at 11 a. m.
"Fridav evening a telegram was sent to
the American consulate, announcing: his ar

dred and two guns were tired from the forts
ot tho Dardanelles as the procession of
naval steamers moved gracefully along.
The .Sultan aont his finest steamers to meet
the Emperor. I was fortunate enoni;h to bo
on a steamer at the time the Saltan's im
mense yacht passed tho draw-bridgo. Tho
deck was almost full of fine-looking official.
-Last night we were sitting very quietly
in the othce. when John came running in.
almost breathless, saying. The Emperor is
coming.' We reached the window in time
to see thirty or forty ofiicials on horseback
cleariug the street, when shortly afterward
came the Emperor and Empress, bowing to
the Tight and left to the wilutes of the thou
sands that had gathered at a moment's
notice. They were driven to Yildez Palace,
where a banquet of 13) covers was given by
the bnltan to their majesties and anito, a
few of the foieign embassadors, minister!?,
beys and pashas.
The excitement on the street all night
loug was so great that we were prevented
from sleeping much of the time; even Elsio
vas disturbed. She kept us in good humor
by lvmg quiet and trying her host to talk.
Early this morning. Joe heard tho camels'
lelU and rushed us to the windows in time
to see two caravans pass. They are always
tied to a donkey for a leader. Huge bas
kets, tilled with charcoal, on either side,
formed their burden. These baskets are
Mipported by straps across their humps.
The men were busy at an early hour,
spreading sand on tho street. We hurried
and ate our breakfast, left the beds un
made, the table standing: came up in the
ollice and planted ourselves in the bay
winaow to watch the people of almost
every nation, wearing different costumes,
surging to and fro, all intent on catching a
glimpse of Germany's ruler. At about half
put 9 o'clock the military began to
appear in large squads. They were sta
tioned at various intervals in tho street, a
rqnad beinir placed in front of tho consulate.
Eefore 10 a clock the street was ono jam of
humanity. At about half-past 10 the trum
peter above us sounded the approach of
loyalty. This was caught up by other
trumpets and echoed along the line to the
ehnrch to which the Emperor and suite
were going to worship. The royal suite
was preceded by a body of gen-d'annes who
came clattering down, very materially as
sisting the soldiers, who had had a hard
time keeping the streets clear. We were
amused at the policemen trying to get the
dogs out of sight. They would club and
heat them, and try to get them on the sido
streets. A poor, ragged man was taken by
a policeman to a side street, given a shove
and a kick, and sent ont of sight. An old
woman with a long cloak, dingy bonnet
and bundle 011 her arm was quickly dis
patched up an alley. The first carriage con
tained tho Emperor and Empress, with
Prince Henry and the Duke of Mecklenberg.
The Kaiser wore the common military uni
form. The Empress was dressed in a charm
ing costume of pale, sage-green silk, wrap
of palo old-gold satin, trimmed in either
white beads or pearls, white bonnet, and
she carried a lovely white lace parasol.
Three aids-de-camp rode next, wcariug uni
forms with red hanging sleeves in Albanian
f ishion. the butts o their guns resting on
their saddles. In the second carriage were
two ladies of honor of the Em press and two
grand marshals of the court ot the Em ueror.
Third carnage. Count Herb rt Ilismarck
and other members of their Majesty's suite,
with equeries riding on either side
of their carriages. Tho grand pro-
cssion was closed. iy a regiment
of lancers riding on rpleudid iron gray
Arabian hordes, their carbines hanging
f roni tho horns of the Middles. With the
left hand they managed the horse, in their
riubtthey carried a large, wooden spear,
litteea feet long, with a bright steel point
alxmt eighteen inches long. The butt end
of the spear rested on the right foot, and
tiuur the point was a small red streamer,
on which was tho crescent of the prophet.
J t was a glorious sight to sop this tine body
of men. mounted upon as beautiful horses
as Arabia alono can produce, with the
bright steel points Hushing in the sunlight,
tho streamers waving in the air. and all
rising and falling with thi
motion of the horses. The Consul
l.vnoral said it reminded him of
t h history of the crusades, and tho old
Knights Templars goiug to battle. Tho
whole cortege swept by in about a minute,
and while 1 havo written more about it
than you may enjoy . reading, I am well
aware that 1 have not told the tenth part
of what we saw. The variety of tongues,
faces, costumes and manners was as great
a sight as the royalty itself. Oue thing
struck me with great force. The good
manners and nature of tha crowd. There
wns estimated to be 1OU.U00 people on the
Grand line, and in all that crowd 1 did not
fcoe a person under the iutlneiico of liquor.
In about an hour the fcervkeaat the Ger
man Lutheran Church wcro dismissed, and
the procession returned in the same order
as described before.
Joe, your papa and myself went with Mr.
Dcrnetriad a and the cavasse this afternoon,
and visited the Kaiser and Uohenollern,
tlie ships the Emperorand Empress came in
from Athens. Too Kaiser is an immense
man-of-war, filled with larro cinnou and
guns. Seven hundred and titty men are on
tho vessel. It carries twenty-four huge
guns, many cf which shoot balls that weigh
MX) pound. They were made by the famous
cun-niakcr. Krupp. Alter leaving the
Kaiser we went in our caiquo to the llohen
7ollern. We presented our ollicial card
and were shown over this magniiirent
hip by a nid-shipuian. T helloheuzollrrn
is the imperial yacht of Germany, and is
fitted up iu a style of luxury surpassing
anything I ever saw. We visited first the
receptioni-riKm. From there we went into
the music-room, then proceeded to the bath,
bed and library rooms of the Emperor.
T hen we went to the reading-room an d bed
room of tho Empress. Tho halis were hung
in a white tapestry, covered in moss rose
buds. It was furnished with a magniticent
bed-rooru set of light wood. You would
have 1 cen delighted with a dark-red silk
idtr-drn comfort that covered the Led.
A foldi-d comtortof plush, bordered witu
brocadt-d siik. lay at the foot. 'J he walls
of tin dinmg-roo'n were elegantly carved
wood, adorned with pictures of Germany's
great men, ISismartk and Yon Moltkc. Tho
table cover was of dr.b plush. The whdo
hip was lighted bv electric lights. Wc re
turned at n o'clock and found tlie Grand
Eue ablaze with illuminations. Many de
signs are quite handsome, and often are to
be seen tlie star and creseent in gas jets.
We havo not been to the YiMez Palace
grounds this evening, but the 1! cninatmns
there are said to be gorgeous. The Turkish
and German war vessels in the harbor -arc
covered with electric lights. The Kaiser
has tho wold "Long Live tin? Sultan," m

