A Strange Nj

A writer tells the following queer story
Of an attempt TO rescue Macmillan from
his Mexican capturers. The plotters are
Maximilian's American Legion:
The interposition of the United States
saved Mexico from subiugation ty the
arms of France. But, subsequently,
when the American Government asked
the life of the Archduke Maximilian,
Mexico denied the request. When the
fact became known TO the American
Legion, that the request had been made
by the Cabinet at Washington and denied
by the Mexican authorities, the Ameri.
cans secretly resolved, at the hazard of
their lives, to place the Archduke safely
upon American soil. The undertaking
which they prepared themselves to exc
cute was nothing less than the abduction
of Maximilian by stratagcm. The Arch
duke had surrendered and was in prison
his trial by drumhead court martial and
his sentence had already taken place
he awaited his execution. The plan of
the Americans, hastily maturcd, was to
surprise and capture his guard in the
night, to take him from the prison,
mount him upon fleet horse, and escort
him, under the protection of the Legion,
to Matamoras. and thence across the
Rio Grande into Texas.
Every detail of this enterprise was
carefully attended to nor did it need
the pleading of their country-woman-
the Princess Salm-Salm to nerve them
to the task. But destiny was against
them m unforeseen circumstance pre-
vented them from even making the at
tempt. On the morning of the very
day they had selected to rescue the
prisoner, they were suddenly and pc
ordered to march, at min
ntes notice on special duty, to the
capital of Mexico. Remonstance was
Every plea that wit could
invent was made to induce Escobedo to
or postpone the execution
)f his order. But the Mexican was con-
He evidently suspected
'o"p de main by the Americans. He knew
he relation which existed between the
Princess and the Emperor and he
'ecollected, perhaps with some chagrin,
hat the American Legion had escorted
he lady through the lines during the
iege at Queretaro. These reasons may
lave Influenced the Mexican commander
n making his decision but he left the
american Legion no alternative, and
hey very reluctantly abandoned their
,lan for Maximilian's rescue,

Wearers of paper collars may be inter
ested in the reports on the manufacture
of paper i'll Japan, which have lately been
printed for the British Parliament.
There seems to be no reason why they
should not wear not only paper collars
but also paper shirts, and washable pa
per coats and trousers, by taking advan-
tage of the process described as follows
Mode of making paper cloth, war
ranted to wash G Shifu y. Take some
of the paper called hosho, or some of
the best senka. and dye it of the color
required. Boil some of the roots called
Kon-niakw-no dame, with the skin
on ; try them with the inner portion of a
rice stalk when IL penetrates easily
they are sufficiently boiled. Peel them
and let the water run off, and then pound
them in paste. Spread this paste on
either side of the paper, and let it dry in
the sun till quite stiff. Then sprinkle
water on it until it is thoroughly damp
ed, and leave it in that state for a night
The next morning roll it upon a bamboo
of the thickness of the shaft of an arrow,
and force it with the hands from either
end into a crumple in the centre I; unroll
it, and repeat this process two or three
times, rolling it from each side and cor
ner of the paper. Then crumple it well
in the hands 10y rubbing it together un-
til it becomes quite soft, and then sprinkle
water on it again to damp it, Pull it out
straight and smooth, fold it up, and
pound it with wooden mallet. 1t may
then be put into water as much and as
often as is liked without sustaining in
jury, having become strong and lasting
material.
This cloth is made principally in the
Damiate of Sendai. Boxes, trays, and
even saucepans may be made of this
cloth and saucepans thus manufactured
sustain no injury over strong charcoal
heat. Bags may be made of it, in which
wine may be put and heated by insertion
in boiling water.

The Social Problem in Germany.

Bismarck, it is n, has hit upon
startling measure fo. laying the discon
tent of workingmen. 1t is reported tina
he intends to prepare bill "for th,
regulation of the profits of manufactur
ing associations, providing that when
the profits reach a certain percentage
the surplus shall be divided among the
working-men employed in them. The
bill applies only to manufacturing com
panies, but most of the large manufac-
turing establishments in Germany are in
the hands of associations, so that the
importance and hearing of the bill are
obvious. 1t is bold step toward social
ism. Five years ago no one in Germany
except the followers of Ferdinand Las
selle would have ventured to advocate
such measure. To-day the social pro-
blem has assumed so threatening an
aspect that even reactionary organs, such
rs the Berlin Kreus-ZeH,Aag, freely admit
that something must be done, and done
very quickly, to prevent a general social
convulsion, while even such cautious
liberal journals as the Augsburg AHge-
meine Zeitung and the Hamburg Neps
advocate laws to secure the working-men
some share in the profits of their labor.
The German govern ut announces that
it will not interfere in any manner what
ever between the employers and their
as to the hours and wages
of labor, but will leave these questions
to be decided by themselves. This of
course will be welcome news to the
but they will offer most
determined resistance to the bill of the
Chancellor. The debate on this bill
will certainly attract attention through
1ut the world
