month or so, was reprinted in aSt Louis
journal, with the authors signature still

sumably a constant reader, of the ST. Louis
journal Is veteran who fought for the pro.
seryation of the union. He read the graphic
narrative with keen interest, and when his
eye fell upon the authors signature he felt
a strange thrill in his breast. The name
recalled to him the smoke'laden air OF the
hloody battle field ut the dead of night. He
was once moro lying wounded, amid the
dead and dying, on the damp earth.
He Wondered for while and then wrote
a letter to the ex.contederate colonel,
asking him if he did not recall TO mind u
hitherto unpublished incident of the great
civil conflict. To this letter he signed his
full name, with the rank he held In the

inst Struck Him,

A few weeks ago the office of bust
ness man in a Pennsylvania village was
destroyed by fire, and amonghis papers
were the notes of hand of several of his
fellow citizens for various amounts.
Each one gave new note as fast as
spoken to, until call was made upon
the last-a steady old deacon, who was
supposed to be strictly honest. The
case was explained, and he was asked
to make another note.
Suppose refuseP' he asked.
"Oh, you won't refuse"
Suppose l declare that the note
which you say you held was for only
$50, instead of $50p"
"I'll trust you, Deacon, to do the
right thing"
"Well, / guess you can, guess you
can," unused the old man, ''for it just
struck me that you had two witnesses in
the office the day we made out the note.

The Future Empress Of Germany.

Mr.. Joseph Cook said in q recent
lecture: "When the present emperor
dies there will come to the throne in the
German empire man of most liberal
opinions in theology. The crown prince
is not nationalist. do not regard him
as an opponent to Christianity, but he is
married to daughter of Queen Victo-
ria, who thinks that any man who be-
lieves in miracles is either a hypocrite
or a fool. She was a pupil of Strauss.
One of the first important remarks 1
heard on going to Germany nine years
ago-and the sentence came from no
less man than Prof Tholuck-was that
the crown prince had married a woman
of frivolous opinions in theology, and
that great harm might ultimately come
to the empire from her being pupil of
Strauss, the author of the mythical
theory. A similar opinion l met often
on q recent tour to six of the foremost
German cities and universities.
