One of the Prince's neighbors, an enthusiastic hunter, couldn't stand this -sort of thing, and made repeated forays on the Prince's domain, where, in a few days, he killed twenty-five boars, always eluding the grasp of the game-keepers.

Woman suffrage seems to have en* -countered s&me drawbacks in JJassachu- .setts. Ten years ago there were sixty- eight. jaembera._of the .lower house in favor of woman suffrage, and last year the number had grown to eighty-two, but now it is down again to about sixty. The movement seems to be doing as well as •could be expected, however* igt other parts erf thecpuntfj. < % On the 1st of January the gold in the treasury was $146,194,000; on the 1st of February, $143,340,000; on the 1st of March, $136,995,000. This is a decrease •of $9,200,000 in a quarter of a year. During the same period the silver has increased from $52,718,000 to $58,104,- 000, or $5,386,000. It will thus be seen that silver is gradually taking the place •of gold as the reserve of the country, just as is the case in France. * „•\ How stkrkt railroads make money is exemplified in the case of the New York Sixth Avenue road; It was organized in 1851; in 1853 it divided 6 per c£nt. of its capital, leaving an hndivided revenue of 3 per cent, more ; this from the carriage of 5,120,000 passengers. In 1859 it di­ vided 12 per cent, on 6,479,129 passen* gers. In 1874 it carried 15,000,000 pas­ sengers ; in 1875 nearly 16,000,000, pay­ ing dividends of 10 per cent., beside distributing the monstrdfcs dividend of 100 per cent, in so-called certificates of indebtedness. This was to escape pay­ ing $20,000 in taxes to the city, It paid 10 per cent, upon this indebtedness also. In 1876 the eomjs&Ba^carried 17,674,437 passengers. Yet, in spite of these facts, the company lately had the audacity to proclaim before a Judge in court, when resisting the Gilbert elevated railway, that the loss of 1,000,000 passengers in one year would take away all their profits.

The challenge was accepted by a young man named Fisher, and the professor, despite his artistic passes, failed to produce any effect upon him. Fischer began to banter the pro­ fessor, and told him that he was only a " vile impostor,^ for the use of which expression he was summoned before the district magistrate and fined 100 florins. The professor, however, did not look upon this as a sufficient reparation for his injured honor, and commenced a fresh suit in order to prove that he Vas really capable of doing what he pro­ fessed to do. He called as a witness a young man who had always appeared an excellent medium upon the plat- forjn, and who at the bidding of the professor was in the habit of falling into a trance and of holding communi­ cation with spirits from the other world; but when he came to be cross- examined by the oounsel for the de­ fense he confessed that he had only been shamming temporary death, and, to the great amusement of the oourt, proceeded to demonstrate how the trick was done.

This same distinguished Wilberforce came out victor in what has always been quoted as the most costly election that has ever taken place in the United Kingdom. This was his famous strug- ?le in 1807 for the representation of orkshire. There were three candi­ dates, and it is said that that election, altogether, could not have cost less than $2,300,000. The expenses incurred by Wilberforce's two opponents--one of whom, Lord Hare wood, declared he was ready to spend his whole Barbadoes property to secure the seat--in bringing up suppotrers from all parts of the king­ dom, as well as from abrond, were esti j mated at $500,000 continued fifteen standing the wealth opposing him, Wil the city bonded indebtedness must be again submitted to a vote of the people.

Here the A aBAMATic story comes from S^ Pe­ tersburg to the effect that Lordand Lady Du^Tuaiii', together with several persons belonging to the imperial Court, were hunting in the forest, the other day, when suddenly a ferocious bear, which had been concealed in the underbrush, sprang upon Lady Dufferin. She would undoubtedly have been killed, the report «sayB, had it not been for the gallantry of Lord Hamilton, an attache of the Em­ bassy, who came to the rescue.

If we were to credit the advo­ cates of woman suffrage, there is a great wrong in voting for, as well as in voting by, males alone. Yet, at Concord, Mass,» the other day, only twenty votes were cast for members of the School Committee, ax)d the voters- were all women. But when the votes were count­ ed it was found that three men had been elected, all for the long term of three .years, while the only woman receiving a majority of votes was elected for the .short term--one year.

