A Virginia widow refused to marry a bald-headed man, though he was a mil lionaire. She explained : "We'd have a family fight sometime, and he has no hair . to catch hold of." If Harper's "Drawer" may be believed, a little girl wrote to her absent papa that Ponto (the puppy) wa s"growing bigger and bigger every day, and some times twice a day."

"My dear," said a gentleman to hi3 wife, "our new club is going to have all the home comforts." Indoed!" sneered the wife; "and when, pray, is our home to have all the club comforts?" "Sir," said a lady recently to an Aber deen merchant, "jour pretty daughter has married a rich husband." "Well," slowly replied the father, "I believe she has married a rich man, but I understand he is a very poor husband." It will be a great comfort when the whole of this country is a hundred years old.

"l ean't understand goot Jinglese," re peated the Dutchman. "Take your seat," cried the judge; "that s no excuse; you need not be alarmed, as you are not likely to hear any." Some one has discovered that there is actually a law in force which permits money to be earned as baggage. Since this is the case we may travel consider ble this year. It was the supposed ab sence of such a law that kept us at home so much. Norristown Herald. A minister in one of his parochial visits met a cow-herd, and asked him what o'clock it was. "About twelve, sir," was the reply. "W ii," quoth the minister, "I thought it had been more." "It's never any more here," said tlie boy; "It just begins at one again." Before beginning the second psalm of the day, a Glasgow minister reached down into his pocket and took a pinch of snuff. Even yet he cannot understand what there was in the first verse of the psalm to make the congregation laugh when he read, "My soul cleaveth to the dust." An Inflexible Jcdge. Beverly Smith walked out of cell No. 6, with the greatest promptness, and as he ranged before the desk and smiled, he said : "Well, this is indeed a surprise I Why, I hadn't the remotest idea of finding you here I Shake, old fellow !" His honor wouldn't. "Don't you remember your old school mate, Bev Smith?" inquired the prisoner. "Don't you remember how we used to steal melons together how we both went over the mill-dam in an old boat how we read novels under the lee side of hay stacks?" A strange light crept into his honor's eyes as he replied "Ah! I remember you uowl So you are Bev Smith?" "I am I am. I thought you'd re member me. I'm awful glad to see you, judge. Are you well?" "Quite well, thank you." An awkward silence followed. Mr. Smith heard, the boys chuckling, and at length said "Glad to hear it yes yes. I should like to call on you and talk over old times." 'Beverly Smith 1" said the Court in a voice resembling the distant explosion of a coal cart, "you are now about to call on the superintendent of the House of Correction, there to remain for ninety long days." "What! Sentence an old companion!" "All the same, Beverly all the same. The friends of my childhood are few in number. They are falling down stairs, being drowned, blown up and run over, and I'm going to put you where you will be safe from accident !" "Dont, judge 1" "But I willl I prize you, Beverly.

"Judge, I I don't think I ever knew you I stammered Beverly, but thero was a lignt in the window for him - Detroit rtt rreu. Prince Albert. If there be any general impression in this country about Prince Albert it is that he was "a good young man," and a little of "a prig;" and if there be any book which might be supposed to have the least interest for American readers, it would probably be a life of the Prince Consort in four huge volumes, Yet three such volumes have been published, and they are singularly interesting, both as the portrait ot a man ot wuom very little was really known, and as a sketch of European politics in their relations with England for a quarter of a century from 1835 to 1860. The Queen's Journal, which wa9 published some years ago, was a singularly naive picture of her simple character, and was full of an unmistak able tone of domestic happiness. Those who read it carefully could not help in ferring from it a private family history, which was much more striking th'an any thing which it narrated, and it has been universally conceded that the prolonged sorrow of the widowed Queen has had reason such as seldom exists in royal pal aces. While he lived there was always a kind of contemptuous British hostility of feel ing toward Prince Albert. Those who recall the earlier years of his English life will remember the constant and coarse chaff that wa3 blown at him by common jrossio. John Briaht, in a speech last autumn, spoke of the English hatred of Russia, and Mr. Green, in his history, de scribes the general English dislike of ll foreigners. This was naturally aroused by the coming of a German princeling to marrv the Queen, and to take a kind of precedence of all Englishmen. The jeal ousy not only lasted during his life, but appears now upon the publication of the third volume ot nis memoirs, wnicli in cludes the Crimean war. There has been some angry writing to the papers about bus interference with the policy of the government, and an evident revival of the hard feeling toward the "German pauper." During the war he was believed by many persons to be a tool or agent of a Continental clique winch was secretly friendly to Russia, and even English members of Parliament suspected him of hindering and embarrassing the oper ations before Sevastopol. Yet at that very time he was writing the most re- proachlul and angry letters to the Rus sian and reactionary "King Cliquat" of Prussia lor his Russian sympathy: and throughout the war Albert seemed really to have the clearest head in England as to the truly emcient policy necessary tor the vigorous prosecution ot hostilities. Those who suppose the Prince Consort to have been a goody-goody, namby- pamby character, will be surprised to find that he was one of the most intelli gent and sagacious public men in Europe It was, however, the condition of his po sition tuat ne should never