D. E. WILLIAMSON, GRKENCASTLfi, 1 X D. Business In all courts attended to promptly

Now that Queen Victoria has at length permitted the installation of the telephone at Windsor castle, Osborne bouse and Dalmoral and Buckingham palace, there is not a sovereign in Uurope who does not utili/.e this instrument for communicating royal and imperial wishes, as well as commands to subjects and officials. Even the pope, w ho has lately decided that, while a confession may be heard over the telephone, the priest cannot use the wire for the purpose of granting absolution, has had a receiver installed in his private ajmrtmeuts, by means of which he often com- . munieates with the Propaganda Fide, ' w hich is situated on the other side of the Tiber, and at a considerable distance from the Vatican. It is generally his valet, Cintru, who does the talking over the wire for him, but he occasionally speaks over it himself, and only the other day, when a Jesuit priest was taken suddenly ill during n private audience, the pope rushed to the little red-lined booth and personally called up the Jesuit college. King Leopold is enabled, by means of the telephone, to communicate with his ministers at Brussels, without leaving either Ins palace at Laken or his marine I residence at Ostcnd. When, a year ago, 1 the little king of Spain was prostrated j with the measles, and secluded at one ; end of the huge palace i.t Madrid, the queen regent was able to hold inter-i course with him, located in a distant wing of the editlee, not onlj - daily, but 1 almost hourly, over the wire. Queen Victoria, however, is so Ultra-' conservative that it is most difficult to ! get her consent to any modern innova- | tion, and it was only two years ago that' she permitted the installation of electric light in the state apartments of Windsor. Previously electricity, ns well as gas. had been uncompromisingly barred from her private apartments. Yet it is almost impossible to aggregate the importance of thus placing the various residences of the queen in telephonic communication with London, as far as transaction of official business is concerned. | Until now, whenever the queen was ; desirous of consulting one of her con- ; stitutional advisers upon any point, or ! when any cabinet minister had some matter of urgency to impart to her majesty, the unfortunate dignitary had to travel all the way from Windsor to Balmoral—n 124 hours' journey—or to Osborne, w hich entailed a sea trip across the stormy Solent, very often for the sake of only ten minutes' talk with the sovereign. Then, too, Lord Salisbury and even Mr. Chamberlain, both of them busy men, have had to spend a good deal of their time explaining matters to the queen in writing, the librarj - at Buckingham palace containing many volumes of letters such as these written to the queen by her various ministers through her long reign of well-nigh 00 years. Henceforth the queen will he in a position to be consulted by her minister'; at a moment’s notice, which will greatly simplify matters. In the same proportion that the queen is old-fashioned in her views, in her surroundings. in her manner and in her appearance, so is the prince of Wales up to date. Marlborough house and Sandringham are fitted up with telephones and electric lights, in the most approved style. Should the prince survive Ids mother, his advent to the throne is likely to be marked by all sorts of innovatious, which will have the effect of simplifying the present intricate manner of conducting the business of state. In this respect he resembles his nephew. Emperor William, of Germany, whose predilection for the telephone is a source of disgust to the various government officials at Berlin. There are instruments In his library and workingroom, ns well as in a number of other of the imperial apartments, and he is all day long engaged in ringing up one government official or another, or else talking with his friends and courtiers over tin wire. He seems to find the same pleasure in calling up the various government departments over the telephone that he docs in alarming the various garrisons at night time, being evidently under the impression that by so doing he keeps the officials strictly attentive to their duties, and convinced that if not the eye, at any rate the ear, of the emperor is upon them. Although it may flatter the pride of the telephone people at Berlin to have the emperor among tho subscribers of th system, yet he gives them far more trouble than any other subscriber. For when he telephones to any of the government departments the operators at the central office are under the strictest orders to abstain from listening to the conversation.—X. \\ Mail and Express. Withering:* “I hah de pleasure ob announcin’ dat Candydate Moses Wiutergreen am anonymously ’lected to membabship in dis club,” announced the president of the Blackville Social club. “Yo’ mean ‘unanimously ’lected,” Mistah I’res’dent,” corrected a member. “When de pres’dent of dis club deziahs any information or advice from yo’, he will let yo’ know, Jabe Jaspah,” retorted the president, loftily. “You’d ought to know, sah, dat ‘unanimous’ an’ ‘anonymous’ is synonymatic pahts of speech, sah!"—x.

Fortnunte Tide. “There is a tide in the nfl'oirsof men,” said the man who habitually quotes Shakespeare, “which, taken at its flood, leads on to fortune.” “Yes,” replied the man who had married an heiress, “I remember the tide ] that led to my fortune well.” “What tide was that ?” “It was eventide, and we were sitting in the garden.”—Washington Star.