The beautiful hill of Posilippo, near pies, on which is situated Virgil's tomb, is soon to be tunneled for a rail­ way. It is a well-established fact that a healthy man requires about a pint of air at a breath; that he breathes about 1,000 times an hour, and that, as a matter be­ yond dispute, he requires about fifty- seven hogsheads of air in twenty-four hours. J. C. Ooden, of Elizabeth, N. J., has come into possession of a time-piece be­ tween two and three centuries old, and it is in a state of vigorous activity and usefulness yet. The works are brass; the pendulum is an unpolished piece of lead hung on a thick* rusty wire; the face is of brass. Veby little is known regarding John Harvard, thte founder of Harvard Col­ lege. He was "an Englishman, who came to this country and died in Cliarlestown, Mass., on tUft 24th of September, 1638. He left £70Uxo found a college. A mon­ ument to Ids memory was erected in the burial ground at Charlestown by the alumni of the college, und was unveiled in 1828, with »n address by Rdward Ev­ erett. At the suggestion of the Rev. Dr. George E. Ellis, the late James Sav­ age once offered $100 a line for five lines about John Harvard, and got no informa­ tion. The language of England to-day is hot the language of Chaucer's time, and he lived only five oenturies ago. Language never remains stationary while it lives. Only dead languages are fixed. While language lives it is constantly growing, throwing off old and taking new forms. Suppose that Vermont, Yorksliire and County Cork should lie isolated from one another and from the rest of the world for 1,000 years, during which English should not be written or taught, but only spokeu. Each would have a distinct language. The Roman of the tenth century differed as much from the Roman of the present day as this does from the Roman of the first, but it would be doubtful, if the Roman of to-day were a written language, that it would in 3,000 years show so marked a change as took place between those dates. The inven­ tion of printing has tended to give per­ manency to language in a thousand ways, the chief among which is uniformity in spelling and in t|ie "forms and cere­ monies ̂of speech, and in crushing out dialect. * • Bands of music are forbidden to play on most of the large bridges of the world. A constant succession of sound­ waves, especially such as come from the playing of a good band, will excite the wires to vibration. At first the vibra­ tions are very slight, but they will in­ crease as the sound-waves continue to come. The principal reason why bands are not allowed to play while crossing certain bridges, the suspension bridge at Niagara for instance, is that if followed by soldiers, or processions of any kind, they will keep step with\ the music, and this rq^ular step of a crowd or company of soldiers would cause the wires to vi­ brate. At the suspension bridge mili­ tary companies are not allowed to march across in regular step, but must break ranks. The regular trotting gait of a large dog across a suspension is more dangerous to the bridge than a heavily loaded wagon drawn by a team of horses. years, and it was claimed that all the sums were legitimately expended. Quite a respectable amount of money for a man to pay for the honor of serving his country at his own expense; but there are in quite recent times instances of far greater prodigality.

A Quiet Neighborhood. A remarkable community is described as perched up among the Swiss Alps--a new Andorra in its primitiveness. The name of the place is Ablandschenen, which, being interpreted, signifies an out-of-the-way locality. Its people have no standing army, and, therefore, never such power. Learning to Write.

A number of experiments with Choked to Death by a Tree. Perhaps the most extraordinary death ever occurring by accident on Long is­ land happened at Half Hollows, town of Huntington. Morris Bartow, 50 years of age, was cutting down trees and chopping them in the woods on the farm of Jocob Baylis. A tree that he had felled was partially upheld by an adjacent tree, and Bartow, instead of cutting the felled tree and laying it safe­ ly on the ground, proceeded to cut down the tree that upheld it. When he had cut part way through _ it the weight of I yiKCai y<,ar the other tree broke it off and in the descent of the first tree Bartow was knocked down. The blade of his ax be­ came imbedded in the earth, with his neck across the head and the weight of the tree resting on the other side of his neck. He was unable to remove the weight or help himself in any way, and before he was discovered by a boy whom he hired to pile the wood he had been choked to death.--New York Herald. does anything else that he cares to do, as well as he can, and with a certain ef­ ficiency and speed.

Our Live-Stock Commerce. The agitation of legislative measures to prevent the introduction and spread of contagious diseases among cattle has brought attention to the already large and increasing commerce in live stock. There is no branch of commerce that has grown so rapidly as this. In 1873 the value of horned cattle exported alive from this country was less than $700,000. In 1879 the value was over $8,250,000. The following is - a state­ ment of shipments of beef cattle on the hoof from the United States for the ed coal ashes, publicly reported within the last year or two, leave no doubt that they have at least some slight value as manure, and that mixed \#ith heavy land their effect is very beneficial. Upon this subject a practical cultivator, through tlie columns of a late number of a British journal, gives the following advice and corroborative testimony: "A 1 third part of ashes to two-thirds of soil will not be too much. You will very likely not have enough to do this at once, therefore use what you have and repeat the dressing again and again till the soil, however wet it may be, parts readily from the tool. It may require three or four years to accomplish'.this if you have only the ashes of an ordinary household at your disposal. But pray H. Oberly, Gen. John Fariutworth; John C.
