BISMARCK AND KING WILLIAMS
VISIT TO NAPOLEON IN 1867.

! remember how once upon'a time
| saw the chief combatants in this
great struggle for power all seated
on their battle steeds together. 1
feel like signing for a Palingenesis
when remember how long ago this
battling was planned, and how
steadfastly opinion has boon shaped
in each country to bring it on. 1t
was one of Napoleon's reception
days, when he had the great pageant
Of sovereigns at Paris in 1867
There was grand review in the
Bots dc Boulogne, and 10000 of the
flower Of French regulars were
there. On the great plain moved
solid, symmetrical masses of infant
ry, brilliant in color, and brought
into strong relief by the white
aproned, black-capped sappers and
miners, marching in front with
cleaning axe at shoulder. There
was a certain noted spike-helmeted
North German Count, who sat
awkwardly on his horse, and used
field glass a great deal. His name
was Bismarck. Next him was a
blear-eyed, short-legged, somewhat
portly man, with soggy counten-
ance, erect and vivacious, on q fiery
Arab horse. He is commonly called
Napoleon. And then there was a
suave and dignifed old gentleman,
toward seventy, with white side
whiskers and a helmet like Bis
marck's, with the same motto on it
that the soldiers wear. "Gott, Fuerst
and Vaterland." He was garrulous
and full of wit, and praised the
French cavalry, which is notably
bad. He was William of Prussia,
and he spoke such bad French that
Napoleon was compelled to converse
with HIM in English, one other man
of note was present-a certain Alex
aDder of Russia, who sat apart from
the rest and sulked. He may appear
at later period on the stage
Every one can remember Bis
marck's long walks through Paris,
when he was there and no one will
doubt that he knows it's strategic
plan as thoroughly as any stranger
can. Now that the gay capitol is
in state Of siege, and the Prus-
slams are preparing to cut the French
mems threats, this visit of Bismarck's
assumes some Importance. Both he
and King William are said to have
found Napoleon much more ignorant
on the subject of German alliances
than they expected, and for the past
three years they have labored to
keep him in that bliss. Diplomatic
and private agents have been en-
ployed to deceive the French EN-
peror, who has always thought that
in Baden, Bavaria and Wurtemberg
he could find allies. To-day he re-
allies his mistake; and to-day he is
doubtless bitterly sorry he ever in
vited Bismarck and King William to
Paris.-Ed'oard King, IN the Boston
Journal.

How the Women Vote.

Last winter the Legislature OF
Wyoming Territory passed law al
lowing women to vote and hold office,
and at the general election held
some days ago they voted for the
first time we believe. A dispatch
from Rawlins Springs, dated the
18th inst, gives this account of how
the women voted:
"OurTerritoria election, one week
ago to-day, passed off very quietly.
There were no sneers, no profanity,
no fighting. The women went to the
polls as quietly as if they were 60
ing to church. They seemed to be
conscientious as to what candidates
were worthy of their suffrage, many
refusing to vote for men on account
of incompetence. 1t was an agree
able surprise to know that the Re-
publicans could carry this Territory,
as one year ago the Democracy
elected their delegate to Congress
by 1900 majority. Wyoming has
been redeemed by the vote Of the
women. As near as we can estimate
the number, between 400 and 500
women voted for VIM. L. Jones, the
Republican candidate for Congress,
while less than one-third that num-
Der voted for Wanless, the Demo-
cratic candidate. We know of few
other men who could do as much for
our young Territory in Congress as
Mr.. Jones. He was formerly a citi-
zen of Indiana"
The opponents Of woman suffrage
must admit that the women of Wy
oming have shown a great deal OF
discretion in the exercise of their
new found rights. 1t is evident that
rum and Democracy are two thlagS
to which the women of Wyoming 40
not take kindly. The advocates OF
womens rights can point with reas-
enable exuItation to the results OF
this first exercise of the rights OF
suffrage by the women.-MtI0aukee

THE SOLDIERS GREETING.

