.Anecdote of Emperor William,

A letter from Berlin, Germany, speak
ing of the celebration of Emperor VIII
liam's eighty-fifth birthday, says: One
hears at such time as this manyinter-
esting anecdotes about his majesty, and
I was much pleased with one told by an
American friend to-day, who was at Ems
few weeks since, at the same time the
emperor was there to drink the waters.
During his stay at the fashionable water
ng-place, he paid visit to large or
phan asylum and school that was under
government patronage. Of course the
presence of SO distinguished a person.
age, as might be expected, created quite
a sensation in the establishment. After
listening with much interest to the
recitations of several of the classes, his
majesty called to him bright, faxen-.
haired little girl of five or six years of
age, and, lifting her into his lap, said to
her: "Now, my little fraulein, let me see
how well you have been taught. To
what kingdom does this belong?" and,
taking out of his pocket an orange, held
it up to her. The little girl hesitated a
moment, and, looking timidly up in the
emperor's face, replied: ITO the vegeta-
table kingdom.
Every good, and now to what king
dom does this belongp" and he drew out
his pocket gold piece, and placed it on
the orange. Again the little girl hesitat-
ed but soon replied: ITO the mineral
kingdom
'Better and BETTER" said the emperor.
"Now, look at me and say to what
kingdom I belong"
AT this question there was an omin-
GUS silence among the teachers and Wis
itors, who were listening with much in
terest to the royal catechism. Could she
make any other reply than: ITO the ami
NAL kingdomP' The little one hesitated
as if perplexed as to what answer she
should give. Was the emperor an ami
malp Her eyes soughtthose Of her teach
ers and her schoolmates. Then she
looked up into the eyes Of the aged em-
peror, and with a haf-startled, frighten-
ed look--as if she was evading the ques-
tion--replied; ITO the kingdom Of heav-
en-" The unexpected answer drew tears
from the emperor. Eyes, yes, my little
fraulein, I trust I do belongto Gods
kingdom, and you think it is time I was
there. now, do you notp And the day is
not far distant"

Perry Belmont, who ross-examined
Blaine, is very young man, having
passed his thirtieth birthday only last
December. He is the elder of August
Belmont's two sons. His brother August
was married some months ago. Perry is
still unmarried, and his friends says he
is rapidly becoming confirmed old
bachelor. He IS regarded as young
man of considerable intellectually. He
has always been hard student, and the
time that most young men of his class
gave to the designations of fashionable life
he has largely devoted to books, He is a
lawyer by profession, and, considering
his youth, his legal attainments are said
to be very creditable. He has always
had taste for politics, and has tontiibu
uted several articles on public Questions
to periodicals like the Internatl6asu5 Re-
Uiet0. He was elected to Congress, as
Democrat, by two thousand majority
from the First District, which includes
the counties of Suffolk, Richmond and
Queens. He graduated from Harvard
College in 1872, was admitted to the bar
in 1876, and has since been engaged in the
practice of his profession. His mother
was daughter OF Matthew Calbraith
Perry, who opened the Chinese ports.

Vain, ola Railroad Train.

Few have any conception ofthe money
value Of an express-train. The hand
some locomotive aud elegant cars are
admired as the train comes putting into
the depot. but when seen from the point
of view furnished by the Hartford CoRr-
ant, the spectator Is astonished at the
responsibility placed in the hands of
engineer, fireman, conductor and brake
men:
A railroad official, the other day, gave
some interesting figures as to the value
of the midday express from New York,
which was fair representative of the
fast express-trains on the Consolidated
road.
There was an engine, tender, and
eight cars. The engine and tender,
which are always considered together,
were valued at $1,000. the baggage car
$1,000 the postal car $4,000, ths spok-
ing car 5000 the two ordinary passen-
Ger cars $4,000 each, and the three pal;
ace cars $4,000 each; total $S3,00A
This is a low, rather than an excessive
estimate for one of the fast expresses, as
some of them, witt more cars, are worth
100000 at least.
The palace cars, put down at $15, 900,
are, in many cases, worth an average of
$4,000. These cars came into use soon
after the sleeping coaches, the first be-
ing used in 1868. In some instances
these cars have cost as high as $25, 900
and $30,000, where the interior work.
manshipw was very elaborate.
From the figures given, it will be seen
that comfortable dwelling may be built
for the cost of an ordinary passenger
car, and that the money expended for
palace coach would erect very hand
some brick or brown stone front resi-
dence.
1t is an interesting reflection that the
safety of one of those costly trains, to
say nothing of the passengers, devolves
almost wholly upon one man-the en-.
gineer.
There are other train men, the con-
ductor, baggagemaster, fireman and
three or four brakemen, but the hand
upon the lever and the brain directing
| it have an immense responsibility.

Miss Miles Two Lovers.

