WHO rs EMPEROR OF CHINA.

The proverbial uneasiness with
which the head lies that is invested
with crown is strikingly exemplifed
in the case of the monarch of the Ce-
lestial land. But short time ago it
was darkly rumored that he had two
pupils to each of his eyes, and now
alas for the mutability of earthly
things lit was discovered that he is
not himself Who is he, or whence he
came, or how he chances to be some
thing different from what he supposes,
and what everybody else believed him,
is not explained. All that can be
CLEANED is that Chinese paper boldly
details how in his early youth he was
changed for the rightful heir by the old
ladies of the Court, and made Emperor
by them because he was likely to be-
come a mere instrument in their de-
signing hands The Empire which
announces this, believes he will re-
main potentate for various reasons,
unless the people who intrigued at
first think fit to do so again, in which
case his Majesty may become a nom
entity with considerable swiftness.
Meanwhile, it is melancholy to reflect
how deep must be the bewilderment
of the monarch's mind some day,
when he finds he is not the parsonage
he thought he was, but somebody else.
Little wonder is there for the fact that
the gentleman who first started the
discussion in the Chinese newspapers
has since committed suicide. Either
his bewilderment or his fears proved
too much for him.

CURIOUS PROSECUTIONS.

Some curious prosecutions are re-
ported from the Courts in various parts
of Germany. A wealthy and respected
shoemaker of Lautenburg, in West
Prussia, suspecting servant girl of
stealing twenty-five dollars, and find
ing that she would not admit it, hit
upon the curious device of putting
steaming hot egg under each Of her
armpits and tying her arms over them
until the torture made her confess the
theft. Then he had her arrested. In
the prison the girl begged for some
thing to relieve the pain of the burns,
and in that way the method by which
her confession had been extorted was
revealed. The shoemaker was prose-
cuted and sentenced to two years. i'm
prisonment. He appealed, and the
appellate Court made his sentence
three years In Sinzig there was q
case analogous to that of Caleb Cush-
ing, who, in Washington, applied to
the Courts for relief against the bark
ing of a dog that in the night dis
turbed his studies. In this case it
was a young heifer that beloved at
night when hungry, and it seems to
have been hungry very often. A gen.
tleman in the neighborhood made COM
plant, and the Court adjudged the
owner of the animal to be in fault, and
sentenced him to pay fine and stop
the believing.

PROFITS OF STRONG MEN-Hanlan
could not be induced to row few
miles with Courtney for anything less
than a 1000 purse, declining an offer
of S.. OO0 Rowell, for his former
walk in New York City, put $4,000
in his pocket, and got $4,000 as the
winner of the last race at Gilmore's
Garden. Now comes story across
the water that Archer, the successful
English jockey, has accepted a re-
tainer of $4,000 to ride as first jockey
for the Duke of Westminster next
year, while others who have claims
on him will make up the sum to $40,
600. Even if this story be incorrect,
and Archer rcnews his engagements
with Lord Falmouth, his retaining
fee alone will be a salary that SUI
preme Court Judge might envy, be-
sides all the regular fees for ridings
and winnings that he will earn through
the year. Athletic accomplishments
pay well.

NEVADA JUsTICE.-A man was az
raigned before Justice Moses charged
with an assault. When asked where
he worked, he said he was miner in
the North Bonanza. Here the Court,
according to the officers, leaned over
his desk and called the defendant up
to whisper in his ear.
''How wide is the ledge they struck
last week 2"
"Thirty-six feet, your Honor, and
assays So" was the reply.
Il think the evidence is insufficient
to warrant conviction" continued
the Court aloud and Strengthening.
'The case is dismissed, and the costs
taxed to the complaining witness.
Justice Moses Was seen down town
a few minutes later giving an order
for 200 shares of North Bonanza with
out limit.

THE idea prevails with the average
teacher that if he is able to answer
fair ratio of the questions proposed by
the County Superintendent, he is able
to discharge all the duties of the teacher
This is a great mistake-such teachers
are only school keepers. The ability
to teach does not depend on actual
knowledge, or even communicating
that knowledge to others !; but in devel-
oping all the pupils faculties-mental,
moral and physical-training him to
think for himself, and cultivating in
him a love for study, so that he will
go on to educate himself long after he
has left school and the living teacher.
No one can do this without a love for
the work, and an earnest desire and
determination to be found worthy of
the high vocation of teacher:

POLITICAL MACHINE AXIOMS.-A
political party needs machine in the
sense that it needs a working organiza-
ton.
The machine in this case exists for
the good of the party.
The machine in this sense is an in
strument of the party-an essential
instrument, perhaps, but still an instru-
ment
There is no vitality in political
machine.
The strength of political machine
is the strength of the party behind it.
The object of political machine is
to do the work required of it by the
party.
When a political machine tries to
control party the order of nature is
reversed-the tail tries to wag the dog.
This makes the dog laugh.
When the engineer of political
machine-whethe the engineer is
United States Senator or Presiden-
tial candidate-runs this instrument of
party counter to the Judgment of the
party, he lies awake nights thinking
what the party will do about it
1t is supposeable that in certain cir
cumstances political machine may be
more intelligent than public opinion,
but in the United States public opinion
is the court of last resort, and possesses
the power to enforce its DEGREES.
A party which is worse than its
machine is an untrustworthy party.
A party which is better than its
machine cannot be controlled by its
machine
When political machine ceases to
be responsible to public opinion it is
time to change the engineers, for if it
is better than public opinion it will be
inefficient, while if it is worse public
opinion will not tolerate it.

