The Journal de s.. Petersburg says
that England must yield Ter wishes to

y San Stefano dispatch of March 26th
says: "Gand Duke Nicholas, with a
suite Of twenty, will proceed tomorrow
morning in the imperial yacht 'Lividia'
to visit the Sultan, who will imme.
diately return it at one Of the palaces
placed at the Grand Dukes disposal, or
on board the Lividia'"
\ correspondent says that a reconst'-
tuition Of the triple alliance is preparing
for the purpose Of opposing British pol
icy. To this end, says the correspond
ent, Russia is Offering Austria every
concession, and he believes negotiation
will undoubtedly succeed. From other
advices this seems an exaggerated pro-
Russian view. Austria's objections are
to the whole treaty Of San Stefano.
a correspondent at st. Petersburg,
under date Of March 24th, learns from
good sources that no formal represen-
tation will probably be made for the
present about the presence Of the Brit
ish fleet in the Sea of Marmora, but
Russian troops will not embark now as
was intended. Influential aud moder-
ate politicians remark that fear Of Eng
lands policy will force Russia to occupy
Constantinople aud drive the Sultan
from Europe. The correspondent also
adds that the only hope Of peace is in a
speedy assembling OF the Congress; that
hope, however, throughout Russia is
fast fading, and bellicose excitement is
intense, even in st. Petersburg.

that the State authorities had already too
lists, and that it was high time to put q
stop to them, in order to save society from
utter ruin, the Ministers jnstiAed the anti

rath and the German Chancellor. "If.n
said he, "the Reichstsg refuses 70 adopt
the Governments We've in this question, it
would have to bear the whole responsibility
for its want of energy and initiative. The
Govern ment knew very well that the pro
posed measures could not convert Sc
cialists to sounGer principles that such
q task belonged almost exclusively to the
Church, for the great mischief done by 80
cial democracy was not 30 much TO national
economy as TO the working classes, who
were robbed of what alone gives dignity to
human life-their religion" He then show
ed to what extremes the Socialists went in
their attacke on Christianity. Only q few
days ago female speaker said in . meeting
of Socialist women in Berlin, Il believe
that it is high time that work women should
once for all turn their backs upon religion,
and prevent their children from learning
religion in the schools. We demand that
our children should be taught true science
and morale" The best speech delivered on
the drst day of the debate was undoubted
ly that of DR.. Jorg, . member of the Centre
party. He, too, recognised the great
danger that threatened society by the
spread and growth of the Socialist power,
but ne denied thSt police measures could :.
do any good. he expected everything
from . cloee union Of all conservative
powers In State aod society, and especially
as Minister II ufmann had rightly said,
from the Church, which ought to enjoy
unlimited freedom instead of being put in
fetters by the State. At the same time,
they ought to restore the religious eharac-
ter to their schools, which, without religion,
were eeminaries of Social Democracy. He
praised the good will Of the Government,
but nevertheless could not vote for the
bill, IS be felt convinced that brute force
would prove entirely useless. As to the
Social Democrat-members, they handed in
a written declaration signed by all their
members, in which they complained of the
injustice of being held answerable for the
deed of q madman, who did not even
belong to their party, and finally declared
that they could not reconcile it with their
dignity TO take part in the discussion of
this special law, but that they would give
their vote against this unheard of attempt
on the freedom of the people.

THEsa HEART.-Thro throb, throb.
Never sleeping but often tired, loaded with
care, chilledaby despair, bleeding with
wounds, often inflicted by those who do
not understand it, or burdened with affec-
ton, it must beat on for lifetime. Moth
ing finds a lodgment in it's chambers that
does not add to it's labors. Every thought
that the mind generates steps upon the
heart before it wings it's way into the outer
world. The memory of dead loved ones
are mountains of weight upon its sensitive
ness; the anxieties of the soul stream to
the heart and bank themselves upon it, as
the early snowdrifts cover the tender plant;
love. if it loves, fires it with .feverish
warmth, and makes it the more sensitive !;
hate, if it hates, beats it to desperation
and fills it with conflicts. Still it works
on. When slumber closes the eyelids, the
heart is beating beating beneath all its
burdens; it works while we sleep; it
works while we play it aches when we
laugh. Do not unnecessarily wound it; do
not add to it's bleeding wounds. Speak a
kind word to cheer it; warm it when it Is
cold; encourage it when it dispairs. Good
Words.

APPROPRIATENESS OF FRETTERs.-
One fretter can destroy the peace of a
family, can disturb the harmony of a
neighborhood, can unsettle the councils of
cities and hinder in the legislation of ma
tions. He who frets is never the one who
mends, who heals, who repairs evils more,
he discourages, enfeebles, and too often
disables those around him, who, but for
the gloom and depression of his company,
would do good work and keep up brave
hearts.-The effect upon sensitive per-
son in the mere neighborhood of fretter
is indescribable. 1t is to the soul what a
cold, icy mist is to the body, more chilling
than the bitterest storm. And when the
fretter is one who is beloved, whose near
ness of relation to us makes his fretting at
the weather seem like personal reproach
to us, then the misery Of it becomes in
deed insupportable. Most men call fret
ting minor fault-a foible, and not a
vice. There is no vice except drunkenness
which can so utterly destroy the peace,
the happiness, of home. &

BE AGREEABLE AT MEALs.-Every
one can do something to add to the social
life at the table. If one cannot talk, he
can listen or ask questions and draw, out
others who can talk. Good listeners are
as necessary as good takers. Never argue
at the table but tell pleasant stories, re-
late or read anecdotes and look out for the
good of all. Sometimes a single anecdote
from the paper starts conversation that
lasts during the meal time.
A family table ought to be bright and
cheerful, sort of domestic altar, where
every one casts down his or her offering,
great or small, Of pleasantness and peace /;
where, for at least brief space of the day,
all annoyances are laid aside, all stormy
tempters hushed, all quarrels healed every
one being glad and content to sit down at
the same board and eat the same bread
ana salt, making it, whether it were a
rich repast. or dinner Of herbs, equally a
joyful, almost sacramento meal.

