t ! i ) ! Til 13 EMPKIIOITS UASUER. " An EycWltneaa Darrlb tho Let At. tempt on the Kaiaer'a Utr. Berlin Cor. New York World. Two o'clock on Sunday afternoon, Unter den Linden. It in a cool, plens ant June day. Tho crowd streams idly along this brood Btreet. The cafes art liJled. The stately officers of he Koyal Guard are out in all tho elegance of f ull- uress uniform, llichly-drcssed women sweep the pavement with their long. slim trains. Here and there a trio of students swagger through tho crowd 'with bright-colored caps and scarred faces. Ceaseless is the How of droHchkies, carrying the easy-going Jieriiners, witli wives aud children, xowaru the green alleys of the Thier garten. The Kaiser's carriage rolls out from tho door-way of his palaoo at tho other enu or the .Linden. He is going, as a good Berliner, to take his daily drive in the Thiergarten. The equipage is a simple Victoria, low and open, drawn by iwo smau, quicK-trotung blnck horses. There is nothing to distinguish it from other carriages except tho waving plumes of the Jager who sits upon the oox. iiie Kaiser sits erect upon the back seat as tho carriage, with its rubber-covered wheels, rolls swiftly and noiselessly down the street. He bears his fourscore years nobly, and his greeting is sincere and kind as he an swers the respectful salutations which every one delights to give him. I be lieve there are plenty of people who walk on the south side of Unter den Linden at this hour for no other pur pose than the simple pleasure of tak ing oil their hats to tne brave old Em peror. I will confess to having done so myself. The carriage is passing No. 18, in the most crowded and fashionable part of the street. Suddenly, from an open window in the second story, two cun- shots flash like lightning out of a clear sky! The Kaiser sinks back on the seat. Blood trickles down his face. The carriage stops. The Jager springs irom nis seat ana Holds his wounded master in his arms while the carriage slowly turns and drives down the other tide of the street toward tho palace. I stand within fifteen feet of tho equipage as it passes. 1 see tne stately figure lying there helpless; the red stream trickling slowly over the bronzed face, now so pallid ; the pain, the anguish, the unutterable dejection in those manly features. I realize, as if in an evil dream, that for the second time within barely three weeks the Emperor of Ger many has been shot at like a dog in the streets of his own capital. The people are wild with excitement and rage. A crowd has gathered itself in an instant about the house. The street is filled with haste and confusion. Men rush up to the room of the assassin and break open the door. He meets the first who enters with a revolver-shot and then shoots himself, but not fatally. He is captured and bound. The people be low are frantic. They threaten to tear him in pieces. The big prison-van comes up" to take him away, but it is too high to pass under the doorway of the house, and as tho driver, in his hurry, attempts to go through, he is crashed to death upon his box. At last the pris oner is taken away under a strong guard of mounted police. The crowd becomes quieter but larger every moment, and joyful tears greet the news which is brought from tho palace that the Kaiser is in no immediate danger, although he has been struck by a number of shot in the cheek, neck and shoulder, and hus suffered considerable loss of blood. The wonld-bo murderer is named Carl E. Nobling, is 30 years old, and comes from an old and respectable German family. He has gained the degree of the Doctor of Philosophy at the Uni versity of Leipzig, and is a man of con siderable literary and scientific culture. He has written for leading agricultural reviews. 3Ir. Bryant's Cowhide. There are many stories told illustra tive of Mr. Bryant's strength and en durance, but only once did he use his powers as an athlete in a personal quar rel. A gentleman connected with the Commercial Advertiser, when Col. W. L. Stone was editor, told yesterday, with as much circumstantiality as the lapse oi nearly or twice two score years would permit, of an encounter between the Colonel and Mr. Bryant. Col. Stone was an ardent Whig, while Mr. Bryant was a no-less-zealous Democrat. Their editorial disquisitions were correspond ingly fierce and warlike, but Mr. Bryant unuormiv preserved what he considered was due to professional courtesy, and never mentioned his antagonist except as editor oi tne Commercial Advertiser. Of all personalities, he considered men tioning an editor by name the most rep- renensiDie. One unlucky day Col. Stone so fai forgot himself as to break the rule which he had heretofore observed, and referred to Mr. Bryant by name as the holder of the opinions he was contesting. The