JoyfuI Impulses.

EXuberant animal spirits, says the London
Telegraph, have seldom proved so baneful a
gift to their possessor as in the case of a
young Australian artisan Of German *
traction, whose patriotic and loyal interest in
the marriage Of the heir ~presumptive to the
German throne propted him to travel all the
way from Sidney to Berlin in order to take
part in the popular rejoicings with which
that suspicious event was celebrated last
month. This light-hearted enthusiast was
joyfully promenading Linden avenue on the
Friday afternoon before the wedding, in
specting with lively interest the preparations
for Princess Vitorria's state entry into the
capital, when suddenly he espied q German
maiden Of extraordinary beauty tripping to
wards him with elfin grace. In the fullnes
OF his heart he clasped this type Of Teutonic
loVliness to his manly bosom, and imprinted
9 patriot kiss upon her lips. The blusbing
maiden instantly gave him in charge, and
he was led away to the M~olkenmarkt, where,
Intercepted as to his motive for embracing a
daughter Of the city without the least provo
cation, he pleaded that This joyful impulses
had outstept his discretion, and irrepressibly
stimulated him to salute IN incorporate ideal
Of German maidenhood." This extenuating
allegation, which might have melted q heart
OF stone, produced no visible effect upon the
Prussian polizel-lieutenant, who forthwith
sent the youthful Australian to prison forfve
days. When he was released, al the festiyi-
ties he had travelled twelve thousand miles to
participate in were over and done with.

that the head seldom knows Of what is pass
ing on beneath him. The system was wisely
q lministered by the late car, but his wisdom
could not undo the abuses which centuries
had indurated it with. It was a result of Pc
culiar conditions, which are now almost
gone and must soon crumble into Nihilism,
(nothing). Whether from out Of the ruins
the Romanofffs will build another political
fabric or remain buried under it, 10 one can
guess. But that the day Of ruin is not far
off every one believes.

THE RIVER PR S

mh;t ! took ito name from the Eleven Stars,
uh;ch-together with three stars, a virgin
and q neasant-still occupy the four depart
ments Of the city escutcheon.
The Star guard has passed away, but happy
are the living mortals who, on the Monday
of Rose. enjoy the right Of resurrecting the
tradition and DOMINIC the uniforms Of those
terrible lansouenets- terrible especially to the
fair sex.
From Saturday evening until the dawn Of
sbrove Tuesday they are allowed to do al
most whatever they please. Their most en-
viahle privilege is that Of kissing every young
and pretty lady they meet On their way.
Husbands and fathers, brothers and lovers
may form a rampant with their bodies in vain
to protect the besieged fair ones; it is no use.
Az soon as Marshal Tunn yum Dux, from the
height of,his battle steed, has discovered a
fortress of this kind bidding defiance to his
brave followers, he orders a charge, and the
inyincible Stars rush to the assault with an
intrepidity worthy Of heroic ages. Against
force therei is no possible resistance, and after
the most comical Of struggles, when the mas
culine defenders have been put to flight in
the midst Of uproarious laughter the fair ones
themselves are assaulted with mitrailleuse
yol.eys of flowers, and finally taken prisoners.
This captivity, at once joyous and terrible,
lasts until each captor has taken himself a
delightful ransom from the lips Of the unfor-
tunate victims. r.
