Newspaper Page TextThe Princess of Thule. In the New York Ti ibunethe following pirarapli appeared in regard to one of the most pleasing characters of modern fiction: ,. , ! 3Ir. William Clack's Tnncess of Thule is said to be a real person. A tourist in the Hebrides w as lately directed to a ho tel belonging to the KiDgof Borva, w hich was kept by his royal daughter. It ap pears Unit Hi- Majesty, known in common life as Mr. Hunter, keeps an inn and farm at a place called Gawna-hins, on the west side of the Lewi, where tourists and peo ple in search of a holiday go to spend Eome weeks at a time to fish. He has also taken a hotel in Stornoway, where he may be seen, the tourist says, "In pray clothes, w ith an imposing full-moon face, well-combed, grizzled beard, pompous, dignified and commonplace, his princi pal characteristics, or, rather, qualities, for characteristic is too angular a word to be applied to him, being, as far as I could iudre, utter insijrniiicance and boundless sense of his own importance. Mairie is just Maine (her real name is Annie) and makes an awful chatter as she sits at the table. Her English carries her as far as 'yes' and 'no.' She looks mor tnlly insulted if any oue addresses a long sentence to her in English. "As for the Princess Sheila herself, she flitted around on the evening of our ar rival, evidently the presiding genius of everything, taking care that we had no opportunity of st-iring at her. She is very ladylike, more like an ordinary English girl than anything more poetical; not pretty, but sweet, refined and thoughtful. It was disappointing to see a miserable lolland dress with shabby frills. Every thing was well arranged; carpets, crock ery, wall-paper, &c, were chosen with taste totally diildrent from what one sees in country or eveu town hotels. I have since he ird that we were fortunate to have had a glimpse of her at all, as but few have an opportunity of seeing the hero ine of Mr. Black's story. Thousands of visitors have been attracted to the island of Lewis from reading the novel, audit is said the King is taking advantage of his fame and fast making his iortuue by keeping an inn." Since this was written the Princess Sheila has married, and the m:iny admirers of the heroine among the wealthy and fashionable people of Lou don presented her with elegant gifts. The story is very interesting in itself, but taken in connection with the follow iner letter from Mr. Black to the same pa per of later date, there is an added in terest. Mr. Black says: "It gives me great pleasure to find in & paragraph in your paper of this morn ing some finally definite particulars about the original of the character ot 'bheila in A Princess of Thule.' It 13 true that I have on several occasions been introduced, when in the Highlands, to young ladies who, as I afterward learned, were regard ed by their friends as having suggested the character in question; but there al ways seemed tome to be some little difii culty about that, as I had not previously had the honor of the young ladies' ac quaintance. There is less dilriculty about this Princess of Thule. who, as I see, has now been discovered and described by an amiable and ingenuous tourist; for I re member having at least seen and spoken to, before writing the book, the inukeep er, and the innkeeper's two daughters w ho have thus been satist ictonly identi fied. To the best of my recollection, the innkeeper was a most worthy person I regret that the tourut iouud him rather commonplace who kept excellent wine and his diutrhters displayed a skill and diligence in serwing us with boiled salmon and potatoes which demanded and re ceived our sincerest erratitude. That ony of those homely but agreeableyoung peo ple the tourist does not explicitly say which was afterward to be represented in a book as a woman capable ot produc ing some brief impression on London so ciety by reason of her unusual beauty and dignity of manner, w as an idea that certainly did not occur at the moment either to myself or to my companions; but as we live we learn, and I now accept the information with much meekness. In fact, I suppose everybody who scrib bles a bit of fiction has discov ered how singularly keen and prompt is the discernment of his friends in ferreting out the unmistakable originals of all his characters. In the present case I am heartily delighted to see that the discovery ha3 been made to some profit. If it is a pity to find that the so-called 'King of Borva is after all only an inn keeper, and indeed rather a commonplace innkeeper, still it is comforting to know that he is making money; and as for the mariiage presents sent by enthusiastic persons in London to his daughter, I hope the young lady wore them on her wed ding day with becoming grace and mod esty. One parting word, if you will al low me, to my friend the tourist. lie ought not to use harsh language about any innkeeper, however taciturn or com monplace he may find him. A laudlord may be pardoned for being occasionally reticent as, for example, when he hap pens to encounter a guest who is over-iu-quisitive,and perhaps also a trifle foolish." Railroad Building. According to the true reports of the railroad interests of the couutry it appears that there has been a decided revival of railroad building during the year now closing. Some two thousind miles of new railroads have been constructed so fir, which is almost d.mble ;ho amount reported for the same time in 1S75. The R tilway Age concludes from this encouraging showing that the panic has fully stent its force, and that railway building