Commercial Advertiser, with the other newppapers at that time, had its office in Wall street, and, either in that thor oughfare or in William street, Mr. Bry ant, who had provided himself with an old-fashioned cowhide, met Col. Stone. Few words passed between the editors, who were nearly equal in size, and Mr. Bryant laid on the cowhide with a will, until the passers by separated them. Ill feeling naturally followed the en counter. Col. Stono died a few years later. New York Sun. The Last Moments or a Philosopher. The following letter, descriptive of the last hours of William Ellery, one of the signers of the Declaration of Inde pendence, who died at Newport, R. I., in 1820, has never before been published. It was written by an intimate friend of the family, and has recently come to light. March 14, 1820. Old Mr. Ellery died like a philosopher. In truth, death in its common form nerr came near him. Hit strength wasted gradually for the last year, until be had not enough left to draw in bis breath, and so he ceaned to breathe. The day on which he died hegotnp as nsnal and dressed bimielf, took bin old fljg-bettomed chair, without arms, in which he bad sat for more than half a cent nry, and was reading "Tu'.ly's OfUces " in Latin, without glasses, though the print was as fine as that of the smallest pocket-bible. Dr. V. stopped In on his way to the hospital, as be uxually did, and, on perceiving that the old !;entleman could scarcely raio his eyelids to ook at him, he tok his hand and found that his pulse was gone. After drinking a little wine and water, Dr. W. told him that his pulw beat stronger. " Oh, yea, doctor, I hare a chartu iiiR pulde. Bnt." he contiuut, "it In 'die to talk to me lu thix way. I am going off the ntago, and it is a great Menning that I go free from nicknt-Ha or pain or Borrow." Home time after, hia daughter, rinding him becoming extremely weak, winhed him to be put into lxl. which he at Brat objected to, saying (hat he felt no pain, and there was no occasion for Li going to bed. Presently after, however, fearing that he might I poHHibly fall out of bin chair, he told them they might net blm upright in the bed, ao that he could continue to read. They did bo, ard lie continued reading Cicero very quietly for Borne time. Trevently thev looked at him and found him dead, bitting in the name posture with the book under his chin, an a man who becomes drowtty and goeu to sleep. Frtinoul'M rps and Downs. There are few of any political faith who will not approve of the appoint ment of Gen. John C. Fremont to the Territorial Governorship of Arizona. Ilis life has been unexampled in its great possibilities and its conspicuous failures. From an obscure army officer, with ill-directed love of adventure, he burst upon the country as a Presidential candidate, and lost the race by a nomi nal and always-disputed majority in Philadelphia, in October, 1850, and from the first leader of the Republican party he has long been forgot ten in politics and entirely unfelt in the affairs of state. Once re garded as one of the first millionaires of the continent, he is now broken in fort une and owns no part of this world's surface but a grave. When war camo he was hurried home from Paris to ac cept one of the most important com mands in the Union, and in a few months he was degraded by those who had been his menus and his military career I stamped with failure. He conceived the construction of a grand trans-conti neutal railway on the Southern line commanded the favor of Congress and tho confidence of Paris bankers, only to be swamped in irretrievable bankruptcy denounced as a swindler and convicted of fraud in the criminal courts of France. With all his prominence in the political movements of the country his only experience in civil trust was a few days' service as one of the first United btates Senators from California. He has been jeered by political enemies as the statesman who never made speech; the General who never fought a oattie, ana the millionaire who never hail a dollar; but, with all his failures Gen. Fremont has deserved well of the nation, for he has generously sowed where others have reaped, and in all the wrongs imputed to him he has been greatly more sinned against than sin nmg. His accomplished wife (Jessie Ueuton) has bravely struggled with him in all the sad mutations of fortune through which they have passed, and the education of their son has been ac complished by:Uie fruits of her pen, They will well grace tne humble guber natorial mansion of Arizona, and Presi dent Hayes will be thanked for the ap pointment by the very many who have grateful memories of 1806. Philadel phia Times. Curing Beef Without Salt. Our system of salting meat makes it unhealthy and distasteful. Why do we salt bones ? Were they extracted one- third the salt would suffice, and meat so cured would lose little of its nutriment, besides gaming in value. Two-thirds of the smoking might be dispensed with, and one cause of indigestibility greatly lessened. Modern mechanical skill can surely contrive a tool to disbone a ham, ana let the salt have equal access ln- sido and outside. The thick skin might be removed with equal benefit. Custom may claim the shape of the ham as im portant, but this objection would give way before the great superiority of the meat. .' Farmers would find profit in it lor their own household. A boned tur key is always attractive. When raised far from market, a turkey boned and slightly salted and smoked would find ready sale at remunerative price. The Mexicans cure beef without salt. The first operation is to unbone it. Then it is cut into narrow strips and exposed to the sun till a superficial crust is formed to exclude lho air. A slight smoking keeoa insects away. It is usually kept in sacks in a dry place, ana time aoes not injure it. it le now suggested that great improvement can be made in curing all meats without salt, by some adaptation of the Alden fruit-drier. We have seen beef and mutton shredded into broad rib brads two inches thick, and passed through an Alden drier and slightly smoked tid strong outer crust was formed. Iho cured meat was served to sailors on a voyage to the Sandwich islands and back, and was esteemed a great luxury com pared with the best salted mess beef. Some that was brought back to San Jrancisco satisfied the experimenters that this mode of curing meat is des tined to come into general use. San Franchco Cor. Baltimore Sun. June. The death of Mr. Bryant occurred in the month of June, as if in answer to the expressed yearning of one of his most beautiful poems. More than twenty years ago a little poem of his was published in the Philadelphia Evening Post, then a literary journal of some celebrity. It contained six stan zas, under the title of June," alluding to its blue skies and violets and hongs of Hindu beneath the laoon With fairy laughter blent, with other passages of an equally felicit ous description. But the burden of the poem was a petition to die in the month of June, and a passionate protest against December dissolution : J) cell within the f roren mold, A coffin borne through sleet, And icy clouds above it rolled, While fierce the tern pent beat! Away I I will not thluk of these ; Ulne be the sky and aoft the breeze, Karth's green beneath the feet, And be ttie damp mold gently prenaed Into my narrow place of reet. ne odds, with a regret peculiar to the lover of nature, with a poetic passion : I know that i no more mould see The mwoo' frlorloua show, Nor would Its brigbtnena Rhine for me, Nor 1U wild music flow. But he consoles himself for this loss with the sentiment that he shall live again through the long, long summer davs in the crass and violets upon his own grave a sentiment which had dimly groped its way toward the surface in many a human soul beioro, but had never before received so complete an interpretation. Diaz has pronounced against a railway connecting Mexico with the United States, and refused to admit the contract agreed upon by his predecessors. ROMANCE OP STANLEYS LIFE. Uetrothed to a Jewess and Jilted While In Africa Love at First tslght In Athens From the New York Graphic, 1 There are few men in the world to whom lifo should apparently be so pleasant as to Henry M. Stanley; there are few, however, to whom it seems to bo so bitter. All England is ready to do him honor; he has been overwhelmed with praise and congratulation; tho Queen has thanked him; Pailiament has thanked him; the two great journals for wnica no nas maue explorations have amply rewarded him. But he is sullen, morope, discontented and savage; he seems to enjoy nothing save occasionally making himself intensely diaagrecablo at a public dinner or meeting where every one is anxious to do him honor. This is strange; Mr. Stanley is yet a young man, and life should still contain much joy to him. What is the explanation of this mystery t Sir. Stanley has had a romance; it ended unhappily for him, and this has soured him to tho heart. Before he went on his second expedition to Africa. I A 1 t..V II ... ue met. unu ien mauiy in love with a charming young lady, tho daughter of a wealthy citizen of Jewish extraction. whoso name is, perhaps, best known in connection with the erection of an ex tensive but unfortunate opera house. Mr. Stanley's passion was deep and vi olent, but he was told that, at least, he must wait, ana that an immediate mar nago was out of the question. He was anxious to win even greater fame and fortune and lay them at the feet of his beloved. It was at this moment