The Republic and Rome Compared.

IHe KepuDHS dHu NUhS NOHPdiSo'
In hi recent speech in the
House, Hon. II. J. Selby, in his
peroration compare the Repub-
lie with Rome, presenting a
picture of the way Imperialism
ruined that mighty power. Mr..
Selby said in part:
Remember, it was Republi,
can Rome that made the En-.
pire possible. 1t was Republi-
can Rome that made couquests
and took within her greedv
grasp province after province
by force of her arms, extending
her dominion md power over
the world.
And it was Imperial Rome
that opened the way to lose all
the Republic had gained. Her
first conquest was the island OF
Sicily, and hers imperialism or
gsnized it first province and
established it's first provincial
government. And next Garth
age fell prey to Roman ag
gression and there arose the
province of Africa; then Greece
and other countries, until the
weak powers were absorbed by
this one great power. The rule
esta blished over these Subjug-
ated countries was termed pro
vincial governmen t. What is
this sort of government? n
Imperial Rome! Her great inn
perial highways have beer the
wonder of the ages; her archi-
tee ,ure, grand. colossal, yet
beautiful; her acqueducts, pub
lie editices and temples have
never been surpassed. The
home of scholars, orat tor S,
statesmen-and yet Rome be-
came a country of assassins
PRISONERS, adulterers, harlots,
all drowned in the cesspool oil
political vice and corruption
and when the votes of her citiz
ems became an article of mer
chaudise her heart was eaten DIS
with a cancer.

now are your armies, your great

The indian Duck Trick.

A little tin or earthen pan, or some
times half cocoanut shell, supported
On three stones, is filled with water,
81 which is sprinkled a red powder
rendering it practically opaque. A lit
lie duck of wood or porcelain Is placed
upon the surface where it at first
floats, but at the command of the per.
former suddenly dives, remaining
submerged until again ordered to rise.
This very ingenious trick depends
upon the fact that in the bottom of the
vessel there is minute hole, through
which passes a hair. One end of this
is attached to the duck; the other re-
mains at the disposal of the performer,
and is attached, by means of pellet
of wax, to his tom-tom or to one Of the
hands with which he beats it. When
he wishes the duck to dive he pulls the
hair; when he desires it to rise he re-
lakes the pull. There is naturally
some amount of leakage through the
pinhole, and to cover this the perform
er takes care, when filling the pan, to
accidentally CD spill little water.
The ground being thus already wet
ted, the fact that it gets little more
is not noticed.-Chamber Journal.
