DIFFERENCES.
BT  CIURLE9  MACK AY.
The king can drink the best of wine-
So can I;
And has enough when he would dine—
So have I;
And cannot order rain or shine—
Nor can I;
Then whore's the difference—let me see—
Betwixt my lord the king and me?
1)* trusty friends surround his throne
Night and day!
Or make his interest their own?
No; not they.
Mine love me for myself alone—
Blessed be they !
Aud that's one difference which I see
Betwixt my lord the king and me.
Do kuaves around me lie in wait
To deceive?
Or fawn or Hatter when they hate,
And would grieve?
Or cruel pomps oppress my &tate—
By my leave?
No ! Heaven be thanked I    And here you seo
More difference "twixt the king and me I
He has bis fools, with jests and quips,
When he'd play;
He has his armies and bis ships—
Great are they ;
But not a child to kiss his lips —
Well-a-day !
And that the diftl-rence sad to see
Betwixt my lord the king aud me.
1 wear the cap and he the crown—
What of that I
I sleep on straw and he on down—
What of lhat?
And he's the king and I'm the clown—
What of that ?
If happy I, and wretched he,
Perhaps the king would change with me !

TRIFLES.
The world is made up of trifles. The grand
movements of great events and the changes of
tmpires are founded in causes, very generally,
wfci&n would be pronounced trifles by the world.
Yes, "trifles light as air," have led to some ol
the most important discoveries we have. The
fall of an apple gave Newton the clue, to gravitation ; tbe rising up of the lid of a tea kettle gave
us our railroads, steamboats, ocean steamers, and
a thousand other things, not to speak of our steam
press, that, combined, put tho world centurie!
ahead in tbe mysteries of the universe and the
purposes of God.
To the observation of a flower dimly pictured
on a (tone, we owe tho philosophical researches
in chemistry and light which ultimately gave ue
the daguerreotype.
To grasp
A thing impalpable, and hold it, was
Once considered wild impossibility,
Until Daguerre, with heaven aspiring might
Captured a shadow with a ray of light
And chained it down for ever.
By a trifling loan of money from the great actor
Talma to Napoleon, in a time of need, the face Of
Europe was changed—millions of meu perished
thrones were emptied, Wellington made a duke,
Moscow was burn ed, and France made a despotism
at the present time ; for Napoleon  waa on  the
brink of suicide—a nameless adventurer—when
Talma gave bim this assistance.
The foundation of the Roman Empire was a
cunning trick iu en individual combat, or duel.
American liberty and thirty-one glorious Statef
arose from a strong cup of tea made by the Bos-'
tonians in 1775. A little piece of magnetised
steel led to the discovery of a-new world. The
erection of a saw-mill in California changed the
currency of the world. The crossing of a little
Btream of water subverted the libeities of Rome
and gave the name of Brutus immortality. The
flying of a common paper kite by a printer gave
ns the magnetic telegraph. The eating of an apple in the garden of Eden, brought sin and death
into the world ; the giving away of a golden apple caused a ten years' war and the fall of Troy.
A delay ^f five minutes saved the lives of" Napoleon the First and bis family from an '-infernal
machine" in the streets of Paris, A delay of two
minutes once cost about fifty lives ou an American
railroad. From a li ttle acorn, the great American
forests have grown.
It is impossible to enumerate, especially in a
newspaper article, the almost numberless "trifles'
that have produced great events, and made num
berleBB radical changes in the history and destiny
of the world. Suffice it to say, that " trifles" are
not to be s^ffed at. The world may learn great,
and true, and valuable lessons from these same
" trifles." Tbe fable of tho lion who was released
from his prison by a mouse, was written by a
great man—upon a less foundation than this, there
haB been ercjted a deathless poetry, wonderful
tragedies, many uoble novels.—JV. O. Picayune.

