FHOM the frequency of royal marriages in Europe of lato it would appear that representatives of monarchy are forming1 a crown trust.

AN unusual wedding ceremony curred not long a'jfo in Dublin, where a well known artist was married t.o his

second wife by a clergyman who was his son by his first wife.

THERE has been a marked decadence !n the use or' the French language al Montreal during tho last ten years. Formerly it was the prevalent tongue, but now the English predominates.

FONACO, to which only consuls arcaccredited, has a big diplomatic corps in the rest of Europe, and its diplomats display a profusion of gold lace and titles purely for the honor of serving the principality gratis.

THE Indianapolis Journal says that "the American sovereign votes as he thinks and thinks as he pleases." Granted. But he most always pleases to think what his father pleased to think before him.

SIR FRANCIS DE WINTON says that, in spite of the scores of explorers who have been traversing in Africa in all directions since Livingston began his travels, the larger part of the many millions of natives have never yet seen a white man.

PRETENDED rivals of Boston in refinement and culture have often appeared, but they have never made good their claims. The Hub still holds its own as a literary centre, and it is still the home of some of our most eminent literary men.

THEY are telling of a Maine man who asked two boys to carry half a cord of wood from the sidewalk up a flight of stairs to his oSice, and when they had finished the task handed one of the lads a cent, with instructions to "divide it" between them.

A SENSIBLE suggestion is made that ihe movemant to restore the monument to the memory of Mary Washington, the mother of the first president, shall include the purchase of the old house in which she lived and died. It is a small house at Fredericksburg.

AN American orator, at a dinner at the Grand Hotel in London, recently made use of the following metaphor in his speech: "Let the Russian bear put his paw upon the fair land of Australia and the British lion, the American eagle and the Australian kangaroo will rise up as one man and drive him iguominiously to his lair."

ACCORDING to the New York Tribune the paupers of the Rockloy Almshouse, Philadelphia, can't complain that their lives are monotonous. While they aro sleeping the sleep of the pauper, large and hungry rats nibble their toes, and while they are partaking of their dinners, the resident physician and officials engage in ratshooting contests.

"LOOKING BACKWARD" has sold to the extent of 175,000 copies. This is immense when it is considered that the ordinary novelist thinks success has been attained when his production has reached a sale of 5,000 copies. Belamy's book is still selling at the rate of 1,000 a week. It has passed by "Ben Hur" and promises to overtake "Uncle Tom's Cabin."

THERE is a plant in New Grenada known as the "ink plant," the juice o) which serves without the least prepaaration, as ink. The writing at first appears red, but in a few hours assumes a deep black hue. Several sheets of manuscript, written with this natural ink, became so iked with sea water on their journey to Europe, but when dried the writing was found to be still perfectly clear. __

MORE remnants of the famous old bridge of the Romans at Mayence have been discovered recently. In digging for the foundation of a factory laborers found a massive pillar of square cut stones, which 1,900 years ago helped to support the bridge. The pillar was without seam or crack. After digging down sixteen feet tho workingmen gave up trying to find the pillar's base.

As A rule, there is very little in the average marriage that involves the sacredness of a sacrament. Men and women drift together, are interested, and they marry with as small regard for its real importance as if it were an evening call. Society is largely frivolous, shallow, unthinking. These superficial people marry on sight none of the deeper and more serious feelings are involved in the union.

FE THE great Bear river canal in Utah, for the construction of which $2,000,' 000 has been provided, is expected tc toe one of tho most evtensive irrigation works in America. To get the river along the side hill aloug Bjar river canyon and out onto the plain near

Plymouth will necessitate moving 222.000 cubit yards of solid rock, 1!),00G cubit yards of loose rock, 1,528,080 cubit yards of earth, aod durging 1,20V leet of tunnel.

'JOPPA,

The Eminent Brooklyn Preaclier Talks on tho Charities of the Needle.

