easily memorize the names of the English
.I )vereigns.
First, William the Norman,
Then William his son ;
Henry, Stephen and Henry,
Then Richard and John.
Next Henry the Third,
Edward, one. two and three;
And again. after Richard,
Three Henrys we see.
Two Edwards, third Richard.
If rightly I guess;
Two Henrys, sixthlEdward,
Queen Mary, Queen Bess.
Then Jamie, the Scotchman,
The Charles whom they slew,
Yet received after Cromwell
Another Charles too.
Next Jamie the Second
Ascended the throne,
Then William and Mary
Together came on.
Till Annie, four Georges,
And William Fourth past,
God sent Queen Victoria;
May she long be the last!

rxo ms BANKS—SCENES or won wrrnsssan
BY A oonussronnnnr.
ALEXANDRIA, July 19.—Dervish Pasha, a
special minister of Turkey, returned to Goa-
stantinople to-day. His departure at the
present crisis is deemed extraordinary. The
English attempt to make it appear that Der-
vish returns because his presence is no longer
necessary, owing to Turkish satisfaction with
British occupation. It is understood,,how-
ever, that Dervish Pasha was summarily or-
dered home by the Sultan because his active
co-operation with the Khedivc was raising
indignation among Mohammedans, excited
at his suspected connivance with a plot to
turn Egypt over to the Christians, and be-
cause the Ports was unable to resist these
protests. ‘It is alleged, also, that the Sultan
understands that Germany does not favor
any thing like an ofilcial endorsement by
Turkey of either a purely English or a joint
English and French occupation of Egypt.
The condition of the Ports is critical in the
extreme. The anti-Christian feeling is be-
coming aroused actively all over Turkey,
Arabia, Egypt and the interior of Africa,
and is .te-day in such a fierce and menacing
attitude that the Sultan dare not move in the
direction of an ally of England. On the
other hand, he realizes that Germany could
be his most useful friend among the powers,
and on that account he feels constrained to
stay out of any combination which includes
France.
Admiral Seymour, after Dervish Pasha had
left for Constantinople. received dispatches
which prompted him to send his fieetest boat
after him to bring him back.
It is believed Arabi’s army is increasing
rapidly. England‘s blunder is not pushing
the war and the present delay is greatly aid-
ing Arabl’s recruiting. 'It is true that the
wounded are being'paradcd in Cairo to ex-
cite the indignation of the natives. All the
Europeans have left Cairo except twenty Ger-
mans.
A correspondent claims that he rode out
nine miles and found the roads thick with the
, corpses of soldiers, skeletons, horses, wrecked
carriages and swarming with starving women
and children, who told him that the Bedou-
ins had followed and attacked Arabi’s army
during its retreat to rob them of their booty.

An Important Decision.
women ELIGIBLE TO anmssrox To run BAR
IN oonnnoriour.
The justices of the supreme court of errors
held a meeting at the capitol yesterday, and
among the other matters considered the ques-
tion coming up from the superior court of
this county as to the eligibility of women to
be admitted to practice as attorneys before
the courts of the state. It will be remem-
bered that some months ago, Miss Mary Hall,
who pursued her legal studies in the office of
the Hon. John Hooker, made application for
admission to the bar. There was no preca-
deut to govern, and there was a wide diversi-
ty of opinion among members of the county
bar whether Miss Hall could properly be ad-
mitted. However, as a preliminary step, an
examination was accorded her, and she
passed it satisfactorily. Thereupon the main
question arose again, and was taken to the
suprerue court of errors for an opinion. The
decision of the court is substantially to the
effect that because an applidhnt is a woman,
it is no bar to her admission. Miss Hall’s
application will probably be acted upon at
the next term of superior court. By the de-
cision of yesterday old Connecticut wheels
into line with Iowa and other of the younger
states which have already taken steps toward
according this right to women and opening
up to them a fresh field of enterprise-«Hart-

Chasing a Steamer With Mail.
NEW Yonrr, July l9.——Two hundred and
twenty-seven sacks of mail from Australia
and New Zealand for Europe sent via San
Francisco to mmid the dangers of the Suez
canal transit reached Jersey City just too
late forthe Arizona, which had been. com-
pelled to leave her pier early in order to
cross Sandy Hook bar at high tide. Post-
master Pearson chartered a tug and the mail
was put on board and the tug immediately
gave chase to the Arizona and succeeded in
overtaking her a short distance below Bed-
loe’s island. The tag was then lashed to the
Arizona and the mail bags were transferred
to the steamer. They were all on board at
8 o’clock. 'They contain Sidney dates of
J um 15, and will probably reach London in
40 days from Sydney, which is a quick pas-
sage.

