Prince Alberts VIII and Fortune.
ILoud0n TI.uth.1

In "The Four Georges" great amazement is
expressed by Thackeray because George ii
seized his fathers will, and never would permit
it to be proved, nor was anything ever heard of
it afterward, and its suppression produced a
violent quarrel with the Royal Family of Prus-
sia. There is a long narrative in Horace Wal
poles Memoirs" about this will but it is
rather odd that after tho lapse of 134 years
precisely the same thing happened again. for
the Queen quietly took possession of Prince
Alberts will, and nothing has ever been known
of its contents to this hour, nor does any one
know the amount Of property which he left.
Tho Prince had nothing when he came to
England except f100 year, or some such paltry
sum- but he was very parsimOnious, like his
uncle, King Leopold, and l have been told that
he must have left nearly million, as he re-
ceived f655, 900 from the country, of which he
did not spend as many shillings, and certain
speculatiOns in which he engaged turned out
very profitable. / have only calculated the
Prince Consorts allowance, but he also received
large sums as military pay, and a triae of f22,-
600 as Governor of Windsor Castle, in which
sinecure Office he succeeded the Duke of Sussex
although the Duke of Wellington was anxious
to appoint a deserving nobleman who had
worked long and hard for the country.

Emigrant Babies in ImprOEised Cradles.

Saw queer thing coming in the other day
on the Fort Wayne Road" said drummer.
," There were several cars of immigrants along,
and you know how they do crowd 'em in. You
think this smoking saloon crowded, with 12 of
us in here and every man putting at his cigar;
but you just ought to have seen some of those
emigrant cars. They were loaded from door
to door, and the air in 'em was so bad that
when the door opened You see clouds of it watt
off over the homes of poor innocent unotfend
ing families. I've heard that the farmers along
the route claim the escaping air from those
emigrant cars has ruined their crops, and they
propose to sue the company for damages bnt
that may not be true. You can't believe every
thing you hear while travelling For instance
V
But the queer thing you were going to tell
US abOut?"
"Oh yes; you know these little racks on the
sides of the cars up over the seats. They are
for parcels, hats and things. But what do you
suppose those emigrants were using them for :?

Political life, of short or long duration, is
very exhausting, as is evident from the great
mortality which prevails among public men.
Ex-U. 8. Senator b. K. Bruce, who has been
long in public life, says:
The other day, when stepping into car at
crossing, found DR.. within, who eyed
me up and down in a surprised way, remark
ing:

Well, / feel pretty well, / answered"
The doctor uttered an incredulous reply,
when the Senator frankly told him, in an
swer to an inquiry, that it was Warmers safe
cure which accomplished for him what the pro-
fessiOn had failed to do. Senator Bruce says
his friends are very much astonished at this
revelation ofp9wer.-The Globe.

An Arkansaw man, who was summoned to
serve on jury, began to make excuses, when
the Judge, interrupting him, said:

fact that your business is likely to suffer is no
excuse. Such men are summoned every day"

strange transformations, until he went to sleep.
When he awoke it was daylight. He jumped
up and making careful inspection of the lines
he found half the men asleep on the ground.

slightest symptom of danger, he wrapped the
drapery of his army blanket around him and
lay down to snore By and by the soldiers be-
gan to grow weary, and seeing nothing to cause
alarm they shook up the Sergeant and asked if
they might not alter the arrangement little,
promising that no point should be left un-
guarded. He told them he didn't care so long
as they kept nine men on each side of the
square, and then rolled over and went to sleep.
After nap he awoke and thought he would

other men from camp re-enforced the boys.
They wanted to take a trick on guard with
their comrades, and the boys, after little
figuring, found that there was no trouble about
it. When the Sergeant rubbed his eyes and
