Like the English House of Commons.
the Reichstag is the more popular

NV stay in Berlin is almost at an end
-Four months and half have gone too
quickly. If one is eager for knowledge,
he sometimes feels that he would like
to move back the hands upon the dial

that he now has, and yet have the

what would like to do with the sources

Having spent my time mostly in study

sive knowledge to German life and
customs, but some feature are patent to
every one. Life here seems less eXcit-
ed than with us. Many man in our
country expects to be President or Sen
ator, ors some other high official, but here
the empire and high political positions
are left to the few whom birth or special
circumstances have given them. That
restlessness and expectancy after
change seems not to exist SO largely
here where all things are likely to con
tinue IA they were. Two organizations
stand out in marked prOminence-the
military and the educational systems.
The spirit of caste pervades the mill

Paul 5 companions in trial" The form
OF the theatre is well preserved, ,-hol-
lowed out IN semi circle on the side of
Mt. Prion. The marble seats which
rose one above another in the form of
steps have mostly disappeared, though
the places where they were can be dis
tinctiy traced on the side of the noun
tain. The diameter of the upper tier of
steps is computed to he 660 feet, and it
is estimated that the theatre would seat
more than $4,000 people.
No doubt the riotous scene which is
recorded in the 10Th chapter of Acts
seemed of little account to the men of
that day, when compared with the
grand exhibitions of oratOry, music aud
the dramatic art which the theatre had
so often witnessed, but they have long
since been forgotten and the traveller
of to-day thinks only of the scene wit
messed by Paul and his companions.
SO il was with lis, as we sat on the
fragments of broken marble within the
theatre and read the account as given

make 1t more impressive, | climbed up
to one of the top seats and shouted

walls of the theatre seemed already ring

The temple of 1.-The great goddess
Diana. whom all Asia and the world
worshipped," was one of the Seven
Wonders of the world. 1t WAS burnt
seven times. each time being restored
with more magniticence than before.
1t WAS the last which was in existence
at the time when Demetrus and his
fellow craftsmen stirred up the men OF
Ephesus against Paul and his com
panions.
How well he read the signs of the
times. Demetrius himself doubtless did
not know. when he said. Not only i,
this our craft in danger to be- set at
naught. but also that the temple of the
great goddess Diana should he despised,
and her magnificencc should bc de

wooden ''image which fell down from

GREAT LOSS OF PROPERTY, But NO LOSS
OF LIFE.
The disaster which the city of Wor-
ccStcr. Mass, had been serenelv con-
tcnIplating for several Years and 80
anXiou>ly fearing for about twenty four
houIs, occurred soon after six O'Clock,
Thursday night, when the pcmt-up
waters of the Lynde brook reservoir
tore madly down the Cherry valley
Iavine, spreading terror and destruction
III their path. OF course, with such
ample warning, there WAS no loss of
life, but the damage to property is Sc
rious enough greater, indeed than had
been generally anticipated. Ii was
half-paSt five Thursday afternoon when
a stream not larger than Il mans finger
WAS seen buhhling through the earth
work of the dam back of the waste gate.
house. Ii WAS the portcnt of disaster,
aud au alarm was given. The men whu
had been at work in ii vain ATTEMPT to
prevent the flood, fled to the hill: their
teams were driven to places of safety,
and messengers were sent in hot haste
down the valley to warn the people
that the dreaded disaster was upon
them. Meantime the stream at the
break bad rapidly grown, being, within
tw" minutes of the first discovery, as
large as Il barrel. Foot after foot of
the solid embankmcmt, now thoroughly
h"neycombed 10y the action of the wa
ter, began to cave in. Then sections,
varying in width from two to five feet,
irgan to drop, until the embankment
WAS gone, way back to the face of the
dam. The cement spiling wall held for
ii moment after the earth had been
washed away. Then hole appeared
in the centre of the wall. Gradually
its size increased until with one grand
crash the spiling wall crumbled, letting

HIS RED FACE AND HOW HE CAME BY 1T.
Perhaps you would like to know
something of Zach. Chandler Iou and
have heard and read il great deal about
him, and its time we knew something
of him. He is great big man, over
six feet eight. and about sixty years old.
He and Horace Greeley were bonn
within Il cat-call of each other, and still
no single man did as much as Zach
Chandler to defeat the philosopher for
the presidency. He has il numbering,
heavy walk, of certain stride, and steady
gait. He carries an alternate white
and red face in frontal cane i'll one hand,
and bundle OF paper III the other. He
never walks for pleasure, he always
walks on business. He spits every
eight minutes always to the left. sell
dom straight, aud with the same regu-
larity that punctuatcs his every action.
High in front. like the iigure-head on Il
ship. he carries his great, broad head
and variegated face. On il cold day
his counteuance beams almost like the
red glare of Il locomotive headlight.
Ninety y-niue men who pass him gu il
frosty morning make ninety-nine re-
marks freighted with the Information
that "Old Zach has had his bitterS." >"
But, oh. Lord, how this world is given

this crooked splitting has a reason, and