How Henry A. Crabb became a Filibuster..—
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican has the following :—
" It bad occurred to us recently, that Henry A.
Crabb, the Sonora filibuster, is an old acquaintance whom we formerlj knew inVicksburg, Miss-
He waa a young lawyer of decided talent and excellent character—modest but ambitious and full
of life and energy. In tbe Taylor campaign he
waa an active and enthusiastic whig. Oue even
ing, at the close of a political meeting, in which
there had been a warm debate, he met Mr. Jenkins.
the democratic editor of the Vicksburg Sentinel,
nnd entered into discussion with him upon some
point relating to the management of the meeting,
which, as in tbe custom there, had been participated in by both sides. They differed, aud differed warmly, almost coming to blows, though both
were naturally and by reputation as peaceable
men as there were in the city.
The next day both armed themselves before appearing in the street—Crabb with a pistol and
Jenkins with a knife. Jenkins was standing iu
the door-way of a drug-store as Crabb passed by.
Jenkins bowed, and Ciabb paused and asked him
why he, after the language of tbe previous even
inff, presumed lo speak to him. Jenkins instantly
lunged at him with a knife. Crabb warned bim
off, and told bim he should be obliged to shoot bim
if he did not desist. Jenkins was insane, with
rage, and kept up tbe attack, Crabb begging hi
while his blood flowed freely, to stop and not.
oblige him to shoot him. He thus maintained his
equanimity until tbe sad necessity came, when he
raised his pistol and shot Jenkins dead upon tbe
spot, Crabb Was nearly cut to death. He lay
for weeks during the hot summer weather before
he recovered. He was then arrested, examined
and acquitted. This difficulty sent him to California. There be became a prominent political
leader ; there he married, and from thence he
wanton his filibustering expedition to Sonora.
where he bst his life. And all because he bad a
warm conversation on politics, entered into without a thought of the terrible influence it was to
have upon his destiny."

;| God bless the man who first invented sleep !"
So Sancho Panza said, and so say I;
And bless him, also, that lie didn't keep
His great discovery to himself; or try
To make it, as the lucky fellow might—
A close monopoly by " patent right!"
Yes—bless the man who first invented sleep
(I really can't avoid the iteration ;)
But blast the man with curses loud and deep,
Whate'er the raSCaPs  name, or age, or station
Who first invented, and went round advertising,
That artificial cut olf—Early Rising !
Rise with the lark, and with tbe lark to bed,"

But, ere you make yourself a fool or fowl,
Pray just inquire about the rise—aud fall,
■ And whether larks have any beds at all !

And he who cannot keep his precious head
Upon his pillow till it's fairly light,

It was a glorious thing to rise in season.

His preaching wasn't sanctioned by his practice.

Los Angeles, April II, 1887.
AdVIcr to Younu Mkx.—In his valedictory address, ex-L&rd Rrctor of Glasgow University, Sir
E. Bulwer Lytton, lately offered the ioUowing excellent maxims to the students:—
Never affect to be any other than you are—cither richer or wiser.   Never be ashamed to say,
"1 do not know."   Men will then  believe you
when you say " I do know."   Never be ashamed
to say, whether applied to time or money, " I can-1
not afford it : I cannot afford to waste an hour in |
the idleness to which you invite me ; I cannot afford   the  guinea  you   ask   me   to throw away."
Once establish yourself and your mode of life as
what they really are, and your foot is on solid
ground, whether for the gradual step onward or
for the sudden spring over  a precipice.   From
these maxims let me deduce   another.    Learn to
say "No "   with' decision,  "Yes" with caution.
No " with decision whenever it meets a tempta-
on ; " Yes " with caution whenever it implies a
promise,    a premise, once given, ia a bond inviolate.    A  man   is  always  of consequence  iu   the
W'6"rl(7 when  it is known that we  can implicitly
rely  upon  him.   I h;ave frequently seen in life
such a person preferred to a long list of applicants
for some important charge f he has been lifted at
once into station and fortune',  merely because he
has  this  reputation—that  when   a  man says he
knows a thing, he knows: and when he says he
will do a thing, he will do it;
Explokation Oh" Africa from Zanzibar.—Capt.
Burton and Lieut. Speko hare  left (or Zanzibar,
to commence a series of explorations info the interior, for which two years have been assigned
them.    They expect to be joined by',Ur. Stcin-
hauser from Aden, and this completes the arrangements of the expedition.   It is not supposed likely that the travelers will be able to remain more
than a twelvemonth   at a time iu the interior ;
when they find their supplies and resources begin
to fail tbeiri, they will probably visit Zanzibar,
and make a fresh departure inland.    Their first
object is to make for the shores of the Great Lake
or series of lakes in Central Africa, which twenty
year9 ago were only known by imperfect rumor,
and from time to time were washed  from, or replaced on the map, as our supposed knowledge
regarding them waxed or waned.    We have every
reason to believe that sheets of fresh water of
large expanse exist in Central Africa, just uuder
the line, and so far south as the twentieth parallel
or probably over a space nearly  as  large as  Ihe
peninsular of Hiudostan.    That this is a continuous inland sCa we have no sufficient ground for
believing.   That the  lakes are united Is more
than probable ; that some of them are of vast
magnitude is almost certain ; but not only are we
ignorant of their size, their connections, width,
and relations to each other,  but; we are not so
much as aware whether or not they form  a great
idependent lake and river system unconnected
with the ocean, or whether they may not Bend off
a portion of their waters to the sea.    Capt. Burton is of the opinion that from some of them the
Nile derives its supplies.   And the travelers from
Zanzibar  are not without hope of meeting the
great exploring party, now proceeding southward
from Egypt, and so between them solving a problem which has formed the  mystery of the past
twenty centuries. The Greek geographer, Ptolemy,
of two extensive lakes, which owe their ex-
I istence to the melting of the snow on the Mouut-
I ains of the Moon, as feeders of tbe Nile.   These be
describes as (! and 7 south and £7 and G5 east.   If
we subtract the correction of ten degrees required
by all  Ptolemy's observations,  this will place
them three or four north.   According to Ptolemy,
when the correction just referred to has been applied, the Mountains of the Moon are very nearly
under the line, and this is the position now assigned to the Great Snowy Range.    It ja to these
wonderful regions that the eyes of geographers in
ali parts of the world are at present directed, and
thitherward two bodies of bold adventurers, one
from Cario, another from Bombay, are at present
directing  their   steps, with an enterprise ljclore
fcliera, laborious and dangerous as it is, often par-
illeied in labor and danger, but never certainly
1""r""'r""1 in interest.—Bombay  Times.

