A few amus ing examples will show that the conso nants are nejirl y as bad : B makes a road broad, turns the ear to a bear and Tom into a tomb. C makes lime climb, hanged changed, lever clever and transports a lever to clover. D turns a bear to beard, a crow to a crowd and make3 anger danger. F turns lower regions to flower re gions. G changes a son to a song and makes one gone. II changes eight into height. Jfi makes now know ami eyed keyed. L. transforms a pear into a iearl.

Spurns even to seven, makes hove shove, and word a sword, a pear a spear, makes slaughter to laughter, and curi ously changes having a hoe so shaving a shoe. T makes a bough bought, turns here tljT, alters one to tone, changes either to tether, and transforms the phrase "allow his own" to "tallow this town."

In one district it was discovered that there were five hundred and seventy faioilie?, none of whom occupied more tLan a single room. This was the case Zuroughout a dozen districts. In one room, twelve by thirteen feet, and sev en feet six inches high, eight persons were racked ; in another, only six and a half feet high, a man, his wife and five children. The worst feature of the overcrowding is the occupation of the same bed by two sets ef people during thf same night. Certain classes attend ing the theatres every night ballet dancers, supes, and the mob which is attached to a pantomime let their beds to market jeople, who are juBt ready to get up and go to work when the theat rical folks come home. Prom time to time raids are made upon objectionable lodging houses which fairly swarm with people; slums and courts and alleys are demolished right and left, and the in habitants of the surrounding neighbor hood rejoice that they are at last deliv ered from the plague which had so long vexed them ; but others are the worse for the exodus. The objectionable ones, with their wives and families, do not swnain without a lodging one single night; and of all things this is certain that they will "camp down" anew in a body, and in company with their own kind. Nor is it easy to see a way out of a difficulty which is daily growing mor formidable, as the number of the people increase yearly. Yajr rants. The vagrant population of Naples are called the lazzaroni. As a rule they have nod welling houses, but sleep every night in summer under porticos, piazzas, or any shelter they can find ; and in the winter or rainy time of the year, which lasts several weeks, the ram falling in torrents, they resort to the caverns un der Capo di Monte, where tVy sleep in ' crowds like sheep in a penfold. Those of them who have wives and children reside in the suburb of Naples is hut?, or in caverns, or chambers dug out ol the mountain. Some gain a livelihood by fishing, others in carrying burdens to and from the shipping; many walk about ihe streets ready to run on r rands, or to perform any labor in their power for a very small recompense. As they do not meet with constant employ ment their wages are not sufficient for their maintenance; but the deficiency is, in degree, supplied by the soup anJ bread which is distributed at the doors of the convents. Although there is so much poverty among the lower people, there is a great appearance of wealth among some of the great. The Neapol itan nobility are excessive fond of show and splendor. This appears ix the bril liancy of their equipages, the number of their attendants, the richness of their dress, and the grandeur of their titles. Expense and extravagance are in the eiftreme. Egyptian Legend. Sultan Hassan, wishing to see the world, and lay aside for a time the anx ieties and cares of royalty, committed the charge of his kingdom to his favor ite minister, and taking with him a large lilmount of treasure in money and jew els, visited several foreign countries in the character of a wealthy merchant, rieased with "his tour, and becoming in terested in the occupation he had as sumed as a disguise, he was absent much longer than he originally intend ed, and in the course of a few years greatly increased his already large stock of wealth. His protracted absence, how ever, proved a temptation too strong for the virtue of the viceroy, who, gradually forming for himself a party among the leading men of the country, at length communicated to the common people the intelligence that Sultan Hassan was no more, and quietly seated himself on the vacant throne. Sultan Hassan re turning shortly afterward from his pil grimage, and, fortunately for himself, still in disguise, learned, as he approach ed his capital, the news of his own death and the usurpation of his minister ; find ing, on further inquiry, the party of the usurper to be too strong to render an immediate disclosure prudent, he pre served his incognito, and soon became known in Cairo as the wealthiest of her nierphants nor did it excite any sur prise when he announced hig pious in tention of devoting a portion of hit e&ins to the erection of a cpaeioui pue. The work proo$e$$ wfitof Tinder the spur of the great merchant's gold, and, on its completion, be solicited the honor of the Sultan's presence at the ceremony of naming it. Anticipa ting the gratification of hearing hia own name bestowed UDon it, the usurper ac cepted the invitation and at the appoint ed hour