Several years ago dinner was given in
the Astor House, at which the speeches
touched upon some Of the important inter
ests of the day. The unsophistcated Horace
noticed the banquet editorially, winding up
with sharp allusion.to the convivial char
acter of the party, naming IIedsck and
champagne as among the liquors disposed Of.
When he entered the editorial room the next
morning several editors were at work who
had noticed their chiefs amusing blunder.

have adyices from Berlin from source
in which have great confidence to the ef'
feet that the resignation of Prince Bis
marck means nothing less than that the
great chancellor has received heavy check
and defeat. 1 am assured that the report
that this defeat and cheek is due to the alb
sence, through illness. of the crown prince is
entirely false This report makes out that
the crown prince is the especial friend and
supporter Of the chancellor; but 1 am told so
far from this being the case, the truth is that
his imperial hishness agrees with his mo-
ther, his wife and the other members Of the
family in viewing with alarm the conflict
with the catholic church which Bismarck
has urged on, and in desiring to wean the
emperor from his submission to Bismarck S
will. In this they have now succeeded, says
my informant, and it is probable that the
fight with the church will now be quietly
abandoned. Bismarck attempted to make
the Prussian cabinet entirely subservient to
himself-but this did not suit the other
ministers nor the king either; and when Bis

swamping the house of peers defeated, has

crown :princess, the kings old friends, the
other ministers, and the kings own judg-

his policy would ALLEVIATE from the throne
the nobility, the gentry, the clergy Lutheran
as we'll as Catholic, and all the conservative
interests in the kingdom; aud the old en-
peror put down his foot and said he would
go no further in the path that Bismarck had
marked out for him. The chancellor then
offered to resign. " He did not believe that
the emperor would accept it," says my in
formant; he believed that the emperor would
become alarmed, and beg him to retain his
Office at any price. But the old man went
out the room for few minutes and consult
ed with Augusta, who was in an adjoining
chamber, and when he came back his mind
was quite made up. Bismarck might go
his health was not strong enough to bear
the double burden of the empire and the
kingdom; he had better be relieved from
the work of taking care of Prussia, and give
himself rest for awhile" You will see how
important and significant is this view Of the
case.

nnon the island consisted of John Ellis, his
wife, two daughters and son SIX years OF
age.
As the waters began to rise the women
were wild with terror, and the anxious
watchers could hear them wailing and crying
out. At 2 o'clock the great rush came,
when the island was totally submerged. Two
horses and eight head of cattle, which were
in the stable, were at once drowned, as we'll
a, a number of hogs. Two heifers swan
through the ice and water and got upon a
rick of straw fodder. The rising ice carried
the rick fifteen OF twenty yards up to the
house, and they escaped to the porch of the
house. The island was noted for the great
number of rabbits which ran wild upon it.
These and large number of muskrats crowd

frightened were they by the frigid torrents
that rolled around. After the rise Mary
Ellis, girl of sixteen, hung table-cloth

John Ellis now thought the worst was
over, and was reluctant to to risk an escape;
but Mary said they might as we'll be drown

gorge in thirty-6ve minutes, scrambling
over the jagged edges of the ice as hastily as
possible. They were bruised and cut when
they got to land, but the daring deed was
safely accomplished Susan Ellis, who had
been living at Safe Harbor, had been almost
frantic with grief, and the whole town was
in painful suspense until they were saved.
Their losses were very severe; two crops of
tobacco, which had been stored away in the
cellar, the stock, damage to buildings, farm
implements, &C., will amount to over $4,000,
the greater portion of which, however, fahs

As the waters began to rise the inmates
of the house became very much alarmed, and
great anxiety for their safety was felt on
the main land. On Sunday morning Alonza
Herline, young man who was living with
the family, made a perilous excursion over
the gorge, which had not then risen, and
came to Safe Harbor to solicit aid, in order
to remove the family. As the waters began
to rise, no one dared to 90, but Frank Dabler,
Theodore Els, a son of John Els together
with Herline, waited upon the hill watching
their opportunity to help them. The family

Rancid Butter.