Pennsylvania’s coal product this year
promises to be largely in excess of that of
1881, and already the railroads in ,that state
are reaping the benefits from it in the increas-
ed transportation of the output of the mines.
For the month of June the product was 2,-
626,039 tons, or 206,300 tons more than that
for the corresponding month last year. The
output for the first six months of the current
year aggregated 12,567,581 tons, being an in-
crease, as compared with the same period in
1881, or 100,355 tons. The stock of coal on
hand at tide water shipping points on June
30, 1882, was 583,936 tons against 611,441
tons on May 31,21 decrease of 27,505 tons.

One of the most notable decorations worn
at the recent christening of the youngest heir
to the German throne was the Order of the
Golden Fleece, which glealned upon the
breast of Prince Frederick Charles. There
are no specimens of this decoration made
nowadays, the old ones being handed down
from knight to knight, the name of each
successive owner being engraved on one of
the links. So 'it happens, by a streange
freak of fate, that Prince Frederick Charles,
the Red Prince, 1: liberal-minded but earn-
est Protestant. wears the very chain once
bestowed by Philip II. upon the stern and
relentless persecutor of heretics, the duke of
Alba.

The New York Tribune has another story
of the late Bishop Scott. A few years ago,
he was invited to preach a'l‘hanksgiving Day
sermon at OdellSu, Delaware. A large cou-
grcgation attended, and an elaborate dis-'
course was expected. But, to everyone’s
surprise, he closed his sermon after talking
only fifteen minutes, and to the inquircrs
who flocked about him afterward he exclaim-
ed that hc had said all he knew on the
subject in handhand had therefore stopped
talking.

Tllo Bush-Lawyer and the
Kinkayous.
(Dr. Felix L.Osgood in St. Nicholas.)
“My wood-choppers captured a sloth this
morning,” said the judge as he walked to-
ward thc ravine, “a big black sloth, a ‘bush
lawyer,’ as the Indians call them. They tie-
him to a stump of a tree, and what do you
suppose I found, when I came out to fetch
' him ? Here we are 1 Just look at the happy
family." ~
The old sloth lay on his back, near the
stump where the wood-choppers had left
him, but in his claws he held the strangest
animal I ever saw in my life, a hairy little
brute, about the shape of a young bear, but
with a big tail that turned and twisted left
and right like a snake.
"What in the world do you call that 'l” I
asked; "a monkey or an overgrown squir-
rel P”
“No; it’s a honey-bear,” replied the
judge—“a kinkayou, as we call them. Just
look up; there’s half a dozen of them up that
tree ?" .
On a catalpa tree, near the stump. a whole
family of the strange long-tails were eating
their dinner, not in the least disconcerted by
our presence, as it seemed, though two of
them eyed us, with outstretched necks, as if
they desired us to explain the purpose of our
visit. ' - ' --
I stepped back to get a better look at them
They had meats and paws like a fat young
bear, but in their movements they reminded
me of a North American opossum. ‘They
could hang by their tails and use them as
rope-ladders in lowering themselves from
branch to branch. Now and then one or two
of them came down to take a look at their
captive comrade, but at the least movement
of the old sloth would send them scampering
up the tree with squeals of horror.
“That lawyer of yours has taken the law
into his own hands,” said I.
“Yes, I suspect those little imps kept fool-
ing with him till he grabbed one of them,”
said the judge. “Let’s set that thing free, or
he will squeeze it to death." p
The old sloth held his prisoner as a spider
holds a fly, encircling him completely with
his lougclawed legs, and while the captive
mewled and snarled,the captor uttered grunts
that sounded like inward chuckles. It need-
ed 6ur combined efforts to unclasp his long
grappling hooks, and we were afraid the
prisoner would die before we could liberate
him, but as soon as his feet touched the
ground he bounced up the tree as if the fell
fiends were at his heels.

