CROWNED HEADS.
The Sod Fote OF Many Kingsy R,slers.

tjFrom the Cincinnati Saturday Night
Did you ever stop, gentle reader, in
your evenly balanced and unchecked
career as q peaceful freeman of our glo-
rious Union, to consider how fortunate
it is for you that you were not alive 500
or !, 600 years ago? Because II yon had
been living then you might, and in all
probability would, have been King or
Queen of England, il which case your
wretched existence and miserable death
would have been assured.
There was King Edmund, who, while
feasting with all his mobiles about him,
was attacked by noted robber Of the
day and stabbed to the heart. Without
p&using to inquire what the nooies were
about to permit this murder, We viii
proceed to King Edred. Edred was
bounded into Gssoluteness by a favorite,
st. Dunstan, an ambitious priest, who
was permitted to run the governmental
machine pretty much as he pleased. Ell
Wy, the successor Of Edred, inherited the
partisanship Of Brother st. Dunstan, but,
choosing to marry against st. Dunstan' 5
will, he incurred the violent displeasure
Of the man Of God, who through the in-
strumentality of Odo, then Archbishop
of Canterbury, caused the Queens face
to be burned with hot irons, ard then
carried her away to Ireland, ana finally
killed her, the shock breaking poor
King Edwy's heart.
The next King, Edgar, reigned for
seventeen years, and, strange to say,
had no trouble at all, and finally died ali
ordinary, everyday sort of death, at his
residence, No. so and so, such street,
Edgar, King of England, age 81 years,
II months and IS days. Friends of the
family invited to attend. The next to
assume the crown was Edward, who, a
very short time thereafter, was stabbed
IN the back by hireling of his mother,
Elfrlda, whose own son, EthelreG, then
succeeded to the throne. King Edmund
was murdered by one Of his mobiles !;
King Harold died from the effects Of a
shot in the eye; William Of Normandy
got bruise that led to a wretched
death; William Ii. was shot with an ar
row and killed; and SO it went, the good
Kings and Queens being killed by the
bad people, while the bad sovereigns
were put out of the way by the good
people.

THE COLUGO.

In the forests of the islands consti-
trlting the Indian Archipelago is found
curious flying animal that forms the
connecting link between the lemur and
the bat. The natives call it the colugo.
and also the "fying-fox," but it is more
like fying-monkey, as the lemurs are
cousins of the monkeys. Like the
bats, these animals sleep in the day
time, hanging from the limbs and
branches of trees, head downward; but
as evening comes on they sally forth,
often doing great harm to the fruit on
the neighboring plantations. In some
parts of Java they are so numerous
that it is found necessary to protect the
fruit-trees with huge nets. The extent
of their flights through the air is some
thing astonishing. They sometimes
drop to the ground and hop along with
a shuf1ing kind of leap, but if they are
alarmed they spring to the nearest tree
and in moment reach its top by Sc
ries of bounds. Out upon the branches
they dart, and with a rush are off into
space. Sailing through the air like
some great bird, down they go oblique-
ly, swift as an arrow, hundred and
fifty feet or more, rising again in a
graceful curve and alghting safely on
distant tree. In these great leaps they
carry their young, which cling to them,
or sometimes follow them in their
headlong fight. uttering hoarse and
piercing cries. The colugos live al
most exclusively on fruit, preferring
piantains and the young and tender
leaves of the cocoa-palm, though some
writer's aver that they have seen them
dart into the air and actually catch

YHADDEUS STEHENS.

Thaddeus Stevens was buried in the
graveyard for colored people at Lancas-
ter. He declined to lay his bones with
those who were too proud to associate
themselves even in death with the race
whose sufferings had excited his sympa-
thy. In his public conduct, in his do
nestle life, and in his testamentary ar
Engagements, he made cl or his detesta-
tion of the distinction which society had
always maintained
Stevens was certainly the great Com
moner of the war period. He was for a
while the House Of Representatives; its
action lay in his voice. Opposition
wilted before his strong will. Weaker
men, and sometimes more conscientious
men, eowed beneath his lash, and wero
driven into measures they fain would
have escaped. Gen. Garfield, for in
stance, did not believe in the constitu.
tionality of the reconstruction laws he
had, indeed, demonstrated their uncon-
stitutionality in the Supreme Court but
he voted for them under Stevens stern
command as obediently as if it had been
high treason to have an opinion of his
own. Stevens tolerated "no nonsense"
as he called it. When member Offend

which he called the service of the party,
he had no hesitation in writing to the
gentleman's constituents that he had no
further use for him, and they had better
keep him at home. He never pretended
that he thought the reconstruction laws
constitutional. On the contrary. he
candidly stated his opinion that they
were entirely "outside the constitution.
and as candidly expressed his sovereign
contempt for the intellect of any man
who supposed they were inside. His
doctrine of political necessity covered
the case. He had no notion of parlsing
to consider matters of mere legal right
when the interests he had in charge re-
quired him to go ahead.

AMERICAN EYGLISH.

