A Remarkable Monument.

One of the most remarkable monu-
ments in America is in San Luis
Obispo County. Southern California A
great rock rises $50 feet above the plain
of Carissa, and in the distance looks
rugged and forbidding. On near ap-
proach it is seen to have on its eastern
side an opening 25 feet broad, which
leads into an inner temple or court.
with level floor 225 feet long and 125
feet broad at its widest part. The CELL
ing is 80 to 100 feet high. This great
natural cathedral is wonder to geolo-
gists, but it is more wonderful TO ar
ch@ologists. 1t was evidently used by
prehistoric men as temple of worship
or a capitol OF government. On the walls
are paintings in red, white and black.
doubtless having a meaning. There
are figures representing fields, suns.
forts, spears, men and animals. The
colors are apparently as bright as when
laid on. The wonder was discovered
by Franciscan missionaries 100 years ago.
and therS has been no change in its ap-
pearance since. When or by whom the
walls were decorated no one knows.
The Indian tribes had no tradition con-
cerning the work, and regarded it with
superstitious reverence. - Pittsburgh

TITLES OF KINGS.
Origin of Some of the Lofty AppelIationa
They Go BY.

They Go BY.
OF the titles by which Christian Kings
have been addressed, majesty seems to
claim the most antiquity, though in
early times many great men were ad-
dressed as majesty, nor does it appear
that till about the beginning of the If
teenth century Kings claimed to be
alone truly majestic. The older titles
were grace, grandeur, serenity, with
highness, celestitude or altitude thrown
in as subsidiary compliments. The very
superb title of Imperial Majesty was
first claimed by the proud Emperor
Charles the Fifth, while the title Royal
Majesty seems to have first caught the
fancy of a French King about A. d. 1854
Highness was an invention of Roman
Emperor, and continued popular with q
variety of Christian Kings; but the title
Royal Highness is quite a modern dis
covery, not earlier than the time Of the
French Louis XIII. Louis XIV. pre-
sented that title to his nephews, while
the title Prince first, of course, the Ro-
man princeps) was much used, though
in Latin, thousand years ago. As to
quite modern titles, Monsigneur was
the title of only one parsonage, the
French Dauphin, but soon came to be
extended to the French prelates, and as
to the three adjectives excellent emil
nent and august, the first once belonged
to Kings alone; the second, originally
reserved for royal personages, was be-
slowed by Urban Will upon the Cardi-
mails, while august with its fctionsl
handmade perpetual, was an invention
of some German neutrality-suspicious.

Miscellaneous.

THE following is the full text of the Viii.
son bill, which has passed the Senate. A
similar bill passed the Senate two years
ago, but was defeated in the House:
Section /. Be it enacted by the Legisla-
lure of the State of Mississippi, That all
parts of acts that exempt the property of
corporations for pecuniary profits in this
State from taxation, be and the same is
hereby repealed; provided, that nothing
herein contained shall be construed to re-
peal chapter 40 Of the acts of 1882, entitled
an act to encourage the establishment OF
factories in this State and to exempt them
from taxation.
TWENTY FIVE miles of the Clarksdale
branch of the Louisville, New Orleans &
Texas Road from Clarksdale south toward
Yazoo City, has been graded, and it is re-
ported that the right of way has been Sc
cured as far as Yazoo City, but it has not
vet been decided to continue the line as far
south as that city.
The Board Of Supervisors of Warren
county will request the Legislature to pass
an act authorizing the issue of 8 per cent.
bonds to be expended in building iron
bridges, in amounts not exceeding 1000
per annun, also to create the office Of gen.
eral road supervisor. The county is very
prosperous financially and has reduced its
debt so per cent. in the past four years. 1t
owes only $4,000 in bonds, and has nearly
$4,000 in the treasury.
THERE Is more than a bare possibility,
that at no distant day a railroad will be
constructed from Sheffield, Ala, to Absr-
deem, Miss. running through the Russell.
Vile Valley, which abounds in coal and
iron of the best quality. Manufacturers
are turning their attention to Aberdeen,
and surely no place in Mississippi can and
does offer greater Inducements, in cheap
fuel, inexhaustible timber Of the finest and
best varieties, good railroad and water
faculties, and there is no better sgricul
turalsection in our Southern country.
A BILL win be presented to the Legisla.
ture establishing new judicial district to
consist Of Warren, Sharkey and Issaquena
counties, and possibly sunhower also.

