A Wandering Needle,

Salisbury, Nd, was getting into a car
riage sewing needle was by some means
forced into her thigh, but, being consid-
cred q triAing matter, little or no atten-
ton was paid to it at the time. Several
days after this occurrence, however, her
ankle panied. her very much, and on
examination it was found that the needle
was the cause Of it. In her efforts to
get it out it broke, and she only sue
ceeded in getting one part (the eye half
Of it out. The point part remained, and
two days after she felt that Just below

felt something in her throat, but the OBJ

she at last succeeded, and it proved to
be the point part Of the needle. Thus,

The Horse.

What noble servant, what splendid
and right royal gift to man, is the horsel
That fine creature is as much entitled to
kindness and forbearanoe as human
servant or friend, in all respects in which
he can appreciate it, and cruelty to him,
for aught can see, is as sinful. Who
can witness, without pity and wrath, the
blows inflicted upon that noble animal
every day in our streets, in anger or
recklessness, to force him along with q
burden too heavy for him, or to an un-
natural speed, or merely to afford vent
to the vexation, or Impotence, or ami
NAL energies Of moro brutal driver
creature, too, with skin so sentative
that fly can drive him to distraction!
His, look of gentle submission, or
sometimes of reproachfM appeal, or of
flashing indignation, is very touching to
the tender-hearted. It appeals forcibly
to the human heart, and stamps every
wanton, superfuous blow as cruel, cold
hearted sin. And many who are not
cruel-hearted, are yet thoughtless, and
commit the like outrage from sheer
thoughtlessness, forgetting that in sus-
cephbiity to pain the horse is the equal
Of the man. * \

How Knights Are Made.

In recent volume Sir Stephen Lake
man gives the following account Of his
knighting
"After few words had passed,
cushion was brought and laid before me,
and then another, on which there was
a heavy looking sword Some one be-
hind me- whispered that was to kneel
an operation by no means agreeable to
man before company. This I some
what awkwardly did, and so remained,
with my face bent toward her Males
TVS feet, expecting every moment to
feel the weight of the sword on my
shoulder to indicate that the ceremony
had begun, but nothing came. There
was dead silence. So locked up
and saw the Queen holding up the
sword and directing an inquiring glance
at some one behind my back. Who
ever that person was he was long
time in answering. It was the Earl of
Aberdeen. It was evident to me that
her Majesty could not hold the sword
over my head much longer. I asked
name her Majesty said. Stephen I
replied; and down came the sword, miss
ing the shoulder and striking the cush-
Ion. lHe ceremony, however, WAS cOln-
plete without that, for her Majesty i'm
mediately said: Arise, Sir Stephen,

kiss it, and felt in doing so that she
had not many in her wide realm who
would serve her more devotedly than I
if necessity required it.
"The cushions were removed, the
Queen graciously smiled to all around,
and left the room, and we retired to-
gether through the long corridor before
mentioned. I was standing near the
entrance to the castle door while the
Earl Of Clarendon was lighting cigar,
when the Duke of Newcastle reioined
us and said, ALLOW me to congratulate
you as Sir Stephen Lakeman, and as to
having your head still on. I thought

Where Booth Is Buried.

The Washington correspondent of the
Buffalo Commercial writes: It was only
after some patient inquiry that I could
ascertain the facts, which are interest
ing, and, so fur as know, are yet un-
published. Booth died, as will be re-
membered,, in barn in Maryland from
q wound received from the musket of
Boston Corbett. His body was brought
to Washington, and, after having been
Identified by tho court-martial before
which his fellow-co nspirators were tried,
was dissected by the Surgeon General Of
the army. The brain and heart and
some other parts of the body were pre-
served in alcohol, and are now on exhi-
bition in the medical museum of the
Surgeon Generals Office. The building
in which the assassination occurred was
Ford's Theater. The Government con-
hscated it, but afterward Ford was paid
it's full value, and it has since been used
as the headquarters of the medical corps
Of the army. The brain and heart of
Booth are in jars, standing in case
that is situated very near the actual
scene Of the assassination.
After the surgeon had done with
Booths body, it was buried in grave
in the Arsenal grounds. Only half a
dozen persons knew the exact spot,
which was unmarked. In 1867 Edwin
Booth the actor, sent Mr.. Weaver, the
sexton Of Christ's Church, Baltimore, to
Washington, with a request that the re-
mains Of his brother might be taken up
and removed to the family burial place.
After some delay the request was grant.
ed by President johnson, who was final.
y appealed to, and Mr.: Weaver took thu
buried it beside the elder Booth ani
others Of the family. The removal wa
conducted with great secrecy, and WA
concealed from Secretary Stanton, wht
had refused to give his consent.

A Million Copies : Year.

- An interviewer asked MI. Wu0Am II.
Appleton, the head Of the great publish
ing house IN New York, what was the
best selling book published BY his firm.
His answer was sWebsters Speller,'
and it has the largest sale Of any book in
the world except the Bible. We sell q
million copies year. Upon the inter-
viewer expressing his establishment at
this statement, Mr.. Appleton added:
Yes, and we have been selling it at
that rate for forty years. The year fol-
lowing the emancipation OF the slaves we
sold 1,500, 600, because every negro in
the South Thought it only necessary to
have Webster's Speller' to read. AZ
ter that year it fell back to the original
million, and has never varied. We sell
them in cases of seventy-two dozen, and
they are bought by all the large dry
goods houses and supply stores, and
furnished by them to every Cross roads
store in the country"

so as IN many places to be scarcely legi-
BILE, and on wretched paper. IF this is
not attended to, and the new one lately
advertised as coming out should be
preferable in these respects, it may hurt

Mr.. Webster probably acted upon this
hint, for the book, as we see, has held
its own to the present day. Noah Web

There was no mlstakiHg the costume,
and the fact that the venerable dame led
small boy by the hand confirmed the
immpression that Mrs. Darlington was

tary lull in the buzz of conversation,
and the party gathered around the new
conner, eager to shake her-by the hand.

