FREE TRADE.

One of the earliest uses of this phrase | occurred on tle opening of the Irish Par- iii iment in 1777, when Hussey Burgh jmouved the address to the King, in which | was the following sentence: ‘It is not by | temporary expedients, but by an extension of trade that [Ireland can be ameliorated.” | Flood, who was seated in the Vice-Treas- |urer's place, said audibly; ‘‘ Why nota |tvee trade?” The amendment electrified the House; the words were adopted, and | the motion was carried unanimously. | ‘*GREAT RVENTS FROM LITTLE CAUSES SPRING.” _‘“Tf the nose of Cleopatra had been | Shorter,” said Paseal, in his epigrammatic ‘and brilliant manner, “the condition of ‘the world would have been different.” ‘The 'Mahomedans have a tradition, that when ‘their prophet concealed himself in Mount |Shur, his pursuers were deceived by a 'spider’s web which covered the mouth of the cave. Luther might have been a law- yer, had his friend and companien escaped jtue thunder-storm at Erfurt. Scotland | had wanted her stern reformer, if the ap- jpeal of the preacher had not started him ‘inthe Chapel of St. Andrew’s Castle. j}And if Mr. Grenville had not carried, in '1764,. his memorable resolution as to the jexpediency of charging ‘‘ certain Stamp | Duties” on the plantations in America, the , western world might still have bowed to ‘the British sceptre. Cowley might never ihave been a poet, if he had not found the '“ Faery Queen” in his mother’s — parlor. {Opie might have perished in mute obscur-

of his young companion, Mark Otes, while he was drawing a butterfly. Giotto, one of the early Fiorentine painters, might have continued a rude shepherd boy, if a sheep, drawn by him upon a stone, had not at- tracted the notice of Cimabue as he went

that way. Cromwell was near being strangled « in his cradle by a monkey; here was this wretched ape

wielding in his paws the destinies of nations. Charles Wesley refusea to go with his wealthy namesake to Ireland; and the inheritance which would have been his, goes to build up the fortunes of a Weilesiey instead of a Wesley; and to this decision of a schoviboy (as. Mr. Southey observes) Methodism may owe its existence, and England its military —and we trust we may add, its civil and poli- tical—lory.—Quarterly Review.

ORIGIN OF BRITANNIA.

At Lettington Castle, in East Lothian, is a full length portrait, by Lely, of Fran- ces Theresa Stuart, Duchess of Lennox, the most admired beauty of the court of Charles If. It is stated by Grammont that the king caused this lady to be represented is the emblematical figure of Britannia on the ecoin of the realm. The portrait repre- | sented a tall woman, with that voluptuous fulness of feature arid person which seems, perhaps fromthe taste of the painter, to characterize the beauties of this reign. She ‘eans upou the base of a pillar, and has an xspect of the utmost sweetness. Her lux-! aviant haw falls upon her fair white should- ers and her haif-seen bosom. She is nagnificiently attired in purple, and a | profuse robe of green, falling away from ! her shoulders, comes round her timbs, and} draws the purple garment nearer to her figure. Suchis the reputed origin of our | ‘* Brittania ;” but a tigure not unlike that on | English copper money is to be met with in. the large brass coins of Hadrian and! (ntoninius Pius. ,

royal palaces, is necessary for keeping order at court. In Spain it was carried to such lengths as to make martyrs of their kings. ‘There is an instance, at which, in spite of ihe fatal consequences it produced, one can- not refrain from smiling. Philip the Third was gravely seated by the fireside; the fire- maker of the court had kindled so great a quantity of wood, that the monarch was nearly suffocated with heat, and his grandeur would not suffer him to rise from the chair; the domestics could not presume to enter the apartment, because it was

against the etiquette. At length the Marquis de Potat appeared, and the

King ordered him to damp the fire ; but he excused himself, alleging that he was forbidden by the etiquette to perform such a function, for which the Duke d’ Usseda cught te be called upon, as it was his basi- ness. The Duke was gone out: the sire burnt fiercer; and the King endured it, rather than derogate from his dignity. But his blood was heated to such a degree that an erysipelas of the head appeared the next day, which, succeeded by a violent fever, carried him off in 1621 in the twenty-fourth year of his age.—Disraeli’s Curiosities of Literatwme.