appear, or only in a ceremonial capacity. Nobody in England understood more clearly than he the instinctive British jealousy of him, and nobody could have refrained with more tact than he from giving it any plausible reason. Queen Anne's husband, Prince George of Denmark, was so wholly suppressed politically that many persons are surprised to learn she was married, although she was the mother of seventeen children. It was of Prince George that Charles II. said: "I have tried him drunk, anil I have tried him sober, but. drunk or sober, there is nothing in him;" and his father-in-law, James II., said, when George deserted hun, "A good trooper would have been a greater los When his wife came to the throne the prince was made Lord High Admiral of Eugland, and he was already generalis simo of all the Queen's forces. But the good sense and tact of Albert were such that when the Duke of Wellington begged him to consent to succeed him as com mander-in-chief of the army, Albert, a young man of thirty-one, declined the proposition in a way and for reasons which convinced the old Duke that he had made a mistake. The sagacity which appears in this de cision and the ability with which it was stated and urged; were shown in a very different way in the conception and or ganization of the great exhibition of 1831, the first of the great modern events of that kind. It wa3 not an amateur or dilettante work with Prince Albert. He mastered the details thoroughly, and was, in truth, the head of the enterprise. Indeed, the impression is forced upsn the reader of his life that few men have been more amply fitted for a very important and a very difficult post than he. He was naturally clever, refined, industrious and honorable. His youth was carefullv trained by study and travel wisely direct ed to his probable career. It was his good fortune to have in Baron Stockmar a Mentor of great experience and singula; good sense, with a gcniu3 for politic:?, who was of invaluable service to the young prince, whom he loved as a sou. At twenty-one Albert married the Queen, and from that time he lived in England, wholly devoted to the interests of that country, cultivating at the sam-a time the most intimate familiarity with conti nental affairs, and cherishing alwava a deep and tender regard for the welfare of his native Germany. rtotriing was more likelv to irritate John Bull than the feeling that the foreign husband of the Queen was interfering in the government, and Lord Pulmeraton played upon this feeling when he was dismisseQ from the Ministry of Lord Jchn Russell in 1830. This is an exceed ingly interesting story, showing the lig orous sense of her prerogative which the Queen had under her husband's tutelage, and also the impudence of Lord Palmer ston. Indeed, the whole book gives such glimpses of the interior of the British Government as arc not to bo seen slsp- wherc, and it "5s written with great narra tive skill and discretion by Theodore Martin. The book in English literature with which, by sheer force of contrast, it must be compared is Lord Hervey's "Me moirs of the Court of George the Second." A more dismal book than these memories is not to be found in that literature, nor a picture of baser society. The later story is one of a beautiful domestic life, of a Queen who loved her husband as Virgiaia loved Paul, and of the husband of a Queen of England who could not have been worthier of his place had he been a lineal descendant of Alfred. Harper's Magazine. After all, man is a generous bein. Not long ago one died iu Massachusetts who had been married only a year, and received a fortune of fifty thousand' dol lars from his wife. And what did he do when he fouud death staring him in the face? Not enrich his relatives as he might have done; he willed it all back to her again, on the simple condition that she should not marry again. The noble manl Woman's Words. It is the work of a philosopher to be every day subduing Lis passions and lay ing aside his prejudices. The Gatling Gun Company. The Paris Exhibition of 1878 w so emi nently peaceful that it is not without a slight shock we find ourselves looking at the four pretty, but deadly, specimens of improved guns standing under the name of the Gatling Company. If I could, I would turn my back on them; but it is mpossibie. There is an unwholesome fascination about the fair, deadly pieces. A woman is not more beautiful or more cruel. Nay," let us be just to the sex; the wickedest woman would be puzzled to work a tithe of the mischief that could be wrought in a few moments by either of the Gatlings. Of the four weapons. two are long-bareled, and two short. Of the former, one has ten, the other eight, barrels. The short guns intended chief ly for use on ships have respectively five and two barrels. They are con structed on the original principle of the Gatlings in most respects, but there is a notable alteration. lne cranK-handle is now placed in the rear of the gun. By this arrangement the effectiveness of the weapon is almost trebled. Experiments made in England lately testify to the ter rible power of the improved Gatlings. At a trial made a short time back, in the neighborhood of Chester, by the British military authorities, it was found that forty-four rounds could be fired with th ten-barrel gun in the space ol a secon and a quarter. This extraordinary rate could, however, hardly be kept up for long; but, nevertheless, it is allowable to calculate that a thousand rounds could, if necessary, be fired in a minute! The short five-barrel gun has attracted a great deal of attention in military cir cles, and it is no secret that the British Government is introducing them exclu sively into the uavy. They are remarka bly light, weighing only ninety-seven pound?, occupy little room, and can be taken to pieces and refitted in a few minutes. Besides these good points, they have others, which sufficiently ac couut for their adoption. By a simple screw arrangement, the muzzles can be depressed so much that torpedo-boats and other devilish prowling barks ap proaching a man-of-war would not have