He Arrives at tlie Birtliplaco e? Sewing Societies, in the Course of His Pilgrimage and Entertains a Company of Christian

People. Rev. T. Do WittTalmage reached ancient Joppa in time to preach to an appreciative comniiny of Christians last Sunday. Iiis subject was: "The Birthplace of Sewing

Soi.-ict:es." lie took for his text Acts ix, 3D: "And ail the widows stood by him weeping, and showing tho coats and parmeats which Dorcas made while she was with them." The preacher said:

Christians ot Joppa! Impressed as I am with your mosque, the first I ever saw, and stirred as 1 am with the fact that your harbor once floated the great raits of Lebanon cedar from which the temples at Jerusalem were builded, Solomon's oxen drawing the logs through this very town on the way to Jerusalem, nothing can make me lorget that this Joppa was the birthplace of the sewing society that has hlcfscd the poor of all succeeding ages in all lands. The disasters to your town when Judas Maccabtcus set it on fire, and Napoleon had five hundred prisoners massa .-red in your neighborhood, cannot make me forget that one of the most magnificent charities of the centuries was started in this seaport by Dorcas, a woman with her needle embroidering her name ineffaceably into the beneficence of the world. I see her sitting in yonder homo In the doorway, and around about the building, and in the room where she sits, are the pale faces of the poor. She listens to their plaint, she pities their woe, she makes garments for them, she adjusts the manufactured articles to suit the bent form of this invalid woman, and to the cripple that comes crawling on his hands and knees. She gives a coat to this one, she gives sandals to that one. With the gifts she mingles prayers and tears and Christian encouragement. Then she goes out to be greeted on the street corners by those whom she has blessed, and all through the street the cry is heard: "Dorcas is coming!" The sick look up gratefully in her face as she puts her hand on the burning brow, and the lost and the abandoned start up with hope as they hear her gentle voice, as though an angel had addressed them and as she goes out the lane, eyes haif put out with sin think they see a halo of light about her brow, and a trail of glory in her ithway. That night a half paid shipwright climbs the hill and reaches home, and sees his little boy well clad, and says: "Where did these clothes come from J" And they teil him, "Dorcas has been here." In another place a woman is trimming a lamp Dorcas bought the oil. In another place, a family that had not been at table for many a week are gathered now, for Dorcas has brought bread.

HEATn Axn KESriUiECTION* OF DORCAS.

But there is a sudden pause in that woman's ministry. They say: "Where is Dorcas? Why, we haven't seen her for many a day. Where is Dorcas!" And one of these poor people goes up and knocks at tho door and finds the mystery solved. All through the haunts of wretchedness, the news comes, "Dorcas is sick!" No bulletin flashing from the palace gate telling the stages of a king's disease, is more anxiously awaited for than the news from this sick benefactress. ALas! for Joppa! there is wailing, wailiug. That voice which uttered so many cheerful words is hushed that hand which had so many garments for the poor in cold and still the star which had poured light into the midnight of wretchedness is dimmed by tne blinding mists that go up from the river of death. In every Gcd forsaken place in this town wherever there is a sick child and no balm wherever there is hunger and no bread wherever there is guilt and no commiseration wherever there is a broken heart and no comfort, there are despairing looks streaming eyes, and frantic gesticulations as they cry: "Dorcas is dead They send ior the apostle Peter, who happens to be in the suburbs of this place, stopping with a tanner by the name of Simon. Peter urges his way through the crowd around the door, and stands in the presence of the dead. What expostulation and grief all about him! Here stand some of the poor people, who show the garments which this poor woman had made for them. Their grief cannot be appeased. The apostle Peter wants to perioral a miracle. He will not do it amidst the excited crowd, and he kindly orders that the whole room be cleared. The door is shut against the populace. The apostle stands now with the dead. Oh, it is a serious moment, you know, when you are alone with a lifeless body! The apostle gets down on his knees and prays, and then he comes to the lifeless form of this one all ready for the sepulchcr, and in the strength of him who is the resurrection he exclaims: "Tabitha, arise!" There is a stir in the fountains of life the heart flutters the nerves thrill the cheek llushes the eye opens she sits up!

We see in this subject Dorcas the disciple Dorcas the benefactress Dorcas the lamented Dorcas the resurrected.