the building was filled by him and his most attached adherents. The ceremony had duly proceeded to the time when it became necessary to gi ve the name. The chief moolah, turning to the supposed merchant, inquired what sho'd be its name. "Call it," he replied, "the mosque of Sultan Hassan." All stared at the men- tion of this name, and the questioner,as though he could not believe he heard aright, or to afford an opportunity of correcting what might be a mistake, re peated his demand. "Call it," again again cried he, 'the mosque of me. Sul tan Hassan ;" and throwing off his dis guise, the legitimate Sultan stood re vealed before his traitorous servant. He had no time for reflection; simul taneously with the discovery, numerous trap-doors leading to extensive vaults, which had been prepared for the pur pose, were flung open, and a multitude of armed men issuing from them, ter minated at once the reign and life of the usurper. His followers were min gled in the slaughter, and Sultan Has san was once more in possession of the throne of his fathers. Changes of a Century. Th nineteenth century has witness ed great discoveries and changes. In J SOU, Fulton took out the first pat ent for the invention of a steamboat. The first steamboats which made reg ular trips across the Atlantic Ocean were the Sirins and Great "Western in isao. The first public application to practi cal use or gas illumination was made in In lSl.'J the streets of London were for the first time lighted with gas. In lSl.'i, there was built in "Waltham, Mass., a mill, believed to have been the first in the world, which combined all the requirements of making finished cloth from the raw cotton. In 1700 there were only twenty-five post-offices in the whole country, and up to 3SS7 the rate of postage was twenty five cents for a letter sent over four hun dred miles. In ISO? wooden clocks began to be made by machinery. This urshered in the era of cheap clocks. About ihe year of 1S33 the first rail road of rny considerable length in the United States was constructed. In 1S40 the first experime nts in poho tography were made byDaguerre. About 1840 the first express business was established. The anthracite coal business may be said to have begun in 1820. In 1836 the patent for the invention of matches was granted. In 1845 the first telegram was sent. Steel pens were introduced for use in 1SC3. The first successful trial of a reaper took place in 1S33 In 1S40 Elias Howe obtained a patent for his first sewing machine. The first sucessful method of making vulcanized India rubber was patented m 1839. Pries badh. The Lion-Tamer. Driesbach, the lion-tamer, died on his Ohio farm en Wednesday, a poor but contented man. of 70 years. The news papers are relating many anecdotes con cerning him, and among them is that of his exhibition in this city, twenty years ago, when after a fight in a cage with a tiger, he was taken out covered with blood and apparently dreadfully injured. There were shrieks from the audience and much horror expressed, until a phyBician announced that his wounds were not dangerous. For a fortnight after, Driesbach appeared with his arm in a sling and his face covered with strips of plaster; then it was discovered that his wound3 were imaginary, the gore had come from a sponge filled with rose-pink, and the whole performance was nothing but a clever piece of advertising New York Tribune The Turks are nearly all armed with the Peaudy Henry rifle, which is said to be an extraordinarily well balanced arm, and highly effective, a few, how ever, still have the Snider.

We were told an amusing incident that happened in Chicago not long ago that certainly gives the lie to the state ment "that there's nothing new under the sun." As an episode in every day life, and as a bright and original idea, it is well worthy of our reader's atten tion. At 70 State street, Chicago, there is a gentleman doinsr business as a dealer in Surgical Instruments and Appli ances for the deformed, Sylvester S. JJllss. Among other things in his window are to be seen skulls and such like com modities, showine a devotion to anat omical science. This attracted the at tention of the subject of ouraiticle,who one day came into the store and exam ined skeletons, and finding one already wired and ready to be hung up, it was eagerly purchased, wrapped up and taken away. It seems there was a gen tleman living in the city of moderate means who owned a comfortable home, and had a wife and small family, and who whilst not being exactly rich wore good clothes himself and enjoyed life in a moderate wav, but unfortunately he had a host of friends and relatives who very frequently dropped on to him like locusts and thought nothing of paying him and family long visits, which made serious inroads on his means, and to make ends meet he was sorely taxed to find out how. An occasion soon hap pened which led him to an original method of getting rid of troublesome guests who weremo3tlyof thefemaleor der. He hud been attending some lec tures on anatomy, and in the course a skeleton on wire had been introduced, and the movements of the parts been shown automatically, which gave him an original idea on the subject which so much perplexed him, and he sought our friend Bliss for a mannikin. The sequel