ROYAL PRETENDER JUGGED.
The Duke of Orleans Suddenly Makes His
Appearance in Paris and is Promptly Ar
rested.

The Duke of Orleans Suddenly Makes His
Appearance in Paris and is Promptly Ar
rested.
PARIS, Feb. S.-By prompt action the
Government has nipped in the bud what
was apparently intended to be Royal
coup detdt, modelled after Louis Ma
poleon's descent upon BoulOgne, and the
consequence is that the Duke of Or
leans, the eldest son of the Count of
Paris, is in custody.
The Duke arrived in Paris yesterday
bearing letter written and signed by
the Comte de Paris announcing to the
faithful and to all others the Counts
abdication. He also had with him a
manifesto addressed to the people of
France. Nominally, and according to
the theory of pretenders, pretender is
always a king; and therefore the
Count of Paris abdicated the throne he
never possessed. He consequently abb
dicated his claim as pretender, and in
virtue of this abdication, all his claims,
rights and titles descend to his eldest
son, the young man now in the hands of
the authorities, Philippe Louis Robert,
Due d'Orleans, who is therefore not
merely one of many Princes, but the ac-
tual pretender to the throne by virtue
of his claims as the heir of Louis
Philippe and also of the old Bourbon
line.
The Dukes coming into the country
in violation of the law banishing all the
heads and direct heirs of reigning fam
lilies is a rash escapade if it stands
alone, but the fact that he was equipped
with an appeal to the Nation showed
his intention and may make that escap-
ade serious for him. If it should de-
velop that this movement is made in
virtue of an understanding with the
partisans of the monarchy in France it
may be more than mere violation of
the law of expulsion.
Further disposition of the case will,
of course, depend upon whether it is
discovered that there was any plot for
general Royalist movement behind this
incident.

PITTsBURGH, Pa, Feb. S.-The worst
storm in years has been raging through
out Western Pennsylvania since noon
yesterday. Snow, wind and hail have
been playing havoc. In this city no
damage was done by the wind, but the
snow and slush has blockaded many of
the streets and stopped street car traffic,
while telegraph and telephone lines are
breaking down under the heavy weight
of the ice with which they are coated. In
the mountains the storm is raging with
terrific fury, and reports are coming in
of serious damage to property.
At Blairsville the large glass factory
was demolished by the wind, the roof
being blown off and the two side walls
fronting east falling in. Charles f.
Barr, general manager, and William
Burney, one of the firm, were instantly
killed and a workman whose name
could not be learned injured. Mr..

of the church, it is feared, is so badly
shattered it will have to be torn down.
The roof of the large new building
lately erected by the Pennsylvania Con-
structiOn Company, below the town, was
also blown off. A horse and wagon
driven by James Rush was blown over
Gray's hill. No one was seriously hurt.

nearly demolished, as were also Joseph
Frankenbury's and John w. Ringers
houses.
None of the coke works are running

The American Hog.

WASHINGTON, Feb. s.-Secretary Rusk
recently made an urgent remonstrance
through Secretary Blaine against the i'm
position by the Mexican Government Of
irksome quarantine regulations in regard
to American hogs and yesterday was in
formed that telegram had been re-
ceived from United States Minister
Ryan imparting the information that
the Government of Mexico would
issue orders without delay recalling
the obnoxious regulations. Secretary
Rusk is much gratified at the removal
of this restriction and regards it as
being possibly forerunner of more
liberal policy in regard to American
meat products on the part of other for
eign countries--a change of policy which
he thinks would be facilitated should
Congress confer upon him full powers in
the matter regarding meat inspection.

The Output of Diamonds.

Twenty years ago diamonds were al

that these, cut into /. 900, 600 carats, have

amount which, no matter what the price
of diamonds may be, will be spent on
them.-Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
