From a THRONE TO A "HELL.p--I'm
afraid that the marriage of Monsieur
Roland Bonaparte and Miss. Blanc is
likely to lead to the suppression, be-
fore long, of the gambling tables at
Monaco. Tho young lady is the
daughter Of the proprietress of these
tables and it is hardly likely that the
French Government will, if il can
hinder it, allow millions 10 bo gained
annually at trente et qudrente and devo-
ted to Bonapartist propaganda.
When the Empire lol the Empress
spent good deal of money in subsid-
izing French newspapers. The editors
were well aware that Prince Napoleon
was not likely TO allow them to fool
him out OF bis money, and this was
mainly why they urged that Prince
Victor should DO recognized as the
Emperor in paHiJuS, instead of his
father, for the subsidies Of the Empress
would then have continued. Already
numerous petitions have been signed
by the inhabitants of the Riviera ask
ing that the Monaco hell be suppressed,
aud the marriage would give them ad.

cordance with the fitness of things
that an Empire which was the clysium

A ROMANCE IN OLD STyLE,--A nice
little romance appears in the columns
of the Springfield Republican. One OF
the rosiest maidens in that city, while
hurrying to the depot TO take train,
tripped, aud so gracefully recovered
herself as to win the admiration of a
very substantlal.looking old gentleman.
He assisted the young woman on the
train and TO seat beside himself.
Conversation followed pleasantly and
acquaintance ripened fast. On parting
at station not many miles west OF the
city the couple exchanged addresses.
The old gentleman proved to be O
wealthy Chicago merchant, who open.
cd correspondence with the heroine.
She apparently wrote as agreeably as
she talked. Letters winged their way
between the city by the river and the
city on the lake. Then came a propo.
sition-not Of marriage, but that the
worthy son Of the susceptible parent
be admitted to the correspondence.
The father gradually drew out Of the
field, and the son more than made his
place good. Then came an offer OF
marriage. IT was accepted. Three
souls are happy, brilliant wedding
and luxurious homo are in prospect,
and the railroad officials have been
greatly puzzled Of late by the number
Of Springfield girls who are stumbling,
with more or less grace, aboard trains
bound for the great and glorious West

Or hope to hear again a song so sweet
As when, one night, with slow, consenting feet,
walked with love among the August wheat;

asleep, with their arms and legs wrap

this dangerous position the brakeman
snatches a moments sleep--a short
dream perhaps of loved ones at home,

A FEW REFLECTIONS INDUCED BY THE

because each is incapable of little else
than wondering and remembering.
Yet people Of all ages and classes ad.
mire the varying motives and com

thousands OF pairs OF eyes follow the
airywanderers sin their tortuous journey
to the surface of the earth. A heavy
fall OF snow brings in its train pleasure,
pain, profit, loss, JOY, sorrow and--wet
feet 1t is safe to say that eight out
OF ten persons are glad to see the'snow
come; the minority either being dis
pleased because Of pecuniary loss or
Inconvenience, or, having been born
mature, never knowing the delights of
youth. The person who views the
storm from his house, In the perfection
Of comfort, cannot imagine tho vary.
ing emotions which it creates outside.
The fire burns brighter and the room
is more CHEEKY and pleasant when we
know the snow is falling and drifting
outside; "reminiscences of happy days

floating back to us as gently as the
flakes glide by the window and the

is living at the house Of Capt. Means,
of Milbridge, girl about nine years OF
age, whose history is remarkable. Some
time within the present year an Amer.
ican vessel called at q small island in
tho Pacific Ocean to procure water.
This island was inhabited by cannibals.
They brought aboard this little girl TO
sell for the Captains dinner, offering
to prepare her for cooking Il he would
buy. The Captain told them he would
buy her, but chose TO kill his own
meat She was bought, and the Cap.
tain afterwards meeting Capt. Means,
gave her TO him. Her complexion is
not unlike the North American In
dams, but the shape Of her face is
different, being quito round, forehead
broad, eyes large, with large teeth,
pointing somewhat outward, which
has q tendency to cause her lips to ap.
pear thick. Chin very small and re.
treating, She is OF good form, with
very small hands and feet She still
believes she will be killed and eaten,
and when strangers enter the house
she clings TO Mrs. Means, and begs Of
her not TO let them have her.

RULE OR RUIN


1t is not our intention in using the
above caption to apply its legitimate
meaning to any one in particular; but
the principle is so fully developed in
some individuals that a short editorial
may be of some benefit to those most
deeply involved in this evil. There
are very few communities without
them, they are not only to be dreaded /;
but they entail a curse on all with
whom they are associated. II is not
difficult to determine as to who they
are wherever found, they feel disposed
to do all the taking themselves and feel
lnsulted should any one present not
give attention TO their harangue Of self
praise and egotism, which IS all they,
as general thing, indulge in. lgno.
rant on all subjects of interest to, the
community at large, they indulge in
heaping vituperations and abuse upon
all who differ from them in opinion.
They have no sympathy for anything
that is good, and hence churches and
all organizationsfo for moral reform come
in for full share of their envy. Why
is all this The problem is of easy
solution because they cannot rule,
they try TO ruin. Generally speaking,
could the secrets of the family over
which they have absolute control, be
known, their tyrant would perhaps, be
much more self evident. Ii is difficult
to tell whether there is power enough
in the grace of God ever to influence
their minds for the better. One thing
is certain itscarcely ever reaches them.

trying to measure arms with Jehovah

THE SAND BLAST.
ITS WONDERFUL POWER IN CUTTING
AWAY GLASS AND STONE.

Among the wonderful and useful in.
ventions of the times is the common
sand blast Suppose you desire a piece
Of marble for gravestone. You cover
the stone with sheet of wax no thick
or than wafer then you cut in the
wax the name, date &C., leaving the
marble exposed. Now pass ii under
the blast, and the sand will cut it away.
Remove the wax, and you have the
raised letters. Take piece of French
plate glass, say two feet by six, cover
II with fine lace, and pass 1t under the
blast, and not a thread of ihe lace will
be injured, but the sand will cut deep
into the glass wherever it is not cover
cd by the lace. Now remove the lace,
and you have every delicate and beau
tiful figure raised upon the glass. In
this way beautiful figures of all kinds
are cut in glass and at small expense.
The workmen can hold their hands
under the blast without harm, even
when it is rapidly cutting away the
hardest glass, iron or stone, but they
must look out for finger nails, for they
will be whitfield off right hastily, If
they put 90 steel thimbles to protect
the nails it will do little good, for the
sand will soon whittle them away but
if they wrap piece of soft cotton
around them they are safe You will
at once see the philosophy of it. The
sand whttles away and destroys any
hard substance--even glass--but docs
not affect substances that are soft and
yielding, like wax, cotton or fine lace,
or even the human hand.