IT seem that the Electro-Chemical Baths, have
decided the vexed question in regard to the
notorious National Hotel disease; one victim
having been fortunate enough to try the baths, as
a last resort, wherein the "test-plate showed a
heavy deposit of arsenic." This tells a dark tale
on somebody, and shows how the people choose to
be humbugged, even to death, rather than bo cured
by an unpopular agent. The Electro-Chemical
baths were in use and within the reach of those
victims, but they were in the hands of Reformers,
henco, but one of the many victims, it seems, re-
florted to them.
I do not claim that the baths are a cure-all, but
that they are a powerful agent in renovating the
human system generally, and that they will expel
from the system murcury, or other mineral poisons, so as to be seen by the naked eye : showing
clearly the absurdity of the Alopalhic practice,
and why the Doctors decry those tell-tale machines.
Should there be any In this community Independent enough to investigate these tiling for
themselves, they may find it to their advantage to
call on the undersigned, who administer-i the
baths, and is a dealer in electro-magnetic ma
chines for family use, giving all necessary directions.

Complimext to A Wife.—The Marquis de ,
eldest sou of the Duke, is married to a handsome
wife and both are sincerely attached to each other.
No union can be more happy. The other night
they had dressed for a ball, to whicb they were
invited, and at the moment of departure tbe lady
made her appearance in such a bewitching toilette'
and looked so divinely beautiful, that the husband was seized with a sudden lit of jealousy, and
without any feeling of resentment or ill-will to
bis wife, but merely to prevent others from the
enjoyment of such a sight, he very deliberately
tore her gown in pieces from her back. Man)' ladies would have sued for a separation. I asked
how the young French Marquise bore the disappointment. 'The answer was, "she was flattered
beyond measure, and proud of this proof of her
husband's admiration ;■ and in fact,' said the narrator, " there was something beautiful aud sublime in this flash of sentiment," I had so little
\poesie in my nature tbut it struck? me a« very ill-
' bred, rather cruel and exceedingly selfish.

