80 yes; dozens of times. He was the
German Minister at St. Petersburg, you
know. He is a pleasant fellow in pri-
Vate, little ugly at times, but always
gentleman. / honestly believe that his
tongue is the greatest instrument Of sar-
casm this world has ever known. 1t has
always something cutting to say-nOt
that he is guilty Of SANDER, for he is above
that, but he is forever crltiGiisissgg IL -
severe way everything that comes before
him. l remember one night he attended
meeting Ofprominent men at the residence
OF 4 nigh Russian nObleman. Different
statesmen were talked about, and Bis
mark applied some haunting criticism to
every man mentioned. His sarcasm
reached even his own friends. At last his
carriage was announced, and he arose to
90. AS he went down stairs. the host
leaned over the banister and whistled for
his dog.
= Are you afraid the dog will bite me%
asked Bismarck.
80 no, your excelIency,' said the host;
Pm afraid you will bite the dog
Strange to say, Bismarck did not resent
the glbe. In fact, he seemed to accept it
as compliment. Whenever Bismarck
gets into a reminiscent mood he is the
most interesting cOnyersatiOnalist | ever
heard. In 1861 Napoleon visited him for
two weeks in Germany. The two great
men used to walk arm-in-arm together,
talking of their schemes. Napoleon
called Bismarck a dreamer When Bis
mark told Of the circumstance after
NapOleOn's downfall, he added with a
smile, I've outdreamed him, anyhow"
The speaker told a dozen interesting
anecdotes about the Russian courts.
The mother of the present Emperor"
said he, was an angel in her family,
.lr in IN M
hgiOn. She dressed with extreme plain
ness. When some years ago Lady
Dufferin first went to St. Petersburg it
was necessary for her to be received in
audience by the Empress. At the time
appointed she arrived and was ushered
into the room. There she found lady
very plainly dressed, who approached and
asked her: Did you see my daughter be-
fore YOU left England" Excuse me-
said Lady Duderin, but we move in diff
ferent circles. Who is your daughter|
My daughter is the Duchess of Edin-
burgh, said the plain lady, who was none
other than the Empress. AS an opposite
extreme Of Russian Queens, the wife of
Nicholas the First, and the sister of the
present Emperor of Germany, was the
prOudest and hughtiest woman Russia
has ever seen. When she was 60 years
old, or more. she aWOke and said that she
had dreamed of a particular shade of blue
which would become her very much. All
the stores Of st. Petersburg were ran
sacked in vain. Messages were sent to
the large cities Of Europe, and at last the
shade had to be manufactured at Lyons
expressly to crafty her whim. She died
a very miserable death, and for the last
two years of her life she had four nurses.
She had a twitching sensation, and in order
to hide it she covered herself with dia-
mOnds and precious stones, so that their
differing would conceal the effect.

IMITATION OYSTERS.
The Tale of a Traveller Who says There

The most singular thing that l saw in

was artificial oysters; not what you call
mock oysters, that IS, meat done up in a
patty or pOtpie, but an imitation of the
real biYalye and fit to serve raw. And as
tar as their looks 90, you would say at
once that they were genuine American
oysters, but when you came to eat one the
difference world be perceptible ut once.
How they are made and what is used in
their manufacture is a mystery did not
solve, but it is certain that a great deal of
money is made by the producers. The
usual price is five cents each. and some
times in the secOnd-clasS eating houses
they are to be had for three cents. though
they are not apt to be fresh at that price
You order a plate on the half she'll and
when the waiter brings them to you they
look as nice as those you get in the best
New York places. Ii YOU are not a good
judge of oysters you will eat them with
your wine and 20 away without asking
any questions.
The only thing genuine about them is
the shells. The manufacturers buy Sec
Ond-hand shells from restaurant keepers
at small expense, and. with a sort of
paste, fasten the spurious oyster in its
place. Only one-half shell is used for
the purpose, and in that shape the fraud
oysters are packed on shelves in boxes.
Others, 10 be served without the shells,
are put up in cans containing twenty-five
or one hundred. The dealers in real oys-
tiers urge the saloon keepers to break up
their shells as fast as their contents are
consumed, and even pay the cooks and
walters to pound them 10 pieces.

