German Politics.

The Kozaaische Zeita@ag publishes
some interesting statistics of the recent
elections to the German Parliament.
Including the fifteen districts of Alsace-
Lorraine, the German empire is divided
into 1877 electoral districts, each con-
tanning On an average 1O3, 300 inhabit-
ants and mean Of q, 470 voters, or
20.8 per cent. on the population. The
qualified voters of the empire num-
bered 1923, 446 persons, out of total
population. foreigners included, &C
cording to the census of 1874, of A.
O58, 1872. In the light of these figures
it will be apparent that the aggregate
vote of 8,427,0 cast in November,
1876, at the Presidential election in this
country, bears no extravagant proper
ton to our estimated population of
1887, 400. The votes actually cast at
the recent elections in Germany, the
Zeitasaag tells us, were divided among
the different political parties now exist

One thing only is clear from this emu
meration, that the public opinion of
Germany is in state of extreme fer
mentation and that any relaxation of
the strict grasp now kept by the mill
tary Government on the administration
of the empire will be pretty certainly
followed by tempestuous times. The
Social Democrats In particular, Though
not among the strongest in numbers of
the existing party organizations, are
well known to be more united and more
persistent in their political views and
intentions than any other single German
party of the present moment, and it is
not surprising that so shrewd and far
sighted statesman as Prince Bismarck
should look upon them as the "black
point on the national horizon.-NeaO

When we Realize Ourselves.

AS the trials of life thicken and the
dreams of other days fade, one by one in
the deep vista of disappointed hope, the
heart grows weary of the struggles, and
we begin to realize our insignificance.
Those who have climbed to the pinnacle
of fame, or revel in luxury and wealth, go
to the grave at last with the poor mendi-
can't who begs pennies ty the wayside,
and like him, are soon forgotten. Gene
rations after generations, says an eloquent
modern writer, have felt as we feel, and
their fellows were as active in life as ours
are now. They passed away as vapor,
while nature wore the same aspect Of
beauty as her creator commanded her to
be. And so, likewise, shall it be when
we are gone. The heavens will be as
bright over our graves as they are now
around our path; the world will have the
same attraction for ofsprings yet unborn
that she had once for ourselves, and that
she has now for our children. Yet a
little while, and all this will have hap
pened. Days will continue to move on,
and laughter and song will be heard in
every chamber in which we died; and the
eve that mourned for us will be dried,
and will glisten with Joy, and even our
children will cease to think of US, ane
will not remember to lisp our names.-
Goodrich.

Features of the Silk Trade.

The fifth annual report Of the silk
growers association announces that
], ,284. $50 pounds of silk have been
manufactured in this country during
the year ending December 81. The
value of this product is S26, 593, lob.
The chief feature of the silk trade
during the last year has been the extra.
ordinary fuctuation in valae. In 1875,
raw silk was selling at the lowest figures
that ruled eighteen years before.
France and Germany were using lar less
than usual economy in dress had
become prevalent in this country, and
the importation of raw silk from China
and Japan was steadily increasing. But
an unusually cold spring in France ard
Italy caused a great mortality IN silk
worms. The Asiatic crop declined ten
or fifteen per cent. A great rise follow
ed in July of fully 100 per cent. The
effect Of these sudden changes in price
upon our manufacturers has been IN.
furious. The "under-valua' ion frauds,
have also been one Of the prominent
incidents connected with the silk trade
during the past year. Nearly all the
American houses formerly engaged IN
importing silk have withdrawn from the
business. The business has gone into
the hands of foreign manufacturers who
virtually consign their goods to COM
mission houses here. ,

4 Terrible Midnight Scene.

At about half-past twelve o'clock at
night, as Mr.. Casper Kuhn was ap-
preaching the store of Miss Mary Kuhn,
his sister, on North Summer street, near
Monroe, Nashville, Tenn, he noticed
that the gas lamps on each side of the
building had been turned down. This
aroused his suspicious. He had no
sooner entered the yard than he saw o
man trying to bore through one of the
shutters. Mr.. Kuhn at once opened fire,
and the burglar dashed out of the gate
and along North Summer street. The
pistol shot had been heard by policemen
Broderick and Tindall, who were near
the corner of Monroe and North Sum-
mer streets. AS the burglar came dash
ing along Officer Broderick ordered b m
to halt, and the command not being
obeyed, followed it with shot. The
man was then about ten yards off, and
as he came up was collared by the two
policemen.
The officers had hardly lightened their
grip upon the prisoner before, as if by
magic, they were surrounded by thirty
or forty excited men. How they got
there so quickly, the policemen say is a
puzzle to them. One of them, who had
a handkerchief tied over the upper part
of his face, said fiercely: "Jhis man is
our meat" "No," put in Brodelick, "
che is ours you must not interfere
with officers of the law" "Give him to
MS, or you are dead man." demanded
the unknown, and as he spoke his pistol
was poked into Broderick's face. The
officers saw that resistance was useless !;
they were overpowered.
In half the time it takes to write this,
rops was thrown over the burglars
head, and he was dragged off along
North Summer, then down Madison
street to the river. A gentleman fol-
lowed the lynchers, but was warned off
when,he reached the bluff. He distinct
ly heard loud shrek, splash, and
then all was quiet. The burglar had
met his fate in the Cumberland.

TOrturing Turtles.

