Lord John Bentinck.

Lord George was a grandson of the celebrated gambler, General Scott, of Balcomie, who won fabulous sums Jn the early times of George 111. The General had three daughters, and he left in his will that if any one of them married a peer she was not to receive a shilling. This was‘singular, as General’s wealth had been acquired by* the plundering of the nobility. It is almost as odd as that of the royal coachman, who left his property to his son on condition that he did not marry a maid of honor (he had evidently been sorely tried by the unpunctualitv and heartlessness of these attendants on royalty). However, the Duke of Portland married the eldest daughter, and took the name of “Scott-Portland.” Mr. Canning married another daughter, and a family arrangement took place by which the Duchess received her portion. Three of the sons of the Duke became members for Lynn. Lord Litchfield, the eldest, was a man of the highest talents, an excellent orator, and devoted to parliamentary pursuits. If he had lived he would have risen high. He died young, and it is said that the well-known hospitality at election times of the old Lynn families hastened his end. Lord John, the late Duke of Portland, succeeded him. He was the handsomest of a handsome family, but he retired soon from Parliament and was succeeded by Lord George. Lord John met with a great disappointment in early life. He was devotedly attached to Miss Poyntz, whose father, however, preferred that his daughter should become Lady Exeter. Lord George then became member for Lynn. Lord Henry, the youngest brother, did not care about the turf, but was great in the huntingfield and at the whist-table; he has caused more quarreling among mankind than any man who ever existed by inventing the signal for trumps. Woe to the man who does not see it! a shower of reproaches falls on his guilty head.— Temple Bar.

The Scandinavian Languages.

The language spoken during the heathen ages in all the Northern or Scandinavian lands is known in history as the Norse tongue, and, although different dialeets no doubt existed, it is certain that substantially the same language was used by the inhabitants of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Iceland until the eleventh century. In Denmark, however, contact with the Latin races largely modified the tongue, and with the introduction of Christianity important changes were incorporated ihto it. Modern Danish, therefore, though retaining many words from, and important structural resemblances to, the old Norse language, is essentially a different tongue. Modern Swedish has been developed from one or more Norse dialects in the same manner, but the change was so slow that as late as the fourteenth century the old Norse sagas were still understood at the courts, wherein the popular tongue is the soonest lost. There are now in Sweden marked dialectic differences between the speech of the southern and northern districts of the country. In the north there is still a noticeable approximation to the original Norse tongue, while in the south the resemblances to the Danish are so great as to render the two languages nearly the same. In Norway tbfe Danish language was made, ip 1397, by the terms of the union between the two countries, the official language. It is still the language used throughout the country in all schools and colleges, and in business and social life; everywhere, indeed, except in the rural districts, where dialects hearing strong resemblance to the speech of the old Norsemen are still in use. — Inter Ocean.

A Pudding of the Paris Siege.

I have eaten many a pudding, but there is one I shall never forget. Plums it had none, of suet it was innocent, the flour had a dingy hue, and its perfume wa3 redolent of mysteries. It was during the Paris siege—already a chapter of modern history. Small was the British colony during those dark days, only half a dozen families werfi here in all, and not two of those had a pudding at all. Oh, what a pudding it was! How heavy in the middle! What a poor, strained apology for the great national idish! The first course of horse-flesh had been greedily devoured (we were not over-nice in our tastes at that time), and just as the pudding made its appearance there was a loud ring at the door. Visitors wer§ few, and we started. “A telegram 1” “Yes!” News of friends and dear ones in England. A dozen words, not more, by pigeon post from Tours. How happy we all felt! —too happy for words! This was sauce for the pudding in good earpest. None richer and more toothsome ever was eaten. “Throw ou a log”—on such a night even fuel could not be economized. have a blaze, if it’s the last. And here’s to the health of absent friends in a bumper of claret, and * con usion to the enemy, the roar of whose guns makes distant thunder in our ears letter.

Shaker Inventions.

Various contrivances of mechanical merit have originated among the Shakers. The idea of a circular saw for catting boards was taken from a small saw first made and used in a turning lathe at Mount Lebanon, and the first iron saw was constructed in W 92 by Benjamin Bruce at that place, and is now in the New York State Agcultural Department in Albany.. The washing machine was a Shaker invention many years before it was patented. Printing presses, cheese presses, and planing mills have all been perfected by their ingenious activity. Babbitt metal is claimed as a composition of their discovery. Mowers and reapers and pea shelters, butter . workers and clothes-pins are all the product of their multiplied industry and skill. The Watervliet ConKagmity claims the invention of cut nails, and the screw propeller system of navigation is traced to an origin among these land locked people. The Shakers-have' paid little attention to patent rights and have reap--9d but little from their many inventions, having generally* been satisfied with the benefit occur- • ring to society from their nse.

