A Romantic Royal Marriage. The marriage o1 wwe Empress of Rus- sian was almost n romance. In 1831 » when the present Czar was twenty-three vears of age, a list was prepared at St. Petershurg of. marriageable German princesses, and under the care of Count Orloff the Crzareviteh went to visit them. He had been to Berlin and the ecorris of North Germany, and was on his way to Carlsruhe when he arrived at Frankfort. The prince was about to resame bis journey when he received an invitation from the Grand Duke of Hesse-Darmstadt to dine at the palace of Darmstadt. As a matter of courtesy only the invitation was accepted, and after dinner the court adjourned to another room for tea. There the Rus- ginn Celebs in search of a wife saw a voung lady of sixteen, accompanied by fier roverness, whose appearance was so charming by its simplicity that he inquired who she was. The Princess Mary was the daughter of his host, but her name was not on the St. Peters- burg list. Presently the rosal and im- perial personages proceeded to thedraw- ing-room, where Alexander asked to be resented to the attractive girl, and a mg conversation confirmed his first impressions, Next morning Count Or- loft ii: o 1 the prince of the arrange. ments for proceeding to Baden. ** My dearjcount,” said the grand duke, * we shall go no turther; I have made my choice - my journey is finished.” Or- loff had not suspected iow matters stood and expostulated. The princesses of Baden had not been seen and the name of the Princess Mary of Hesse was nos on the list. Alexander would go to he had made up his mind to marry none other than the Princess Mary.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD. The Uses of the Potato. In France the farina is largely used for oulinagy purposes. The famous ravies, sauces, my soups of France are largely indebted for their excellence to that source, and the bread and pastry equally so, while a great deal of the $0 called cognae, imported into England from France, is distilled from the potato. Throughout Germany the same uses are common. In Poland'the manufac ture of spirits from the potato is a most extensive trade. ** Stettin brandy,” well known in commerce, is largely im ported into England, and is sent! from thence to many of our foreign possessions as the produce of the grape, and is placed on many a table of England as the same; while the fair ladies of ow country perfume themselves with the spirit of potato under the designation of ean de Cologne. But there are other uses which this esculent is turned to abroad After extracting the faring, the pulp is manufactured into ornamental articles, such as picture frames, snufl boxes, and several desowiptions of toys, and the water that runs from it in the process of manufacture is a most valuable scourer For perfectly cleansing woolens, and such like articles, it is the housewife's panacea; and if the washerwoman hap pens to have chilbinins she become cured by the operation.

Consignments to Liverpool are solicited by the brokers there, who promise to take all that ean be furnished. During the Franco-German war the French government purchased all the farina it could secure and mixed it with wheaten flour in “potato cakes" for the army. Farina at that time rose to $200 a ton, and even the supply fell far short of the demand. Since wd an increased amount of farina has been regularly consumed in France, and farina mills have correspondingly multiplied in that country. The manufacture of potato flour is so simpie, and the results so methodical, that it requires very little experience to reach a satisfactory issue The potatoes are first steeped in water from six to twelve hours to soften the dirt and other matter adhering, after which they are thoroughly washed by mechanioal means with the aid of either steam or water power. They are then reduced to a pulp by a rasping or grind- g process in a properly constructed miil. A smallstream of water is caused to flow on the upper surface of the rasp or grinder, to keep it clean of accumu la- ion of pulp. From the grinder th pulp falls into a washing machine, through which the farina is forced by revolving brushes, the coarser pulp be ing thwown out at lateral openings. The evantles of farina pass into a trough, and are corducted to vats, where the farina is permitted to deposit. After the proper number of filtrations and de- positions have oceurred, until sit, which is pure white farina, th latter becomes of sufficient consistency to cut into lumps, and place either un- pases, in the last + PIR dry. The drying process can be accom- piished in a building supplied with shelves, and capable of being heated from 60°, at which the farina begins to . up to 212°, which is as high a tem- perature as it will require. The heating apparatus may be such as is most conve- nient. In Europe the farina is packed in 200 to 812 pound fine sacks, but flour barrels are said to be preferable, as the wood protects it from damage and allows it to be transported safely to the distant regions.— The Journal of Applied Science.

