The recent overflow m the Mississip pi, as a counter-blessing to the disaster attendant on it, has left a heavy de posit of silt mud that planters admit has imparted new and rich fertility to the land, and will fully compensate them foi their loss. In digging a sewer in Norfolk, Va , an old vault was unearthed, which con tained several coffins filled with bones and rubbish.

Cincinnati Commercial: “Mark Twain served three months in the Con federate army, under General Stirling Price. ” The Boston Post facetiously remarks that every farmer should be able to boasi of having a cold a spring on his farm this year. The Indiana Supreme Court has de ckled that the appropriation of $2,000,- 000 for the new Capitol is to be expended on the building alone. The English and French Governments disavow interference in Egyptian affairs. They only send their fleets to Egyptian waters to influence the Khedive to re store order. It will bo observed, Crridsui’ fh era has been a dearth of clanks with a mission from heaven to kill somebody. * The late J times Vick, Rochester seeds man, gave away SIO,OOO a year. After tbe grasshopper invasion in Kansas, ]^ e gave $25,000 worth of seeds to tho suffer ers of that State. * At the Delaware Greenback Labor State Convention there were but five del egates present, all from one county. The greenback cause is evidently lan guishing in the peach State. The State Street Cable Car Line in Chicago has mauaged to kill five persons and maim seven more during the last twelve months, and there is some talk of holding somebody responsible. The American people are looking for ward to June 30 with considerable in terest.

Two cases of arsenical poisoning by sleeping in a newly-papered room in Cam bridgeport, Mass., are said to have oc curred last week. The manufacturers of the paper warmly dispute the correct ness of the explanation of the illuess. The Texas Supreme Court has given a decision in' the long-pending suit of the Grigsby heirs, to recover about three thousand acres of land in and near Dal las. The decision is in favor of the heirs, and gives them property valued at nearly $2,000,000. Captain Eads is going to Europe. Meantime if the Government refuses to shell out some $50,000,000 for him to try liis baud constructing a ship railway, ho will bring some “bloated Englishmen” here to do it for us, and then we shall feel awful bad. A man at Rochester, N. Y., who went about the news stands tearing up tho flash newspapers offered for sale, has at lat got into jail from tearing down tho picture of a nude woman in an art gal lery. Some people are ashamed of tho works of Nature. A contemporary says Jennie Cramer should have minded her mother and she would not have met with a violent death. Yes, and the Malley’s should have been gentlemen instead of murderous pimps surrounded by riches aud the influence of good society. The list of wedding presents to the Duke of Albany and Lis bride fills two columns of the London Post. Strange that this wedding present business can not be adjusted so that they will go to the poor instead of to those who have no need of them. Kate Claxton, the actress, had a lady visitor at a Cleveland hotel, and the head waiter, mistaking her for a maid, placed her at a servant’s table. After an explanation had failed to rectify the error, the waiter was thrashed by Kate Claxton’s husband, who was fined $5 in a police court. A sad young man, after taking a meal at a New York coffee house, after much searching in his pockets, produced a $2 greenback from his watch fob, and with a sigh said: “Here she goes.” After his departure the noto was examined, aud on the back appeared, written in a fine hand: “Save your salary; don’t gamble; never play at a faro-bank. The last of a fortune of slo,ooo.’' The poet Longfellow once wrote to a youthful poet as follows: “No man, I think, should devote himself to poetry as a means ofj-makiug a living. True poetry is the offspring of our best hours. If you make a trade of it you may be sure that it will degenerate into mere verse making. Therefore, follow some calling or profession for a liveli hood, and keep the gift of song sacred and for itself alone.” Rev. Robert Collier spoke in New York Sunday night upon “Emerson.” When he rose to begin his lecture he said : “I see P. T. Baruum sitting in a back row of this church, and 1 invite him to come forward aud take a seat in ay family pew. Mr. Barnum always gives me a good seat in his circus aud I want to give him a good one in my church.” Mr. Barnum took the seat amid the smiles of the congregation. Mr. Colly r then began bis lecture. Sensational stories are cheap o- 1 ' The information has j', ie^ a P ie ‘ over to ,r - LLle that upon i m reiurn of Governor Critteuden to Missouri from New York he will con clude negotiations for the surrender of Frank James, and possibly otjfcr Bern-' bers of the James gang, andjjfKs put an end to the organization of brigands in Missouri. Frank James is now said to be in Jackson County, and instead of meditating more mischief, is represented as being anxious to make tho best terms possible for himself. 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 still within the private grounds, the bridegroom’s three brothers and Prin cess Louise and Princess Beatrice ran across a part of the lawn inclosed within a bend of the drive each armed with a number of old shoes, ■with which they pelted the “happy pair.” The Duke of Albany returned tho fire from the car riage with the ammunition supplied him by ins friendly assailants, causing tho heartiest laughter by a well-directed shot at the Duke of Edinburgh. James Gorden Bennett through whose Arctic Expedition project DeLong and companions met their death —in reply to articles in the New York Tribune and Sun on the subject of caring for the widows aud orphans of the victims of the fated Jeannette, says editorially in the Herald: 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, bnt r.f every widow and every orphan of the alien who sailed with the Jeannette and have per ished. Wc request the Sun and Tribune to 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' day, in Plymouth Church, said : “I have never asked a collection here, ox when it has beon ordered by the Oflicial 80. But to-day I want you to give a collection me ; not for my personal use, but for my sa When I was about twenty-throe years of agew yes, my wife says so (looking down at Mr? Beecher, who nodded her head in her pew),"l Miowing little of life, and having much to* i arn, 1 went forth as a preacher. I went across 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, ana I bought the lamps and fillod, trimmed and Jit them, there that little church has stood till now, and now they hope to build a larger C4i<j. I want you to help me to help them. The collection will now bo taken to rebuild the Presbyterian Church in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, 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 posse of their snbord' , ->“*-‘- summoned the errb'-~ -“oiai before them, aud not . intent with administering the question, ordinary and extraordinary, ordered him to come up for sentence at the London office of the Board of Works. But be fore being again racked, he is under stood to have gone down on his knees to John Brown to induce him to “repre sent the thing properly. ” Soho got off with a tremendous wigging. 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: House of Romanoff, Ivan 111 1740 male line: Elizabeth 1741 Michael 1313 House of Komanoff- Alexei 1645 Holstein: Feodor 1676 Peter 111 1763 Ivan and Peter 1. ..16.12 Catharine II 1762 Peter 1 1689; Paul 1792 Catharine 1 1721 Alexander 1 1801 Peter II 1727 Nichols* 1825 I'Ymalo line. Alexander II 1855 Anne 1730 1 Alexander 111 1831 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. greir, Plug* bft, v ° 'Aw/.*?, made o* . t . feet iu a/J bags and- of>[ / hole; also, ’ into the c-nd filled with beans are cause tent by the hot v compactly filled molten lead. Boiler owners shou ers under the cqre of c and should not grudge the t.** m < for frequent and thorough ci Q J Boilers should not be blown emptied w hile steam pressure is in and the surrounding brickwork l This is commonly done, but is an in jurious practice, and the cause of much of the hard scale in. boilers. If they they were allowed to stand till quite cold, much of tho deposit could be washed out, but when the boiler is emp tied while all is still hot, the mud be comes baked into a hard crust not easily removed. 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 port the whole of thfga „[ Joly, 1865, "" wl to so that from Russia.
