A GERMAN LAEDLADY.
BY H. H.

1t was by one of those predictions
which men call lucky chances that
came to know the Fraulein Hahlreiner.
An idle question put to a railway ac-
duaintance, and in a moment more
had been spoken the name which viii
stand in my memory forever, calling up
a picture of the best, dearest, Jolliest
landlady in all Germany.
Up two such flights of stairs as only
victims Of nonarchies would consent to
climb we toiled to find her. There was a
breeze of good cheer in the first opening
of her door.
'Is the Fraulein Hahlreiner in?'
''I are she," laughed out of the broad
red lips and twinkled in the pretty
brown eyes. We had not suspected it,
for she looked in no wise like the pro-
prietress of an apartment to let,-more
like the happiest and best-natured of
chambermaids; untidy little, it must
be owned, but so picturesque in every
word and motion, that one would not
have rislzed any change, even to addi-
tional neatness. No artist has ever yet
taken a photograph of the Fraulein
Hahlreiner which could be recognized.
Neither can photograph her. / can
say that she was five feet seven inches
high, and fat to the degree of fatness
which Rubens loved to paint; that she
was fifty-two years old, and did not
look as if she were more than forty; that
she had hazel brown eyes, perpetually
laughing, a high white forehead, two
dimples in her left cheek which were
never still, and hair, as free as the dim
pies, too long to be called short, too
short to be called long, always floating
back in the air as she came towards
you: on great occasions she had it curl
ed by a hair-dresser,- the only weak
ness l every discovered in the Fraulein;
but it was such a short-lived one, one
easily forgave it, for the curl never
stayed in more than two hours.
l can say that, in spite of her fatness,
her step was elastic and light, and her
hands and feet delicately shaped; can
say that her broken English was the
most deliciously comic and effectively
eloquent language 1 have ever heard
spoken; can say that she cooked our
dinner for us at two, went shopping for
or with us at five, threw us into fits of
laughter at eight by some unexpected
bit of mimicry or droll story, and then
tucked US up at bedtime with an afeo-
tionate Good night! Sleep well!' But
after all this is told, have told only
outside truths, and given little sugges-
ton of the charm of atmosphere that
there was about our dear Fraulein and
everything she did or said.-AH,aHfic

AN EDITREss.
The Chicago Times has the foiIowin

The Chicago Times has the following:
Mrs. Hannah Mel. Shepard holds a
first-class position on that vigorous little
daily the New York Star. She is wild
ow, of perhaps thirty-hve years of age,
with strong, pleasing face, large and
splendidly proportioned figure, brown
wavy hair, and gray eyes. You feel at
first glance that she was made for a no
Bile character, and that she could not
stoop to the small meannesses of life
To be sure, she stands on lofty heights
of thought, purpose and culture, but she
is loved none the less because she is
above most of her kind. She has but
little sympathy with the suffragist move
ments but with all her magnificent
might she strives to help womankind.-
Sometimes she sparkles and scin6llates,
but generally she is persuasively ear
nest in her style of writing, Her edi-
torials, of course unrecOgnized, are
more widely copied than most mascu-
line pens, Especially have her articles
on cooperation and schemes for the as
sistance and better education Of women
been greatly admired and approved
She does her daily duty with as much
precision and persistence as a man,
while she neglects none of those atten-
tions to dress and appearance which be-
long to delicate and refined woman
hood, As great as the greatest. as noble
as the noblest, as gentle as the genuest,
this woman takes up the lever and as
sists the world to move in the right di-
rection, without crying out, 81 am com
ing-make way for me,

The gallant defender of Strasbourg
is a short, square built man of sixty
five, but scarcely looks more than If
ty. The curiosity to see him was so
great when he entered Tours that he
had, as we are informed by mail, to
descend among the crowd and go
through a great deal of shaking of
hands. He kissed the Mayor M.
Gouin, and begged the people to con-
slider that he embraced them all in the
person of their Mayor. He MADE one
or two little speeches, the burden OF
which was that France would not
perish. that he thanked them for Al
soce and Lorraine as we'll as for HIM
self. that this was the proudest day of
his life, and that an enemy drunk with
success must be drowned in its own
blood. NJ. Cremieux, placing his hand
upon General Ulrioh's shoulder, utter
ed few sentences about the imperish-
able renow he had achieved, in such
moving tones as to draw down copiOus
showers of tears from the audience.

stood to say something about elevated
regions of sentiment in which there
was no distinction between a Jew and
a Christian, a subscription has been

ORIGINOF THE TERM GERRY
MANDERING.o
From the New York Sun.


Most politicians, one would suppose,
know the origin of the term 9 gerTyman-
dering." Yet we find Gov. Ashley, OF
Montana Territory, in a recent message,
writing about jerrymandering, with
an initial j instead of q g, thus entirely
misrepresenting the derivation of the
word. Some sixty years or more ago
Elbridge Gerry, the grandfather of our
distinguished fellow-citizen and lawyer,
Elbridge T. Gerry, ESQ.,, counsel for the
San in John Russell IOung's libel suit,
and for Daniel Mcfarland in his ap-
preaching trial for murder, was the leader
of the old Democratic party in NIassachu-
sets. To perpetuate the power of the
party in the State, Mr.. Gerry and his as
sOciates in the Legislature rearranged and
divided the State into districts, so as to
insure as far as possible Democratic ma
iorities in the election districts, and in so
doing had little respect to the symmetry
of the outline of the districts or natural
geographical boundaries. A cOlOred map,
showing these new districts, was hung on
the wall of Mr. Gerry's Office, and at a
distance a portion of the State accident
ally presented the image of sprawling
lizard. One day a stsunch Federalist came
in, and espying this map, exclaimed,
"Why, what sort of an animal is that
therel" ooh, that is a Salamander, "
said Dir. Gerry, good humOredly. GA sala-
manderl" replied his friend, who in the
meanwhile had examined the map more
closely, and from his knowledge of local
politics had seen what the effect of the re-
distributing would be; ''yOu had better
say a Gerry -mander." The witticism
was repeated by Mr.. Gerry, and thus it
came to pass that ''gerrymandering7 with
the harD became a slang expression for
the political device practiced by Mr.. Ger
~ and his friends

wants the Indians confined on
reservations, and the Cover lment to
detail sufficient force of troops, and keep
them there on neutral land. On this ques-

MINISTERS OF THE GOSPEL.

MIR. FulKersOn submitted the following:
Resolved, That no Minister of the
Gospel shall cease his work of love and
mercy by hslding any Office whatever in
the gift of the people.
He said he offered this resolution with
no intention of being personal. But sew
eral resolutions had been offered here,
giving civil offices to ministers. In his
judgment, no secular charge or response
bility can add anything to the character of
minister of the gospel, and it was not
expedient for ministers to engage in po-
litlcal squabbles; and he asked the Con
