New York Dispatch.—One cannot look at Don Carlos without wondering why such a magnificent specimen of a dry goods clerk should ever have his destiny spoiled by being born a prince. So many of the citizens of Grand Tower, Mi souri, have departed for other towns that it is hard work to find men to fill the municipal offices. Isn't this the town George Francis Train is looking for? Day by day the people are discovering that these great men whom we are honoring and trusting and looking up to, know twice as much about poker as they do of how to mould the destinies of the great and glorious country.

Mr. Spiggs, a fat man of Summer street, owed Mr. Shrimp, the grocer and provision dealer, a bill which the latter gentleman was anxious to collect, but which, for some trivial reason, the fat man had declared he would settle when he got ready and not a minute before. This saucy independence on the part of Spiggs irritated the grocer to such an extent that, finally, he made the bold statement to his bookkeeper that if he didn't mortify Spiggs into paying that bill within thirty days he would sell out his business to him for fifty cents on the dollar. The next afternoon Spiggs was passing the store on the opposite side of the street, when Shrimp ran to the door and yelled: "Come in here and pay that bill of yours, and don't go sneaking down the street with your head hung down like a sheep!" Spiggs took no notice of this demand, which seemed only to heighten the creditor's indignation. The following day he saw Spiggs down town in company with a friend, when he approached him and said: "You're a pretty man to be wearing a beaver hat, and here you are owing me for the victuals' you and your family stuffed yourselves with last Thanksgiving." Returning home he encountered one of Spiggs' daughters on her way with an associate to take a music lesson when he said: "I should think, young lady, that you would rather go without knowing how to play and sing till your father gets so that he can pay for what you eat." A day or two later, he saw through the window, one of Spiggs' sons getting measured at the tailor's for a suit of clothes, when he opened the door and said: "Don't you trust him a day for those clothes. His father has owed me $86.49 for sirloin steak and such things for over six months, and I can't get one dollar of it." Soon after this he saw Mrs. Spiggs and her daughter chatting with some ladies in the horse-car station, when he entered and said: "This woman's husband owes me for the soap that was used in washing that collar she's got on her neck, and I want my pay for it."

It has often been remarked that one reason why the Prussians were victorious over the French five years ago, was because the Prussian soldiers were much better educated, and therefore more intelligent. Education in Prussia is universal and compulsory. There are very few Prussians indeed who have not passed through the common school course; this is because the law requires that every child shall be sent to school. If a parent neglects to send his boy or girl he is fined; and if he continues this neglect his fine is increased, and he is even sometimes put in prison. Every town and village throughout Prussia is obliged to have schools, supported by taxes levied upon their inhabitants. No matter how poor the parent is, he must send his children to be educated. A small fee of about two cents a week is charged for each scholar; and if the parent cannot pay even this small sum, his children are taught free. The village schools differ from those of the towns in the studies taught. In the village schools the pupils are taught to write in German characters, reading, geography, history, and the four rules, of arithmetic. In the town or city schools they are taught to write in Roman text (such as we use), and advance in arithmetic to fractions and the rule of three. Children are only compelled to attend the town, or common schools; it is as the parent likes about sending his children to the higher schools. In all there are eleven grades of schools in Prussia, all supported by the State, or by public taxation. The lowest grade is that of the common village or town schools, of which we have already spoken. Next come what are called "citizen schools," in which further progress is made in the ordinary branches begun in the common schools. The third grade is that of the "real schools," in which languages, arts and sciences are taught. The seminaries are one step higher. These are a kind of normal schools, wherein young women and men are trained to teach in the common schools. Then, in order, come "colleges," industrial schools, schools of architecture, schools of mines, schools of agriculture, veterinary schools, and finally the universities. The teachers in the public schools are considered as State officials, and they, as well as the schools, are all under the control of the Minister of Public Instruction. The salaries paid to teachers in Prussia are very small. The highest paid in Berlin to masters is only $600 a year. A correspondent of Appletons' Journal, writing of the excavations at Pompeii, says: Among the most interesting of the objects found recently are two skeletons, one of a somewhat