A subscriber, referring to an article in

published some time since, asks what is
to be substituted for eyes, sir" and
eyes, ma'am," if these are obsolete.
Plain eyes" and "no" are at present
considered sufficient, and perfectly re-

"ma'am," in speaking to some person of

but it is not the present usage of fash
ionable society.

Girls Marry Hair and Find O,tt TVhot L,
COUers 4f1ericard.

Talk about women's being deceiv-
ing! said old Aunty Sharp. "Why ,
what are they to men? It isn't only that
they go off in the morning and don't
come back until night, and have a
chance to do anything they please al,
that time, and that they can go out all
the evening, too, and come in with a
latch-key and nobody say anything to
'em but look at the way they cover up
their faces A man wouldn't marry a
girl who never let him see her without a
mask, hut a girl marries man that has hid
den his mouth and chin from her so that
she never has had peep at 'em. You'll
see row of men all alike because they
wear side-whiskers, and another row all
alike because they wear boards, and
another with no difference at all in 'em,
because they have all mustaches.
GA man can give himself any express
sion he chooses by 6 ing to barber.
He can be altered into genteel, dashing,
serious or anything else to suit the
taste of the girl he wants and under all
that he may have the mean little mouth
of miser, or the big chin of O brute, or
a smile like Satan's. Girls never think
of it. They marry hair and find out
what it covers afterward.
GAS for me, if was girl again, and
Simeon Sharp had ever worn any hair on
his face, which he didn't, I should say
to him when he proposed: Simeon,
not until I see what you look like.
Shave smooth, and, according as you
please me then, I'll say Yes or No. I
don't believe in going to grab-bag for
a husband. [ want to know what he
really is, and how can if I never see
his mouth?"

are never initiated or cou1,terfeited. This is
especially true of family medicine and it is
positive proof that the remedy initated is of the
highest value. AS soon as it had been tested
and proved by the whole world that Hop Bltters
was the purest, bsst and most valuable family
medicine on earth, many limitations sprung up
and begap to steal the notices in which the press
and people of the country had expressed the
merits of Il. B., and in every way trying to
induce suffering invaEds to use their stuff in
stead, expecting to make money on the credit
and good name of Il. B. Many others started
nostrums put up in similar style to H. B., with
variously devised names in which the word
Hop" or Hops" were used in way to in
duce people to believe they were the same as
Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or
cures, no matter what their style or name is,
and especially those with the word "Hop'' or
Hops in their name or in any way connected
with them. or their name, are limitations or
counterfeits. Beware of them. Touch none
of them. Use nothing but genuine Hop Bit
eers, with bunch or cluster of green hops on

WHo and WHAT ARE THE GrPsrEse

HhN AND W I'LL -11CE LAE OIRSIES!
To this, I reply that they are of a
Aryan and non-Aryan stock from North
ern India, where they have been known
since prehistoric times. In their own
language they call themselves Rom,
meaning husband; but the word may
also have some affinity with ramna,
meaning to roam or wander. I believe
that [ have been the first to prove that
there is at the present day in India,
among the $50 kinds of wandering
castles of that country, which are all
Gypsies, one in particular which is there
regarded as specially Gypsy. and which
calls itself Rom, and which uses words
not collected in any other dialect, but
which are used by the Gypsies Of Syria,
Turkey and Europe This tribe is al
lied to, and is, most probably, only one
more widely wandering branch of the
Dom, who are also known as outcasts and
Gypsies. When I speak of so many
kinds of wanderers as Gypsies, and
yet not Identical with our own, I may
make my meaning clearer by saying
that, as all the tramps, peddlers, ETC.,
who roam in our roads are still not
ROmany, so of all the Indian nomads,
there is but one which in every particE
ular, especially that of language, exact
ly corresponds to those whom I have

when animals could talk" and was
about to make dinner of it. The poor
mother begged piteously for her child.
Tell me one truth" said the croco-
Gile, "and you shall have back your
baby again"
The mother thought it over and at
last said: "You will not give my child
back"
"Is that the truth you mean to tell ?"
o ked the crocodile.
Yes replied the mother.
"Then by our agreement 1 keep him, F"
added the crocodile; for if you told the
truth I am not going to give him back,
and, if it is falsehood, then I have al
SO won."
Said she: "No, you are wrong. If
told the truth, you are bound by your
promise; and if falsehood, it is not
falsehood until after you have given me
my child"

CATCHING THE sPE4KER,s EYE.

The order OF morning business in
Congress is unintelligible to strangers,
and is merely the successive recogn1-
ton, by the Speaker, of those members
who have obtained from him promise
that they can have the floor. In keep
ing these promises, the Speaker often
pays no heed to members in the front
seats who are endeavoring to attract
his attention by cries of Mister Speak
er!" in every note in the gamut, accom-
panied by frantic gest;culations, and
recognizes" some quiet person beyond
them. Il have been member of this
House three successive sessions" said
an indignant Tennesseean who had
vainly tried to obtain the floor, "and
during that time I have caught the
measles, the whooping-cough and the
influenza, but have never been able to
catch the Speakers eye" Ben: Perley