Miss Millie Pixton has long been
known as the most beautiful girl inrural
Arkansas. Among the numerous ad-
mirers who visited Miss Pixton and en-
tered suit in the court of sentiment for
her hand were two young men of unusu-
al promise, Dick Gregg and Hank Ok
patch. These young men ''loved with
love that was more than love-" They
were stuck. One night, while both of
these young men were pleading with
the beautiful girl, she said: Gentlemen,
Ilove both of you. 1t is strange that
woman can love two men just the same,
but do, all the same. Now, 1 want to
do the fair thing by both of you. There
amt nothing diminutive about me-
There amt no molecules in my compost

of principle. know that it is difficult
matter to settle this affair satisfactorily
therefore must adopt some plan. The
man who, two weeks from to-day, will
perform in my presence the most won
derful feat shall claim me. Go away
and practice.
The young men arose and silently de-
parted. They retired from society. The
neighbors knew that each man was pre-
pairing himself for the exhibition, and
the entire neighborhood became excited
over the approaching festivities. When
the day arrived the Pixton mansion was
crowded. The exhibition was to take
place in the yard, where seats for the
audience were arranged. Dick, dressed
in tight-fitting suit, was the first an
nounced. Taking position he brayed
and by muscular movement worked
his ears. 1t was evident that he intend
ed playing the part of the mule. Hank
then took position. He did not attempt
to work his ears. 1t was evident that
the audience was becoming disgusted.
One of Hanks friends entered the arena
to whisper something to the actor
Hank squealed, hauled off and kicked
the man in the face. The audienceyelled
with enthusiasm. The victory was de-
cided The girl was handed to Hank.
The happy pair arrived in Little Rock

PRESIDENT ARTHUR'S
MESSAGE.

President Arthur's message which
was printed in Mondays Union, is a
straightforward and business like pa
per, and shows vigorous practical
grasp of the varied interests of the
government. Its length renders it
sore trial to all who have to do with
putting it before the public, but it
must be remembered that the United
States covers a good deal of ground
and that even the briefest reference
to all the matters properly claiming
attention in the Presidents annual
message necessitates a long document.
But as whole the message delivered
Monday was one of the best state
papers ever presented to Congress.
The President talks like statesman,
and his utterances are entirely above
the level of partisanship. 1t is diff
cult to see how any one can object
to his position on the great questions
/ which he discusses, and his frank
ness in dealing with such matters as
the river and harbor appropriations,
the Star route trials, civil service re-
form and political assessments, is
sure to increase the public respect
for him.
The Presidents treatment of the
postal question is sound and wise, and
he urges the adoption of two cent do
nestle letter postage on precisely the
same grounds which have been sug-
gested in our columns as forming the
reason for the reduction. Two cent
: letter postageis what the people want,
; and that is the simplest and most di-
rect way Of reaching postal reform.
Nothing else will take its place, and
: now let Congress 60 ahead and do as
people and President demand and

THE MARRIAGE RELATION.

1t must have occurred to some
who heard Rev. Mr.. Dixie last Sab
bath evening, that the divorce reform
league began it's work of reform at
the wrong end. If men were taught
in early life not to make brutes of
themselves by indulging every pas
sion, or not to acquire habits of in
temperance which make them worse
than the brutes, there would be less
occasion for the separation of hus-
band and wife. Following out the
conclusions of the divorce reform
league wife must be tied to her
drunken and brutal husband, if he be
chaste, until as last, as is frequently
the case, in his diabolical frenzy he
butchers her in cold blood, or per-
haps kills her as surely of a broken
heart; then she gets a divorce, but
cannot have one till then. In Bible
times there was but one cause for di.
vorce, but they did not then have
whiskey that made fiends incarnatt
of men.
The sensible way to reform tn,
marriage state is to teach those liable
to enter it the duties and response
bilities involved in it. The assum
ing of these relations in the thought
less manner all too common, or sim
ply as matter of convenience, ais,
too common, is a crime Neverthe
less we believe there are lots of me-
and women living as husbands an
wives who should be separated-fo
their own good and perhaps that 0
their posterity.-Caledonian
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1882-12-11

Secretary Folger does not endorse
the recommendation of the message
to abolish the tax ON tobacco and
fermented liquors. ''They are in the
main,' he says, "the means of indul-
gence, and should come before nee
essaries as subjects of taxation. :"
The Secretary of the Treasury recon-
mends a reduction in the tax on sug-
ar, which is "a necessary of life for
all classes in this country" the whole
tax on which is paid by the consumer.
The Secretary estimates that the duty
is equal to 21A cents per Id. That
the Secretary's position is the correct
one and ought to preAail needs no
argument.
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1882-12-11

Secretary Folger's report is the
most important department report
presented to Congress, inasmuch as
he deals with matters which are of
vital interest to the business of the
whole country. The details are main
ly covered by the Presidents mes
sage, but the Secretary discusses at
more leugth than the President the
management of the public funds and
especially the problem of how to pre-
vent the accumulation of a large sur
plus in the treasury. In the first
place he would abolish all internal
revenue taxation excepting the taxes
upon liquors and tobacco, which are
legitimate sources of revenue and so
regarded in all countries. AS it is
necessary to reduce the revenue some
100000. 900 more than would result
from the abolition of the internal
taxes he suggests that substantial
reduction of the tariff on sugar might
be made, and that part of the tariff
burden on wool. iron and steel might
also he removed. On the coarsel
grades of Gotten goods he thinks thai
American manufacturers can cOmpett
with the rest of the world wlthou
protection, and recommends tina
raw materials generally be admitted
free of duty. He would also reduce
the tariff. on silk goods These par
ticular reductions will not be palata
BILE, where certain industries ar
affected, but the substantial agree
ment among public men, that it
time to equalize the tariff and d
something to remove the burdens C
taxation and reduce the treasury Sill
plus ought to have its effect.
Congress could consent to drop pc
litical figuring out of the account an
address itself industriously to I'll
work of revision something wort
while might be accomplished. eve
though it should prove only exper
mental.
