The anuual meeting of tho V ietoria
Philosophical Institute was hold in
London, June 8 h, the Karl of Sbaf'cs

were u large num er of en-ineut persons
present, among tl cui Dr. Deems, form
erly of North Carolina, now ol tho
Church of the Strangers, New York,
wio is t aveling in Europe
I)r Deems (who, on r sing to speak,
wnv a once r-quested by the Earl of
8 aftcshury to couie on to the raised
dniu by the president's ohaii) begin his
speech by urging the great value of the
work of the society, winch now num
bered its supporters in every part of the
globe, whether in America or any other
part of the world, would strengthen its
hands by joining as members, lie then
•poke of the high value of tho people's
edition, of its more popular papers, ns
enabling the society to place the results
of its labors in the bauds of the masses >
"and now," said l>r Deems, "I hope I
s' all, as an Auieiicuu, uot frighten an
English audience by being th ught to
do a very strange thing, i don't know,
hut the faot is, I am going to ta-k about

his name being associated with every

do the Muster's work, to whiah he has
devoted his life " [I 1 reat cheering] It
would be impossible to deserib-. tho
masterly speech and maimer of 'Dr

was the directness a d simplicity about

Stonewall J >kson'a flag
At tho flag room of the War Depart
tnent, a few days since, three men called,
and 'Do of them asked to see the corps
fl ig ol General Stonewall Jackson. It
was handed to him In silence he held
it for some time, then on his knees he
carefully spread it on the fluoi. When
one of his friends askeu him what he
wua doing, ho answered, tears streaming
froui his eyes: "Can't the father look
at the son, or the son at hit father 1
This flag uiy father held when be fell
upon the battl fit Id ; this flag my brother
held—he, too, died ; I also carried it !"
whereupon he raised his hands to Heav
en and poured out a most fervent prayer
His friends hnd hard work to eet him to
give up the flag, but when rolling it up
(it was so worn) a small piece tell out,
the officer in charge picked up the pieoe
and gave it to tho man, nnd he departed.
It was a small net, yet as the officer in
oharge was an ex Union soldier it showed
a noble I'oeliug. and how one soldier oan
appreciate tbe reverential love for a bit
of bunting showed by another, even
w' en fighting on opposite aide*. —

after the steed is stolen They are liku

They are no more worth than an old al

theui away i.s you would tho aluianae,

take out the full value of it ; they won't
die, though they arc of no use alive
Take it easy sod Live lonp nrc first eons

If they are immortal till their work is

These alow coaches think that to-mor
r A is better thau to-day, aud take lor
their rule an old proverb turued topsy
-1 turvy —••Never do to-day what you ean
put off till to morrow." They are forever
waiting till their snip oouiee home, and
always d'Cauiing about things looking up
by and by ; while grass grows iu toeii
lurrows aud the cows get through tbe
g«ps in their hedges If the birds would
but wait to have salt put on their tails
what u breakfast they would take home
to their families ! but while things move
as fast as they do, the youngsters at home
«il have to fill their months with empty
s; o 'US. "Nitfer uiind," say they, '-there
are hotter l.mos oojiiog, wait a little

and rare fat ones they are, according to
their aooouot ; and so they need to be,
f>r they have had none in the hand as
yet, and wife and children are half
starved Something will turn up, they,
say; why don't the stupids go and turn

"He that vill not when lie may,
When he will lie shall have nay."
Tiuie is not tied to a post, like a horse to
a manger; it pas.eth like the wiud, and
he wbo would grind his ooru by it must
set the mill sails. He that gapes till he
be led, will gapo till he be dead. No'.h

poverty and dirt In the old days they
said, ' Jack gets on by his stupidity ;"
Jack would find it vory different oowa
days, I think; but never tniud old times,
or any other times, would Jack get on
i by foolishly letting present jhances slip
by him ; for hares never run into tho
mouths of sleeping dogs. He that hath

There's no good in lying down and crying

Two Giants aud a Lwurf.
Three of the uiost reuinrkable men of
tho coulury arc now on exhibition in
Loudon al the Hoyal Aijuar um —the
giant Chang, a tea merchant of I'ekin ;
Urtistad. a tall Norwegian; und Cle
L-iab, described as "the Clni e-e dwarf,
the smallest nmn in the world " Chang
is the largest giant in existence, stands 8
feet 2 itiei os, nnd is highly edu irted,
speaking five different languages, inclu
ding Kngiish, which lie speaks very
well, bu with the well known sit.g song

a span of 8 leet with his I'utsln tehed
arm', and signs his u&tne without au e-

high Chang is li 3 yeurs of age, and t
is about fi'tecu years sin>-e he. was iu
Kngland After five years' rts dencc in
the Celestial Kuipire he htturued to
Kurope for the l'aris Exhibition, and
has since vit-ited Vienna (where the Km"
peror gave him a ring he pn udly tihib
its, marked with the imperial eagles and
tbe initials of Francis Joseph). Berlin
and Hamburg. .Since his last residence
io this country Chang has grown six
inches He has a benevolent Mongolian
face, a courtly manner, and wears a rich
ly embroidered dress worked for him by
his sister, wbo is, like the rtst of bis
family, of only ordinary stature.
Neat to Chang, aud next by oo long
intervals, stands Hrustad, abont 7 feet
9 iuel-cs high, very muscular, very broad
baok, having as great a girth of chest as
Chang, and a wider snau in prop'-rtion
to his hetg'it. Uo has a low forehead,
but 9peaxs English faiily well. liiu>lad
has also a ring which he greatly deiights
in exhibiting. He presented il to him
self out of tho profits, it is supposed)
gained by being shown It is i] ounces
in weight, and a p nny goes easily
through it. To grasp his mighty baud
in greoiing is liko shaking hands with
an oak tree, nis weight is 28 stone,
greater than Chang's, for his bones are
more massive. His age is 35
Che-uiiih, the dwarf, gives his ngc at
42, sings a Chinese elegy, describes him
self with much fluency aud variety,sud,
as his height is only 25 inches, appears
to be what he is descrioed, the smallest
man in lhe world It is couimou for
exhibited dwarls to be over three feet
high. Sir Geoffrey Hudson, tbo dwarf
whom readers of Sir W -Iter S'tott- will
, best remember, measured 8 feet 9 inches
; when bu had attaiued his full stutuie.
