Brilliant Marriages.

THE BIGGEST PART of the city of Lon
don is not the city as all but the borough
of Westminster, and the Duke of West
minister, the lord of the fashionable
"West End" with the richest rent-roll
of any man in England, was quietly
married recently at Holkham, in Nor
folk, the seat of the Earl of Leicester,
to young lady thirty or thirty-five
years his Junior. The bride is Miss
Catherine Cavandish, youngest sister of
the third Lord Chesham, who five years
ago married the Dukes third daughter,
and who is consequently both son in
law and brother-in-law to his Grace of
Westminster. An older sister of
the bride is the wife of the Earl
of Leicester, at whose country
house the ceremony took place. The
Dukes first wife was Lady Constance
Leveson-G Cover, daughter of the Duke
of Sutherland, and she died only eigh-
teen months ago, leaving eight children.
whose noses will possibly be more or
less disjointed byShis second marriage.
Another brilliant marriage, which at
tracted great attention in London a
few weeks ago, especially among Cath
olic families, was that of Lady Emily
Pelham Clinton, sister of the young
Duke of Newcastle. to Prince Alphonso
Doria Pamphili, youngest son of the
late Prince Philippe, whose magnificent
palace and gallery on the Co:so surpass
all the other private houses and collec.
tions in Rome. The Doria villa, beyond
the Janiculan Hill, is one of tho most
charming of the suburban resorts of the
forestieri in Rome's sunny winter wealth
er, and it was within its stone walls,
more than four miles in circuit, that
Garibaldi made his heroic stand against
the French mercenaries in 1849. Don
John, the older brother, who has held
the title for six years, is about forty
and yet unmarried, and he went on
from Rome TO act as bis brothers best
man taking also his niece, Donna Maria
Massimo, daughter of the Duke de
Rignano, to be one of the bridesmaids.
The marriage service was celebrated by
Cardinal Manning at st. Mary's Church,
and after the cermony the relatives and
special friends breakfasted with the
brides mother, who is still Duchess OF
Newcastle because her son, who sue
ceeded to the title at fifteen, is still
tower young to marry.

A sly Trap.

Mr.. White, of Newcastle, N. H., has
brood OF chickens which have the run of a
portion of the yard, the old hen being kept
shut up. The chickens are fed with
moistened meal in saucers. and when the
dough gets a little sour 1t attracts large
numbers OF flies. An observaGt toad has
evidently noticed this, and every day along
toward evening he makes his appearance
in the yard, hops to saucer, climbs in and
rolls over and over until he is covered
with meal, having done which he awaits
developments. The flies, enticed by the
smell, soon swarm around the scbeming
batrachian, and whenever one passes
within two inches or so of his nose his
tongue darts out and the fly disappears,
and this plan works so well that the toad
has taken it up as regular business. The
chickens do not manifest the least alarm
at their clumsy and big-mouthed play
mate, but seem to consider 1t quite LARK.

TIE OLD FARMHOUSE.

The easy chair, all patched with care,
Is placed by the cold hearth-stone;
With witchlng grace, in the old fireplace,
The evergreens are strewn,
And pictures hang on the whitened wall,
And the old clock ticks In the cottage hai.
More lovely still, on the window sill,
The dew-eyed flowers rest,
While midst the leaves on the moss-grown caves
The martin builds her nest,
And all day long the summer breeze
is whispering love 10 the bended trees,
over the door, all covered DER
With sack Of dark green baize,
Lays musket old, whose worth Is told
In the events OF other days;
And the powder-nask, and the hunters horn,
Have hung beside II for many morn
For years have ned with nolseless tread,
Like fairy dreams away,
And in their hight, all shorn OF Its might
father-old and gray;
And the soft winds play with the snow-whl'e hair'
And the old man sleeps IN his easy chair.
Inside the door, on the sanded door,
Light, airy, footsteps glide,
And q maiden fair, with haxen hair,
Kneels by the old mans side
An old oak wrecked by the angry storm,
While the ivv clings TO its trembling form.