IIUful Eaters.
YontiYa Companion.
There is no end of the strange notions
'cherished by some people. Men who, in all
other respects, are coarse and vulgar almost
beyond endurance, will sometimes be. so
lueamish in one or two minor particulars
that it is a constant trial of patience to live
"with thcni. An English traveler in Abys
finii, for example, draws the following
picture of his sntlerings at meal-time:
In this country it is considered unbecom
ing for persons to eat in public as at a pic
ric, for instance, or in a tavern. When at
home, the people take their nieaN within a
lenc, m as not to be overlooked; and when
on a journey several of the attendant arc
made to hold up a cloth before them, with
their bacKs turned to iho.ie who are .ating.

than they directed some of the people to
extend their loose rob-s in or:er to screeu

i r:i:cu the task were always careful to
turn their faces awa5' from ns. As most of
the garments thus opened out for our se
clusion had not been washed for months.
if they had ever been, the reader's imagiu-
ation may be left to conceive the onor
which surrounded us on these occasions.
Hut even if they had been washed ouly the
day before, the smell of tho rancid butter
with which the natives besmear their heads
would have sufficed to render any aucli
enrtain almost intolerable.
UNIQUE PARISIAN RESTAURANTS.
rrovlilon for Sporting-Men and Absent-
Minded Guests.
New York Tribune.
"Talk about chem restaurants." said a
New Yorker who bad just returned from
tne French Exposition last inoutn, "we
don't pcem to havo anything here to tonch
one or two I saw in Pans when 1 was there.
1 know wo can do prettv well in that lino
down in Mott street, perhaps, but I am suro
that these I sneak of take the cake. Ihey
are in the poorest part of the city, of course,
and their customers are of the doubtful
well, no, not doubtful nt all, but rather de
cidedly hhady class of the population, who
gather in there after the theaters close at
night and everybody from whom they can
beg with any chance of profit has gone
home.
"The arrangements and the service arc
qnite fcimple. They consist of one immense
iron pot. filled with a conglomerate stew of
all sorts of odds and ends of food picked up
at the refuse-baskets of the big hotels and
restaurants, and a long-handled iron fork.
The huugry customer .advances to the pot
and pays ono sou to the landlord, who
hands him a fork. Taking a long snift' of
the appetizing (?) steam which rises front
the cauldron, he plunges tho fork into tho
mass and withdraws it once no more. If
he stabs anything with the folk and brings
it to the surface, the morsel is his: if he gets
nothing which sometimes happeus he has
no redress, but must pay another sou for
another plunge or go liungr'. The experi
ment is always watched breathlessly by
the other customers, and if the lucky fish
erman brings up a substantial piece of meat
he is congratulated, if he brings up only a
potato or a bit of eatTot, which more fre
quently happens, the stinginess of the mas
ter of the cnisine is freely commented on
and doubts are even expressed of the exist
ence of any more meat at all in the stew,
but if a luckless wight brings up nothing
at all, he is greeted with a chorus of laugh
ter and derisive remarks, and is advised to
1111 himself up with a smell of the vapor.
'Another restaurant which I visited
there." continued the narrator, "was estab
lished by charitable people for the express
use of tho outcasts of soeiet', and a much
more substantial meal is given there for a
sou than at the place I have just described.
Therefore it is more popular among those
of the criminal classes who aro not in dan
ger of immediate arrest hy the police and
can afford to come out of their hiding-places
lung enough to eat. If you did not Know
the placo to bo the resort of thieves, yon
would soon begin to suspect it. Nothing
about the place is movable. The tables
and benches aro screwed to the floor, the
iron basins from which the food is eatrn
are sunken into the tables and screwed
down at tho edges. . The spoons, knives,
cups and forks aro also secured b3" short
chains to the tables, and, as the food is al
ready seasoned, no pepper or salt castors
are provided.
T he only 1-sou dish, however, is a thick
broth or soup. A strapping big woman
carries it about the room to the customers
iu a sort of rubber bag, which she holds un
der her arm and uses for all the world
like a Scotchman's bag-pipes. The bag is
provided with a long neck, which ends in a
nozzle. The woman lowers the nozzle into
the basin before the customer, and when
she gives tho bag under her arm a squeeze
with her elbow out squirts the broth, and
she controls the quantity by gripping the
long neck, giving a one-sou dish or a two
sou dish at will. ,
"While we were looking on tho attendant
got intoadispato with ono ot her custom
ers, a stranger to the place, a truculent
looking ex-convict, about the quantity of
broth she had placed before him for two
sous. He asserted that it was not worth
more than one sou, nnd nobody should
make him pay more for it. He threw down
his one sou with an oath, and took up his
spoon to eat. Quickly aud quietly the at
tendent lowered the loug neck into his
soup-basin, withdrew the pressure of her
elbow from the bag under her arm, and
with an audible suck half the broth was
siphoned back into tho bag iu a jiffy from
under the growler' very nose.
The surprise of that ex-convict was only
equaled by our own."

