Kaiser William.

In these days of long life. says the st.
James Gazette, it would not be sugpris-
ing were the Emperor William to sur
vive the Iron Chancellor. as he has sur
vived so many of his old servants and
friends. The emperor was never better,
and still enjoys his wine and tobacco.
1t is remarkable that, although he has
long been famois as one of the most
vigorous men of his time, William !, was
an exceedingly feeble child. 1t was
not, indeed, until he gave himself up to
military exercises that he became ro-
bust. The kaiser has always been a
very moderate man; and to This dav his
dinner rarely consists Of more than FIVE
dishes, from which he makes a choice.
Although the cellars of the imperial
palace at Berlin are full Of the finest
wines of all countries, including the
Rhine vintages Of the famous years 1920
and 1850, "of which the bouquet alone
is a poem" the emperor rarely touches
them, and usually contents himself with
a glass or two of somewhat ordinary
Moselle.

The Interior Of Greenland.

Baron Nordenskjold's off :ial report OF
his late expedition into Greenland fully
confirms the report of the complete up
setting of his theory that the interior Of
that strange land is comparatively fer
tile. But the results of the trip are in
teresting, and to the scientists have q
special value. The party apparently
penetrated about 90 miles and the two
I.apps we're sent forward some 20 miles
further. Instead Of finding the interior
protected by lofty coast ranges, the
whole country was shown to rise grad
ually, at times almost impeIceptibly,
from the sea to q rounded table~Iand;
and the whole region is one vast tract of
ice, with roaring rivers plunging
through q reat ice canons of surprising
beauty. Not a stone or pebble, not q
speck OF sand even was found In All the
country, nothing but sofne form of water
save for quantities of metallic dust
found everywhere in cavities Of the ice,
aid some of which Barren N~0rdenskiold
took home for examination, believing it
to have been blown from cosinlcal
space. One of the pecuiiarities of this
dust is that it melts the ice beneath it,
thus forming cavities, and that its mud
dy water never freezes enough to beara
mans weight. The bones Of deer were
met in the first few days, strength
ening the belief of the party In the tenn
perate interior: but no animal life was
found whatever.

Inebriety Among women.

Some curious and interesting statistics
on the causes of inebriety of women
have just been published by physician
engaged in the reformatory prison for
women in Sherborn, Mass. Over 200
cases were examined. Sixty-five Of kthe
women were between thirty and forty
years old; forty-nine were between
twenty-five and thirty-one years: thirty
four between twenty and twenty-six
years; thirty below twenty; the remain
der were over forty. Forty-six were
serving q first sentence, forty-one q Sec
ond, forty-five a third and twenty-sixth
a fourth. Seventy three of them were
married, seventy-two of them were sim
gle and twenty-five were widows. More
than half had formed Incorporate hab-
its before they were tWenty-one years Of
age; twenty seven admitted taking in
toxicants before they we're ten. AS to
the associations which led TO their drink
ing, 1872 women claimed to nave drunk
socially, and never otherwise; forty
seven admitted that they loved liquor;
eleven gave anger or trouble as the
cause; l32 began with female friends,
only twenty-eight with male friends,and
more than half of them began with their
husbands at home. One hundred and
twenty-eight began Dy drinking Eeer;
thirty-seven by drinking whisky Cat first

Socialism is lifting its head promi-
ncntly in London. Social theories are
debated IN places where, in the
revolutionary period of 1S4S, they would
have been regarded as ridiculous. The
Liverpool Mercury's correspondent re-
marks:
"A well-known East.end curate was de-
scriblng to me lately some experiences
IN the n-eighberkooa Of TTiiitechapeii.
He is accustomed on the Sunday even
ING, after preaching his sermon, to take
off his white tie in the yestry and tossal-
ly out to the haunts Of the people under
his charge. His favorite resorts are the
haunts OF the political orators, for there,
he says, he gets to learn more clearly
than elsewhere what are the longings Of
the people. The orators themselves,
generally ignorant and blatant, are not
particularly helpful, but their audiences
are. One can see when they are touched
and it is especially affecting to watch
the women-generally hard-faced wo-
men-who had to Sight for their virtue
while young and for honesty ever since,
and who nevertheless have not found
life yield any pleasures, and snatch even
an hour of political debate as a fearful
Joy" Now, the general feeling among
those poor souls is that something Is
wrong" they do not know what, and
hardly dare to guess, but things are not
right with them; and though they
shrewdly suspect that the loud-talking
gentleman who proposes to set things
right by a revolution is wild, yet they
insist that, If God made the world, there
should be some remedy for evils worse
than death.