a chance provided a good watch were kept. To work the Gatling gun, two men are sufficient, one to point the piece and turn the Crauk-handle ; the other to supply ammunition to the im proved feud-case with which each is fitted. These feed-cases are upright metal magazines, made to hold rorty four cartridges apiece, a quautity which, as we have seen, can be expended in a second. In this class we have, besides the Gat lings, tpecimens of breech-loaders, ex hibited by the United States Regulation Firearms Company; Gardner cannon, from the Fratt & Whitney Company's works; and cartridges, from the Union Metallic-Cartridge Company. I hat com pleted the list, praise be to the saints. A step from this murderous corner brings me to the very complete and tatio factory show of cutlery, tools, locks, keys, and surgical instruments, one of the most important in tue American sec tion. I do not purpose discussing this part of the Exhibition, as nearly every thing in it has been seen at the Centen nial, and a mere list of names would be without interest to your readers. I no ticed the complete abstention of Chica go, both here and in many other cases, with some surprise. Cor. Chicago T'ri bune. - . "Give Us Manly Boys Men." Not Boyish As we listened to the utterauces of this sentiment by c.ne beloved and honored, we were deeply impressed with its force and importance. We mentally added give us, also, womanly girls not girlish woman. Who, w7io are to give us such boys and girls? Is there any special need for such ademand at the present day? " Upon the parents, guardians and edu cators of our youth does society make this claim, and it needs no market astute ness to describe the necessity of this claim. The great aim of the juveniles of botli sexes, nowadays, it would seem, is to doff as early as possible the habiliments that savor of childhood, and lo don those of maturity, together with the habits and manners of the beau and the belle. We hate too sudden transition - from the nur sery and short clothes to "society" and full dress. The time our young people should spend In preparing for life thoy are too eager to devote to self-exhibition and the enj ynont of life. And our daughters marry while yet th'jy need maternal guidance, and our aons launch out upon life, without stami na, without moral development, without manly vigor, they find themselves boys where they should show themselves men because, forsooth, they neglected the manly culture in their boyhood which would have secured a strong maturity. We do not sympathize with those who think "old Leads should be lound on young shoulders," but we do believe in strengthening and preparing those "young shoulders" to carry the head with firmness, with minly and womanly grace, when crowned with dignity and weighty with the responsibilities of maturiiyT To this end we would have the young longer limited to the sphere of discipline, sub ordination and study longer subjected to domestic and practical training, than present custom seems to sanction. Our sons and daughters come out too early. They somehow contrive to throw off all too soon, and too easily, parental authority, and to think and act for them selves. Their mind3 are diverted from the most important studies and pursuits at just the period when months are worth precious years, and years comprehend, iu their results and advantages whole de cades. Why cannot our yonth see that it' is character, culture, habits, and principles that makes the man or woman! It is not dress nor gallantries, nor flirtations, nor affected airs, nor unsoiled hands-, nor per sonal beauty neither is it wealthy pa rents or friends, nor aught that wealth can produce, that makes a true and noble man or woman. We have often found all these combined, where every element of a high-toned and desirable character was wanting. He came from the country seven years ago, and is now a well-to-do merchant. Last wctk he wrote to the old folks, tell ing them he hal married a lady with a very fine voice a "mezzo-soprano of very extraordinary compass." He received an answer from the maternal side of the house, informing him that his lamented aunt, was nfllicted with something of that sort during her life, but had already found relief iu placing a mustard pi ister on the sole of each foot, and drinking a pint of candeliou tea.

Walter Fruit Dryer. We clip the following from the " San Jose Wercury " of a recent date: u Mr. Sersovich has erected a long line of buildings on Seventh 6treet below Julian, to be used for fruit packing and drying pur poses. This drying house is called the 'Wal ter Fruit Dryer and Preserver,' and is com paratively a new invention, having been patented in 1875. There are in this city three of these houses, one bein owned by Lusk fe Co., aud two by Mr. Sersovich, the second naviugjust been erected. iJotu parlies are fcatisfied with tkeiu and consider them the best now in use. This process accomplishes all that could be desired in fruit drying, pre serving the delicate appearance of the iruit as also all the richuess and flavor. It is dried more cheaply than by any other process, as all the heat generated is confined aud mil ized, none being permitted to escape. The fruit is placed iu tiers in a circular case, and is expobed to exactly the same degree of heat, so that when taken out it is found to be dried to the same extent iu each tier. Tne beauty of this invention is its simplicity, aud the thorough manner in which it performs the work. It can readily be taken apart aud moved about from one place to anothr, aud may be set up in any orchard or vineyard, no building beiug required but that furnished with the machine. To erect other Drying Houses has been expensive, aud fruit drying among fruit producers has not been carried ou to any extent iu tliis county, but now that such a simple and eu'eclive Drying House as the 'Walter' can be erected, it is surprising that parties owning orchards instead of sell ing theiu do not purchase one of these houses aud dry the fruit themselves, deriving what profit can be made without allowing others lo do so."