The late effort of James Maotear, of Glas- gow, to produce diamonds artificially is by no means the first that has been made. The earliest experiments of any importance were recent, however—only fifty-twp years since. Latour and Gan. pall, the French chemists, then pre sented pure pieces of orystalizsed carbon to the academy of sciences, and caused thereby the greatest excitement, thereby supposing that the secret of making diamonds had heen discovered The result proved that the small crystals, although transparent, brilliant and harder than quarts, would neither sein tillate nor refract ravs of light suffi olently to render hem valuable, Not withstanding that they were composed of the same material as diamonds, they had little beauty. They were sub- mitted to the heat-test, as Maotear's erystals were, but like his, they under. went no perceptible change, Cham- pigny, director of a celabrated diamond firm in Paris, pronounced them genuine; whereupon followed the great dinmond panic (1898), which affected the whole commercial giobe, A few years iatey the French savant, Desprets, again startled the world by announcing that he had produced artificial diamonds, His method was to fix a cylinder of pure carbon to the positive pole of a weak Daniell pile, and a platinum wire to the negative pole, and then to plunge both ‘poles into acidulated water n two months the negative pole was cov ered with a black coating, which was sent to Gaudin (Mare Antoine) to be tested on hard stones. Mixed with a little oil, the black particles would potish rubies, and as the diamond alone will do this, Gaudin did not hesitate to declare the particles diamond-dust, a conclusion generally accepted at the time by men of science, The question, “(Can diamonds be made artificially?” is still oven, and many chemists feel sure that it will ere long be answered in the affirmative by experiments abso- lutely successful. They have already been produced in material, though not in properties, It is thought that these may be obtained by cutting the crystals differently from what they are now out. Such a discovery would pot be much more remarkable than the discovery made by Enguiner (1458) in producing facets, and perfected by Coster in mak- ing planes on the Kobh-inoor. The effect of such a discovery may be con- jectured by reference to the diamond panic of 1528, It would revolutionize values, and create a prodigious commo- tion in both rer but the com- motion would abate in due time, and good would unquestionably resuit. The value of all the diamonds in royal treas- uries. in mercantile, titled, and vrivat hands, and elsewhere, is stupendous It has been estimated at five billions, or according to the French numeration, £5,000,000,000. To destroy capital to that amount would upset for a time the world's commerce, were the ckpital active. But the capital locked up in diamonds is wholly dormant, I Longfellow and the Little Girls, The Cincinnati papers publish the foi- jowing pretty correspondence: CINCINNATI, January 23, 1880, Dear Me.

A boy named Emilien Dema, aged eleven, was accused | of deliberately murdering Paul Sarpon, a child of three and a half years.

I next jumped down after him, beat and kicked him, bit him in the aeck sand finished him off with a stone.” said, to assure himself of having really “finished off” Sarpon, this young mon- ster stated that he then dragged the ! body into a pool of water and effectually prevented any return of life by pacing a heavy stone on the head. The presi dent of the court inquired of Nema why he had taken the child's life, t . which he replied : ** Because I hated him for hav- ing me punished by my mother.” On a question being put as to whether he felt the priconer, who seemed greatly sur. prised at such a query, answered decid. edly, “No,” and added, on being fur. ther interrogated, that not even the fear of the police would have deterred him, as his desire was to “‘ kill Paul.” The child eriminal, who had given his evi- dence throughout most Gaipungivaly, displayed no feeling of any kind on being sentenced to the maximum punishment of twenty years’ imprisonment in a | senger.

Follow ing the analogy of water, the inventor conceived of a system which would re- semble the Holly water works, water is pumped directly which convey it under pressun point where it is to be used, so the ef tricity i% 10 be forced into the wires and delivered under pressure at i ation. Inthe case of water, after being used, it flows away by means of a sewer pipe and is lost. Butit is easy to imag. ine that the water used in working machinery, for instance, instead of be. ing lost, might be returned to the pulaps and used over and over again With such a system as this, we should have a ror fect analogy to the Edison electric ighting system. The electricity, after being distributed under pressure and used, is returned to the central station, As the light results from no consump tion of a material, but is mere transmuo- the energy exerted in the inlo : : its Qesiin that all which is essential to an electric! lighting system is the generator (or pump), the two lines of wire, one dis- | tributing the electricity, the other bring- | ing it back, and a lamp which trans- | mutes into light the energy carried by the electricity when it passes from one wire to the other, hs in which the as the light.
