When Collins went home to dinner Mon-

the Monday washing still left in the tubs in
the summer kitchen. Hurrying through the
back yard he sa " mis- wife braced against the

How Bismarck Once Resigned.

1t will be remembered that about the end
of March, 1877, report was current that
Prince Bismarck had resigned, and that his
resignation had been accepted by the EN-
peror William. In M .Hausen's "Coulisses de
la Diplomatic the following account is Civ
en- of the event: The Emperor William spent
the evening orThursday, the 9th of March,
in the house of Prince Anton Radziwill, who
is distantly related to the royal family, and
there met the Count N, who also is an init.
mate friend of the Radziwill family. swell,
Count" said the Emperor, "are you going to
dine off the Easter lamb with Prince Ferdi-
nand on Easter Sunday?" Certainly, your
Majesty" replied the Count, Unless Herr
Falk confscates the lamb" ain that case,
replied the Emperor, "you need not be un-
der any apprehension for your dinner 81
am, however, not quite certain" replied the
Count; ''for how can your subjects feel when
even her Majesty the Empress has to hide
her charitable acts to avoid being annoyed2''
"How so, Count?" asked the Emperor.
"Why, Sire" replied the Count, ''the EN-.
press gave officially 200 marks about f1O)
TO the Ursuline nuns who had been expelled
from Berlin; but secertly her Majesty sent
1000 marks" Encouraged by the Emperor
Count n. cited great number of other pet
ty, vexatious acts of Herr Falk, acting ac-
ccrding to the orders of Prince Bismarck
The Emperor, evidently much annoyed, left
early and the next day he sent for Prince
Bismarck, who pleaded ill-health. A SECOND
messenger ordered the Prince Immediately t.
appear at the castle, unless he were so i'll a
to have to keep his bed, in which case thu
Emperor would call upon him. Prince Bis

Henry Clay's Wager.

In 1914, when the peace commission, com
posed of Henry Clay, John Quincy Adams,
James A. Bayard, and Albert Gallatin on the
part of the United States and Lord Gambler
and Mr.. Goulbourn on the part Of Great
Britain, were endeavOring to come to an un-
derstanding on the important questions Of
the navigation of the Mississippi river and
the fishery privileges, the British plenipo-
tentiaries sought to alarm the Americans by
informing them of the invincible army which
was moving on New Orleans, supported by a
powerful feet They dwelt en- the gallantry
and daring of Packenham, laid much stress
upon the superb character of his troops,
which they 'truthfully declared were the
flower Of the British army, veterans of the
victorious Peninsular campaign, and Lord
Gambler gleefully remarked: "New Orleans
will soon be in our possession, and the free
navigation of the Mississippi assured to us"
This greatly nettled Mr. Clay, who had de-
termined never to concede the point as to the
great river, which, with prophetic eye, he
saw must one day become the grandest COM
mercial highway on the GLOBE and so, with
the instinct of the true Kentuckian, he at
once offered to wager Lord Gambler that the
British army would never capture New Or
leans. and that Packenham would be dis
astrously defeated. For" said he, 81 am
informed that General Andrew Jackson,
from Tennessee, has gone to New Orleans,
and l have the most implicit faith in his
ability to cope with your army" Lord Gam
bier joyfully accepted the wager, which he
fixed at 100 guineas. When the news of the
route of the British army at Chalmette and
of the death of Packenham was received in
Europe, Lord Gambler approached Mr.. Clay
at grand ball-given, we believe, in honor
of the success of the negotiations at Client
and handing him the lOOguiness, said: "Mr
Clay, believe there are three kinds of be-
ings under the special care and protection of
divine Providence-lun atics, drunkards and
the American people"

A DREAM OF LONG AGO.
BIZ AMANDA NJ. BRIGGS

Soft sleeps the earth In Nights embrace,
The river murmers low,
While softly Fancy's fingers trace
The scenes of long ago;
Somehow, In Silly nights like this,
That parting in the lane
Comes back in all its dreary bliss
And all its bitter pain.
How we'll can recall the scene.
The haunting picture fair,
The fitting shade, the silvery sheen,
Athwart Neli's golden hairi
Just how the lazy river swept
Down past the rained mill,
And how the moonbeams softly slept
Upon the distant hill.
The starlit fields. the dewy grass,
The meadow lark's sweet song;
The purple hills. the narrow pass,
The river winding long;
The ring-dove calling to his mate,
Adown the dusky lane;
The cooling notes with sadness freight
The night birds low refrain.
could not speak the word Farewell"
OH Why had we to partl
And in that sweetest starlit dell,
To sever heart from heart.
We vowed beside the solemn stream
Our LOT should never die.
Though sun and moon should cease to beam,
Add earth forssken lie.
But when the years crept on spsce,
Aud /, too tired 10 roam,
Came wandering TO the dear old place
Back to the dear old home
Why did they sadly lead me to
The City Of the Dosdl
Whose grave was this where daisies grew.
Whose name was Ii read7
All. WELT the sunny locks so fair,
Time can not silver now,
Nor leave such marks OF whitening care
As shadow my worn brow.
And all the years have left 10 me
Is q tress of golden hair.
A darkened life, memory,
Aud hope of heaven so fair.
