A Wryxpratt. — Twenty-five years ago William Rose—so says the Manchester Guardian—left his wife, to whom he had been married but four months, at Bolton, and came to America. He went to Savan- nah, beeame a machine maker, opened a rice mill, was chief steamboat inspector, and died last month, leaving an estate valued at $100,000, which she is coming over to America to obtain. For 16 years she and her sister had made a_ poor living by taking lodgers.

THe Duke d@’Aumale is commander of a frontier corps and at times is very warlike and unguarded in his sayings. Recently some observations were made in his pres- ence concerning the probable annexation of Dutch ports, sooner or later, by Germany, when the royal duke exclaimed angrily, ‘‘If France tamely submitted to such a wrong, l for one would in shame discard the sword for a monk’s cowl.” The un- wary speech reached the ears of the wily terman Chancellor, who made a note of the belicose temper of the Orleans Prince.

Ex-Quren Isapetta, ef Spain, although scarcely a model of goodness, is represented as very kindhearted and delighting in do- ing good quietly and unostentatiously. Her recent sale of jewels realized four hundred thousand dollars more than was expected, and this she proposes to devote to the erec- tion of a mausoleum for the young Queen Mercedes, her daughter-in-law, to whom she was sincerely attached. Her Majesty it is said, contemplates a visit to the United States, probably to polish up her geogra- phical education, which, judging froma question she lately asked as to whether Cuzce, Peru, was not opposite New York, is rather rusty. Should her ex-Majesty visit them, doubtless our American cousins will, as in the case of other royal and noble

ages who have been among them, raanifest their intense devotion to democra- tic ideas and intolerance of snobbery, by the most fulsome adulation and copying to the minutest detail her dress, style, and manners, forgetting in their hospitable spirit, that the lustre of their guest is some- what tarnished.

An Incident of Prince Albert's Boyhood.

A German duchess, distinguished for her good sense and goodness of heart, was cele- brating her birthday in the palace of a small German capital.

The court congratulations were over, and the lady retired from the scene of festivity to the seclusion of her boudoir. Presently she heard light footsteps coming up the stairs. ‘‘ Ah,” she said, ‘‘ there are my two little grandsons coming to congratulate me.”

Two rosy lads, of ten and eleven years of age, came in—one named Albert and the other Karnest. They affectionately greet- ed the duchess, who gave them the cus- tomary present of ten louis d’or to each, and related to them the following sugges- tive anecdote : :

** There once lived an emperor in Rome, who used to say that no one should go away sorrowful from a prince. He was always doing good and caring for his people ; and when, on one evening, while at supper, he recollected that he had not done one single act of kindness to any one during the day, he exclaimed with regret and sorrow friends, I have lost this day !”

‘*My children, take this emperor for your model, and live in a princely way like

him.” The boys went down stairs delight- ed. Atthe palace gate they met a poor

woman, wrinkled and old, and bowed down

,; with grief and trouble.

‘**Ah, my good young gentlemen,” she said, ‘‘ bestow a trifle on an aged creature. My cottage is going to be sold for debt, and I shall not have where to lay my head. My goat, the only means of support I had, has been seized. Pity an old woman, and be charitable.”

Earnest assured her he had no money, and so on.

Albert hesitated; he thought of her piti- able situation a moment, was touched by her pleading looks, and tears came into his eyes. The story of the Roman emperor came to his mind. He took from his purse the whole ten louis d’or and gave them to the woman.

Turning away, with a light heart, he left the old woman weeping with joy.

That boy was Prince Albert of England, justly entitled Albert the Good.

‘* Blessed is he that considereth the poor; the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble; the Lord will preserve him and keep him alive, and he shall be _ blessed upon the earth, and thou will not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.”

A Joke on Webster

ster started off from Marshfield on a trout- ing expedition to Sandwich, a neighboring town of Cape Cod. On approaching the stream he alighted from his wagon, and just then he met the owner of the farm through which the stream ran.

‘Good morning,” said Mr. ‘tare there are any trout here ?”’