It I had not seen that word disciple in my text, I would have known this woman was a Christian. Such music as that never came from a heart which is not ohorded and strung by divine grace. Before I show you the needlework of this woman, I want to show you her regenerated heart, the source of a pure life and all Christian chiirities. I wish that ttie wives and mothers and daughters and sisters of all the earth would imitate Dorcas in her discipleship. Before you cross tho threshold of the hospital, before you enter upon the temptations and trials of to-morrow, I charge you, in tho name of God, and by the turmoil and tumult of the judgment day, oh women! that you attend to the first' last and greatest duty of your life— the seeking for God and being at peace with him. When the trumpet shall sound, there will be an uproar, and a wreck of mountain and continent, nnd no human arm can help you. Ainiast the rising of the dead, and amidst the boiling of yonder sea, and amidst the live, leaping thunders of the Hying heavens, calm and placid will be every woman's heart who hath put her trust in Christ calm notwithstanding all the tumult, as though the fire in the heavens were only the gildings of an autumnal sunset, as though the peal of the trumpet were only the harmonv of an orchestra, as the awful voices of the sky were but a group of friends bursting through a gateway at eventime with laughter, and shouting "Dorcas, tho disciple!"

Would God that every Alary and every Martha would this day sit down at the feet of Jesus!

Further, we see Dorcas the benefactress. T-Iislory has told the story of tho crown the epic poet has sung of the swor.l the pastoral poet, with his verses full of „tho redolence of clover tops, and a-rustlo with the silk of the corn, has sung the praises of tho plow. 1 tell you the praises of tho needle. From tho tig leaf robe prepared in the garden of Eden to tho last stitch ta'en on the garment for the poor, tho needle bas wrought wonders of kindness, irenerObity aad benefaction. It .. ladorned i-.,

M&kM

the girdle of the high priest it fashioned the curtains in the ancient tabernacle it cushioned the ch iriots of King Solomon: it provided the rooes of Queen Elizabeth and in hi Dlaces and in low places, by the fire of the pioneer's back log and under the flash of the chandelier, everywhere, it has clothed nakedness, preached the Gosp"1 it has overcome hosts of penury and want with the war cry of "Stitch, stitch stitch!" The operatives have found a livelihood by it, and through it tho mansions of the employer have been constructed. Amidst the greatest triumph in all ages and lands, I set down the conquests of the needle. I admit its crimes I admit its cruelties. It has had more martyrs than the lire it has punctured the eye it has pierced the side it has struck weakness into the lungs it has sent madness into the brain it has filled the potter's field it has pitched whole armies of the suffering into crime and wretchedness and woe. But now that I am talk.ng of Dorcas and her ministries to the poor, 1 shall speak only of the charities of the needle.

This woman was a representative of all those women who make garments for the destitute, who knit socks for the barefooted, who prepare bandages for tho lacerated, who fix up boxes of clothins for missionaries, who go into th** asylums of the suffering and "destitute bearing that Gospel which is sight for tho blind, and hearing for the deaf and which makes the same mam leap like a hart, and brings the dead to life, immortal health bounding in their pulses. What a contrast between the practical benevolence of this woman and a great deal of the charity of this day! This woman did not spend her time idly planning how the poor ot your city of Joppa were to bo relieved: she took her needle and relieved them. She was not like those persons who symyathise with imaginary sorrows, and go out in the street and laugh at the boy who has upset his basket of cold vituals, or like that charity which makes a rousiag speech on the benevolent platform, and goes out to kick the begger from the step, crying: "Hush your miserable howling!" The sufferers of the world want not so much theory as practice not so much tears as dollars not so much kind wishes as loaves of bread not so much smiles as shoes not so much "God bless yous!" as jackets and frocks. I, will put one earnest Christian man, hard working, against five thousand mere theorists on the subject of charity. There are a great many who have fine ideas about church architecture who never in their life helped to build a church. There are men who can give you the history of Buddism and Mohammedanism, who never sent a farthing for their evangelization. There are women who talk beautifully about the suffering of the world, who never had tho courage like Dorcas to take the needle and assault it.

