MINISTER JOHN 4. KAssoN has no. a
high opinion of diplomatic life, and
gives not one, but many reasons for his
dislike. There is nothing in the future
Of the service to tempt ambition, there
are no pecunlary inducements, continued

from ones own country. The Austrian

THE population Of the nineteen Massa-
chusetts cities ranges from soS,235, the
population or Boston, to 1906, the pop
ulation Of Fitchburg. Two towns, Pitts
field with 1867 Inhabitants, and Brock
ton with 13,6OS, are larger than Fitch
burg,and ten other towns have population
enough to entitle them to apply for city
charters if they wished to. There is,
however, nc movement II that direction

business because Of lis connections with
slave labor. His comfortable income. OF
course went with the business, andMrs.
Mott opened u school and maintained
their family of four young children until
Mr.. Mott established himself in other
employment, in which he finally &C.
CURED a competence. OF their children
only one, Mrs. Edward Hopper, has died.

"WHEN every peasant can have, rs Of
ten as he pleases, chicken for dinner
says Mr.. Joseph Cock, twill not both the
pauper and the millionaire be improved
off the face of the earth9 So thinks So
cialism; and, if God thinks so, the result
Will be accomplished" One of the best
things about Mr.. Cook is the kind and
familiar way IN which he speaks of his
Maker, whose identity he sometimes ap.
pears to be in danger of confounding with
his own. Perhaps he will need to initiate
the plan of the younger Mr.. Daniel Lord,
OF New York, of whom it is said that he
writes "Jr." after his name to distinguish
himself from the Lo.d Almighty.
The Princess Augusta Victoria, the
bride of the German Emperor's grandson
and the future Empress of Germany, is
not wealthy, having a dover much small
er than many amerchant's daughter. But
she is an excellent young woman, clever
and sensible. Spiritually, it is said, she
was nourlshed on rationalism of the
kind which the Crown Princess inherited
from her father. Her charitable quail
ties, the housewife grace with which she
cuts bread and butter for the little boys
and girls of Potsdam and Cha1lottenburg,
her engaging name, and her soft Teu-
tonic cast of beauty, will endear her to
her people.
