The abolition of primoReniture
has had the greatest effect, within
the present century, in emptying
the ohateaux and castles in France.
Fortunes have 10 often been divid.
cd down that there are fewer great
incomes than there wsre among
the French sristocracy. 1t thus
happens that q French nobleman
who inhabits chateau may only
have furnished one nook in 1t, and
his roomy stables may have only
one!or two horses at the stalls. To
withstand the effects of the aboli.
tion Of primogeniture, many
French families agree to enjoy
their revenue in common. But full
chateaux, with several generations
Of relatives in them, even under
the methodical life of Frenchmen

THE following significant dis.
patch came over the wires from
Albany, N. Y, on the oath ult.:
ALBANY, May 24th.-The "h alf-
breeds" are wild over 80 signatures
to . document pledging themselves
net to 70 into the caucus with the
supporters Of Conkling and Platt,
or with the opponents of the nd.
ministration. This will defeat the
resjgning Senators. The leading
Oaudidates are Dspew and General
Wadsworth. The latter 10 ambi.
ticus aud has . fortune OF So, 900, 600.
A fortune OF $2,000.00 Will he
spend 1t? fso, and literally, we
promise him in advance any Office
he wants, unless, perchance, some
man with three millions comes
along and treads on the toes Of hls
Senatorial aspirations. Our Re-
publican friends know the value OF
coin as we'll a. other people.

WE notice that the advent Of the
revised version Of the new Testa-
mont has called forth q great IDEAL
OF interest and discussion on both
sides Of the Atlantic. In England
the revised version SCENE to meet
With considerable disfavor. but In
che United States the generality OF
Protestant clergymen appear to ac'
cspt It % an Improvement, In the
way Of translation. upon the old or
ssKine James" version. The prin-
clpal objection that we have no.
tlosd - having been brought to
bar against the new version, es-
psclally in England, is that 1t cur
tails and mars the sublimity Of
style, rhythm and poetic beauty Of
expression, and general historical
excellence Of the old version,
which has ever been regarded ~
the masterpiece Of English prose,
viewed solely as literary produce
ton. II no other objection than
this can be urged against the new
version, 1t must be admitted that
10 stands we'll the test Of criticism,
And that the American view 10
more logical than that Of our Brit.
lsh brethren. The only proper test
to apply to the new version 10 this:
Il It . more nearly true and correct
translation of the original text
than that OF King James-is 1t a
better translation than the old yer.
sion, and does 1t more truly convey
into the English tongue the real
intent and meaning Of the Sacred
Writings? That is the main quss'
tion-the only one. If 1t does that
the merits Of rhetoric which only
''tickls the ear and please the
fAncy'' may we'll be sacrificed
Truth and correctness are of mort
impertance than style In the con-
struetion of the Holy Word
Whsn . human law, relating ts
mans temporal interests, is TO be
rendered or construed, everything
10 sacrificed In favor of clear
ness, truth and correctness
Rhetoric is unthought OF. How
much more essential that the Dl'
vine law, relating to mans ever
lasting interests, should be correct

DR.. Lentz, the traveller, reports
having found singing sand In the
Sahara. At certain times be heard
low murmuring and plaintive
sounds in the sand hills of the des.
srt. These sounds would decrease
and increase in intensity, and ct
last cease. He explains the pho.
aomenon by differences in the tenn.
psrature causing the loose grains of
sand to hit against each other and
causing the air to reverberate.
Travelsrs often reported having
fancied hearing . tolIing Of distant
bells BY the side Of such sand bills,
simtlsr to the sounds produced BY
Z river or waterfall.

The province Of Adana in Asia
Minor has been thrown into q state
Of frantic excitement owing to an
unpleasant discovery that all the
cultivated land between the ports
Of Merslna and Litifghe was found
to be covered with locust eggs. The
eggs lie in compact layers and are
supposed to have been deposited by
an army of locusts that passed
through the district toward the
middle Of last year. On the state
of affairs having been made known
by telegram to the Governor, Abed.

transmitted to the authorities of
Tarsus telling thom to summon all

who could be mustered and to set
them to work to destroy the sggs.

