A Lon don correspondent writes:
“The Queen, with all her virtues,
takes queer freaks now and then and
acts in a manner that gives rise to un
favorable remarks. -She has never
been very fond of her youngest son.
Prince Leopold, and she has lately dis
played a curious indifference concern
ing him. The poor fellow is a student
at Oxford, where lie is said to be very
much liked. For some weeks he has
been dangerously ill, so ill that at
times his life was believed to bo in
danger. The Queen did not visit him,
nor did she send for him to come to
her. The young man saw nothing of
the fetes at Windsor and Mondon in
honor of the Czar and Ids daughter,
;fnl now his mother has gone off to
Scotland, leaving him in a condition
of suffering and of danger. Still,
Victoria is “the model and exemplar of
all the domestic virtues.”
Bread Chops in Alabama. —The
Montgomery Advertiser says the wheat
crop of Alabama will be much larger
than for many years past. This is
the testimony of all our State exchan
ges. The corn crop is doing well.
So we have reason to think that a
bread supply will be made this year.
Cotton is still small, and at least one
third less planted than last year. A
full crop therefore is impossible.—Tel
egraph it Messenger.
Cross-examination. —Attorney for
the prosecution—
“ Was there anything in the glass?’
Witness —“Well, there wassummat
in it.”
Attorney—“Ah! I thought we
should come to it in time. Well, my
good friend, what was the something
in it? Come, out with it.”
Witness (after thinking)—“Well it
wur a spoon.”
Some shrewd Chemist has discover
ed that gold, not in very large propor
tion, we are sorry to say, forms one of
the ingredients of salt water. Who
knows but he may be able to extract
coin enough from the East river to
pay the public debt withal ? That
would certainly prove to be an “ex
tract” worth having.
Tite Calfornia big trees have to bow
to some noble specimens recently dis
covered in Australia. A fig tree was
cut down by the Cove? nment surveyors
on the river Johnstone, last winter,
which at three feet from the ground
measured one hundred and fifty feet,
in circumference, and at fifty-five
feet, where it sent forth giant branch
es, nearly eighty feet.
PuYHiy.—One of our well-known
physicians, while conversing with a
fneiul one clay, observed another phy
sician driving past in his chaise
accompanied by one of his patients,
who was fast recovering.
‘‘Well,” said I)r. B. “I never took
a patient to ride in my life.”
‘‘No,” said our friend, “Mr. Pierce,
the sexton, saves you the trouble.”
Tiie India Famine Over.—The
worst of the terrible famine in India
is over. The Viceroy telegraphs to
the Home Government (May 30) that
rain has been general north of the
Ganges, and portions of the country
south of the river have been visited
with rain. The fears of further dis
tress arc thus moasuredly allayed.
In Mohammedan countries, pil
grims who have been to Mecca are
distinguished by green turbans, and
leave certain religious privileges, and
are so apt to presume on their piety
that it has become a proverb, “If a
man has been to Mecca once, watch
him; if twice do not trust him; if three
times, move out of his neighborhood.”
Four thousand women of Salt Lake
Gity have petitioned for prohibition
of the . sale of intoxicating liquors.
The misery caused by a drunken hus
band in a family of fifty or sixty
women and children must be great
indeed.
Mrs. Bread, of Sullivan county,
Illinois, lias verified the Scriptural in
junction, “Oast your bread upon the
waters,” etc. She cast her husband
(Bread) into a mill pond, but he came
back unsubdued and crusty.
From a letter of Daniel Boone to his
sister, which has just been published,
he docs’nt'appear to have been a good
speller, but it took a man of thought
to write that “God never made a man
of principle to lie lost.”
Speaking of last words, that was a
strikingly appropriate remark of a
California stage driver, who on his
death bed, was visited by a brother
“whip,” said: “Bill, I’m on the down
grade, and I can’t reach the brake.”
An old gentleman from the country
stopped recently at one of the highest
hotels in New York, and wrote home
ttint Irrs room was six stories high,
and his bill was three stories higher
than ins room.
A man out Most, who offered bail
for a friend, was asked by the Judge
if he had an incumbrance on his farm?
“0, yes, my old woman,” said he.
“Hallo, Jake, where did you buy
those fish?” “I didn’t buy ’em.”
“Well, where did you get them ?”
“1 hooked ’em.”
“Do you water your milk ?” asked
our landlady of her milkman. “No,
madam, but. we water our eows.” was

BOOK NOTICES.
B YU.or's Monthly Magazine for
Jri.v.—The July number of this pop
ular illustrated magazine is really su
perb. Jt contains some thirty nice
stories, and poetry which the higher
’price magazines would be glad to print.
