Mra. Langtry, bowsTer, ia eqisl Io tha emergency. It is not even to bs hinted that the exclusive coart oircle which abe ao long adorned baa tnned to the worship of atianfa goddesses, aad base indeed would be the heart of anybody who ventured to braatha a suspicion of ancn a thiag. Still, Mra. Lug- tiya own court coat money to maintaia, aad perhaps it ia just sa well to extend the area of one's empire in good aeasoii. The fair oonqoeror having, perhaps, aatiated appw tendom with her beauty now pro p oaaa to offer it at, aay, half-price to lower tea thonsaoddem. She haa been imbued with tbe democratic notions which are now be- ginning to aatorate Engliab aociety, and thinks it high time that uie dear people had the satisfaction of Ksxin^ upon her matare charms. One would naturally infer that she would give pnblic exhibitions at some celeb- rated place of public entertainment, like Cbang, the Chinese giant, tbe Zulu familiea. or Tom Thumb, but society would scarcely aanction that, aiod, indeed, though such may eventually be the plan, it is at present a little more exclusive. Mrs. Langtry is going on tbe stsge. Brldee u tbe Breakfast Taole. There is no more trying time t: bnde and groom than to appear at breakfast. One morning this week, there were nineteen new- ly wedded husband's aad apooses distribut- ed among the prominent hotels. Just imagine Uie amount of sweetness concen- trated in those thirty.and-odd souls, snd all in one town I The hotel clerks can tell the newly-mated pairs at a glance, and a pecu- liar mark is affixed beside their names on tbe register which indicates that a bouquet of white rosea will ere long fiod its way to the bridal chamber. Tbea there is another method for assertainiog if it is not a fresh couple. The husband writea " Mr. Smith " with a bold hand, and then hesitate*. Tbe olerk could dash it off in a second, but the young man leans down and adJa ' and wife." Then he gazes admiringly to see how ' ' Smith and wife " looks on a book for public scrtitiny. Hs ia an inch taller, and feels that be has become a man of family, and is entitled to some recognition. But the trying ordeal comes with the entry into the hotel dioing-room. The bride blushes, and imsgines that every one in tbe room has his eyes upon her. Snch cooing and billing as goes on at tbe table 1 "L?t's be like old married folks," ahe whispers; but that will not de, and tbe more ahe triea to diaguiae herself the more does she convince folka that she is really juat what she is. Under one roof alone there were nine of these cooples last week, and the bndea at breakfast look- ed at each other like sisters for conaolatioo. It has been many a day since snch a swoop was made upon the national capital. There is alwaya a csuple on hand, but when nearly a lOTo meet it shows that business has picked up, and that the ministerial pocket- book is swelling. Some people attribute tbia marked increaae in donbliogup to the severity of the weather. Alexandra and ber DauKbtera. The Marquis Dn L.ao, says Tht Piagaro,* owns a atatuette of white marble by a cele- brated 8cul(,tor. It represents a lady of the court of Henry JI. Her frail and pliant fig- ure ia molded in a long brocade petticoat, slightly tarned up on one side, Uer bust is encased in a stiff waiat, loaded with pre- cious stones. The head ia delicate and noole, with a profile of the renaissance, and her fea- tures are cbieled aa finely as cameo. A cap adorned with streaming feathers hide a por- tion of ber hair. Such ia this statuette â€" a jewel become a woman â€" a little fairy â€" half object of art, half apparition. It is the por- trait of her royal highne.-s tha |;rincess of Wales by M. U Epinay.