LA REPRESENTATION"
81 CORRESPONSAL.

Ell corresponsal de La Representa-
ctoss en- Madrid, no debe tener mucho
carino al peri6dico para que esclibe,
pues no Sc comprende que, 81 asi no
fuera, lie sacara los colores al rostro y
empezase su correspondence dicien-
do que el Gobierno ha admitido la di-
mission que repetidas veces hizo el Sr.
General Baldrich; asi 10 manifesto en-
su carta del % de agosto desmintien-
do tenninantemente & La Represen-
tt1cion que en- su nGmero correspon-
diente al 18 de agosto y bajo el rubro
No RS vERDAD aseguraba con todos
los humos de peri6dico semi-ofcial,
que ell Sr. General Baldrich no habia
prcsentado su dimision de Captain
General de esta Isla en- los siguicntes
terminos:
''No hay tai dimision, como esta no Sc
haya hecho de un modo sub-recticio cri-
minal.
Ell Gobierno del Rey conece la verdade-
ra situacion de Puerto-Rico, y la conoce
con los detalles mas minuciosos. Por con-
siguiente, el General Baldrich no ha te-
nido para que hacer dim;sion de su eleva-
do cargo, carg1 que ejercera mentras me-
rezca la confanza del Rey y la de sus
amigos que hoy Sc hallan al frente de los
destinos de la Patria, no hacienda politica
de banderlas, polltica de partidos, sino la
poltica que juzguen prudente aplicar al
gobierno do esta provincial los poderes
supremos de la Nacion."
Ell querer ser peri6dico que re-
cibe inspiraciones del Gobierno trae
tambien sus disgustos, y no hojo
es el que debe haber sufrido La
Representation al yer que por mas
que Sc daba tantas 1nfulas, NADIA
saba respecto a un asunto tan vital
como la dimision del Sr. Baldrich que
por fuerza debi6 ser hecha antes de
publicarse La Representation del Is,
pues fue admitida por el Gobierno de
la Nacion el dia 19 del mismo mes, y
no es possible que en- "a horas pudie-
ra llegar la dimision de aquf 4 Madrid.
La noticia que califc6 de "estupen-
da" ha salido cierta, y no hay mas re-
medic que convenir 8 que La Repre-
serstaciom Nacional hablaba de 10 que
no saba, comprometiendo personas
que no debia y entonces el Gobierno
Superior debi6 ponerla q raya para
10 sucesivo, 8 que la dimision del
General "se ha hechode un modo SUBJ
repticio y criminal" en- cuyo case de-
be procederse la oportuna forma-
cion de causa. Nosotros no creemos nj
puede pasar por nuestra imagination
que haya sucedido este tltimo por

The new Imperial House of Germany, it Is
stated. can be traced back TO a certain Count
Frederick Won Zollern, who was a favorite OF the
Emperor Frederick L., and through his pat
ronage was, in 1880, married to the daughter
and heiress of the Burggrave of Nuremburg, and,
in 1892, was publicly installed as Burggrave, an
Office which continued in the family for six sue
ceeding generations The Burggraves were faith
full servants to the Emperors, and entered into
their secret and confidential schemes. The En-
peror Sigismund took particular interest in Burg
grave Frederick, and made him his chief agent
in the plans for restoring the full-power of the
Roman Empire, and part of the design was to be
effected by constituting Frederick King of Rome.
This project was not carried out but as a prelim-
mary move the Burggrave, in l4l5. was invested
with the Marquisate of Brandenburg. with the
rank of Elector. In May, l4l7, Frederick l..
was installed as the first Elector, and the House
of Zollern, or Hohenzollern, as it came to be
called, was removed from South to North Ger
many, and became the chief defenders of the
Empire against the aggressions of the Sclavonic
tribes. By treaties and wars the border land
was enlarged, and on January 18th, 170l, Fred
erick Ill. crowned himself with great pomp at
the palace of Konigsberg. and declared himself
King of Prussia. After an increasing struggle
OF ITO years the Kingdom of Prussia has extended
its boundaries and become an Empire and the
most powerful nation on the Continent of Europe.

THE CURE OF CATARRH.-Now that the
much dreaded disease, catarrh, is so pre-
valent through the country, we deem the
following, which we clip from an ex.
change, well-timed, and personal knowl-
edge of its efficiency can unhesitatingly
recommend it to our readers:
Take one part finely pulverized salt
petre, mix with two parts white sugar re-
duced to -four. This is an ehectual rem
edy in all steppages of the head. It must
be snufed up the nose dozen times or
more day, according to the severity of
the affection. Persons frequently die from
catarrh in the head, the disease becoming
SO bad that the mucus, instead of dis
charging through the nose, as it should
do, falls down the throat and lodges on the
lungs, producing many sore throat, the
cause of which is not suspected, and ter
minating fatally, in many instances, in
that most dreadful of all diseases, con-
sumption.

SUMMER PRUNING GRAPEs.-Grape
vines ever so carefully pruned in winter,
will need more or less summer pruning.
From many of the buds two or more
shoots will issue, and these must be
thinned out, or all removed except one.
Shoots will also start from latent and ad-
ventitious buds upon various portions of
the main stem and branches, and if none
are wanted to fill up vacant places upon
the trellis they should be rubbed off as
soon as they appear. All of this kind of
work can be done without the aid of pru
ming knife or shears, and so rapidly that
a man can go over half acre or per day
The Inexperienced vineyardist is always
prone to leave more shoots than are
either beneficial or necessary, particularly
! if they show signs of fruiting. While
small, the young shoots appear to have
plenty of room for development, and the
little cluster of flowers makes such
an insignificant show that we can hardly
imagine how much space they will occu
Ply when fully developed. No two shoots
should be allowed to grow nearer thar
eight inches, and FOR coarse, vigorous
growing varieties, twelve is far better.