JOSEPn JKFFERSOX ON SNORING.
Unpleasant Recollections of Stage-Coach
Travel In the Early Days.
December Century.
A short way from town there was a long
hill up which the horses toiled, so this gavo
the inmates of the coach timo to settlo
themselves down for a quiet nap. One
snore after another announced the accom
plishment of this feat, and in a few min
utes at least six of the nine passengers
were oblivious of their miserabh? condition.
1 never before had so lino an opportunity
to stndy the philosophy of snoring. A
large, tat mail opposite me had a short,
angry snore; at ono time he snored so loud
that he woke himself np, and he had the
impudence to glare about at the company
as though he hoped that they would not
make that noise again. The old lady who
was crushing me np in the corner snored
deeply and contentedly. Some one oft in a
dark comer, whom I could not see, had a
gonial way oflioiningiu, as though he snored
merely to oblige the passengers; but the
grand, original musician of the
Earty sat opposite me. I never
eard anything approaching him.
either for quality or for compass. It was a
back-act iou snore that began in a bold
agitato movement, suddenly brought up
with a jerk, and terminated in a low
whistle. As the coach steadilv moved up
tho hill the band wa in full play. The
summit gained, there was a sharp crack of
the whip the horses started, and as every
body was jerked violently backward, the
snoring gave place to oaths and pshaws
nnd jolting about. As soon, however, as
we got used to this sensation, the chorus
began again; and. as 1 was unite overcome
and tired, 1 joined in until the coach came
to a full stop at the stable where the horses
were to be changed. The sun now rose and
came in at all sorts of places, wakiug and
blinding everybody. What a discontented
and nnhappy lot we were! and how we all
hated one another!
Ilreakfast at last! Ah. hot cofiVe, ham
and eggs, and buckwheat cakes! The meal
was not half over before we were a band of
brothels. We could not do enough for one
another, and all was harmony and peace.
Of course, under these conditions we be
came more familiar, and one vied with an
other in making the time pass agreeably."

An Extract from tlie Autobiography of
Joseph Jefferson,
rocenber Cf ntnrr.
I had for the last yenrat least been buffet
ing about in barns and tents, so that any
thing like a legitimate production wns a
great treat. Uut my chief interest on this
occasion was centered iu the farce, ami ny
thoughts were dwelling on the approach
ing efforts of the rising young roiuedi.in
and why not? Was I not a rising young
comedian myself? I certainly had reached
that height iu my own estimation, nt least,
and 1 felt a burning desire that a time
should como when so:i:e newspaper would

him the handsomest low comedian 1 had
overseen. He had a neat, dapper little figure,
and a face full of lively expression. His
audience was with him from first to last,
his effective style and great How of spirits
capturing them, and myself, too though I
must confess that I had a hard strugulo
even inwardly to acknowledge it.
As I look hack and call to mind tho slight
touch of envy 1 felt that uight, I am afraid
that I had hoped to see something uot quite
so good, ur.d was a little annoyed to hud
him such a capital actor: iti hort. I experi
enced those unpleasant twinges of jealousy
that will creep over us during the moments
when we are not at our best though thee