At the grand soldiers reunion
held at Des Moines, Iowa, on We'd
nesday, last, the Grafton was delivered
ed by Secretary Belknap, which we
extract the following eloquent para
graphs
No greeting is more heartfelt than
soldier gives to soldier after years of
separation no clasp of the hand is
given with firmer grasp than when
comrades of battles and camps and
marches renew the friendships of
days which tried stout hearts and
tied true men together as with bands
of steel ; no words ever fall from lips
with warmer welcome than those
which tell of the recognition of face
as that of one which looked in ours
in times of wars and danger-as fami-
liar now, save in the. few touches
which time has given, as it was then
no eyes glisten more brightly with
the renewed affection of former years
than those of veterans whose quick
glances reveal at once the martial
memories which each look calls forth 4;
no gatherings tell so much of all that
is noble, generous, and brave, IS those
which bring together companions in
peril, to meet again after the lapse
Of years and fight anew, in words,
the battles which have given their
part to history.
To-day those greetings are given,
to-day those hands are clasped and
with joyous satisfaction Of a Union
rescued and under the control of
peace. You are, in imagination, my
brothers, in the midst Of an army of
which you were part you are
among memories which no influences
can now dispel. In this presence
you stand to-day. The hour of war
has gone, but the booming of artil-
lery comes to your ears as it did then
the roll of musketry you seem to hear
as when the line of battle charged
the clang OF cavalry sabres is with
you once again the means of wound.
ed men are heard as when you were
in action the crash of battle is upon
you; the hurry, the shouting, the
hurrahs of the victcrs, the quiet camp
after all is over-these come to us in
memory, and yet are hardly Tealiz-
ed for, with glad hearts, and with
happiness on every face, you come to
give each other soldiers welcome
to talk of deeds which made those
years life to be remembered-the
| life of the volunteer.

CIvILITY.

The fact that "civility costs moth
ing" is probably the secret of its I'M
fashionableness. A thing that every
one can have, few think worth hav-
ing.
Men OF industry, of integrity, of
respectable intellectual gifts, are met
at every turn but your purely civil
man is q rdra avis. We are not
speaking of people in their social re-
.aVions, put In their intercourse with
tne outside world. Many men who
are everything that is genial and
courteous in the home circle. become
cold, brusque, or irritable the mo-
ment they enter their counting.
rooms, offices, or p lace of business,
whatever it may be. The playful,
indulgent ater.familias Of half an
hour before suddenly changes into
sur y ogre, who snaps up his little
pale faced clerk as if he would make
a supplementary breakfast of him.
Under such master it is no wonder
that the clerk in turn finds it impos-
sible to be civil to any stranger
whom the chance of business may
throw in his way.
AS general thing, clerks in mercan-
tile houses do not stand in need of
ungracious examples. Much deal
ing with complicated accounts seems
to sour the disposition. Fractions
beget righteousness. If you desire a
fine healthy specimen of irritability,
take an ancient bookkeeper at the
time he is making out his balance
sheet, and ask him the slightest
question not connected with his cal
culations. But for all people engag-
ed in strictly sedentary occupations
one should make generous allowance.
Men who hold positions which
bring them into contact with the
public, and place the public to a GER
tain extent at their mercy have no
right to be anything but civil. The
ticket-master at the railroad station
has no right to snub you because
you do not happen to know on which
track your train is. The conductor
has no right to regard you with
look Of disdain mingled with COM
miseration when you ask him the
name of the next station. You were
not born on the road, and if your in
terrogation, convinces him that you
are natural idiot, he ought to re-
spect your misfortune and not be-
tray it to the other passengers.
The hackman who groomily awaits
you at the terminus Of the Journey
has no right to hustle you as if you
were part of your own baggage.
The hotei-clerk, the natural humility
of whose disposition lies buried un,
der that monumental diamond pin,
has no right to treat you as an infe-
rior. Yet who that has travelled has
not met all these forms of incivility Z
This, to be sure, is only ono side of
the story. The traveller is almost as
likely to be exasperating as the en-
ployee of the road, or the clerk of
the hotel. But then the traveller is
not paid for being civil, and the 9TH
err gentlemen are.
1t costs so little and is worth so
much A young clerk with civility
already has a stock of goods of his
own. Regarded as mere policy, it is
the next best thing to honesty and,
like honesty, it is good for it's own
sweet self. An uncivil man is nee
essarily disconnected man, dis
comfort to himself. We beg leave
to add new sentiment to the copy
book Of the period: Be civil and
you will be happy !-EUery Saturday

THE HUMAN FACE.

