IN THE COUNTY MANUFACTURIB 0F Cor .King and Stuart St WOODVILLE, THURSDAY, MAY 25, 188] Tm: (.‘zar of Cracmv announces that. the Nihilists had laid a plot. to abduct the son of the resigning Czar, the heir apparent to the Russian 'l‘hrone, but that owing to an indis- cretion the plot failed. The intention was to hold the Prince as hostago for three weeks, and only to surrender him then on condition of a constitution hein framed. Should no such, ooncvssion have icon pro- misml tho I’rinr‘e would have been con- demned to death hy decree of tho Nihilist )ommittoo, and his head would have been sent to his parents. Lord Ogilvy, and. under that designation, to run up debts. forge bills, and swindle people generally in all parts of the World. The number of applications which Lord Airlie received for ”payment on my ac- count” from traders, who thought they were trusting his son and heir. is simply incredi- ble. These bills come in a perfect shower from all parts of the Continent. and the UnitedNtntes, and although [public notices and warnings of all kinds have been launch- ed at the head of the imposter, and once or twice he has actually been arrested, yet. after a short time, he is certain to be found at his old tricks again, and Poor Lord Airlie is obliged once more to explain to a phal- anax of clamornus tradesmen that they have been duped and robbed. No real Lord was over trusted half as much as this spurious one. “is manners are said to he "distixr guished,” his personal appearance is attract ive, and with the fair sex he has always been a great hit.

Mr. Robert \Vard, writing in the J our-mil. ‘ofSa'euce, considers thaflhc- assumption is a fallacy that all but the crust of the earth is a mass‘of fire. One of the results of the Challenger and other explorations of deep ocean, he says, is to determine that the deep water tOWards its bottom is freezing cold. Considering that the ocean covers nearly three-fourths of the entire globe. this fact does not support the theory of central heat accompanied by radiation. The coldest water, it is true usually sinks by its greater Weight towards the bottom, and that, it may he said, accounts for its coldness ; but on the theory of radiation the water of the ocean has been for long geological ages sup- ported upon the thin crust of the earth. through which the central heat has been constantly escaping, and yet it is still of freezing coldness. Experience Would say that the heat cannot have escaped through the water without warming it, because the ‘ capacity of water forl~eat is greater than that of any other substance. “’8 can no more, he concludes, imagine such a radia- tion and consequent accumulation of heat in the ocean without the natural result of a the marchpnne candle. While dgamriug .fihat. toothsome article, baffled suspicion by the most hideous visual coutortions, expressive of loathing and nausea. he threw back his hemluopened his mouth wide, and inserted the ca'pdle. As he closed his teeth, however, the, expression of his countenance sufiored mi exizraordinary change. One of the nohlemen sitting in his immediate vicinity had contrived to substi- tute his own genuine tallow candle for the marchpane imitation set gbefore the Grand Duke, who, not choosing to betray himself to his guests, found himself condemned to chew at least one copious mouthful of Rus- sian tallow, as an example to all the vi ctims of his jest. The (lextel'ous‘ appropi-iat 01_' of IL. -.A_ ,, _ The eccentric Gran ‘Duke Constantine, the late Czar's eldest b that, while residing in Warsaw, gave a s did banquet to a number of Polish nobl) to each of whom, at the conclusion of the. feast, an ordinary tallow candle was served on a plate. The Grand Duke, who had fiven orders that an imitation candle, admirably executed in marehpane, should be ed upon his plate, then rose and exclaime : “Gentlemen, let us eat, to the honor of Russia, the favorite national comestible of my_con ntry; Look at “ PRO BONO PUBLICO."

No crooked backs are sad: in Hindostan. Dr. H; Spry says that thll exercise of carrying small vessels of water on the heal might be advantageously introduced into boarding schools and private fimilies, and that it might entirely; supersede the present mach- inery of dum bells,_ gbackbosrd, skipping ropes, etc. The {ouug ladies ought to he taught to carry t e jar-as these Hindoo Wo- men do. without ever touching it with their hands.