TIIE GREATEST OF THE INDIANS.
A Mohawk Chief Who Preached the Gospel
of I'eace nnd Fought I.Ike Savage.
JoLn Fhke. ia iHcciuhcr Atlantic.
In the summer of 17T8 this horrible border
warfare became the most tonspicuous feat
lire of tho struggle, and has afforded
themes for poetry aud romance, in which
thelignresof the principil actors are seen
iu a lurid light. One of these figures is of
such importance as to deserve especial
mention. Joseph Brant, or Thayendanegea,
waspeihups the greatest Indian of whom
we have any knowledge; certainly tho
history of the red men presents no
more many-sided and interesting char
acter. A pure-blooded Mohawk, de
scended from a line of distinguished
sachems, in early boyhood lie became a
favorite with Sir William Johnson, and
the laughing black eyes of his handsome
sister, Molly lirant. so fascinated the rongh
baronet that he took her to Johnson Hall
as his wife, after the Indian fashion. Sir
Wilitam believed that Indians could bo
tamed and taught the arts of civilized life,
and he labored with great energy, and not
without some success., iu this ditlicult task.
Tho young Thayendanegea was sent to bo
educated at the school in Lebanon, Conn.,
which was afterwards transferred to New
Hampshire and developed into Dart
mouth College. At tins school ho
not only became expert in the
uso of the English language, in which
he learned to write with elegance and force,
but he also acquired some inkling of gen
eral literature and history. He became a
member of the Episcopal Church, and after
leaving school he was for some timo en
gaged in missionary work among tho Mo
hawks, and translated the Prayer-book and
farts of the New Testament iuto his native
anguage. He was a man of earnest :.nd
serious character, and his devotion to the
church endured throughout his life. Some
vears after the peace of tho first
Episcopal church ever built iu Upper Can
ada was erected by Joseph Brant, from
funds which he had collected for the pur
poso while on a visit to England. I'nt
with this character of devout missionary
and earnest student, Thayendanegea com
bined, in curious contrast, the attributes of
an Iroquois war-chief developed to the
highest degree of elliciency. There was no
accomplishment prized by Indian braves in
which he did not outshine all his fcilows.
He was early called to take the war-path.
In the fierce struggle with Poutiac he
fought with great distinction on the En
glish side, and about the beginning of tho
war of independence he bea:u principal
war-chief of the Iroquois confederacy.
It was the most trying time that had ever
come to these haughty lords of the wilder
ness, and' called-lor all the valor and
diplomacy which they could summon.
Brant was equal to t be occasion, and no
chieftain ever fought a losing cause with
greater spirit than he. We havo seen how,
at Oriskany, he came near turning the scalo
against us in one of the most critical mo
ments of a great campaign. From the St.
Lawrence to, the Susquehanna his uame be
came a name of terror. Equally skillful
and zealous, now in planning the silent
night march' and deadly ambush, now
iu preaching the gospel of peace, ho re
minds one of some tiewty reclaimed Frisian
or Norman warrior of theCarlovmgian age.
But in the eighteenth century the incon
gruity is more striking than in the tenth,
in so far as the traits of the barb.irians are
morevividlv projected against the back
ground of a higher civilization. It isoddto
think of Thavendanegea. who could outycll
any of his tribe on the battle-field, sit
ting at table with Burke aud Sheridan,
aud behaving with the modest grace of
an English gentleman. The tincture of
civilization he had acquired, moreover, was1
not wholly superficial. Though engaged
in many a murderous attack, his conduct
was not marked by the ferocity so charac
acteiistic to the Iroquois. Though he some
times approved the slaying of prisoners on
the ground of public policy, ho was flatly
opposed to toTtnre, and never would allow
it. He often went out of his way to rescue
women and children from the tomahawk,
and the instances of his magnanimity
toward suppliant enemies were very nu
merous. THE AMERICAN GIKl.
She Interests Ml Amelia II. Edwards More
Than Anything in This Country.
New Ycrk Mail and Exrreas.
Miss Amelia B. Edwards has accepted
very few social courtesies since her arrival
in this country by reason of ;n obstinate
cold contracted on the voyage, which
threatened to result in serious bronchial
difliculties. She did. however, sutler be
fore leaving Brooklyn one reception to bo
given in her honor and another, which was
tendered by the Woman's Club, a sister or
ganization to Sorosis, was postponed and
not abandoned. Miss Edwards is quite
slender in figure and wears heavy black
silks, folding herself, when not eugaged in
animated conversation, in a voluminous
wrap made from a costly India shawl.
Her eyes are grey and rather deep set,
and her face is all intellect above and all
sensibility below, and the broad, high
forehead, made yet broader and higher
1)3' the brushing back of the
silvery hair, scarcely eeeming ot first
to harmonize with tho mouth, which is un
usually mobile and expressive, softening in
a world of points and curves. Tho upper
part of the face is masculine in its Strength
aud clear-cut definition; the lower partis
extremely feminine. The forehead belongs
to the Egyptologist and traveler, the mouth
to the artist whom Cruikshank wished to
take as an apprentice, aud tho musician
whose compositions began to attract at
tention at eighteen. Miss Edwards is
above medium height, yet without a tall"
appearance; her complexion is fresh, kept
ho by ontdoor exercise, and phe is eas3 of
approach and straightforward and ani
mated iu conversation. Her Egyptian en
thusiasm is so genuino and absorbing I
had almost written so naive as to affect
the most indifferent by its contagion.
When she begins to describe to you the un
covering of the first mound opened by
the Egyptian Exploration, Society,
the one supposed by Lepsius to be
tho remains of one of tho two
treasure cities mentioned in Genesis ns built
by the children of Israel for the Egyptian
Kings, your heart goes down like a lead
plummet as she solemnly announces. "It
was not Kanu-ses," and then rebounds
liko a rubber ball or a gas balloon as she
triumphantly concludes, "hut it was
Pi thorn!" First movement adagio, second
allegro. Miss Edwards can positively mako
you hate tho Pharaoh of tho oppression,
not indeed becanse he oppressed any body,
but because he effaced inscriptions, and
f ut in the hieroglyphics of his own name,
hit consider the gift in this day of worn-
out sensations possessed by anybody who
can inspire so ronust a sentiment as bate
for anything or person in any bosom.
"What interests you most in this coun

