The following antiquated order, issued
by the late King Frederick Wilhelm, was
lately published by a Madgeburg paper:
"It has come to my knowledge that evert
officials lately have taken part in the
present alNrnling tailway speculations,
and. by signing hoods and buying cerlifi?
cates and shares in railway projects have
assumed obligations which often are fir
above their means. As such proceedings
show a state of recklessness which, is
dangerous to the respect in which the
rank of officials ought to be held and
which is incompatible with the interest
of-tlnr state service, 1 hereby order that
such swindling bnt-iin-f-s on the part of
officials shall be punched like gumbling
and debt-contracling according to the
lawof March 29 of thi year. The
chief's of departments nio to inform the
officials of my dtteimiuatinn, in the most
strictly private manner."
bome time since a lady happened to
sec in the street of London a monkey
begging pence from the public in w
prettiest manner for the l iutit of his
master, an organ grinder. She took a
fancy to it, bought it, dressed it in' the
gaudiest ot raiment, and at a fashionable
reception her pet was the wonder of the
room. In the course of the evening . a
young lady sat down at ike piano, and
sang with exquisite taste a little drawing-
rooin song. As soon as she nan iiiiislteq,
the monkey, who had not forgotten his
former dujjeseiaing a hat, lo the amuse
ment of everylody, went the rounds and
collected a large sum. His task ended
he jumped upon the knee of the singer
amid shouts of laughter, and deposited
the contents of hit hat iu the ladyV l ip.
The collection was devoted to a charitable
fund.
Those persons who began to cat large
quantities of tijdi a few year ago, and

without having expi-iienced the desired
increase of intellectual capacity, may
thank the New Orleans Jicpublican for
this explanation : ''Unless a man has
brains, it is useless for him to eat brain
food. It has never been claimed for
fish that it cieates, it ouly strengthens
the brains."

RELIGIOUS FANATICISM.

To the sooth of Saguache, about fifteen
miles, 'there is a large settlement of Mex

inhabitants am engaged in stock herding

Mayor BarkiTp of Denver, your correg

witness this strange performance. We
arrived at Mr. Royal's ranch at 1 p. m.,
and, after a hasty lunch, repaired to the
sceue which was taking place about a
mile up the creek from his house, and
immediately back of Itu ranch. We
were informed by Mr. Iloyal that the tun
had ! just Commenced, and were in time.
Four! heavy, wooden crosses, -about fif
teen fret high, had been erected at inter
vals pf 800 feet each, with one exception,
bearing a Latin inscription.
I On the first cross was this legend

penitent, divided up into groups of four,
and six attendants in each tiro up. hach
penitent, with two exceptions, wore
black mask or sack drawn- rompletely
over the head aud fastened about the
neck. The other two wore red marks.
Whether the difference of color iu I he
masks represented a different degree of
crime or not we failed to ascertain. The
leader of each baud cairied somethiu
resbmblin' a watchman's rattle. II
was followed by another attendant playing
a small reed nute. 1 lie other four at
teudants chanted, in a low, monotonous
tone some Snaui?h words that we could
not understand. Aside from the mask
the penitents wore nothing but a pair o
tho thinnest kind of knit drawers. Each
one of ihe group, penitents and attend
ants, carried an 'azote, or scourge
made from the leaf of the eoapweed. I
is very tough and fibrous, and was braid
ed into clubn, about four inches wide and
perhaps three feet long. The line o

at each cro-a a hall was made o

;W henever one fell down from exhaus tion
and loss of blood, .which occurred
every moment or two, one of the attend
ants took his scourge aud beat him until
hq got up. again.
In o;:c group a heavy log-chain was
fastened to each ankle of the penitent,
and the attendants took hold and dragged
him leet foremost over the beds of cactus,
or prickly-pear plants, which abound in
this country. Occasionally they would
all give a sudden jerk together, and fairly

would pethapg couliniu- liii minutes each

-Why mv dear," said thi wily sage off
Kindeihook, "1 paid $50 to have tbals
printed. '
A French gentleman who supposed hej
had mastered the English language wa
sadly puzzled one day, t when a fiiend
looked at li i iu Mini said : "How do yoi
do ?" "D-i vat V "I mean, how do yoti
find vonrsett ?" ''Saire,' I never hisesj
myself." "But how io you . feel V
"Smooth; you just feel rde."
A pompons fellow was; dining
country family, wher. I he lady
wiin aj
of th
house desired the servant to take awaf
the diU containing the fwl, which word
she pronounced fool, as is not uncommoii
in Scotland. "I presume, madam, you
mean fowl," said the piig. in a reproving
tone. "V ery well, said tho lady, a liti
tie nettled, "be it so : lake away the fowl
and let the fool remain.
As a boy was going down a street
IP
Huston, a woman opened the front doHt
of a house and called, "John, John
John " As ihe boy paid no attention tp
the calls, a pedestrian said to him, "Heriii
boy, your mother is caliiii'' you." "N
she isn't," replied the lad, as he lurnep
ihe corner; "she's only my father's seconfl
wife, and I want her to ' understand tbaH
she can't run me."
He isn't six years old, and he saic :
"Please sister Sarah, can't I haveanoth t
piece of that nice custard pie yon made "
"Why, deary, you are too full for uttc-
ance now. Look at that luscious dump
ling on your plate not half 'eaten." "U 1.
well, sister, 1 know the dumpling side of
nav stomach is lull, but th5 custardnle
side feels lather empty yet." Thatothlr
piece of pie is missing.
Persons who are not successful in pro
pagating vines by cuttings, - should ij-y
their band at making layers. Any shoot
of one year's prowth, which can be bent
down and covered wiili earth, can beosjkl
for this purpose. Strong and ' vigorous
plants can be produced the first seasfin
by layering, which is Dot ul ways true of
cuttings. ;
A writer iu tho London Daily Necs
says: "It is not, unfortunately generay
known that in the case of fire io buildings
containing horses, if ihe harness be mere
ly put on (however roughly) the" horses
will quit their stables without difficulty.
A knowledge of this fact tray be tjhe
means of saving many; a valuable animal
from a horrible death."