elderly man, the other of a woman. They were found in the Via Stabia, among the ashes of the last eruption, evidently overtaken in their flight and buried among the cinders. According to the usual method employed to preserve the external appearance of objects, liquid plaster was poured into the cavity, which serving as a mould, a face simile of the forms was obtained; and thus perfectly preserved, the statue-like bodies were placed in glass cases in the Pompeii Museum. While appreciating all the horror of such a death, and the suffering endured, as shown by the position of the limbs, one cannot but imagine what would have been the astonishment of that man and woman had some prophet informed them measured at the tailor's for a suit of clothes, when he opened the door and said: "Don't you trust him a day for those clothes. His father has owed me $86.49 for sirloin steak and such things for over six months, and I can't get one dollar of it." Soon after this he saw Mrs. Spiggs and her daughter chatting with some ladies in the horse-car station, when he entered and said: "This woman's husband owes me for the soap that was used in washing that collar she's got on her neck, and I want my pay for it." About a week later he saw Spiggs riding out with a clergyman, when, after beckoning to him to stop, he said: "You ought to be ashamed of yourself! Here you are passing yourself off to this minister of the gospel as an honest man, when you are owing me for the starch that is used in doing up your shirt bosom!" The next evening Shrimp called at the house of Spiggs, to see if he was ready to settle his bill, but Spiggs was away. Mrs. Spiggs, however, was at home, entertaining some of her lady friends at the tea table. Shrimps pushed his way into the dining-room, and said: "Ladies, the family whose hospitality you are now enjoying owes me for the flour that those hot biscuit there, on the centre of the table, are made from, and I should like to get my money for it confoundedly well." Passing out of the gate, he met Mr. Spiggs's oldest daughter in company with a young man whom he suspected was her afflianced, when he said: "That girl's cheek wouldn't look so plump and fat if it hadn't been for me. I have been letting her have all the fresh doughnuts and Bologna sausage she wanted for the past six months, and the bill hasn't been paid yet." The young man looked as though he felt a little ashamed to be found in such company, and was commencing to move down the street, when the young lady gave a wild shriek and fell senseless to the sidewalk. He came back and assisted her into the house, and that night Spiggs came in and paid his bill in full, with a liberal interest added thereto.—Danbury News. Eighteen Hundred Years After Death. A correspondent of Appletons' Journal, writing of the excavations at Pompeii, says: Among the most interesting of the objects found recently are two skeletons, one of a somewhat elderly man, the other of a woman.

The salaries paid to teachers in Prussia are very small. The highest paid in Berlin to masters is only $600 a year, while the sewing teachers (for sewing is taught in the female schools) only receive $45 and $50. It must be borne in mind, however, that the cost of living in Prussia is much less than in this country. In all there are about 8,000 common schools in Prussia, with over 3,000,000 pupils.—Youth's Companion. Social Changes.—The frequency with which families that have inherited wealth from some industrious, frugal father, disappear through their extravagance, recalls the Lancashire proverb—for the fact is a familiar one in England—"Twice elogs, once boots." The father wore clogs and saved money; his rich sons were boots and spent it; then sons took up the clogs again. A similar social change is indicated by a Scotoh proverb, "The grandsire digs, the father bigs, the son thiga." The grandfather dug his way by hard work to a fortune; the father built a fine mansion and brought up his son in luxury; the son spent all, and then took to thriving. Neighbors say of the grandfather, "He died a rich man." They say of the father, "Don't he make old —'s money fly!" They say of the son, "See that man driving the car! His grandfather could have bought this whole horse, railroad, and not have felt it." A gentleman was urged the other day to embrace religion, but he replied, inscrutely, "Mr. Winslow was a Christian, I believe; I don't want that kind of religion." The answer he received was: "I don't blame you; but suppose you try your mother's kind; you know what a blessing her hope was both to her and to you." Sure ought to rule her own house with diligence but not boast of it. Her managing powers ought to be confined to her own house, and never be sent out to interfere with her neighbors. It was a dark night. There was a long ladder. The boat was moored near the wharf. The stalwart young man rowed beautifully. But she changed her mind in the middle of the river and insisted upon returning to her father. He implored her to keep her promise; he wept; he vowed. Sentiment want to waste; he had to back water. They returned to Wilmington, Delaware, at daybreak, and there stood an old man with a shotgun on his shoulder. "Papa!" she