Bismarcks Dislike of America.

Bismarck is not enthusiastic in his
love of Americans. He believes in
blue blood, and thinks there is but lit
tie of it in America. He is convinced
that we are an uneducated people, or
we should send educated men to rep
resent US in foreign courts. He snubs
Minister Carsent every Chance he gets,
for the reason that he can speak neith-
er German nor French and is a mere
tgure-head in the German capital.
The book Germany Seen Without
Spectacles, by Henry Ruggles, re-
Gently published in Boston. has kicked
up a good deal of bobbery over here,
from all accounts. 1t has had large
circulation in Germany, many copies
having been sent by German-Ameri-
cans to their friends in fatheriand.
The author says he has lived two years
in Germany, and several chapters Of
the book give the Germans rather un-
merciful criticism in their habits of liv-
inc, customs treatment of their wom-
en-. duelling, beer-drinking, etc.
These chapters have been translated
and extensively copied by the German
press, and of late one could not 90 into
a Berlin club or cafe without hearing
the book encrgetically cussed and dis
cussed A few weeks since, report
says, Berlin publishing-housc had
made arrangements for issuing an en-
tire translation of this book, but Bis
marck on hearing of it sent note to
the publishers, with his own signature,
which quietly put an end to the matter.
A German told me seriously, yester-
day, in the Cafe Bauer, that Bismarck
would never smile on Americans as
long as they published such harsh
things about the Germans, even if they
were true. .-Berlin Letter.

The Golden Rule.

A North end householder is the pos
SCISSOR of two Thomas cats, the eldest
of which has never shown anything but
q selfish grasping disposition, while the
younger is the possessor of generous,
happy spirit, the two affording an ex-
hibition of opposites too often seen
among the genus homo AT meal time
the elder of these two feline brothers
has, as is consistent with his DISPOSE
ton, an unpleasant habit of forcing his
junior to sit at second table. in fact do
ing as he always does, showing mean,
selfish and altogether catty disposition.
His greediness has been observed by
members of the family, and when, one
day this week, the daughter of the
house went, as was her wont, to feed
them, she took Master Selfshness by
the nape of the neck and intimated to
him that he should wait q few minutes
until the other had had his pick, as q
partial atonement for the numerous in
stances when he had, as the stronger,
taken his meal first. The younger, as
tonished at the sudden turn affairs had
taken, gazed as if paralyzed at the rich
ness and extent of the feast thus spread
before him. His astonishment howev-
er soon gave place to pity; he could not
appreciate the justice of this unusual
division of the food; and, suddenly
grasping in his jaws the largest and
most succulent piece Of liver exposed
on the plate, he hastened to deposit 1t
beneath the nose of his captive brother,
who, of course, made short work of it,
while the Samaritan, inwardly swell
ing, no doubt, with active conscious
ness Of his generosity, betook himself
to the speedy demolition of the remain
der Of the food. 49, Worcester Gdxette.

On a Bridge.

Miss Adams, Of Elk Garden, w. Va,
visited the Rev. Henry Kight, of Pied
mont, and asked him if he had married
her to a gentleman named George
Right some months previous. The
Rev. Mr.. Kight professed ignorance,
and claimed to know nothing whatever
about the marriage. 1t appears that
George Kight and Miss Adams came to
Piedmont several months ago, and
went to the country bridge. connecting
Piedmont, with Westernport, to DO
married. 1t has long been the custom
for runaway couples to have the mar
riage ceremony performed on this
bridge, thereby making it unnecessary
to procure license. The bridge being
between the states of Maryland and
West Virginia neither state has any
jurisdiction there. ....
Miss Adams was very young girl,
whose life had been spent in the coun-
try, and therefore never questioned the
legality of the proceedings when
minister, purportlng to be the Rev.
Henry Kight, made them man and
wife in the presence of several male
witnesses, all friends of the groom and
strangers to the bride. They lived to-
gether as man and wife for several
weeks at this place. Then Kight pro-
fessed to have business in the west,
and left. The poor girl did not learn
until u month after he had gone that
she had been the victim Of sham mar
riape.

Cremation In England.

DR.. Price the Druid" has not lived
wholly in vain. AT least he has been
the means of eliciling high judicial
opinion as to the legality of cremation.
So far as the law is concerned, every
man may dispose of his dead by burn
ing ii it seems fit to him Nor need
he now journey in company with
coffin to Berlin or Milan in order that
his deceased relative may be reduced
to ashes if not to dust. A cremation
society has been formed in England,
which has got its stoves and furnaces
in working order, its staff of "opera-
tors" and its medical officers all COM
plete, and wants for nothing, it APP
pears, but business. No doubt it will
soon get it, now that neither law nor
religion seems to be necessarily OPP
posed to the new process. There is
one matter, however, on which the So
ciety will require to give good guaran-
tees to the public. They have an
nounced that careful precautions will
be taken to ascertain in all cases tho
cause of death before the body is given
to the flames. People are not often
poisoned, perhaps, but such cases do
happen, and no poisoner could wish
for anything more than the complete
and immediate destruction of his VIC
TINS remains. And facilities of con-
cealment naturally increase the temp
tation to crime. st. JameS'S Gasette.

Snakes Food.

Talking about snakes food, | once
heard story told me by Spanish
teacher, living in this city, which takes
the cake. He said that one day, while
hunting in Brazil, his guide came run
ming back and told the party to be
careful, for in front of them was u
snake 80 feet in length. The snake
had just finished eating deer, but
had been uuable to swallow the horns,
and they were still sticking out vi Lho
snake S mouth. The gentleman said it
was a common thir in South America
for snakes to eat deer, and when the
antlers refused to go down into the
stomach, the snake would 90 and lie
in the sun and let the acid from its
stomach work on the horns and dis
solve them. This monster snake was
very likely performing this act when
the hunting party come on him. They
advanced cautiously and were about to
fire, when the snake sprang forward
and struck the guide in the breast with
the stag's horns and crushed him into
jelly. Before the snake could repeat
this playful little pastime bullet from
one of the guns of the party killed
him. He was coiled up and carried to
the nearest town and shipped to Rio,
where he is still on exhibition; the ant
lers are still in his mouth, so the Span
ish teacher told me. This story