on his head, his cigar removed from his
mouth, il is true, but the smoke there
of curling up into the merchants face.
He presented his letter of in reduction.
Mr.. Mitchell read it, then asked few
questions. Meanwhile his practical eye
was taking it all in-the cigar, the I'M
itatlon diamond. the large seal ring,
the flashing neckhe. He knew Ill n
twinkling where Fred Barker probably
spent his evenings, and that it would
take more money to indulge his tastes
than he could honestly earn.
To Fred's astonishment he presently
heard, Il do not think, young man,
that you are just the one We have in
mind for this place" Then before he
knew it he was bowed out.
The next boy who was admitted did
not advance with such an over conf
dent air. He held his hat In his hand
and spoke in a modest, respectful man
ner.
"Have you any recommendations"
"No, sir, L have none," David an
swered, little dejectedly. owe have
not been long in the city"
"Well, you need none, if l can trust
my eyes," Mr.. Mitchell remarked to
himself. The bright, frank face and
the manly air of the boy impressed him
most favorably; he was still more pleas
ant when he drew him into conversation
and learned what books he was lond
of, and how he was going on with his
studies evenings, although he had been
obliged to leave the high school and
earn his living.
Mr.. Mitchell had very sharp eyes
he took note of the well-brushed gar
ments, the shining boots, the snowy
collar and cuffs, the delicately clean fin
ger nails-even by such small things
as these is character read-and above
all, the look of sincerity and honesty
shined from the blue eyes.
"Wen, David" Mr.. Mitchell said
as he got up and walked backward and
forth, "what if were to tell you that
you can have the situation providing
you will work part of the Sabbath ?"
It was a most cruel test. The boy
hesitated just q moment-then he said
while the color rose and his voice chok-
ed, 81 should say, sir, that I cannot
accept it."
"Not even when your mother needs
money so badly?"
" No, sir, my mother would not use
money so earned. She has always
taught me to obey God and trust him,
come what will"
4" That has the true ring, pure gold,
said MIR. Mitchell, bringing his hand
down on David's shoulder. "My dear
boy, I want You, and do not want you
to do any work for me on the Sab
bath. I will pay you ten dollars more
a month than the last clerk received.
because am glad to find one boy out
of q hundred who remembers his moth
er's teachings, and fears to dlsobey his
Lord"

upon the zinc. In few moments it
began to turn color, then shrink as if
anxious to get away where it was cooler,
and then, in less than three minutes,
the entire surface covered by the focus
was literally melting, drop by drop. To
melt zinc requires a temperature of
oyer 700 degrees Fair. The most won
derful feature about the whole thing is
the brilliancy of the light. Each mir.
ror adds not only heat bat light. The
40 mirrors produced light more bril-
liant than an ordinary electric ight. A
hand. held so as to intercept the focus,
becomes as white as driven snow. A
white handkerchief defes ordinary sight,
and conveys but an impression of beau
tiful, impossible whiteness. 1t is as
hard to look at rs the sun itself. The
immense practical value of the inven
tion can be readily understood. Mr..
Calver's forty mirrors boil water in less
than no time, An egg placed in the
water is done hard quicker than by fire.
Meat and vegetables are cooked in 10 or
Is minutes, A half hours sunshine any
time between 8 a. m. and p. m. in the
summer will do the cooking for an or
dinary sized family for a week if neces-
sary. BY the mirrors engines can be
run, wells dug. mines worked, ore melt
ed and refined, every kind of cooking
performed, and, in short, there Is no
variety of industry in which they can
not success fully compete with mule
power, steam or electricity. There are
many curious things in connection with
Mr.. Calver's discovery. More heat can
be gotten from the mirrors in winter
than in summer, strange as it may ap-
pear, for the earth is then over 1000, 900
miles nearer the sun. Three thousand
degrees Fahr. decomposes water, and
this heat can be readily produced with
the large mirrors, 1000 of which, one
foot square. will run the largest engine
in the world. In the West the process
of concentrating the suns rays will be
of immense benefit. Statistics show that
there are over 100000 sqnare IN; les of
territory in the United States where
there is, ON an average, but one cloudy
day in a month for eight month in the
year. All the rest are clear. The heat
produced by the thousand foot.square
mirrors will do more work in 15 min
utes than can be ordinarily done in
day, and days steady work will out
strip a weeks progress by other meth
DDS.
The heat mirrors will make ice as
easily as they will melt steel, A few
large sized ones will operate a machine
large enough to usher into existence 100
tons of ice day. 1t is the intention of
the inventor to vigorously protect his
patent and to shortly begin the manu-
facture of his mirror furnaces. Probably
he will make a lot of the smaller kind,
convenient for tourists, which can be
packed away in trunk and yet large
enough to do all the cooking for the
party in few minutes.
The heat from the mirror can be
thrown long distance. Mr.. Calver says
he can make heat powerful enough to
melt the goodies of liberty on the cupola
of the capital by putting his mirrors
several squares away.

