The GERMAN H cart-BreaK era.

From the st. Louis Republican,
They do things in Germany different
from our customs, and much better than
we do. A marriage engagement is with
the Germans a more serious thing than
it is with us. 1t carries with it the force
Of solemn compact, and some OF the
responsibilities of marriage contract
already performed. The engagement is
known to all the friends of the parties;
it is published in the newspaper, and is
regarded almost as irrevocable as
marriage itself. In Cassel two army
officers, one of them count and an ad-
jut4nt were discussing the susceptibility
Of women, and the count made a wager
with the other that he, poor as he was,
could win the affections of any rich
heires the two might agree upon, and
become engaged to marry her. They
settled that the count should lay siege to
the heart of very pretty and very rich
young girl, the daughter of widow
whose former husband was a noted gam
bier.
The suit succeeded; the engagement
was soon made and published. The
count was victorious and won the bet, it
being a gorgeous wine supper. He then
thought the joke had gone about far
enough, and wrote the young lady that
il would be impossible for him to keep
the engagement to marry her, because
her father was a gambler The affair
made a great deal of public scandal,
and the German chroniclsr of these
events states that the story came to the
ears of the Emperor William, who
strongly disspproTed of the whole pro-
ceedings Of his army officers, The sup
per was prepared, and the count and his
friends we're about sitting down to their
viands and champagne, when an order
came for the arrest Of the two officers,
~ho had so disgraeed their cloth and
manufactured scandal. They were not
permitted TO drink their wine, and they
now await a trial by court martial That's
the way they tried these harmless little
Jokes in Germany, W.

spanish Conceit.

| A serious obstacle TO reform in Spain
is the invariable impression which de-
ludes every Spaniard, that his country is
first among the nations Of the earth, and
he will not confess anything that would
cast a slur upon her. Thus when King
Amadeo left for Portugal, though he had
resigned kingly power, he was assailed
all along the route with everything from
epithets to bullets. Some of his Spanish
attendants acknowledge this, but most
OF them deny it for the reason that it
would put them in bad light
among other civilized nations. The
administration Of Justice is another
point which Injuries the sympathies
Of the people and makes them
swift to throw responsibility for human
suffering upon the government. The
shadow of the Soldero is a great demor-
alizer. King Amadeo's Secretrry at one
time, not long ago, hearing a noise in
front of the palace one afternoon rushed
out with an attendant to find q man
stabbed and the crowd standing around
at respectful distance offering no assist
ance. The Secretary went to the dying
man, undid his clothes to discover the
extent of the wounds and called upon
the crowd to assist him. All, including
the royal servants, refused to touch the
body alleging as excuse that. the muir
dered man must remain where he was
until the arrival Of the judge. In vain
did the Secretary appeal to those present
in the name of humanity; all turned a
deaf ear to his entreaties. Shortly after
ward some one caught sight of the coming
Judge, and announced the fact, upon
which one and all hastened nimbly to
depart, leaving not soul on the spot but
the Secretary and the royal servants.
The Secretary explained to the Judge
what had occurred, upon which the lat
ter declared he must arrest him. But
| am the Kings Secretary, and came out
to assist this dying mani exclaimed the
astonished Italian. That is no fault Of
mine" retorted the Justice; " all per
sons found on the spot where crime
has been committed must be arrested.
AS once in the bastile there is no GER
tainty of securing trial for months and
even years, it is not strange that Madrid
should produce but few good Samaritans,
nor that the reverse of cruel selfishness
or at least Indifferent people should be
the rule

Warming OF "a Minister of the
fdnnneI


From the Now Orleans Herald May sth.l
On Tuesday while the police reinforce
ments were mastering at the First Dis
trict precinct and Governor Kellogg
was in attendance to witness their pra
parations and fire their hearts for the
| fray, a tall, well dressed, clerical looking
parsonage presented himself at the door
of the station, which was guarded by
two Metropolitans with muskets. The
gentleman inquired of the sentinels il
he could see Governor Kellogg. They
crossed their muskets and told him mo
he could not enter" He persisted in
his demand, declaring that he had i'm,
portant business with the Governor aud
must see him. A corporal approached
him and asked him his name.
II am James S. White, minister OIL
the gospel, and citizen of Attakapas.

Il want to warn him to cease from
making war on our people, and to i'm.
press him with proper sense of his
duty to protect the lives and homes OF
my countrymen from the horrors of a
war of invasion.
Guess the Governor don't care to see
and hear you" was the remark of one
of the Meropoltans, .ia
"Only let me be face to face with him
and may rescue him from terrible
peril which hangs over him
The guard manifcsting no very great
respect for the reverend gentleman, a
crowd having assembled in the mean
while around the door, Mr., White pro-
ceeded in an earnest and emphatic man
ner to say:
Tell Mr.. Kellogg, then, that l am u
grandson of man who was once among
the most honored in the land; that he
was distinguished member in that
august body, of which he OK. was a very
humble member, the Senate of the United
States. His name was Hugh l.. White,
of Tennessee.

lived in Nashville with my father and
mother during our civil war Returning
to my home after an absence in the
country, when the Federal troops occu-
pied that town, found it the scene of
one of the most infamous of all the deeds
of blood and vandalism in that unhappy
contest. Ny venerable father and mother
had been murdered by the soldiers, and
our once happy home desolated and
abandoned. Shocked and infuriated by
the horrid spectacle, / rushed madly
into the Confederate lines, enlisted and
fought through the war, and participated
in its many rcvengeful and cruel scenes;
and now, as a contrite and sincere
Christian, | feel the great enormity and
sinfulness Of all such conflicts.
81 deemed it my duty to come here
and admonsh Mr.. Kellogg of the grave
responsibilities assumed by him in inau-
gurating a strife of arms among breth-
rem who should live together in peace
and amity. b'y
"If you will not let me see him, de-
liver these my words to him, and say
they are from James S. White, of ST.
Mary"
Tie solemn tone, fearless and digni-
fed bearing of the reverend gentleman,
produced deep impression upon all his
auditors. A well known citizen, who
bad overheard him, then stepped up,
and offering his arm, the two walked
down st. Charles street.
