berlin TELEGRAM. Nov 30 !

LP"iAih aAlit ANOf. OU,
In tAe Reichstag to-day the Alsace.
Lorraine loan bill was taken up, and
gave rise to most interesting debate.
The deputies from Alsace and Lorraine
declared they were opposed to the high
endowment Of the University of Stras.
burg, and to other educational grants
Tor the provinces, because they were
made IN the interest of the empire, and
not Of the provinces themselves. This
called out Prince Bismarck, who re-
piled as follows
"Ihe question before us concerns the
imperial interests. 1t is not question
of Alsace and Lorraine university, it
IS for imperial purposes. In we'll.
fought war, in which we defended our
existence, we conquered those provin.
ces for the empire. 1t was not for
Alsace and Lorraine our soldiers shed
their blood. We take our stand upon
imperial interest, for which, and no
for the sake Of their own ecclesiastical
interests, we annexed those provinces.
We have other grounds for action than
those people whose past leads to
Paris, and whose present leads to Rome.
My own views respecting the creation
Of an Asace and Lorraine parlia.
ment, which at first were san.
guine, have been modified since |
became acquainted with the
attitude of the deputies from those
provinces. Such parliament would
lead to continual agitation, and per.
haps might endanger the Leace OF
the empire. We shall doaotless be
obliged to take still more vigorous
Steps in regard to school matters there
We cannot permit the existence of ele.
mcnts which strive to hinder education
My action is guided by imperial inter
ests. shall not be frightened from
my course by reproaches, threats OF
persuasion. Before advance is possible
we must be convinced Of the existence
Of trustworthy elements. We may ex.
pect better discernment in the rising
generation, and must, therefore, see
that good schools are provided for Al.
SAGE and Lorraine
AT the conclusion of the debate the
loan bill was referred TO a committee.

The political parties have been buSily
preparing for the opening Of the Assem-.

deputies of the Extreme Right have re-
solved 10 vote against the
constitutional bills. Count de
Chambord has written q
letter to his supporters in the Assem-.

Right, who intended to vote for the
constitutional bills, and may shake
their purpose. The passage of the con-
stituent measure depends on the atti-

to Des Moines note shaver, handed
him note duly stoned by good
man, and asked him if he would buy
It. The note had two years to run.
The man of money glanced at the sigma
ture and notified the customer that he
would purchase the document if they
could agree upon terms, "Well, what
will you give for it said the seller.
The broker took his pencil and figured.
When he had completed the example
he scratched his head and muttcrod,
mo, that can't be correct, and figured
again. Again the result didn't suit him
and again he stirred up the capillary
substance with his fore finger, and
again he 'ciphered." Tie third result
appeared to satisfy him and looking up
at the customer he remarked: "At
first thought was mistaken, but the
second and third trials verify the find
ing of the first. According to our
rules for shaving paper, you owe me
just fifteen dollars, but as its you, I'll
take the paper and call it square"
The seller studied awhile and concluded
not to do it.-I0lcd Stat Register.

An unfortunate girl named Fullerton
died in this city Saturday night from
the effects of an abortion. She came
here nearly three years ago from near
Fort Ridgley where her father lives.
She followed the occupation of seam
stress, and was also employed part of
the time in sewing machine agencies. In
an unguarded hour she listened to the
voice Of the temptcr in the person of a
young man named Allen, who had been
employed as clerk in one OF the doc.

tanning the condition Of the young wo.
man, he fed like a coward, and she was
left to meet her fate alone. About the

caught cold, and then her trouble PROV

How James Lick, of California.
Made His Great Fortune,
From the New York Tribune

James Lick is a native Of Fredericks.
burg, Pa, who learned the trade of
pianO-making in Philadelphia, in the
early years of this century. Having a
taste for adventure, which was with him
not incompatible with great industry
and thrift, he went to South America.
where he passed several years engaged
IN any business which offered, some.
times making pianos, sometimes deal
ing in furs. but always getting ahead.
When the Mexican war threw Califor-
mia into our hands, and the rumored
discoveries of gold excited such inter.
est among Americans on the Pacific
Coast, Dir. Lick resolved to seek his
fortune in III Dorado. His business in
Peru was relentlessly sacrificed, and he
started for San Francisco Bay with
$4,000 in cash, the ayails of
property worth twice that sum.
There were very few Of the
early emigrants who had any such sum
of money, and still fewer who bad such

the most eligible positions in the future

was only a struggling village there, and
the prices which MIR. Lick paid were
usually above the market of the time.
lie wanted only .hoice lots and secure
