The Youth Of King Louis.

An honest and enlightened King, Maxi milan H., was in private life not particular ly genial, and both his sons, Louis and Otto, had been brought up with great strictness and simplicity. Their father allowed them no pocket money but what they earned by good marks at their lessons-on the modest scale of one pfenning per mark-and he would fine them thaler without compunc- ton if they were reported idle. Their table was more frugal than that of the sons of most country gentlemen. When Louis at tained his majority at eighteen he was pro- vided with an establishment of his own, and sat down on the first day of his emancipa- tion to his usual dinner-one dish of meat and some cheese: "Am I now my own mas ter7" he asked with smile of his servants. "Yes, sir," was the answer. "Then you may bring me some chicken and 8 mehtspie- sen (pudding)."
 The famous Dr. Dollinger was one of the tutors who exercised the happiest influence on Prince Louis Giving general direction to his pupils studies, the learned and able chuIchman acted on the principle that the future King ought to know little of every thing, and to choose for himself the one or two subjects which he would like to study GuOIOuSuIy A40 AdS OlIou Sdlu1 uOW0N0r, that he was disconcerted by the ardor with which the prince applied himself to every branch of study except political economy and mathematics. Quick at learning languages ancient or modern; passionately fond of history, deeply interested in theology and intelligent in his comprehension of books re- lating to the science of war, Prince Louis was equally assiduous in his music and drawing lessons and in all corporal exercises. He learned to drill smartly, became grace full fencer and bold rider. But the sensi- tiveness of his character was shown by the deep modification he experienced whenever he met with any mishap in his athletics which exposed him to rid1cule-and the dread of this ridicule caused him to go to she riding school or the gynnastic room with a much more serious face than he wore when sitting down to his books. In thia, as in many other things, he was the opposite of ordinary young men. Once when he had rolled off his horse into the sawdust of the riding school his military tutor, Colonel Heckel, laughed. Prince Louis turned to him with white face and said:
 'Pray, teach me: Colonel, to fall in way that shall not be comical. There ought to be nothing laughable in an accident which might happen even to g good rider before a hundred thousand mem

WAmLIKE soUTMRRNERs.


 | It is interesting to see how the Mexican question is viewed in the South. Many of the newspapers in that region are for wip- ing out the insult in blood. The Atlanta Constitution is among the number. It wants to go into war with Mexico because the Unit ed States is crowded; the ''bettsr class of our public lands" have been disposed of; our people are bowling "southward, hoi" We are losing the power of rssenting insults and need little training in ill-tsmper and bel ligerency. Moreover, the Constitution is for giving our anarchists and outlaws some better occupation than overturning the laws of the United States and Chicago policemen. It desires to hurl the Mosts and the Parsons against the "Greasers.' It favors also the using up of our army of tramps in war with Mexico.
 The Louisville Courier Journal rises to re- mark that Eff call for volunteers to wipe out the Gringoes were issued million of men would rise to arms in the southern and western States alone. If men should be af- terward wanted million more would re- spond." The New Orleans Picayune an- nounces that "Mr. Cutting must be surren- dsred, or there will be war" The New Or leans States says: In the present Mexican question it looks as if the administration is trying to find out and to be guided by the sentiment of the North and East. It takes 1t for granted that the South is always in hand, and can be manipulated as the occa- sion requires. There is good reason te be- lieve that the South will some day show the administration that it heartily and very em- phatically renouncss the influences that gov ern it, and will stand on the proper ground.
 And so forth and so on. It used to be thought by some that Mexico would have sympathy from the South if she got into trouble with this country. It now looks as if the southerners were ''just aching" for chance to get at the Greasers.

Jackson and the Veteran.


 the National Metropolis"
 Removals from office that places might be provided for Jackson men were the order of the day, but President Jackson was not dis posed to displace any veteran soldier. Among other victims designated for removal by the politicians was General Solomon Van Rensselaer,, whose gallant services against Great Britain in the war of 1872 had been rewarded by an election to the House of Representatives, followed by his appoint ment as postmaster of Albany. He was a decided Federalist and the petition for his removal was headed by Martin Van Buren and Silas Wright.
 Visiting Washington, General Van Rens- selaer received cordial greeting from Gene ral Jackson at public reception, and then taking 8 seat in the corner he waited until the room was cleared, when he again ap- preached the President, saying: General Jackson, have come here to talk to you about my office. The politicians want to take it from me and they know I have noth- ing else to live upon" The President made no reply till the aged postmaster began to take off his coat in the most excited manner, when Old Hickory broke out with the in- quiry: "What in heavens name are you go- ing to do2 Why do you take off your coat here?" "Well, sir am going to show you my wounds which received in fighting for my country against the Englishl' s'Put it on at once, sirl' was the reply; 'I am sur prised that & man of your age should make such an exhibition of himself" :" and the eyes of the iron President were sufused with tears, as without another word he bade his ancient foe good evening.
 The next day Messrs. Van Buren and Wright called at the White House and were shown up into the Presidents room, where they found him smoking a clay pipe. MT. Wright soon commenced to solicit the remo- val of General Van Rensselaer,, asserting that he had been known as very active ad vocate of John Quincy Adams; that he had literally forfeited his place by his earnest opposition to the Jackson men, and that if he were not removed the new administration would be seriously injured. He had hardly finished the last sentence when Jackson sprang to his feet, flung his pipe into the fire and exclaimed with great vehemence, 'tI take the consequences, sirl I take the con- ssquences By the eternal! I will not re- move the old man! I cannot remove him! Why, MT. Wright, do you not know that he carries more than pound of British lead in his body!" That settled the question and General Van Rensselaer, remained undis- turbed as postmaster at Albany through the Jackson administration, although Martin Van Buren, when he came into power, promptly "bounced" him.

