Finding Out About Himself.

In restaurant in Boston lately three
gentlemen sat at one table, just in front
of quiet party taking his breakfast be-
hinda newspaper.
Man No. / got to talking about Bou-
cicault; man No. 2 knew him intimately
and gave definite outline of his present
plans man No. 8 told him he was scared
by the smallpox and had left his hotel
and gone to Roxbury. Then No. l de-
MED and limited the true reason-a lovely
lady. No. 2 gave some recent expendl-
lures of the actor as proof of his extrav-
agance and income, saying that Boucl-
cault himself told him thus and so.
Presently the gentleman at his break
fast laid down his paper, and to the In
tense delight of dozen who had heard
the loud talking trio discuss theatrical
affairs, said:
"Gentlemen, I am the person you ere
speaking of it always affords me pleas
ure to learn in this manner what am
doing, where I am, and what am gong
to do. 1t seems to save me the trouble
of making up my mind. / have no Idea
what I am worth, but presume your es:
innate is correct. As to the epldemso,
have lately been vaccinated, Intellectually,
/ but am as Indifferent to the disease a.
to the lovely young lady. It may bt
very fattering to me, but what do yot
think the young lady would think to b.
spoken of SO lightly; on this account
7 interrupted q very interesting converse
ton that was giving me much useful In
formation about myself"
Mr.. BoucicalIt then reseated himsel
at his breakfast, and undoubtedly enjoye'
the hasty retreat of three very confuset
and wretched young men.-Boston Let

German Military Schools.

The German military authorities seek
to establish school in Alsace-Lorraine
for the training of non-commissioned Of
ficers. Two objects are to be attained !:
FIRST, that which appears on the face of
the propos ton; the second, the secur-
ing Of supply of non-commissioned Of
ficers for service in war, and in the stand
ing army; secondly, the further sub
jugation and Germanization of the old
French district. Two similar schools
have already been established in differ
ent parts of the Empire, with good re-
suits. Thus far the Reichstag has abso-
lutely refused to vote the necessary
money for the new academy. Even Won
Moltke, who has entered heartily into
the project, has not been able to. prevail
on the members. Among those who op-
pose the appropriation are the delegates
from Alsace-Loraine. Nevertheless,
there is little doubt that pressure will be
brought to bear, and the school ulti
matefy created. It is contemplated tc
make room for four hundred boys, who
will be taken of any age above eleven,
given their clothing and food, and edu
Gated at public expense, on the condition
that they shall spend two years in the
army for every year that they are in the
academy.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION
OF the Queen OF England, while She Wa
Entering Her Carriage at Windsor.

OF the Queen OF England, while She Was
Entering Her Carriage at Windsor.
WINDSOR, ENG, March 2.-As the Queen was
entering her carriage this evening, a man in
the station yard deliberately fired q pistol ut
her. The man, who was a misunderstanding
object, was Immediately siezed by several
policemen and taken to Windsor Police Sta
ton. No one was hurt.
The man gives bis name as Roderick MacLean.
The Queen drove OF to the Castle immedi-
ately after she was fired at.
The miscreant was followed to the police Sta
tion by largo crowd Of people.
The Queen arrived at Windsor about g. 20.
She has been in London since Tuesday, where
she gave q drawing-room Wednesday in honor
Of Princess Helena, Of Waldeck, who is to
marry Prince Leopold.
There was Q large crowd Of spectators await
ing the Queens arrival at Windsor. The Queen
walked across the platform Of the railway
station to the carriage which was waiting to
take her to the Castle. John Brown bad al
ready ascended to his seat behind the carriage
when q man standing at the entrance to the
station yard among the spectators pointed o
pistol at the carriage and fired. To judge from
the report Of the pistol 1t was not heavily
| aware Of what had happened, was immeuiately
driven to the CASTLE, but before she passed the
man had been seized by the Superintendent Of
the borough police, who was standing near by.
| He was violently seized by the crowd, and
only rescu, when three or four policemen
came to the Superintendent's assistance. The
pistol was captured by one Of the crowd.
| The report of the pistol was sharp, but not
loud. MacLean apparently intended firing
again, when the revolver, which seemed to be
q new one, was knocked from his hand by q
bystander and handed to the police.
| ManT ,ean ia said tn b6 an inhabitAnt Of
Southsea.
NJ bulletrmarks were found on the Queens
| carriage.
MacLean is twenty-seven years old. he
states that he is grocer's assistant. The doc
tors pronounce him sane. The revolver is {
six-chamhered Colt, American make. Two
chambers were found loaded, and two recently
discharged. Fourteen ball cartridge wer,
found on the prisoner. MacLean says hunge
actuated the crime.
The Cabinet sent dispatch to Windsor, ex
pressing qualification at the failure Of the at
tempt at assass nation.

Romance of a Poor Young Girl.

