Detroit Currency. In Gen. Crook could only overtake Sitting Bull, and S. B. wouldn't fight, a glorious victory would be won. San Francisco is going to build an opera house worth one million dollars. The poor ye always have with you. An old Massachusetts house, torn down the other day, contained 200 empty paragoric bottles, but the children were all dead. "All's same as boss with his hind legs," is what a Nevada Chinaman thinks of a mule. He keeps in front of them as much as he can. There isn't a solitary Jenkins in Jenkidstown, Pennsylvania, and there's another great scientific problem for some one to grapple with. Time makes all things even. If it didn't, a Galveston merchant wouldn't have received that letter which had been eleven years on the road. It costs but fifty dollars to go up in a balloon and get married, yet dozens of girls are willing to have the knot tied in an old white meeting-house. The Treasury clerks think seven hours per day is just killing work. Multiply it by two and you get what journalists call a short day's work for slim pay. Only one hundred and seven new newspapers were established in America last month, and as long as the number doesn't go over 6,000 per year, each paper can be certain of fifteen or twenty subscribers. "Let us continue our worship by listening to a piece of sweet music performed by the operatic quartette, who have been secured regardless of expense," the pastor of a New York up-town church might say. The world does advance. Twenty years ago no one had heard of a table napkin. At the present time many men sit at a table and not only use them as mouth-wipers, but make them hide a soiled shirt-bosom. According to the Buffalo Courier a Boston man is responsible for the following: At Long Branch; Rena Runner reads really rhetorically, realizing rousing receptions. Rena's refined realistic renditions readily receive reasonable remuneration. The New York man who bought a pair of pants, and quarreled with his wife the whole of Sunday for dropping a speck of grease upon them, tore them from thigh to knee on Monday morning while The Pride of a Cow. Many animals show vanity; indeed, few of the feathered creation are there that don't show the appreciation of their own good looks, and doubtless they compassionate correspondingly their less showy neighbors. Jealousy is a very prevailing passion In animals, particularly in such as have been accustomed to be petted and carressed; for considering these tokens as their exclusive right, they show serious displeasure when their owners bestow any mark of attention toward other creatures. This is habitual to parrots, which scream with rage and attempt to fly at the individual whom the person they are attached to may happen to caress; and should the attention be shown to one of their own species, their anger knows no bounds. One, in the author's possession, deliberately left its perch on such an occasion, and ascending that of its smaller rival, destroyed it before assistance could arrive, and screamed and crowed with exultation. Monkeys are also extremely jealous of each other as well as of individuals; an orang-outang in Paris, when ill and lying on the knees of its keeper, would allow no one and particularly children to approach him. But pride is not so commonly displayed. A gentleman traveling in England had a letter of introduction to a person of some distinction whose whole estate was in excellent keeping. Among other fine animals shown him was a fine white cow, and this creature, he was told, was the very personification of pride. As though she considered herself of pure blue blood, she claimed precedence in all cases; she always went ahead of the herd, the best bit of pasture was her exclusive domain, on which no other durfs intrude. So far did she carry her pretensions, that if any of the other cows entered the stable before her, she would refuse to enter. Anxious to see this with his own eyes, he desired to be taken to her stable at evening. The man, instructed how to act, drove in some of the other cows. The white cow drew up; not only did she refuse to advance, in spite of all encouraging words, but her whole frame swelled with anger and offended dignity. She kept lowing continually. At last, the cows within, as though conscious that they had forgotten their place, began to come out, and as they were driven out, the proud white, with an evident air of gratified pride, strode in in At the present time many men sit at a table and not only use them as mouth-wipers, but make them hide a soiled shirt-bosom.