has already been resumed with new vigor and confidence. If so much new road can be constructed in ten months, while business is languishing, or at least uncertain and hesitating, what is lairly to be interred for the coming year, after all our present doubts and appre hensions shall have been peacefully re moved ? It is a cheerful side of the times, aud we present it as such w ith gladness ourselves. Russia andFiuvateeuing. There is a story current that Russia has asked per mission to send her navy to American waters, in which it would be safe in case of a war with England over Turkey. There is also another rumor afloat to the effect that American ship owners will ask Russia for letters of maique and reprisal, with which to tit out privateers to prey upon British commerce in the event of such a war. But by such a step Russia would entirely repudiate the Treaty of Paiis of 1S5G, to which she was a party. That would absolve England aud all the other signing powers from their obliga tions, aud lay Russia open to most serious iucursions from all sides. It is extreme ly doubtful if she would take a step like that at this time. She will have enough to attend to w ithout shouldering needless jobs. Is it proper to call a retired black iith an ex-pounder. From Bombay to London. j Dr. Waters, of the Bombay army, says the Manchester (England) Examiner, has done a bold and adventurous deed which entitles him to rank as a celebrated rider, only second to Mr. McGahan and Capt. Burnaby, the heroes of two equally re markable jouruey3 to Khiva. Dr. "Wa ters, while stationed at Bushire, obtained three months' leave, and he resolved to use it in the usual manner by visiting England, but he determined to vary the monotonous record of other travelers homeward by going overland all the way across Persia, Russia and the Con tinent, until he reached the shore opposite our "tight little island." He rode first of all through Persia to the borders of the Caspian a distance of nearly 1,000 miles in fourteen days, thus making an average rate of progress amounting to seventy miles a day. The work was made one of enormous difficulty by the wretched state of the roads, which were so bad in some places that only twenty six miles a day could be accomplished; but as an example or his method ot making up for lost time, it may be men tioned that on one umv. as he drew near the Caspian, he covered 120 miles, and followed that upon the next day by a journey of 100 mile3. Once on the Gas man his progress was made easier, lie took boat to Baku, thence to Astrakhan, and from there to Czantzen on the Voljra, where he took train to Warsaw, and afterwards went to Berlin, to Calais and London. After a short sojourn in this country, he started back on a journey no less auventurous. lie went ursi u Alexandria, irom there to lieyrout, ana on to Damascus, from which point he struck out, still riding, on a route which had only been attempted by two Euro peans before him, i. e., straight across the reat Syrian Desert to Lagaai, alter which his return to Bushire was compara tively easy. To have completed this extraordinary journey within three months from which a month spent in England has been deducted, required a combina tion of qualities of a very high order. 1 tie man needed to be a good rider, to have great powers of endurance and a large stock of courage; and all these, it is evident, Dr. v aters possesses. It is interesting to find that though the gal lant traveler carried a flask of brandy, he made limited use of the stimulant, for he ouly says he used half a small flask ful in a ride of nine hundred miles. One of the most astonishing circum stances about the feat is the smallness of the cost of the westward journey. Dr. Waters had ahorse to start with, but he was obliged to hire a good deal in Persia. This item of expense amounted, at a rate of about seven-pence a mile for two horses, to G80 Persian krans, or a little under 27. From Ensoli-on-the-Caspian to Czaritzen, first-class by steamer was 55 roubles, and the fare from there bv rail through Warsaw to Berlin, 70 roubles, or, altogether, 10 3s 4(1. From Berlin to London cost 8; so that the whole outlay from Bushire to Encrland. includniir. Dr. Waters sav?, a liberal margin for incidental expenses, did not exceed 50. The cost of travel ing between the same points by the sea is given at 100 that is, 20 from Bu shire to Bombay, aud 80 from Bombay to England via Brindisi. The route of Dr. Waters has, therefore, an economical advantage; but that, he says, is nothing compared with the charming novelty, the varying beauty, and the historical interest of the journey across Persia and thence by the Caspian to the banks of the olga. Origin of the "Jersey Blues." In November, 1TTG, Washington, with thirty-five hundred soldiers, entered New ark on his retreat through New Jersey, and remained encamped for six days. On the morning of November 28, U ash ington marched out of Newark in a south westerly direction, and Lord Corn wall is and hn army marched pompously in from. New York. The British officers quartered themselves in the best houses, and demanded the best furniture to make their rooms comfortable. When they moved on, they took the furniture along with their luggage. A British garnso was left in Newark until after the battle of Trenton. Both officers and soldiers com mitted so many outrageous acts that a volunteer company was secretly formed to punish them whenever an opportunity should occur. These volunteers were furnished by the Newark women with tow frocks and pantaloons dyed blue which was the origin