A WARNING TO JURIEs-Among the
reasons assigned in the case of Uhl
vs.. Sanner for use-before the Su-
preme Court-for taking this case up
from the Court of Common Pleas of
Somerset county, is the following: In
the lower court the jnry got tired of
deliberating, and one juror (for de-
fendanD suggested a plan which was
adopted. Twenty-four tickets were
made, twelve bearing the words ''for
plaintiff" and twelve ''for defendant" "
These were placed in hat, shaken up,
and then each of the twelve men drew
a ticket. Five of the drawn tickets
were for plaintiff and seven for defend
ant, and the jury found for the latter.
Plaintiff claims that this was. not a
verdict found through deliberation,
but by sort of lottery, and that, as
such, was a good reason for appealing
to higher tribunal

4 DARING EAGLE.

The Duluth (Minn.) Tribune of the
10th says: We are in receipt of a
letter from c. Wieland, Esq, Auditor
Of Lake county, dated the 3rd inst,
of which the following is the substance:
Yesterday afternoon, while August
Burr, aged seven years, was playing
with his sisters-one five years old
and the other three and a half-near
by his fathers house, an enormous
eagle pounced down upon them, throw
ing the two girls to the ground. 1t
Immediately attacked the younger one,
grasping one of the child's arms with
the claws of one foot, while the claws
of the other foot were deeply buried in
the child's face; and it attempted to
carry the child off, but was prevented
by its struggles. Little August, see
ing that he could do nothing with his
own hands to help his sister, ran
quickly into the house, got the butcher
knife and came out and whacked away
at the eagles legs, cutting one of them
severely near the foot, whereupon the
savage bird let 60 of the little girl and
attacked the boy, knocking him over,
tearing his pants and giving him some
severe scratches. In the meantime,
the screams of the children brought
out their mother, whereupon the eagle
flew off to the barn, on which he sat
and looked as though he would like to
renew the contest, should favorable
opportunity offer itself, but he stayed
there little too long for his own good,
as Joe Better, a neighbor, was called,
who took down his gun and shot this
great "emblem of American liberty"
and his eagleship, when killed, was
found to measure seven feet from wing
tip to wing-tip. The little girl who
had this remarkable encounter is very
badly scratched, but not seriously hurt.

STORIES OF PRINCE BISMARCK
Two good stories are told of Prince
Bismarck in connection with his recent
visit to Vienna. During a lively
luncheon party at the Palace on the
Ball Platz, the name of Gambetta
cropped up in the course of the con-
versation, and one of Count Andrassy's
guests expressed his surprise that the
eX-Dictator of France should have
accepted the diploma of L. L. d. from
the University of Athens, seeing that
he had previously been created a
doctor of laws by the Paris University.
Eyes, that is indeed odd of him." re-
marked the Prince; "it is just as
if he had got down from horseback in
order to mount the back of jackass." !"
Upon another occasion Prince Bis
marck was introduced to a lady eele-
brated in Viennes society for her keen
wit and quickness of repartee, who, to
his conventional question of GLOW do
you do, madam ?" smilingly replied,
''Very badly, Prince; you cannot, L
feel sure, imagine what a curious
woman must suffer when she has the
honor of being in Prince Bismarck's
society without daring to ask him
what he has really come to do in
Vienna" Indeed, l would not for
the world see you in pain" rejoined
the Chancellor, with a laugh, $50 l
will tell you all about it. | came to
Vienna to search with my friend An
drassy for the magnetic needle which
shall be gifted with power to attract to
US all the pacific elements in Europe
a needle magnetized by peace" "Re-
ally'' answered Countess k, "but
the needle, you know, always points
to the north ~ "Just So" said the
Prince, "mais, Madame, s'est juste lie
fin mot de Phistoire !"

COUNTY TAXATION.

Judge Pearson, of Harrisburg, filed
three opinions last Wednesday week,
which decide the question in favor of the
Commonwealth raised by the appeals
taken by the counties of Erie, Clinton,
Crawford, Jefferson, Luzerne, Brad
ford, Snyder, Tioga, Columbia, North
umberland, Indiana, Butler and Mercer
from the amounts settled against them
by the State Treasurer and Auditor
General under the act of 1911 for
taxes due the State on personal prop
erty. The Judge decides that the ac
ton of the Board of Revenue Com
missioners could be corrected only by
an appeal taken under the act of 1878;
that is the specific statutory remedy
and offers the only redress which coun-
ties can obtain, and that the counties
interested having failed to avail them
selves of it they cannot legally claim
a credit settlement from the State.
The Judge also decides that where
counties have made payment of the
amount assessed against them by the
Revenue Commissioners they are vol
untary payments, and the counties are
estopped from recovering them back
from the State The importance of
these cases will probably require them
to be taken to the Supreme Court, be-
cause the Revenue Board may not sit
again until 1882. In case Judge Pear
sons decision should be sustained the
counties affected would receive no
abatement of their personal tax in the
intervening years. The amount in
volved in the present cases is about
$4,000. The counsel for the counties
will take out writs of error in all the
cases, which will probably be heard
by the Supreme Court at the January
term.