Economy or Cuemisthy.—The chemistry of art,
like a prudent housewife, economizes every scrap.
The horse-shoe nails dropped; in ihe streets during
tbe daily traffic are carelully collected by her,
and reappear in the form of swords and guns. ,
The clippings of the traveling tinker are  mixed.!
with the parings of horse's hoofs from' the smithy,
or tbe cast-off woolen garments of the poorest inhabitants a sister's isle, and' soon afterwards, in
the form of dyes the brightest blue, grace the
dress of courtly dames.    The main ingredient of
writing-ink was, possibly,-oude part of tbe broken
hoop of an old beer barrel.    The bones of dead
animals yields  the  chief constituents  of lucifer
matches.    The dregs of port wine, carefully rejected by the port Wine drinker in decanting his
favorite beverage, are taken by bim in the morning in the form of Seidlitz powders, to remove
the effects of his debauch.    The offal of the streets
aud the washings Of coal-gas 'reappears carefully
preserved iu tbe lady's smelling bottle, or are
used to flavor blancmanges for her friends.    This
economy of the chemistry of art is only in imitation of what we observe in the Chemistry of nature.
Animals live and die • their dead bodies passing
into putridity, escape iuto t!ie atmosphere, whence
plants again mould them into forms of organic
lile; and these plants, actually consisting of a
past generation, form our present food.—Dr. Loon
Playful?*.
An Ixcioe.vt op BiLACLAVA.—When the Light
Brigade was preparing for action, the butcher of
the 17th Lancers, who had just been performing
his office, slaughtering sbeep and osen, made his
appearance iu the field, without coat orwaistcoat;
his shirtsleeves relied up, end h-s arms and face
besmeared with blood—a grotesque and terrible
figure.   He mounted a powerful c&arger and rode
up to his troop.   He had no business there, but
the prospect of a bloody fray was too strong to'be
resisted.   He seized two sabres, deliberately examined the temper and edges of tbe blades, select
ed the sharpest and threw the other aside.    He
then, with equal coolness, took out a short black
pipe, charged it, lighted it, placed it in his mouth,
and, settling himself in the saddle, rode with the
"six hundred" into the Valley ;of the Shadow of
Death.   This man was seen among the Russian
batteries, sabreing tbe gunners right and left,
slaying with his his own hand at least six of the
enemy, cutting his way in tee retreat through the
swarms of Russian cavalry, which vainly sought
ta intercept the remnant of the gallant band, and,
wonderful to relate, he rode back, etill smoking
his pipe as coolly as if nothing had happened,
without receiving a single scratch.—Dublin Freeman's Journal.
Marriages op thk Spartan- Ladies.—The time
for marriage, in Sparta, was fixed by statute—
that of the men, at about thirty or thirty-five
years; that of the women, at ahout twenty, or a
little younger. All men who conliaued unmarried after the appointed time, were liable to prosecution, and ali old bachelors were prohibited
from being present at the public exercise of tbe
Spartan maidens, aud were denied the usual res-
peet aud honors paid to the aged: " Why should
I give you place." cried a young man to an unmarried general, "when you have no child to
give place to me when I am old 1" No marriage
portions were given with any of the maidens', so
that neither poverty should prevent a gallant, nor
riches tempt him to marry contrary to his inclinations. The parents of three children enjoyed considerable immunities, and those with four children
paid no taxes whatever—a regulation which all
larried men with large families will readily admit to be most wise and equitable. It was customary for the bridesmaid to cut off all the bride's
hair on the wedding day, so that, for some time at
least, her personal attractions should increase
with her years.
Quick and Easy Metuod op Computixo Interest.—A correspondent in Hunt's Merchant's
Magazine, gives the following as a quick aud
;asy method of computing interest:
Divide either the amount or the days by CO,
and multiply, and the result is the interesl at 6
percent. Take example, for instanc, SC31 (or
81 days, divide amount by 00, result 10J ; multi'-
ply by SI, $8.50—a result easily attained without
the use of paper. For 9 per cent,, divide by 10 ;
,for 12 per cent., divide by 30i
A Great Evil hot Removed.—A conference
preacher one day went into the house of a' AVes-
leyan Reformer, and saw suspended on the wall,
toe porkaits of three expelled ministers.
" What," said he, " you have Ihem here."
'; Oh, yes, they are there,-" was the answer.
" Bui one is wanted to complete the set."
" Pray who U that?"
'Why, the devil, to be sure."
"Ah," said the reformer, "he is not yet expelled from the conference."
A boy was asked lately, "Who killed Abel?"
He promptly replied, " Andrew Jackson." This

