An Austrian Emperor and His Love
StOry.

The Emperor Francis Joseph Of
Austria is indefatigable in his APP
plication to business. He retires
to rest at the time when life is be-
ginning in Vienna, and at 5 o'clock
in the winter, as in the summer,
the emperor, active, laborious and
watchful, is always Oh foot again.
He breakfasts on a cup of coffee
placed on his desk, smokes one Of
the ordinary Viennese cigars while
reading yoluminous dispatches, and
remains hard at work until the
early family dinner. Enthusiastic
sportsman as he is, and devoted to
mountain scenery, no wonder he is
delighted to hurry away to his ia.
vorite hunting grounds in the hills
of the Sa~ltzkammergat. He leaves
Vienna IN the evening, like an
honest merchant who has finished
his business; he crosses the Traun.
see in the night, and arrives at
Ischl at 5 O'Clock in the morning.
There he is to be seen in his blouse,
with his great walking-stick, roam
ing about in the most enchant-
ing district Of all his picturesqe
domains, or chatting familiarly
with the peasants or their children.
He is very happy in his marriage.
His first meeting with the future
empress was romantic. One of hel
sisters had been destined for the
imperial throne, and when Francis
Joseph in his hunting.dress arrived
one evening at his father-in- law
residence on the Traunsee, he was
received by four young ladies Of thu
family who have all since then mad,
excellent marriages. AS he wa
chatting with the group he saw al
apparition of beauty, with mag
nifcent hair floating over her shoul
ders, illuminated in the full GLOW
of the sunset, approaching then
from a neighboring wood. 1t wa
/ the Princess Elizabeth, the fifth o
the sisters, and the emperor fron
! that moment became her slave.

WONDERFUL SPECIMEN.

Prot. ". Frank Stewart has in his pos
session specimen, the like of which has
probably never before been seeD in any part
of the world. It is piece of charcoal some
five inches in length and half an inch thick,
on which is formed about one inch of as
handsome bituminous coal as ever was dug
out of the bowels of the earth. The coal is
somewhat crystalline in structure. 1t shows
no sign of the grain of the wood from which
it was formed, while the charcoal, to which
it is firmly united, shows the grain of the
original wood through its whole length-l
in fact, nothing more than piece of ordi.
nary porus charcoal. The bituminous coal
gives to the whole specimen about the
weight lump of ordinary coal Of its size
should have. This remarkable specimen
was taken from coal pit of the kind COM
monly constructed in Eastern Nevada in
burning coal for use in the smelling fur
naces. 1t is proof positive that under
certain amount of pressure, and when sub
mitted to proper degree Of heat, pine
wood may be converted into bituminous
coal As it so distinctly shows this as to
convince any one who sees it of the fact,
the specimen is sinvaluable, and would doubt
less create great sensation were it ex-
bibited before some. of the learned socie-
ties of the Atlantic States or Europe. The
specimen is sound and firm in every respect
and there is no reason why it may not be
preserved for hundreds or thousands OF
years if not exposed to fire. n ~g,aM

WOMAN,s LOVE.

A man, who had struggled with q malg'
nant disease, approached that crisis in its
stage on which his life seemed to depend.
Sleep, uninterrupted sleep, might insure
his recovery. His anxious wife, scarcely
daring to breathe, was sitting by his bed;
her servants, exhausted by constant watch
ing, had all left her. It was past mid
night; door was left open for air; she
heard, in the stiffness of the night, a win
dow open below stairs, and soon after ap-
preaching footsteps. A moment more and
a man with his face disguised entered the
room. She instantly saw her husbands
danger, and anticipating the design of the
unwelcome intruder, she pointed to her
husband, and pressing her finger upon. her
lips to implore silence, held out to the rob-
Der her purse and her keys. To her great
surprise, he took neither. Whether he
was terrified or charmed by. the courage
of her affection cannot be known. N He left
the room, and, without robbing q, house
sanctifed by such strength of affection, he
departed. '~ ''''4'' y

FIERCE FaGHT WITH WOLVES.

On recent night, Norwegian farm
hand, living northeast of Spring Valley,
Fillmore County, Mimi, in the edge of the
big timber, had lively fight with three
wolves. He started out after dark with
single-barreled shotgun, to shoot down
wolf, whose howls he could hear some dis
tance off in the timber. The stars were
brg gh, in an unclouded sky, and even in the
woods the hunter could see quite plainly
for a short distance. The howls of the an
imal led him in the right course, and the
sounds grew palmer as he advanced; and,
after about half hours. search, he espied
the wolf crouched upon brush heap, in an
opening" in the shrubbery-evidently a
den. The wolf not retreating upon his ap-
proach, he Immediately fired at it. The
wolf sprang at him before he could make
tle first motion toward reloading his gun,
and in about three seconds the snow and
shrubbery were flying right and left in a
tussel between man and beast Embold-
ened by hunger, the fierce animal en-
deavored to fasten on the mans throat, and,
though the hunter succeeded in giving the
wolf two or three severe blows ON the head
and sides, it seemed only the more en-
ragged and ferocious, and gave tongue to
continual howls and snarls while maintain
ing the fight. Two other wolves, evidently
called by the howls of the first, appeared on
the scene. The last two were smaller than
but as ferocious as the leader Clubbing
his gun, the man finally planted a terrific
blow on the neck of one, laying it out life
less, and then began retreat for the timber
edge, beating off the brutes as well as he
could. When the clear field was reached,
Ills weapon was minus the stock, and he
held only bent gun-barrel in his hands,
having hit the trees about him oftener than
the wolves; but he succeeded in keeping
them from doing any serious injury until
he came to the open country, where he
ran for dear life. The wolves followed
him but a short distance. .....
