Bis Mtjfstjf —Onoe the customs and trappiugs
of kingly governments, or despotLiina, as we then
characterised them, were peculiarly ofiensive to
republioan notions and tastes. It some monarch
had traveled through our country with a retin-ae
of retainers, and a body guard of cavalry, tho
American peopl*» would have been so supremely
difl^ustvd and offended, that his majesty would
have been ip danger of mobs. It is even ouen-
tionablo whether, without an army at hia back,
Buch sovereign could have made tbe tour of the
U. States IQ safety. But what do we sec nowf
Go at six o’clock P- M., on any day io tbe week,
Suntiay.s not excepted, to the north of tho Prc»t-
dentiaI,mansio^,*nd there you will see a troop ot
cavalry 4r^f^,np in front of the northern door,
e^dently a^vSting some^hing. Presently a tail,
.ungainly ibrm ^pearp, the troop goes tbrougb a
salate, a charger siao^ Toad^ aaddled^ Ihe un
gainly cavalier mounts the chargor, an officer in
full uniform, bespangled with gold, a general is
evidently at his side, the two ride off, the troop
remains stationary a respectful moment, return
: their sabres to their scabbards scientifically, and
gallop after tbe general and the tall chieftain.
And who do the people suppose thus emerges
from the Presidential Mansion ? Some foreign
potentate, or ambassador, or general of the army
who had called with his staff to pay a passing re
spect to the President of the United States? No:
none other than Abraham Lincoln! And thin
is his body guard! And this every day!
“K^ublican, proud America!” exclaimed the
great Irish orator Philips, when contemplating
pure character and plain honesty of Qeorge Wash
ington, and his simple, unostentatious manners in
his offickl position as President of the United
States. “Ahis! how are the mighty fallenl”
The words of Philips, uttered now, import not
eulogy but sarcasm.—Const. L'uion.
The Hun.—Mr. Alvin Clark has inetitnted a
series of experiments to determine the compara
tive light of the sun and stars, and finds that the
former would be vbible as a star of the sixth
magnitude if it were removed to 1,200,000 times
its present distance- If the distances, ascribed
to several of the stars, as obtained from parallax,
be true, our glorious luminary can only be reck
oned among the very small stars.
The astronomer Verrier, has discovered an er>
ror in the sun’s parallax, as stated by Eccke, and
hitherto followed by astronomers. Instead of
.57 seconds, it is really 8.95 seconds. As the
parallax, together with the earth’s semi-diameter,
is the basis on which the earth’s distance from
tha sun is calculated, a chango :.n the parallax
must be attended by a change in .he figures ex
pressive of the sun’s distance from us. Thus,
the sun, instead of being 95,000,000 of miles
from us, is, in reality, distant only 91,328,000
miles. The veUcity of Ught^ the distances and
sizes of the heavenly bodies, &o., being caloolated
by comparison with the earth’s diatance from the
sun, must also be changed correspondingly. Thus
Hgbt'trarelH 183,470 miles per aeoond, ineteed
nearly 192,000, as heretofore supposed. The
sun’s diameter must be reduced .38,000 miles.
The distance ot the planet Neptune from the
sun is less by 122,000,000 of miles.

Cinderella'» Slipper.—The Dublin University
Magazme gives the following account of the glass
slipper:
Two centuries ago, furs were so rare, and there
fore so highly valued, that the wearing of them
was restricted, by severe sumptuary laws, to kings
and princes. Sable, in those laws called vair, was
the subject of countless regulations. The exact
quality permitted to be worn by persons of differ
ent grades, and the articles of dress to which it
might be applied, were defined most strictly.
Perrault’s tale of “Cinderella” originally mark^
the dignity conferred on her by the fairy, by her
wearing a nlipper of vair, a privilege then confin
ed to the high^t rank of princesses. An error
of the press, now become inveterate, changed vair
into verre, (glass,) and the slipper of sable was
suddenly convert^ into a glass slipper.”
A Wonderful Fl'rnt.—One of the most singular
productions has been discovered in the Damftra
country in Africa. The plant grows to be a cen
tury old, and its trunk attains a circumference oi
14 feet, yet never produces more than two leaves,
and these, singularly enough, are the first or seed
leaves of the plant. Imagine the loaves of a melon
to keep on growing and spreading over the* soil
until they reach th^e length of six feet each, and
some idoa can be formed «f this vegetable wonder.
These two leaves, which are split into innumerable
things that lie curling upon the surface of the soil,
are all the foliage the plant ever produces. The
plant inhabits the dry regions, where rain rarely
or never fails, and has no need of a large surface
or foliage. Flower stems spring from the large
trunk, and produce cones about the size of those
of the spruce fir. This strange plant is allied to
the pine family.
Monkei/s.—A recent English work on Natural
History contains the following:
The small pox having spre^ fearfully amongst
the monkejB of South America, Dr. Pinckard,
Secretary to the Bloomsbury Street Vaccination
Society, was struck by the idea of arresting its
further proCTCSs. Vaccination was, of course,
the means of staying the plague, and his scheme
for the introduction was singularly ingenious.
He bound two or three boys hand and foot, and
then vaocinated them in the presence of an old
monkey, #ho was observed to be closely attentive
to the proceedings, lie then left a young mon
key, with some matter on the table, and beside a
lancet, gaarded, that it might not cut too deep, by
a projecting piece of steel. The Doctor witnessed
the result from a neighboring room; the old mon
key thrust the young one down, bound him with
out delay, and vaccinated him with all the skill
of a professor.
Who’ll Try it.—To prevent steers from jump
ing fences, clip off the eye lashes of the under lids
with a pair ot scissors, and the ability or disposi
tion to j ump is effectually destroyed, as Sampson’s
power was by the loss of his looks* The animal
will not attempt a fcnce until the eye-lashes are
grown again. A yankee stock raiser recommend
ed thi“ siagnlar remedy to the Farmer’s Club at
New York.