The tortoise shell of commerce is
merely the scales that cover the bony
shields of the turtle. These scales are
thirteen in number, varying from an
eighth to quarter Of an inch in thick
ness. A large turtle will furnish about
eight pounds.
"To detach this shell from living
turtle" says one who has seen the ope-
ration, els cruel process, which made
my blood creep to witness. The fishers
do not kill the turtles. Did they do SO
they would in few years exterminate
them. When the turtle is caught, they
fasten him, and cover his back with dry
leaves, or grass, to which they set fire.
The heat causes the plates to separate at
their joints.
GA large knife is then carefully in
serted horizontally beneath them, and the
lamine lifted from the back, care being
taken not to injure the shell by too much
heat, nor to force it off until the heat
has prepared it for separation. Many
turtles die under this cruel operation,
but instances are numerous in which
they have been caught second time
with the outer coating reproduced but
in such cases instead Of thirteen pieces
it is single piece. I could never bring
myself to witness this cruelty more than
once, and was glad the process of scaling
was carried on out of sight of the hut.
Had the poor turtles the power OF shrek
ing, they would have made the barren
island ring with their cries OF torture.

Charity.

Surrounded by affluence, how apt are
we to disregard the beseeching poverty
of our neighbor. Arrayed in our costly
raiment, how apt are we to revolt at the
sight of the patched and scanty covering
of another's body! Graciously smiled
upon by fortune, how apt are we to iibe
at the unsuccessful struggle of less
favored companion Warmly nestled in
our beds under richly-wrought tapestry,
how apt are we to forget that fellow
being may be at the same time striving
to obtain life-giving warmth from the
hard-frozen ground under the cold blue
cnopy of the heavens! Mankind was ere
atei equal, and aithough circumstances,
harsh and bitter, may deal severely with
one member of the family, that one is
aS much the creature of Col, and as i'm
portant and noble in His sight, as the
one whom the world has endowed more
abundantly with its possessions. There
fore let us exercise charity toward the
poor of Gods creatures, remembering
that they are also possessed Of immortal
souls, and what we render unto them
here will be most gloriously compensa-
ted for when lie shall make up his
Jewels hereafter.

wCouldn,t Lie for that Money"

A story is told of young Waterville,
Me-, lawyer, who was Of convival turn,
who had in his hands number of un-
settled accounts against an old farmer in
the vicinity, who never paid any debts
until he was sued, and then only after
loud outcries against the lawyers for
"grinding the faces of the poor" One
day he came in to settle bill, when the
lawyer offered to discount him dollar
and half if he would go into the street,
mingle with all the groups of people
whom he might meet and lead the con-
versation up to a point where he could
incidentally remark that he (the lawyer)
was sharp and worthy fellow. The
old man wanted the money, but finally
he said impressively: esquire ! I'm a
very old man and have done many
wicked things in my life; but with my
views of eternit: 1 can't lie like that for
money" The dollar and half was dis
counted without extorting any recon-
pense therefor.

About the Dobrudscha.

The Dobrudscha is everywhere shut
in by natural barriers--on the north
and west by the Danube, on the east by
the Black sea, and on the south by the
river and lake of Kara-su, which may
be said to separate the peninsula be-
tween Kustendjie and Tchefnavofla from
Bulgaria. Here, where the, country is
divided by valley into two large sec:
tions, "the ruins OF the for6fcations OF
Traian still present q huge double wall,
which would not beswithOpt{ {mihtary

Hating PEOPLE.

Hate not. It is not worth while.
Your life is not long enough to make it
pay to cherish i'll will or hard thoughts
toward anyone. What if that man has
cheated you, or that woman played you
false? What if this friend has forsaken
you in your time of need, OF that one
having won your utmost confidence, your
warmest love, has concluded that he
prefers to consider and treat You IS
stranger? Let it all pass. What
difference will it make to You i'll few
years, when you go hence to the ''un-
discovered country" All who treat
YOU wrong now will he more sorry for it
then than you, even in your deepest dis
appointment and grief, can be. A few
more smiles, few more tears, some
pleasure, much pain, a little longer
hurrying and worrying in the world,
some hasty greetings and abrupt fare
wells, and life will be over, and the in
iurer and the injured Will be laid away
and ere long forgotten. Is it worth
while to hate each other?

prodigious. A fanatical Marabout had
agreed to give himself up to the French
sorcerer for the experiment.
The preparations were on grand
scale.
The Marabout was made to stand upon
table, and was covered with transpar-
ent gauze. Then Hcudin and another
person lifted the table by the ends,
when the Arab disappeared in a profuse
cloud of smoke. The terror OF the spec
tators was indescribable. They rushed
out of the place, and ran long distance
before some of the boldest could make
ND their minds to return and look upon
the Marabout. They found him near
the spot where he had so mysteriously
disappeared, but he could not answer
their questions could tell them moth
ing at all-and only gazed wildly at
them like one bereft of his senses. He
was entirely ignorant of what had hap
pened to him.
This was Houdin's closing exhibition
in Arabia. He had filled the minds of
the people with wonder, he was venera-
ted by all, while the pretentious Mara
bouts were in utter disgrace. Their in
fiuence was banished. He had met these
coniurors on their own ground, and had,
in a most incredible short time, COM
pletely vanquished them.
The object of the French government
was completely attained, and Houdin re-
turned to his home. He had made no
naouniarv terms with the minister of
foreign affairs before obeying his orders;
but so well satisfied was the government
with his remarkable success, that, be-
sides paying all his expenses, he was
presented with check upon the treasury
for so, 900 francs. :. !.
Such is single chapter in the life OF
q famous French wizard.
