A year or two ago Prince Bismarck
promulgated an imperial rescript, in
forming the Reichstag, the popular
body of the Empire, and the people,
that all true political power came from
the Grown, and that their powers were
really nothing more than advisory. Not
few individuals predicted revolution.
But did not come. Emboldened by
apparent submission or Indifference
Bismarck now wants new Constitu-
ton which will give The throne a per-
manent military budget, and impose a
lest oath which will exclude socialists
and the reactionary representatives
generally from the Reichstag. If the
Reichstag does not obediently furnish
the required instrument, congress of
the German princes will be called to
supply it. The denial of representa-
ton involved in these changes, and the
removal from the representative body
of any control over the military sup
plies, it would seem, ought to be suf-
6cient to bring on asreyolution If any
thing would. The people move slow
but predictions are now freely made if
The latter scheme is carried out the re-
suit will be 9 popular up rising.

an unknown colored man at Coon Creek, sta

that the man committed suicide. Engineer
Horn, who was driving the engine at the time,
says the man had plenty of time to jump the
track, but instead of doing so threw his, arms
wildly about him, and then folded them, and
awaited the arrival of the engine. The body

London, Special: Another lordly ibertine
has come, to grief Edward Burtenshaw Sug-
den, Lord st. Loonards, Of Slaugham hall was
arrested on Tuesday, the 18th, at Brentford,
charged with committing a rape upon one Miss
service of a family friend of his lortlship,
whom he had been visiting. The circumstan-
ces of the assault were outrageously brutal;
and the Brentford gentleman whose hospitality
had been so shamefully abused, was foremost
in bringing the scamp to justice. The prelimi-
nary examination was conducted at Brentford
before two magistrates, who were SO Mortified
at the details that were proved against Lord
st. Leonards, with hardly an effort on his part
to deny them, that they instantly ordered him
to be fully committed for trial at the next as
sizes and firmly refused all offers of bail. Lord
st. Leonard's solicitors offered any amount of
BAIL and protested in Mortified tones against
sending baron of England to the common jail,
but the magistrates were inexorable, and his
lordship now languishes in Brentford prison.

The revival of pugilism in this coun.
try has been too obvious to escape the
notice of anybody who takes interest in
current events. Nearly every day we
read of prize fights, thinly disguised as
boxing matches, where two brutes stand
mp and thump each other till one is
knocked out" and is dragged off, bleed
ing, swollen and half dead. No more
vicious or degraded sport can be i'm
agined. It lacks even the dignity of the
gladiatorial combats or of an honest
bull-fight, and should be forbidden as
hurtful in the highest degree to the in.
terests of civilized society.

Senator Anthony of Rhode Island,
has returned home and probably will
never return to Washington. His brain
has given way at last and the time is
near when his late associates in the SEN
ate will be called to pronounce eulogies
upon his life and public services, but it
is safe to aygthat none will compare in
felicitous expression with his own pro-
auctions in that line. He has been q
prominent figure in public affairs for
twenty-five years, covering the most
important and stirring epoch in thu
country's history.

Some excitement was caused last Saturday by
the announcement of the failure of the North
western Car and Manufacturing company at
Saltwater, Mimi, of which Senator D. M Sa7
bin is president, and the appointment of E. s:
Brown, of the firm, of Hersey, Bean & Brown,
of Saltwater, as receiver.
- The failure is ascribed to losses by fire, dull
times, the non-payment of notes for machinery,
and the failure of loan negotiations in New
York consequent upon the great Marine bank
failure. The assets are reported at four mil
lions to cover immediate liabilities of a. million
and quarter. A note of IS, 600 went to protest
Friday night, and on Saturday the executive
committee decided that it would best for all
parties to throw the whole concern into the
hands of a receiver.

When will the doctors generally take
the field against these enormities in

in Philadelphia who refuses to prescibe

changed her style of dress, and especi-

doctors would have the courage to do
likewise, simply denying their counte-
nance to nervous and other sufferers,
until these last are willing to dress less

ornamenting With Real Ferns.

Many useful articles can be ornament
ed with real ferns, MOSES and flowers.
Cut out in white cardboard a set of toilet
mats, draw a scallop round them, tax
ing half the circumference of a cotton
reel as a guide. Cut the scallops out
with q sharp pair of scissors, and punch
a hole in the center of each with q shoe
makers punch, q quarter of an inch
across. The ferns, MOSES, small flowers,
etc, must be prepared by pressing
them with a hot iron, first covering
them with one or two sheets Of blotting
paper. Now with a small brush cover
all the under side of each leaf or
flower with hot gelatine and water (half
an ounce of gelatine to half a pint of
water will be about the proportion),
and lay it on the mat very carefully In
the position you wish it to be, pressing
firmly with a soft cloth on and off for a
few minutes, till it is firmly fixed.
Brush over both sides and the edges
with hot gelatine. 1t is better to give it
two coats before vanishing. These
mats will wash with a little soap and
water if they have been thoroughly gel
atined and vanished. The stamped

kind of mats, instead of ferns, etc,

The frequent praise of kerosene and
milk to destroy insects is not lily be-
slowed. Professor A. j. Cook has for
years, as reported in The New York
Tribune, found that kerosene mixed
with soapsuds and spenged on plants is
quick death to plant-lice. Last summer
he and his students experimental quite
thoroughly with kerosene and milk
using sou milk, as cheaper-and found
that by stirring well it remained mixed
for some minutes, giving ample time to
apply it. They tried it or many plants,
and found that applied one of the oil to
five of milk did no harm to any plant.

The seventeen-year locust will raid
parts of Virginia this year. As a con-
temporary remarks. 1T is a blessing to
the country that these voracious fellows
are, 10y nature, prevented from making
a raid all over the country the same year.
They usually appear in the latter part
of May, and after chattering among
the grasses, trees and shrubbery, shed
their shells, and disappear i'll six OF
seven weeks. These cicad@ are not
usually destructive or mischievous, be-
ing unlike the locust of Egypt, which
are said to have been of similar species
to the ''grasshoppers" Of Western
plains Our se~venteen-year locusts are
among the most unique of organized be-
ings, requiring nearly two decades to
perfect their being, and all, barring
accidents, living a given period, and
dying by hordes at the end thereof.
Uncle Waldo says, in the New York
Tribune, that a locust plantation may
be cut off clean and marketed in from
II to 20 years from planting, and the
crop will bring from $500 to 81, 900 per
acre. The second crop will be ready
for market in two or three years less
time than the first, as the roots are
stored with sap, and push a wonderful
growth. One need not wait twelve or
fifteen years for a return, however, for
after the plantation is four years old it
may be seeded to grass, and will pro-
duce enough pasture to pay a fair in
terest on the investment. After four
years growth the Trimmings of the plan
tation will yield a regular income for
several years, and this is particularly
true of the second growth, which is dense
and rapid.