A prudent rich woman has brought up her accomplished and beautiful daughters to do washing and ironing. When questioned, she replies: "Oh! it is always well to be prepared for any contingency. Perhaps some of the poor children may marry an Italian count." The tug Goldsmith Maid, of Chicago, is engaged in searching for a vessel sunk thirty years ago in Lake Erie with a cargo of whisky on board. The services of Capt. Peter Faleon, a well-known marine diver of Chicago, have been secured. If a Chicago diver can't find it, there's no use in any one else looking for it. Mrs. Nash, of Jamaica, West Indies, lectured the other day at the Centennial on the products of that island. Hundreds of rednosed men who surrounded the platform, evidently supposing that samples were to be passed around free, went away disappointed.—New York Commercial Advertiser. Says the Norristown Herald: Washington is evidently the most unhealthy city in the United States. A man is no sooner appointed to a seat in the Cabinet, or to some other official position in that city, where the pay is big and the work light, than we read that he has left Washington for a trip North or South, "for the benefit of his health," though we never hear of the Washington editors leaving for the benefit of their health. Grants to the Royal Family. The following items, compiled from the Hassard, give additional illustration of the cost of royalty. Republicans who are in a grumbling mood toward their own government may read them with profit: At the marriage of her Majesty, Lord Melbourne's Government proposed a vote of £50,000 per annum for Prince Albert, but the tories succeeded in reducing it to £30,000, and this continued until the Prince's death in 1861. It would have been a graceful act to compromise the matter by making the amount £40,000, but this was not done, and with the smallest of the three sums the Prince had to be content. In 1857, a dowry of £40,000 and an annuity of £8,000 were granted to the Princess Royal; in 1862, a dowry of £30,000 and an annuity of £6,000 to the Princess Alice; in 1863, an annuity of £40,000 to the Prince of Wales, and one of £10,000 to the Princess; in 1866, an annuity of £15,000 to the Duke of Edinburgh, with a dowry of £30,000, and an annuity of £6,000 to the Princess Helena; in 1871, an annuity of £15,000 to the Duke of Cornwall with a dowry of £30,000. Anxious to see this with his own eyes, he desired to be taken to her stable at evening. The man, instructed how to act, drove in some of the other cows. The white cow drew up; not only did she refuse to advance, in spite of all encouraging words, but her whole frame swelled with anger and offended dignity. She kept lowing continually. At last, the cows within, as though conscious that they had forgotten their place, began to come out, and, as they were driven out, the proud white, with an evident air of gratified pride, strode in state. It is almost impossible to convey the impression produced by this exhibition of downright pride. Hidalgo pride, in what many would call a dumb brute.—Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly. The Greek Bed. There is no form of bedstead, from the four-poster to the French, which may not be found described by writers or represented in works of art. Ulysses manufactured one for himself of olive wood, inlaid with gold and ivory. The bed rested sometimes on boards laid across the frame, on thongs of ox-hide stretched over one another, or on a netting of cord. Plato speaks of bedsteads made of solid silver; Athenaeus describes them as made of ivory and embossed with beautifully wrought figures, and Lucian has them veneered with Indian tortoise shell inlaid with gold. In Thessaly, beds were stuffed with fine grass. According to Athenaeus, effeminate gentlemen sometimes slept on beds of sponge. Fashionable people in Athens slept under coverlets of dressed peacock skins, with the feathers on. Clearchus, the author of a treatise on sleep, describes the bed of a Paphiian prince in such a way that one can hardly keep his eyes open while reading of it. "Over the soft mattresses, supported by a silver-footed bedstead, was lung a short-grained Sardinian carpet of the most expensive kind. A coverlet of downy texture succeeded, and upon this was cast a costly counterpane of Amorginian purple. Cushions variegated with the richest purple supported his head, while two soft Dorlan pillows of pale pink gently raised his feet." One of the greatest improvements introduced by the Greeks into the art of sleeping was the practice of undressing before going to bed—a thing unheard of until bit upon by their inventive genius. Bed coverings were often perfumed with fragrant essences from the East. Counterpanes were not only perfumed, but embroidered with figures of animals and men. THE MAN IN THE DORY.—The "log" of Capt. Johnsen, the hardy and brave English sailor who left Gloucester harbor in a little one-masted, flat-bottom, centreboard craft, for Liverpool, on the 18th of June, is at length given from the English papers. He arrived out in safety on the 21st of August. Once he was capsized in a heavy sea during a gale, though he had previously hove and unshipped the mast. The craft got broadside on a big sea and went over, upside down. He got on the bottom and stuck there for twenty minutes when another sea struck her and righted her again. This was in the middle of the afternoon. Just after getting into his stable before her, she would refuse to enter. Anxious to see this with his own eyes, he desired to be taken to her stable at evening. The man, instructed how to act, drove in some of the other cows. The white cow drew up; not only did she refuse to advance, in spite of all encouraging words, but her whole frame swelled with anger and offended dignity. She kept lowing continually. At last,the cows within, as though conscious that they had forgotten their place,began to come out,and as they were driven out,the proud white,以 an evident air of gratified pride，strode in state.