said, "we've had such a nice ride on the river." Now they say that the report of that shower of flies in Canada is true enough if you knock the "f" off of flies. George Francis Train in Madison Square. The writer strolls through Madison Square in this city, (N.Y.) every evening. Among the observed of all observers is he of the ambrosial locks and browned face, who every evening sits on a seat remote from the others, surrounded by a lagout des fleurs, in the shape of a hundred or more children, mostly little girls. As we pass by we observe that he is reading a paper, and at the same time handing out bon bons to the children, and supplying them with jumping ropes and balls. As we gaze on this interesting spectacle we hear the children exclaim, "Mr. Train, Lizzie's got my ball!" "Mr. Train, Kitty's stole all my candy." The name of Train seems familiar to us, and yet we cannot recall it, so we step up to the gentleman who so benevolently deals out candy to the children, and commence our interview. "Beg pardon, is your name Train, sir—any relation of George Francis Train!" "That, sir, was my name in the olden time before I evolved," he replied, smilingly, and looking us full in the face with his large, expressive blue-gray eyes. "Before you what?" we asked, not quite catching his meaning. "Before I became passive. I, who before was so active; who held over a thousand conventions, and ran for the Presidency. But now, sir, I am passive, because the country has gone to the devil. She is like a yacht with all her sails set and at anchor. There, there, Lizzie, don't pull my hair; it hurts. They have contracted the currency, you see, to such an enormous extent, that they have run the country aground; and, sir, it's too late to do anything. The process of equalization is going on now. You see the hundreds of men sitting around in the parks and begging at the basement doors. They are happy, because the rich man has got to take care of them. Eighty men out of the hundred are paupers—the other twenty must take care of the rest. That's what I call equalization." "Let's sit down and talk it all over," suggested your correspondent. "Excuse me, I don't allow anybody to sit on this seat with me. I don't wish to be tapped. You see I have been tapped by the people to such an enormous extent, that I have shut down on it entirely. My vitality is enormous, as you see, but I wish to be safe." The California Insurance Company. This prominent firm fire and marine insurance company is now doing the sales and best business in its line in the state, or on its coast. Organized in 1851 under the title of the "California Mutual Marine Insurance Company," it successfully conducted the marine insurance business until August, 1904, when with increased capital it re-incorporated under its present name and entered the list of fire insurance companies. From its incipiency to the close of 1864 ten other local companies have either failed or closed up businesses and retired. During that time this company has paid its stockholders in dividends over $200,000, and has paid leases amounting to $1,000,000, and still has a large surplus on hand. It has on hand one dollar of assets for every seven dollars risks taken, while the average of our home companies in this respect is one dollar of assets to fifty of risks taken. This alone shows the superior soundness and good management of this sterling company. In their confidential letters to agents is a list comprising 33 classes of property upon which risks must not be taken at any price. More than $5,000 is also forbidden on anyone risk, and instruction given not to so place risks that any one fire would be likely to expose the company to more than that loss. That is several risks in one block aggregating more than $5,000 is discountenanced, if not actually forbidden. Acting upon such safe principles, instructing its agents to take no risk of any kind where the applicant's character is the subject of suspicion, officered by men of the highest financial moral and social standing, it is no wonder that they have outlived so many other local companies and command the patronage of the best class of lauriers—those who insure for safety, not for profit. The fact that the business of the company has been conducted on those principles is what has saved it from the fate of so many others as the result of the great fires of Chicago and Boston. Had they eagerly taken first-class risks there and placed them so closely as did many other companies, nothing could have saved the company from wreck in those fiery storms. Taking risks in large cities far apart any one fire cannot seriously affect a company on a sound basis. Having done our business with this company for the last six years, we can speak adversely of their manner, and have confidence in its safety, and have no hesitation in recommending it to the public for patronage. Its officers are no kid-glove gentry who delegate their powers and duties to others and lay off at the expense of the stockholders, but they may be jouled ever at their posts personally superintending and transacting the business entrusted to their care. The company's office is at 318 California street, San Francisco.—S. F. Fair Daily.