A RATTLE-SCAR RED DUO.
Chased Cannon Halls with the Army of the
Potomac and Died Like a Hero.
Brooklyn Ir-'iclo.
An interesting dog story was related by
General Joe Bartlett, to some friends iu
Washington, not many days ago. The
canine was named Budge, and he followed
the army of the Potomac dining the early
years of tho war. Budge had a habit of
chasing cannon balls, aud while thus en
gaged, during a battle, he lost one of his
logs. He was left on the Held, the men be
ing too busy to care for him, but some days
afterward he limped into camp. A surgeon
of the Tweuty-neyenth New Vork fixed up
t!i wtiltiili ?ltil ill th i nnrwn nf tifii it
J healed. Budge was all through the penin-
rm:i lump-UK", hum uuiiii me auvaiur
and retreat he hobbled along, aud
during engagements followed his favorite
pastime chasing cannon balls and
shells. Nothing could abate his zeal in
that direction. Budge followed the troops
back to Washington, took part in tho sec
ond battlo of Bull Kuu. the battle of South
Mountain, and then hobbled along uutil he
reached Antietam. Jn the battle of the
second day Budge chose to take part in the
conllict on our right, and seemed to enjoy
it. He was very busy that day, and had
got so that he could make good time on
three legs. He had plenty of balls ami
shells to look after, too. Wheu the light
was over, along in the afternoon. Budge
was missing. The next morning, in passing
through the terrible corn-ti hl in search of
tho dead and wounded, some of the boys
rat across the lifeless body of old Budge,
and by his side was the body of a wounded
member of tin? brigade who'haJ been in the
liahit of feeding him. Budge, lie said, re
mained with him when he fell, and when
the rebels swept through the ccrn-lield in
one of the numerous charges made. Bud go
defended him against what he knew was
tho uSbault of au cucmy, aud was shot
down, loyal to the last to the causp, the old
flag and the Constitution and the Union,
too, if j-ou please, if he was nothing but a
dog.