OleOmargarine.

When oleomargarine was first manu-
featured we described the process, but
that was some years ago. Recent M
quiries make it necessary to cay some
thing more about it. Prepared beef
suet, the membranes, ETC., Is churned
with milk to give it the favor Of butter.
1t has not the mechanical texture Of or
the chemical composition Of, and is in
no respect, butter. So far as it is, sold.
as butter it is miserable fraud. The
makers claim that it is as good as any
butter and much better than large
share of the butter sold That is q point
with which we have nothing to do. It IS
not butter, as that is the product of the
cow, obtained through the medium Of
the milk, and contains several constit-
uents that the fat of the COW doesnot,
and which cannot be added. Several Of
the States have passed laws directing
that all the packages of oleomargarine
shall be distinctly marked with the word
in letters of given size. This is well,
so far as it goes, but does not prevent
the retailer frem serving it as butter. As
oleomargarme can be made at much less
cost than butter can be produced, the
sale Of it as butter is injurious to the
dairy interest, and every dairymanf and
every farmer is interested in preventing
its sale as butter, and to this end 9 Pc
tition is being circulated for signatures
asking Congress by general law to place
restrictions upon its manufacture and
sale. But the capitalists who have money
invested in the manufacture Of olemarga-
r;ne are not idle. They have invited the
Committee Of Agriculture Of Congress to
visit their factory they have also invited
number of prominent chemists to do
the same their guests have been steam
boated and dined and we suppose wined,
after the approved fashion. We do NOT
know what the effect Will be upon the
congressman, but we are very sure that
the chemists will say, as they might have
said before Gentlemen, your stuff is
not injurious, it is as healthy as beef-fai
need be, we see no objections, if people
wish beef-fat with their bread, why they
should not buy yours, but it is not butter
and no amount Of steamboat or banquet
can make us say that it is" We see nc
reason why colored and sailed beef-fat
or colored and sailed hogs lard, or puri
fed and sailed palm oil should not be
eaten if ones taste runs that way, but
they should not be sold as butter, o.
given out to one who asks for butter
and the penalty to one who does it SHOULD
be most severe. We notice Of late dis

Remarkable Rides.

More remarkable rides than the ia
nous ride to York are upon record. -
BY dint Of keeping constantly in the
saddle and having relay of horses all
along the road, the Prince de Lingo
contrived to cover the miles between
Vienna and Paris over five hundred,
as the crow fies-in six days. This
performance was outdone by the Count
de Maintenay, who rode the whole
distance on one horse, without dis
mounting. The Count, one of the
most accomplished horsemen of his
day, was attached to negotiate for the
hand of Mary Louise, and was deputed
to carry to his impatient master the
formal consent of the Emperor Of Aus
tria to the marriage, and the minia-
ture of the unwilling bride-elect. To
expedite his journey, six of the finest
horses in the Imperial stables were
dispatched to different places on the
route, that the Count might change
his mount; but the Hungarian road
ster he bestrode at starting went so
fast and stayed SO well that the relays
were not called into service, and the
matrimonial messenger arrived at his
destination long before he was expect
ed, but SO exhausted that he was fain
to crave permission to be seated in the
Emperor's presence as he delivered up
the all-important mission and repeat
ed the Archduchess' message to her fu-
ture lord. A jeweled snuff box, sixty
thousand francs, and the good steed he
had ridden, rewarded the count for his
expedition. The Count de Mantle
nays feat was repeated in 1874 by an
Austrian lieutenant, who undertook to
ride his horse, Caradoc, from Vienna
to Paris in fourteen days. He was
unlucky enough to loose his way in
the Black forest, and to waste seven
hours, and was further delayed by an
accident to his horse; nevertheless he
accomplished his task with more than
two hours to spare. & ~ II

Numbering. the English People.

Its to be remarked that in the first
census, and in that Of 1911, no account
was taken of the; ages Of the population,
and in 1921 the statement Of ages was
left optional. In 1881 the number of ]
males of 20 years and upward was re-
quired in 1841 this inquiry became
closer, and then there was revolt in
the female heart, and, for aught we
know, in many male heart also. An
other cause Of anxiety was a suspicion
that the ages of men were required In
order that those within certain limits
might be s. drawn for the militia" and
it is probable that many omissions were
made on this account by some members
of the family contriving not to be at
home on the night to which the census
return was applicable. But, though on
the last census night, that of P.An Sun
day, 1871, the 81, Cos enumerators were
ready to make up above s, GOO, 900 sched-
sules from that number Of families and
dodgers living in 4,259, 032 houses in ev-
cry shire in England and Wales, it may
be concluded that the %, TO-, ! 08 souls
included in the returns represented pref
ty we'll the entire population. Certainly

a vivid account OF the career OF one
Of society's notorious evil doors, by g,

There was q day when Talleyrand ar

was in the darkest hour Of the French
revolution. Pursued by the blood
Of the reign Of terror, stripped Of every
wreck Of property or power, Talleyrand