The bones of a mastodon have been exhumed on a farm in Pike, Wyoming county. The shoulder blade measures thirty-three inches across the end. The tusks measure ten and nine feet in length. In shape they are handsomely tapered. "Let's sit down and talk it all over," suggested your correspondent. "Excuse me, I don't allow anybody to sit on this seat with me. I don't wish to be tapped. You see I have been tapped by the people to such an enormous extent that I have shut down on it entirely. My vitality is enormous, as you see, but I wish to preserve my vitality and magnetism; that's the reason I don't go to any meetings or speak as I might at the Academy of Music at a dollar a head. If I did I should come into contact with a great mass of incongruous forces and should depreciate to my magnetism: in short, be tapped. You have had candy enough, my child; too much candy is dangerous at this time of the year. Do you observe how many people are sitting around here? How they are attracted about here by this great magnetic force that I possess?" Your correspondent was about to interrogate Mr. Train further, when a gentleman came up and extended his hand in the heartiest manner. "Excuse me, my dear sir, I don't shake hands with any one; I have not for two years. It's a singular evolution, but nevertheless so; and what's more, I have established the two-minute rule, and don't converse with any one over two minutes except these children. I have become as a little child, and learn wisdom from them. Grown up people know little or nothing, and will not learn anything. I told them years ago that they would drive the country into bankruptcy, and now they must come to me to get out of it. The children would elect me president to-morrow if they could. Want more candy, Kitty? But I have evolved, and intend to stay so. This park is getting too much for me; people come around and tap me." Here Mr. Train began suddenly to read, and your correspondent concluded that the two minute rule was in force, and that the time was up for conversing. If Mr. Train can be compared to any one as he sits in the park bare-headed and surrounded by children, he is to be compared to Victor Hugo in his festival with the children at d'Hauteville House, on the beautiful Isle of Guernsey, and his passive bronzed features, elegant ambirosal curls and fine gestures stamp him at once as a distinguished personage. Every evening he may be seen in his accustomed seat surrounded by a crowd of children, and hardly a month passes that some gentleman does not stop and gain some novel and refreshing news on the situation. Kind and agreeable to all, his face beaming with smiles and his pockets overflowing with candy for the children and crumbs for the birds, Mr. Train is the picture of benevolence, good breeding and good nature.—Busy Bee, in the Cincinnati Inquirer.

The bones of a mastodon have been exhumed on a farm in Pike, Wyoming county. The shoulder blade measures thirty-three inches across the end. The tusks measure ten and nine feet in length. In shape they are handsomely tapered from the base (twenty-two inches circumference) to the tip, and form about five-eighths of a circle; they may be described by the tusk lying on the ground, the base elevated about a foot above, and the joint depressed the same distance below the surface; six teeth were found, two of which attached to a portion of the jawbone, measured twelve inches by four, working surface. The largest vertebra yet found measured nine inches from the centre of the spinal marrow, making a total width of eighteen inches, with spine attached, extending perpendicularly twenty inches. The hip and leg bone have not yet been found. Those best informed estimate the size of the animal at four times the height of the shoulder blade, and at six times its length, which makes it eleven feet high and sixteen and one-half long. The bones will, of course, be carefully preserved. The locality where they were found is covered by about two feet of peat, underlying which is a bed of marl (fresh water deposit) varying in thickness from a few inches to about eight feet. No bones or teeth were found more than ten or twelve inches below the surface of the marl. The Cap of Liberty.—After the death of Casar, we are told, in the Life of Oicere, that the conspirators marched out in a body, with a cap, as the ensign of liberty, carried before them on a spear. There was a medal struck on the occasion, with the same device, which is still extant. The thought, however, was not new. Saturnius, in his sedition, in 263, when he had possessed himself of the Capitol, exalted a cap on the top of a spear, as a token of liberty to all slaves who would join with him; and Marius used the same expedient to incite the slaves to take arms with him against Sylla. For slaves to wear the cap was a prize. In man would not good examples, they might hatch better habits. BANCROFT'S MUSIC ROOMS ORIGINAL AGENCY FOR THE WORLD-FAMED PRINCE Organ.
