OF EMPEROR WILLIAM

There is, says Berlin letter, charm
ing little anecdote current here Just now,
about the Emperor William showing his
kindness of heart to perfection. Four
little girls of our acquaintance have been
in the habit, for some years past, of bow.
ing to the Emperor very, senthus etically
whenever they met him in their walks in
the Kindergarten, where, as is well kno wn,
the sovereign may be seen almost
every day with only one servant besides
his coachman. Last year the little girls
sorely missed their daily nod from his
Majesty, and when his birthday came
round, just after the end of his long ill.,
ness, they were most anxious to send him
their congratulations. After many con.
situations, four little boquets we're tied
together with blue ribbon, his favorite
color, accompanied by little anonymous
note penned by the scribe of the party.
in which "the four little girls in the habit
of greeting his Majesty in the park send
him their best wishes for his birthday"
ETC., and sent to the palace early in the
morning and placed in his. room. Since
that time the little sisters have been graf
flied and made happy many a time by =
gracious nod from the Emperor,
who, to their excited imagination,
seemed to look at. them so inquiringly.
And probably the sight of the four little
girls dressed exactly alike made him
think of his four little bouquets, for wheH
some weeks ago, another birthday found
him with no traces Of last years sickness,
and only the remains of a slight indispo.
sition, and four little bouquets, with an
anonymous note, again found their way
to his table, he was evidently determined
to find out the little donors. The infor.
nation he wanted was not obtained until
he was in Weisbaden; but as soon as he
did know he sent off four beautiful pho.
graphs of himself, signed by himself with
his own initials, one for each little girl,
and with them he made them supremely
happy by sending back their own note. at
the beginning and end of which he had
written some very gracious words of
thanks for their pretty thought of him.
Those children will be devoted to the En-
pcror William for the rest of their lives
The only drawback to their happiness
now is not to know which of them is
eventually to be the happy possessor of
that precious document. Of course it is
to he framed, and it will have the place of
honor in the house, but who is to- keep it
''always!" That is the knotty point!

what Tiltop Thinks Of the Jury.

In an interview in the Argus, Theo.
dore Tilton is represented as follows,
speaking Of the jury: "Those men have
not, shirked any responsibility in. this
case, said Mr.. Tilton, reaectively. s'To
me their heightened absence implies, first.
that there are two parties in, the Jury,
one for me and one against me; and, sec.
ondly, that the twelve men arc working
earnestly to reconcile their differences.

Mr.. Tilton. 1t can hardly be that the
question of damages should detain the
jury so long. If the jury were agreed
for conviction the matter of damages
could be arranged in short time. The
usual way is to get the aggregate amount,
and divide the sum total by twelve. No,

THE FARM BOY THE BEAU OF THE BALL.
At the great ball at the United States
in the evening young Ostrom led out the
belle OF Saratoga. He. the poor farm boy,
was petted everywhere, The swellest
young ladies from Madison and Fifth av-
enues manBuvred to dance with him.
Wealthy young ladies with thousand
dollar Worth dresses contended for the
honor OF a promenade with the type-set-
ter, and unsuccessful bellies would have
tossed out diamond from their forefin-
ger, that would cost young Ostr ON nine
hundred thousand ems of type-setting to
buy, just to walk around the room with
the young college printer dressed in his
thirty five dollar suit OF clothes.
In the evening, during q conversation
with Captain Ostrom, 1 asked him if he
was surprised any at the result.
Not at ALL" he replied. "I knew my
crew was composed of men accustomed
to labor. They are not gentlemen, in
the vulgar acceptation of that name
That is, our boys all know how to work.
They are strong all over-as strong in
the ankles as they are in the arms. They
can endure more than the other crews
only drilled and disciplined in arm pull
ing"
How about yourself p l asked. "I
hear you are one Of the fifty students in
Cornell who pay your college expenses
by working. Is it SOP"
.Yes, I am working my way through
college. NV parents are not able to help
me. work on tho college farm sum-
mers, and sometimes set type in the
Ithaca printing office. Ose term I was
janitor Of the college building, rang
bells, built fires, and swept out the
rooms"
And this is the hard-workins young
nobleman who wins the laurels from the
aristocratic Yaleite aad Harvardite, born
and bred in the lap Of luxury and ease.

ANOTHER MEETING AT MIDDLETowN-PRE.
PARATIoNs FOR SHIPMENTS.
At Middletown, on Saturday, anothe,
meeting of tho peach growers was held
| to discuss the marketing of the peach
crop.
IL was thought at the previous meet
ing that arrangements had been compile
ted for shipping Is to Is car loads of
peaches daily to Cleveland, Cincinnati
and intermediate places along the line
OF the Baltimore & Ohio railroad and o
cost OF S5 cents per basket to Cincinnati.
1t was discovered, however, that there
vas misunderstanding abou the time
OF running the the trains, and it was also
stated that the difficulty, no doubt,srew
| out OF the fact that the Baltimore peach
shippers were determined to prevent, if
possible, any shipments being made by
that route by the growers in Delaware
The failure of the fruit crop in the West
the present season, it is thought, will
open up such profitable market that it
| will be worth while for Delaware fruit
growers to make extra efforts to supply
that section Of the country. Therefore,
they are not willing to give up, because
OF the misunderstanding, but instructed
their committee to again see the officers
OF the b. e. o. z. r. Co., and make some
definite arrangement.
Mr.. Townsend, of the Committee
appointed to sec what arrangements
could be made with the American
Steamship Co., to ship peaches to Eu-
rope, was unable to make final report
upon the subject, but he expressed the
opinion that the speculation could be
made to pay, as the steamers were
well adapted for the trade, and could
be easily arranged with refrigerstcrs
and fans to keep the cool air circUls-
ting among the peaches. During the
meeting despatch was received from
Il. G, Cummins, of Smyrna, proposing
to attend to these shipments, and &c
with the fruit, if ten growers would
agree to furnish the fruit, The propo-
sition was laid over until the Commit,
tee made their final report.
1t was stated that the new route TO
Boston has been secured, and that
about twenty car loads a day would be
sent to that city. Arrangements have
also been made for daily trains owe,
the Reading snd Pennsylvania Rail
roads at rates favorable, if peaches
should command anything like fair
lprice, The shipments to New York
and Philadelphia will, at the height Of
the season, require over 200 cars daily,
| TIN FIRST CAR LOAD.
The first car load of peaches came
up this morning, from stations below
Dover. They were consigned to New
York. Active shipments will begin
in about week.

II. Company, in this city, a large force
is at work on peach cars. They turn

to be a great number, but as many
