The Emperor of Germany.

An audience of the Emperor, in his
cabinet on the ground floor of his pal
ace at Berlin, resembles no other royal
audience. The emperor is clad in his
long military frOck coat, with its two
rows of buttons. He is marvelously
neat, very straight, and rather stiff.
His contour is we'll preserved. His
body is well made. His limbs are pow
erful. His extremities indicate an old
and good race. His face, more grave
than severe, with its beard cut in Ger
man fashion, is well known. The
smile which plays on his face, is at
times very young. When this tall old
man speaks to the women who, during
the summer months. form his court at
Elms, he seems to date back to the sew
enteenth century. The emperor has
the beautiful blue eyes of Frederick the
Great. But however large his eyes
they have not the dimensions of the
eyes of Frederick. The scant hairs,
formerly light brown. to-day ashen, are
parted low on the left, crossing but not
covering the crown OF his head. Will
liam seems to me, to personify absolute
ly the type of an emperor of the Olden
time-large, strong, handsome-a SOL
dier. The faces of Alexander and
Francis Joseph are those Of modern
emperor The gaze Of William has q

Sister of a Thief.

She was standing Just beyond the
desk railing leaning against a cell door,
and was talking confidentially to one
of the keepers. She is hunchbacked
and has that weird interest and de-
formed shrew.1ness which always at
tach TO these curious little people. He
eyes are black and beautiful, sparklin
with animation, and, when contrasted
with the weazened old-young face ,sug-
gest jewels set in parchment. The
bent figure does not measure in height
more than three feet. The hands are
long, thin, and deeply veined With blue
streaks. On her head she wore jaunty
hat of straw, with bright scarlet rib
bon, that seemed a blaze of color amid
the mucky, neutral tints Of the place.
Those who delight in gray should visit
the Tombs; the place where every
thing is gray save the prisoners; they
are blue. This little girl is sixteen
years of age, and is the sister of thief.
He has served two terms on the Island,
and is now in the fourth tier of the
Tombs awaiting trial in default of one
thousand dollars bail for larceny from
three persons. Through thick and thin
the tiny, deformed sister has clung to
him, has refused to believe i'm his guilt,
has considered him the victim of plots,
and was on visit of coincidence and
encouragement to her brother when
the writer saw her. She had just come
down from the fourth tier and was hav-
ing lively chat with the keeper. 1t
would be poetic art to paint this little
girl as a radiant angel striving to ward
off with her wings the blow aimed at
her brother by Justice, but strong as is
the temptation, we cannot succumb to
it. She is an angel in sisterly devo-
ton. but, while believing that her bro
ther is individually guiltless of all the
crimes with which he is charged, she
does not seem to particularly dcprecate
the system of robbery in the abstract.
She is concert angel, and one who,
through long residence in the Sixth
ward has become imbued with its prin-
ciples and its slang.
"Are you going down to the District
Attorneys office to see any one about
Jimmy Z" was asked her.
The little face was upturned sarcasti-
cally to the questioner and the reply
came:
"No; what do you take me for? 1t
would need ''iinf'' to get inside the
door.'
After the reporter had been intro
duced he questioned this queer Tombs
visitor:
"Do you come here often?"
"Well, yes. You see Jimmy gets

Origin of the Canadian Horse.

l have occasionally seen il asserted in
our agricultural papers that the Cana
dian is Norman reduced by scantier
food, cold climate, etc. Now, this, 1
think, physically impossible, as a re-
duction of size in this way, am conf
dent, would produce a long-legged,
slab-sided, stumbling brute, very differ
ent from the compact, hardy, fine
formed, active little Canadian, as he
has existed there As far back as the
memory of man, still maintaining his
ground in considerable numbers, not
withstanding the numerous crosses i'm
late years of larger English horses.
When in Quebec, in 1852, saw very
fine light or dappied gray stallion,
much in the style of Mr.. Dunham's
Success" only he was finer in his
points. He was about fourteen hands
high, possibly not over thirteen and
one-half hands,-a real beauty, with
fine action, etc. In Paris. in 1867,
saw the exact counterpart of this stall
lion-also other equally small horses of
the same style, though not so fine.
Now, I have no doubt that when the
first French settled in Canada, this was
the sort of horse they imported, and
have continued to breed and own to the
present day, Ships, or rather brigan-
tines, in those days were too small, /
presume, to bring over seventeen or
eighteen hand horses, weighing 1880
to 1000 pounds, as some of the Scotch
Canadian breeders boast of importing
now.

A Bean story.

In the years lang syne, when the
beautiful village of Canandaigua boast
ed of its legal talent and its wealth,
there existed among the members of its
bar, spirit of keen, but honorable en-
ulation to excel not alone in forensic dis
plays, but also in the requirement of
the luxuries and comforts of an elegant
hospitality. In those early days the
facilities of an express company were
unknown, and the anxious caterer was
forced TO rely upon his own resources
rather than upon the productions of
more genial cline to supply the earliest
contributions 10 his table. At one of
those elaborate and perfect dinners
that marked that era, the question of
propagating, and forcing early vegeta-
bles engaged attention. One made
specially of particular vegetable; an
other one, of different kind but each
apparently was eminently successful
in his line. Between John C.. Spencer
and Mark Fl. Sibley, a spirited discus
ing early beans. Ii ended as such
discussions generally do, with the wa
ger of a dinner to be Paid by him who
failed to produce beans of his own
raising first Time passed, and as the
warm spring rains forced the earth's
treasures forth, Mr.. Spencer was obser-
we'd to be unusually attentive to his gar
den, and was to be seen there more fire.
quently than he was ever before known
to be. One morning breakfast was un-
accountably delayed by his non-appear-
ance, although it was known that he
had risen long before. At last he came
in and took his seat, smile of satisfac-
ton irradiating his countenance as, with
an ejaculation of relief, he said :''I've
caught that fellow Sibley! He can't
overreach ME with his cunning,"
"What is the matter? was querie1-
''Why, he thought to get the advantage
of me in early beans, and so the
scamp bribed my gardener TO transplant
them wrong end uppermost. But I've
matched him; for Eve replanted them
bean end downward, confoand him. ~
Whether Sibley was guilty of the charge
or not This deponent does not say; but
that he turned the laugh on his grave
friend. for the peculiar display Of hor-
ticultural knowledge, grand dinner,
when bean time came round, was the
proof,