of the name "Jersey Blues" and were commanded by Capt. Littell, who distinguished himself by many daring exploits. On the day which the British garrison abandoned Newark and marched to Eliz abeth, it was noted that a detachment was sent toward Connecticut Farms, pur pose not known. Captain Littell and his Blues speedily followed them. Coming suddeuly upon the unsuspecting enemy, Littell ambushed a few men in the rear, and appeared in front with the rest of his force, aud demanded an instant surrender. They turned to escape, aud, finding them selves thwarted, laid down their arms without firing a gun. The British gen eral was exasperated by their capture, and ordered out a body of Hessians to avenge the affront; but Littell goaded them by spirited attacks, without special exposure to his own men, until he had them driven into a wretched swamp, where he com pelled them to surrender to greatly in ferior numbers. Moititied bejoud meas ure at this second discomfiture, a troop of horses was sent to annihilate the "rebel devils;" but they iu turn were routed, aud sought safety iu flight. A Tory was finally persuaded, through the offer of a large reward,to lead three hundred troops to Littell's house in the night for the pur pose of catching him off his guard. As they were preparing to storm the dwell ing, they were attacked in the rear so sharply as to be driven precipitately away. While collecting their scattered forces in the road below, Littell, who had formed an ambuscade along a fence line, fired upou them, aud the commander fell. In the coufusion and darkness they were unable to fjrm any estimate of the num ber of their assailants, and fl,d like their predecessors. Martha J. L,mb, in Har per's Magazine. A German enlisted ia the regular army; in the course of a few days he was put ou picket duty. His instructions wete, when anybody approached, to say, "Who comes there?" three times au'd then shoot. Before long he 'perceived a man approaching; he waited quietly till the man came very near, then he sudden ly brought his musket to his shoulder ana shouted, "Y ho comes dere times?"

I find continually the most ancient painted pottery and the very rudest and most primitive terra-cotta idols 01 Juno in female and cow form. Of course, it is perfectly certain that the rubbish which covers the entraKce has oeen urougnt there from other places, but as it cou- tains only fragments of the most ancient painted terra cottas, the filling up of the entrance must have already been affected at a remote antiquity, and the age of the treasure itself probably exceed- by more than three centuries that w hich 1 attrib uted to it in my last report (1230 B. C). Of the idols f. und in the treasury, the most ancient Juno idols, in the shape of a worn m, are very rudely made, with out painted ornaments, and have either an oblong or round head, with or with out a diadam, and large eyes; some are with, others without breasts; the hands are either protruding or folded on the breast. No doubt to the same epoch bo long the female idols with a very com pressed hare head, large eyes, protruding hands and no breasts, or with two breast, below which a horn protrudes on each side, so that both horns together fjrm a half circle; further, the male idol iu Asi atic style, with a bare head ornamented with an incised diadem, showing in front a star, a long, aquiline nose, large eyes and a long protruding Assyrian beard; fur ther, the most aichaic cow idols with painted red or black ornament. Lastly, I have to mention the less frequent le- malo idol with a perfectly modeled cow head; but this typo is only found 011 handles of vases, and the body ot the woman is never complete; it never reaches further down than the breast, aud Ire quently finishes with the neck, on which the nicklace is never forgotten. Except a button, w ith a gold blade, no objects ot tr-dd or silver have been found yet, but that these metals have been in exten sive use can not he doubted ; a porphyry tormstone which I found shows on both sides together fifteen different types of eir-nnirs and other ornaments, all i which must have been of gold or silver Of bronze objects a treasure was discov ered at a depth of fifteen feet; it consists of five knives, two small w heels, two lances, two two-edged hatchets, hairpins, two vases and reiiinauts of four others and of a tripod. There was also found a considerable number of perforated agates, with engravings ot auimals, which are very archaic, but show in several instan ces an advanced art; all these agates are evidently derived from necklaces. There is no end to the variety of aichaic vase painting; in fact, there are almost as many varieties as there are vases. The most interesting to me are always those which have outside and inside pa'ntel ornaments, and, wonderful to say, lhesi are in the majority. In writing this I see before me a vase showing on its out side the common representation of hsh spines an the inside of fish. Of pure white glass I sometimes find small w hite balls, but more frequently small perfor ated objects of a black glassy substance iu the form of buttons, which seem to have served as wall ornament-', aud small cones ornamented all over with an im pressed screw line. Of real inscriptions I have hitherto found only two or three; one of them was on both sides of a Juno idol in form of a woman, another inscription was on a mutilated cow idol, aud a third is on a disk. Of them all I have sent most care ful copies to my esteemed fiiend, Professor Max Muller, who considers them too indistinct and fragmentary to warrant