The Manly Art.
HOW A GRADUATE WAS SURPRISE!) BY A HUCK-
STRR.
There are scores of respectable and repu-
table heads of families in this city who take
regular lessons in the manly art of self- dc-
fcnse, and who spend an hour every evening‘
in swinging clubs and otherwise developing
and hardening the muscle. One of the most
enthusiastic of the lot had finished his box-
ing lesson the other night, when the trainer
said:
“1 am sorry to lose your money and your
company, but I feel it my duty to say that I
can learn you nothing further. You have
got the science and muscle to clean out a
crowd, and heaven help the man who stands
before you.” ~
The citizen want home with a conscious-
ness that only cowards carry revolvers, and
he wonders how a man would look after he
had given him a sockdologer straight from
the shoulder. The next morning as he was
leaving his house along came a strawberry
man who was yelling his wares at the top of
his voice. ‘
“Do you sell any more berries for yelling
in that manner i” asked the citizen, as the
peddler drew rein. ‘
“Oh, take in your nose,” was the reply.
“Some one will take your whole body in
some day 1”
“But it won’t be a man with a wart on his
chin I”
“No impudence, sir!”
“And none from you, either 1”
“You deserve a good thrashing 1”
“And perhaps you can give it to me i”
There was the golden opportunity. The
one had science—the other impatience, The
one had received thirty-eight lessons in box-
ing—the other fairly asked to be pounded.
“Don't talk that way to me or I’ll knock
you down 1" said the finished pupil, as he
gently threw himself into position to mash a
brick wall.
"011, you will, eh? Then let’s see you do
it!"
Even the graduate couldn’t tell exactly
what took place. He remembered of being
kicked on the shins, struck on the chin and
twisted over a horse-block after he fell, but
when consciousness returned his wife and
children were crying over him and the ped-
dler was two blocks down the street shout-
'ing:

blood—perfect dailies—only two shillings for
a heaping big quart without any thumb in
it l”-—Dctroz't Free Press.

At a station on one of the railroads leading
out of Detroit the train had arrived and de-
'partcd the other day, when the station agent,
who had been in the place about three weeks
and was looking for a call every hour to come
to Detroit and take charge of the line, was
approached by a quiet, Well-dressed mun,
smoking a cigar, who asked :
“Keep you pretty busy, here ?”
"Yum," was the jerky reply.
“Business on the increase l" ‘
“Yum," again. ‘
“Do you run this station 7" asked the quiet
man, after a turn on the platform.
“Nobody else runs it,” growled the agent.
“Have you got a patent coupler ?”
“Oh, no." .
“I was going to tell you to go to thunder
with it if you had. Want special freight
rates, I suppose ?"
“No, sir.”
“I don’t give any passes.”
“I don’t want any."
“Waiting for the next train?" .
“Not particularly." '
“Want to charter a car i"
“No."
The agent left him on the platform, and
entered his ofilcc and busicd himself for half
an hour, when the quiet man looked in on
him and asked:
“What’s the salary of a position like this?”
“That's myvbusiness," was the prompt re.
ply. .
“What’s the income from this station ?”
“Ask the baggageman." ,
“Your name is — , isn’t it ‘1'"
“Suppose it is ?”
“Oh nothing much—only I'm the general
manager of tho-line, and I'd like to exchange
cards with you.— Weekly Review.
Hat Flirtntion.
The latest craze is the hat flirtation. It is
too utterly utter, too intensely intense. The
following is the code : Wearing the hat

you must not recognize me; wearing it on
the back of the head, ta! ta! ;- taking it of!
and brushing it the wrong way. my heart is
busted; holding it out in the right hand,lend
me a quarter; leaving it with your uncle, I
have been to a churchfifair ; throwing it at a
policeman, I love your sister; using it as a
fan, come and see my sunt; c rrying abrick
in it, your cruelty is killing me; kicking it
up stairs, is the old man around; kicking it
down stairs, where is your mother; kicking
it across the street, I am engaged; hanging.

hanging it on the ground and sitting on it
farewell forever.——Leuvcnworth Times.

