Government Chemists have reported, after an examination of the different brands, that the ROYAL Bak ing Powder is absolutely pure, greatest in strength, and superior to all others. ROYAL BAKINQ POWDER COMPANY, tOSWAU. ST. NSW-YORK. How llrttUh Author Orgunlted. It is now nwirty eight ywirs since a "mall body of men, fifteen or twenty in number, met to l locust the question whether any thing niiftht he (tone by union to remedy abusa which were strongly felt, but had never been formulated, proved or defined, Thts wa the origin of the society, which now numhei-H iSt) members, and is every year lnereasiuv; hi strength, in reputation and in the elean.t'ss of its aims. It must be acknowledged that at first these aims were almost tin viiaueiib those of the former society. There wan blind imtination, there wiut atuoldenug lire anions the great body of the literary craft, but when one came to examine into the facts, su far as they had letfn iiHwrUiiiieu, then was little but aiMpieum to go upon. We therefore set ourwetve ;it oik' to the arq unit ion and acciimniatmi! ot the facts as connected with the practical btuinetwof managing literary proiertv. We sfieHiilviliMroveml enough to enable us to take u first detinite step, and at a public meeting to be held at Willis' rooms we claimed theribt of the author, as one party in a joint vmture or partnership, to examine and audit the accounts furnished by the other contracting tarty a modest step, apparently; in reality, a most impor tant step, a step which leads to everything else. Because, when two men are engaged in the same venture, if one of the two w excluded from the fight of the books, that one occupies an interior position. He is de pendent. He is like the man who numbly brings to his master the produce of his owii labor and goes away making his salaam for any pieces of silver which may be tossed hi in. How this claim was resented how it is still resented by certain pub lishers snows that theyuuve always under stood very clearly what it would mean to them and to what it would lead. This claim advanced and kept boldly before us, we returned to our research, which was nothing less than learning the whole of the business of publishing from the publishers' side. We were en abled to follow up our investigation by all kinds ot materials publishers' agree ments. Ietters.nnd the evidence of printers, bookbinders, advertisement agents, clerks, travelers, publishers themselves until at last we found ourselves fairly in a position to understand the methods pursued by every publishing bouse of any importance Walter Uesant in Forum, - Why NiiMHt lVnvy Died.

"I met with a serious fall." "Indeed," replied the merchant, relent ing. "Are you hurt much?' "Principally, sir, in your estimation.' answered the clerk respectfully. "Oh, never miud that," said the mer chant kindly. "I am very sorry and had no intention to be severe. We are all liable to uccidents. How did you getthe falir "Well, yon see, sir," said the clerk confidingly, "I was called quite early this morning earlier, in fact, than usual." "Ah!" "Yes, sir; but somehow or other I fell asleep again." "Go to your desk, sir, and don't try that on again," exclaimed the merchant, with an air of severity which was belied by the twinkle in his eye, which denoted tliat he enjoyed the joke. New York Herald. Lightning's Strange Heleetlon, Probably one of the most remarkable lightning accidents of the period was that which took place in one of the east ern counties lately. A num wits shear ing a sheep. Another man, puling on a pony, stopped to exchange a few words with the shearer and watch the clipping operution Air a minute or two. He hail been standing there but a very short time when a sharp crack of thunder was preceded by a blinding flush of lightning. The shearer was startled almost out of his senses by seeing the pony and its rider suddenly collapse in a heap, but in a second the man was np, quite unhurt. Then the shepherd, happening to glance at the animal beneath him, found that the lightning had served it as it had served the pony. The sheep was stone dead! This, it may be as well to state, is a perfectly true story. London Tit Bits. The Heat Language For Telephoning. The French language, it appears, is better adapted to the purpose of the tele phone than the English. It is stated that the large number of sibilant or hiss syl lables in English renders it a less easy and accurate means of communication. Some English words are especially diffi cult of transmission by telephone. The word "soldier" is cited as one of these, Proper names frequently occur in the midst of an otherwise perfectly audible and intelligent conversation which the ear cannot possibly catch. These must be spelled out, involving delay, Elec tricity. Considerable Mutuality, Mrs. Lakeside You are Mr. Pork chop's second wife, are you not? Mrs. Porkchop Yes, he w.as married once before.

