Emperor William, Of Germany, is model
of abstemiousgess and system in eating. He
takes but two small meals daily. Upon rising
he takes eupof coffee; at neon he INDUCES
in roast beef and potatoes. With glass 81
claret; and at seven in the evening he eats his
supper, which consists of bread, sausage, and
a cup of tea. Persons who are honored Win

IT is noteworthy tribute to the press
that both the candidate for President and the
candidate for vlce-President on the Cincn-
natl ticket were OF the press 'craft." Mr..
Greeley commenced his career as printers
apprentice. He was then journeyman, ana
then a publisher and editor. Governor Brown
founded the ST. Louis Democrat, and made
his reputation as It's editor. On the press,
eyery dsy, more and more devolyes the bur-
den of counsel and direction In all public and
social matters. Independent journalism fash
ions legislation, hunts down rogYery, and
holds up honesty wherever 1t may be found.
Norfolk, Va, was the scene OF roman
tic marriage few days ago, the bride having
crossed the ocean alone to be united to her
lover. The facts in the case are as follows:
Several months ago the young man came to
America to seek his fortune. Landing at
Norfolk, he went on to Richmond, where he
readily obtained work. When he saw he had
prospect of steady employment he wrote to
his hetrothed to come over, and she, with
true woman's faith, left friends and home,
and, after long voyage, landed safely and
the marriage took place without super fuous
delay.
One .humor Of the canvass has already
developed. A dispatch from New Orleans an
nonnces that white hats have been adopted In
that city, and the demand for them on the
day succeeding the nominations at Cincinnati
depleted the dealers stocks. From Cincln-
natl we read: '.The entire Louisiana delega-
tion went home thus equipped, and the Hon.
John Wentworth has appeared in the same
speckless head-piece on the streets, and an
nounced that white hats are going to be the
fashion in Illinois until after November >
MIR. Greeley's biography we are told how,
as boy, he read every book he could lay
hands on by the light of pine knots. Perhaps
the pine knots will come into the present
Presidential campaign aleng with the white
hats, the whole somewhat grotesque; perhaps
las the coon skins and log cabins of 40 were
but sign Of the times, portentous of political
movement. Adapting a line from Macaulay's
.Battle Of Ivry,n Mr. Greeley might cry to
his followers: "And be your orlfamme to-
day the tile OF Chappaqua."
The origin Of the Carllst troubles in Spain
has close relation to the question OF wo-
mans rights: In the year 1929, Ferdinand
VII being then in his forty-siXth year, wild
over and childless, married young wife,
Christinc, Bourbon of the Two Sicilies.
This young woman induced King Ferdinand
to annul the Salic law which governed the
succession and excluded females from the
throne Of Spain. The law was aunulled about
four months previous to the birth OF the first
child, Maria Isabella. Another daughter was
born, and the king died In 1888. Under the
Sallc law Don Carlos, Ferdinand's younger
brother, had been the next In succession to the
throne: but that law having been annulled by
royal decree, the infant, Maria Isabella, was
proclaimed Queen. Don Carlos was banished,
and the popular rlsings in his favor promptly
suppressed by the Regent, Queen Christina.
The Carlists, however, again rose in rebellion,
and. after bloody struggle of seven years
duration, the,eontest was settled in favor of
the Queen. The Don Carlos OF to-day is the
grandson of the prince in whose behalf the
party was first established. he is married to
a Bourbon of the House of Parma, by whom
he has one son and two daughters.
