Humbert's Civil List.

The civil list or salary OF King Hum
bert of Italy is the largest of all those
paid by European nations to their re-
spective sovereigns. This is so much
more remarkable because italian
finances are at the lowest ebb. Hum
bert's civil list is fixed annually at II, :
500, 600 0fraacs-nearly So, 900, 900. The
European sovereigns who receive the
highest pay below that of Humbert are
Emperor William of Germany, with a
civil list of 100000 francs, and
Queen Victoria, with about 10000 600.

Balm of Gilead.

The real balm of Gilead is the dried
juice of a low shrub which grows in
Syria. 1t is very valuable and scarce,
for the amount Of balm yielded by one
shrub never exceeded 60 drops day.
According to Josephus, the balm or
balsam of Gilead was one of the pres
ents given by the queen of Sheba to
King Solomon. The ancient Jewish
physicians prescribed it evidently for
dyspepsia and melancholia. a.-Methodist

His RELIGION.

John Field, the pianist, was an Irish
man who studied with an Italian,
Clemente, and lived in Russia. He
loved champagne and washed his own
clothes. When he was dying, some one
sent for a priest, who went to his bed
side ana whispered, Are you Cath
olic or PROTESTANT" The dying man
revived sufficiently to sigh out: "Nei-
ther. am a pianist" and immediate
ly expired. philadelphia Press.

PulveriZed Cork.

Considerable use is now being made
of the newly introduced French article
to which the name Of subirine has been
given. The substance consists of pull
verized cork of different degrees of fine
ness, known as impalpable, fine, medi-
um and coarse, the pulveriZatiOn being
effected by very simple means. such as
a horizontal giindstone. Among these
the medium powders have for some
time been employed in the French navy
and by various navigation companies
for painting the sheet iron and parti-
tionS of the inSideS OfveSSclS. The effect
of such coatings is said to be to consider
ably diminish the conductibility of the
sheet iron and the vibrations so un-
pleasant which are produced as soon as
the SEA becomes a little rough. Another
use for these cork powders is in the
preparation of substance called lie
gine, which consists of the powder
mixed with fine plaster in the proper
ton of about 10 per cent. This liegine
composition is turned out in all shapes
and sizes and is stated to be specially
useful as protection alike from heat
or cold, or for partitions, roofs, lofts,
ceilings and coatings of all descrip-
tions; also as packing for boilers, ice
houses, cOnservatOrieS, coverings for
wagons, steam pipes, and similar uses
in short, for the large number of
cases where it is desirable to maintain
an equal temperature. New York Sun.

A PRELUDE.

- fRELUOE.
In youth, beside the lonely sea,
Voices and visions came 10 me.
Titania and her furtive broods
Were my familiars in the woods.
From every flower that broke in fame
Some half articulate whisper came.
In every wind felt the stir
OF some celestial messenger.
Later, amid the city's din
And toll and wealth and want and sin,
They followed me from street 10 street,
The dreams that made my boyhood sweet;
Asin the silence haunted glen.
So mid the crowded ways OF men.
Strange lights my errant fancy led.
Strange watchers sat beside my bed.
III fortune had no shafts for me
In this aerial company.
Now one by one the visions fly,
And one by one the voices die.
More distantly the accents ring,
More frequent the receding wing.
Full dark shall be the days in store.
When voice and vision come no more!
Thomas Bailey Aldrich in Scribner's.

WHAT HE WANTS.

March, April, May, and June have
passed, and the Chicago Democracy

meat, much less a taste. Is Presi-

eral Building to take a tumble, or is
he cutting bait?-Tribune.
He is probably waiting to hear
from PoSey County before acting As
Chicago Democrats are hardly good
enough for Grover, he is looking for

he has ever come in contact. He is a
gentleman in every sense Of the
word, and is possessed of a disposition
which will enable him to run the

WHERE ARE 7HE COMMISSIONERS?

Now that the City Council has
acted unanimously, and declared it,
self in no uncertain manner on the
matter of the Presbyterian Seminary
property, people are wondering what
the County Board is going to do in
the premises.
Awhile ago the County Board was
complaining bitterly that it had no
money to pay the new judges, and
yet it allows an opportunity to col
lect 800, 900 worth of taxes lawfully
due the county, to slip through its
hands.
Is the County Clerk to be permit
ted to exempt this property again
this year?
VIII such an outrage be tolerated?
The supineness of the Board Of
Commissioners in this matter is the
cause Of amazement among their
friends, and Of much comment
among citizens generally.
The Board should act.

So much for the law.
Is there anything in that law

association to escape taxation?
Not much.
Is there any excuse whatever for
the taxing officers Of Cook County

There can be none.
The law plainly says that rs prop

The Assessor of the North Town is
not.
He honestly assesses the property.

LegaIized Primaries.

1.-THE Legislature says yesterday
Petersburg Index-Appeal, will shortly
have an opportunity TO enact statute
providing localized primaries. Mr. c. r.
Ntcol. the member Of the House from
Prince William county. has prepared
bill which will be introduced soon after
the Christmas holidays. The measure
framed by Mr.. Nicol is designed TO give
thorough protection In primary contests.
and II viii punish severely those who
undertake 10 engage In baliot-box stuff
ing, or any other shady practices.
IF Mr.. NicoPs bill Is all that II is rep
resented 10 be, we trust that the Legisla-
ture will pass IL without delay. We have
taken some pains TO ascertain the drift
or public sentiment IN the State, as in
dicated by the comprehensive discussion
OF the subject in the newspapers during
the past several weeks. Our conviction,
founded upon careful observation and
reflection, is that the primary is not only
essential. under existing conditions 10
secure a full expression OF the wishes OF
the majority Of Democratic voters In the
selection OF county and city officers, but
that the demand for IL proceeds from en-
tirely disint crested sources and from a
majority Of the people. For these reasons
we think the General Assembly should
authorize the system.

What President KimbaIl Thinks of Free Coal.

Mr.. -. H. Watson. president OF the
Pocahontas Coal Con l9Dy, stated fecehuy
I'm reply to a question as to what enect
putting coal on the Tree list would have On
his company "Oh, scarcely any. We are
not alarmed at ALL and think 1t will affect
us so little that the matter is not worth
fighting"
MI r. j. KimbaI. president OF the Nor
folk and Western, comes back with the
following letter to Mr.. Decatur AXtell'
vice-pTesident of the Chesapeake and ONO
Railway Company:
u did not suppose that there was man
living who had any knowledge OF the
coal business who did not know that the
placing OF coal on the free list was an
extremely serious matter and most detri-
mental TO those Interested in the devel-
opment OF the coal business in the Nlr-
ginas and naturally felt surprised when
my attention was called to the interview
with Mr. Matson. but l find that Mr. Mat
son was equally surprised. and evidently
has been misunderstood. He has to-day
sent me a copy of a letter addressed by
him to the editor Of the Lynchburg News.
AS YOU will see, Mr.. Matsons views
are quite different from those reported ana
circulated through the press. which have
evidently done him great injustice.
II also enclose a copy Of the prospectus
OF the Dominion Coal Company referred
10 IN MIR. Alatson's letter. which n YOU
have not seen will interest YOU. and II
might be well to call your attention 10
the fact that whilst they capitalize the
with Sl59O0.000 OF common stock,
they only disposed of 81 10000. and do not
state what they are going TO do with the
remaining Sl3, 500eq9"