SUDDENLY BECAME RICH. Canadian Miner round a Monstrou* I*unip of Preclou* Metal. A prospecting miner returning*, ried and disgusted, from cn unsuccessful season, stumbled across a bowlder so rich in gold that in an instant he is a millionaire, says the Xew York Journal. it reads like a fairy talc, but it happens to be true. There is satisfactory evidence of the truth of Martin Xeilly’s wonderful find. It was on Monday, April 27, that Nelliy was returning to Bossland, B. after nn unsuccessful prospecting trip in the Salmon river district. He had reached the Columbia river at a point six mi vs north of 'I'rail Landing, B. C., nt about noon, and, selecting a site on the bank of the stream, at the foot of lookout mountain, sat down to eat his dinner. As lie munched his humble food ho noticed a huge bowlder, half buried in ♦ he sand, in u dry portion of the river bed, not far from where he sat. When he hod finished his meal he walked over to the bowlder, examining it in a casual manner, and then, us his experienced eye detected signs of the precious metal for which he had vainly sought for months, he attacked the great gray mass with his pick, w orking with feverish energy. He almost swooned when a fragment of rock came away, showing distinctly the traces of gold and copjier. “I am rich,” he shouted. Then he proceeded to take specimens of the ore from a dozen places on the bowlder, staked out his claim, hurried into Hnsshuid, arriving late in the afternoon,and recorded the claim. The next day he had his specimens assayed by different experts, who found that the ore ran ia value all the way from four to fiftyeight dollars to the ton. When he told of his great fortune, there was a wild rush to the place. A surveyor accompanied Xeilly to his bonanza, and, after making measurements, declared that the bowlder weighed approximately 20,000 tons, and | that, in round numbers, it will prove to i be worth $1,000,000. FOLDING KITES. A Novelty from France That Close* Like an Fmhrrlln A novelty from France is n folding kite. Folded up it looks somewhat like a small rolled-up umbrella; o|>ene<l out ready to fly its shni>c is like thnt of the kite commonly known as the bow kite. It has a single upright stick, which is .10 inches in length. The bow is formed of two light steel ribs, one on either side of the stick, which are raised into place and bowed into form, as the ribs of an umbrella are raised; there are braces running from the ribs to a metal band which slides on the stick, like the sliding ferrule on the handle of nn umbrella; when the bow is raised and in place it is held there by turning a little metal button attached to the kite stick under the band to which the braces are attached. As the ribs are raised their inner ends, where they meet at the stick, near the top, bow up into a light metal holder which projects slightly on either side of the stick and w hich holds the two parts of the bow in line. The kite is covered w ith light muslin; they are used in covering the kites muslins of various colors, so that some of the kites are red, some blue, and so on. The tail is of string with little parti-colored bunches of muslin cuttings attached along its length, as little bunches of paper are sometimes attached to string kite tails; at the end there is a little bag in which may be placed a marble or other weight, if more ballast is required, in a high wind. NO CALF THERE. The Itoy Knew What to Expect If Ho Returned. The boy was storting out in the world to make a living, and possibly a name for himself. His father had given hin; some money and a great deal of advice. He had a situation in prospect, and as he had never taken kindly to farm work it looked like a good opportunity for him, says the Detroit Free Dress. “Thur’s one thing I wanter say ter ye, ” the old man said as he handed the youngster his luggage out of the spring wagon at the station, “an’ I wantyerto understan’ thet 1 say it in all kindness. Ye’re goin’ away from home weth puny good pros pecks.” “Yes, dad." “An’ at the same time ye’re goin’ ter move inter tho neighborhood o’ the wicked whur yer foot’s liable ter slip any minute.” “Y’es, dad.” “Wall, whut I wanter say is jes’ this: Home’s goin’ ter stay right hero whur ye kin alius turn to it. Dut times he^ been mighty hard lately an’ this farm never wun’t no great shakes no how.” “I know it, dad.” “So ye might ez well understan’ thet ef ye come back ’cause ye wanter se t the folks ng’in, ye’ll git yer wish, butef ye come back lookin' fur fatted calf, ye’ro powerful likely ter get disajrp’inted." (.■iiarriiug Agai^Ht Accidents. It was a London diamond broker and he was trying to get into the social swim. At last he received cards for a certain imposing function, but, unfortunately, about the sumo time, was forced to assume the leading role in nn unsavory police court case. “Y’ou 'avs done it,” exclaimed his friends. “You vill get a leedle note to say der dance has been postponed, and you vill not be told when der day is!” “Xod so,” exclaimed the Jew; “I have der invitation to Somerset house taken to get it stamped. It is now a contract." Weatxxilnater Hall. Westminster hall lias been closed to the public, except when under surveillance, since the dynamite explosions IX years ago.