He was dined at "the mess," and there happened to be present a fire-eating, quarrelsome man, who had been involved in many affairs of honor. Dick, who had all the pluck of a son of Erin, and who had listened patiently to this oracle laying down the law, thought he would cause a laugh at his expense; so, suddenly turning to him, he quietly said: "I saw a man to-day who would give any sum of money he possessed to kick you." "Kick me! kick me!" I call upon you to name him," at the same time turning livid with rage. "Oh, bedad, I'll not tell you," replied his tormentor. "I insist upon knowing," interrupted the angry man. "Well, if you wish to know, but it must not go further, the man was——" "Who? who?" "Ah, don't be in a hurry; the man was Billy Water, who goes about in a bowl, because, why, he has not any legs, and, by the powers, would give all he has to be able to kick any one." Scribner's. This is the time when people resolve to get up and take long healthful morning walks, and lay in bed till eight o'clock contemplating the beauty of it—Easton Free Press. A Chinese Fashion. Elbowing our way into the throng of spectators we manage to gain a view of what is going on within. Upon a low trestle stands a richly mounted coffin, made in the same manner and like what are used by the American people, with the exception of the silver plate on the lid, which is engraved with Chinese instead of English characters. Around this coffin little wax candles, blue and red, called "joss sticks," and sticks of incense supported by little sticks of rattan stuck in the ground or planking are burning. Beside the coffin is a long table, covered with a white cloth, that is fairly groaning with the weight it supports of materials for a Chinese feast. In the centre is a platter on which rests a hog roasted alive, and on either side flanked by a chicken and duck cooked in the same manner. At the other end of the table is a sheep roasted whole, fancifully adorned with bright colored tinsel paper, and scattered over the table are dishes of rice, vegetables, sauces and condiments. The priest, a tall young Chinaman, stands at the head of the table and directs the ceremonies. His dress is a robe of simple unbleached white common sheeting with a strip of the same material bound around his head. Four assistants, clad in the same manner, are ranged along the coffin. Every few minutes they kneel to the ground, touch their forehead to the dust and give vent to their grief in long-drawn, hideous, piercing wail, all in unison, chanting at the same time, while half a dozen Chinamen keep time on hideous sounding instruments. When the mourners get off an unusually piercing shriek or wail, the clarionets, gongs and one-stringed fiddles in the hands of the musicians clang louder and more furiously than ever, and the very pavement seems to shake beneath us. Chinese women dressed in silks and satins, with painted faces and beautifully penciled eyebrows, look on the scene and laugh and chatter like parrots. Chinamen, dressed in holiday attire, stand around smoking cigars, smiling and viewing the scene with serene satisfaction. Questioning a Chinaman who is standing by us we learn it is the funeral of HI Kong, a wealthy Chinese merchant. His disease was consumption brought on by a too ardent use of opium, which, by the way, is a death common to the Celestials. This noise, lamenting and chinching over the coffin is kept up from one-half to two hours, or until the modern conveyances. Among the more complex departments of the Mechanics' Fair, indicating the advancement of mechanical art and genius, and the luxurious tastes and requirements of the period, the display of carriages is probably the most extensive, varied and costly, occupying a large division of the main floor on the west side of the Pavilion, and constituting a fair itself of goodly proportions and superior attractions. The leading exhibitors are H. M. Black & Co., carriage dealers and manufacturers, whose spacious salerooms are located at Nos. 851, 853 and 855 Market street. F. In latter times fashion seems to be as progressive and arbitrary in the line of carriages as in any other field, and if a few of the old Connecticut one-horse shags and family coaches of our aristocratic sires should be placed in comparison with the splendid equipages at present in vogue, they would be esteemed the most antique and interesting relics that the Centennial year has brought forth. Measures Black & Co. aspire to the distinction of keeping pace with the fashion, and the large and varied stock they at present offer for inspection embraces the most recent innovations in carriage styles, both European and American. Among the magnificent vehicles exhibit at the Pavilion are the newest styles of French and English family carriage, landau, charlottee, coupe, etc., which are the embodiment of elegance in pattern, upholstering and exterior finish—either one worthy to bear the decoration of a dugal crest. A superb pack, for public service, attracts unbounded admiration, even in San Francisco, which is noted for fine conveyances of the class, and as a model carriage is doubtless unsurpassed in any city of the world. The Jehu who mounts the box of this establishment will be a veritable god among his fellows and the chosen of fastidious hack patrons. In single buggies and light turn-out Messrs. Black & Co. exhibit a great variety of styles adapted to any required service. The most novel specimen at the Pavilion is a single scarfbuggy, apparently as light and easy-running as a nursery perambulator, but none less strong and durable in construction. The box and upholstery are lavender tint, set off with black, and the running gear is the plain, unvarnished hickory and steel. It is the precise thing for an animated spin over the Cliff House road. A recent triumph of the firm in a special line was the manufacture of an elegant delivery wagon for J. J. O'Brien & Co., proprietors of the Arcade, on Market street, and which would have proved an attractive feature of the display at the Pavilion; but it is presumed that this enterprising dry goods house had a more practical utility for the establishment than the gratification of curiosity, as it has already been put in commission.

