Oriyin OF the HOhenzOllerns.

The dynasty of the HOhenZOllernS IN
Prussia has a greater antiquity than any
other of the chief reigning houses of
Europe; for, although they did not re-
ceive their sceptre at the hands OF Sigis-
mond until the early part of the Fit
teenth Century, they have transmitted
it, without interruption and without
dispute, during the whole subsequent
period. How different within that time
have been the fortunes of many other
royal houses! In England the succession
has been so often changed by force and
BY law that the principle Of hereditary
right is become a mere tradition OF Tory
jurists. The quarrels of rival ~pretenders
in Spain have wasted the splendid
legacy of Ferdinand and Isabella. The
Bourbons have twice acquired and
twice lost the throne of France. The
ancestors of the Romanoffs had just be-
come domiciled in Russia rs subjects of
the Tartar Cars, the Turks were still
besieging Constantinople, and the fam
ily Of Hapsburg-Lorraine had not en-
tered the peerage of Europe. when
Burgerave Frederic of Hohenzollern
became Margrave and Elector OF Bran
OenDurg.
The family take their name from the
heights of Observation-Disclosures
ancestral seat in the Suabian Alps; and
they first appear in positive history
about the time that the Emperor Henry
w. was making his penitent pilgrimage
to the papal court at CanOssa. Beyond
this all is conjecture. But conjecture
is free; and while the loyal and learned
DIR. Cernitius. the first biographer OF
the race, connects his heroes with
the noble Italian family of COlOnna,
| the Elector Albert Achilles, more am
| bilious and less prudent, boldly placed
his ancestors among the fugitives who
| followed Eneas from Troy. AS a myth
this is perhaps a good As any other;
but the historian can trace the house
back safely only about eight hundred
years. or to the middle of the eleventh
century. A hundred years later the
Count of Zollern became. by a fortunate
marriage. Burggrave of Nuremberg.
The family thus reunited extensive
possessions throughout Germany; and
though not Electors, the Counts were
grandees. and powerful grandees. OF
the Empire. What their own cOntem-
poraries thought of them is fortunately
not overwhelmingly, because i,
leaves their P%anegyrists at liberty to
ascribe t o them all manner of virtues
fidelity, moderation, courage, piety,
even learning; while it is notorious that
their ~neighbors were brawling and
disSolute barons, robbing peasants and
traders, flaying Jews, and transferring
their feudal allegiance with polite
fidelity from n pretender to another
in the Empire. But the remarkable
virtues of this family were not long pre-
served under the control of a single
head. The two sons of Frederic, frs,
Burggrave of Nuremberg. made
partition of their inheritance, one O
them retaining Nuremberg and thu
burggraviate; the other. the older pos
sessions in Suabia. 1t is from the frs
of these that the present royal famil,
of Prussia is descended, the line beins

A Scientific BRIDEGROOM.

Sir John Lubbock is . justly dis
tinguished English scientist. He is the
member of a wealthy London banking
firm, but he has devoted all his spare
time to investigations into the opera
tons of nature, and his contributions to
a knowledge of the world we live in are
of the very highest value. Attention is
attracted to him Just now because OF his
marriage to 4 beautiful young girl-a
Miss Fox Pitt, the granddaughter of .
peer.
Sir John is fifty years of age. ex-
tremely honely, and is a martyr to the
govt. The fashionable world is won
| dering what his attaction can be to a
rich, beautiful, young noble woman.
The bridegrOom's most notable recent
feat is the experiments he has under
taken to teach a dog to read. He has
trained m animal to distinguish be-
tween written cards. One of these. for
instance, has the words 81 want to
eat" or Il want to drink" or 81
would like to 60 out" and the like.
These cards are all alike except the
lettering, and the dog can indicate his
wishes by picking up some particular
card and bringing it to his master. Sir
John Lubbock also thinks it is feasible
to teach certain animals to talk, or,
perhaps, it would be more correct to
say. to give some indication by the
sounds they can utter of what they
wasn't done. BY %cultivating the vocal
organs and the intelligence, he suspects
that in the course of generations,
horses. dogs and other large Drained
animals may develop marvelouSly in
the direction of what might be called
the language of beasts. All the won.
derful varieties of dog have been
evolved. it is supposed, from some va
ration of the wolf. In view of the prog
ress they have made, what might not be
expected if the education Of a particular
breed of dog was continued generation
after generation by some of the wises'
scientists of the age? In studying the
ways of ants, Sir John Lubbock discov'
cred some facts which make him think
that these wonderful little insects have
a r%udimentary religious sense. That i
to say, they have an object of worship
The god of their admiration is a Pc
culiar kind of black .eetle. He foune

curious one. but it has not yet been &C

COCKS IN 4 PIT,
A Bloody Battle Between Two Game
Birds-How u Fight is Conducted,

biros-hoW fight IL tobuucteus
More than 50 representatives OF the
local sporting fraternity witnessed long
and gamey battle between two Whining
ton-bred cocks, within miles OF this city
Thursday night. The affair was known
only to those who take interest in this
kind Of sport, and an admission lee OF 10
cents was charged to the apartment
wherein the pit was arranged. The pit
was 10 fee. square and made of boards,
with bottom of fresh earth. The sides
were about two feet high. 1t answers the
double purpose of preventing the crowd
from rushing in on the birds, and of
keeping the stays tok ether.
Both birds were bright brass backs,
and to the crowd were known as Sullivan
and Sayers. Sullivan had the advan-
tage in hight and weight, while Sayers
was the more sails of the two.
The birds were clipped and heeled fog
the fight and both were in such excellent
condition that no odds were given for a
choice in the betting at the outset. The
clipping process consists Of cutting the
feathers oif the back part Of the stags,
leaving but few OF the heavier quills in
the tail. From the wings were clipped
gave the birds greater power in making
an attack. The long feathers were
clipped from the necks Of the birds ami
| the heels were put on. What is known
a. heels in the parlauce of the cock
tighter are long sharp. pointed gstis, fas
tened on the birds feet just wheTe the
| natural spurs grow. They are set at an
inclining angle OF about 50 degrees, and
are the birds most effective weapons of
| attack. The cocks, when mad ready,
were carried to the pit by their handlers
aud toyed with until both showed great
anxiety to fight. They were then dropped
and the fight began. Flying together in
the centre Of the pit, the cock fought
without either gaining point for several
moments. Sullivan then made q fierce
jump at his opponent and GATED him
through the head The birds were
separated again and given breathing
| spell Of about one minute, when both
we're dropped. Ssyers made the advances
but was fought despeI ately by Sullivan,
who soon after had an eye gated out. In
the next battle, the big bird retaliated
and stuck his gsf through through the
small cocks head, who suffered the loss
of an optic. In the next few
battles, each bird planted a
gatf in his antagonists head, and both
cocks showed their severe punishment iu
the blood which dropped from his gati
wounds, Ths large bird WAS almost
played out and 10 several OF the lsst bat
ties lacked strength to make an attempt
and only fought in defense. 10 the last
ive,he refused to even act in defense and
the victorious bird stood on the wing of
the prostrate Sullivan watching for him
to come to the scratch aud as be did not
the judges decided that SayeIs had won.
The cocks We're carried from tue pit
bleeding from their numerous gsf wounds
in the head aud body ; ths vauquished d
bird showing but very slight signs OF life,
The fight lasted over 90 minutes aud
was pronounced one Of the best seen in
this city for long time.