that the second African expedition was proposed to him; in it he saw the coveted opportunity for distinction and reward, and he eagerly embraced tho perilous commission. Throughout the whole of that terrible journey through the jungles of Africa, amid all his toils, dangers, sickness and disap pointments, he was sustained by the thought of his love, and by the confident hope of receiving the reward which was dearer to him than the applause of the world or the riches of Golconda. He gave tho name of the young lady to the most beautiful lake which he discovered, as ho gave it afterward to the handsome boat in which he made a portion of his exploration tho Lady Alice. At Zan zibar a packet of letters were awaiting him, and he hastened to open them, hoping to find some messages of love and affection from the mistress of his soul. One of the letters contained the intelligence that Miss Alice had been married several months. From that moment Stanley was a changed man. His delight in life was wholly lost. His natural good humor and buoyancy of spirit gave place to long fits of melancholy, alternated with violent outbursts of petulance and anger. The plaudits with which he was received upon his arrival in England were dis tasteful to him; he revenged himself by attacking with unreasonable rage every one who ventured to differ on even the slightest subject with him. This, however, was Mr. Stanley's sec ond love affair. He had experienced a previous disappointment, but it had not deeply wounded him. Chancing to be spending some time upon the island of Crete, he saw from his window a young Greek maiden in the garden of the op posite house, and he at once felt that his fate was sealed. She was about 15 years old, and Mr. Stanley has since de clared that never before nor since has he beheld so sweet and beautiful a creat ure, ne at once sought out the Ameri can Consul and revealed to him the state of his heart The Consul, who had him self married a Greek lady, bade him not despair; took him forthwith to the house of his inamorata and presented him to her mother, who was a widow. Stanley could speak no Greek; the mother no English; the Consul was the interpreter. He did his work so well that at the end of half an hour the young lady was sent for. Stanley was forbidden even to touch her band; but he conversed with her by his eves, and Ihev soon understood each other well. At the end of a week he was an nwented lover; at the end of a fortnight the day iur mu weuumg arnvea. All this while he had seen the young lady once a day, always in the presence of her mother. On the day before the wedding he had oeen permuted lor the first time to take her hand and to imprint upon it a chaute salute. The morniuff of the weddinc arnveu; otaniey was dressed for th t M. . " . O ceremony and was waiting tho happy moment, mere entered to him three Greeks, whom he had never seen before, ana an interpreter. Thev are ntro. duoed as the brothers of the bride, and uiey proauce a parchment which the in terpreter explains. It is a deed of set. tlement which binds Stanlev to tiav so uiuvii u yem u) me motner, so much to each brother, and so much to his wife. and to plank down the first installments on the spot. In vain Stanley explains inai ue is worm notning and cannot pay; the brothers look daggers, tho inter preter frowns, and the scene closes bv the arrival of the Consul, who with dim culty gets Stanley out of the clutch of his tormentors and ships him off to Athens. He never saw his beautiful Grecian maiden again. A Test for the Capacity of Cows. A commission has been appointed bv me uoverameni oi 1'ennavlvania to pi hluiuu uuu rrpurt ua me merits oi a sys tem which undertakes to determine in aavance tne probable yield of milk of cows, by certain marks upon the animal. The marks are chiefly in respect to the disposition ana moae or growth of the hair near the udder, and a prediction can be made with certainty, it is said, as to whether the future cow will bo a large producer of milk if the observation is made n tho young calf, even shortly after birth. The discoverer of this rp- culiarity was a French stock-raiser, M. Francis Guenon; he first promulgated it about forty years ago. Since then the theory has found favor with several French agricultural societies ; M. Guenon has received medals and ne- cuniaiy rewards, and many stock-raisers in Europe are said to base their esti mates of the value of cattle upon this system. The mark on the animal is called an escutcheon. Tho mode by which the value of the system will be tried in Pennsylvania is, first to have tho State Commissioners inspect the marks on a scries of cows in several tables, and make a record of the indi cations without communicating any facts that they observe to the owners of tho animals. These records are to be sent to the Secretary of tho State Board of Agriculture. The owners of the cows will make statistical records of , the yield of milk of each animal, and send them also to the State Board. The two sets of records will then bo compared f.nd reported upon. Some of this work has already been done, and it is said that 95 per cent, of tho opinions formed by escutcheon observation have, so far. proved correct. Ntvt York Tribune. A Suit for a Mustache. A young gentleman of Peoria. 