“Well,” said the farmer, ‘‘some people fish here, but [ don’t know what they do get.”

“Pil throw in my line,” said. Webster, ‘tand see what there is.”

Webster walked the banks of the stream trying his luck, and the old farmer followed him. Soon Webster remarked ;

‘You have some bog on your farm ?

**Yes,” says the farmer, ‘‘that ain’t the worst of it.”

Fishing still further along, Webster says :

** You seem to have plenty of musketoes here?”

‘© Yes,” he worst of it.”

Webster still keeping on throwing his line into the deep pools, said :

** You have plenty of briars here ?”

‘* Yes,” said the farmer, ‘‘ and thaf ain’t the worst of it.”

Mr. Webster getting somewhat discour- ed in a hot August day, bitten by muske- toes, scratched by briars, and not raising a single fish, dropped his rod and said :

“Talo not believe that there are any trout here.”

** And that ain’t the worst of it,” said the farmer.

‘* Well” said Mr. Webster, ‘ [ should like to know what is the worst of it ?”

‘There never was any here’ says the farmer.

Mr. Webster enjoyed the joke, and often told it to his particular friends.

Horsemonger Lane gaol, London, has been vacated and is about to be demolished. It was one of the first prisons erected ac- cording to a model system that resulted from John Howard’s philanthropic labors in the latter half of the eighteenth century. It was built in 1791, and the roof of its lodge gates became at once the place of public execution, There Colonel Despard and his six companions were hanged in 1803 for an alleged conspiracy ; so was Richard Patch, of Mr. Bligh; so were the notorious Mannings. ‘The first person hanged within the walls was Margaret Walters, the baby-farmer. The old gaol was a famous place of imprisonment for debtors. It has also contained some nota- ble offenders against the law, including Leigh Hunt, who passed two years for call- ing George LV. ‘‘An Adonis of forty ;” the Rev.

SYDNEY COAL.

-~———— 10; - ———

REDUCTION IN PRICE!

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC!

fPVUE GENERAL MINING ASSOCIA-

TION (Limited) beg to intimate to the Public that the price of SYDNEY COAL has been

Reduced to $2 per ton of 2240 Ibs., a price which it is hoped will place it within the reach of all consumers.

The opening of the new winning at ‘* THE SYDNEY MINES” and the fact that the SYDNEY COAL now being shipped is all from the DEEP taken in connection with re cent improvements in the process of screening, affords purchasers a positive guarantee of the very superior quality and condition of the SYDNEY COAL now offered for sale.

It is a well-know fact that for many years past the prices of other Cape Breton coals have been regulated by the rates tixed for SYDNEY COAL; but while it is true that other coals, to get a sale at all, have been pressed on the market at various prices under the current rate of SYDNEY COAL, it is no less true that, taking into account the superior lastin qualities of SYDNEY COAL when compare with other Cape Breton coals, the advantage, both as to economy and convenience, is in favor of SYDNEY COAL, even at a much higher price.

The General Mining Association (Limited) regret that they should again have to caution

from time to time to induce them to buy in- ferior coals purporting to be *‘ EQUAL TO SYDNEY,” *“*“SUPERIOR TO SYDNEY,” ete., etc., while some yet more unscrupulous vendors have not hesitated to advertise their coalas SYDNEY COAL (from some designated locality). All these efforts to sell coal by such means are only so many admissions on the part of those who make them of the sranDARD character of SYDNEY COAL.

It has come to the knowledge of the Asso- ciation that in frequent instances parties givin orders to truckmen and others for SYDNEY COAL have been furnished with other and inferior coal. ‘The Public are cautioned against permitting themselves to be imposed upon in this way.

Every vessel loaded at THE SYDNEY MINES is furnished with a certificate of the cargo being Sydney Coal. Parties purchasing should satisfy themselves by demanding the production of this certificate.

The ‘‘ Sydney Coal” is registered ander the laws of the Dominion, and unauthorized parties using the Trade Mark “SYDNEY COAL” are hable to prosecution.