- An exquisite and truly royal image, represen'ing better than any other an almost supernatural beauty. Once descended from her pedestal the prin- cess becomes a gentle, kind yonns; woman, a cireful mother, and an unpretending, almost citi2en-like housewife. It is noticeable that when jeoplo seek to praise a princess they cell her citLzen-Iike, while in praise of an or- dinary citizen's wife they will say that she is a princess in manner. A blending of these two qualities, so vastly different from one an- other, is necessary to the real gentlewoman. She must be a princess in heart, in soul, in generou!i sentiments, in courage and in ap- pearance, and a bourgtoiu in hospitality, m tbe love of the fireside, in the care of her children, and in principles of wise economy. Every morning at 9 o clock the three daugh- teri of the princess of Wales take their mus- leasun. They have "mamma" waked up, who, a feW minutes later, appears in her dressing-gown and remains with them till the lesson is over. Kotbing interests the princess more than the education of ber daughters. In music she can fully appreciate their progress, being herself a consummate musician. Uer delicate, dreamy, thorough- ly Danish nature betrays itself in her touch. She dotes, above all, on the melodies of Chop- in and Schumann, and she piays them with wonderful talent. The three young princesses, Louise, Vic- toria and Maud, differ as greatly io character as in physiognomy. The eldest, Louise, baa the fine features and the grace of her mother; she is gentle, gay, and affable, in short, the Parisienne of the three. Victoria, the second daughter, is the image of her father. Sbe is prood, rather reserved, and atraches her- Be little to people. When ahe does grow fond of some one, however, her affection never warera. She unites to a thorough conscious- ness of ber own dignity a generous h- art, easily moved. Her inteUecr, wbich is great- ly developed, only renders her the more en- j^agins- The youngest sister, Princess Maud, can still be called a baby. She ia but 10 years of age. In appearance sbe bears a great likeness to her grandm'ther, the Queen. She is Rood-hearted,and at times even a little ser- ious. The private aparlments of the princess of Wales, both at Sandiingbam and at Marlbor- ough huuse, are fitted up completily m tbe French style. One would believe oneself trtfusported to a manaion in the Caampa Elysees. Scattered about everywhere (41 nlnsh-covercd tables are an infinity of knick- knacks, such aa small porce ain dogs, bird- cages with stuffed birds, figures in Dresden china, tiny flowerstands of France or Sevres, inkstands, blotters, knives, and what not, just as in the shops of Rne de la Paix, Tbe princess' writing paper comes from Paris, as well as her dressing tables and all tha Isteat fashionable baubles. Her different pieces of furniture are aurronnded by low rcre.-na, wbich, in many cases, she herstlf has embroi- dered. Marjy objecti in ivory, enamel, aiiver, and mother of pearl recall Prince "B-citie's " voyage to Indij. Frendship,grace,and kindneas â€" snoh ia the motto of that royal home, where Paris ia proud to occupy so large a apace. Tnrkisb Policy in Armenia. [From the London News.

Horaea ware ex- hibited ia the early part of tha thirteenth ceotnry that walkail aod daooed oa a rope, a trick that at the present day would be pronoonced impoaaible. The ropea wcra extremely large aad prcaaed into a triaaga- lar shape, and tbe horaea' feet ware provid- ed with shoes made of a similiar aabstaaoe. Othera were taught to lie dowa, while an ox with a trumpet in hia mouth woald atraddle hia back, making a most eooiieal and ludioroua sppearanoe as they marched around. In a Bodleian M.S. of tbe foar- teeoth oeota^ is an aoooant of horaea train- ed to combat. The animal ia r ap r aaeatedaa riaiog in tbe air and atriking at a abiald bald by the joculator, who, in torn, thrnata at him with a abort aword or dub, both keeping time, or regulated by aome moaioal instru- ment. In the Bodleian Library are found sketches of tumbling apes, Ac, taken ia Kngland in the same century aod in tha reign of Q leen Anne, scoordiog to the man- uacript, "a wild, hairy man waa exhibited at Charing Croaa that danced on a tight rope with a bslaaoe to masic He alao drank a elaaa of ale, took off hia hat, and amokcd his pipe like any other Christian." Prerioaa to that animal'a. appearaooe, the following letter appeared la the BUmJard of April 3, 1711, probably M^teoded aa an advertiae- menc: HoxoKCD Sir Having heard that tbia nation is a great enconragar of inganiuty, I have bronght witb me a rope dancer that waa caught in one of the woods belonging to tbe great Mogul. He is by birth a mon- key, but swings upon a rope, takes a pipe of tobacco, and drinka a glaaa of ale 1 ke any resaonable creature. He givea great tstis- faction