(LATE OF HALI?AX,)

The Vicar of Bray, in Berkshire, was a

Eighth, anda Protestant under Edward the Sixth; he was a Papist again under Mary, and once more became a Protestant in the reign of Elizabeth. When this scandal to the gown was reproached for his versatility of religious creeds, and taxed for being a turncoat and an inconstant change- ling, as Fuller expresses it, he replied, ‘* Not so neither; for if 1 changed my re- ligion, {am sure I kept true to my princi-

ORIGIN OF ** HURRAH.”

| The word is pure Slavonian, and is com- ‘monly heard, from the coasts of Dalmatia to Behring’s Straits, when any of the popu- lation living within these limits are calhed on to give proof of courage and valor, The origin of this word belongs to the primitive idea that every man that dies heroically for his country goes straight to heaven—Hu- ruj (**to paradise”); and it is so that in _the shock and ardor of battle the coimbat- ‘ants utter that cry, as the Tarks do that of ** Allah!” each animating himself by the ‘certitude of immediate recompense to forget earth, and to contemn death. pig

A Novel Ear Trumpet. Sie

| Here isa word for those afflicted with severe deafness. A lady of my acquaint- ance has been very deaf for several years, and has tried various ear trumpets with little benefit. She now has one so unique and useful that others I think will like to try, and be pleased with the result. It is simply a hollow roll of stiff pasteboard, sach as pictures or architect’s plans are sent through the mail in. It may be a yard long or of convenient length to reach from

Ve ‘the mouth of the speaker to the ear of the ity, if he had not looked over the shoulder |

listener. which is of course placed near the roll. Every one knows it is hard te talk to a deaf person, who also realizes it keenly and feels very sensitive about ittoo. They miss a good share of bright conversation, those little nothings that give variety and perhaps chase away some dull train of thought. If a caller comes she raises her voice to the highest pitch when it is not al- ways necessary, says some very common-

‘place remark twice without being asked.

, Then complains at the call she made, in the

-other houuse, that it is a great exertion to

talk with Mrs. A.—,really her left lung was sore and her voice hoarse as a crow! Now a call on the lady who uses this simp- lest of ear trumpets isa mutual delight. Tne lady is a fine conversationalist herself- and both seated in an easy chair, the roll | betw een them, an animated conversation jis carried on in the usual tone of vice. ; ie eS

News Notes.

a

The statement that a famine in Egypt is feared, because of failure of crops, is official- ly declaréd to be untrue. The Nile is rising slowly and the crop will be equal to those of 1884.

The floods in Austria are increasing. Three-quarters of Trieste is submerged. Ten lives have been lost and great damage has been done to property. ‘Soldiers are at work day and night building embank- ments.

lt is reported that the cotton mills in Lancashire and other counties will com- mence running on short time on Monday, with the object of defeating the New York corner. ‘The operatives generally are will!- ing to assist the employers.

A Roman despatch reports: ‘* Mgr. Schiaftino has presented to the Vatican a a memorandum on the eventuality of the Pope leaving Rome. He approves Belgium as a Papal residence, owing to it neutral and Catholic character, but he is not in favor of the selection of Belgium, except under a guarantee from the powers. e approves of the departure from Rome only in the event of a vigorous application of the penal code or war with France, when the Vatican will become an object of sus- picion.”

At the dinner given at the officers’ club at Wilhelmshaven, on Thrrsday evening last, the Emperor of Germany in a speech returning thanks for the toast of his health, expressed his satisfaction at the manner in which the navy excuted the manceuvres. He dwelt upon the import- ance of the torpedo service, and said that although arduous it was the best school for young officers. He was convinced that the navy would soon be equal to the task of defending the coasts ot the fatherland. The army and navy’ would always act in con- cert for its welfare.
