BisMlsiCK AT H6ME.

The DeutScAe Nacbrichteii contains tie
following notice:
"SOme days ago the hayeSt-home was
celebrated at Prince Bismarck's estate,
VarEin, and, as Is customary there, grand
feast and afterwards bali were giyen hy

and female. A large and rOOmy carriage
shed had been decorated and fitted ND for
the occasion, and raised platform for the
musicians Of course was not wantiug
Shortly after the band had begun to play,
and the different couples went whlrling
around the saloon, the Prince appeared
with his wife and family, and, as is CUSTOM
ary in those parts, did not hesitate To share
in the pleasures of their humble depend
entS. The princess Condeseended TO al
low the hind to dance with her Oncp, and
then played the part Of quiet spectator.
The Prince, on the contrary, who had been
accustomed TO dance with the fine ladies
of the Court, did not shrink from dancing
with all the girls on his estate. but he
had TO give his first partner lesson in
the mystic art. As tile Chancellor began
10 dance with her who was the oldest
among her colleagues, she set to work with
such a will and in such 4 rough and ready

the Prince, who had undergone the hard
ships of warfare more than once, was soon
out of breath, and was therefore obliged to
check the impetuOsity Of his partner. The
Young Countess Bismarck joined in the
merry dance as heartily as anybody, and
set good example to the maids in this re-
spect. The noble entertainers remained
with their humble guests until late in the
evening. Refreshments were provided in
abundance, and, as such vigorous exercise
increases the appetite, full justice was done
to them. On the I'd Of September, the an
niversary Of Sedan, all Prince Bismarck's
people, both high and low. were assembled
within tho walls Of Varzin, and spent the
universal holiday in ealing and drinking,
and merrin4ents of all kinds, at the expense
of their entertainer and master"

Has the UNION AND AMERICAN got
backbone enough to come ont and tell
the people who, of all the aspirants for
United States Senator, it prefers? A
paper professedly central organ of
the Democratic party ought tolead, in
stead of follow or occupy an uncertain
position.-SheI6yUilIe Commercial.
There are two reasons why We can
not take the "lead'' thus kindly offered.
First, as an impartial Democratic Jour-
nal at the State capital, we have no
preference whatever until the Will of
the people and party be manifested in
some unmistakable way, which is sell
dom or never the case with such an
Office. ---.-....
Secondly in the name of harmony
and peace, we have no heart for adding
fuel to the flames that have been lighted
this week. We think the Senatorial
struggle is bitter enough already. We
earnestly deprecate the tone it has
assumed, satisfied that the people at
large can gain nothing from this clash
of personal ambitions, while many im-
portant public interests may be lost to
view In the melee.

THE war of 1870 cost France f371, 900,
600, to which ELS, ,000, 900 may be added
as the value Of the ceGed territory. OF
course the cost to the North German Con-
federation was much less, as their troops
operated in the eneny's country and
the commissariat was much better man
aged than with the French. The cost to
Germany has been officially stated as f47,-
100000. but when peace was concluded the
treasury was empty, and had il not been
for the French indemnity new loan would
have been necessary. The E6.OO0,0O0 of
the German war chest and the f5S,000, 900
Of the war loan must, therefore, have been
exhausted. Compared with other modern
wars, the cost of the Franco-German war,
on the whole, was moderate, inasmuch as
private compensation is included-seven
millions on the German aud twenty-four
millions on the French side.

MOTHER AND SON.

There is no more beautiful thing in
social intercourse than the courtesy of
son whose demeanoF to his mother
shows that he holds her to be as fully
entitled to the little kindnesses of life
as any: othef woman. Reciprocal acts of
attention between young people are
sort of genteel comedy but the polite
attention of SON to his mother comes
within the title to reward under 'the
first commandment with promise" 1t
is more than beautiful-it is useful.
The father may have reached the age
when the courtesies of life and the de-
mands of society are something of a
burden. But the woman never grows
too old to appreciate the attention aud
the mother values more highly than
the courtesy of any other the attentions
of her son. Her husbands attention
she, of course, expects; but sometimes
he may need her attentions. But here
is fine, manly, strong young fellow
all her own-whom she has watched
fr0Rl his long froeks all the way up to
the adult coat of the latest fashion. He
is abundantly able to defend her
against all Corners, to give her eonfi-
dence in his protection. and sure
step in her promenade. Heis hers by
a claim that no human being can dis
pute. The young man wo appreciates
this relation, and who recognizes his
mothers friends as his friends, who
pays to them as ladies superior atten-
lion because of the age, is passing
through s'finishing school" which
cannot fail to make a gentleman of
him.