One of the leading families in Stmt- ' yurt gave u snppor party to which the prince royal bud hum Invited. His royal bighueHS arrived little before all the preparations for the feast were com pleted. Observing that ho bad arrived a little too soon, he decidud to take a short stroll in front of the house while daylight was fading into dark. Sud denly a trim servant inuid bounded out of the bouse und ran up to the prince, to whom Bhe handed a parcel containing, ts it afterward turned out. a large piece of sausage and. snuie money, and ex claimed under her breath: "Yon won't have to come today; we're having a large party, the princo him self is coming; so goodby till tomor row I" and with that she gave bis royol highness u couple of harly kisses and disappeared before he had time to get a word out. A moment later he perceived a sol dier iu his cloak, who was casting wist ful glances ut the lighted windows of the house, and asked hint if bin sweet heart lived there, and on the man's re plying in the aiUrmutive the prince con tinued: "Then this tutrcel must lie intended for yon. The person who brought it sends you word that you ure to come to morrow, for she has no time today on account of tbe party." "Much obliged: it's all right. I'll come tomorrow," suid the soldier. "She gavu me something; liesides," tbe prince went on to say, "but 1 can't deliver yon that." "Oh, you may keep it nnd welcmne," rejoined tbe soldier. "I've plenty here for todiiy." Evorylsxly ut the party noticed that his highness was more lively and gmxl humoral than usual. He narrated his adventure over tbe cigars and wine, but exuutcd a promise that neither tbe sent, ant girl nor tbe soldier should suffer in couseinence of the disclosure. Leeds Mercury. Heirs Apparent anil l're.aiiiitlve. There seems to lie a gmsl deal of con fusion in tho minds of tbe public and the press as to what constitutes the dif ference between un "heir presumptive" and an "heir apparent," and one gentle man who has Won informed that then) is no "heir presumptive" to the throne ut the present time, writes to inquire of me whether Prince Ueorge of Wules is not entitled to that designation. I should say certainly not. In point of law, the heir is the party who succeeds to un estate or u dignity by the demise of the previous holder: and u iniin can only have during his life un "heir ap parent." orun "heir persumptivo." The Prince of Wales is now the heir apparent to the throne, and while he lives there can bo no other heir. Prince George is tbe heir apparent to the princedom of Wules, anil he is not heir to the throne at ull, except in the loose and inaccurate sense in which all iwr sous who may by any possibility be come entitled are ssiken of us "heirs." The difference between an heir ap parent and an heir presumptive is tMit tbe heir apparent must succeed if he survives the present holder of the dig nity: while un heir presumptive, al though the heir at tbe moment, is liable to have bis right to the succession de feated by tho birth of another heir. There cannot, therefore, be ,:. tbe same time an heir apparent and an heir pre sumptive. Should the Princo of Wales succeed to the throne, Prince George, if then living, will become the heir ap parent to tbe throne. Should Princo (ieorge succeed to the throne before he has children the Duchess of File would lie the heir presumptive, her right to tbe succession being ulwuys liable to bo defeated by the birth of a direct heir to her brother.

Even the native journals often chronicle murvcls like the instantaneous cure of incurable diseases, or the feeding thousands out of a small measure of rice. One of these prints gives a description of bow a saint ly Wunyasi suved the lives of a certain rajah and his escort from a wild ele phant. As the party was proceeding through tbe Lower Himalayas u mon strous tusker broke out of tbe jungle and set to trumpeting. The rajah and his followers were considerably scared, and were giving themsolves up for lost when a noble lookirur SikiiviuiMumwHtenfl and, standing iu front of the travelers, told them to shout a cortain order to tin) elephant.