SLEEPING FLOWERS. "A lmost all flow
ers sleep during the night. The marigold
goes to bed with the sun, and with him
rises weeping. Many plants are so sensi-
tive that they close their leaves during
the passage of a cloud. The dandelion
opens at or in the morning, and shuts
at in the evening. The goatsbeard wakes
at in the morning, and shuts at or 6 in
the evening. The English daisy shuts up
its blossoms in the evening, and opens its
''day's eye" to meet the early beams Of
the morning sun The crocus, tulip, and
many others, close their blossoms at diff
ferent hours towards the evening. The
ivy-leaved lettuce opens at in the morn
ing, and closes at 4 ia the afternoon. The
night Towering cereus turns night into day.
1t begins to expand its magnificent, sweet
scented blossoms in the twilight; it is full
blown at midnight, and closes, never to
open again with the dawn of day. Those
plants which seem to be awake all night
have been called ''tha bats and owls of the
vegetable kingdom.''

About Dogs.

| Few persons are aware OF the value, va
riety and weight of dogs, varying as they
do from 100 pounds to less than one pound
and valued at from $500 to less than moth
ing. A description of different kinds of
dogs may be interesting. @ftE
The Siberian blood hound weighs about
100 pounds, measures 40 inches in grit.
and is worth nearly $500. H-5
The st. Bernard dog, which is Of a buff
or light lead color, is very large and valua-
| BILE.
The Newfoundland dog, when pure, is
entirely black, and it's pups are worth from
$1ete $40. s,ss, s7ssss3g ssss asss sss5isssfsssd
The shepherd dog, OF Scotch cody, is
wonderful for its patience, fidelity and
bravery. 1t is worth from $50 to 800.
The English mastiff, good watch dog,
is worth from SIS to $25.
Of terriers, the black and tan is most ad-
mired. 1t varies in weight from one
pound to twenty-five pounds, and increases
in value as it decreases in weight. Ter
riels are often crossed with the italian
greyhound, producing very delicate, but
extremely useless dog. The Scotch terrier
is the hardest of dogs, is very courageous,
and is worth from SO to $50.
Scotch deerhounds are the rarest and
most valuable of hunting dogs. They are
owned principally by the nobility of Eng
land, and are worth 500 each.
The beagle is the smallest of the hound
kind, has superior scent and endurance,
and, in short, is the best sort of rabbit
hunter. u
English greyhounds, the feetest of dogs,
are worth from SIS to 800 each.
The italian greyhound is mereley a par
lor dog. The pure breed is rare and valu-
able, a fine one being worth $3.50.
There is great variety of pointers, set.
tiers and spaniels. The Prince Charles va
riety is the most valuable of spanlels. He
is supposed to have originated in Japan,
where similar breed exists. He has
large, full eye, black and tan color, and
never weighs over ten pounds. They have
been sold at auction in England at $4,000
each.
The coach dog is from Denmark, and is
not of much value.

The Mistress of the White House Thirty Years

. A paragraph which has been in general
circulation recently, mentioning the fact
that eK-presldent Tyler's widow was con-
firmed in the Roman Catholic Church by
Archbishop Gibbons, last week, has given
to many the impression that she has lately
been converted to that faith. On the con-
trary, she was baptised in the chapel Of the
Georgetown ID. O. Convent six years ago
and would have been confirmed long since
had not sudden sickness prevented every
time day was appointed for the ceremo-
ny. She came here from New York to be
confirmed with her daughter several years
lago, but was seized with chill and was
unable to be present. Again last week she
had chill the day the others, who were to
have been confirmed with her, were con-
firmed in one of the Catholic churches in
Georgetown. Mrs. Tyler is visiting friends
who live directly opposite the convent. and
the Archbishop, sympathising with her
disappointment. sent her word he would
confirm her alone in the covenant chapel.
Though still very weak from her recent

so exhausted that she could scarcely rise
from her knees when it was over. She is
now almost entirely well again. III
She is still handsome woman with a
complexion almost as blooming as when
she became the bride of President. Her
teeth are very white and regular, adding
much to the charm of her smiling face,
and she does not seem to have lost one, or
to have single streak of gray in her
black hair, which she, like Mrs. Hayes,
wears combed smoothly over her ears in
the fashion they adopted in their youth.
She likes nothing better than to talk over
the past, the romance of her courtship and
marriage, and her brief but eventful life
IN the White House, whose mistress She
was from June, 1874, to March, 1915. She
is the only woman who ever married a
President of the United States while IN
office, and consequently the only one who
ever held wedding reception in the
White House as Presidents bride. She
has the rare gift Of making her personal
"reminiscences so interesting to her hear
ers that they wish she would continue