Custis, in a letter to the Frederick (Va.) Examiner, dated Arlington House, August 18th, 1857, wrote: "In regard to Washington, as Marshal of France, I have in this house proof as strong as holy writ, in an engraving of Napier of Merchistoun, the celebrated inventor of the Logarithms, which was presented to Washington by the Earl of Buchan, a relative of the philosopher, with the endorsement in the handwriting of the Earl: 'To Marshal General Washington with the respects of Buchan.' Now Buchan lived in the age of the Revolution, and was the associate of Courts, and certainly would not have addressed to one he so loved and admired as he did the Chief, a title to which the Chief had no claim. Lord Napier, on a visit to the Arlington House, was greatly gratified by a sight of a reminiscence of his ancestor treasured among the relics of Washington: The history of the title, a Marshal of France, is simply this: When, in 1781, Col. Laurens went to France as special ambassador, a difficulty arose between him and the French Minister as to the command of the combined armies in America. Our heroic Laurens said, 'Our Chief must command; it is our cause, and the battle is on our soil.' 'Cest impossible,' exclaimed the Frenchman; 'by the etiquette of the French service, the Count de Rochambeau, being an old Lieutenant-General, can only be commanded by the king in person, or a Mareschal de France.' Then,’ exclaimed Laurens, ‘make our Washington a Mareschal de France, and the difficulty is at an end.’ It was done. A friend of mine heard Washington spoken of as Monsieur le Mareschal, at the siege of Yorktown. Our beloved Washington never coveted or desired rank or title; but it is beyond a doubt that, from us Chinese women dressed in silks and satins, with painted faces and beautiful pencil eyebrows, look on the scene and laugh and chatter like parrots.

This feast forms the most important feature of the funeral, while the richer and more honored the dead departed was in this life—the greater and more varied the dishes or the banquet board. At the funeral of a rich tea merchant who did business on Commercial Street once saw an ox roasted whole as one feature of the banquet. Such instances however, are not met with every day. The poorer classes of the Chinese cannot at times afford any feast at all, and whigh such is the case the mourners are few, and the sooner the dead man is out of the way the better.—San Francisco correspondence of Detroit Free Press.

Certain leaf-nosed bats of South America go by the formidable names of vampires, from their relicted blood-sucking habits. Although such a habit could only have been attributed erroneously to the entire group, one certain kind of this group is very truly blood-sucking, and its organization is peculiarly and very strikingly modified to efficiently subserve this function. The bat in question is called Desmodus, and the truth as to its blood-sucking habit has been fully established by the testimony of Mr. Darwin. He tells us: "The vampire-bat is often the cause of much trouble, by biting the horses on their withers. The injury is generally not so much owing to the loss of blood as to the inflammation which the pressure of the saddle afterward produces. The whole circumstance having been lately doubted in England, I was therefore fortunate in being present when one (Desmodus d'Orbigny) was actually caught on a horse's back. We were bivonacking late one evening near Coquimbo in Chili, when my servant, noticing that one of the horses was very restive, went to see what was the matter, and, fancying he could distinguish something suddenly put his hand on the beast's withers, and secured the vampire. In the morning the spot where the bite had been inflicted was easily distinguished from being swollen and bloody. The third day afterward we rode the horse without any ill effects."—Popular Science Monthly. The Turks have possessed Constantinople more than 400 years.
