has a crimson velvet cap, with ermine
border, and is lined with white silk.
Its gross weight is 80 ounces, penny
weight troy. The lower part of the
band, above the ermine border, consists
of a row of 129 pearls, and the upper
part of the band OF Il row of 112 pearls,
between which, in front of the crown, is
large sapphire (partly drilled) purchased

| been given to Edward, Prince of Wales,

Black Prince, by Don Pedro, King of
CASTLE, after the battle of Najera, near
| VittOaia, A. d. 1876. This ruby was
worn in the helmet of Henry the Fifth at
| the battle of Agincourt, A. d. 1415. 1t
is pierced quite through, after the East
ern custom, the upper part of the pierc-
ing being filled up by small ruby.

THE SALVATION ARMY.

How Its Soldiers Conduct SIeges-The
Experience of a Scribe Who Was Made
Prisoner of Christian War by Captain
Shirley and His Lady Volunteers.
Philadelphia Times. March 25.
The experience of a newspaper report
er who called at the residence of Captain
Shirley in search of information yester
day will give some idea of the methods
of the little band of jealous Christians
calling themselves the Salvation Army
who have been laboring for the convers,
ion of sinners for some months in this
city. Captain Shirley and his army live
in the neat three-story brick house No
2,046 Kresler street. a small thorough
fare running from Norris to Diamond
between Fifth and Sixth streets. A knock
at the door was answered by a small
pleasantfaced man, with a brow inclin
ing to badness. He was dressed In dark
clothing. His loOse-ftting blue sack
coat had a standing collar bound with
red and bore on each side the letter IS -
This gentleman said he was Captain
Shirley, and invited the visitor TO enter
The door opened into the front room
1t was evident that the Captain had Just
finished his dinner, for the rest of the
family were still sitting around the ia
BILE Besides Mrs Shirley there were
four young ladies. One of these was the
Captains daughter, two of them were
English girls, who came here to Labor
with Captain Shirley and his family
and one of them was an American re
cruit. These ladies' were dressed much
alike-ln black, with small, white col
lars about the throat, hair combed down
smooth on the forehead and not a sign
of an ornament about them. They all
had an appearance of goodness which
cannot be counterfeited and which is
never seen except on the faces of modest
women.

In answer to some of the questions
captain Shirley and wife and daughter
gave some account Of the origin of the
salvation army, which was, they said

IS MAPS MHARITEn2

There is no other planet of the solar
system, says Science for All, which Of
fers so close an analogy to the earth as
Mars. The telescope reveals to us the
figures of broad tracts of land and ex-
panses of sea on his surface. The dura-
lions of his day and night almost coin
eide with our own. HIS exterior expe-
riences the alternating changes of the
seasons. His nights are illunined by
two satellites, which present all the
phenomena of our own moon, and more
frequently, owing to their greater veleci-
ty- An at uosphere probably surrounds
this planet; in fact, the existence of air
is indisse lsable to his other features.
Hence tie inference that Mars is hab-
liable globe appears very obvious and
fair conclusion, and it would be Incon-
sistent to imagine that this planet, pro-
yided apparently with all the requisite
natural facilities to reader life necessa-
ry and desirable feature of his surface,
is sphere of desolation, a mass of inert
matter, which, though conforming to the
laws of gravitation, is otherwise serving
no useful end, as the abode and susie
nance of animate creatures. 1t is far
more in accordance with analogy and
rational speculation to conclude that
Mars is the center of life and activity,
and that his surface is teeming with liv
ing beings.

VIVA. tn. Records show.

We often hear it claimed that there
was just as much whisky drinking in
EInporia when there were no licensed
gin shops as there is now under the Ii
cense system. The records in the police
judges Office tell a story directly contra-
~ TO this assertion. Not only this but
they tell of the fearful increase of
crime caused by the indiscrimi
nate retail of whisky. From
April s, 1878 to April 8, 1879, during
which time there were no licensed sa-
looms in Emporia, there were just thirty
seven cases of drunkenness before the
police judge. From April g, 1879, TO
April 2, 1880, under the license system,
there were two hundred and twenty-four
cases before that officer for drunkenness,
an increase in a single year of one hun
bred and eighty-seven drunksl But this
is not all In the first named year there
were ninetytwo prosecutions before the
police judge. including those for drunk
enness. In the last year there were three
hundred and sixty-five prosecutions.

A WINTER IN RUSSIA,

st. Petersburgh is situated on parallel

of Labrador. In December the sun
rises at about o'clock in the afternoon.
About the first of September a slight
boar frost is noticed each morning, and
in less than a month a foot of snow is
upon the ground. This will be the case
whether there have been any snow
storms or not, for this light hOar frost
falls at all times, and in the clearest DAYS
its CLINT may be seen in the sunlight
About the middle of October wheels dis

more until summer. One popularity of
the Russian winter noticed by the lee