A GLIMPSE OF GLADSTONE.
How the "Grand Old 3Lm" Impresed a
New Yorker.
Netr York Timet.
A New Y'orkrr thus describes his first
glimpse of (il.-uistonc:
'On a raw afternoon lato in October I
was standing on a street corner in the lit
tle village of Saltney. a suburb of Chester,
with GevcTal hundred men, women and
children, allot whom were looking up the
long avenue that led to the city.. Tho
houses were decorated with buutiug, and
across tho street hung a banner "Welcome
toSaltney." A shont suddenly went up
from the crowd as a carriage with a single
horse appeared at tho cud of the avenue.
A coachman in a long white overcoat sat
on the box; there was no footman. Both
coachman and horse seemed accustomed to
the Babel of 'hnrr:ih.f. and the waving of
hats aud dags that assailed the carriage
from each side as it passed along,
'The top of the carrriago wns thrown
back, and in the back seat, alone, sat Glad
stone, who hail come to this place to per
form tho 'neighborly duty7 of opening a free
library for workingmen. "With hishatinhis
hand the venerable statesman was bowing
and smiling to even one. The first thing
that struck me was the keen, quick glance
of his eye, which seemed to take in every
thing. As he stepped from the carriage I
was surprised to tee how erect he stood.
with what vigor he walked to the com
mittee-rooms. 1 was prepared to see some-
tuing paiatiai in tne nan wnere me auaress
was to bo delivered by hearing an old
Welshman say. I tell you. its tine inside.'
My disappointment can be imagined when
I entered a canvas tenr, with sawdust floor
and hard, wooden benches, while the two
ends were left open, and through them tho
wind blew a small hurricane, chilling us to
tho marrow. The rostrum was raised to
about the level of tho chairs, and besides
Mr. . E. Gladstone and tho dignitaries of
the place, the statesman's son. who is rector
at Ha warden, and his wife were seated on
the putlorm. 1 could not help feeling
what an outrage it was to ask a man in his
eightieth year to speak in a place cold
enough to endanger the health of a stronger
person.
The exercises opened by the presenta
tion of anaddress written by a working
man and bound in hlno watered si Be.
When Mr. Gladstone rose to speak, his
frame, which is almost massive, seemed to
defy the inclemency of the place. When
ho commenced speaking he grasped the
lapels of his coat in an awkward manner
and hesitated more than you would expect
in such a veteran of parliamentary debate.
But as he grew more earnest all appear
ance of awkwardness passed away, there
was no delay for choice of words, and the
audience listened spell-bound. He had a
peculiar way of drawing back the corners
of his mouth just before beginning .to
speak, as if he were trying to get a pur
chase upon the 82nt?nce ho was commenc
ing. Whenever he made a humorous point
the Rmile would linger on his face but for a
moment. He spoke with intense, almost
tierce, earnestuess throughout the address,
and during the hour apd a half tlat he
talked there was 1.0 sign of breaking in his
voice, which was remarkably clear for a
man of his age. After tho style of an En
glish audience satisfaction was expressed
by llear! hear!'
"Soon after this we visited Hawarden
and met Gladstone walking in the park.
He greeted us with a cordial handshake,
and spoke pleasantly of tho many American
pilgrims who aunualiy visit his country -teatw"
CI1EERFULNESS AND DIGESTION.
The Couditlon of Mind Has a Strong Influ
ence on the Physical State.
Youth's Companion. "
Tho saying "Laugh and grow fat" ismoro
than a mere apothegm; it is based upon a
profound moral and physiological truth
tho close connection between a cheerful
miud aud -a souiid hotly.
Ask any observing man. and he will tell
yon that the evidence of this intimate re
Ia'tionship is plainly stamped on every face
ho meets. Ho sees tho wan countenance,
the dull eye, the leaden color alike in tho
deuizeu of tho slums aud in the listless
occupant of fortune's carriage. If helooks
deeper thn the surface, and asks why this
is so, he sees in each a restless, gloomy
mind; oue, perhaps, bowed down by grind
ing poverty, the other still more depressed
by the weight, of riches.
, Ask tho physvogist., and hq will assure
you that there is between tho nerves of the
stomach and the brain a connection easy to
trace, but impossible to explain. Let but
a savory odor reach the nostrils, and all at
oace, along the whole digestive tract, there
will be distiPed. iu a way which no one yet
fully understands, tlie juices of digestion.
Cut these nerves and instantly the process
es of nature's laboratory cease.
The nervous energy, roused by tho pleas
ant odor, acts upou the cells of the brain,
and these send, in turn, messages to those
other cells of mouth and stomach which se
crete the needed products. It is plain
enough, thercfole, that to insure a perfect
carrying out of all these various actions
there must exist not only healthy nerves,
but healthy nervous centers.
Ask the moralist, nnd ho will answer that
only in the most perfect physical health can
we obtain the highest moral conditiou.
Christianity, the perfect moral system, in
culcates cheerfulness, it is a Christian
duty to care for the spiritual and moral
health; it is no less a duty to care for the
physical health. Each affects the other.
ami without moral well-being physical
h"altli is impossible.
Cheerfulness, then, is natural. It is an
absence of disease; it is moral health. Mol
ancholv is disease; and not only that, bnt
from tho fact that it is an affection of the
nervous mechanism, it breeds disease in
other parts of the body.
There i found physiological warrant.
therefore, for tho ancient custom of feast
iug on happy days, and it is well to remeni
her. especially amid tho festivities of

which, in a general way, "doeth good like a

gestion.

covered on both sides with pink satin or
any color preferred over a thin layer of
wadding placed between the satin and the
fan, and a narrow satin ruche is placed
around the edge. The front of the pocket
has a piece of cardboard for u foundation,
curved slightly for the upper edge. This is
covered with plush on tho front and lined
with satin ou the iuside. A satin rovers is
turned down for the upper edge, which is
embroidered in a Japanese design with col