The amount of matter in solution annual ly poured into the Gulf of Mexico by the Mis- sissippi is estimated at 150, 100000 tons, at which rate one foot of land over the whole basin would be removed in 4.000 years. Sim liar calculations applied to the St. Lawrence, La Plata and the Amazon reach the result that 100 tons per square mile are removed from the American continent every year. Again, it is calculated that not less than one cubic mile of earth is deposited every year in the Atlantic from America, Africa, Europe and Asia.

A correspondent of the Mining and Seien- tifc Press calls attention to the unusually high fneness or value of the gold found in the mines of Tuolumne county, California higher than that of any other gold or quartz mine in any country, it is claimed. The ineness of the gold from one of these mines is stated to be .983, or $20 35 per ounce, and that from the other is .9501S, or $19.64 per ounce. When it is considered that the value of chemically pure gold, one. thousand fine, is $20.671s per ounce, the close approach to absolute purity of the gold found in these mines is remarkable

An English court has decided that home for lost dogs is a charity. The judge said that an institution for the benefit of domes- tic animals is so far for the benefit of the human race, who are served by them, as to fall within the reasoning of Lord Chan cellor Cranworth in the case of London uni versity against Narrow. In that case it was decided that 8 bequest for founding and maintaining an institution for studying and trying to cure maladies of any quadrupeds or birds useful to man is 8 good charitable bequest. "Surely," remarked Justice Kay, 'of all animals useful to man and domesti- cated in his service dogs hold the foremost place."

 Chewing Gum by the Ton.
 From the Cleveland Plaindeaier.l
 day or two ago my wayward feet carried my body into the suburbs and to a chewing gum factory. There I got some idea of an industry that thrives on penny sales and the remorseless energy of American jaws. In the place saw half dozen blocks of mar ble gum or petroleum wax. Each weighed about one hundred pounds and was almost like pure penteliean stone, dear to the old sculptors heart and hand. And it was ab- solutely clean and odorless. A few weeks ago the stuff laid in of the huge tanks near the oil wells of Pennsylvania, 8 dirty, greenish-brown fluid, with the consistency of bad mud and the bad smell of glue fac tory. Then it was crude oil, but since then it had been in a turmoil and through ''stir- ring times" and chemical processes. From it had been extracted lot of kerosene, al- most as much naphtha, not little benzine, plenty of tar and lot of valuable but tech nically named affairs that are out of reach. AnySway the gum wax was left and it was in that saw, clean an ideal farmers bed chamber and as odorless as civil service re- formers record. Before it became the chew ing gum of our friends it had to be melted, favored, sweetened and ''put up'' in fanciful hun would appear in five thousand penny cakes, and am told that about five hundred of these one hundred pound blocks are used in each week of the history of Columbia, ''the gum of the ocean," etc. It's tough-the fact not the gum.

 NEW YORK, March I7.-The failure to find any trace of the schooner which is reported to have collided with the Or. egon is net regarded as strange. The testimony of the passengers is that jus, before sinking, there was terrible noise, resembling the noise following a dis charge of artillery. The mysterious man. ner of the officers of the Oregon and the extreme reticence of the passengers, to. gether with the reported explosive noise and the great damage done to the steamer, has given rise to rumor that the disaster was caused by torpedo or dynamite concealed in the vessel and placed there to do much deadlier work than the sink. ing of the vessel.

Much interest ard curiosity exists in the Territery, in regard to the probability of the confirmation, by the Senate, of the Federal officials appointed by Cleveland. So far, only two have been con6rned-- Terrjtoyial Secretary Bayard and Sur veyor General Hise. Those still to be conhrmo anon Judges Barnes, Shields ando 1 Governor Zulick, U. S. At torney Rouse and U. S. Marshal Meade, Ex-Jsdge Pinney has already commenced fight against his removal, based on the asserted lack of power of re. moval of Territorial judges by the President. A bitter fight is being waged against Marshal Meade, long string of charges having been preferred against him, particulars of which have already been given in the EPITApH. Quiet but persistent efforts are alss being made to prevent the confirmation of Governor Zulick, chiefly on the ground of his con nection with certain Sonora mining en terprise. It therefore looks, at present, rather doubtful whether all or a majority of our Federal officials will receive the necessary Senatorial endorsement.