any expression of opinion lor the present, but who hopes that the shape of the letters in a short Greek inscription may serve to fix the date of some of the building. Dr. Schliemann, in London Times. Influence of War on l-iagc. Primitive Mar- In a tribe not habitually at war, or not habitually successful iu war, no decided effect is likely to be produced on the mariiage customs. If the great majority of the men have native wives, the pres ence of a few whose superiority is shown by having foreign wives will fail to change the practice of taking native wives; the majority will keep one anoth er in countenance. Uut if the tribe, be coming more successful in war, robs ad jacent tribes of their women more fre quently, there will grow up the idea that the now considerable class having foreign wives form the honorable class, aud that those who have not proved their bravery by bringing back these living trophies are dishonorable: non-possession of a for eign wife will come to be regarded as a proof of cowardice. An increasing am bition to get foreign wives will therefore arise? and as the number of those who are without them decreases, the brand of disgrace attaching to them will grow more decided; uutil, in the most wariike tribes, it becomes an imperative require ment that a wife shall be obtained from another tribe if not in open war, theu by private abduction. A few facts, showing that by savages proofs of courage are often required as qualifications for mariiage, will carry home this conclusion. Herudou tells us that among the Mahues a man cauuot take a wife until he has submitted to severe torture. Bites, speaking of the Pastes on the Upper Amazons, says that formerly "the young men earned their brides by valiant deeds in war." Before he is allowed to marry, a young Dyak must prove his bravery by bringing bck the head of an cuemy. llincroit quotes Colonel Cremony as saving that when tiie Apache warriors return uuuccessful, "the women turn away from them with assured indifference and contempt. They are upbraided as cowards, or for want of skill and tact, and are told that such ineu should not have wives." That, among other results of sentiments thus exemplified, abduction of women will be oue, is obvious; for a man who, denied a wife till he has proved his courage, steals one, sutistics his want aud achieves repu tation at the same time. If, as wc see, the test of deserving a wife is in some cases obtainmeutof a trophy, what more natural tlun that the trophy should olten be the stolen wife herself. What more natural than that w here many warriors of the tribe are distinguished by stoleu wives, the stealing of a wife should be come the required proof of fitness to haveouef Hence would follow a per emptory law of exogamy. Herbert Spen cer, in Popular Science Monthly. Bishop Bowman saw an earnest, queer- lookiui' brother followimr him around for some time, and he avoided hini; but finally, weary of the shadow, the Bishop turned around, and said, "What do you w ant, my friend?" The man said, "I must ask a question. I have sought light on it from many preachers and commen taries, but have found no satisfaction. I must ask you, What was the color of those serpents that bit the Israelites?" COURTESY OF BANCROFT Frosted Zinc Corinthian Monuments.

The Old and. the New Wav of Making Pianos. Iieader, do you know why the Piano as Uerelotore const! uctcd bus been eucb a troublesome instrument, always out of tunc, iihnobt us sensitive to atinospuerie changes as a barometer, and often breaking down completely ufler u few years service? We will tell you. There was one dilricuity that no piano manufacturer could obviate. The, birina are. always fastened at one end to tuning pins, which are turned oue way or the other to tihteu or loosen the 6lnns dui ing the process of tuning. It is un abso lute necessity that these tuning pins bhollld work in wood, because, if they were set iu unyieldiug metal, it would be impossible to turn theiu on accouut of the strong tension of thu stiings. .Now, ull wood, and especial ly all Keasoued wood, swells aud coi; tract us the air lb damp or diy. How could it be ex pected that pel iett reliance could be put, upou a block of wood perforated villi numerous holes for holding the pins, and subjected to a strain ot many lonslroiu the combined pull of the btriims? Now for the remedy. In the new invention, called the liogeib 1'iano, the strings are tuned, not by turning the pins, but by drawing up both strings and pins, the latter standing fast in a uictal slide which is worked by a set screw. Thus, the wooden piu-block is dispensed with entirely, and we have a 1'iano in which all the strain is sus tained by solid iron, aud upon which no ex treme of climate or weatber can have the slightest eU'ect. If you are interested to know more of this valuable invention, 6cnd to Blackniar it Davis, San Francisco, for a circular of the Rogers Piano. The American Sewing Machine. Our attention lias recently been called to this wonderlul triumph ol mechanical art alter years of untiring ellbrt and experiment. A machine has at length been presented to the public that seems to defy further im provemeut. Its first most striking feature is its simplicity of construction. It runs very lightly is almost noiseless. Having but few working parts there is but little friction, and consequently not liable to get out of order. Its shuttle requires no threading, and does not break needles or thread by being started backwards. We advise our readers to sec it before buying. The agency in San Fran cisco is at 11 Fifth street.