THE VIRTUOUS YOUTH.
Young Master Ebenezer Brown
Is quite the model of the town;
He never made a single debt,
Nor smoked a nasty cigarette.
He never read dime novels vile.
Nor wore upon his head stile;
He ne'erplaied hockey from school,
Nor tackled llllards, cards or pool.
He never swore nor drank a drop;
He never "cheezed it" from a “co ;”
He never called his pa “old man,’
Nor to a dog's tail tied a can.
He never robbed an apple tree:
No melon patches entered he;
He never went a courting, though
To him the girlswould favors show.
He always early went to rest,
And rose at daybreak with a zest;
Although his appetite “as good.
lie ne’er in pantries stole his food.
But Master Ebentzcl‘ Brown,
Who is the model of the town,
is also, if the truth is told,
A snoozcr yet—just one year old. _

Contrlbntsdhy Ladle: of Norwalk 'I‘cmlenlon
Newton and the Amcndnlont.
The present unusual , amount of first-class
new buildings that are now in course of
erection ill this city, and others in contem-
plation, haVe caused us to glance back upon
the progress of Newtown during the past
eleven or twalve months. A year ago,
when the liquor law of our present State
Constitution was put into force, a great
many of our people said and really felt that
the operation of that law Would become a
matter of severe injury to the city, and the
principal injury would be in depriving the
city treasury of some $3,000 annual city
license, which looked big in their eyes.
We freely admit that we were among the
number that very much questioned the suc-
cess of the law and its benefits, but, having
voted for the Amendment, were willing and
desirous of seeing it fully and fairly tested.
What has been the result so far of the law,
and what is the sentiment of a majority of
the people of this city to-day 1 Our opinion
is that the law has been very much a suc-
cess, and were the question submitted to the
people of this city now as to wheiler or not
they would nave the old saloons with their
high licenses. We believe the sentiment of
this city would be: No more saloons. The
result as to growth has heed that in no years
since Newton was first inhabited has it made
greater and more substantial improvements
than it has during the past year, and will
continue to do so this year. Society here is
now better than it used to be, very few, if
any penniless loafers are now to be found
half drunk upon the streets, men who be-
fore rpent most of their earning for liquor
now pay their debts. live better and wear
better clothes—in fact everybody appears to
have something to do, and to he doing
reasonably well financially. ‘A drunken man
isseldom seen here any more, and the city
marshall can spend a good share of his time
as street commissioner in other parts of the
city if necessary without fears of a drunken
row while absent, something he wasn't safe
in risking a year ago. And notwithstanding
all this as we are reliably informed, the city
is in about as good shape financially as ever.
Such we belive, and history has proven it,to
have been the result of the law in this city,
and that without hardly a legal prosecution.
The sentiment of this city and county today
is for temperance, morality and education.
and we can much more easily and expediti-
ously flourish under such abanncr than amid
a lot of saloons, ignorance, and vice.—The
Newwum Kansas.
A Warning to Beer Drinkers.
“The man who habitually drinks beer is
sure to have Bright's disease. Beer in large
quantities is one of the worst things a man
can ruin his stomach and organs with. In
Germany, where the students drink a-great
deal of beer, their kidneys and bladders are
always affected." This is the statement of
Dr. Palen, a prominent physician of New
York; and the Cincinnati Inquirer adds :—
“Iu the light of such testimony it becomes
the duty of the State to discourage and rep-
press beer-making and beer-selling, as it also
is of all friends of temperance to discourage
beer drinking."
Sunday Prohibition.
A forcible example of what a probibitory
law can accomplish for. one-seventh of the
time, is found in the enforcement of the
Forbes-McKenzie act of the Sunday sale of
liquor in Scotland. The law was passed in
1854. In thirty-one cities the cases of Sun-
day drunkenness aud crime for one year
previous to the enactment of the law were
11,471, while the year after the law the were
only 4,299—a decrease of 7,175. The prison
report of Scotland for the five years previous
to the act showed the average number of
daily criminals therin was 14,676, and for the
succeeding five years it was only "11,507—a
decrease of over 3,000.

