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.

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

"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.

Surest Tranquilizer of the Nervea.
The surest tranquilizer cf the nerves la a
medicine which remedies their superseusi
tiveness by invigorating them. Over-tension
of the nerves alwavs weakens them. What
they need, then, is a tonic, not a sedative.

tense mental excitement and an immediate
necessitv exists for producing quietude of
the braiu. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters re
stores tranquility of the nerves by eudowinjj
them with the vigor requisite to bear, with
out being jarred or disturbed unhealthfully,
the ordinary impressions produced through
the media ot sight, hearing and reflection.
Nay, it does more than this, it enables them
to sustain a decree of tension from mental
application which they would be totally un
able to endure without its assistance. Such
at least is the irresistible conclusion to be
drawn from the testimony of business and
professional men, litterateurs, clerymen.and
others who have tested the fortifying aud
reparative influence of this celebrated tonic

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."