Tho parents wait until the babe is in a sound slumber. when they take the ink and blacks" its face The Chinese have many very strange sup- erstitions, but none more so than that con- cerning the demoniacnl possession of their babies. If on infant from the time of its birth has frequent spells of crying. and is of a very poevish disposition, the parents con- clude at once that Sam Ku Lok Po, as the liohgohlin is called. has taken up its abode in the child, while the baby‘s true soul is wandering somewhere in space. They there- upon take dried lmumm skin. burn it to ashes, and mix it with water so as to make a sort of inky compound. The mother now dips her fore-linger into the ink and paints a cross on the baby's forehead, with Hm Words, “ I paint this arms to drive thee [tho (lenion) nwny."_ A paper has just been laid before the Sta- tistical Society in England by Mr. Gilfin, in which the subjects of the wealth of England and of the recent accrunulations of capital in the United Kingdom are considered care- fully, and with results which have startled even those Englishmen who had thought themselves the most familiar with the finan- cial history and condition of their enuntry. Mr. Giflin finds. for example, in regard to the growth of capital in Great Britain, that in ten years between 1565 and 1875 .the capital of the country was increased by the enormous sum of L2.400.00(LOL0, or about tWelve thousand million dollars. In 1865 the ca ital of the empire was £6,l00,000,~ 000. n 1375 it was £8,500,000.000. In other words England has been adding to her capitalized wealth or her national estate at the rate of £240,1I00,ll00 a year. And whereas the gross assessed income of Great Britain at the beginning of the centurv, when she was carrying on her great wars with Napoleon 1.. War; but £115.0l)0,000, and in 1855, at the time of the Crimean war ‘ was but £308.000.000, it had risen in I865 ‘ to £396.000,000, and in i875 rose to £57],- 000,000. The way to Wealth, observes an old au- thor, is open to all who are industrious and frugal, both with respect to their money and time ; for time well employed is certain to bring money, as money well spent is certain of gaining more. Lay down a regular estimate of your time, and what' you must do in each hour ard particular day, and you will in one month acquire habits of punctuality that will be astonishing even to yourself, and which will gain for you a character of accuracy that cannot fail to raise your credit, the prize that all aim at but few obtain, A puuctual man is sure to be respected, and he is almost sure of thriv- ing and becoming rich. for punctuality com- prehends industry and foresight, two of the most powerful instruments of procuring wealth. He that is known to pay punctu- ally, and exacty to the time he promises. may at any time and on any occasion raise all the money his friends can spare. This is sometimes of great use. After industry and frugality, nothing contributes more to thelraising ofa young man in the world than punctuality and justice in all his deal- ings ; therefore never keep borrowed money an hour beyond the time you promised, lest a disappointment shut up your friend’s purse for ever. ‘7 Beware of thinking-all your own that. you possess and live accordingly. It is a mistake that many people who have credit fall into. To prevent this, keep an exact account, for some time, both of your ex- penses and your-income. If you take the , pains at first to mention particulars, it will have this good effectâ€"you will discover how Wonder-frilly small, trifling expenses amount upto large sums, and will discern what might have been and may for the future be saved, without any great inconvenience. In short, if you desire it. the way to Wealth is as plain as the way to market, It depends chiefly on two wordsâ€"industry and frugal- ity ; that is. waste neither time nor money but make the best use of both. Without industry and fru gaiity nothing will do and with them everything. He that ets all he can get honestlyt and saves 3 l he gets, necessary eXpenses excepted, wrll certainly become rich.

England is as large as New Brunswick. Scotland as Nova Scotia, Newfoundland as Ireland. France stretches from the nmthern boundary of Maine to the western boundary of Ohio, and to the southern boundary of Pennsylvania. Germany could be got into the space lying betWeen the southern boundary of Pennsyl- vania and New Jersey. the Atlantic, the Ohio River the Mississippi River. and the northern boundary of Georgia, and South Carolina.
