Anecdo,e OF Emperor William.

Thcre is, says Berlin letter, charm

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 bowling 10 the Emperor very en-
Enthusiastically whenever they met him in
their walks in tho "Thiargartcn," whore
as is well known, the sovereign may be
seen almost every day with only one
servant besides his goodman. 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 illness, they were most anx-
ioIs TO send him their congratulations.
Alter many consultations four little
bouquets were ued together with blue
ribbon, his favolIte color, accompanied
10y little anonymous note penned by
the scribe OF the party, in which "the
four little girls in the habit of greeting
hts Majesty in the park, send him their
boSs wishes for bis birthday" etc, and
sent to the palace early in the morning
and placed in his room. Since that time

gracious nod from the Emperor, who, TO
their excited imagination, seemed TO
took at them so inquiringly. And pro-
badly the sight Of four little girls, dress
ed exactly alike, made him think of his
Tour little bouquets, for when, some
weeks ago, another birthday found him
with no traces of last years sickness,
and only the remains Of slight lndis-
position, and four little bouquets with
little anonymous note, again found their
way to his table, he was evidently de-

The information he wanted was rot OBJ
tanned until he was in Wcisbaden but
us soon rs he did know he sent OF four
beautiful photographs Of himself, signed
by himself with his own initials, one
for each little girl, and with them he
made them supremacy 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 thoughts Of him. Those children
will be devoted to the Emperor vii

What the Promised Land Flowed With.

Little children sometimes give strange

"Moses," was the prompt reply.
"And where did he lead them :"

CROSSINGS.

The Chinese we're many years in
building one of the most formida-
BILE walls known in the world. The
object sought was to prevent the in
vasion of their Empire by the Tar
tars. History does not inform us
as to its architectural beauty, but
we presume it was as handsome as
effectual. All this was suggested
by the ugly. formidable and incon-
venient barricades of stone which
the Toll Road Company, have con-
structed across our Main street.
Their object is evidently to turn
the water to one side, and prevent,
not only the accumulation of mud,
but the forming of cutters, by the
running of waters, which in the
rainy season, flows down from the
hillsides into the street. We are
not prepared to say how useful
they may be, but if their usefulness
is in any measure equaled by their
LONELINESS, the Company may con-
graduate themselves upon having
obtained the object sought, by the
ancient neutrality-suspicious. of the
property of the people.

THE BALL.

The ball given on Tuesday night
at the opening of Frett's Bonanza
Hotel was complete success, both
socially and financially. The gather
ing was never, to our knowledge, ex-
ceeded in number at any previous
event of this nature in the town.
The large dancing hall upstairs was
crowded to its utmost capacity, and
among the pleasure-seekers (and they
found it, many familiar faces, both
young and pretty and old and happy,
were to be seen enjoying the may,
crazy, and, especially after supper, the
lazy waltz, who pay their taxes in
our adjoining counties. Virginia,
Gold Hill, Dayton, and even Empire
and Carson, were fully represented,
and in the boguet of handsome and
stylish ladies present, none exceeded
in either the charming delegation
from the Brunswick and Santiago
Mills. 1t would be almost impossi-
bic to give the names of the different
ladies, or a detailed description of
their dresses; it is only necessary to
say the costumes were elegant and
costly, and from the tall, graceful
lady, reminding one as true repre-
sentation of Tennyson's
- Daughter of the Gods,
Divinely tall and most divinely fair"
To the "petite chere,' with sparkling
lips and rosy cheeks, were one and
all pictures of beauty. The arrange
ment of the culinary department was
under the immediate supervision of
Mrs. Fret, and reflects great credit
upon her taste and liberality, and the
artistic manner in which the tempt
ing viands were placed upon the
table, would have induced an appetite
in the most incurable dyspeptic,
The music was furnished by Prof.
Varney, and no man knows better
how to select and play it to the

most willingly do, in consideration
of the worthy object for which the
proposed lecture is to be given. Mr..

an instructive lecturer, and if our
town authorities will move IN this
matter and make the requisite ar
rangcmcnts, Il substantial benefit will
be the result:

AFTER THE BALL.


They sat aud combed their beautiful hair,
Their long, black tresses, one by one,
Al they laughed and talked in their chamber

After the revel was done.
Idly they talked of waltz and quadrille,
Idly they laughed, like other girls.

Comb out their braids and curls.
Robes of satin and Brussels lace,
Knots of flowers and ribbons too,

For the revel is through.
And Maude and Madge in robes of white.

s.ockingless, slipperless, sit in the night.
For the revel is one.

And the little bare feet are cold.
Then out of the gathering winter chill,
All out of the bitter St. Agnes weather.
While the fire is out in the chamber there.

Men and women with beautiful faces,
And eyes of tropical dusk;
And one face shining ont like star.
One face haunting the dreams of each,
And one voice sweeter than others are,

WEATHER..

The weather is simply grand, and
the benefit to he derived from it by
our sister townsmen in rebuilding
their city is almost incalculable. 1t
is Gods glorious smile, and this evil
dence of His love not only aninates
their hearts and gives new impetus to
their labors, but by its general
warmth imparts fresh courage to
those whose spirits were dropping
under the heavy load of misfortune.
The suns first glances fall upon
many spot Of waste and ruin, and
its last rays kiss the tops of half
finished houses erected during the
day. But for the frost in the morn
ing one could well imagine it was
the approach of the nymph-like
Spring. Then when the evening
shades are falling, the soft moon
steals over the hill, bathing all in its
mellow light, and sanctifying in its
purity the brave hearts that never
finch under any adversely.

A DOCTORS JURY.

The jury summoned by Coroner
Mayer, to investigate as to the cause
of the death of Nellie Ross, without
any lengthy deliberation, or the call

one who attended her during her
last hours, rendered verdict of
death from .snatural causes" The
jury don't pretend 10 state whether
the visit OF her attending physician
was one Of the "nataral causes" OF
death, or not, and it'nay be that a
fear OF an application of some of h is
,"natural causes" induced them to
Irender their hasty, extraordinary
and incongruous verdict. BE this

any man calling himseE first class