The illustrations are timely, and those
of the Fourth of July arc amusing,
and will be particularly relished by the
vounger portion of the community,
while the sedate will be reminded of
their youth, and love of fun and gun
powder. Ballou’s Magazine is the
chcapes serial in the country, and thist
the people have discovered a long time
ago. 11 is only 81,50 per year, and to
each subscriber is given a nice cliromo.
Price fifteen cents single number.

We have just received from tlfe
Leonard Scott Publishing Company,
the May number of Blackwood’s Mag
azine, which opens with the continua
tion of “Valentine and his Brother.”
The interest of the story increases, as
the boys and their mother, who have
been so strangely seperated, are draw
ing very near to each other.
The article on “Hercules” was sug
gested by a recent picture—the Alces
tis of Mr. Leighton—which the wri
ter characterizes as one of the most
beautiful of modern pictures. It is
illustrated with copious tranlations
from the Alcestis and Frenzied Her
cules of Euripides, and the Tracbinise
of Sophocles, all of which tragedies
were founded on the legend of Her
cules. The comparisons on the treat
ment of the subject by the two dram
atists will be interesting to classical
readers.
“Convivium Tcmplare” is a festive
scene, somewhat in the style of the
famous “Nodes Ambrosiaiue,” and,
like them, requiring minute local
knowledge for full appreciation.
In “Alice Dorrainc, Part III.,” we
are carried to the lovely valley of the
Medway, and are treated to a graphic
medley of fruit-picking, tron t-iUhing,
and love-making in an oldfashioned
Kentish farm.
The present scries, No. V., of “In
ternational Vanities,/ treats of Em
blems. “The word emblem, in its
national application, represents to
most of us a Hag, and little else. But
it has other meanings, too;less impor
tant and less self-evident, it is true,
but which well merit to be remember
ed. Images of animals, badges, war
cries, cockades, liveries, ccats-of-arms,
tokens, and tattooing, have all been
accepted symbols of distinction be
tween races.” A brief description is
given of these various symbols, fol
lowed by a very entertaining history
of the Erench and other flags.
“Datesand Dates,” by Lord Lytton,
a clever off-hand plea for fable, byway
of good-humored response to some re
cent criticisms on “Fables in Song.”
In the “Budget and the Income-
Tax” we are told that “there is hradly
any subject within the range of En
glish politics about which so much
has been written and spoken as the
Income-Tax, and there is hardly any
subject about which the public mind
is so little matured.” A history of
the tax in question follows this remark,
and we are assured, in conclusion,
that it would be “extremely unwise to
part witn the system by which a con
siderable revnue may with so little
difficulty be raised.”
Robert Hunt says of the sun:
“The sun is not burning out. After
the lapse of thousands of years the
light of day is no less brilliant than
it was when man lived in primeval
abode. It can even be maintained
that the sun of the present Summer
shines with the same splendor as when
myriads of ages before man appeared
on this planet it stimulated the growth
of those luxuriant forests which form
ed by their decay those vast beds from
which we derive our coal. Not a ray
the less is poured out in any hour of
sunshine. Not the weight of even a
grain of matter is lost from the mass
of the sun. If cither the sunshine
was weakened or the weigh £of tho
vast globe diminished, the planets
would vary in their physical condi
tions, and their orbits would be
changed.”
How Strange!—lf a tallow candle
be placed in a gun, and shot at a door,
it will go through without sustainirg
any injury, and if a musket ball be
fired into water, it will not only re
bound, but be fiattened as if tired
against a substance. A musket ball
may be fired through a pane of glass
making a hole the size of the ball,
without cracking the glass; if the
glass be suspended by a thread, it will
make no difference, and the thread
will not even vibrate. In the Artie
regions, when the thermometer is
below zero, people can converse more
than ft mile distant. Dr Jamieson
asserts that he heard every word of a
sermon at the distance of two miles.
A mother has been distinctly heard
talking to her child, on a still day,
across a water a mile wile.
People’s Failings.— A painter was
once engaged upon a likeness of Alex
ander the Great. In one of his great
battles, Alexander had received an
ugly scar on the side of his face. The
artist was desirous of giving a correct
likeness of the monarch, and, at the
same time, desirous of hiding the
scar. It was a difficult task. At
length he hit upon a happy expedient.
He painted him in a reflective attitude,
Lis Land placed against his head, while
his finger covered the scar. The best
men are not without their failings—
their scars—but do not dwell upon
them. In speaking of them to others
adopt the painter’s expedient, and let
the finger of love be placed upon the
: car.