She Gu ed Him of Swearing,

The husband of Il certain Nash.
vile lady was, before his marriage,
a furious swearer. Through the
wiIe's influence he left of this bad
habit, except Que favorite cuss
word, which clung to him under all
circumstances, aud which, to the
great anuoyance of the good wife,
he would unconsciously use every.
" here-ihe word "damn."
Several months since he arose
one cold morning, before the ser.
want came in to make the woJd
fire, aud, after "a long effort and
the trutless burning of many
matches, turned and said: "3allie,
this damn fire won't burn." To
this, the good wife earnestly said:
/" Yes, the damn wood is too green,
and the damn servant has forgot
ten to bring up any damn kindling
to start the damn fire with.' He
looked at bis wife in absolute dis
may, but ut once saw the point and
said nothing.
A longer period than usual pass
ed without the favorite expletive
being used, but later on he wanted
a basket, and said, after locking
for it: "Sallie, where has the damn
basket got TOP The wife quietly,
as if putting child to sleep, said:
"Ask the damn cook to get you the
damn basket-damn her, she keeps
it.n AS before, he said nothing,
but months have passed, and it he
damns anything it is not where she
is. She says it was like taking
quiuine, and she always went out
and washed out her mouth after
wards, but be is cured.

A Wonderful Clock

Mr.. J. ii. Henley, of Cumberland,
Md, has constructed clock Which,
for the number of figures put in
motion by its mechanism, far ex-
ceeds the model of the Strasburg
clock. The clock in its various
parts presents II complete history
of the country from the landing of
Columbus up TO the present time.
There is "A nill in motion, railroad
cars pass over a track, a bell ringer
strikes the bell, aud over a plat
form passes in succession all tho
presidents from Washington TO
Garfield. In addition there is u
miniature model of the Strasburg
clock, with all the moving figures
IN motion that tigurein the original.
On a tower a sentinel PAGES around
the circle, the American eagle
screams and flaps his wings, a lady
plays upon piano and two chill
dren see.saw in time to the motion
ton OF the pendulum. MI. Henley
has been for many years engaged
in the construction of this wonder
tul clock.

Who Go to Church.

The disparity of the sexes in
churches is placed by ZioR's Herald
at two TO ole in favor OF the
women, and the same paper also
makes the following rather start
ling statement: - If We were TO
take the churches right through
the country we should fnd that
not more than one tenth OF their
members are men in the prime OF
lite. The other nine-tenths are
women, men who have passed
their meridian aud youths who
have not reached their maturity.
1t is also TO be- observed that in al.
most every community the majori-
ty OF the energetic, enterprising
business men are not avOwed aud
active Christians; aud it they are
identified with the church at all,
it is usually ouly in the most super
ticial way"

The English physicians have
been investigating the subject of
high.he, led shoes and pronounce
them the most dangerous inven-
tions of the nineteenth century
far more deadly than dynamite Or
nitro glycerine. Not to mention
sprained ankles and liberation OF
the internal and external hgaments
of the ankle, " hieh they SO often
produce, they are responsible also,
the NJ. DIS say, for many spinal
diseases, diseases of the lungs and
a hundred other maladies. The
London Lancet indorses these medi.
cal views. 1t is said that the Peru
vian ladies are so convinced OF the
truth of these assertions that they
are actually giving up high.heeled
shoes. The fact that Paris has
given the shoes up may persuade
our ladies to abandon them, but
the advice OF all the physicians in
the world certainly would not, If
they were still the fashion.

Mrs. Washington, the mother of

George aud his father arranged Ii
large cask with some straw in the
bottom ot it, and on the top of the
straw they put some ashes and
then leached them. Mrs. Washing.
ton got her soap all ready, and In
a short time the house was filed
with that beautiful odor that be-
tokens the process of soap boiling
going on. With all her skill she
could not make the soap come. On
investigation it was discovered
that some of the ashes used were
from the cherry tree George cut
down, and no lie could be pro
dnced even from them. This shows
