A circus is a decideJly important in
stitution—to take money out of a com
munity. Save the Newark (N. J.) Call:
“ ffhe visit of a circus to a manufactur
ing city like Nm%rk is both costly aud
demoralizing. The actual money loss to
tho community by the visit of Barnum’s
show, last week, approximates $50,009.”
That amount of money devoted to some
needed local public institution would be
a listing benefit, but given uji to a circus,
it goes as a “fleeting* show.” Circuses
are decidedly expensive American insti
tutions.
When the Duko and Duchess ol
Albany left Windsor, while they were

number of old shoes, ■with which they
pelted the “happy pair.” The Duke of

shot at the Duke of Edinburgh.
James Gorden Bennett through

Tbe Sun and Tribune may rest satisfied that,
wiih or without fhejictiou of Congress or of
the public, care wiil be taken of tbe widow and
orphans of DeLong, and not of them alone,

alien who sailed with the Jeannette and have per

accept our acknowledgement of their kindness
in affording a suitable opportunity to make this
statement without being liable to the reproach
of intruding it.
The New York Herald says editorially
of that which has been proven in the
Cramer case:
Jennio Cramer, after a night’s carousal in
the Mallev house, on her return home, was
xirtnally thrust out by her mother; second,
that she passed the evening of Friday, two days
after her experience of Mallev hospitality, at
Savin Bock, riding a “flying-horse,” and be
having, with her party, so boisterously as to
attract general attention, and so annoy one
particular Hartford matron that she requested
her husband to take her home; third, that Jen
nie Cramer was fouud in the shallow water,
dead, at an early hour, on Saturday morning;
and, fourth, that she died of the effects of
arsenic in solution.
The theory of the defense is that Jen
nie Cramer killed herself on account of
the treatment she received from her
mother.
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher the'

Miowing little of life, and having much to*

iho Onio to Covington, to a little Presbyterian
Church, for I was a Presbyterian then and am
still, all hut their confession of faith. Then
Martha Sawyer—that isn’t her name now, so
no one will know—came for mo to go to Law
reuceburg, Indiana, about twenty miles from
Cincinnati, a town which has sent out more
whisky than any other in the United States.
There Miss Sawyer was tho trustee, deacon and
treasurer of the little church, with twenty mem
bers and one man among them. They raised
$l5O the first year, and with the aid of the
American Home Missionary Society, God bless
it forever, I had f4OO salary. There I began to
learn to boa preacher and learned for two years,
and then went to Indianapolis for eight years
before I came here. There, in that little church,
which would seat one hundred persons, and
where, if I wanted to hold a communion, 1 had
to send to the next town aud borrow a deacon,
I was sexton as well as pastor. I used to sweep,

where 1 began my ministry.”
During the marriage ceremony (that
of the Duke of Albany) says the London
Truth, the Queen happened to look up
at the knight’s banners, and, to her
amazement and indignation, she discov
ered half a dozen opera glasses peering
from behind them, all pointed straight at
her own face. An inquiry was speedily
made, when it turned out that a promi
nent official at Windsor, at the last mo
ment, had secretly constructed a small
private gallery up behind the carving at
the top of the kuight’s stalls, from
which, after reaching it by # tlie aid of a
perpendicular ladder, his friends had an
excellent view, perched like owls in
an ivy bush. Tho Lord Chamberlain
and the Lord Steward, supported bv

to come up for sentence at the London
office of the Board of Works. But be

John Brown to induce him to “repre

The Bouse of Romano?.
The Romanoffs rather pride themselves
on the antiquity of their family-tree,
claiming that it is known to have been
planted by a Lithuanian prince in tho
fourth century. It is certain, however,
that tho family did not make their ap
pearance in Russia until tho fourteenth
century. In the year 1341, Andrew
Kobyla emigrated from Prussia to Mos
cow, and entered the service of the
Grand Duke Simeon the Fierce. The
descendants of Kobyla held high posi
tions, and the fifth in direct descent
from him was Roman Jurievitch, who
died in 1543, leaving a son, Nikita
Romanoviteh Jurief, who by liis mar
riage with the Princess of Susdal (a
direct descendant from a brother of St.
Alexander Nevskoi), who was allied to
tho royal race of Rurik; aud a daughter
who became Czarina by her marriage
with Ivan the Terrible. Nikita was one
of the regency during the minority of
Feodor I.; and his eldest son, Feodor,
under the name of PJrilarete, was
elevated to the rank of Archimandrite
and Metropolitan during the reign of
the false Dimitri. The Romanoffs sup
ported the party that tendered the Rus
sian orown to tho Polish priyse, and
Phi I are to had gene with that view to
Poland, when the opposition became so
violent as to change entirely the state of
affairs, and the Poles imprisoned
Philarsta. The national party then pro
ceeded to the election of a ntitive sover
eign, who Bhould be as closely allied as
possible by blood to the race of Rurik,
and after much hesitation and mauy re
jections, they selected Michael Feodoro
vitek Romanoff, the son of Philarete,
aud the representative, through liis
grandmother, of the royal house of
Rurik. The following is a list of the
Czars and Emperors of Russia from that
time to the present. Czar Peter I. was
the first ruler who adopted, in the year
1721, the title of Emperor:

