A out 860,000 worth of cotton twine is used yearly in the Menhaden fishery of Maine for the manufacture and repair of seines. During the last decade 8106,000,- 000 derived from confiscated church property, sold at auction, has been paid into the treasury of Italy. Last year’s cranberry crop was unprecedentedly large. The gross yield is estimated at 400,000 bushels an increase of 202,000 bushels over 1770. The world can maintain sixty thousand millions of people. It has never had more than two per cent, of that number living at any one time on its surface. There are about one million opera tors engaged in the iron industries of the United States. The entire value of manufactured iron for one year is *900,000,000. The consumption of tea in the United States last year amounted to 53,111.588 pounds, and there was a slock in first hands, on January 1, of 13,461,815 pounds The value of fruit crops in the United States is estimated by the* Government statisticians at 140,000,- 000 annually, or about half the value ot the wheat crop. The standard and broad gauge railroads of the United States have cost an average in cash of 847,000 a mile. The average cost of the nar row gauge railways has not exceeded 816,000 a mile. Nearly all our native rice comes from South Carolina, Georgia and Louisiana—the former Slate •supply ing one-half the entire product of the country, and Georgia going seven million pounds ahead of Louisiana. What is said to be the largest plow ever manufactured has jiist been turned out at a factory at Stockton, Cal. The mold-board is eight feet long, and the furrow which is cut is thirty-five inches w ide. It is designed for work upon the tide lands, and re quires twelve stout oxen to pull it. During the past year the experi mental Department of Agriculture at Washington distributed over 20,- 000 tea-plants grown in the green houses of the Department; and 300 pounds of the seed of this plant have been lately sown with a view of ex tensive cultivation in the Southern Stati-s. As the result of the Turkish war a business has opened in human jaws, wTncIi are colle ted in Bulgaria and consigned in large quantities to Paris.

If it should pass the Senate with this excess main tained it is understood as very likeiv that President Iiav< will toliow the example set l»y Gem-ra] Grant and refuse to make the espeuditu-cs. The income tax, aptly says the Washington Pont, is said to lie in quisitorial in its nature. When the assessor comes around to fix the value of your piano, furniture, jewels, notes and investments in stocks and bonds, the performance does notjpartake of the nature of an inquisition. Tbo incentive for men to commit perjury, however, is as about as great as in tne case of an income. A Child Queen. 1 am sure you will like the story I am about to tell you, of a little French Princess who was married and crown ed Queen of England when only eight years old and who become a widow at twelve. This child sovereign was born many hundred years ago—in 1387 - at the Palace of the Louver, in Paris, of whose noble picture gallery I am sure you all have beard. She wa- the daughter of poor King Charles VI., whose misfortunes made him insane, and tor whose amusement playing cards were invented, and df his Queen, Isabeau of Bavaria, a beautiful but very wicked woman. Little Princess Isabella was the eldest of twelve children. She inherited her mother’s beauty and was pelted l»y her pare ,ts and the entire c urt of F ranee. King Richard II., of England, who was a widower about thirty years old, was urged to marry again ; and, instead of selecting a wife near his own age, his ehoiee fell upon little Princess Isabella. “ She is much too young,” iie was told—“ Even in five or six years she will not be old enough to be married.” The King, however, thought this objection too t rifting to stand in the way of marriage, and saying, “ The lady’s age is a fault that every day will remedy,” he sent a magnificent Embassy to the Court of France, headed by the Archbishop of Dublin, and consisting of earls, marshals, knights and squires of honor uncoun ted, with attendants to tho number of five hundred. *■*■*» When the embassy reached Payis, and the otter of mar iage had been formally accept e.l, tip* avclibi>h>>p and the earls asked to see the little Princess who was soon to become their Queen. At first tiie French Council rclu-ed, sayi' g so young a child was not, pro pared to anpear on public occasion?, I and they could not tel! bow she might behave. The English noblemen were so sol citrons, however, th'ftt' iJt Iasi she was brought before them! The ear! marshal immediately knelt before her, and sai 1 in old ' fashion lan guage of tlie lime: “ Madam, if it phase God, yon shall be our lady and Queen.’’ • * Queen Isabella, stood, a lit lb-' dis tance, curious and anxious no doubt > to know how her |ijilo dapghtei would aiisw.crthis formal address. To her great pleasure, and the^groai . * . . Jinir surprise of all pre.^ ni, Princes i-V: bdla replied : “ Sir, if it please (4ml aim my farther that I lie Queen of England, I shall be well plea-ed, for I am told I shall then be a great lady.” Then, ir'ving the marshal her tiny hand to kiss, she hade him rise from uis knees, and leading him to her mother, she presented him to her with the ease and grace of a mature ivoman. According to the fashion of the time, Princess I-abclla was immedi ately married hv proxy, and received the title of Queen of England. Froissart, a celebrated historian living at that epoch, says; “It was very pretty to see her, young as she \vas. practicing how to act the Queen.” In a few days King Richard arrived from England with a gay anti nu merous retinue of titled ladies to attend his little bride. After many grand festivities they were married and were taken in state to England, where the Baby Queen was crowned iu the fan.ous Westminster Abbey. till BU(Hi i r*>- •i I t.filKiS nrwi 1l i Ws Rt BEAVERS,!
