first Napoleon. AS consequence of this
long interval of peace the present Prus-
sialf generals have not made as great mill
itary reputation as their French oppo-
nents. Nevertheless, during the war with
Austria they displayed considerable skill,
their maneuvres and combinations being
carried out with complete success.
The leading mind in the Prussian Army
is said to be General Count Won Moltke
He saw active field service with the Tur-
kish army in 1889, where he obtained
great experience. In 1858 he was ap-
pointed Chief of Staff of the PruGsian
army, and to him is attributed the plan of
campaign against Austria in 1866. For
this he had been making preparations
years before, and after the declaration Of
war he directed the campaign with, as al
ready stated, signal success.
OF the other Prussan commanders the
Prince Royal, Frederick William, and his
brother, Prince Frederick Charles, COM
manded the two principal armies during
the war, and won regulations by the cele-
rity of their movements. General Stein
metz also distinguished himself. None
of the others were conspicuous, although
Generals Manteffel, Marstein, and one or
two others are regarded as officers of abil-
ity. General d dAlransleben is an officer
of skill also. 1t is impossible, however,
to place tn s. generals in any order of
merit, because they have, thus far, done
nothing to indicate their military ability
beyond the prompt carrying out of the or
ders of General Moltke, who is undoubt-
edly the ablest commander in the Prus-
sian army.

A SUMMER DAY.
Sunshine over the meadow lands,

Sunshine over the meadow lands,
Kissing the crimson clover,
And sunshine hunting the lily cups
That the yellow bees hang over;
And sunshine over the hazy hills,
And over the dimpling river,
And wished that the sun and the summer day
Might shine and last forever.
We walked down by the meadow path,
The broad highway forsaking,
For the quiet of that lovely spot,
Seemed better for our love-making;
And was silent and she was shy,
AS we walked down through the clover
But we thought it the sweetest summer day
That ever the sun shore over.
We heard the birds in the waving grass
As they twittered to each other
About the nests they had hidden away,
And the coo of each glad bird mother;
And we thought as we walked that summer day
Through the clover blooms together,
That at last the world was in perfect tune
In the glad, bright summer weather.
cannot tell what said to her
As we walked knee-deep in clover;
But know that the robins merriy sang
Thsir sweetest of sweet songs over.
And down in my heart loves own bird sang
song that was gladdcr, sweeter,
And its echo joined with the world S sweet hymn,
And made the day competer.
And when we came up the meadow path,
Our hearts sang over and over;
ooh sweet glad day for blossom and bird
And for every blithe young loverl'
And yet know not the words she said,
Or whether she spoke at all
But of all sweet days that summer day
l count as the best of all.

and here goes: Here is to the glorious

A Just Comparison.

As common water scented with carboic
acid or creosote is the very highest con-
centrated extract, so are the ordinary ini-
ments or ambrocations as compared to the
celebrated Magic Arnics Liniment. On
the one hand you have loathsome, greasy
mixture which, to say the most, scts mere
" upon the SKIN; even the so-called pain
killers only burn and irritate. Not so with
the Magic Arnica Liniment, which is Q
beautiful, clear, ruby-eolored fluid, which
penetrates through all the tissues, mus
cles, etc., to the bone itself, reaching the
hidden sources of diseases, thus scattering
pain as if by magic, harmless in its effects,
yet herculean in strength.

Hotel Observation-Disclosures.

A writer in the New York Era giving
some account Of the most successful hotel
keepers of the United States, pays the fol-
lowing compliment to Mr.. Kean, of the
Maxwell House:
And last but not least the name of Mich
ael Kean, Esq, of the Louisville Hotel,
stands prominent among the prince of
hosts IN the United States. This gentle
man entered the Falls City many years ago
poor young man, and where the Louis
vile Hotel is situated was then a barren
Wilderness. TWAS not long before the gen.
tleman in question became one of the most
popular landlords on this continent. As
a proof of his success he is at this time car
rying on two hotels, the Louisville and the
elegant Maxwell House at Nashville. Thus
it can be seen at glance that those who
have served a number of years in this line
of business have been the most successful.
All that is needed to conduct large es-
Enlistment successfully is impartality,
courtesy and true hospitality of soul in the
landlord and employees.