EXCITEMENT UNABATED.

Proof that That Physician's Terrible Confession Is True. [Cleveland (O.) Herald.] Yesterday and the day before wo copied into i onr columns, from the Rochester (N. Y.) Demo-, crat and Chronicle, a remarkable statement, made by J. B. Henion, M.D., a gentleman who is well known in thia city. In that a rude Dr. Henion recounted a wonderful experience which befell him, and the ilfext day we published from the sdme paper a second article, giving an account of the excitement in Rochester,. and elsewhere, caused by Dr. Henion’s statement It is doubtful if any two articles were ever published which caused greater commotiop both among professionals and laymen. Since the publication of these 1 two articles, having been besiegod with letters of inquiry, we sent a connnumcatiou to Dr. Henion and also to H. H. Warner & Co., asking if any additional proof could be given, and here it* is: Gentlemen: I owe my life and present health wholly to tbe power of. Warner s Safe Cure., which snatched me from the very brink of the grave. It is not surprising that people should question the statement I made (which is true in every respect), for my recovery was as great a marvel to myself as to my physicians and friends. * * * „ J. B. Henion, M. D. Rochesteb, N. Y., Jan. 21. Sirs: The beat proof we can give you that the statements matte by Dr. Henion are entirely true, and would not have been published unless strictly so,As the following testimonial from the best citizens of Rochester, and a card published by Rev. Dr. Foote. H. H. Warner & Co.

To whom it may concern: ", We are personally or by reputation acquainted with Dr. Henion, and we believe he would publish no statement not literally true. We are also personally or by reputation well acquainted ivith Hi H. Warner & Co-., proprietors of Warner’s Safe Cure (by which Dr. Heiiion says he whß ( pui'od), ivhps.e commercial and persoaij standing in this community are of the highest order, and we believe that they would not pilblisli any statements which were not literally and strictly truo in every particular.

Democrat and Chronicle of the 31st of December, a statement made by J. B, Henion, M. D., narrating how he had been cured of Bright’s disease of the kidneys, almost in its last stages, by the use of Warner’s Safe Cure. I was referred to iu that statement, as Raving recommended and urged Dr. Henion to try the remedy, which lie did, and was cured. The statement of Dr. Henion is true, so far as it concerns myseif, and I believe it to bo true in all other respects. He Was a parishioner of mine and I visited him in his sickness. I urged him to take the medicine, and would do the samo again to any one who was troubled with a disease of the kidneys and liver. Israel Eoote (D. D.), (Late) Rector of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. Rochester, N. Y. -It seems impossible to doubt further in the faco of such conclusive proof.

Alfonso’s Ring of Ill-Omen.

Superstitious people in Spain comment on the fact that the late King wore a fatal ring. Among the presents which Don Alfonso gave to his wife, Donna Mercedes, there was a magnificent ring, ornamented with a large black pearl encircled with diamonds. The Queen wore it until the day of her death. The young King, after the loss of his first wife, presented the ring to his sister, the Infanta Pilar, who also wore it until she died. The superstitions shay easily have suspected, in such a land aS Spain, that the ring itself was not wholly unconnected with the rabidly successive deaths of the two beautiful yoking ladies who had worn it. The King would not give it. to a third lady, but he wore it himself until he also died. Queen Christina, who drew the ring from the finger of the dead monarch, debated for awhile whether she would herself wear it in memory of him, or would place it among the historic family jewels. She decided to take the latter course. A satirical fellow-countryman of Cervantes, in the Spanish court, is reported to have asked,“ \\ kv did nfit her Majesty send that ring to Don Carlos?” To Which another courtier replied; “The pretender would have marched straight to the pawnbroker’s with it; and so it would have failed to produce the result so desirable for Spain.”

Required Quiet at the Table.

A lesson in table etiquette was taught by Master Willie, aged 5 years. “Mamina,” he said, with a severe look at the baby, who was drumming upon the table with his spoon vehemently, “will you please keep the children quiet?” Efforts were made, but in vain, and as the baby resumed operations the small brother with much emphasis asked to be excused from the table. In a short time he reappeared with his ears filled with cotton. “My dear,” said the tired mother, “could you not endure the noise as well as me?” “iso, mamma,” said "Willie, decidedly, “I ean endure a cannon tired close to my ear, but I can’t stand noise while I am eating.”— lrorj Times.

Fahnehjeim’s Light.