Young Lady's Idea of Mar
riage.
Chnries Reade.

Charles Reade.
So she was going to be married! to be
mistress of house, settle in London;
be able to go out into the streets all
alone, to shop or visit; have a gentle
man all her own, whom she could put
her finger on any moment, and make
him take her about, even TO the opera
and the theater; to give dinner parties
her own self, and even a little ball once
in a while; to buy whatever dresses she
thought proper, instead of being Grip
pied by an allowance; have the legal
right of speaking first in society, instead
of sitting mumchance and mock modest;
to be mistress instead of Miss-contemp-
ible title; to be a woman instead of a
girl; and all this rational liberty,
to be obtained by merely wedding a
dear fellow who loved her and was SO
nice; and the bright career to be usher
ed in with several delights, each ofthem
to q dear girls very soul, presents from
all her friends; as many beautiful new
dresses as if one was changing her BODY
or her hemisphere instead OF her name;
eclat; going to church, which is a good
English girls theatre of display and
temple OF vanity, and there tasting de-
lightfnl publicity and whispered admit
ration in a heavenly long veil which she
could not wear even once IL she re-
manned single. This bright ~variegated
picture Of holy wedlock, as revealed to
young ladies by feminine tradition,
though not enumerated in the Book of
Common Prayer, so e~ntranced her that
time flew by unheeded.

breaking up de Meetin,s.

The breaking up of a negro political
meeting in Maryland, the other day, by
the appearance of some dancing bears,
reminds an ex-army officer Of a similar
experience which befell him while serv-
ing as bureau officer in South Carolina,
and he relates the incident.in the Phila-
delphia Record. He was looked up TO
by the colored people for all purposes,
and was.expected to take the place of.the
.'ole master,m the Judge, the doctor and
the parson. In the latterscapacity he
was called up to read the service at the
funeral of a picaninny. The procession
had moved, in solemn order, to q grove
on the plantation used as q burial place,
the m~ourners singing in q doleful strain
as they moved along. While rendering
the burial service he happened 20 look
up and was astonished to find that the
bulk of the congregation was streaming
across the open field toward q tall tree
at whose footI a couple of dogs were
barking. One by one the mourners we're
departing. As he stood there, wonder
ing what it might all mean, the sorrow
ing father turned to him and remarked:
"Dar, dat Mungo has tr~eedsanudder
coon. He's de bes, coon dog on dis yere
ribber." The subsequent proceedings
were very short.

The Trouble with the Boys.

"The trouble with the boys nowadays
is that they don't want to work" The
speaker was one ofSpringield's substan-
tial business men. and he twas address
ing a young fellow who had just hap
pened into'the store. In answer to an
inquiring look from the young man, who
feared that the remark was aimed at
himself, the sage continued: 81 was
speaking ofthat spruce looking chap you
met as you came in. For a month back
he hasn't done enough work to earn his
board. Ten TO one he owes for the

The first appearance of the colored man in
''sodiety" at Washington was at the residence
of John W. Forney on Capitol hill in February,
1870. Invitations were sent out for a reception
and President Grant was present. as well as the
coofed guests. The latter were unfortunately
mistaken for walters by several, thus causing
some embarrassment. One was asked TO bring a
cigar, and well-known journalist accosted an
othe with, "Say, bring me some cold turkey"
The offended guest threw himself back in an
indignant manner and simply calculated, "Sah,

probably went for the turkey himself.

She dwelt for some time on the antagonsm be-
tween capital and labor. and said she had seen
wealthy ladies wrange with consumptiye
sewing woman over twenty-five cents, to save
five dollars to put with her name on a charity
list. She dipped into politics, favoring the tax
alton of bonds, and opposing Chinese immigra-

labor to degrade the brothers. sisters and or

Strawberry Culture.

Our people seem to have fallen into
regular grooves out of which they cannot
lift themselves, so far as relates to straw
berry culture. The plants must be set in
hills far apart and in rows wide asunder,
and nobody thinks of trying to raise
them on any other plan. EllWanger and
Barry say, in their Price List, that this
is all wrong: that we ought to expert
ment in search of better plans, especially
plans that viii do away with the neces-
sity of cultivatn9 so much un0ccupied
ground as we have between the rows
They recommend setting the plants in
beds (nOt mere roWs) four feet wide.
with an alley two feet wide between.
These beds will accommodate three rows
ui plants, which may stand fifteen inches
apart each way, and the outside row 9
inches from the alley. These beds can

properly enriched as for any garden
crop.