ounce counted among the respectable resi-
dents of the city, says the Gazette, but
while his daughter piteously. cried, he heart-
lessly abstracted from the little tin bank her
first Christmas savings of twenty-six cents.
Tne'bank was a present from a relative. In
gleeful anticipation of all the nice things they
would purchase by-a'nd-by, the little miss
regularly dropped therein the small coins as
she got them until it seemed to her the small
bank contained untold wealth. HerJathcr
was generally kind and loving. But now he
listened to his ,child’s heart breaking appeal
with indifference, and an hour later his wife
' found him at a neighboring saloon in a state
of boisterous intoxication—drunk on liquor
bought with his baby-girl's first Christmas
money. .
What Sixty-Cents Did.
According to aTcxas paper an investment
of sixty cents in whisky, by a young man
named Dean, in the , year 1809. cost Fannin
County, in time and money, more than the
revenue arising from the whisky trafilc for
five years amounted-to. Dean inflamed with
his whisky shot and killed Dan Coulter.
Theuthe McDonalds shot and killed-Dean.
For this offence they were arrested. and
after continuing the case several times, were
tried and convicted of manslaughter, and
sentenced to the penitentiary. While in jail
they were rescued by their friends breaking
open the jail and liberating them. Taking
it together, this sixty cents’ worth of whisky
killed two men, made one widow, caused
two men to be incarcerated and kept in jail
at an enormous expense to Fanniu County,
'and caused trouble to the families and
friends of those two men ; andtheu the.cx-
pense of witnesses and trials in court, with
loss. of time to the sheriff and posse, put
Fannin County to the expense of‘not less
than $10,000. _ '

why Courtney failed to meet Hanlau in a
sculli contest. The general explanatory
argument was, that he feared the little
Canadian. This opinion, however, is ex-
ploded by the authentic announcement, that
on the days fixed for the race, Courtney was
unable to sit in his shell, on account of the
intense itching and soreness caused by the
Piles. Having recovered through the use of
Swayne’s Ointment, he now announces that
he will row Haulan any time this Summer.

Alonzo D. McCarthy, 3 young lawyer of
Decatur, had, had great difficulty in winning
Miss Rhodes for a bride. She loved him,
but feared that his habit of frequent intox-
ication would make him a sot, and would
only consent to marry him on his solemn
promise of total, abstinence. 0n the (lay ap-
pointed for the wedding he committed sul-
cide,‘ leaving letters to explain that he could
not keep his pledge, and would die rather
than break-it. , .

AN APOLOGY FOR GAZING AT A YOUNG LADY IN

The sermon was long
And the preacher was prosy;
Do you think it was wrong P
The sermon was long,
The temptation was strong,
Her checks were so rosy,—
The sermon was long
And the preacher was prosy.

You’ve spoken of love
And I’ve answered with laughter;
You’ve kissed my—kid glove,
You’ve spoken of love,—
Wily, powers above!
Is there more to come after
You've spoken of love
And I've answered with laughter!