Mr. Otto Fahnebjeim, of Sweden, invented a combination of suitable substance and flame lor producing l ght from ah incandescent solid. The flame of water gas has intense heating power. An ordinary fan-tail burner is used, the flame from which passed between two rows of vertical teeth ccyn.posed of magnesia, baked and molded, with starch, under high pressure. The teeth when heated become beautifully luminous, and the light shows colors correctly, and can be used for photography, Seveßal cyclopedias contain the statement, in substance, that no land in Connecticut rises above a thousand feet in height. Professor Asaph Hall writes to Science that, according to Mr. G. M. Bradford’s surveys, several points in the northwest part of the State are higher than this, and mentions six mountains that exceed 1,600 feet. They are: Ivy Mount, Goshen, 1 1,642; Hliystack Mount, Norfolk, 1,072; Bald Mount, Norfolk, ,1,770; Bradford Mount, Canaan, l,0l6; Bear Mount, Salisbury, 2,100; and Bruce Mount, Salisbury, 2,300 feet. M' Peat bogs cover about one-seventh of the surface of Trebled. Some of these bogs are supposed to Represent twenty thousandydarn’ growth.

The Rise of the Ind vidual.

Every laborer in America ought to be a capitalist; at least, to some slight extent, and almost every healthy American labor might be a capitalist, but he must become wiser than he is to-day. He must learn to be industrious, get rid of his vices, and must not waste his wages. He must come to such control of his own individuality that he will be a free partner in a free contract, able, on his own account, to accept or refuse the terms offered him. In some way, labor must be organized on one hand and capital on the other, so that they can stand feeing each other as free, friendly, self-controlling, independent powers. Then they can peacefully settle the problems that threaten their peace and their prosperity. The outcome, it seems to me, of human history, so far as the problems of labor, as well r.s all departments of life, are concerned, is to be this rise of individual into free, personal self-control. Bev. M. J. Savage, of Boston. General Rotcs Ingalls, Quartermaster Geheral IT, S. Army, says: “ St. Jacobs Oil is the best pain-cure we ever used.”

Size of the Sultan’s Brain.

A story which I heard from one who has long resided in Constantinople may illustrate the dimensions of the Sultan’s intellect. Qn one occasion a foreign embassador was introduced, who found the Sultan preoccupied, his brow weighed down with care. The first word that fell from his lips indicated how he felt the burdens which rested upon him, to which the embassador replied, with respectful sympathy, that the affairs of state which oppressed liis majesty must indeed be overwhelming. Thus drawn out, the Sultan mentioned the problem which at that very moment vexed the .imperial-mind—it was a be made in regard to the cafe's in Constantinople. If this be true (and I have it from authority which I cannot question), it gives the measure of the man. It shows a mind which delights itself in petty details, and is incapable of rising to the level of public affairs. Rev. Henry M. Field. ,r

J Only Half Alive.

There are hosts of men and women who, to coin a phrase, are only half alive. That is to say, they have seldom. If ever, any appotite, are nervous, weak, fidgety and troubled by numberless small pains and aches. In the presence of vigorous, exuberant vitality they seem mere pygmies. Such persons are usually fond of frequently dosing themselves, swallowing in the course of the year enough drugs to stock an apothecary’s shop of average dimensions. This, of course, defeats instead of furthering the end in view, viz., the recovery of health and vigor. Were they to seek it from an unfailing source of vitality, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, how different would be their case. Then vigor would return to their debilitated frames, 1 the glow of health to their wan cheeks, their trembling, uncertain gait would grow firm and elastic, appetite, that grandest of all sauces, would give a relish for ihe daily food, were it never so coarse, and refreshing sleep would crown the tasks of the dify.

What the Pious Trustee Did.

“While practicing law a number of years ago,” said Judge Tourgee, “I had a peculiar will case. An old lady, who was a slave-holder, dying, bequeathed her colored man John and her dusky maid J ane, who sustained to each other the relation of husband and wife, tp the trustees of her church, *to be used as far as possible for the glory of God.’ I was curious to knew what course was taken, and upon investigation found that after meditation and prayer the pious trustees sold their living legacy at auction, and with the proceeds sent a missionary to China. ” Uncle Sam’s liquor bill last year was $553,000,000.

A Terrible Fire

arouses the apprehensions of a whole city. And yet the w.ld havoc of disease startles no one. Sad to relate, women suffer from year to year with chronic diseases and weaknesses peculiar to their sex, knowing that they are growing worse with every day, and still take no measures for their own relief.

His success is phenomenal His practice enormous. He is sought after by hundreds whereTer he goes, because he cures when every other physician and remedy have failed. He has allowed his great medicines, Golden Seal Bitters and Lung Food for Consumption, to bn offered to the suffering, and wo assert without fear of successful contradiction that there is no disease they will not cure.

Remarkable Escape.

John Kuhn, of Lafayette, In A, had a very narrow escape from death. This is his own story: “One year ago I was in the last etages of Consumption. Our best physicians gave my case up.