ADDRESS OF
HON. THEO. F. SlNGlSER,

|
Before the North Idaho Independent
Convention at Lewiston, October
ii, 1882.
M. President, and Gentlemen of the
Contention
| thauk you for the hon.
or conferred upon me in asking me to
appear before you today. You are
assembledhere as the representatives of
no party-representing no political
sentiment. You have no interest to
subserve in supporting a Democrat or
a Republican simply as partisan. A
higher purpose than this, SC far as your
interests, and your future welfare is
concerned, has actuated you in meet
ing here today. The question of your
annexation to Washington when that
Territory shall become State, is to
you the paramount object. The ques
ton Of political differences has been
entirely lost sight Of in the pursuit Of
annexation to the State of Washington.
| see before me representative men Of
both parties, who have come here actu
ated by but one single motive the
securing Of the annexation of the coun
ties Of Idaho, Kootenai, Nez Perez and
Shoshone to Washington, when the
same is admitted as State. l have
talked with the people on this subject
and l am convinced that you are unit
in regard to it. You have called upon
me for an expression of sentiment in
regard to annexation and for that pur-
pose appear before you. An express
sion upon this question is not new to
me. Long before / was even thought
of as candidate for Congress, and be.
fore fully understood the subject, !
expressed the opinion that if the people
Of these counties desired to be annexed
to Washington, and Washington dcsir-
ed them, could see no good reason
for refusing them permission to CO. /
am firm believer in the motto that
the twill of the people shall be the law
Of the land" Il is doctrine which
has grown out of our system of Gov
eminent, and one upon which the pros
perity aud safety Of our free institu
tions depends. Hence l am prepared
to say that the question of annexation

being the desire Of your peorle--I may
say unanimous desi-e-I am willing
to aid in securing to you that desirable
object IF / am elected to Congress,
endorsed upon this question by the
people Of North Idaho, | shall and will
use my utmost endeavors to secure for
you the full fruition of your hopes. l
will cordially cooperate with Mr..
Brents, Of Washington, to secure your
annexation when Washington is adj
mitted | will do my utmost in Con
gress, before its Committees, aud before
the Departments of Government tc
secure the success Of your measure of
annexation. | pledge myself fully,
freely and unequivocally to aid in secur-
ing for you annexation to Washington,
where from your geographical situation
you properly belong when it is admit
ted into the Union. All of your ma
terial Interests belong to Washington.
You have no community of interes,
whatever with South Idaho. What
ever of commercial or social relations
you may have are entirely connected
with Washington. North and South
Idaho are not homogen sous communi-
ties, North Idaho and Washington are.
Conceding all these points and with a
full understanding Of your location and
it will be my pleasure, if en-
dorsed by this convention, to aid and
promote the objects for which i. has
been convened In doing so l desire
to say | should be unwilling to aid in
destroying the political anatomy of
other counties, as they now exist as
part of Idaho Territory, than the four
nam I'd and which are now recognized
as Northern Idaho.
