HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Huron Expositor, 1872-09-27, Page 6a A Rising Power. The Zest mail from Europe brings interesting particulars of the solttnl- nities which took place at Belgrade, the capital of Servia, on the day when young,n Prime Milan was de- clared of age. Deputations were present from nearly all Slavic coun- tres,-and the great powers had sent special - ambassadors to offer their congratulations to the young Prince. It might seem strange that so much homage should be paid to Princerlilan, but for the exception- al importance of Servia in connec- tion with the great Slavic question. Of all the S civic states Servia alone is in an excellent condition. It has well -regulated finances, an army of one hundred and thirty thousand well drilled soldiers, a bet`_r school syteni than Austria, and a popula- tion of a singularly frugal, energetic and thrifty character. All Slavics, for these reasons, are proud of Servia, and although that state has but 1,- 300,000 inhabitants, they look upon it as the nucleus of a future great Slavic empire. This view is shared by many clear- sighted European' politicians, and the belief is general throughout the Old Worl-d that Prince Milan, who is a brilliant and energetic young man, is destined to play in the southeast of Europe the same part as King 'Victor _ mnnanuel in Italy. As the small kingdom of Sardixia was the state which" carried the unification of Italy in effect, so it is expected that_ Servia will ex- pand into a vast empire, which will gradually absorb' all Slavic states in the Apar of Europe. This Slavic question is one which every day assumes more importance. It keeps Austria. in constant fer- ment. It -raises its head every now and then in Prussian and Russian Poland. It prevents a hearty union. between Hungary and Crotia. It distraetss the people of Roumania, and it is fraught with the utmost peril for the existence of European Turkey. The tendency of the times in the world is for the consolidation of - great nationalities. If the Slaves do not possess the culture and polish of western nations, they are exceeding- ly impulsive and proud, and they have an almost fanatical faith in the future greatness of their nationality. With the Czechs of Bohemia, the national party in Russia, the Mol- davians and Wallachians, the Servi- ans, Croats and Bosnians, the idea of Panslavis i is a sort of religion. It is the dream of their politicians and their poets. It pervades- their political life and their literature. Whatever other differences may ex- ist in the political color of their jour- nals, they all agree that the Slaves will one day be united into one great nation, and they are convinced that Servia will take at one day the lead in this important movement. teas.. r Daylight Fireworks. The Japanese have firewan les made expressly to be let off by daye. light. A recent festival in Japan,: at which a display of these ` ingenious toys were exhibited, is thus descr-ib accompaniments of bells, castanets ed in the Yokohama Herald.

There_ are mostly of bombs, which exploding musical chairs, which play when high in the air,discharged sometimes yoursit down upon them, musical various . colored jets of smoke, and decanters, which strike up a merry sometimes closely folded packages of air, suoh as "The -Flowing Bowl," Tulse and paper, which unfolded where you pour anything out of them, themselves into parachutes of great musical snuff boxes, masical flower= bulk and symmetrical design.

He laughedand said, 'Tbe papers make me smarter than I am ; I have -said none of these things with one 'exception. I did say, when I had the small pox; 'Now let the office-seekerr come, for at last I have something I can give to all of them.' fw� Personal Beauty. There is nothing more unfavor- able to female beauty than late hours. Women who,either from necessity or choice, spend most; of the day in bed, and the night at `work or in dissipation, have always a pale, faded complexion, and dark rimmed and wearied eyes. Too much sleep is almost as hurtful as too little, and is sure to bloat the Berson with a pallid and unwhole- some fat. The diet also has a mark- ed influence upon personal beauty. Generous living is favorable to good looks, -as it tends to fill out, and give color and sleekness to the skin. A gross and excessive indulgence, how- ever) in eating and drinking is fa- tal to the female charms, especially where thereis a great tendency to • making flesh.' Regularity of time in the daily repasts, and scientific cooking, are the best means of secur- ing not only good health, but good looks. The appetite should nes er be wasted during the intervals be- tween ` meals on pastry, confection- ery, or any other tickler of the ap- petite, which gratifies the taste, but does not support the system. Exer- cise is, of course, essential to female beauty. -It animates the whole physical life, quickens the circula- tion of the blood, heightens the color, develops the growth,- and per- fects the form of each limb and the entire body. -It also gives elasticity and grace to every movement. - Music Boxes. The extent to which the manu- facture of music boxes is carried - on in Geneva, Switzerland, says a hate letter, is a Matter of surprise to Americans, and the magnificence of some of the instruments turned out exceeds anything that most persons have any idea of. The writer was shown an instrument that played thirty ;six tunes, with flute, bell; drum and castanet accompaniments. The cost of it complete was seven thousand francs; or about $1,400, the purchaser to have the privilege of naming twelve airs to be arrang- ed on two of the cylinders that were blank. , The instruments range in price from five francs to seven thous- and, The high priced ones are in elegant rosewood cases, bnt most of them are surprisingly low when we consider the prices at which the smaller boxes are sold in the United States. There is a: duty, however, of thirty per cent, which . accounts in some measure for the cost. A eight playing• tunes, with the FLOLJU F OCR! 4.

Occasionally they tobk the shape of cottages, temples, human beintgs, magnified crests of daiinios, trees -and flowers --almost anything that a lively mi- agination could suggest. The smoke figures, however, were the moat amusing. One of the most frequent- ly attempted was a cattle -fish, with a body of thick, fuliginous black, and arms of lighter hues. Of course the illusion was very brief, the wind not allowing the smoke to remain undis- turbed for more than a few seconds ; but while it lasted it was perfect. Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln. From a communication iu the Christian Register, written in jus- tice to the widow of the martyred President, we cut the following in- teresting paragi pll :— Her husband dearly loved her. It is the cruelest of all to take away that cron-n of glory from her. I chatted with him in the great East Room one evening, and noticed that he looked often at - bis wife. At length he laughed pleasantly and said, ' My wife i,, as handsome as when she was a girl, and 1, a poor nobody then, fell in love with her ; and what is more,' (he continued) ' 1 have never fallen out' He said this to me while the Marine Band was playing, at his order, his favorite march from. Faust. I shall cherish to my death the ,memory of his words, coming so un - occupy as much space ir. a parlor as an ordinary piano, though it might be taken fur an old styled sideboard. Tobacco and Swine. A writer in Our Monthly for Sep- tember tells a story of two well- known Southern clergymen, one of of whorl undertook to -rebuke the other for using the weed. Bvnther G.,' he exclaimed, with - out stopping to ask any other ques- tion, ' is it possible that you chew tobacco?' I roust confess I do,' the other quietly replied. . . Then I would quit it, sir !' the old gentleman e_ energetically continu- ed. • 'It is a very linclerieal prac- tice, and I must Say a very unclean- ly one. Tobacco ! Why sir, even a hog `would not chew it !' ' Father C.,' responded his amus- ed listener, ' do you chew tobacco ?' ' I? No, Sir !' he answered, gruf ' fly, with much indignation. 'Then pray, which is the most like the hog, you or I ?' The old doctor's fat sides shook with laughter as he said, ' Well, I have been fairly caught this time.' MONEY TO LOAN.