SUBSTITUTE FOR THE PoTATo.-For-
rest Sheppard, Potosi, Mo-, in the Rural
Hsrold, calls attention to the "Eatable
rooted Lily Of Chill and Peru as substi-
tute for the potato" He says: "It is
known as Alstroemer's tuberous lily, and
has been introduced to the notice of the
farmers and gardeners of Europe as a
substitute for the potato. Its tubers
weigh from three to six OUNCES, are oval,
and not furnished with eyes like the
potato. It's stems are slender. and Irvine
on other plants or sticks for support, its
leaves ovate; its flowers mixed with red,
and green and yellow, and its blossoms
appear in June and July. It's tubers are
cooked for food in Chill, Peru, and other
places.

A ROMANCE. week ago, in the
south part of town, in the timber, were
camped two wagon loads of gypsies, about
sixteen in number. Among them was a
beautiful girl neatly attired in gypsy COS
tune, with black flowing tresses. Our
informant obtained the information from
her mother, and it can be relied
upon as correct. The party had lived in
GAINESVILLE, Ohio, and a young man of that
place had become enamored of this young
girl, and sought her hand in marriage,
which thes mother objected to, and in
company with this party was travelling to
the Far West for the purpose of getting
away from this young man. He had re.
ceived the sympathy of her step-father
whom the mother refused to live with
The story is that the young girl is an
heiress and that the young man is in
rather poor circumstances and hence the
objection, The young man and his asso,
clate made their appearance at the camp
ing ground in this city, and sought to
force the girl to accompany him. The
mother interfered, and war of words
ensued. A proposition was made that if
the mother would agree in writing that
when the lover had acquired some means
he should have the prize, and he would
not give her further trouble This she
refused to agree to. The girl was inclined
to go, but her parent would not allow her
to do so. The young man drew knife
and the mother pistol, and were about
to engage in mortal combat, when the
daughter sprang between them. The pis-
toll was snapped twice, but failed to go
off, The lover and the step-father left
Immediately, and nothing more of interest
transpired at that time. The mother told
our informant that they had repeatedly
tried to get her child away, and that she
would shoot him the next time without
saying q word Bloomington Leader.

To KEEP MILK SwEET.-A teaspeonful
of fine salt or of horse-radish, in
a pan of milk, will keep it sweet for sew.
eral days. Milk can be kept year or
more as sweet as when taken from the
COW, by the following method: Procure
bottles, which must be perfectly clean,
sweet and dry i; draw the milk from the
cow into the bottles, and, as they are fill
ed, Immediately cork them well, and
fasten the cork with pack thread or wire.
Then spread little straw in the bottom
of boiler, on which place the bottles,
with straw between them, until the boil
er contains sufficient quantity. Fill it
up with cold water, heat the water, and
as soon as it begins to boil, draw the fire
and let the whole gradually cool. When
quite cold, take out the bottles and
pack them in sawdust in hampers, and
stow them away in the coolest part of the
house.

DIFFERENCE IN THE CosT OF Ola.
MoNDs.-Considering the precious stones
simply an article of merchandise, their
value depends on their intrinsic beauty
and the general public has some difficulty
in approaching this point. A correspon.
dent, who speaks by authority, defines
the difference In cost and quality very
clearly as follows:
1.-TWO diamonds may be precisely the
same weight, but one is valued at 800
and the other at $500. When thew are
shown, and the difference of value stated,
the person wishing to purchase may
evlnce some surprise, and ask, lis not a
diamond az diamond?' Yes, but dia-
mond may have three capital faults, any
one of which detracts from it's value.
1t may not be a good color; it may have
flaws; or owing to defectiye shade. be
too thick or too thin, and not have the
luster which better formed stone.
though lighter in weight, possesses. In
the United States this question is often
asked by the purchaser: SIS the stone a
perfect one?' IF the jeweler is conscien.
tious, his reply should be, if the gem
under examination is good one, "A per.
feet stone, a diamond absolutely perfect,
is almost impossible to find. The dia.
mond you are looking at is magnificent
in every respect. It is as near perfect as
color, shape, fire-polish, and absence Of
flaws can make it, but it is not absolutely
perfect. If it was SO, could readily sell
it at three times the price I ask for it,
Perhaps the New York market is the
hardest to suit. We are exceedingly
hard to please in diamonds, and we do
not tolerate anything in the way of gems
but those of the very finest quality, and
reject stones which might find ready pur-
chasers on the continent. To be prof
cient in diamonds requires years of
patient study, and, as all of us, now and
then, make outlays for those costly arti-
Giles, we know of no measure of security
save in the probity of the merchants deal
ing in them"

An ingenious machine for making
bricks is described in the columns Of
Engineering" also stamping-press for
producing what is known as mosaic
bricks. The former machine cuts the
clay as it is carried forward on an endless
band ina continuous stream from the puo
mill, by means of series of radial wires
stretched upon large wheel which
travels at the velocity required to cut the
brick to size, and which is set at an angle.
so as to counterfeit tho forward motion
of the clay and to insure square cut,
The wonderful facility and perfect accu
racy characterizing these operations
almost render brick-making one of the
fine arts.

A CALIFORNIA MONTE CRIsTo.
Hayward is the hero of a story equal to-

Chamberlaine at last went away discon-

The latt worked at the thing for
months, and was buried deeper and deep

were next to starving, all his laborers left

world except Chamberlain.
'My God p he sale to this man, who
had meantime been engaged in stock
raising, II am on the verge Of this great
strike. I know it Can't you give me q
little money ?"
Chamberlain had been on the verge