THE CHINESE AND OPIUM. Une Writer Think* They Smoke to Kill ttie Monotony of Existence. May it not be from sheer weariness and want of something to do that many Chinese take to the opium pipe? In most places in China organized gambling is forbidden. With the exception of an occasional game at shuttlecocks ©r kite-flying—only at fixed seasons— there are no outdoor sports. The Chitu'se rarely walk for pleasure. Interiors arc comfortless. There is no social intercourse between respectable men and women. There is rot sufficient house room, privacy or light tor reading after dark. How is time to be kille i? I think, says a writer in Blackwood's Magazine, that the monotony of existence may be one of the chief causes of opium smoking. On the whole, tin.ugh nt Canton I was in contact with opium smokers almost daily, and made a point of seeing as much as [tossihle of the native life, the seamy side of opium smoking did not obtrude itself much upon me. Just ns in an English coast town one may daily see the flaring light of the gin palace, the besotted faces of occasional loafers, the bedraggled garments, and f nfer therefrom great misery behind it nil, so one might fairly infer great misery from the spectacle of numerous opium dens, cadaverous faces and tatterdemalion garments in Canton, if oiw should see them, but I did not see them obtrusively, though I was daily poking my nose into all sorts of nooks and corners. Xaturallv, a medical missionary will see a great deal more of the seamy side. It is his business. HAWKINS AND HIS DOG. The Former'* Presence of Mind Fnder TryliiR Circumstance*. X'ot long ago Mr. Justice Hawkins had a fox terrier named Jack. Once nt Warwick Jack and his master were caught ratting by a farmer on the tanks of the Avon. His lordship, no wise disconcerted, tendered a sovereign tf. cover the trespass, which the farmer, affronted by such a coo] proceeding, refused with indignation, says London Tit-Bits. "You had better take it,” said tho judge. "It’s a reasonable offer.” Then the farmer got so angry that Sir Henry announced himself: “And what is oiore, sir,” said he, “you shall go with me to the Warwick Arms nn 1 crack a bottle of champagne with that sovereign immediately.” The story adds that there was free ratting for Jack on that bit of land ns long as he lived. There are other stories about Jack, and it is said that when sitting on the bench with his master he once ventured to express his opinion on the matters before him in a singularly loud tone. The tale goes thnt Sir Henry, with the greatest promptitude, directed the ushers: to "turn that dog out of the gallery.” The ushers of course did not find a dog in the gallery, and nobody ventured to look under the bench. On solemn occasions Jack was always attached "to the judge’s wrist by a long blue ribbon, and many a junior has beguiled the tedium of a case by watching the ribbon gradually unroll ns Jack pursued his investigations, while Sir Henry every now and t’.ien “hauled in the slack.”

PAST AND PRESENT ATHLETICS. Some of tho Storlo* of Grecian Horne* Frohahty a Little ExuRgeritteil. We do not know with any scientific accuracy what the Greek athletes actually did, what weights they hurled, at what pace they ran, how high they leapt, or what were, the heights, weights or ages of those who sought the wreaths. There are some lies, we believe, recorded, but they are too clearly lies. Xobody, for Instance, says the S[)ectotor, ever jumped forward 55 feet any more than he jumped 500 feet. We know of some feats of endurance which the athletes pet formed us soldiers, we. know that they were lithe and slight and well-formed, and we know thnt they thought each other physically matchless among mankind, and that is nearly all that we do know. It is extremely probable that if the old victors In the games could be made to live again far a day we should find that the English and American athletes beat them with a certain ease, for northerners are stronger than southerners, and equally lithe and well-trained. Tin Creeks may have had more endurance, as some savages have still and Japanese coolies, but even that is doubtful, for ♦ he Greeks thought swimming across the Hellespont a wonderful feat, and an Englishman, Capt. Webb, performed sne at least 13 times as noteworthy without dangerous exhaustion. He swam from Dover to Calais.

OITere'l Him h Steady Job. A good story is told of how Daniel O’Connell received the grateful blessing of an Irishman. During the course of his circuit in Ireland he was able to secure the liberation of a young son of Erin who had been charged with some offense or other. On a second turn around the country O’Connell again saved the Irishman from the arm of law. The prisoner, overwhelmingly grateful, wenl up to the advocate, shook him by the hand and, in the fullness of his heart, exclaim, <1: “And may the Lord save j e to defend me always, Mr. O'Connell.”

The Mhiutenottft of Spore*. Every plant in the v egetable kingdom springs from and produces seeds. The mushroom and the fungi in gene nil are no exceptions, only that their reproductive bodies are termed “spores.” Some fungi spores are so inconceivably minute that it would require more than 200,000,000 of them placed side by skle to cover the space of a square inch. Cruel Custom. A cruel custom prevails on the death of a prince of the royal family of Austria. His horse, covered with a black cloth, follows the funeral, limping painfully. The lameness is caused by driving a nail through one shoe, and is intended to typify the animal's sorrow.
