Not Gallant.

A painful feature of Continental life
is the lack of gallantry on the part of
gentlemen toward ladies-outside the
drawing room, of course. In Germany
no gentleman would think of turning
out for lady whom he met on the side
walk. She might be crowded into the
gutter for all he would care, unless he
happened to be acquainted with her,
when his politeness would be profuse
enough. The story is told of an Eng
lish girl in Berlin, who at last rebelled
against the indignity of being compelled
to make way for every man she met.
She determined that she would yield no
longer. She had scarcely began her
first promenade after announcing her
resolution, when she found herself op-
posite an astonished gentleman, who
had suddenly stopped for fear of run
ming over her. He evidently expected
her to turn out for him but she held
her place. At last, with bewildered
look from his great blue eyes, he spoke

BY MARY REED CROMWELL.
Harvey Mortimer stood in Miss Day
toms reception-room-a small, magnifi-
cent apartment, furnished with due re-
gard for Julie Dayton's flashing bru-
nette beauty, in yellow satin and ebony.
He had been admitted two minutes be-
fore, and had given his card to the foot
man, and was just little piqued that
his betrothed kept him waiting SO long.
He had toyed with the musical album
on the mosaic inlaid table under the
chandelier, and had examined the deli
cate ferns that grew in their rustic vases,
and even had whist]ed to the canary in
it's gilt cage that hung over the aquari-
um-and yet Julie did not come.
Never before had she been so derelict.
Before this evening, he had never wait
ed three minutes for her to come rust

his life, and then say Fate had wrought
the desolation.
He just went right on, in his accus-

from the cloud Julie had cast over it,

record to his pure, noble ife-until
three times he had seen the winter
SHOWS, and summer grasses cover the
double grave of jules heart broken
parents-.he could say, calmly, truth
fully, still seriously, that human love
was never more to him.
! He was content-fve years ministry
of sorrow, five years discipline had not
been for naught and despite his lone
Illness, he felt he was not a cipher in

The Kind Of House the Late Great Fire IL

The Pantechnicon was built with view to
security against fire, and not only has It
perished but it exposed the district IN which 1t
stood TO the danger of general conhagration
1t had retained, among many limitations, It's
original reputation of being 1.-THE largest, the

metropolis" 1t became the receptacle, during
some months of the year, of the most valuable
part of the contents of many OF the houses oil
the nobility and others, whose residents IN town
depends on the Parliamentary session, Thus on
Friday in last week the building was completely
filled with property of all kinds, OF value
which only the owners themselves could esti-
mate. The area of the building was not much
less than two AGREE. 1t was built in 1880 and
when finished was said to be the most complete
thing of the kind ever constructed. BY means
of peculiarly formed and solid iron pillars, a
complete iron support was produced from the
ground throuh the intervening floors to the
roof The whole of the ceiling were lathed with
iron rods and covered with composition which,
as was hoped would resist the tereest ire, and
thrown upon it while hot. The boarded floors
were covered with iron plates laid upon patent
felt, to preserve the under side OF tho iron from
rust and to deaden the sound. the rooms were
separated from each other by brick walls and
wrought iron doors, and tho stairs were all o.
stone. All the chimney hues we're lined with
cast iron, and there was not piece OF wood eX'
posed in any part of the building. Many nun

These particulars have been extracted by the

shaken, and it has properly persisted IN the run

CONSIDERATION AMONG THE INHAB-
ITANTS.
Smoke From Bald Mountain TO be Seen
Miles Away.
specin, Dispatch to Knoxville Chronicle.
GREENEvILLE, TENN,

OREENENlILE, IENN.t
March Ito p. m.
can not get very definite reports as to
the volcanic eruption of Bald Mountain.
There are number of wild reports. A
gentleman from North Carolina to-day
said that an explosion took place about a
week ago that could have been heard for
twenty miles. The rumbling and tumb-
ling of the mountain is talked of contin-
ually, and has created considerable fever
and CONSERVATION in that section of the
country. So far as can he learn
ed no one has ventured up the
mountain, or even near enough to it to
learn the real facts.
1t is hard to tell what to depend on as
to these reports, as they are somewhat con-
Trajectory. One report says the smoke can
be seen for several miles, as it rises from
the top of the mountain.
At first these reports were considered
groundless, but there are so many of then
which seem to be of the same tenor tina
there can be but little doubt as to the exist
ence of a something unusual in the localit!
mentioned,

Catholicism In Prussia,

Ten of the Catholic Bishops of Prussia have
signed Joint document, intended to bea fresh
protest against the Ecclesiastical laws and also
against the allegation that they are disloyal or
rebel subjects of the State. They declare their
love for their country, loyalty to the crown, and
their readiness to obey established authority ;out
inasmuch as God has commanded them
neither to do nor approve nor pass over
in silence anything which is contrary To- the
eternal law of God, the doctrine Of Jesus
Christ and the teachings OF His Church.
they cannot and will not contrihutc 10 the execu-
ton of the confessional law. They recall 20 the
recollection Of the faithful the fact that over and
above the stringent acts ia force Others stlll
more severe have been presented TO the RUSSIAN
Chambers and that these laws might have
the effect of condscating the property OF the
Church, and suppressing the whole oecleslastl-
cal Observation-Disclosures humiliation, IN WORD,
of everything that constitutes the Catholic
Church in Prussia. They foresee that the time
may be Mt hand when the whole Catholic clergy
| from the Prelate to the village cure, may be
prosecuted. condemned, imprisoned, or expelled

recommend their flock TO remain faithful t.
their legitimate Pastors, and accept no subsu
tutes or appoststes in their places. The sigma

THE EXCITING STORY CONFIRMED.
Volcanic Eruption Momentariiy Expected

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH.
RALEIGH, n. c., March 17.-Passcngers
from the West on this mornings train
confirm the reports of the rumbling noise
and general upheaval of Bald Mountain,
in Western North Carolina. People liv-
ing on and near the mountain are moving
out, and a volcanic eruption is momentari-
ly expected.
AS stated elsewhere, the agent of the AS
ISOLATED Press in New York telegraphed
here for the news. Mr.. Duncan sent him
the following:
We have no positive information of the
volcanic disturbances reported from Rail
eigh. 1t is reported from Asheville as be-
ing between that place and Old Fort and
not in Bald mountain. The rumbling
sound has been heard and felt frequently
during the last two on three weeks fol
some distance in that vicinity.
