Energetic Royalty.

Queen Victoria never goes to bed
till y o'clock and is awakened at 7 in
the morning, when some cocoa and bis
cults are brought her. During the day
she does not, as many women half her
age do, take refreshing nap.
The Prince of Wales is a notoriously
bad sleeper-insomnia being the only
enemy of his well-being-and the
Princess of Wales, although she now
allows herself an extra hour in the
morning, made it a rule until her chill
dren were quite grown up to be up
and ready for the days duties at 9
o'clock. Having breakfasted at $50,
her royal highness always repaired to
the school-room Immediately afteward,
when the exercises and copies writ
ten the previous day by her children
were brought for her inspection. And
this although she never retired before
2 o'clock in the morning while at
Marlborough House, for the Princess
made it a practice, as so little time
was left her during the day, to write
her letters home TO Denmark after
II o'clock at night, on ber return from
the great entertainments during the
London season.
The Emperor Of Austria is another
monarch who breakfasts with the lark,
while the Empress adopts much the
same hours as does a hospital nurse,
only allowing herself short sleep
from II o'clock at night until 3 in the
morning, when she rises and insists on
the members Of her unfortunate suite
doing the same, and Immediately pro-
ceeds for long Walks IN the mountain
GUS regions where she usually elects
to stay.
The Emperor and Empress of Ger
many are the earliest risers Of all Eu-
ropean sovereigns, but with them it is
a case Of following out the rule Of
Early to bed and early to rise makes
a man healthy, wealthy and wise, " for,
unless actually engaged at court fes-
tivity, they retire to rest as early as
10 o'clock. At5 o'clock in the gum
mer and 6 o'clock in the winter the
Emperor ia up and about and the En-
press rises only little later, that she
may be ready herself to prepare her
lord and master his first cup Of coffee.
The children of the imperial pair are
brought up to follow their parents
example in this, as in every way.

THE WANDERER.

AT drowsy dawn left the Gate-so very long
ago,
Whether that home to memory or dream
hardly know.
The cloud.hung visions OF the morn were far
more real then
Than now are thronging city streets and cries
OF eager men.
The hours ere yet the sun was high were like
eternities,
But now how swift the shadows run, how
near tie darkness is!
Ah, well! 'Tis aye the happiest day comes
swift to even SOM;
With merriei comrades D ever yet did pilgrim
pass along.
The paths that widest seem 10 part still wind
ing turn and meet;
Perchance they do but homeward lead again
our wandering feet.
Familiar faces vanish, but the voices vibrate
still,
And nothing now seems far away, at the
ending OF the hill.
To one warm hand alone l cling, as fast the
night grows late,
And crave that we may come at last together
to the Gate.

How Jackson was Wounded.

An audience which completely hlled
the lecture amphitheatre of the Uni
versity College of Medicine heard DR..
Hunter Mcclure deliver his splendid
lecture. on "Stonewall jackson. " A
number of prominent people were pres
ent, Gov. J. Hoge Tyler occupying a
seat Immediately in front of the lectur-
er. DR.. Mcclure was introduced to
the audience by Mr.. A. P Montague,
and was received with warm and
hearty applause.
He said that at the request of some
of the students of the University Col
lege of Medicine he would deliver his
lecture on "Stonewall Jackson" which
was given by him some months ago at
Lexington, but before doing so would,
at the expressed wish Of a number Of
his auditors, tell how Stonewall Jack
son was wounded.
In well-chosen words DR.. Mcclure
then told of the event that shrouded
the South in gloom. He told how
Jackson 5 army had attacked Hooker
and drove his men in confusion before
them. In the charge, he said, the di-
visions of Rhodes and Colston had be-
come mixed, it being found impossible
to preserve the organization IN the
dense underground. Seeing this dlth-
Guilty. jackson ordered the two di-
visions to fall back to the rear and re-
form. Meanwhile, a. ?. Hills di-
vision was ordered to move forward
and take its place. This maneuver
was promptly executed. Jackson,
with his staff, then rode forward to re-
connoiter. They went almost to Hook
ers picket line, and then turned and
rode back to their own men down the
turnpike.
While this was going on Hills forces
had taken the position occupied by
Colston and Rhodes. They knew moth
ing Of Jackson's having ridden for
ward, but were expecting a cavalry
charge by the enemy. When Jackson
and his staff came riding down the road
the Confederates mistook them for
Federal cavalry and fired upon them.
Jackson fell, struck by three bullets.
One entered his left wrist, plowing up
his arm to the elbow. The second en-
tered the same arm near the shoulder,
tearing apart an artery The third
struck him in the palm OF his right
hand, passing through and lodging be-
hind the skin on the other side Thus
it was that Jackson was wounded,
concluded DR.. Mcclure. "He lived
for week, dying, as we all know, of
pneumonia. Then we wondered why
he had pneumonia now we know it
was due to blood poisoning
DR.. Mcclure then, interrupted by
frequent bursts of applause, read to his
audience the story of the heroic deeds
of Stonewall Jackson.-Rlchmond

the one that steadied US over, and the

Doctors Can't
Cure It!

Contagious blood poison is absolutely
beyond the skill of the doctors. They
may dose a patient for years on their
mercurial and potash remedies, but he
will never be rid of the disease on the
other hand, his condition will grow
steadily worse. S. S. S. is the only cure
for this terrible affliction, because it is
the only remedy which goes direct to
the cause of the disease and forces it
from the system.

and as yet have shown no tendency
to decrease. The number of pupils
on the roll for the several months
have been as follows: 1st month,
$50; 2nd month, 1S2; Bird month,
1877; 4th month. 1873; 9th month, 1873;
9th month, 1S4; 18th month, 1856.
We still have two months, which
should be the best of the session.
Parents can help to do this by seeing
that their children attend regularly
and punctually every day. Let us
all work to make this the most pros
porous session in the history Of the
school.

How to Look Good.

Good looks are really more than
skin deep, depending entirely on a
healthy condition of all the vital
organs. If the liver is inactive, you
have a bilious look; if your stomach
is disordered, you have a dyspeptic
lock; if your kidneys are affected, you
have a pinched look. Secure good
health, and you will surely have good
looks. Electric BitterS" is a good
Alternative and Tonic. Acts directly
on the stomach, liver and kidneys,
purifeS the blood, cures pimples,
blotches and boils, and gives Il good
complexion Every bottle guaran-