I am glad that there is not a page of the world's history which is not a record of female benevolence. God says to all lands and people, Come now and hear the widow's mite rattle down into the poor box. The princess of Couti sold all her jewels that she might help the famine stricken. Queen Blanche, the wife of Louis VIII, of France, hearing that there were some persons unjustly incarcerated in the prisons, went out amidst the rabble and took a stick and struck the door as a signal that they might all strike it, and down went the prison door and out came the prisoners. Queen Maud, the wife of llenry f, went down amidst the poor and washed their sores and administered to them cordials. Mrs. Ret,son, at Matagorda, appeared on the battlefield while the missiles of death were flying around, and cared for the wounded. Is there a man or woman who has ever heard of the civil war in America who has not heard of the women of the Sanitary and Christian commissions, or the fact that, before the smoke had gone up from Gettysburg and South Mountain, tho women of the north met the women of the south on tho battlefield, forgetting all their animosities while they bound up the wounded, and closed tho eyes of the slaiui Dorca3 the benefactress.

I come now to speak of Dorcas the lamented. When death struck down that good woman, oh, how much sorrow there was in tnis town of Joppa! I suppose there were women here with larger fortunes women, peril ps, with handsomer faces but there was tio grief at their departure like this at the death of Dorcas. There was not more turmoil and upturning in the Mediterranean sea, dashing against the wharves of this seaport, than there were surgingsto and fro of grief because Dorcas was dead. There are a great many who go out ot life and are unmissed. There may be a very large funeral there may be a great many carriages and a plumed hearse there may bo high sounding eulogiums the bell may toll at the cemetery gate there may be a very fine marble shaft reared over the resting place but the whole thing may be a falsehood and a sham. The church of God has lost nothing, tho world has lost nothing. It is only a nuisance abated it is only a grumbler ceasing to find fault it is only an idler stopped yawning it is only a dissipaed lashionable parted from his wine cellar while, on tho other hand, no useful Christian leaves this world thout being missed. The church of God cries out like tho prophet: "Howl, fir tre.-, for the cedar has fallen." idowhood comes and shows the garments which the departed hid made. Orphans are lilted up to look into the calm face of the sleeping benefactress. Ue laimed vagrancy comes and kis es the cold brow of her who charmed it away from sin, and all through the streets of Joppa there is mourning—mourning because Dorcas is dead. hen .Josephine of France was carried out to her grave, there were a great many men and women of nomp and pride and position that went out after her but. I ain most affected by the story of history that on that day there ro ten thousand of tho poor of France who followed her coffin, weeping and wailing until the air rang again, because, when they lost Josephine, they lost their last earthly Iriend. Oh, who would not rather have surh obsequies than all the tears that wors ever poured in the lachrymals that have been exhumed from ancient cities. There may be no mass for the dead there may bo no costly sarcophagus there mav be no elaborate mausoleum but in the damp cellars of tho city, ind through tho lonely huts of the mountain glen, there wi.l be mourning, mourning,mournin ,', because Dorcas is dead. "Blessed are the deal who die in the Lord they rest from their labors, and their works do fol.ow them."

I speaic to you of Dorcas the resurrected. The apostle came to where she was iud said: "Arise and she sat up!" In what a short compass the great writer put that— "She sat up I" Oh, what a time there mast have been around this town, when iho apostle brought her among her old friends! How the tears of joy mast Imve started I What clapping of hands there must have be^n! What singing! Wn.it laughter! Sound it all through Wat Line! Shout it down that dark alloy! Let all Joppa hear it 1 Dorcas in resurrected!

You and have seen the same thing many a time: not a dead body resuscitated, but tho deceased coining up again after death in the good accomplished. It'a man labors up to fifty years of age, serving God. and then dies, we are apt to think that h"s earthly work is done. No. His inllueni-e on earth will continue till tho world co nes. Services rendered for Christ never aiop.

A Christian woman'tofts for the ttphu!lrttag of a church through many anxieties, through many self denials, with prayers and tears, and then she dies. It is fifteen years since she went away. Now the sp rit of God descends upon that church hundreds of souls stand up and confess the faith of Christ. Has that christian woman, who went away fifteen yeare n^o, noth ng to do with these things' 1 sts the flowering out of her noble heart. I hear the echo of her footsteps in all the songs over sins forgiven, in all the prosperity of the church. Tho good that seemed to be buried has come up again. Dorcas is resurrected-

Alter awhile all these womanly friends of Christ will put down their needle forever. After malting garments for others, some one will inaive a garment for them the last robe we ever wear—the robe for the grave. You will have heard the last cry of pain. You Will have Witnessed the lust orphanage. You will have come in worn out from your last round of mei/cy. I do not know where you Will s.eep, nor what your epitaph will be but there will be a lamp burning at the tomb and an an^el of God guarding it, and through all the long night no rude foot will d.slurb the dust. Sleep on, sleep on! Soft bed, pleasant shadows, undisturbed repose! Sleep on!