Tins Camels in Texas.
A correspondent of the Richmond Examiner,
encamped near San Antonio, on his way to California, thus writes of tbe camels, which have beeK
imported for the government service f
Monday, June the 22d, Lieut. Beale returned
from Camp Verde.    We were all on the qui vive
for the camels, which he had left behind io San
\ntouio, in order that he might prepare Mr their
reception.    We had been told that our mules and
horses wouldHje much frightened at their appear-
auce, ftnd  we were not a little curioui to Bee the
result of their meeting.    Our suspense waa not of
long duration,    Just as the gray of evening waa
coming on, tho clang, clang, clang of bells in tho
distance announced their  approach, and in a few
moments the long wished for caravau hove insight
and we, for the first time, I suppoae, in the life of
every man of us, saw as many as twenty five camels advancing in single file, the whole under the
management of six Orientals—four Turks and two
Greeks, (not modern, but ancient Greeks j we had
enough of the other sort before.')    Perhaps there
may haye been nothing which many person's alight
regard as particularly moving in the sight, but
the effect on me was ratter peculiar.    The dim
twilight, which   made  them seem like so many
spectral shadows—the measured tone of the bells,
like   "drowsy tiaklings"—the shouting of the
drivers in their incomprehensible jargon, as they
sat high above us on their dromedaries—the grotesque form of the creatures whose heights were
were greatly increased by their immense, fancy-
colored  pack-saddles, and whose long necks were
stretched out like huge serpents peering about for
prey, combined to make a scone irnpresaifeiand
yet ridiculous withal.   Had it been iu the streets
6f a city, I should have fancied myself in some
Eastern land, where the, turbaned Turk, or the"
swarthy Arab, with his patient, plodding camel,
met the eye at every turn.
As I stood thus, in silent contemplation, the
spell was broken by a loud laugh from almost the
entire party, who were such matter-of-fact persons
$£ to see nothing worthy of any emotion but that
of mirth. Heavens! thought I, what a lack of
sentiment! and I half .fancied" myself an injured
man ; but the next moment, by a sudden transition of feeling, I j tuned In the general guffaw-.'
As a safeguard against a stampede, we had
taken the precaution to drive all our animals into'
the corral, (is that the orthography?—it is a
Spanish word, and I am not sure,) and it proved1
to be a wise oue ; for a mora frightened h'crd OT
animals I never b<iw. Every bead was tossed high'
in tbe air, and forming into a solid phalanx, led
on by two grays, with a wild neigh, they came'
like au avalanche to tbe side of the pen. and
would undoubtedly have cleared it at a bound but
for the guard which had been stationed fi prevent
their exit.
Even now, after' a companionship of several
days, our mules are very shy of them',
Oue of the Greeks having charge of tho camels,'
js au interesting youth of tone sixteen years, with
a fine intelligent face and a lithe active form. He'
came up to me aa I was standing near the corral,
and something like the following dialogue ensued:"
" You aragocaliforn ?" interrogated he, in a
soft, womanly voice.
Yes," said I, "I am going to California, I
hope."
" You cssifer, you von .captaina V
" I am high private," was my rather ambiguous reply.
"High pril ah! ah! goot, vor goot;" and he
left me, evidently impressed with the importance
1 of my position.'
For me to enter iuto a history of the camel
would be very like presumption, knowing that
the subject has engaged the attention of those who
are far more able to do it justice ; but I may be
allowed to mention a Jew facts concerning them
which I have gathered from observation. Tho
camels used by us are said to be very superior
ones, and certainly present a far more sightly appearance than the miserable creatures which have
been exhibited in the traveling menageries, which
sometimes visit your city. They were purchased
for the government as a choice lot, and may doubtless be regarded as fully capable of testing the
utility of their' species' in crossing the wide extended plains lying between" the Mississippi valley and the Pacific Ocean.
With their pack saddles on, which are not often
removed, ihey stood about eight feet in height-'
Their general formation does not iudicate great
strength, in which', perhaps, they do not much, if
at all, exceed' the horse ;'biu their fitness for the
tratel westward, if the result proves their fitness
at all, consists in their opacity to endure the
want of food and water. They are said to be very
hardy, manifesting but little choice in their food,'
seeming in fact to prefer that in which other
quadrupeds find but little nutriment, such as twigs,"
the leaves of trees, and' erea'sticks, when pressor
by hunger. . 	
They are very docile, and are easily managed/
Their gait is slow, but their stride is greater thau
that of a horse, being about three feet in length,'
and with steady traveling they will average 3J
miles per hour.
They do not kneel to receive their load, as.nas'
been stated, at the word of corninr.Ji'd ; but with ft
Kir-r-r, Kir-r-r, aud a gentle prussure upon the.
neck or a pull upon their balurs, they assume
the recumbent position. ,
It has-also been stated that wfefetf trip heavily/
laden they refuse to rise, and utter a piteous cry.'
I have not seen one overloaded, but their cries are
uttered to express their distress or dissatisfaction
at all times. When half suppressed they are the'
same as tho lazy grunt of the lioir, wbusa rVp'oW
is rudely disturbed ; but when ennvged it is much'
more wild and greatly like tbgl of a Bengal tiger^
when his keeper " stirs him up with a long pOle."
