A Whimsical King.

King Louis of Bavaria is in treaty, it
is said, with the royal family of Prussia
for the hand of the daughter of Prince
Frederick Carl, grand niece. of the
German emperor. Speed his woooing,
say we. A little Caudle talk in the
(otherwise) quiet of the midnight will
be beneficial to the whimsical DO
tentate. His princely follies have for
years furnished food for European
laughter. One of his mad freaks is
we'll remembered. Enamored of Wag-
ner's music, as we all know, he con
ceived the startling idea of constructing
a lake on the roof of the royal palace
where-to, like Lohengrin, he might
sail in boat drawn by swans. The
royal architect gave it as his opinion
that the thing couldn't be done, but
out came the potential must of the
Prince and it was done. The work was
not to the satisfaction of the cratic
ruler; the color of the water was not
pleasant as he would have it-not sufi-
GENTLY blue. It was removed to give
an opportunity of painting the sides
and bottom of the tank so that an azure
hue might be reflected, but the plan
was failure. Then into the bosom of
the lake was poured an infusion Of
indigo, which had the effect of not only
rendering water deeply, darkly, beau
tifully blue, but of also dying the swans
in the same color. Dissatisfied with
this result, he abandoned altogether
these colored notions, accepting the
water as Americans accept the darkey,
without regard to color Or previous
condition. Marriage to man so mind
ed WILDE blessing, for i'll ministering
unto all the petty whims of his mistress
he will have no time to crafty his
own. 81. -rt e- I-s eE IE7H

The DEVILS Workshop.

Impatience of monotony is a weak
ness, to which must be attributed the
troubles of two individuals who, &C.
cording to a German paper, lately
travelled in the same train on one of
the principal lines to Berlin. One of
these, tailor, found, on taking his
place in fourth-class carriage, that it
was too crowded to admit even of his
sitting on his own bundle. Being tired
and sleepy, he contrived, by skillful
man@uvring, to get close to the par
tition which divided the carriage into
two compartments, and lean his weary
back against the friendly support.
Here he slumbered uneasily for some
time; at length, to the great astonish-
ment of the other inmates of the COM
partment, he bounded into their midst.
exclaiming. 81 am stabbedW As the
party had all been as quiet and as
orderly as possible, this seemed incred-

upon the platform by his fellow-passen-
gers who, to their CONSERVATION, dis
covered that he was indeed bleeding
profusely from a small round wound in
the back. Meantime, hole of similar
size and and shape was found by the
railway servants in the partition against
which he had leaned, while from the

other intention than thatof beguilingthe

of his craft.

There stood an altar in g lonely wood,
And over it was g. yelled deity; - q
And no man dared to raise the yelling hood
Nor any knew what god they then should see.
Yet many passed to gaze upon the thing,
And all who passed did sacrifice and prayer,
Lest, the unknown not rightly honoring,
Some great god they should anger unaware.
And each one thought this hidden god was he
Whom he desired in his most secret heart,
And prayed for that he longed for most to be,
r Gifts there was no fixed godhead to impart
Nor prayed in vain, for prayers scarce breathed

inducements that they can, in the shape
OF convenient shipping yards and low
rates; for while the different roads
fell to cutting rates, much to the adj
vantage of the shipper, but not long
since joint tariff was agreed upon,
which think is well adhered to. It
includes all the railways in Kansas, and
fixes the rate of transportation per car
load to the different marts. A large
proportion of the cattle from Texas are
driven westward in the territories.
There they fatten for the market, and
provide beef for the growing cities and
towns, mining regions, and military
posts. It is thought that the entire
drive from Texas this year into Kansas
will number over 100000 head. Per-
haps one-fourth of these go into Colo
RADIO and Wyoming and westward to
Utah, while most of the balance seek
the eastern market. At this season of
the year one will be struck with the ap-
pearance of the numerous fne-looking
herds grazing along the Arkansas Valley
from Wichita as far west as Sargent,
and thence scattered at intervals to the
foot of the mountains. AS sample of the
size of these herds, I might mention
that list of forty three herds in the
vicinity showed total of 59,9OS head
of cattle. While it is claimed that the
drive to Wichita this year will not ex-
coed 100000 head, not much over one
half what it was last year, some of the
other towns on the line of the railroad
having been found more accessible for
stock it is apparently much better than
that Of former seasons. The further
the focks get westward the greater
their tendency to increase in size. In
the vicinity OF Hugo, on the Kansas
Pacific, about 100 miles beyond the
eastern borders of Kansas, some of the
old plainsmen have formed stock
company and control from 10000 to
10000 head. There are huge herds
also near Ellsworth and Bunker Hill.
Down on the Arkansas, near Fort Lynn,
the children of Kit Carson and one or
two of his old comrades own herds of
from 5000 to 5000 head. On the
Laramie Plains, northward, Creighton
& Go. have herd of $1,000 cat
tie, J. W. Tiff, $4,000; E. Creighton,
5000; Taylor, Gaylord & Co., 5000
There are over twenty herds
numbering from 1000 to 5000 each.
In the parks of Colorado extensive
focks will also be found. Throughout
the middle and southeastern portion of
Kansas large amount of stock is now
being driven eastward, the cattle being
allowed to Craze along the way. The
drovers will soon be hurrying forward
their herds, however, for feed is short,
and it will cost too much to winter
stock in Kansas, owing to the short
corn crop. Where last winter there
were thousands of cattle scattered
throughout Kansas, and the winter
before still greater numbers, to fatten
on the surplus grain, this year there
will be very few. The full corn cribs
of Missouri and Illinois tempt the
drover that way, and in the spring he
will be nearer the markets. There are
various estimates of the number that
have been wintered in Kansas in for,
mer seasons, but the range is from
100000 to 5000. 49,. ..se-4-rr.r

The Ruling Passion of Charles James
Fox.

Before he was fourteen his father
took him to the continent to show him
life. At Paris and Baden they of course
visited the gambling houses, and the
boy, scarcely entered upon his teens,
alarmed even his father by the eager
ness with which he entered into the
play. At this early age he commenced
the habit which became almost the
ruling passion of his life which in
spite of the large estates left him by
his father, and the great emoluments
of his various Offices, made him a poor
man. haunted by bailiffs, and pestered
by duns. The sums which he lost were
enormous. At one time he is said to
have played for two and twenty sue
cessive hours, losing five hundred
pounds an hour. At another time, after
he had lost fearfully, a friend called
upon him to offer his coincidence. He
found Fox quietly reading "Herodo-
tus," and upon expressing some sur
prise at his philosophy, was asked,
" What would you have me do, when I
have just lost my last shiling?" At one
time he found himself the winner of
eight thousand pounds. One of his
creditors, hearing of his good luck,
presented his note, and asked for pay
ment. "Quite impossible" said Fox, 81
must pay my debts of honor" g % Well,
then," said the creditor, throwing the
note into the fire, ''now mine is debt
Of honor y and as such it was paid.
This anecdote is somewhat differently
related by Rogers. According to him,
it, was Fox himself, who, pressed by
creditor, asked for the note, tore it in
pieces, and thus satisfied his conscience
by paying the amount, which had thus
become a debt of honor. It is related,
however, that Fox would never touch
a card when he was in Office, and when
late in life his political friends paid his
debts, he left off playing entirely.-1he
