Tho Chancellor ana Ills Dog I'm Vienna.
"My dogl Where is my dog?" we

"My dogl Where is my dog2" were
Prince Bismarek's first words on alighting
OH the platform of tho Wcstbahn Railway
Station one night, and sure enough, there
he was, the sleek quadrupcd who so scri
ously hnpcrillcd the Precious existence of
Prince Gortschakoff during the Congress.
With bound Sultang who hadu travelled
sccond-class, was at hls masters side, COW
cring him with bolster bus manifestations of
canine affection, and lot taking the slight
est notice of Count Andrussy and Prince
Reuss. who kept Il respectful distance until
Sultan had satisfied himself that the Prince
was none the worse for his Journey. The
meeting between Count Antlrassy and his
lllustrlous guest was a cordial one, and arm
in-arm they walked I'd the Court carriage,
private brougham ofEthc Emperor's, that
was waiting to take Prince Bismarck to the
hotel where he is staying. e.
Hardly were the two statesmen, seated
and ready to start ere down went the win
dow Oh the near side, and a stcntoriln
voice cried out. "M4in hundl Who int
mein hund2" If anything had befallcn
that blessed dog whilt Prince Bismurck's
attention was momcutarily turned to another
direction, it is my firm belief that it would
have been all up with the Austro- German
alliance, and the incenscd Chancellor would
have taken the next train back to Berlin.
Sultan is, however, am experienced travel
Ter, and has 4 very good notion of how to
take care of himself. In a twinkling he was
out OF The carriage door, and, assisted by two
court flunkcys, he scdatcly took his seat on
the rug at the feet of the two gentlemen in
side. Judge of the ostnpcfaction of the
crowd assembled outside the Hotel Imperial
On seeing the four-lcg9cd occupant of tho
court brougham leap out with bark, and,
contrary to all etiquette, greet the nearest
bystandcrs in a most unpleasantly demon
strative style. l never saw such ridcul-
ous sight. in my life. People fled in all di
roctions, for Sultan has bad reputation.
He nearly upset the Congress by Il unjusti-
fable attack upon the Russian Plcnipotcn-
tialy, and since then he has manned one of
the Berlin Foreign Office officials for life,
because he sat down on the chair usually
occupied by Prince Bismarck. The worst
of it is that he is not the genuine historical
favortc Of the Chancellor but only spuri
Gus imitation. Sultan-tllc original Sultan
i learn was poisoned couple of years
ago. and nothing can shake Prince Bis
marck's conviction that it was two Social
Democrats who did it. This is no banter
of mine, but ll-authcnticatcd fact known
to every Berliner. 1t is, doubtless, to pre-
serve Sultan the second from a similar fate
that six Berlin detectives arrived last night,
and, together with the police of Vienna,
have taken unwontcd measures of prccau-
ton i'll the neighborhood of the Hotel In
pcrial. They were certainly not wanted
for the safety Of Prince Bismarck. who runs
no risk whatever.

Petroleum rs n Romedy for Consumption.

The scenes which are daily witnessed at
the oil works at Point Breeze, to which
numbers of eonsumptivcs resort in order to
iDhalc the yapols from the stills nd obtain
crude oil for internal application have
their counterpart over in France A Gov
ernment report, recently published in the
BOtlettm tie IHcrapeutiQne, narrates that
retincr of petroleum was prohibited by a
Prefcct from distributing petroleum in med
icinal doses. Some Of the sufferers appeal
cd, and the Government ordered DR..
Blache, prominent medical practitioner,
to institute an investigation as to the utility
of petroleum in affections of the chest.
Native petroleum from Pennsylvania and
Virginia was experimental with DR..
Blacho, in his report, stated that lie found
that, in chronic brohchitis with abundant
expectoration, 1t rapidly diminished the
amount of tho secretion and the paroxysms
of coughing while in simple bronchitis
rapid ameloration was obtained. Its en-
ployment n,phthiss was continued for too
short time to warraot any opinion regard
ing Its efficiency, beyond that it Is diminish
ing the expectoration, which also lost it's
purulent character. DR.. Blache says that
the petroleum is popularly taken In doses of
a tcaspoonful before each meal, and that
after the first day any nausea which it ex-
cites In most persons disappears.