to the quality, and if yon will make a subscription for him I will aend for a bro- ther of his out of Holland, that ia a very good tumbler, and also for another of the •ame family, whom I design for my " Merry Andrew," aa being a great mimic and the greatest droll in the country wheie be ia now. Later, trained mookeya were used in Lindon in a play called " The Expedition of Alexander the Oreat," and as the warrior pasaed through tbe various roads of Asia the animals appeared, dancing and throwing, themselve) from tree to tree m a moat na- tural nuuiner, while to tha infinite amuse- ment of the spectators and the mortal terror of the "noble army," shower* of manu- factured oocoanuts fell npon the stage. Drawings wbich are more than four hun- dred years old represent horses standing on their forelegs and beating time with Uieir hind ones on a drum held by tbe showman, and in 1612, at a grand court featival, Mo- aea Plnvmel. riding master to Louu XIII. of France, accompanied by nine gentlemen, went through a ballet dance on noraeback, executing leaps into the air and graceful re- turns that were wonderful in the extreme. The following is from a show bid in the time of Queen Anne " To be seen at the Ship npon great Towtr Hill, the finest taught horse in tbe wodd. He fetches and carries like a apauiel-llog. If you bide a glove, a handkerchief, .a door key, a pewter basin, or BO smsll a thing aa a silver twopence, he will seek about tbe room until he has found it, and will then briui it to his master. He will also tell the numoer of spots on a card and leap through a hoop, with a variety of other performances." Acsordiog to Strutt, these exhibitions led to the formation^of a regular oircua, and at that time tbe experiment was probably first tried io the form of a regular company. On this point he says "1 believe a modern species of exhibiticn was introdnoed to pub- lio notice abont forty yeira back, by a mai named Price, \rho diaplayed hia abilitiea at Doborey's, near Islington. Scon after, a CDmpetitor by the name of Sampson made his appearance, and he again waa succeeded by Astley. Tbe latter established a riding school near Westminster bridge, and has been a successful candidate for popular favor. These performances originally took place in the open air, and tbe apsctatora were expos- ed to the weather, which frequently proved unfavorable, ioterruptiog the show, and sometimes preventing it altogether. To remedy this, Astley erected akiud of amphi- theatre, completely covered, witb a ride in tbe middle for the display of horsemanship, and a stage in front, with scenes and other theatrical decorations. To his former diver tisements be then added tumbling, dancing, farcical operas, and pantominea. Tneinoceas he met with occasioned a rival professor of horsemanship named Hngbea, to build another theatre for similar performances not far distant, to which he gave the pompous title of ,the Koyal Circus. Hughes was un fortunate, and died some years back, but the circus haa paaaed into other hands, and the spectacles exhibited there in the present day 1800) are far more splendid than those of any other of tbe minor theatrea." In Calabria, and especially ia the oity of Lybaris, the people were noted for the skill they showed in tra'ning horses. This might truly be placed among the lost art sor tricks, for, though we have our trained studs now, we can in no wise educate them up to tbe standard of the ancients. The Lybrian hor- ses were si generally and thoroughly drilled and trained that tbe Crotoniana, when marching agaiiut them in time of war, pro- vided tbemselvea with pipes and muaical in- strument.' and so defeated the riders with incredible alanghter, as the horses, on hear- ing the notes, reared up aad attempted to co through the figures and dances they had been tanght, thus causing great coot osion, and nltimataly the defeat of their owner*. In olden tomes the bare, which ia now thought to bs ao untraotable and timid, was rendered ao lxld by oonstant training that in all the fetes and shows it held quite a prominent position and in a very old man- uscript found in the Harieian Library there ia an engra^ng whieb repreaenta a bare marching up and down, and beatiag a talwr to an admiring crowd of apcetatora.