One ,of the objections urged against pro-
posed tunnel across the English Channel is
that it would open a highway for the lava-
sion of Grelit Britain in case of war with
Continental powers. Dr. Sipmens suggests
a novel plan of defense from such invasion
should the tunnel be constructed. He would
arrange chambers of chalk, in communication
with the shore ends of the tunnel, in such
a manner that the chalk might be readily
flooded with dilute muriatic acid. The result
of turning on the acid would be the rapid
filling of a half-mile or more of the tunnel
with carbonic acid gas, through which no
human beings could pass alive.
In the operation known as skin grafting,
Dr. Lamalleree, of Paris, recently used at
the same time grafts from the abdomen of a
rabbit and from the forearm of a man. The
skin from the rabbit gave much the better
results, as it readily adhered and grew
while the other did not. Three months
after the operation the healing of the sore
had continued to progress favorably, and
the engrafted skin showed no trace of its or-
igin. .
It has been estimated that there are about
6,000 species of birds, of which fivcosixths
are known. The Coues list of North Ameri-
icau birds now embrace 888 species, 120 new
species having been added during the last
eight years.
By what he terms a galvano plastic
method, a member of the Berlin Physical
Society has succeeded ,in coating organic
bodies with metal, so that they may be in-
definitely preserved. He has shown num-
erous articles—such as a beetle, a butterfly-
a crab, a mulberry leaf and a rosebud—
plated with gold, silver and copper, and
showing perfectly every detail of their exter-
nal forms. \
_ Dr. Berenger-Fcraud has described a eu-
rlous people-the itinerant musicians who
travel in every part of Central Africa, from
the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean. They are
known as Griots, and constitute a distinct
confederation, under the authority of a chief
whose influence is very powerful among its
scattered members, and who levies: heavy
tax from their general receipts. They are
regarded with fear and repugnance by the
negro natives of the lands which they
traverse, and are looked upon as members
of an impure caste, whose dead are capable
of bringing sterility and perpetual drouth to
the ground in which they are buried. They
are skillful in improvising and reciting;
some play the violin and guitar, while others
beat the tam-tam, or play on various dis-
cordant wind instruments. Their confeder-
ation is undoubtedly of long standing. They
maintain some degree or intercommunication
among the African race, but frequently
make mischievous use of the extraordinary
license granted them of going where they
will by fomenting quagels among the vari-
ous tribes. '
Ime. William Ramsey suggests that the
Vibration theory be applied to account for
the sense of smell, as he deems it probable
that smell is excited by vibrations of a lower
period than those which give rise to the
sense of light or heat. These vibrations are
conveyed to the network of nerves in the
cavity by gaseous molecules from the sub-
stance giving the order. The difference-of
smells is caused by the nature and rate of
such vibrations, just as difference in tone of
musical sounds depends on the nature and
rate of vibrations.
Transitory coloroblinduess has been pro-

Before an English committee of inquiry,
Dr. John Hopkiuson has expressed the belief
that the whole of the electricity generated
by. one horse-power would not do more than
hell a gallon and a half a water as Lhour.
This opinion was given as evidence that elec-
tricity is not likely to ever become cconomié
cally useful for heating purposes. I
A prize of $10,000 has been offered by
the French Government for the most useful
application of Voltaic electricity made dur-
ing the five years ending July 1, 1877, the
competition to be open to all persons.
Several of these so—called “Volta prizes"havc
at different times been awarded. the first
having been offered by Napoleon 1 just after
Volta invented his celebrated “pile.” The
last award was made to Prof. A. Graham
Bell in recognition of his telephonic achiev-
ements. i
The electrical exhibition soon to be held
at Munich will be of especial interest, as it is .
proposed,to use the 3,000 horse-power of the
river' Isar to drive the dynamo-electric
machines, and to show the possibility of
employing it: to light streets and houses at
a distance of some miles as well as to dis-
tribute the force to the various workshops.
Dr. Hasselberg, of Pulkova, has been able
to trace to some distance in the tail of the
comet the bright lines of sodium seen by
many obserters in the spectrum of Comet.
Wells. This abscrvation as an important
one, and must explode many of the thorics
advanced concerning the constitution of those
remarkable and mysterious appearances
known as comet's tails.
The quantity of silver held in a solution
by the waters of the ocean is roughly esti-

Tnn. Tears—lat. Never crack nuts with
the teeth, or bite very hard substances; it
breaks or cracks the enamel and hastens
decay.—2nd. Always brush the teeth before
going to bed’. if not in the morning also,
arid use a wooden or quill tooth-pick (not
plan or other metal) to remove any food from
between the teeth. Use only a moderately
stiff tooth-brush ; a very stiff one injures the
gums, and promotes decay—3d Do not
use any of the “boughten” tooth-powders,
unless it be finely powdered orris root. The ~
most active tooth-powders, which whiten the
teeth quickly contain injurious acids or alka-
lies. Charcoal, however fine, is not good -
it has the “grit” and wear of diamond duet:

firmly at once. It will be one of the best
possible investments of a
