A Singular Revenge.

Prince Bismarck's traditional three
single hairs as the sole ornaments of his
massive head, have long been a favorite
subject of caricature with the Berlin
comic journals, but the Chancellor may
now recognize this characteristic of his
appearance depicted in stone over sew
eral windows in Potsdam. The owner
of these houses, according to the Aneri-
can Register, Is rich capitalist who
has worked his way up from a simple
mason, with only one disaster in his life
the loss of his only son in the Franco
PrUssian war. He regards Bismarck as
the author of the war, and therefore as
his sons murderer, and so adopts a
somewhat singular method of revenging
himself upon his enemy. Over the grave
of his son in the Potsdam Cemetery he
has erected a splendid mausoleum, sur
mounted by an owl with the face of
Prince Bismarck, three hairs and all.
On one of his houses the Bismarck
head looks over the cornice of each
window, with the three hairs represent
ed by small cannon. On another build
ing, similarly adorned, three serpents
take the place of the hairs; whilo third
house is now being built, and the capt.
talist's neighbors are eager to see what
fresh flattering ornament will be be-
slowed on the Princes head.-London

Some scientific journals propose
that men of science should be called
ssscientiates, and not s'scientists," and
that instead of using the phrase s'sci-
entific studies," we should rather en-
ploy sssciential studies" No doubt
these changes would harmonic our
expressions very closely with the Italian
scienziati and scienziali, but it is ex-
ceedingly questionable whether the
adoption of these new words would add
much to precision of statement, when
the words now in use have very definite
meanings attached to them.-PhiLadel-
