Newspaper CurIOsItie. I'm Berlin.

1t will hardly be possible (writes o cor
respondent of the Chicago Tribune from
Berlinl for an American to conceive OF the
stiffness of the objections to allowing
newspapers to be sold in the streets of
Berlin. In an addres sent by the presi
dent of the police to tIe editors of the diff
ferent journals, he exclaims in perfect hor
ror that "boys of every age offer copies Of
newspapers, fy-sheets and dispatches to
any chance passerby, and often shout
aloud the contents of their papers, so that
| they evidently disturb the citizens on the
streets and the peace of those in private
houses, where there are not infrequently
sick and wounded soldiers
If anything appears in newspaper dis
tasteful to the censors OF the press, its pub
lication is prohibited. If it should escape
their notice, and 30 appear in print never
theless, the whole edition will be confs
Gated, so that neither editor nor cores
pondent can venture anything out of the
| ordinary channel. We hear nearly every
day that some editor has been arrested or
| his issue confscated. What makes it still
harder for the newspaper to flourish in
Berlin is, that almost nobody reads them
in the American sense. Three or fonr
families sometimes club together to take q
paper, but the great majority Of families
| take none.
The people who Tish to read go into the
beer saloons and restaurants, and accord
ingly, in every one of these are found the
principal dailies and weeklies. SALOONS
are about the only regular subscribers
| here.) And it is thought to be enough if
one ordinarily reads the paper every few
days, or if he reads one three or four days
old. AS to war news. the official dis
patches are thought sufficient to keep the
people posted. Zone hundred and six, in
all, have appeared since the beginning OF
the war; I have talked with some very
intelligent men on this subject, who said
that if there was anything more in the
newspapers it would have TO be false that
the German papers contain about all the
news of importance, and what more could

The two-feet gauge road is coming into
use IN this country. Several are being
built IN Canada, one from New York into
Connecticut, and one from the iron re

m1rable means of inter-sectional railway
transportation, having built one as a feeder

An Insane Woman Make Fearful Use or
Hatchet

Mrs. Rebecca King, a rather elderly
woman, residing as housekeeper in the
dwelling of Mr.. VIM. Connor, on Fourth
street, Philadelphia, on Friday evening
last attacked that gentleman with O hatchet
while he was asleep in his bed striking
him In the head Awakened by the blow,
which was quickly repeated, and again re-
peated, he sprang from bed and retreated
to the yard, tracking his way in blood
His sssailant first threw the lamp at him
and then pursued, still clutchirg her
weapon. Faint already with the loss of
blood, he could not resist her, and in the
yard she seized him by the throat and

his head. But at this juncture ex-Police

Esq, who had been attracted to the house
by the cries of Murder - uttered by
MI. COnnor, and who had entered
her uplifted hand and disarmed her.
Both Mrs. King and the wounded man
were then conducted into the house. -
They were in their night-clothes. AS soon
as the woman was dressed, Sergeant Heiss
took her to the seventh district station
house. While on the way, in answer to
question, Why did you attack Mr.. Connor?
she said, ''The devil told me to do it, and
continued, 'I had big nights work be
fore me, and am so sorry did not him in
the right place." She was evidently in
sane. At the station house she remained
until morning, when she was taken away
by her son, Sam. King, to This house, No.
944 New Market street. On Sunday night,
as Mr.. King and his wife and child were
asleep in bed, Rebecca obtained another
hatchet, and, proceeding to the sleeping
apartment, struck her son twice on the
head, and inflicted wound on her daugh-
ter in law. She was about to deal simi-
lar injury to the child, but the cries of the
wounded ones attracted come of the neigh
bors to the spot. who disarmed the woman
and placed her in custody. She was found
to be insane, and was sent to the insane
department of the almshouse. The inju-
ries of Mr.. and Mrs King are not of Sc
rious character. Mr.. Connor is badly but
not dangerously cut.

"A BRnd-Mnster Disciplined

In the Gossip" the following story il
told of visit made by Captain Alexander
Murray, OF the American navy, to the
King of Denmark
The king remarked to his guests that
this was residence he had owned while a
private gentleman, and he was sure tbsv
would appreciate his receiving them there
as a higher compliment and greater eyi-
dence Of his friendship for their country
than if he had treated them with more Ger
emony. This country house was built of
white marble with French windows OPEN
ing upon verdant lawn, and in size and
appointments not much superior to the
country residences OF some of our merchant
princes. After the preliminary COURSES
had been despatched, his msiesty filed an
immense goblet, and, with a grand sweep
OF his arm, designed as signal to the band
stationed on the lawn in full view of the
windows, he proposed, The United States
OF America Crash went the instruments
but, to the horror of those present. ipstead
of pouring forth, as had been intended ona
of Columbia's national airs, they str11ck m
ponderous melody of Scandinavia.
The King said "never q word" bnt put-
ting down bis glass, he strobe through the
open window on to the lawn, and seizino
the band master by the collar, kicked him
around the enclosure several times, and
dismissing him at last with vigorous
shake. walked quietly back to his eeat.-
AS may be supposed, a sudden silence fell
upon the assembled company, the code OF
etiquette furnishing no rule or preceden,
whereby guests might guide themselves
when royal hosts kicked their band mast
ers. Onr worthy representatives relied
upon a state of mastery inactivity and
fortunately the delinquent leader coon
scrambled to his place and gave them full
blast of democratic harmony.