111., has brought suit agaiust atonsorial artist of that municipality for 8500. which amount, in lawful currency, he claims as indemnity for loss and damage sustained by reason of malpractice on tho part of defendant, the melancholy result which , was the sacrifice of a portion an incipient mustache, which the plain tiff had thus far reared with tender care and infinite solicitude. We do not know how the court and jury will regard this salt, whether they will treat it with gravity or levity; but a little reflection will convince even the most thoughtless man that the injured youth has solid ground of complaint. In ail ages the world the hirsute adornment of the head and face has been regarded with an interest amounting almost to vener ation. The ancient Israelites, the Arab tribes of old and recent times, the Chi nese and other Orientals, all shared or share this feeling. The scriptures show that the hairs of all heads are num bercd. Whether the plaintiff, in this case, has taken a oensus of t his mus tache, and, in his bill of particulars. charges at a given price per hair, we are not odvised. It is likely, however, that his bill is for the entire mustache, for the remaining section cannot be regard ed, as of much utility. Fractions, in such cases, are of no account. Victims of the careless handling of razors will watch the progress of this case with in terest. Washington Post. Why the French Prosper The secret of the reserved wealth of the French their elasticity ' after dis aster are their habits of economy, their excellence as cooks, their temperance and their family attachments. They are impulsive and violent, but their rev olutions are like thunder-storms, useful to clear the atmosphere of bad elements and generally followed by moderation under whatever regime. They are the paradox of nations. They live among themselves and upon strangers at the same time, ard there is no other case in which a people gets so much money from other peoples and gives so little money in return. They, however, give music, plays, manners, books and cos tumes freely to ot.ers, but they remain tne same. They are always individual, They imitate nobody exoept to make somebody ridiculous. J. y.

The utility and convenience of a shelf attach ment to the oven of cooking stoves is now nni vers&lly acknowledged by all housekeepers, who have used or seen them, and it is a matter of choice whether the shelf Is permanently at tached to the side of the stove or opened and closed inside of the oven by tho movement of the door. The Grand Charter Oak will here after be constructed so as either the automatic or permanent shelf can be ordered with any size. Our attention has been called to a circa lar containing a caution against the use of an tomatio shelves, issued by certain parties who claim to own letters patent No. 180,001, stating that they have brought suit against this com pany for infringement on said patent, and warning all persons not to buy or nse stoves having such shelves and made by us. We have only this to say in regard to tho matter, Oiat we ttficdl vigorously defend this mit, and have no doubt of our success in such defense, and here by agree to protect each and every pron buy ing, selling or unng our Grand Charter Oak, or other stoves of our manufacture from any damage by reason of any claim said parties can have under said letters patent. As our con struction of shelves is not only covered and fully protected by valid letters patent owned by us, but are acknowledged by dealers and all oihers who have seen them to be much more tnmple in construction, to operate easier, and to be less liable to get out of order than any other kind in the market, and we will cheerfully snip a sampie oi our urana unarter uak with an automatio shelf to any responsible dealer or housekeeper who desires to examine it before purchasing, and at end of ten days, if it is not acknowledged as having more conveniences and being the best constructed, finest finished, moot elegantly proportioned, perfectly operat ing: and heaviest cooking stove ever made or offered for the price at which it is rapidly being soia, it can ne neia subject to our order, and we will pay all expen? es. llespectf ully yours, EXCELWOB JilXUFACTCBINO COMPANY, St. Louis, Mo.
