A KINGLY EXAMPLE.
How Two American Boys Made the Ac-
quaintance of Denmark's King.

How Two American Boys Made the Ac-
quaintance of Denmarks King.
An exchange relates pleasing anec-
dote about two American boys travelling
in Europe. They were skylarking in
the streets of Copenhagen, and one boy
tossed the others hat into tree While
the victim was trying to dislodge it,
there came along an old gentleman,
with umbrella under his arm and his
head buried in his book
s'Please, SIR" said the hatless bow,
twill you get my hat % The old gen.
tleman fished around with his umbrella
for about five minutes, and failing to
dislodge the hat, allowed the boy to
mount his shoulders; and, with the UNI
brella, he finally captured the hat AS
the boy dismOunted and thanked the
old gentleman, another gentleman came
along, who saluted and called the one
with the umbrella, "Your Majesty"
The boys were astonished to find that
they had in this unceremonious fashion
made the acquaintance of the King of
Denmark, and they think the King de-
serves the kingdom. In fact he is a
capital fellow. He loves to mingle with
the people in their amusements, and
there is no fol-de-rol of royalty about
him.
Now this little incident teaches les
son that perhaps some of the Trovers
haven't learned: The King of Dem
mark is not the only ''royal good fell
low among the foreign nobility; there
are, in fact, number of Dukes and
Earls who have really more demo-
cratic spirit than some of our untitled
Americans. There are plenty of people
in this country, who haven't the rag of
title, nor much else to distinguish them
except their manners, and the fact
that their fathers have managed to
scrape together few dollars ahead of
their neighbors-yet who imagine that
they belong to 1.-The aristocracy,'' and
put on all the airs of superior being.
Yet we are willing to forgive them be-
cause they are Americans; but really it
is easier to forgive any other kind of
snob than an American snob, one who
has had all the advantages of being born
in this country.
When we compare fellow of this sort
with scion of some titled European
family, who is at the same time gem

A Maryland Town in Which Nearly All Are
Giants and Methuselahs.
''Back in Montgomery County, eleven
miles from Laurel, on the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad, is the little village of
Sandy Spring, Quaker settlement,
whose population is but seventy-fve
persons, yet which is noted for the
length of time its inhabitants live and
the stature they attain" said Robert HI.

little or young man. l am II years
old, six feet tall, and weigh 200 pounds,

the chaps who live there. The old
people there are dying off, though.
Now, there was the Penn family. Mary
lived to be 100 years old. Edward died
at 104. Lizzie was 103 when she died,
and Joseph was 101. Joshua lived to
be 80 and 10 months. Mary No. 2
was SO, and another Mary was SO. Will
lam Thompson was one of the
oldest men in town. He died at
113 years. The Bell boys were triplets.
They were Shadrach, Meshach and
Abednego. Every one of them was over
100 years old, and the smallest of them
was 6 feet 4 inches high. Both the
others were feet 5. Then there
were two men, one named Davis and the
other Thatcher, both of whom were over
100. Isaac Moore lived to be 1O2. Mrs.
Russell died at 1O4. Mrs. Kirk was 1O1.
Billy Matthews and Will Mccormick
were each 1O1 when they died. Billy
Simpson was 100, and Mahlon Chandice
is now living at 100. Cornelius Sullivan
was "a, William Brown was 90 when he
lett us, and Jimmy Whiteside is still 1iv-
ing, hale and hearty, at SO. Now there
is raft of men over so years. Among
those who are dead are William Thomp-
son, Randall Thompson and Joe Thomp-
son, Joshua Lewis. Ephraim Murphy,
Henry Stabler and Edward Stabler.
Caleb Stabler, Richard Tucker, Perry
Lizear, and jeff Higgins are still living.
There is such raft of boys over 80 that
it isn't worth while to mention them.
Snow for the big fellows: Ed Penn
was 6 feet 4, and Josh was. 6 feet 2.
Robert Sullivan was 6 feet 5. He had
two sons, Will and George, who were
feet and feet respectively. Mahlon
and Nelson were brothers, and each was
feet 4 inches high. There was Richard
Sullivan, whom we used to call Long
Dick. He was feet 4. He had two
sons, Ed and Perry, who are still living,
both feet 2. DR.. ARENAS Riggs was a
daisy. He was 6 feet inches tall,
weighing 260 pounds, without an ounce
of superfiuous flesh, and was one of the
best men in the county. There were
three men who were named William
Brown, and we had to nickname them
to distinguish them. There was Big Bill
Brown, feet 8. Long Bill Brown was
feet s. and Little Bill Brown was feet
~. Isaac Moore was 6 feet 2, but his
son Nathan went him one better and
was 6 feet g. Perry Lizear is still liv-
ing. He is over so years old, is feet
2 in his stockings, weighs 22O pounds,

best men in the county. I tell you what,

The idea OF the magnetic telegraph is

the like connection turns out to be far
older than that.

these books the narrator states that he
found somewhat of metal almost like
to our clocks, full of / know not what
little springs and imperceptible engines.
ut was book, indeed, but strange
and wonderful book that had neither
leaves nor letters. In fine it was book
made wholly for the ears and not the
eyes, so that when any body has mind
to read it he winds up that machine
with great many little springs; then
he turns his hand to the chapter which
he desires to hear and straight as from
the mouth of man or musical instru-
ment proceed all the distinct and differ

make use of for expressing their
