How the Dead Prussian Soldiers are to
be Identified.

A Berlin letter in the London Telegraph
says: Mark one instance of the German
practical spirit as proof of the fashion
after which these Teutons prepare to fight
In recent wars popular feeling mas demand
ed that rank and file, captains and gene
rails, shall be equally and impartially men,
toned in the lists of the slain; bat difficult
ties have arisen, because the enemy cannot
know the dead mems names, and, when
the muster roll is called sfter battle, the
missing may be only wounded or prison
ers. Germany has, in her solid, calm man.
ner, arranged, in view of this difficulty,
that each wife and mother shall speedily
know the best or the worst OF those who
go to fight s'with God, for King, and Faith
erland." Slips of parchment, Like luggage
labels, have been prepared, on which the
name of each German soldier is plainly
written, and one of these viii be
fastened inside his coat when he goes info
action. After the day is decided, the enc
my, if he be master of the field, will be
requested to collect and return these labels,
OF which about million have been Provjd-
ed, grim tickets for an unknown journey
Think OF the German wife or mother sew
ing it on-the battle ticket of her stake in
the quarrel-the address of her particular
material Of war;" the awful travelling label
Bhereon no loving hand may write, with
care" seeing that its bearer goes into the
Valley of the Shadow, to come forth again
or not as heaven shall decree. Sewn on
with German thread, ripped of, perchance,
with French knife, whole packets and par
cells of tGese little human memoranda will
surely be returned; but yet every man who
buttons his coat over the label of death
has looked his fate full in the face, and
made himself ''ready for the burial"

What Napoleon Covers.

A writer in the Boston Advertiser, in
discussing the objects and probable result
of the Franco-P -Prussisn war so far as
France is concerned makes tue following
interesting statement:
For years France has been obliged to
content herself with keeping alive the en-
bers of strife in Poland, the Dutchies and
the Free Cities. Her ambition is to make
the Rhine her frontier, TO add to her pres
ent empire the fertile and populous terri
tory which lies between France, the Rhine
and the German Sea, including portion
of Prussia, the Duchy of Luxemburg and
all Belgium. She tried few years since
to secure Luxemburg and then to level its
fortress, but Europe demonstrated and she
was obliged to content herself with
of Luxemburg. The country which
France coYets is as large as that section of
New England which lies between the Mer-
rimac and the Hudson. II is the garden of
Europe and contains a population of at
least eight millions, and would add at
least fifth to the population and wealth
of France; but Germany clings tenaciously
to her country on the Moselle and the
south bank of the Rhine, and would gladly
recover both Alsace and Lorraine, where
the German is still spoken; and both Ger.
many and England regard Belgium as the
gateway of the continent, appreciate vel
the power it would give to France, and
shrink from the idea of giving to her the
seaports of the coast the navigation o.
the Rhine.

A Sad Ending to a Wretched Life.

Some weeks ago we published sketch
of the sufferings and wretchedness of q
family living In Montgomery street, the
mother of whom, while her husband lay IN
an insensible and beastly condition from
the effects of rum, and who had just awak-
ened tr m the effects of her own potatiors,
her children starving and moaning for
food, which their parents IN satisfying
their base appetltes had neglected to pro-
vide, overcome with horror and remorse,
rushed out of the house, down to the dock,
and plunged IN the water. At that time
she was with difficulty rescued and carried
to her home, where she lay insenslble
day or two. The case was brought to the
notice OF the police, who, on entering, be-
held such scene of sickeniDg misery that
even they, stern. hearted men as they are,
were shocked. The husband stupidity
drunk, the woman insensible, and the
children sick and crying for bread. Proper
care was at once rendered, and no more was
heard of them until yesterday afternoon
1t seems that the woman, notwithstanding
her sad experience, could not leave the IA
tai cup alone, and during the time that has
intervened has bean almost constantly un-
der its influence. At 4:30 yesterday after
noon. this woman, whose name is Mary
McElwain, while walking along the docks
at the basin, deliberately sprang in. Aman
by the name of Carroll, who witnessed the
occurrence, jumped sfttr, and succeeded
in bringing her out, but ali efforts to re-
store consciousness were unayalllng. Cor
oner Prest held an inquest, and verdict
was rendered in accordance with the facts.
What may become of her innocent chill
dren, who are thus thrown upon the world,
none can tell; but this sad ending of life,
made wretched by intemperance, should
carry its warning to others who may be
pursuing.a similar course. This was the
third attempt she had made, and it sue
ceeded. Albany Journal, 13th