1t is question with many good
people whether it is wise to spread
certain kinds of information. People
who are inclined to cheat, it is said,
profit by this knowledge, and the
world is made worse. Ofcourse there
will always be some classes Of facts
which will not come under general
rule; hut as the rule it does good to
tell people how cheating is done The
man who wants to cheat generally
finds out how to cheat, and one of his
securities is that the public is ignorant
Of what is going on. When there is
room for suspicion, he of the other
party is on his guard.
In this spirit we give the following,
from Land and Water, not that we
would advise any one to impose half
rotten butter on good customer Gt
is not so much matter how a cross and
cantahkerous wretch is served), but
that those who want Il good article
may see how the thing is done: "Ran-
cid butter can be greatly improved in
quality by washing it thoroughly in
lime water; and then clearing out the
lime waterby good washing in cold
spring water. The lime-water is easi.
ly made by allowing a lump of limo
the size of the fist, to slake in a bucket
Of water, stirring it well, and after
wards allowing the lime to settle. 1t
is said that large business is now
done in England by sundry persons
who purchase rancid butterat low rates,
and sell it again at much higher prices,
after manipulating it in the manner
mentioned"

One of the most heart. rendin

One of the most heart rending
stories of the year comes from Fond
du Lac a young lady was passing
through a piece Of ground adjoining a
farm house with her lover, when the
girl was attacked by a savage dog.
Before her lover could protect her the
dog had seized her by the breast and
tore the breast from her body. When
the young man saw the dog shaking
portion of the body of his intended he
tainted away, The young lady, how
ever. did not faint. She was so morti-
fled that she seized fence rail and
went for that dog, and she pounded
him until he laid still When her
lover recovered, the young woman
was trying to hide one of the wire
screens that people put over plates to
keep the flies off. 1t seems that the
dog didn't draw blood, owing to the
fashions of Fond du Lac, which it is
needless to describe. However there
is great excitement at Fond du Lac,
and the young man has broken off his
engagement and has bought that deg
what there is left of him, and he is
going to set him again. La Crosse

Keeping Apples.

A correspondent Of the Cultivator
states that he kept 1900 bushels of
apples mostly Baldwins, through the
past winter and spring in his cellar.
He claims that by his mode apples
may be kept the year round, without
loosing their iuiciness Of crispness.
His theory is that the early roofing and
decay Of apples is due, to great ex-
tent, to vegetable miasma IN the air,
which communicates to it by vege-
table evaporation under certain condi.
tions. The effect of this miasma is
first seen in minute speck; some
times as many as a dozen may be
counted on the same apples. His
remedy is daily airing ofthe cellar
place where apples are stored, arrang-
inc so as to have a brisk circulation,
until all the stagnant air is expelled,
and its place occupied by pure healthy
air. His success proves that his views
are at least worthy of consideration.

Her head had been tidy head
But for tho big chignon upon it
Yet all was foiled, disfgnrcd. spoiled,
And swampcd by said chignon-and bonne
On Sunday last she went to church,
And took her book, us if to con it;
But al the time that she was there
She thought Of little save her--bonnet
The parson took q winning text,
And tried 20 iN attention on 1t;
But all in vain, for naught she cared,
Except "tbe end ofall'-the bonnet!
Yet stay there is just one thing more
must include in this sad sonnet:
She sometimes thought of women there
Who cnvicd her her mortal bonnet
The iuckIcss sermon, psalm, and prayer
All went for nothing-out upon it =
For every other woman there
Was lost in hatred oi-"hnt bonnet !"
Tfat morn her husband was non est.
His shirt neck had no button on it;
For him she had no time to SPAR,
Intent alone upon hcr-bonnet.
Now mark me well, whom it concerns,
And think ye hum inly upon it:
How could We make her such guy"

That night over a sociable bottle Of

the manner in which he found Clara,
and the light and happiness she had
brought to their home.
"And | have formed plan in refer
ence to her" concluded Mr.. Arson.
"What is to- asked Robert.
"Iou shall marry her.

"Why ?"
Thus brought to the point, Robert
confessed bis engagement to Mrs.

"IIow old is she?' asked Mr.. An
son.
"Thirty."
"And you are NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ab

but | love the widow

"Father!'
There, my boy, don't take offence.

ject for one month. At the end OF

II agree" replied Robert.
The month passed quickly, and al
its close the situation was about like
this : Robert was fenced between love
for Clara and his duty ia the widow ;
Clara was deeply in love with Robert
Mrs. Morrow was troubled by Il GER
tain falling off in her lovers ardor, and
Mr.. Anson, who had steadily refused
to see the widow, hoped for the best
for his plan. TIE father and son met
after super.
"Well, Robert, said the former,
",he month is up. What have you
decided on doing?'

of each other" began Robert.
"Certainly."
"And | shall not hide anything

"Then leave the matter entirely to
me-
"What will you do?"

widow"
"By fair means?"
"By her free consent"
And so the interview closed.
On the following day Mr.. Anson
sought the home of the widow. She
was in, and upon learning who he was
welcomed HIM cordially. She asked
him to be seated upon the sofa, upon
which she also gracefully sank. Mr.
Anson had made up his mind to be
brief and business-like; but the COR
geous widow quite upset him before
he even had broached the subject Of
his sons engagement. They came tt
speak of him naturally at last, how
ever, and the widower saw. bis oppor
