shortened by about six and a half days, saving very material to British commerce. As the British regard with some apprehension the possible devel- opment of our trade with China across the Pacific, it is not altogether unlikely that the Malayan scheme may be seriously taken up.
 The exodus is starting up again now that the colored men have received the wages for their fall work, and the arrivals at Topeka, Kansas, are averaging 800 per week from all parts of the South. The negroes from Texas are also coming across Indian Territory in wagons, and supplies have been sent to Inde- pendence and Columbus in southern Kansas to meet the wants of the destitute arrivals. The Kansas people are vainly trying to turn the tide toward other States, but the new ar- rivals want to settle where so many of their people have already found homes.

THE DOWS IN TEXAS.

Two years or more ago two brothers
from Scotland found their way TO Bolton,
Texas. They had little money and "were
chock full Of days works." being carpen-
ters. They worked hard, and in a short
time were able to purchase two lots Of land,
build house and shop. They then sent
for their relatives In Scotland. The night
after the rest Of the Dow family arrived In
Bolton, the brothers were visited by
number Of their fellow citizens in the form
OF q Texan mob, who took them out Of
their house, stripped them, beat them cru
ely and gave them twenty-four hours In
which to leave the country. Now that Is
nothing remarkable in Texas. Although
Bolton Is vouched for as "an intelligent
and moral community, unsurpassed In all
the world" 1t has that sectional habit OF
mobbing some Of its citizens. II the
Dows had been mere citizens Of the United
States they would have made no fuss about
the matter, well knowing that IS such In
States like Texas they have no rights In
which the Federal Government can pro-
tect them. But II it was not greatly to
the credit" or the Dows that they were
born Englishmen or Scotchmen, which
amounts TO the same thing, 1t was much
to their advantage. Instead OF submitting
to the outrage, they complained to the
British Consul and he sent the case to the
British Minister, and now Secretary Evarts
and Governor Roberts OF Texas are inter-
ested In the case, and the end Is not yet.
Being Britons they may get satisfaction.
Had they been citizens or the United States
they could have had no protection save
under the laws Of Texas, which are never
enforced to protect the weak against the
lawless.
The sole cause Of this outrage upon the
Dows by the law-abiding citizens OF Bel
ton was that they were members OF relig-
ious society called "Sancti6cationists.
They did not discuss their creed, but sim
DIV met and worshipped with little band
In that community holding similar views.
Il got abroad, however, that the "Sancti-
Hcationists" held that sanctined wife was
under no obligation TO live with an unsanc-
tined husband, and 1t happened at that
time that q woman became member Of
the society who took 1t into her head that
her husband did not possess that degree OF
sanctif,cation which would make 1t safe
for her TO live with him, and had acted
upon the conviction. The virtuous Texans
who organize mobs could not abide such
an outrage, and, a. the offender was .
woman, they pitched upon the D0ws as
proper victims upon whom TO show their
devotion to the customs Of civilized soci-
ETY. according TO the Texan code. Doubt
less II they had realized that Brit0ns had
rights which must be respected, this claw
abiding people" would have wreaked its
virtuous vengeance upon some persons
without c0gutTy-citiseDs OF the United
States. s.-DostoR J6uraal.

IS MARS lNHABITED:

There is no other planet of the solar
system. says Science for al, which offers
so close an analogy to the earth as Man.
The telescope reveals to US the figures Of
broad tracts Of land and expanses Of sea
upon his surface. The durations of his
day and night almost coincide with our
own. His exterior experiences the alter
mating changes of the seasons. His
nights are illumined by two satellites,
which present all the phenomena of our
own moon, and more frequently, owing
to their greater velocity. An atmosphere
probably surrounds the planet; in fact, the
existence of air is indispensable to his
other features. Hence the inference
that Mars is habitable globe appears a
very obvious and fair conclusion, and it
would be inconsistent to imagine that
this planet, provided apparently with all
the requisite natural facilities to render
life necessary and desirable feature of
his surface, is a sphere of desolation, a
mass Of inert matter, which, though con.
forming to the laws Of gravitation, is 9TH
erwise serving no useful end as the abode
and sustenance Of animate creatures. II
is far more in accordance with analogy
and rational speculation to conclude that
Mars is the centre Of life and activity,
and that his surface is teeming with liv-
ing beings.