transpired by the gentleman, who shall be nameless, calling at 70 State street, and with a smiling face saying: "Bv jove the skeleton worked like a charm," and then the purpose of te purchase and the result was disclosed. It seems our friend had taken the skeleton home, and used to surrepti tiously hang it in the closet of the guest charoler where it was soon discovered and the result was pierceing screams hysterics and the immediate departure of the visitor. Though at first he con gratulated himself on his new method of economy he found he had to dispose of the skeleton in order to retain his help and stop the panic caused in his own family, so it now adonis the rooms of a student at Rush Medical College. Any one calling on SYLVESTER S. BLISS, at 70 State street, will get additional details and have an opportunity of see ing his fine display of Surgical Instru ments and Appliances for the deformed orjlielpless. See advertisement in this paper. Chicago Alliance. IohIc in (Jhicagro. To anv one who has closely watched the his tory of Chicaeo, it must he manifest that with her various other polite improvements, there has been a growing interest in aud love for music Not many years ago it was the com plaint of musical'manaers that the people of this city were apathetic; that nothing could arouse them to appreciation of musieaf efforts. Impressarios, with the success won hy grand comjKwitions magnificently portrayed in other cities, sought this, sattefie'd that ai last some thing had ieeii discovered that would awaken enthusiasm, hut found they were playing to icebergs, and left in despair. But contrast that day with the present, and one readily see6 the cultivation of a taste that has taken etronsr hold in the affections of the jKioplc. And with this cultivation ha6 come a demand for improved musical instruments. The bea the market affords is demanded, and the man who has no music in his soul, who pays no attention to such things, would be as tounded could he know the extenfbf the trade in all kinds of musical instruments, especially pianos, that has grown up in Chicago within a comparatively short time. W ith the impetus given the trade by the cle mandsof the people, and their stolid indiffer ence to inferior manufacture, came a sturdy competition among dealers, all with their eyes fixed on one goal perfection. Nothing below that standard would bo accepted, and the question was, which should reach that point liret. Some, relying upon the reputation of well-known makers, grasped eagerly at the best efforts of those makers, while others with broader views, tried every experiment offered, in the hope that the fortune of genius would put the prize wltuin their reacn. iiut ail iaueu unui tne nuroaucuon oi me Mathusbek piano, which took the musical world by storm, and immediately assumed the position of leader in the market "of musical in struments The Inventor, after years of care ful and patient study and labor, had mastered the defects of all other pianos, and had pro duced one avoiding all defects, and as near lerfection as human agency can create. By a peculiar distribution of the strings, he reliev ed the frame ot that tension to which it had long been subjected. By the introduction of the linear instead of the curved bridge, he strengthened the instrument, and by strength ening the iron frame, ke produced a piano as durable as steel, and In tone and volume the superior of any instrument ever made. A thousand testimonials of the superiority of this piano exist, of which the following let ter to an inquirer after the best Instrument is a lair specimen: " Sax Francisco. Sept. 23, 1875. Dear Sir: For many years, I, like many others, thought Steinwavwasthe only maker of a really first class piano, and have used the Steinway for veare in my home. When I first beam the Matbnshek,I confess it pleased me more than any other piano I had heard, and the result was, I ezchaaged my Steinway for a Mattra 6hek Orchestral. It has been tuned onceon the day of its purchase, viz: April 14, 1874. and gives my family, music-loving people and critics perfect satisfaction. It is with pleasure I recommend this make as having power and tone certainly better than any I have ever seen. isning you success, l am, aear sir, vours respectf ullv, "'E.M.

Nature, in her luxuriance, has clothed the hills and the dales with herb and shrub, whose occult natures merely require the earnest ap plication of the scienUflc and inquiring mind to reveal their curative properties, for in the vegetable world a kindly providence has plac ed Scaling for all nations. The only specifics for any disease yet discovered are vegetable in their nature, and while quinine has been accepted as the only remedy for one class, the extract of the buchu plant is rapidly taking its place as a sovereign remedy for other of those Ills which afillct humanity. The type of disease to which it is remedial is a broad one, and its manifestations are legion, but It may be stated in general terms that all diseases of the urinary organs, whether caused y cli mate, irregularity, or self-generated, submit at once to the operation of Its power. Helm bold's Buchu for all such complaints, is tne result of long research, and is acknowledged superior to all other preparations. Another Strike.