THE JUST MEASURE OF A MAN.


Society is full of failures that need
never have been made; full of men
who have never succeeded when they
might have and should have succeed
ed full of women who, in the first
of their days did nothing but eat and
sleep and simper, and in the last half
have done nothing but perpetuate
their fellies and weaknesses. The
world is full, we say, of such people.
full of men in every trade and profess
sion who do not amount to any,
thing. and of girls and women with
out any trade or profession who have
no desire to amount to anything and
do not speak irreverentIy, and we
trust not without due charity without
making due allowance to the ineYita-
bic in life, when we say that God and
thoughtful men are weary of their
presence, Every body ought to i'm
prove on his father: every girl grew
into nobler, gentler, more self-deny-
ing womanho0d than the mother. No
reproduction of former type will give
the world the perfect type. We know
not where the millennium is, as meas
ured by distance of time, but we do
know, and SO do you all, that it is
great way off as measured by human
growth and expansion. We have no
such men and women yet-no age has
had any-as shall stand on earth in
that age of peace that will not come
until men are worthy of it.

cENrEEs or THE UNIVERSE.

The faculty that some people have of
making themselves, to all intents and
purposes, the center of the universe is
thing which covet every day of nay
life. OF course a great many people
believe that they are these centers, or
that center-but it is the select few
who really compel every one else to
believe it, whom | envy. 1t must be
a glorious conciousness. Such sense
of largeness such Popish pride, with
out the slightest tinge of any of the
Pope's personal humility. To think
of bringing the whole realm of itera-
ture. art, religion to the test of ones
self. To think of going to hear new
oratorio. not for the mere vulgar pur-
pose of enjoying it; but in order to
"see how you will like it."
To be sure, passing from one such
center to another among your friends
is apt to create an element ofcenfusion,
something like that supposed by War
ner to be produced in the minds of
those who dwell by certain river in
the provinces, which first runs one
way and then another, and then van
ishes ltogether.-'sIHe Old Cdbingt;;n

A BIT OF ADVICE TO CORRESPOND
FeNTS

There are few things which we
would like to impress upon the minds
of those whose fortune, or misfortune,
neeessitates their sending correspond
ence TO newspaper. Here they are +:
Write plainly. Not to do so it is to
make an item almost worthless, and
sometimes worse than useless.
If YOU write a "back" hand, learn to
do it with the left hand, that the COM
positor may not haye to stretch his
neck to the left to a dangerous extent
to get the run of a word.
Don't underline every adjective in
the sentence, after the style of law
yer's brief
If you have ever studied punctua-
ton at all, punctuate but if you have
not let it slide.
If you You have occasion TO make
capital j, write 1t below, and not on
the line.
If John Smith or William McFad-
den has purchased a piece of property
of Hezekiah Hobbletop, for 81 900, say
so if you desire to see the notice in
print. There is no occasion TO say:
t:Our highly respected and honorable
citizen, John Smith, who for the last
fen years has been selling milk at ten
cents quart, thereby realizing mum
ificent profit, has purchased from his
neighbor, Mr.. Hezekiah Hobbletop, a

vender of garden sass and sich. that
beautifully located piece of property
known as Fools Folly Plot and in
that most salubrious location intends
erecting house thereon" Self-praise
is no recommendation, neither does it
pay the printer, but it doth disgust
him.
Dot your is, cross your rs, point
your us, and make them distinct from
the rounded n.
Use ink. Lead pencil writing over

when deciphering it, and also causes
him to indulge in fcuss words
Crowd as many facts into as few

Be sure TO spell names correctly. A

FATHER DEAD.

We laid our father under the snow.
IN the shady nook where the hemlocks groy
We laid him away with prayers and tears,
To slumber on through the coming years
AS evening lowered the snow flakes fell,
And covered the new made grave so well
That at morn we said: The place is white
Where we laid our father yester-night.''
His grave is like a beautiful bed,
With pure white covers overspread;
And the hands that laid him down TO rest
Were the hands of those that loved him best
The sun shines just as high to-day
As though he had never passed away;
1t does not seem to lessen its glow,
Because dear father is under the snow.
The little snow birds fly about.
Out and in, and in and OUT
The waving branches overhead,
How can they knnw that father is dead
By and by, in the joyous Spring.
Over his grave the birds will sing;
And the little robins build their nests
Just where father is laid to rest.
1t may be aorong to moan and fret.
For him we never can forget;
And surely he would not have it so
Who is lying under the beautiful snow.