may be gilded or left natural, as desired.
Another wall-pocket can bo made with

THE RUSSIAN KNOUT.
Its Ue Was Abolished by Nicholas and a
Worse runlfthment Substituted.
y'dinburgh Review.
With this horrible instrument an experi
enced extcutiouet could iusure the death of
tho victim in a vry few strokes, and when
a sentence was passed ordering the inllic
tion of a largo number it. wras so perfectly
understood what was intended that in such
cases the executiouer was froquentlj bribed
by the culprit or his friends to exert his
whoie art so as the more qnickly to releaso
him froin4he torture. So, again, wheu the
Emperorvicholas, anxious to clear his
country frm the reproach of being tho
"land of the knout" to Wc3tern eyes, pomp
ously proclaimed its abolition, he was care
ful to retain the power of inflicting corporal
punishment in a manner compared with
which the knout itself was merciful. The'
knout could compass the death of its victim
with some half doen strokes, but, before
the same eud could be attained by
its substitute, tho slick, it was impossible
to say how many blows might not be re
quired. An eye-witness of one of these ex
ecutions has described it as being more hid
eous than anything that could be conceived.
The criminal having been convitecl of the
deliberate murder of one of the Emperor's
Ministers, he well deserved to die, and it
was determined that die he should; but
capital punishment and the knout had both
been abolished: so, in order to attain the
eud in view, the wretched man was sen
tenced to 8,000 blows of the stick, which no
human being could receive and live. The
execution took place in the public hay mar
ket: and when, after bearing 1.400 or 1,500
blows, tho victim fell, au unconscious mass
of bleeding flesh, he was bundled into an
ordinary peasant's hay cart, and, with
pieces of hay sticking into his gaping
wounds, covered over with some rough
sacks, he was jolted off" to the hospital and
never heard of again. The surgeons were
not likely to be anxious to cure a man
whose death they knew to he intended, and
even a feeling of humanity may have pre
vented them from wishing to recall a poor
wretch to life ouly to enable him to under
go further torture till he should bo released
by death.
YvHO WOULD BE A CZAR?
Uneasy, Indeed, Is the Read Wearing the
Crown of All the Ruslas.
London Truth.
The Emperor of Russia is in a state of
panic which can neither be imagined nor
described. It was given out that he would
be the goest of the German Emperor at the
Marble Palace, Potsdam, and when all
kinds of expensive preparations had been
made there, he derided that he would be
safer in Berlin, and a larto sum was ex
pended in arranging for-'his reception at
theSchloss. Finally, only ono day before
the Emptior arrived. Count Schouvalott
received a telegram from Copenhagen
to intimate that his Majesty would
alight at the Bussian embassy, ami
the message was quickly followed by the
arrival of tho imperial workmen, seven in
number, who now go in advance of the Em
peror whenever and wherever he travels.
There are two carpenters, two masons, two
locksmiths and a foreman. They most
carefully examine th chimneys, locks.
Hooting, walls and furniture of the house
which tho Emperor is to occupy, and his
own npaitmeuts are subjected to a most
rigorous search. The chimneys are objects
oi spi-cial attention, and every Hue which
le:;d to a room which the Emneior is
likely to enter is thoroughly barred,' both
tap and bottom, and, as if these precau
tions were not suOicient, police a gents front
St. Petersburg patrol the loof both night
aud day.
Both in appearance and in manner the
Emperor has become a Muscovite of the old
Cossacktype. He is a colossal figure, being
a giant both in height and in girth, qnite
bald, with a fat nose, an immense sweeping
mustache and a stupendous beard, which
Hows over his chest. I learn that ho has
been both infuriated and terrified by tho
accident to thi Shah's special tram,
the official report on which disaster was
laid before hint when lie reached St. Peters
burg. The embankment along which the
train was running simply collapsed, the ac
cident being an exact repetition ot the one
which befell the imperial train at Borki
last year, and the Emperor is now con
vinced that all the Kusian railways are
rotten, so that, in the event of war. there
would be a complete failnre in the trans
port arrangements, nnd if the railways are
all wrong, his Majesty justifiably concludes
that probably he would find his army and
navy in a similar condition when tho timo
of trial arrives.
The Emperor is. as I havo often beforo
remarked, in constant dread of asi,vdua
tion, und this utate of ever-pre.seut fear,
added to the hereditary melancholy of the
Romanoff tamilv, has so utterly shattered
his nerves that for day together he is prac
tically not responsible for his action. Ho
smokes incessantly, and not onlv endeavors
to sustain his spirits by copious Illations of
champagne and brandy, but of lato he has
taken to drugging himself with chloral.
By the way, the Shah is so thoroughly
convinced that the accident to his train was
a cunning plot devised for his destruction
that since his return to Teheran he has re
fused to receive I'rince Dolgorouki, tho
Russian minister.
AS RIO A MAN AS LINCOLN.
Uonr the Martyr President Avoided Dltcus-
ion of an Unpleasant Topic.
M. M. Case, Jr.. In New York Son.
For this anecdote tho Hon. John J. Van
Allen is authority:
L.ong Tom Uavis, of Oswego, X. Y., was a
lawyer of unusual and conceded ability, an
ardent Republican, au enthusiastic admirer
of President Lincoln, nnd, during the latter
vears of tho war, a valuable member ot the
New York State Legislature. In 1804 he
went to Washington, and, while there,
called upon the 1 resident with the inten
tion of criticising a certain line of policy,
the expediency of which was then ques
tioned by many patriotic citizens.
Besides being tall enought to -warrant the
nse of tho prenomcnal adjective by which
he was distinguished from all shorter Tom
Davises. he was a man ot somber tempera
ment and singular gravity of manner. Lite
for him was too short and serious tor
smile, and being, for this auu ng other rea
sons, cjuite incapable of understanding the
character of Mr. Lincoln, he returned from
the capital amazed aud pained by the con
viction, which he did not hesitate to ex-
Eress, that our illustrious President was
ttle better than a butloon.
"Why, you greatly astonish me, Mr.
David?' said a gentleman to whom he com
municated the impressions of the President.
"I thought vou were one of his warmest
supporters.-'
"Well. ITI tell you." was the reply, "just
how he received mo and you can judge for
yourself. Having been introduced to him
in terms most flattering as a stanch Repub
lican and efficient member of tho Legisla
ture, 1 began to make the suggestions 1 had
in mind, whereupon the President, eyeing
me thoughtfully, inquirtd: 'Davis, how
tall a man areyonT' "
"I replied that I was six feet two inches.
upon which ho rejoined: 'Why. are you as
tall as that! Come, let me see and, back-

