The Princess Dagmar, as the cm** ! prt'M i.x xtill lulled HI tln* Imiil of her ! birth, grew up with her sixter Alexnn- I dra, now the princess of Wales, at the Danish court, with very modest sur rounding*. The ipieen WHS UU excel lent mother, and sought to develop in i her duughters the woman in preference the princess. It used to lie said at 1 the capital that the princesses were ' | made to help in making their own | 1 dresses, and that the furniture in their ' common lied-room was covered with I inexpensive calico. A story of the \ naive admiration ex presses I hy l'rin- j cc-- Dagmar on being shown the wed ding trousseau of one of the noble ! ladies at court, and her longing won-i der whether she would ever herself; own "such handsome things," was told with a touch of sympathetic pride by , the people of ( 'ojH-nliag' ii, with wb'iin the two princesses were great favorites. ■■ Dagmar lutd won Iter way deep'--: in to the people's heart, however. Her sweet di-position, the winning grace of her manner and the perfect freedom with which she, like her sisters (ami ' indeed the whole royal family), moved among nil classes of the |K*ople were well calculated to gain for her allec tion that followed her to her new home and found expression at her 1 wedding in a score of ways that touch j I'd the heart of the princess profound ly. At every subsequent appearuncc j at lier father's court she was received i by the people with an enthusiasm that • veil embraced In-r husband, despite the rumors of bis sinister character and violent temper that from the be ginning had threatened to make the match an un|sipular one. The Cxare witch apparently took kindly to this [Nipularity, and when at Copcngagco mingled freely with the populace. His hlutr, mldimy way soon found favor, and when Dagmar'- children in little kilt*d suit- and with daik hair "liang <d ' over th< ir foreheads Iwgan to Is seen about the park nt Frcdcnhorg, "grandpapa's" summer palace, the re '•••neiliation to the foreigner was com plete. One of the eaues that contributed to the popularity of the Princess Dag mar was, pcrhnjM, her tiame. iI• r lather had wisely given to nil hi* children, except Alexandra, old, his torical Danish names, identified with the pnst of the nation. Frederick t 'hri-tian, Valdcmar and Tiiyra are I all nanu* that hold a high place in I Dani-h history and live in its song* and traditions. Put of all tin* na tion's great names none is dearer to the heart of the Danish people than that of Dagmar, tlu* queen of the vic torious Vnldemar and the friend of the needy and oppressed throughout the land, whose goodness was so great ! that on lu*r untimely heath-lied, ac cording to tradition, no greater sin weighed upon her conscience than "sewing n laec sleeve on Sunday." The |**oplo of l>jK*nhngen among whom the Princess Dagmar moved liked to compare her virtues with those of the beloved queen, and at her departure for her Russian home the fervent wish followed her that she would prove in truth a veritable Dag mar —a "harbinger of day" to the unhappy people whose empress she was some day to become. The Prin- I cess Dagmar was not a handsome child, j her features being clumsy though ; lileasing; hut she grew into a very leautiful woman, like her sister Alex andra. In every print shop in Cojien- ! hagen pictures of her and her husband, with their children, are for sale. The ! children have little of their mother's looks, hut bear a strong resemblance to their father. A TEXAS AIKbIMI S. A Dallas (Texas Hettersays; A trag ic* death has just occurred in our neigh boring county of Hill, worth relating and worthy of Virginius or any other Roman father. One year ago (teorge Arnold came to Dallas on private ( business, and while walking the streets , was bitten hy n worthless cur which , was frothing at the mouth and show- ] ing other symptoms of hydrophobia. , Mr. Arnold became alarmed and very | much excited when convinced in his , own mind the dog was mad. He ( went to n physician anil had the wound | severely cauterized. Then, going home. ( ho was still very uneasy nnd dreaded ( hydrophobia so much that he hunted ( up a madstone and had it applied for ( several weeks, off and on. Ho took , every other precaution which was sug- j gested, resting all the time under a , mortal dread that the virus had gone , into his system and would sooucr or ( later kill him. He had a wife and , several small children living on a rath- c or isolated farm, and the thought that he might suddeuly