The Archduchess Christine.
The Prospective Queen of Spain Collect
ing Stamps for Piano.
Vienna Neue Freie Press.l

The Archduchess Christine is not an impos-
ing beauty. She, however, has that charm and
gracefulness which have won all hearth. The
archduchess has a tall and slender figure and q
lovable face with blue eyes, dimpled cheeks
somewhat fair hair, making an attractive
ensemble; small hands, almost like a child's
and silyery voice complete a graceful pic
ture The archduchess has been educated un-
der the watchful care of her mother, to whom
she is deeply attached She is as well acquainted
with four foreign languages as with her own;
she draws and paints, mostly flowers, and is an
excellent pianist. In GmundeD, where the
family of the archduchess regularly passed the
summer, the archduchess occupied herself with
wood carving under the tuition OF clever ar
tst Every year she forwarded number Of
warm garments made by herself to the poor
children of Gmunden The archduchess is
much attached to her former teachers and
governesses and is full of kind attention and
regard for her attendants. Immediately on
the arrival of q former instructor on visit,
the archduchesS will herself draw footstools
and cushions for her visitors comfort, and nu-
merous are the occasions when the archduchess
has been seen plodding her way down the
steep wooden steps in Gmunden to visit one of
her former governesses. She yields without
any contradiction to any wish expressed by her
teachers, be it ever so difficult, and reloiceS

free in her political views, not in the least
moved by outside influences and never conceal
ing her most decided antipathies. The young
archduchess was devouty attached to her un-
Gle, the Archduke Francis Charles (the EN-
peror's father and whenever he announced
his coming from Ischl to Gmuuden to dine
with the archduchess and her mother, the day
was sure to be kept as a festival. The kind
hearted archduke never neglected any oppor-
tunitv of giving his dear Christa pleasure.
When, two years ago (the last summer of his
life) the young archduchess was hard at work
collecting stamps for poor young lady in
Munich who wished to win a splendid Borsen-
dorfer piano by collecting million of stamps,
in return for which an English gentleman Of
fered to give this piano, her uncle Francis
Charles forwarded stamps to further his dar-
ling's wish. The young archduchess, when
seventeen years of age, shed many tears when
she was informed that the Emperor had Sc
lected her to be the abbess of the ladies con-
vent at Prague. 1t took a long time to convince
and persuade her that she had not to take the
veil and to go in to the elOister, but that this
was simply place of high honor apd that she
could at any moment exchange it for the bridal

'FAUsr'' and everybody else who is il-
dulging in the absurd nonsense about the
governor and council counting out any SEN
ator or Representative are referred to this
from the Lewiston journal. ''The Senate
stands 10 Republicans to IL fusionists, and
all the Republicans except one were each Sc
lected by from 800 to 1900 majority, as
shown by the official returns forwarded to
the office of Secretary of State by the mu-
nfctPuf Ufffcvr1 Of tire scvrrat J0wns. When
the governor and council shall open these
returns in November, it will be their duty to
simply add up the figures just as they find
them attested to by the municipal officers,
and summon the gentlemen found to have a
plurality of the votes thus returned, to meet
to form Senate the first Wednesday of
January. All allegations Of fraud and irreg-
ularities will be considered by the Senate
thus formed, and not by any governor and
council. Gentlemen who originated the
cock and bull story about what the fusion
governor and council are going to do, ought
to have first read the constitution of Maine,
and then they would not have been guilty of
uttering nonsense"

The Dignity of Office.

A Detroiter, who was rusticating in one of

L ct such politicians take a back seat for
awhile"

Under the caption of ''We can name the
parties,'' the Camden Herald, Greenback
organ, tells this story:
''In the west part of our town near where
Minot Tolman lives, there was little trans
action Town Meeting day by which a poor
man, who was intending to vote the Green
back ticket changed his mind and voted the
Republican ticket. The said poor man has
been kept off from the town by his neighbors
who have contributed. from time to time to
his support. The next morning after election
his wife called at a Greenbacker's house, and
said that she had not had mess of green corn
this summer. The Greenbacker did not cave,
and then she asked him if he would not give her
a mess He replied that she had better look to
her Republican friends for aid, as they had
thought enough of her husband to get him to
vote that ticket"
By all means give us the names. The
Greenbacker mean enough to refuse to give
a poor man mess of green corn because he
voted the Republican ticket deserves to be
shown up. The Herald will be deserving
Of some respect if it refuses to conceal in
the interests Of its party the name of this
contemptibly mean person.

THE Greenbdck Labor Chronicle has this
warning for the Greenbackers: "Beware of
the political tricksters who led the great
Greenback party of the State on to defeat
in the last election. You have taken their
advice once. 1t has not proved to be what
they promised. They wanted office as well
as success. They will still want office. They
will now be among the foremost for change
of programme. Seeing that fusion was a
losing game they will cry aloud for straight
party and straight principles. Not because
they believe in the principles more than they
knocked the delusion of fusion out of them

now been gathered and it is estimated by
skillful judges that the yield of wheat, oats

crop, and that the loss to cultivators will

''None but white members of the Conserva-

printed in the Richmond papers, and in
order that there might be no mistake, the
word "white'' was printed in small captal

Hartford Courant: They had a dime supper
in the neighborhood of Pawtucket, conceived
and carried out by the ladies' The conditions
of this novel supper were these: For every
word spoken by the gentlemen at the supper
table forfeit of ten cents was imposed; but ON
the other hand (as duties are always compen-
sated with rights, and restrictions with privi-
leges) it was agreed that whoever could wealth
er the whole supper, submitting to all queries,
surprises and ingenious questions without re-
plying, should be entitled to it gratuitously
Many and frequent were the artifces and sub
to entrap the ungharded, and one after ahofh-
er went down before the constant volley of art
full interrogations. AT last all fell out and
paid the dime penalty save one Individual
queer chap-whom nobody seemed to know.
He attended strictly to business and passed un-
needed these jokes, iibes and challenges. They
quizzed him but all in vain. He wrestled with
the turkey and grappled with the goose. He
bailed out the cranberry sauce with unswery
ing hand, and he ate celery as the Scriptural
vegetarian ate grass, and finally, when he had
finished his fifth piece of pie, he whipped out