Asleep in Jesus! Blessed sleep! From which none ever wake to weep. Then one day there will be a sky rending, and a whir] of wheels, and the Hash of a pageant armies marcmng, chains clanking, banners waving, thunders booming, and that Christian woman wili arise lrom the dust, and she will be suddenly surrounded —surrounded by the wanderers of the street whom she reclaimed, surrounded by tha wounded souls to whom she had administered 1 Daughter of God, so strangely surrounded. what means this? it means that reward has come, that the victory is won, that the crown is ready, that the banquet is spread. Shout it through all the crumb, ling earth. Sing it through all the flying heavens. Dorcas is resurrected!

In 1855, when some of the soldiers came back from the Crimean war to London, the Queen of England distributed among them beautiful medals, called Crimean medals. Galleries were erected for the two houses of paraliament and the royal family to sit in. There was a great audience to witness the distribution of the medals. A colonel who had lost both feet in the battle of Inkerman was palled in on a wheel chair others came in limping on their crutches. Then tho queen of England arose before thern in the name of her government, and uttered words of commendation to the officers and men, and distributed these medais, inscribed with tiio four great battlefields, Alina, Balakiava, Inkerman and Sebastopol. As the que gave these to the wounded men and the wounded officers, tho bands of music struck up the national air, and the people with streaming eyes joined in the song:

God save our gracious gueen! Long hve our noble queen! God save the queen! And thjn they shouted "Huzza! huzza!" Oh, it was a proud day for those returned warriors! But a brighter, better and gladder day will come when Christ shall gather those who have toiled in his service, good soldiers of Jesus Christ. He shall rise before them, and in the presence of all the glorified of heaven he will say: "Well done, good and faithful servant!" and then ho will distribute the medals of eternal victory, not inscribed with works of righteousness which we hive done, but with those four great battlefields, dear to earth and dear to heaven, Bethlehem 1 N azereth! Getbsemane! Calvary!

Musical Lizards.

As is well known, lizards of all colors and sizes abound in Italy. They lie basking on all the stones, they run along all the walls, they peep out of every chink and crevice but as soon sis they hear the faintest noise they disappear with lightning speed, and it is hard to see them near and to observe them closely. Walking carelessly, and noticing the dear little animals darting now here, now there, I remembered the Greek statue of Apollo Sauroktonos, who is always represented as busied with a lizard Apollo, god of the sun and of music. "Suppose I try," I thought, and softly, quite softly, began to whistle a dreamy old German air, and behold! a lizard lies still, as though rooted to the spot, raising his little head in a listening attitude, and looking at me with his sharp little eyes. Without stirring I continued my melody. The lizard came nearer and nearer, and approached quite close, always listening and forgetting all its lears. As soon, howe^r, as the whistler made the smallest movement it vanished into some crevice, but to peep forth again a moment after and to listen once more* as though entirely entranced. A delightful discovery, truly, and one of which I extended the field of observation daily. At least as many as eight or nine of these little music lovers would sit around me in the most comic attitudes, IN ay, two of them, a mother and its young one, would sit awaiting me as I arrived whistling at the same hour of day, sitting on a large stone, under which was probably their home. With these, too, I made some further experiments. After having made music to them a while I cautiously went a few steps further, whistling on in soft, drawling tone, such as 1 had found they best loved to hear, and see, verily, they followed mo! Watching them with interest, I continued to whistle as I walked on slowly, halting every few paces and beiny silent when I halted, and truly the little creatures followed, slowly it is true, but in a straight line, at a distance of about fiileen steps, until at last, unhappily, the heavy tread of a peasant put them to (light. But my experiment had lasted long enough to malce me understand the Apollo Sauroktonos, and I once more reverenced the keen native observation of those old Hellenes. -sides this the legend of the "Rat Catcher of Hanielin" suddenly became much more credible.—Leisure Hour.