the death of his son, Sir John Burgoyne,

On one occasion, while journeying
through the White mountain region, Agas-
siz and his scientific companion, seated on
the top of a stage, irritated the driver by
repeatedly calling upon him to stop when
they noticed anything botanically fascina-
ting on tho road, and jumping down from
their seats In order to obtain it. Prof. Eel
ton who was with them, kept his seat dur
ing the whole ride, and told the driver in
explanation of their conduct that they were

coachman had another load of passengers,
he narrated to those near him on the box
the strange freaks Of his yesterdays COM

FADES TUE DAYLIGHT.

Fades the daylight. and tho shadows
Slowly gather Oh tho lawn;
Now the night falls on the meadows,
And tho light Of day is gono.
In the darkness which onfolds mo
Tender memories come onoe moro
How each thought enohains and holds me
Or the dear onos gone before.
Not In pain and not in sorrow
Think of the loved eues gone
Every night has still Ilorrow,
Darkness but precedes tho dawn.
Were 1t not for heart-ties r, on,
For tho friends that come no moro,
There would be no hope Of he4ven
In the bright forovermore.
So whilo shadows darken O. or ME,
Sit at the close Of day
Loved, lost features are before mo,
Faces, whioh have passed away
Voices which made happy laughter
Come again in tones Of love;
Sweetly eohoos follow after
Twilight angels bond above.
Is It daylight which is fading
Light Of day which now must flee ?
1t Is but the happy shading
or brighter day to be.
30 when twilight dreams have found me,
Twilight voices fill the air,
Loved, lost beings gather round mo.
And their forms are passing fair.

Eye Glasaos In tho French Army.

The hostility with which the old school of
military men in France regard the Rcpub-
lie and oil it's works will not be lcssencd by
q circular recently issued by the Minister Of
War. Orders arc now given that soldiers
In the ranks shall be allowed, when sur
gcon has testified to the necessity, to wear
spcctacles. The officers who Obtained their
promotion when the Empire boastcd of pos
scssing the neatcst and best equipped army
in Eur0pe-a boast which was afterwards
found to be not with deficiency
in more serviccablc fighting qualities have
been scandaliZcd beyond measure by this
order. They say that the Rcpublicon adj
ministration of the army abuses the maxim,
"Fas cat ct 06 ho8te d0ceri," and rushcs
into an unsccmly imitation of the German
military system, even in It's pctticst acci-
dents The Germans, it is well known
have mover objected to tho enlistment of
short-sghtcd soldiers who could sec well
enough for service in the field, with the aid
OF glasses. But the professional pcdantry
OF French officers cannot endure to look
upon soldier in the ranks arraycd In pam
oply provided by the optician. They have
the fear OF tho caricaturist too constantly
before their eyes. According to French
correspondent, who declares that he was a
witness of the act, an officer was seen the
other day to snatch the spectaclcs from tho
face Of an amazed rescryistc Of the line, and
to tramplc them publicly under foot, as a
solemn protest against the scandalous prac-
tice. 1t is difficult to believe that this vehc-
ment upholder of accepted military usage
can submit to remain in the army after tho
recent circular Of the Minister Of War. !,

indians and Road AGENTS.

BY reference to a Deadwood dispatch
printed elsewhere in this issue, it will
be seen that the sivages have resumed
their bloody work on the Fort Pierre
route to the Black Hills. That route
has never been free from depredations.
Whenever the road agents stake a
rest" the redskins begin with remark
able industry where they left off. Be-
tween these two classes of outlaws,
travellers and settlers have serio-s OBJ
stacles with which to contend. While
extending them u sympathy. let us at
the same time rejoice that Wyoming is
free from the raids of the savages, and
that road agency is virtually a thing of
the past.