A lady correspondent at Center White
Greek, Washington County, sends US the
following romance of real life. It con-
Germs a native of Washington County.
She says:
Five years ago a poor and modest
country girl of twenty-one summers,
following the path of duty, enlisted in
the holy wars and sailed with band of
brothers to far-off heather shore, leav-
ing behind her two rejected and likewise
miserable lovers; one lad of low con-
dition, the other q regular patrician.
But the heathen have souls to be saved,
and for four years our self-sacrihcing
heroine followed the noble calling she
had chosen. Early in May, 1881, our
fair toiler in the vineyard, deeming that
the heathens were sufficiently converted
to admit of visit to her native shore,
resigned her charge for period and
sailed, via England, for her own home
and harbor. An English nobleman who
chanced to be among the passengers be-
came interested in the poor American,
and ere the good ship anchored ut Liver
pool had offered his hand, heart and for
tune and been accepted. At London
the lovers parted soon to meet again, to
receive fathers blessing and part no
more. The bride of the future continued
her journey alone with her trousseau,
and was soon welcomed in New York by
host of admiring relatives and the for
gotten lovers. Preparations were COM
menced for the reception of the noble,
and the disappointed lovers sighed for
the things which . "might have been. "
But alas the nobleman met with Q
financial misfortune. Tenderly did he
break the news to the distant fair one,
nobly releasing her from promises which
might become irksome. The humble
and faithful suitor (who chanced to be
nearest), soon became dearest, and the
weary heart, taken on the rebound, sur
rendered gracefully, and they were
united in the holy bonds of matrimony,
at the residence Of the brides parents.

The Great Conde.

The Great Conde, as Louis H. de
Bourbon was called, was born In the
Castle of Vincennes, September 8, 1871.
He early displayed his ability as mill
tary leader, and when only twenty-five
years of age was placed In command OF
the French army in Flanders. At Rocroy,
in May, 1913, he defeated the Spanlards,
and the next year forced General Mercy,
the Bavarian, to retreat alter three days
of fighting, and again in 1645, he met
Mercy at Nordlingen, and engaged In
terrible conflict, in which Mercy was
killed, and Conde himself was wounded,
but finally achieved another victory. In
1916 he returned to Flanders and took
Dunkirk, and in 1647, in Spain, was un.
successful in the siege of Lerlda, but
speedily silenced the opposition TO hum
by signally defeating the Spanish 81
Lens, in Flanders, in 1648. this victory
bringing about the end Of the Thirty
years War, and the peace of Westphalia-
When the war of the Fronde began IN
1649, Conde for time took the side OF
the Royalist party and Mazarin, but be-
lieving his services were not fully re-
cognized, resented it, and gave ottense,
and early in 1850 he was arrested, but
subsequently released. Then he raised
an army to oppose the Royalists, and
met his great rival, Turenne, near
Bieaneau, on the Loire, April 2, 1852,
where, although Conde had the advantage
of lperior numbers, Turenne was sue
cessful. Again Conde met the Royalists
July 2 Of the same year, under the walls
Of Paris. and would have been entirely
defeated but for the assistance given by
friends within the city. Those who had
opposed the Royalists had meanwhile
grown weary Of the struggle, and Conde
in vain urged them to prolong it. BE
felt, therefore, compelled to join his old
enemies, the Spainards, in the Neither
lands, but his fortune seemed for time
| to desert him, and he shared in the de-
feats inflicted by Turenne upon his allies,
at Arras, in 1854, and near DunkIrk in
1858. When the treaty Of the Pyrenees
was concluded, in 1859, he was pardoned
and allowed to return to France, where
he lived at his magnificent country seat
of Chantilly. He was called back to
active service eight years afterward, and
early in 1868 conquered Franche- Comte
in less than three weeks. Conde was
about that time candidate for the crown
of Poland after the abdication Of John
Casimir. In 1872, when the war against
the United Provinces broke out, he was
placed at the head Of one of the armies
that invaded the Netherlands, and WA
wounded in the arm at the crossing O
the Rhine. On August II, 1874, b.
fought at Senef an indecisive battle witt
William of Orange, and in 1875, on th'
death Of Turenne, was called to Alsac'
to command the French army there, ant
drove .Montecucui beyone the Rhine
Now his long and arduous campaign
began to tell upon him, and he wa
forced to retire from active service. ii
spent his remaining years at Chantilly
dying there December II, 1885.

Are American Churches Safe 7

Since that terrible loss Of life in an
English church, owing to a panic, it is
asked in all seriousness if the American
churches should not be inspected and
made to conform to as strict regulations
as are the theaters There may be some
particularly good people who rather en-
joy the risk Of having the life trampled
out of them, or being otherwise put to
death in church; but still it is as much
the duty of the authorities to see that
they run no more unnecessary danger al
churches than at the theaters. -Phild.

ment. We do not see why there should
be great excitement The probability is
that, though human heads were plenty,
boxes were scarce, and the man put the
two in one box to economic. It may
not have been very good taste, but we
cannot see any reason to get excited be-
cause our ideas of propriety differ from
