Prince William, of Prussia, the eldest son of the Crown Prince, and the future Em- peror, has a very great skill in playing the vielin—a skill which he acquire: by taking lessons in private, without lis father’s knowledge, at Bonn, where he is a student. Not long ago the Crown Prince, who likes popular tunes, ordered a Hungarian band now staying at Berlin, to play at one of his family gatherings. During a pause in the music, Prince William asked the first violin player to lend him his violin for a moment, ard waiking quietly up behind the Crown Princess, who was engaged in conversation with some ladies, struck up one of Strauss’ waltzes. The Crown Princess turned round to see where the music came from, and was equally surprised and delighted to find that it was her son playing, playing so nicely, too, that she and all the ladies applauded. He went throngh a variety of tunes, waltzes, student songs and quadrilles, and on leav- ing off and making his bow was rewarded, not only with hearty applause from the princesses and ladies present, but by words of commendation irom the bandmaster and Crown Prince. Modestly disclaiming any merit for himself he returned the violin to its owner, with the words, ‘* Your violin plays well.”

fur a comparison of prices reveals According to

of pig iron per ten was about 95s in 1874, but for the first eleven months of 1878 the figures published show it to have been only 53s 6€—a falling off amounting to about 44 per cent. Pig iron warrants were quoted as low as 43s 7d per ton in Glasgow in December, and in the Cleveland district iron can, it would seem, be produced at less than 35s per ton. At the Glasgow warrants’ price, the value of 100 tons pig iron is now nearly £300 less than the average value of 1874. Coals have fallen from 17s 2d in 1874 to 9s 6d in 1878. A similar decline has been going on in the leading tissue manufacturing industries. The average value of cotton yarn has fallen 20 per cent. since 1874, and that of cotton piece goods has sunk quite as far. The fallin the value of woollen yarn has been fully greater ; and, although that of piece goods has been on the average less, it hes still been greater by fully five per cent. than the average de- cline in the price of raw wool. Raw cot- ton, on the cther hand, is now lower in price than it has been for nearly thirty years, but the fall has been so recent that the effect is not felt. ‘The serious question is the cause of this decline ; does it spring from a decreased demand for English goods abroad? In face of decreasing exports; encrmous stocks said to be held at home ; while foreign countries are increasing their exports as well as substituting home goods for those formerly imported, we fear the question must be answered in the aflirnia- tive, in which case England will soon have to face the question hew she is to pay for imports of articles of food valued at from 120,000,000 to £150,000,000 annually. -— ++ ae +e =,

The Danger of Chewing Gum.

Sweet are the diversions of innocent. girlhood, but not always harmless. Dainty Lida Smith, a Louisville lass, has had, during the past year, no higher aspiration than chewing gum, and the mobility of the lower section of her countenance has in- creased from week to week. On Saturday week she was very thirsty, and went to the kitchen to get a drink of cold water; and when she returned her jaws were moving rapidly Her mother told her to throw the chewing-gum away. The girl pointed to the mantelpiece, where she had laid her mouthful of wex before going into the kitchen. ‘There was uothing in her mouth, and yet her jaws were moving rapidly. Her mother teased, implored, commanded the child to keep her face straight, and stil] the jaws were moving rapidly. A physician came and put a tight bandage over the child’s inonth, but excitement increased the action of the jaws, and the neryous twitch- ing extended to the upper part of her face. A dose of morphine was administered, but through the night the jaws were moving rapidly. It was not until dawn that the muscular disturbance ceased. The physi- cian said that it was a case of spasmodic action of the facial muscles caused by over- action. Sweet sixteen, eject from they rosy mouth the treacherous chewing-gum ! Garrulous adult, who talkest thy neighbor to death, take warning now, while thy’ jaws are moving rapidly.—N. Y. Tribune.

—— i> 20° ee — Victory of the French Government

The Paris correspondent of the Times says the French Government’s victory is due primarily to a general movement of sound public opinion. Moderate journals of Paris and the Provinces have vigorously declared in favor of the Cabinet. The Teinps, Jour: nal des Debats, Siecle, National and other journals ably defended the minority. The Moderate Republicans were induced to seek a platform of conciliation with the Left Centre, who felt that the attack was directed against themselves and their policy; while the Cabinet, to avoid imperilling its friends, the Republic and liberty, accepted the necessity of depriving its adversaries of a piea about changes of functionaries, which served as a pretext for other designs. Last- ly, those of the Left who were resolved to overturn the Cabinet had neither men nor a programme acceptable to the country.
