Bismarck has refused the request OF
several North German Governments to issue
an order prohibiting the sales OF certain Ger
man-AmerIcan newspapers in the German
Empire, saying ''that would only increase
their circulation In this country tentold."
The defeat of France by Germany was not
such bad thing for. the former nation after
all, ifone of the results is to be, as now ap-
pears probable, the general education OF the
youth of both sexes IN that country, where
heretofore, In the rural districts, the number
of educated persons was astonishingly small,
and man, other than the curate and doctor,
who could read, write and cypher, was phe-
nomenal being in some hamlets.
The grandest marriage which has oc-
Cured In London for many years was that OF
Miss Fox, the adopted daughter Of Lady Hol-
land, who was joined to the Prince Alloys
Liechtenstein recently. It was almost as
brilliant as royal wedding, and quite threw
the MARQUIS of Butes marriage In the shade.
Archbishop Manning oficiated on both these
occasions. Absolutely the whole fashionable
world of London as present on the day OF
Miss Fox's marriage, either 10 the cathedral
or at the breakfast, or at the garden party al

A correspondent of Vlena paper recently
saw the ex-Prince Imperial OF France at Chis-
elhurst, aud gives the following description Of
him: 'An .overgrown boy with pleasant
face, dreamy but meaningless eyes, manners
not very graceful, and a smile which reminds
you of that cold, freezing smile which his
father, the ex-Emperor, would put on when
he wanted to make himself amiable. The
Princes forehead is low, and shows that his
Intellectual capacity cannot be very great. His
teachers are said to be very much dissatisfied
with the slow progress ne makes IN his stud

The far West is becoming populated with
q rapidity that is truly marvellous. The ad-
yantages offered to settlers upon railroad
grants; the liberal terms upon which govern
ment lands can be acquired; the fertility OF
virgin soil; the fixed belief In ste ady west
ward march of population; the certainty that
the best wheat producing area OF the United
States has already crossed the Mississippi, and
the unvarylug tendency Of American emigra-
ton to keep considerable distance ahead OF
civilization, have all tended, and are sill
tending, to affect such settlement. The rail.
roads are now forming great arteries, with In
Vulnerable branching veins, through all this
region. There will be before many years pass
away no fertile valley from Omaha to Calitor-
mia, and from the Yellowstone River to the
Bio Grande, that will not support its little
community, or cluster of communities, of pio-
neers; and the gap OF comparatively unknown
country between the Eastern and Pacific
States will be no longer In existence.

excItes much curiosity on account Of his
strange history. he was formerly In the ser
vice of the Empress of China, who had con-
fded to him the charge of certain fan. repre-
senting the Imperial dragon, worked In green
upon yellow field. This fan was q sacred
affair, and descended from the late Emperor,
and the Empress Intended to deliver 1t to her
son upon the day of his marriage Unhappily,
Tsaug one day broke the fan, and was con-
demned, In consequence, to decapltation.
Being person of ingenuity, however, Tsang
managed to extricate himself from his d.
lemma by sezing the throat of his Intended
executioner, before that funstionary had drawn
his sword, and thus strangled him. AS there
was no witness to this affair, he dressed hiHI-
selfin the extinct executioner's attire, escaped
without suspicion, and embarked upon a
French steamer which was about leaving port.
"A French correspondent gives an inside
view of the princely and at the same time
homely bazaar system OF France, which, since
the resurrection of trade, from its Temporary
prpstration after the war, has become more
complete than ever. As specimen, and one
Of the best of them, the Magasin Bon Marche,
in. Paris, Is selected, which does business of
about six million dollars In gross receipts
year. Though neminally one and under the
same proprletorship, the establishment is
divided into twenty-five shops, each of which
is entirely independent of the Others The
building covers four thousand square yards,
and ia flve stories high. Less than twenty
years ago small draper's shop stood upon the

are provided for them, and an elegant draw

rooms are connected with it. The salaries
