A Very Cautious Man.

A singular incident occurred at the
German Imperial Deposit Bank in Der.

for over thirty years has lived abroad,
came there for the purpose Of deposit

(320, 900 marks), together with his tesla.
menary disposition of the same. After
having duly signed thenumerous blanks,
necessary on that occasion, and received
the proper receipt at the hands of the
cashier, what must have been the latter's
establishment at seeing the depositor de-
iberately tear that important letter in
shreads! "What in the name of good
ness are you doing?" he exclaimed.
'tDon't you know that it will take full
three Yeas before you canlegally expect
to obtain duplicate receipt" "Just
because do, have torn the original, "
was the reply. The gentleman in ques-
ton, be it known, has several times been
the happy possessor Of quite large for
tunes. which he has as often lost by bad
speculations and otherwise. In order
to guard this time against similar mis-
hap, he fastened to put the profits of
a lucrative literary enterprise into q
place safe beyond peradventure for at
least three years.

Americas Influence on Europe.

One of our English contemporaries
has recently enumerated many good
influences that foreign travel issupposed
to exert upon American manners and
life, and in the main the enumeration is
correct. Americans are almost as bad
as Englishmen, in imagining that their
own country Is all of the civilized world
that Is worth thinking about, although
they are rather quicker than Englishmen
to take any practical hints to the con-
trary. But the easiest method of ex-
planning to foreign readers the effect
upon the human mind OF change of scene
and society is that of comparison.
Many thousands Of intelligent, yet self
sufficient foreigners, come here every
year, and when they return to their
homes they are wiser and more modest
than when they came. They do not
carry back trunks full of American brio
a-brac, clothing and jewelry, nor can
the more inquisitive and less nice among
them discover American vices that can
equal those of which Fnrope is full, but
they learn of the existence of single
country many times as large as England
France or Germany, a country in which
man who walks all day with his eyes
shut cannot stumble over a soldier, and
perhaps not encounter pauper. They
can see ten million men, every one of
whom has a chance to attain to riches
and honor without any aid from infuen-
tial friends. They can see the hand
soonest women and brightest children in
the world. They can note well-flled
schools, each pupil in which, can, if
deserving, receive liberal education at
almost no cost. They can observe that
most rare of all earthly spectacles-a
nation rapidly paying its debts. They
can see much more, but what has
already been suggested is enough to give
Europeans fully as much to think about
as Americans usually get in Europe.

THE OLD POPES At ROME.

A story is told respecting very
worthy gentleman who is a devout Ro-
man Catholic, and who is also very
deaf. He was present at Fourth-of-
July dinner which was given in one of
the leading capitals of Europe. After
dinner, when the usual toasts have been
proposed and responded to, some one pro-
posed the sentiment, "To the old folks
at home" Up got the good old gentle
man in state of pleasurable excite
ment, and thanked the company for the
toast itself, and also for the kindly man.
ner in which it had been received, de-
clarirg that he looked upon the whole
affair as marked compliment to him.
self. "For," he said, 81 can but i'm
agine, gentlemen, that only your knowl-
edge of my religious views has led you
to propose, at this eminently national
meeting, toast to the I'D Popes Of
Rome" His deafness had led him to
misunderstood the words of the speaker,
but was not proof against the shouts Of
laughter wherewith this version of the
toast in question was greeted.

Il PLAYFUL FRENCH EDITOR

Villemessant once playeda cruel prac-
teal joke on one of his staff, gentle
man who was over head and heels in
debt. On the unfortunate individual in
question presenting himself at the head
quarters of the Figaro soon after - one
night as usual, he was Mortified to find
figuring at the top of the first column
the following announcements: "The
creditors of M. X. are hereby in
formed that he has decided upon paying
his debts, and that they may, therefore,
present themselves at the coisse of this
journal tomorrow at g They will form
line along the Rue Rossini, Rue
Chauchant, Rue Lafayette and Bou1e-
ward Haussman. A p1cquet of SER
geants-de-ville will keep order. The
Marseilles will not be allowed"
The impecunious debtor, aghast at
what he saw. asked for M. Villemessant,
but was told he had gone to Nice, leav-
ing express orders that the paragraph
was to go in, and it was not until the
moment of going to press that he was
informed that he had been made the
victim of salutary practical joke.