the BOYS of the town, till he did not much
care what became of him. A face full of
everything hard, bitter, malicious. He is
ready either to receive help at the hand of
the apostle, or to strike him with the
erutch. Does not much believe there is
any cure, does not much care. Has not
heard o kind word for twenty years, and
would not be at all surprised if he were
howIed away now. A foul face-even the
hair on the chin curls with scern. He has
the fierceness of an adder, which, trod on,
eurls up to bite It's pursuer. The distor-
tion of the body has struck inand deformed
the soul. Ypu feel that your only safety
in his presence is that he cannot walk. His
figure haunrs a man for days.
It is painting that puts the heart in
vice, and starts the cold sweat on the fore
head, aud holds you with a spell from
which you are trying to break away, until
you look Just over the head of the vicious
mendieant, and see the clear. innocent face
of child hushed in its mothers arms, and
then look to the left, and see two round
limbed children, bounding into the
scene, wondering what is the mat
ter. With their dimpled hands, they
pun out the thorns Of the picture. 1t is a
stubborn sea If trouble that will not divide
when four baby leet go padding ID IT. We
are glad that Raphael did not choose for the
picture cherubs with wings fastened at the
backbone, ready at any moment to fly
away with them, but children that look as
if they had come to stay. Rather thinly
dressed, indeed, for cool weather.
Raphael's picture-children did not cost him
much for clothes. You know it was warm
climate.
Though bachelor, Raphael knew the
worth of children in picture. With their
little hands they open the inside door of
the heart, and LET Us pass in when other
wise we might have been kept standing
on the cold steps, looking at the corbeils
and caryatides of the outside architecture.
1t was a little maid that directed
Naaman to the Jordan for healing,
and it is child in the picture that shows
the Ieper of harsh criticism where to
wash his scales of. It is by the introduc-
ton of children into their paintings that
Canaletto gives warmth to the ice-white
castles of VenicG, and Gainsborough sim
plicity to the holloWness of a watering
place, and Turner pathos to the decline
of Carthage, and Ruysdael life to dead
landscape, and Giotto, and Tacconi, end
Orcagna, and Joshuay Reynolds follow in
the track of boys foot.

The First Boat that Descended the Mis-
SiSSipDi River.

By wav OF contrast with the recent Mis-
sissippi steamboat race, the Memphis
Appeal gives the following reminiscence ::
In 1923 Captain Sareye commanded the
good steamer General Washington, the
fastest boat that had ever traversed the
waters of the West He made in the
rraar designated the fastest time ever
known between New Orleans and Louis
vile, twenty-five days. When at Louisville
he anchored his steamer In the midst of
the river and fired gun for each day
consumed in the wonderful voyage. The
whole population of Louisville was gath
cred on the river shore to behold the mar
vel of speed, the glorious General Wash
ington, and Shreve was feted and hon
ored, and crowned with roses, and borne
by the huzzaing multitude through the
streets of Louisville. Shreve, dressed as
an American Admiral, made an eloquent
speech to the people of Louisville. and,
while WHISKY flowed and toasts were drank,
Shreve, who gave paternity to Shreveport,
declared that the time of the General
Washington could never be equaled.
Cautiously enough it was eclipsed be-
fore the season closed, and the Tecumseh,
in 1928, made the same trip in eight days
and seventeen hours, and not until 1893
was this time beaten. The Sbepherdess
was then crowned Yictris, beating the Te-
cumseh's time seven hours. She was COM
manded by Capt. Milton Daley. The
Reindeer. in 1928, made desperate effort
to beat the Teeumseh, but failed ignomin-
iously, In those days, when on a race, all
the passengers, officers and crew were en-
ployed at stated intervals in wood-chop-
ping along the shore. There were no coal
or wood yards. When steamer encoun-
tered an attractive pile Of drift wood, peo-
pie on board coveted it like birds of'prey,
and depositing it on the boat, soon con-
verted it into firewood.
s'The Pennsylvania was the first steam
er that ever descended the Mississippi. -
She came down from Pittsburg in 1873
At that very time this whole valley, from
Memphis to Louisville, was convulsed by
successive EARTHQUAKES. When the thun-
derous Pennsylvania descending the Ohio,
drew near ShaWneetOwn on o dark, tenn
pestuous night, and the people of the vii
lage heard the fearful thunder of the
Pennsylvanias voice, they thought it the
living genius of the earthquake. Led by
John r. Snully, who was gathered to his
fathers years ago, the people of the village
went down to the river shore and on their
knees in abiect terror prayed for escape.
'.At length the steamer with its glaring
eyes redder than that of Polyphemus, and
hideous noises, came in sight. Fires be-
meath the boilers illuminated the scene
with ghastly glare, the boat breathed
heavily as the embodiment ofan earthquake
might have done. the good people of Shaw
neetown rose up, and In helpless fright and
utter dismay, fed away to the hills. Shaw
neetown has never recovered from the shock
ofthat fearful night. Its growth was stunt
ed, and there it stands to- day, a hunchback-
ed, little, half-grown ancient village, the
victim of stupendous terror inspired by the
first steamer that ever descended the Ohio
and Mississippi"

CoRAs SToRY.-BY A. T. Little four
year-old Cora sat upon my lap, listening to
stories. 1 had told her so many that was
tired at last, and, with long sigh of salts
faction, she said:
s.Now, sister Theo, you've been good and
teIled me SO many stories, I'm going to tell
you one.
So she pursed up her little mouth, tuck
ed her ringlets behind her ears, lookedap
looked down, blushed little and began:
saOuce there was little girl who thought
she would hide away from everybody; and
she went and she hided, and she hided.
and she hided.
ssAnd there was a little boy who thought
he would 60 and look for her. And he
went and looked all around somebody s big
house, and somebody elses big house, and
he couldn't find her in nobody's big house,
nowhere.
ssThen he went into the woods and look
ed into the trees, when they were hollow,
and she wasn't there; so he felt bad, and
went and drownded himself in the creek;
and. oh, my down in the bottom of the
creek he found that little girl all drownded,