Rev. J. +. McClelland thus ele-
quently writes Of the human face:
A wise man can read most Of your
facs. Only think Of it, Here is a
little patch Of white surface nine
inches long and SIX wide, and yet the
whole possibility of human feeling
and purposes reside in it. There is
the brow, sometimes clear and up
right, rejecting back heavens blue
gaze, sometimes lowering and cloud
ed with concious unrest. There is
the cheek, sometimes tinged and
glowing with pleasure, sometimes
blanched with Indignation. There is
the eye, that chiefest tell-tale of hui
man nature, sometimes mirrored
with incarnate good, then kindled
with fires of passion Or sharpened like
dagger with hate and malice.
There is every line and feature cloth
ed with moral expression. A mans
face is the front of his house. One
i'll looking at it is sure to see the kind
of inhabitants he keeps within. At
the doors and at the windows the in
mates show themselves, both angels
and demons. No concealment can
keep them long out of sight. There
are faces that domineer and faces that
devour-faces that magnetic and
faces that repel. Some are sinister,
some truthful, some pleading, some
frowning, some full Of faith, others
Of doubt and melancholy, some on
which peace lights like a holy dove,
and others SCARED and furrowed with
the storms of passion. Mans face is
the bulletin board of his heart and OF
his life. oh it is very glory TO
watch this human face-this dial
plate Of the soul-when men meet to
grasp hands and interchange
thoughts Not grander is the ever
varying beauty Of the landscape,
with its lights and shades, its hills
and fields, its mountains and rivers,
than are sublime movings of the soul
on the face Of man-movings that
are now joyous, now afflicted, now
softened, now imprisoned, now
struggling to conceal pang or rap
ture. lis a silent orchestra, thrill
ing in undertone with the richest,
fullest, and saddest of music Of the
human heart.
OF all the expressions possible to
the countenance we think the most
significant and distinctive is laughter.
IL can mean pleasure, or mockery or
applause, or sorrow or triumph, or
despair. 1t expresses what the
speech cannot. 1t is the flower that
blooms on the dry, hard stem OF our
social talk. Dull were the life IN
which there was no laughter, ana as
bad, too, fear. Men Of guilt don't
often laugh, or if they do, It's laugh
that searches and sears them to the
very quick. But with most men It's
the childish rompings of the spirit
within. the riotous outbreak of pleas
ure, ana delight and sympathy.

LF-We have been frequently as
sured of late by 'alf-and-'alf Demo-
cratic papers that the Democratic
paarty most cheerfully accepts
emancipation and acknowledgements,
that all old issues are dead, and that
questions of finance, tariff, and tax
alton are the only living questions.
Not so think the full-blooded eau
casian Democracy. The New Haven
LeUer is edited by the Private Sec
rotary of Governor English, and
therefore is the organ, we take it,
Of Connecticut Democracy. Hear
the Lever discourse of the ''nigger
voters"
"Any niger who votes the Dem
ocratic ticket, we repeat is a foolish
niger, but he isn't half the fool that
any white man would be who should
ask or try to persuade or drive a
niger to vote the Democratic ticket.
The niggers had better stick to the
party that his given them freedom
to loaf, lie, steal, freeze in winter,
and starve to death all the year
round. And, besides, we prefer
party victories without any of this
sort of help at the polls. When the
Democratic party ceases to be ex-
clnsively the white mans party, it
will lose only miserable tender to
the Black Republican train"
That is good, honest Democratic
doctrine. No skulking, no deception,
no pretence of accepting the situa-
ton about that. "When the Demo
cratic party ceases to be exclusively the
Ohite mans party, IT WILL LOSE ITS
GREAT DISTINCTIVE FEATURE" Pre-
cisely. And hence we say in sub
stance, though we don't spprove Of
the phraseolUgy, "any niger who
votes the Democratic ticket is fool.