What He Hied of.
An old lady from this city who was
visiting in Boston heard a doctor giving
description of a late patient’s illness
and she asked what disedsa he had died
of.
“Euthanasia,” answered the Boston
doctor, with professional accuracy.
“ retoried the old lady,
“never heard ten of it before! thero ain’t
no sich name in my joggraphy!”
“Oh!” said the doctor, politely, “it
means that tbe mental and physical
forces have succumbed to the invasion
of years and the vital fires burned out
from lack of fuel—exhausted themselves,
as it were.”
“ Humph,” said the mystified visitor
shortly, “ we should call it * Old Age ’ in
Detroit.” —Detroit Post and Tribune.

Few’ realize what an enormous amount
of power is stored up iu coal, and how
little we really utilize it. Prof. Rogers
has put it neatly thus: The dynamic
value of one pound of good seam coal
is equivalent to the work of a man a day,
and three tons are equivalent to twenty
years’ hard work of 300 days 'to the
year. The usual estimate of a four-foot
scam is that it will yield one ton of good
aocl for every square yard, or about
5,000 tons for each square* acre. Each
square mile will then contain 3,200,000
tons, which, in their total capacity for
the production of power, are equal to
tho labor of over 1,000,000 able-bodied
men for twenty years.
If belts are allowed to beoome cov
ered with grease, dirt, and resin, or to
grow dry and hard, they can not work
air-tight on the pulleys. Very often no
more than twenty-five per cent, of tho
available power is obtained because of
these neglects. Many persons think
they obtain moredriviug power by plac
ing a tightener against the belt; but this
gain is only the equivalent of the extra
surface with which the belt is brought in
contact by the tightener, and in the case
of a horizontal belt this will be nearly
lost by friction, though on an upright
belt the tigntener may be useful. There
is economy in working with slack belts,
keeping them clean and flexible. Hard
ened belts are best softened by a wash o
lukewarm soda water and a thorough
scraping and oiling.
A Teratologieal Unrioslfy.
According to the Presse Medicate
Beige, two united children have been
recently exhibited in Vienna which sur
pass iu interest the celebrated Siamese
twins. They were born iu 1877 at La
cona, in the province of Turin. They
have each a well-formed head, and per
fect arms, and a separate thorax with
perfect internal viscera. At the sixth
rib, however, they unite, and there is
but one abdomen. From behind, two
vertibral columns are seen, two a
-cruniß, and three buttocks, the central
one evidently being due to the fusion
of two, and in it is a rudimentary
anus. Each individual has power over
the corresponding leg and not over
the other; thus the right leg obeys
the will of the right twin named
Baptiste, the left that of the other twin
named Jacob. Walking is therefore im
possible, although the legs are strong.
Each child is said to possess a distinct
moral personality. Sometimes one is
laughing when the other is crying; one
may sleep while the other is awake.
Usually the head and face of each is in
clined laterally, but if one is held per
pendicularly the other becomes almost
norizontal. The condition of sensatii n
in the legs is not stated in the account.
It is only forty-four years since tho
first message was sent over the telegraph
wires, to the unbounded astonishment
of men who supposed tho world had
ceased revolving and that nothing new
could be brought out by man.
ADOLITION OF JCUiSIAN SERFDOM.
The late Czar, Alexander 11., decreed
the emancipation of the serfs March 3,
1861, Coming into final execution on
March 3, 1863. The owners of the serfs
were compensated for their land on a
scale of payment by wliioh the previous
labor of the serf was estimated at a year
ly rental of 6 per cent., so that for every
6 rubles which the labor earned annually
ho had to pay 100 rubles to his master
as his capital value to become a free
holder. Of this sum the serfs had to
give immediately 20 per cent., while the
remaining 80 per cent, was disbursed as
an advance by the Government to the
owners, to be repaid at intervals extend
ing over forty nine years, by the freed
peasants. According to an o^ meu(B