"WHERE ILOVE, 1 LOVE FOR
EVER"

She was blithcsOme maid who sang,
Close by the cottage window sitting;
Sweet and clear were the notes that rang
ont on the air where the birds were fitting;
Merrilv, merrily, sang the birds.
But none could exactly guess their words.
While the maid so clever,
And blushing never,
Sang, "Where love, love forever"
lie was youth just passing by
While ne maid WIS s'rviU" oh So Sweetly .
Who to the gaTdcu-gatc drew nigh
And listened there, entranced completely;
For the sound of q voice SO sweet and clear
Was rapturOus music 10 his ear,
And he said, ''Ah. never
Would wish to sever
From one who loves, and loves forever
The maiden smiled on her lovers suit,
When at her feet me made confession;
Her eyes were bright, but her voice was
mute.
When She gave her heart into his posses
sion.
But now together their lives are set.
They sing in unison this duet:
''Well discover
Never-never!
For where we love. we love forever"

SECESSION PROBABLE.
The Excited People of Manitoba Advocating
Open Rebellion.

WINNIPEG, Man. Feb 16-The delegates
from the Farmers Union returned from Ottawa
last night Their memorial to the government,
requesting redress for the grievances under
which the people are suffering, received no
attention. They report that nothing
will be conceded by the govern
ment. The people here are greatly
incensed at the governments action. Many adj
voeate open rebellion. The council of the Farm
ers' Union has called a convention to meet March
5, at which the whole Northwest will be repre-
scented, and decisive action be taken. The
council in their circular, say: ZAP
rived at grave crisis in the history
of our Province when every interest
is vitality concerned, and laying aside all party,
political feelings, let u.s. as Manitobians, con
tinue to obtain Just rights and unite as one man
to secure them"
Feelings of intense Indignation at the
Dominion governments action are ex-
pressed on all sides Should Norquay's
mission to Ottawa prove fruitless as the farmers
delegate, it is impossible to say what extreme
measures our people will be driven to to enforce
justice from a tyrannical government The
revolutionary spirit is spreading among the peo
pie, and it is probable it will not stop short of
secession from the confederation.

LONDON, Feb 16.-The preparations for the
war in Egypt which England is now making
indicate that the government anticipates more
serious campaign than mere expedition of re-
lief to Tokar Besides ordering flying column,
consisting for the most part of marines, to
operate from Suakim, the government has di-
rected the main strength of the expedition to
operate from Trinkitat. An immense trans
port train has been collected at Cairo, sufficient
to supply the expedition with material for 1000
troops. 1t is supposed that, after effectng the
relief of Tokar the. expedition will force road
to Berber, so as to enable General Gordon to
bring down the garrison and fugitives from
Khartoum Between Ismala and Suez more
than thousand eamels have been collected for
the expedition. General Graham, the COM
manderin-ch chief of the expedition, will
make no forward movement for
the relief of Tokar, either from Sualtim
or Trinkitat until his forces amount to $500
English troops, with complete equipments The
date now appointed for the concentration of the
forces at SSuakim is Feb. IS. The advance move
ment to relieve Toliar will begin about the 9Th
of March Admiral Hewitt, who is in command
at Suakim, has been trying to negotiate with the
Sheikhs, supposed to be friendly, on the Red

ILLINOIS.
The Harper High-License Law Declared
Constitutional.


Constitutional.
SPRINGFIELD, Feb 1.-THE Supreme Court
has affirmed the judgment. of the lower court in
the case of Timm vs. Harrison, mayor of Chi
cago, thereby asserting the constitutionality of
the Harper high license law. This was a suit
brought by Timm on behalf of the State Liquor
Dealers Association of Illinois, against the
mayor of Chicago, to compel him to issue to the
complainant $103 saloon-license under the city
ordinance passed prior to the time the Harper
law went into effect, July 1, 1883. The mayor
refused to issue it ON the ground that the Harper
law required the payment of $500 for license to
sell spurious liquors within the State. Timrn's
bill urged the unconstitutionality of the Harper
law, and the matter being carried to the Su-
preme Court the latter decided against the
liquor men and pronounces the act constitu-
tional. The only matter now before the Su-
preme Court undecided relating to liquor licenses
involves the validity of an ordinance granting to-
saloon keepers of this city licenses during the
past year at $103, and thus attempting to evade
the effect of the Harper law for nearly twelve
months.