Mus'irals.

Two Hallowell (Me.) sportsmen saw an interesting1 family in a M.iine at,ream. They suddenly found their boat hiirrounded by youn ,' musk rats, which were sis plavful as kittens, diving and coinin to the .surface again, Hwimminy around tlie boat and looking up to it with eyes that did not oetray the least suspicion of danger. For some nnnui.es tho two men watched the maiueuverei, until the two old muakrats mti.de l-heii appearance. The la'tor came out ft\jin the shoi'e and dove with a splash that seemed to lie tho signal for the younger ones to follow. which they quickly did.

APPENDIXES

C. W. Krail Ice, Supervisor of Schools, Augusta, Me.

The work is a library in itself, and will supply the place and save llu? cost of a hundred more or less costly books. It is emphatically The Cyclopedia lor the present age. It is brought down to date, and the discoveries, the events, and the achievements o( yesterday, so to speak, are embalmed and chronicled in its pages.

To parents, whether in the solitary farm-house,. the crowded city, or the village home, wherever the pattering feet, of children echo and reecho, the transcendent merits of the New People's Cyclopedia as an aid to education should, be presented. The result cannot be doubted.

More general in its usefulness than either the Encyclopedia Britannica or Appletoivs Encyclopedia, and more concise and cheaper than Johnson's or Zcll's. "The .People's Cyclopedia" has taken a strong hold upon the good opinion of all who have examined it.—Boston Globe.

(ieo. W. Nye, Principal Twenty.second D'striet School, Cincinnati, Ohio.

I have purchased "ThePeople's Cyclopedia"' after a careful examination. For a quick, convenient, and modern reference work, it meets my wants better tllan any other work of its kind with which I am familiar. I have used Chambers' Cyclopedia for some years, but consider "The People's" in many respects far superior to it.

Henry 1'. Harrington, Superintendent Public Schools, New Hedf.ml, Mas.*.

Our school committee, as well as myself, belive it to be incomparably the best work of the kind which can be furnished the schools in general (and they have placed a large number of copies in our schools'). Comprehensive, accurate, and written in a clear, intelligent style, it gives to both teachers and pupils the highest satisfaction. Not only do 1 indorse it as an admirable reference book for school s, but I hold it to be a very superior work for private and family use.

John 13. l'easloc, lato Superintendent of Schools, Cinctnn.v.i, Ohio.

Every intelligent firnily and every school should bo supplied with a Cyclopedia. "The People's Cyclopedia" possesses many important points of superiority over all others, and is the best work for general use at home and in school with which I am familiar.

"The People's Cyclopedia" is worthy a place in any library and of special value to those who appreciate that which is a saving of time. Most of the larger works compel one to search for what he wants, but in these three admirable volumes, prepared with such care by Dr. I.)ePuy, we have all the information sought for in a cyclopedia, right at hand. Ii is just the thing for the bussiness ofiiee and the home. It must prove of great assistance to the young people while pursuing their studies at school. N.

A. Luce, Superintendent of Schools. Augusta,

ME.

I am especially pleased with its freshness and accuracy, its brevytr. and clearness of statement, and at the same time its fullness and completeness, making it, in my opinion, the most complete and usable of all cyclopedias before the public. I deem it an especially valuable work for teachers and for school libraries, and heartily recommend its purchase.

W. H. Scolt, L. I,. D., President Ohio 1'niversity, Columbus, Oluo.

I have purchased the "People's Cyclopedia" after a careful examination. and find it the latest, the most complete, and the most satisfactory.-: reference bcok that has been brought to my attention.

I have devoted considerable time to a careful examination of "'The-. People's Cyclopedia," comparing it article by article, with other cyclopedias now in use, for the special purpose of satisfying myself how far ite mbodies those things which the general public will be likely to look for and how far it rejects everything which they will not want. The examination has satisfied me that it combines in a higher degree the elements required in a popular cyclopedia than any other work that has yet appeared.