The cost of patrolling the ooean highway wonld be inconsiderable in compariaon with the benefits that wonld be secured thereby. Part of it might be paid by a light tax on veaaela in the Atlantic trade, and the pay- ment of auch a tax wonld probably be more than balanced by the decreaae in ioanranc premiums which would follow. Wa are compelled yearly to send naval steamers on aimless oiuise* in order that the young student* of the Naval academy may learn practical seamanship. Were we to convert our practice ships mto patrol ships, the navy department would incur little addiCiond expense, and the safety of the ocean passage would be greatly increased. Married Maniacs- (Olasgow Heiald.) Sheriff Ba-c^ay, at Perth, baa just held an loauest under the prisons act on a man who had died in the lauatic ward of the general prison for Scotland. The evidence disclosed some eventful and very romantic phases of this man's life. He had been arraigned at a circuit court at Jedbu-gh for the crime of murder, but, on proof that he had been and stUl was instne, he was ordered to be de- tained in prison during tbe p easure of her majesty. He waa io 1865 tran»miited to the lunatic wards of tbe general prison. In 1875 he was ao far restored that, on medicd certiricat?8, be was raleastd on probation under an order of the secretary of state. He then took up his abode at Cdd»tream, of wh cb plice be was a naliva Soon alter his first commitment to tbe prisoa a woman in another county was also brought before a i"**."»,1«" ihMti-d alao with murder. She in like manner was found to be insane, and accordingly waa commitei to tbe gen- eral pnsoa The two had se^n each other withm 1,8 wall. She too, had so far leoovered as soon after his release she waa also net at liberty on a orobationary order. She wended her way to Coldstream, and th-ro the two IjMiatic murderers were wedded togeUier The man soon relapsed intoa sUte of funacy, and attempted to commit suicide, and there- fore was recommended to hU old quarters at Perth. At no lengthened interval the woman now his wife, also replased into Innancy and was sent back U the prison where her hus- b.nd had preceded her. He died from cin.-er m the itomach on the 9th of January la»r and was buried in tlie graveyard of the pis' on. The w.fe i* still an inm»t9 of the lunatic ward t tbe general prison.

" Bat don't yoa think Robbie looks well in thoaa large collars â€" his shoulders are so high f ' While the two mammas bent their heads over the book, Cousin Charley's voice coald be heard, althoogfa he spoke so low "The rain came down, trick- ling down the trunk of the hollow tree, and wet his bed. So Mister Wolf thought he wonld look around for bet- ter quarters." " Charley, don't make yourself too fascinating," said Aunt Jeanie " It is nearly eight o'clock." " Oh, Munma he's jnst in the best part 1" said Walter. " I'll give yon ten minntes. Can yon finish it in that time f ' The story was fioifhed in ten min- utes more, but Charley talked fast to ward the end of the time. The next morning, at five o'clock, all was quiet in Aunt Helen's room, the lamp waa unlit, the fire nnkindled, and a pale glimmer of moonlight shone through the curtain, for the moon had risen late and was making the moet of her time.

At the close of laat year there were in course of construction on tb- Clyde abont fifty ateamera of upward of and about 3,000 ton* each. Twenty years ago there were not half aa many ateamera of that size in the whole world. Tbe fow that did exist were looked upon as marine cnriodties. Among the steamers on the stocks in the Scotch yards are one of 8,SO0 tons, one of 7.000 ton*, one of 6,250 tons, one of 6,500 tons, and two of 5,000 ton* each. These are all deeigned for the transatlaatic s'eam- ship companies, and are double and three times the size of tbe visaela in uae not Ion jer ago than fifteen year?. The Great Eaatem, it ia true, waa launch- ed in 1858, and waa lar%er than any of these steamers, but *he wa rather a phenomenon than a atep in tbe ordrrly progreas of naval architeciure. For the pnrpora for which she wss built, t^ose of a great freight and paaaenger steamer for lon{ voyages, the Great Eastern proved lufit, and her con- atroction bro'ght havy financial loaa on her builders. It was only the development of ocean telegraphy that gave her a chance op).ortunity which saved tho hui^ship from complete failure as a nseful vesseL Now, however, we find the ocean steamers eveiy year increasing in I'ize, and imme- diately going into act ve service. The new Conani steamer, tha Servia, for in-tnce, will bo O' 8,500 ton if «e toke the Custom House mi-isurement, but of about 11, (XX) ti'Usof actual weight when loaded for sea. 8ie theref re approaches the Great Eastern in aizd but, im^ike her, will be a vaasel thoroughly adwted to the severe and steady nie requ led of an ocean s' e m r on one of the great Atlantic lines, and tinUke her, ahe recreeenta in'her construction the latest ad- vantes in practical marine architecture. Steamers of a tonnage qual to that of the St-rvia will hereafte m common on the great- eat of our ocean highway, ttut bet een New York and Liverpool They have been ren- dered poaaible by the introduction of the screw propel 'er. and by the aucceaa of tbe oompoond engines. These two improvearents have revolutionised the carrying trade of the world. It is now done by the steamers ra- ther than tbe sailing ship'iinpon which ateam moat more and more enc oach U(.til it con- trol* all but a very imall part of commerce. Already three-quart rsof .he marohant marine of Europe are steamers, and the Elaropean natioiM generally are rapidly increaaing tbeir com'iicrcial navies in the tame directioa.
