lusty health and vigorous power of work,
nor does the weight of over 81 years per-
ceptiblv bend his tall and stalwart frame.
He scorn. to he thought on the wane, and
the consideration which would occasionally
offer him an assisting arm or sympathiZe
with a passing ailment is not always en-
tirely welcome.
y STATESMAN AND \ CHRISTIAN.
His Majesty is never happier than when
receiving the reports of his Ministers and
Generals, never more contented than when
reviewing his guards. Every day almost of
the last few weeks has seen him for several
hours III the saddle and upright in it, too,
sometimes beneath scorching sun, canter
ing across the parade ground with a firm
ness of seat unequaled by the youngest Gen
eral on his staff. But though a soldier by
birth and education, the Emperor is Il close
observer of the course of politics, and pos
terity will discover, perhaps, that the bril-
liant galaxy OF men who surround and sup
port his throne are not altogether entitled
to the honor of having initiated events which
are sometimes laid to their exclusive credit.
His Majesty, like the founder of his royal
dynasty, placed the crown Of Prussia upon
his own head, and is still firm believer in
the doctrine Of the divine right of Kings,
though the extended power he has yielded
to Parliament proves that his Interpretation
of the maxim ga Dec rcr, a rege Ter " diff
ters materially from that put upon it by the
Stuarts. Even among Kings themselves the
belief is becoming rarer that they receive
the patent of their commission direct from
Heaven. But the stea,lfaSt religious con-
victions of the Emperor William save him
from the danger of being claSsed with this
apostate few, and is proof that piety and
politics may have a more intimate connec-
ton than is generally supposed. Indeed, it
is Il prominent merit of this aged monarch,
and one which will, perhaps, procure him
some distinguishing appeliation from pos
terity, that in an age when hationalSm was
rampant, and when most of his cultured
subjects, like stray bewildered sheep, had
wandered very widely from the fold he
himself still chung with touching devotion
to the simple faith of his foretlthcrs

THE EMPEROR As \ SOLDIER.

OF all English sovereigns King Henry V.
was probably most popular, because he had
subtlued France and BATTERED the military
instincts of his countrymen, and for the very
same reasons the Emperor William is the
idol of his people. Before all things he is a
soldier. His army never goes forth to fight
but he places himself at its head, and the
spectacle of so old Il man enduring all the
tolls and har,lShipS Of the tented field proba-
bly, does more than anything else TO inspire
his hclmeted legions with that courage and
endurance which enable them to conquer
wherever they so-which nerved them in
the teeth of Il deadly iron hail to pour tri-
umphantly into the reloubtS of Dupplc, to
strew the ground with the flower of Aus
trian manhood ut Sadowa, and to scatter to
the winds the ftircst chivalry of France on

The fire originated in their room, which was

The father of one of the girls, who had been
awakened by the flames, called to them and
tried to break the door in. He then went to

her out. 1t is feared he is fatally burned. The

For the Times,
Letter From Jonesville.

Nh. EDITOR 81 see other Townships are
giving some news items TO the Times, but
none has appeared Of late from Jonesvile
so l will give you few items in my unbrokcn
manner. Crop prospects are very fattering up
to date. Cotton has been we'll worked aud is
looking we'll Wheat good and most all cut
Oats<better than one would expect from the fact
that we have had u very dry spring, barely rain
enough for corn and cotton, but that was all the
better, for wet Spring with the heavy crop
put in, the grass would have taken us.
We have q good school in Jonesville now,
mostly on the female order, as our teacher is a
female and one we'll qualified for that important
position, Miss Leila Bailey. This is her first year
with us and VIC hope to keep her another year,
but we fear she will give herself away and we
will lose her valuable services.
Several of we Jonesvill, folks went on an ex-
uursOn yesterday to Herdersonville, n. c., which
was very enjoyable indeed. The good cold wa.
ter; the mountain scenery and the kind recep ption
by the good people Of Hendersonville, made the
day pleasant, profitable and happy one. All
returned safe and sound, except two or three
unfortunate cows that remained on the railroad
track just leetle too long.
We hear you are having Court Mt Union, but
we are just too busy to attend. Hope the Law
yers may oil be successful and gain all their
cases.
l will not soy much abouLthe working Of the
stock law at present, from the fact that Jones'
vile is not very healthy place to discuss the
law, unless you oppose it but another year may
work q change in the minds Of many Of its op-
ponents.
Perhaps my communication may draw out
others. So will close and watch the columns
of the Times. II,