marked my height on tho jamb, and after
wards his own. the two marks being close
together.
" 'We're prettv nearlr of a size ' said he.
'But, Davis. 1 think my foot is longer than
yours.' So he insisted on measuring feet.
after which he began to disenss our weights
and the size of our chests and arms.
"In this way, with these trivial compari
sons and conjectures, he took up all my
time, fully fifteen minutes, until a man
came in who applied for a clerical position
in one of the departments on the strength
of haviug lost a hand in tho service of his
country.
''Oh, vou co and seo Seward' said the
President. 'I don't Vuow Anything about
your hand. You may have lost it in a steel
trap.'
"Now," concluded Mr. Davis earnestly,
"do yon think he has tho requisite dignity
fur so high an olliccl"
Tho interview, of which the foregoing is
a mere outline, seems deliciously amusing
from the fact that Mr. Davis, patriot and
statesman that he was. had not the remot
est appreciation of the humor of the inci
dent, lhe President, burdened and worn,
bowed by his Atlanteau load of responsi
bility, aud wearied by a long day's work.

was this ability to momentarily lay aside

under his weight of care, aud it was this
which rendered him such an enigma to the
saturnine Mr. Davis.
UNCLE SAM'S PAY-ROLL.
The Actual Number of Teople Who Work
for the Government.
Philadelphia Tress. ,
An accomplished statistician here has just
completed a series of interesting calcula
tions showing tho total number of persons
employed in all manner of capacities by
the United States government. The re
sults of his calculations show that there
are 88,000 employed in all branches of the
postal service alone, and GUOOO others fill
ing positions in the legislative, judicial
and miscellaneous divisions of tho govern
ment, with some liS.OOO privates "in the
army, navy and marine corps, and between
l'J.OOO and 15,000 men aud boys who gain
their livlihood from the government for
work directly incident to the increase of
the. navy and the construction ot heavv
guns, making a grand total of about 200,010
persons enrolled in tho glorious service of
Uncle Sam. The number who would like
to add themselves: to this vast army, in the
experience of the active politicians, is
probably something like six or eight mill
ions more.
The postal employes comprise, in addi
tion to the clerks at the Posioftice Depart
ment, all mail contractors, mail messen
gers, clerks in tho railway mail service.
postmasters with their assistants nnd let
ter-carriers. In the military and naval
list proper only tho names of officers are
given, while the privates are not counted.
There are 15,000 of them in the army,
in the navy, ant -WX) in tho marine corns.
The civil-service branch includes, besides
the postothce people, all employes subordi
nate to the executive departments, the
officials ot Congress, all the secondary and
independent bureaus, the Government
Printing OEice. the Smithsonian Institu
tion and National Museum, all tho Indian
agencies, mints, custom-houses, all 'tho
benevolent and philanthropic institutions
in Washington, and the government of the
District ot Columbia, laking the statis
tician's estimate ot the average salary re
ceived by all the governments servants,
not counting the piivotes in the army,
navy and marine corps, the annual pav-roll
aggregates not less than Slo5.000.000. As
suming that out of the t.VOO.Ooo inhabi
tants of the United States at least 'JO.OuO.OOO

there would seem to be only one office

Where Girls Can't Compete.
Phil J el i1j U Timr s.
As a crowd of men wcro gathered in a
Chestnut-street cigar store yesterday the
conversation turned on the ditleroneeiri the
wages paid to men and women engaged in
the same work.
"Ten years ago." said one member of the
company. "1 was chief telegraph operator
in a largo estern town on a salary of
per mouth. One day I received a notice
that a reduction in salaries had been made
ami I would m the future receive but S100.
in less than three months a further cut of
per cent, was announced, and this made
the salaries ot someoi the boys rather small.
But even this did not end the reduction.
The next cut brought me dowu to per
month, and a number of sweet-faced white
aproued cirls were placed at the different
deks. They could rattle the keys in a
very satisfactory manner and they were
real nice to look at. I knew that another
reduction in salaries would be m.ido in an
other three inoaths, so just before the time
arrived I resigned. I wu then out of a
job and I determined to go into a business
whireno white-npioued girl would ever