lose his reason and harm his little babies horrified hint. . The other day be ttegan to experience 4 strange feelings, and at once concluded his time had come. He then proctir- 1 ed a twelve-foot trace chain and strong lock and went to the woods. After writing his wife a calm letter, in ' which he told her what was about to ( happen, giving her directions us to his wishes after death, and pouring out a volume of love for her uml the chil dren, he run the chain around a tree, drew it through the large ring at the end and then wound the other end uround his ankle so tight that it would not slip the foot, locked it with the lock und threw the key far beyond his reach. The body was found two days after still chained to the tree. There WUH all the evidence necessary to show the horrible death from hydrophobia, lhe ground was torn up to the full length of the clinin, the nails of his lingers wrenched off, and all his front teeth onl in scratching and biting the tree, and every thread of clothing oil' i his body. The body was drcadi'ullv ' lacerated with these, the only weapon the madman could use. He hud judged rightly what Would have been the consequence had he remained at home, and knowing that there was no i human skill that could have cured him, i preferred death alone, and in that i way, to doing harm to those so near | ; and dear to him as wife and children, j Arnold was originally from Talladega, ' Ala., where he married, and where hi- i widow has many friends ami relatives.

An annual drawing for tlio conscrip tion of the yearly military contingent ( the I* reuch call it the i irnge an iSrt l i* now going on in Paris. The draw ; ing in Paris lasts about three weeks, i The young men of each of the twenty arromlissements of the capital are J called out in their turn. Ihe cere mony take* place on the ground lloor of the Palace of Industry, in the ( haiiip- Lly-e. *. A large temporary salle is formed for the reception of the recruit*. At the end of it rise- a platform on which the mayor of the j district, with his tri-colored scarf, and the military authorities in mufti, are , seated round a large green-blazed ta ble. The I irugc takes place in alpha- Iwtieal order, so many letters being •ailed up at the same time. Kacli young man ha- his paper containing hi- name, address, occupation, etc., and a- he ascends the platform he hands it to an official.

A Chinese I.lly, A Chinaman working about a sa loon in Virginia City, Nov., the othe;r night, brought to his employer a Chi nese lily in full bud. He-said it would be seen that the plant would hloonx just at twelve o'clock, with the comiug of the Chinese New S'ear. The plant was brought to the saloon about ten o'clock. The Chinaman dosed it witb a white powder dissolved in warm wa ter, and performed over it several eer ! emnnies. The buds were observed tc swell visibly, but at 11.40 o'clock not ! one had opened. The hands of the ' clock were fast moving up to the mid night hour. When it lacked but about three minutes of twelve, John drew out a piece of bamboo, about an inch in diameter, from some secret recess about his raiment. Placing this to hi.-* * mouth, he gently blew his warm breath on one of the buds, and almost in-tant ly it was seen to expand and stand forth a full blown flower. Iu rapid succession flower after flower was thus brought out, and at midnight the wholo plant was a mass of blossoms. Till: Egyptians, it is said, were the first who fixed the length of the year. The Unman year was introduced by Romulus, 738 11. C., and it was cor reeled hv Nunia, 713 11. 0., and again by Julius Cwsar, 4"> 11. C., whc fixed the solar vcar as Iwiog 3fWi days and tl hours. This was denominated the Julian Style, and prevaled gener ally throughout the Christian world till the time of Pone Gregory XIII. The calendar of Julius Ctctar was de fective in this particular, that 'the solar year consisted of 36-5 davs, 5 hours and 49 minutes, and uot of 365 days, fl hours. The difference at the time of Gregory XIII had amounted to 10 entire days. To obviate this error Gregory ordained in 1582 that thai year should consist of 3*5 days only; and in 1751 it was ordered to be so used in Knglaod; and the nest year 11 davs were left out, and the 3d of September, 1762, being reckoned M the 14th, so as to make it agree with the Gregory calendar. The Russians still adhere to tho Julian caleudar, (called now Old Stylf.) which is twelve days behiud the reck oning of the Gregorian. A fiery Meed—The horse radish.
