INFLUENCE OF TRIPLES.
One Glass of Wine Changed the History of
Great Nation.

There is d certain amount of amuse-
ment, and even information, to be gained
in specializing on what might have occur
red but for some more or less trsfing
circumstances, says writer in Lippincotr' 5
Magazine. IF the nose of Cleopatra had
been shorter says Pascal, boldly, 1.-THE
whole face of the earth would have been
different. "A common soldier" says
Edmund Burke, "a child, a girl at the
door of an inn, have changed the face of
fortune, and almost Of nature. A glass of
wine too much is said to have turned the
course of French history. The son and
heir of Louis Philippe always confined
himself to a certain number of glasses, be-
cause he knew that beyond that number he
was sure to get drunk On certain morn
ing he forgot 10 count the glasses and
drank one more than usual. Entering
his carriage he stun bled; the frightened
horses ran away; the young prince leaped
out of the carriage, struck his head against
the pavement, and vas killed. The ex-
ira glass of wine overthrow the Orleans
rule, confscated the property OF the family,
and sent them into exile.

tween the chiefs of the native tribes of the
peninsula and the Russian government. to
obtain the arrest of the fugitives and their
detention until he should be prepared to
take them back to Iakoutsk!
He had come to believe that this was
feasible. In consequence, he was about
to use the authority Of the Car, more nom
inal than real, at first. for the benefit OF
Yegor and mis- companions. If ne succeeded.
the fugitives would afterwards be at his
discretion.
Such were the reasons for his Interior

When the two adversaries became in a
measure calm. Yermac with the aid of the
Yakoute interpreter, declared to the kama
kay that the Russian law prohibited the
subjects of the Gar from having more than
one wife. and that, besides, the violent act
of which he had been guilty in abducting the
young girl whom they had found in his tent
was liable TO severe punishment.

Sanchez was not popular with the
citizens OF Tegucigal pa, and the svm-

everybody was grieving over the death

Gigantic Castles, Breastworks and Other
Interesting Evidences Found in Poly
nesia.
A recent number of the Atlantic Review
contains remarkable account of NJ. H.
B. SterndaIe of the Cyclopean remains in
Polynesia. They are more numerous and
extensive than is imagined, and some
times include gigantic defensive works
In the island of Lele, for example, in the
Seniavines g degrees south latitude, $50
east longitude), "a volcanic island has
been scarped and walled to the summit
while on the neighbofing shore is a wilder
ness o. ruinous castles, the walls in some
cases twelve feet thick and from thirty feet
to forty feet in height They are in the
form of paralleiograms 200 feet by 100
feet, some very much larger. Many of
them are erected upon islands entirely ar
tifcial, surrounded by canals lined with
stone, crossing each other at right angles,
into which the tide flows" Mr. Stern
dale's theory is that early Hindus reached
not only Polynesia but Central America,
ard he points to the use by Polynesians of
the word Meru for paradise and the
word dewa for ''spirit,f as distinct evil
dence of this truth, which it would be if
there were many such words. This sub
ject needs much more careful inquiry,
and we rather wonder that, with so many
miliionaires seeking occupation, it has
not been the object of a special rxpedition,
which would not be very costly, and would
be, to yachtmen tired of the uproar,
most interesting. The evidence that the
races of Southern Asia in their most vigor-
Gus time made long voyages and then
abandoned maritime enterprise begins
rapidly to accumulate. They must have
steered by the sun and stars; but so did
the pirates of the north.
