Sharp Retorts.

A very clever reply to q somewhat
satirical remark was that given to Louis
XIV. by Cardinal Richelieu, who was a
nobleman as well as a priest. a cele-
brated Archbishop of Paris was appoint
ed p%receptor to his majesty. One day
he preached a notable sermon before
the court of France, which touched prin-
cipally upon the duties of the nobility.
"Ah," said the king to Richelieu, the
preacher has thrown q vast quantity OF
stones into your garden to-day Yes,
SIRE" answered the cardinal; land a
few have fallen into the royal park" A
courtly etiquette of expression is OBJ
servable in this answer, with which We
may presume that e royalty itself
could in nowise be offended. One OF
the most distinguished Incidents of Zim-
mermann's life was the summons which
he received to attend Frederick the
Great in his last illness in 1856. One
dav the king said to this eminent ply
stefan, You have, I presume, sir, helped
many a man into another world?' Any
ordinary person would doubtless have
been scared by SO momentous an inquiry,
and it was, in fact, q somewhat bitter
pill for the doctor, but the dose he gave
the king in return was a judi
cious mixture of truth and 4attery:
"Not so many as your majesty,
nor with so much honor to myself"
All classes of individuals, from tile high-
est to the lowest, are liable st times to
meet with q Roland for an Oliver, we
must not even exempt those shrewd
men of the world termed lawyers. A
seafaring man was called upon the
the lawyer, edo you know the plaintiff
aud defendant" After a moments
hesitation Jack declared his inability
to comprehend the meaning of these
words. "What! not know the meaning
of plaintiff and d~efendant?" continued
the energetic inquirer. can intelli-
gent fellow you must be to come here
as a witness! Can you tell me where
on board the vessel it was that that man
struck the other one?" "Certainly I
can" replied the sailor; ''It was abaft
the pinnacle" "And pray" asked the
lawyer, "what do you mean by that?"
well, that's good" responded the
witness; ''you must be a pretty fellow
to COM here as a lawyer and don't
know what abaft the pinnacle means
Atanother time a lawyer in cross ex-
aiming a witness, asked him among
other questions, where he had been on
q particular day, to which he replied
that he had been in the company of two
friends, '.Friends!" exclaimed his tor.
mentor; "two thieves, 1 suppose you
mean" They may be So" replied the
witness, dryly. ''for they are both law
yers."-Collection of Anecdotes.

Victoria's Fortune.

Her Majesty possesses an immense
fortune. The estate at Osborne is at
least five times as valuable as it was
when it was purchased by the Queen
and Prince Albert about forty years
ago. The Balmoral property of her
Majesty now extend over 80, 000 acres.
Claremont was granted to the Queen
for life in 1866, with reversion to the
country; and her Majesty purchased
the property outright three years age
for G78, 900. Probably its marked value
is not much under ESQ, 900. The Queen
also possesses some property at Coburg,
and the Princess Hohenlole left her
the Villa Hohenlohe at Baden, one of
the best residences in the place. With
regard to personal property MI. Nield
left the Queen over $500, 900, and the
property left by the Prince Consort is
believed to have amounted to nearly
f6O0, 600; but the provisions of his will
have been kept a strict secret, and the
document has never been proved. The
Queen must also have saved a vast
sum out OF her income, which has al
ways been very well managed. Since
the death of the Prince Consort
the general administration of the
Queens private affairs has been confd-
ed to Lord Sydney, who is a consum-
mate man of business. I have reas on
to believe that, in due course, applica-
ton will be made to Parliament on the
behalf of the children of the Prince and
Princess of Wales. Indeed, there is to
be a Royal message on the subject Of
Prince Albert Victor's establishment
next session. The country will not,
however, be asked to provide for the
younger members of the Royal family.
The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh
are already wealthy. and on the death
OF the Duke of SAKE Coburg Gotha they
will emigrate to Germany; but the
%Connaughts, Albanys. Christians and
~Battenbergs will look to the Queen for
provisions; and SO, also, will any of the
younger children of Princess Alice who
may happen to make poor matches. It
will be seen, therefore, that the Queen
will have plenty to do with her fortune.
large as it undoubtedly is; and although
IN the event of her Majesty's death the
country would be asked to provide for
Princess Beatrice, yet she will natural
~ occupy an important place in her
mothers will.-London Truth.

Why the Tropical Man is B1acl

An interesting communication has
been made to Nature by Surgeon-Maior
Alcock on the reason why tropical man

by means of the patches of pigment
which form their most conspicuous Gle.
ment. It is suggested that pigment
placed behind transparent sensory sur.

Well.known absorbent power of dull
black things for heat, and the in
creased activity of all living matter m
der the influence Of warmth, are points
bearing on this question. In the negro
the ~plgment-cells are placed in front of
the nerve Examinations, and here the
black pigment in the skin serves to les

States: There can no longer be any question
concerning the actual result Of the presidential
election. Grover Cleveland and Thomas a.
Hendricks have a majority Of eighteen in the
electoral college. 1t is not worth while for our
adversaries to claim the electoral vote of the
State of New York. 1t is absolutely certain that
the returns of the proper officers of election on
the night of the 4th of November showed a
decisive plurality in the state for the electors
supporting Cleveland and Hendricks.
II any different or altered returns are

are corrupt falsitications Of the records of the
State of New York, and the men aiding or abet-
ting the making of such reports are criminals.
1t is not expected that you will tamely submit

understand that you will not. Recognize at

the actual election of Cleveland and Hendricks,
