her sister. who was waiting on her. The
sister was soon attacked by the same disease
and bit the mother. All three were alive Mt

SHASTA COURIER,
ga New NIetternich..

A new Metternich has been introduced to the
diplomatic world since the death of that famous
old man, who for half century upheld the
cause of absolutism in Europe. And by sim
gular coincidence the new Metternich has been
sent by Austria as her Ambassador to Paris,
precisely as his father was sent so odd years
ago, at the conclusion of peace which the first
Napoleon granted to the defeated and supplant
Austria of 1906.
What extraordinary and vast events have
transplred since Napoleon, in January last star
tied the world by a few cold words of reproach
to Baron Hubner, the immediate predecessor of
the great Austrian ambassador A war, crowd
ed with brilliant and bloody victories, and
kingdoms transferred like private estates, inter-
vene between Hubner and Metternich. The new
Austrian Minister, independent of his being the
eldest son and heir of the great Metternich, is a
parsonage of some importance. Prince Richard
de Metternich entered the diplomatic service OF
Austria as Ambassador to Saxony, at the age OF
twenty-five years, in 1854, and is consequently
even younger than his father was when, in 1906,
he was charged with the difficult mission of es-
tablishing good understanding between a vic
torous Napoleon and the House of Hapsburg
Lorraine. The new Metternich inherits his ia
theirs striking advantages of person and man.

his wife" There is moral in it:
A man whose name was Johnny Sands,
He married Betty Hague,
And though she brought him house and lane
She proved horrible plague.
For, 0, she was a scolding wife,
Full of caprice and whim;
He vowed that he was tired of life,
And she was tired of him.
"Ill 60" said he, "and drown myself
In the river that runs below"

Eve wished 1t long ago."
" For fear that should courage lack,
And try to save my life,
Pray tie my hands behind my back"

She tied them fast, as you may think,
And when securely done,
"Now stand" said she, upon the brink,
And III prepare to run"
All down the hill his loving wife,
She ran with all her force
To push him in he stepped aside
And she went in, of course.
Now, splashing, dashing, like a fish,

these are advantages which negotiations can

But, fellow citizens, the protest is not only

in the blood of Broderick, and the inscription

tribunals to which they Tay well be referred,

the face Of difficulties. He inherited poverty
and obscurity. He died Senator in Congress,
having written his name in the history of the
great struggle for the rights of the people a.
gainst the despotism Of organization and the
corruption of power. He leaves in the hearts of
his friends the tenderest and the proudest re-
collections. He was honest, faithful, earnest.
sincere, generous and brave. He fell. In all
the great crises of his life he was a leader in the
ranks and for the rights of masses of men, and
he could not falter.
When he returned from the fatal field, while
the DARK wing of the archangel of death was
casting its shadow upon his brow, his greatest
anxiety was as to the performance of his duty.

MBSRcHAUMs. - The following information
concerning an article which is exceeding popu.
lar with the smokers of the present day, is from
the Philadelphia Ledger:
" The meerchaum or that portion in which
the cigar or tobacco is placed, is made in Vien-
ma, of clay found in Asia. The clay resembles
the porcelain clay found in this country, and is
easily moulded into any desired shape, and the
finer the quality, the more easily colored by the
oil Of tobacco. The mouth piece of the meer-
charm is made of amber, a substance resem-
bling resin, found along the Baltic Sea- This is
valued according to the size of the piece, and its
fitness for mouth pieces. Many of the meer.
chaums since the great demand for the article
are now made of a French clay, with mouth
pieces of copal, and so strong is the resemblance
that none bnt Judges of the article can dstn-
guish the difference These are called by the
knowing ones, Mere -shams These sell from
twenty-five cents to one dollar and upwards
The real merchants are valued as before stated,
by the length and purity Of the mouthpiece, and
the fineness of the clay from which they are
made Some of them sell as high as $40. and
the bowls for pipes as high $50, in conse-
quence of the elaborate carving upon them
They are made in Vienna, where a large number
of persons employed to meet the present de-
maud One firm, Doll & Co. have sold over
$4,000 worth the present season. and the cry is
still, more meerchaums These pipes have
been in use in Vienna and Germany for fifty or
more years and by few Germans in this coun-
try but not until very receatly have our own
citizens taken such fancy to them.'
The meerchaum is not considered perfect uu-
Ill it has become colored from constant use, by
the oil of tobacco, which gives it a dark reddish
appearance. 1t requires several months of as
siduous smoking to produce the desired hue, but

An AMERICAN EAGLE FOR TIE EMPERoR OF
AUsTRIA.-A Richmond correspondent of the
Petersburg Express says:
1.-The Virginia Central brought down on its
train of yesterday afternoon rare bird of the
eagle species. At the invitation of friend |
visited this natural curiosity to-day. 1t is of
enormous size, resembles the common grey ca
gle so frequently caught in Virginia. but is BIZ
clpitouc, or double headed-and in this its pc
cuiarity consists The two heads are clearly
defined, and seem to be perfect in all respects
1t receives its food with the same facility in
either beak, and apparently hears and sees
alike through all its eyes and ears 1t was cap
tured when mere fedgling, near Luray, Page
county, by Johannes Schwarzberger, and has
been carefully nurtured and fed by himself and
family ever since. Mr.. S. has disposed of this
curious bird to the Austrian Consul at New
York, who intends presenting it to the Emperor
Francis Joseph. A more appropriate present
could not be made to his Royal Highness, and
he will doubtless prize it highly. The national
emblem of this vast empire, you will recolect
is a double headed eagle; but we will venture
the assertion that this is the first living specimen
| ever seen. 1t goes to New York this afternoon
by Adams Express-and will be sent out thence
by one of the earliest outgoing steamers.
