There are Teazles who assert President Grevy Is economical, but after his brilliant and sump- tuous ball—the first of the season, just held— there are serious grounds to accuse him ot prod- iy. Neither the émptre nor previous pres- Idents excelled in elegance and Iuxury the ball just given. It had only one drawback—it was overcrowded, which is not wonderfal when 5,000, some say 5,000, guests were invited. Such num- pers naturally make the salons hot, just as Shakspedre's shepberd lays down tbat it ts the property of rain to wet atd of the sun to warm. ‘The reception commenced at nalf past 9, when M.Gr¢vy took up his stand, to remain for nearly three mortal hours, giving an amiable smile to all, and a cordial shake handsto many.

Migratory Quail t 18 not generally known that a large number of “migratory” quali were imported from Italy last year and liberated in various ‘ts in the United States. More than one aif of the entire quantity were distributed in Maine, This quail (Covw-nir Communis) Is the common ratory quail of Europe, which for centuries has been known to cross the Medi- terranean, tn passing from its winter home in Africa to Its breeding places throughout Eu- rope, returning again to Africa in the autumn. ‘The migratory quali resembles in outward ap- pearance our American peer, which are Called quail In New England. The migratory quail 1s one-third smaller than the New Eng- land bird, and the throat of the male ts marked with dark brown or black, extending from the bul downwards, Some young quail of the European species jonn, Months ago, though none were il! that place than at St. Stephen. Several were heard and seen near Machlas during last sum- | mer and antumn. None were liberated nearer than the Penobscot Valley, tn the west, or at Calais, forty miles to the east. This is not _re- markable, however, for this quail can fly Atty miles an hour, and, unlikeour American par- tridge or quali, it 1s capable of long sustained flights. M! ‘tory or true quali multiply very rapidly, and Judge Martin G. Everts, of Rut- land, Vt., who Introduced them here, predicts that in twenty years they will be themost nu- merous game bird in America. ‘The habits of these birds in this country are the same asin Europe, They arrive on their nesting ground in May and migrate about the end of September, Their favorite resorts are Meadows and fields of grain. Their food con- sists of grain, herbs and hemp, poppy and turnip seed. ‘They feed also on grasshoppers, worms, insects and their eggs and larve. The female makes her nest {n June orJuly. It isa mere depression in the ground, surrounded by & few straws, and contains from elght to four- teen greenish eggs, marked with large brown Spots. The notes of the male, especially in moonlight nights in summer, are very clear and pleasing.

In spite of the innumerable snares that were set for his life, Alexander 41. held the sceptre for a period tar longer than the average term accorded to European sovereigns. He suc- ceeded to the throne on March 2, 1355, though the coronation, which took piace at Moscow, Was postponed for a year anda half. Thus his reign covered a period of twenty-six years and eleven days. Only three among the Ea- ropean rulers Who claim imperfal or royal rank show a reign of longer duration. A queen leads the line. Viciorla of England ascended the throne on June 2th, 1537, and already her reign has endured for forty-three years, elght months and twenty-three days. Francis Joseph of Austria comes next. He was. proclaimed Emperor of Austria on December 2, 1845, and counts an imperial term of 32 years, 3'months and 1) days, Wiillam JIL, King of } the Netherlands, stands third in the lst. “He succeeded to the throne on March 17, 1849. Oa Thursday last lis Duteh Majesty compieted the 52d year of his reign, The death of the Czar has raised Willlam of Germany to the fourth place on the list, but that position is held by the Kaiseras King of Prassia, not ag Emperor of Germany. William ascended the Prussian throne on January 2, 1561, He has Worn the crown for 20 years. 2 months and 13 days. It will be seen that the Katser’s royal authority must conUnue nearly six years longer before it can match lengths with the reign which was cut short on Sunday by a murderous hand. But, though the reign of Alexander If, looks long In. compare with the figures shown by the rulers of other lands, its duration, strange to say, lores by no means remarkable in Russian history. ‘The record on this point runs right in the teeth of the current impression. Muscovite sovereignty has been deger!oed, Wittly, and with some justification, as a despotism tempered by assassination. ‘Yet, in Spite of the risk of a violent death, Czars and Czarinas, as a rule, have kept their heads under the crown for periods that Tun tar beyond the average duration of reign in_ safer countries. Great, the first ruler of Utle of autocrat, ascended the throne in 1152, From that date up to the accesston of Alexander HI, twenty-four Czar and Czarina held sway in Muscovy, Twen- ty-four rulers in continuous succession covered & period of 419 years, an average of nearly sev- euteen and one-half years to each reign. Of these as many as seven exceeded the term of the late Czar. The Ust ts well worth giving, ‘To begin with the smaller figures, Nicholas, the father of Alexander II., ruled for thirty years; Alexis, the son of Michael, for thirty-one years; and Michael himself, the tirst Czar of the house of Romanoff, for thirty-two years.

The great differences be- Uween the water andthe airas highways for the locomotion of animals amounts to this: the water, being a heavy, incompressible | iluld, oats or buoys up the animal immersed in it, and affords & comparatively substantial recoil to its traveling surfaces. A swim- ming animal has, cossequently, only to ropel itself; the air,on the contrary being 2 light and highly compressible flufd, does not iloat or buoy up the anireal immersed tn It, neither does it afford a very substantial recoil to its traveling surfaces, A flying anima! has, consequently, not only to oe itself, Dut also to float or buoy itself. ‘ne analogy which obtains between the water and the alr as supporting medes. has strangely and gravely comp! cated the problem of fight; the idea uppermost in most minds being, that a flying creature must tloat upon the air asa ship oats upon the water. This Idea led to the dis- covery of a balloon by the atgolfier broth- ers in 1782, nearly 100 years ago, As, however, everything which fites is vestly heavier than the alr, it follows that the badicon has no ana- logue in nature. ‘The ballcon cannot in any sense be regarded as a flying machine. Ina calm it can only rise and fall tn a vertical line, and if alr currents are present it 1s watted about, and 1s completely at the mercy of the wind. As Its horizontal movements cannot be controlled it is useless as a means of transport trom one point to another. The balloon at best is a mere lifting apparatus. 1b resembles the fiying creature only in this, that it is immersed mn the ocean of air in which it sustains itself. The mode of suspension 1s wholly different.

(Prom ihe Wirt County Menior.} Not far from Wirt county fs the home of two young ladies, sisters, aged respectively 18 and 20 years. They were each regeiving the ad- dresses of lovers, who wore brothers, and both couples were engaged to be married. It was thelr intention to celebrate a double wedding about the holidays, but now matters have changed. A few daysago the four were sitting together in the girls’ home, when the elder lady expressed a desire to attend a prot meeting then being he!d in a village near by. She asked her lover to accompany ner, but he refused point blank, giving as his reason that ses. ie complainant’s theory seems to be that this fs a public nuisance, which injuriously affects him specially.

It was such as ‘was used habitually in other parts of Ypsilant! as Well as elsewhere, and was recognized by the city ordinances as not objectionable. It was therefore no more than a lawful use of defead- aunt's own propefty. The special grievance compiatned of 1s simply that it obstructs the view of the sidewalk and a portion of thestret. The testimony does not indicate that there was any well-founded objection in fact to the awa- ing, and there is no objection to it. A Mania for the malicious use of vitriol has broken out in France.