THE FUTURE OF ALASKA.

With comparatively mild climate
throughout the Archipelago. with most
valuable ship-building timber covering
the islands, with cedar that now sells
at $3.50 thousand feet in Sitka, with
splendid harbors, with inexhaustible
fisheries, with an abundance of coal, and
the probability that veins of copper,
lead, silver and gold await the prospect
or, with the possibility of raising suffi-
cient garden vegetables, and with wild
cranberry swamps on nearly every
island with all these advantages it is
surprising that an industrious, amphibi-
Gus, ship building, fishing colony from
New England, or other States, has not
established itself in Alaska. One draw
back is that Congfess has not yet organ
lied Territorial government, but when
this region shall have been opened up
to Individual enterprise and settlement,
it will then be discovered that Alaska is
a valuable possession.--Lieut. c. e. S.

Otis Field, we'll known to New York

open in warm weather, could not fail to
see the chess games, with their carved
men. One day when he was watching
the pieces with boyish interest, an old

him down stairs. He had observed the

to teach him the moves. The boy learn

The year 1713 was a great era in the
American naval annals. In that year

THE SPEAKER OF THE BRITISH
HOUSE OF COMMONS.

hOCC6 OH ONSs
Mr.. Brand has been Speaker of the
House of Commons now for nine years.
and the moral suggested every time he
takes the chair has lost something of its
sharp point. But it is undoubtedly a
notable thing, remarkable tribute to
the high tone of English political par
ties, that Mr.. Brands nomination to this
Office should have been received without
dissent, and that his conduct in the chair
should never be seriously called in ques-
ton. Mr.. Brand commenced his politi-
cal career as "whip" of the Liberal
party. There is nothing questionable
IN the business arrangements of whip,
at least in the present days. The earlier
official name of this Minister indicates
possibilities of transactions that would
not always bear light. AS Patronage
Secretary it was not only his business to
whip up men who were willing to vote
from conviction, but to buy up others
whose votes were purchasable. A whip
OF to-day has no patronage to dispense.
Still, there remains to him the duty of
arranging for good divisions, and he
must do what he can to bring them
about. He is, in the fullest acceptation
of the term, a partisan. Naturally he
believes that his party and the state are
synonymous terms, and regards as tau
tology Macaulay's lament for the days
"when none were for the party, but all
were for the state" It is too much to
claim infallibllity for any man, and
there may possibly have been occasions
when, the episode complete and time for
reflection afforded, wise people have
been able to point out wherein the
Speaker would have done better had he
done otherwise. But the Speaker un-
happily has not these advantages of OPP
portunity for reflection and of consider
alton of the episode as a whole, includ-
ing the consequences of the step he may
take. He has to deal with the case as
it arises, and while it is developing it
self, and Mr.. Brand never fails to satisfy
the sense Of justice and the general in
telligence Of the vast majority of those
present at the scene.
The Speaker of the House of Commons
has salary equal to that of the Prime
Minister. Both cultivate politics on
95, 900 year. In addition the Speaker
has within the precincts of Westminster
pleasant town house looking out on the
river. On the whole the emoluments of
the chair are not incommensurate with
its duty and its dignity. Both these are
met with rare excellence by Mr.. Brand,
and it will be great loss to the House
when the inevitable time comes that he
shall leave the chair without intention of
ever more taking it. In Mr.. Brands
case there are more than ordinary chan
ces of this calamity suddenly arising.
In addition to the ordinary chances of
humanity, Mr.. Brand may any morning
wake to find himself peer of TIN realm.
He is heir presumptive to one ofthe old
est baronies of the kingdom, and his
brother, Lord Dacre, is 73.-Harper's

THE MINISTER AND HIS SON.

The Rev. DR.. Charles 81. Hall, pastor
of Holy Trinity Church in Brooklyn, has
always taught his youngest Child to say
grace at the table as soon as it could
speak. His young hopeful IS now a
small boy, whose prerogative is to ask
the divine blessing upon the food as soon
as the family is seated. One day the
preacher, being in hurry to get through
his evening meal to go to wedding, en-
tered the dining-room swiftly, and as
soon as he took his seat promptly said
grace himself. His son looked at him
in surprise, and, as the father finished,
the boy shaking out his napkin said
"Well, you've got a cheek. "--Ntse York
