III the palace Of a small German capital
German duchess, distinguished for hel
good sense and kindness of heart, was
celebrating her birthday.
The court congratulations we're over, and
the lady had retired from the scene of fes-
tlVity to the scclusion Of her private room.
Presently she heard light footsteps com.
ing up the stairs.
"Ah, she said, "there are my two lit.
tie srandsons coming to congratulate
Ihe rosy laus OF tea or eleven years of
age came IN, one named Albert and the
other Earnest. They affectionately greeted
the duchess, who gave them the customary
present of ten louis d'or (about forty eight
dollars) and related to them the following
suggestive anecdote:
'lhere once lived an emperor in Rome
who used to say that no one should 20
away sorrowful from an interview with a
Prince. lie was always doing good and
caring for his people, and when, one even
ing at supper, he remembered that he had
not done an act of kindness to any one dur
ing the day, he exclaimed, with regret and
sorrow, My friends, have lost a dav. ,
My children, take this emperor for your
model, and live in princey way, like
him.
The boys went down the stairs delight
ed. AT the palace gate they met poor
woman, wrinklcd and old, and bowed down
with trouble.
"Ah, my good young gentlemen, " said
sne, 'bestow trite- on an agod creature.
Sly cottage ~ going TO be sold for debt and
shall not have anywhere to lay my head.
My goat, the only means Of support / had,
has been seized, pity all old woman, and be
charitable"
Earnest assured her that he had no
change, and SO passed on. But Albeit Easi-
tated. He thought a moment of her pitia-
Dle situation, was touched by her pleading
looks, and tears came to his eyes. The
story of the Roman emperor came into his
mind. He took flom his purse the whole
of the ten louis dor and gave them to the
woman. Turning away with a heart light
and satisfied, he lett the old woman weep
ing for joy.

BERLIN LETTER.
From our regular Correspondent }

BERLIN, June 8, 1880
1t may with truth be SAID of all the great
llohcnzolerns who have played such con
splcuous parts in modern history that no
childish appeal to their sympathies or gener-
osity ever failed to obtain prompt and benevo-
lent recognition. The most recent exempllfi-
cation Of this amiable characteristic of a war.
ror race is afforded by "A kindly action of the
German Crown Prince One Paul Brandt, a
fatherless lad only nine years old, having ex-
hibited remarkable capacity for music, was
taken some months ago into Romarowski's
Victoria Institute" there to be gratultousy
instructed in tone-art generally, and in violin
playing particularly, On the 22d of March
this courageous little fellow addressed birth.

in which he embodied a petition for new
fiddle, upon the pertinent ground that his own
violin "scraped so awfuly" that he could bear
young Brandt had addressed his letter to Ills
Royal llighneSs" instead of to HIS Imperial
Majesty" the petition came to the Crown
Princes hands, and the future German En-
peror, upon perusing 1t, forthwith directed his
Court Marshal to make inquiries at the Vic
torla Institute respecting the youthful appli-
cant and his lawfully scraping" instrument
The truth of little Pauls allegations having
been fully established by Count Enlenburg's
investigations, the Crown Prince proceeded to
purchase good, sound violin, which he de-
spatched to the institute on Whit Sunday last
as "Pfnstgeschenk" for Paul Brandt. 1t is
by such tender deeds as this that princes most
surely win their way to the hearts of their
people.

ference, the Rev. George J. Barrett, WAS attend
ing camp meeting held by the feet-washing
Baptists, and stood in the rustic preaching stand
looking down on the scene while the brethren
and sisters gathered at the front benches and
stripped off shoes and stockings and the preach
er who conducted the services went around the
circle with tin basin and towel and washed the
feet presented, till all were served. When the
ceremony was over the preacher looked up to the

Jere Black, one of the most prominent dem.

1873 which completely vindicates Gen. Garfield
from any wrong regarding the Credit Moblier

Garfield swore before the Poland committee
that lac has never owned dollars worth OF
Credit Mobilier stock, had never agreed to
take any, and had never received a dollar as
dividends or otherwise In connection with
such stock. But when Cakes Ames's little
memorandum book showed that he had lied,
