Speech Prom Kaiser Williams,

At Berlin on the 2Uth the Reichs tag opened
with the usual formalities:
The imperial speech called attention to the
satisfactory progress of social reform work
made; announced that bills would be intro
duced extending the system of workingmen's &C
cident insurance aud saving bank; sanctonine
an imperial contribution toward the expense Of
admitting Bremen into Zolverein: to
gran grant a subsidy to the colonial steam,
a communication will be laid before the
reichstag concerning settlements placed under
imperial protection It was necessary to Gre
ate new sources of revenue Great depression
in the sugar industry rendered all increase of
the tax on beet sugar difficult The En-
peror William, in the course of his speech,
spoke of the continued accord between Ger
many and France He said Germany has sum-
moned conference of the powers to secure
Africa from disturbance arising from internal
friction. The universal acceptance of the con-
ference proves that the friendliness of the
powers toward Germany is based on the fact
that success in war which God vouchsafel
does not tempt us to seek the peoples happi-
ness by other means than cultivating peace

Methods of Won Moltke.

On September Is Count Won Moltke
celebrated the twenty sixth anniversary
of his appointment as chief of the Gen
eral Staff of the Prussian Army. #
will be interesting to cast cursory
glance at his grand creatlon---the Gen.
eral Staff US it is now. Under him three
sections, deliberately constituted, fol-
low and record all the interesting mill
tary items at home and in foreign coun-
tries. The News Department collects
all information relating to foreign
countries that appear either in the
journalistic and literary press or are
otherwise communicated, and distribute
the same to the various sections. Sec
tion I. comprises Sweden, Norway,
Russia, Austro Hungary, Roumania,
Seryia, Montenegro, the Turkish En-
pire and all the independent States in
Asia. Section II. includes the Ger
man Empire, Denmark, Switzerland
and Italy. Section III. keeps record
of Great Britain, Holland, Belgium,
France, Spain, Portugal and their COL
onies. These three sections are desig-
mated as the "Theater of War" in CON
tradistinction of the Fourth Depart
ment of the Chief Bureau, the Rail-
way Department. Beside the Chief
Bureau there exists Sub Division,
with four sections. The foregoing may
explain the phrase frequently made use
of that the mere touching of "button"
on the chiefs desk suffices, to mobilize
an army against an Eastern or a Yves.
tern enemy, or against both at one and
the same time.

One of the most interesting questions
before the Grand Plenary Council of
the Catholic Church now in session at
Baltimore, is that of Introducing the
canon law into the government of the
church in the United States. At pres
ent the bishop of a diocese has the pow
er OF removing a priest at pleasure, but
for some time there has been dispo-
sition among the clergy to bring the
church in this country under the canon
law when a parish priest would hold
his position during life, or good behav-
ior. The parish priests would then
have right to nominate their own
bishop. 1t is also thought that some
action will be taken in the matter of
mixed marriages between Catholics and
Protestants, matter that has been for
some time pressing question, the i'm
portance of which is fully appreciated
by the prelacy. Educational questions
will also doubtless be considered. but
the conclusion arrived at by the Coun-
Gil, will probably remain unknown for
some time, as it is understood thew
must await the action of authorities at
Rome before being promulgated.

Relchstag of Imperial Parliament. The
total registered vote in the empire is
about 1O,OOO,O0O, or somewhat smaller
than that of the United States. The
members of one of the numerous Ger
man parties arc called "Secessionists"-
not, however, because they are in favor of
the secession of any part of the German
Empire, but because they are seceders
from the old National Liberal party,
which was not sufficiently radical for

September Like Old Gold.
Newark Advertiser

"September," says an old writer,
stood upon the earth like goddess of
might and glory" and September has
always been favorite with both poets
and people. It brings to earth the har-
vest moon; heavenly Endorsement of
that plenty which crowns the earth de-
spite all of mans sinfulness and short
comings. The fruits in their season"
were never more plentiful than now,
although the peaches have sometimes
been better. But what matters a par
tial failure, either in quantity or quality,
in a country which covers so much and
which has always something to offer to
make up any deficiency?
The melon can take the place of the
peach as the latter often takes the place
of the apple, which, however this year
takes its own place in superintendent
profusion. The people, taking it for
granted that the harvest is all right,
glory more in the weather that Septem-
Der offers than the produce that the
market temptingly sets forth; and sure
ly more glorious opening of month
was never known. Nothing purer than
the air we breathe to-day can lie found
this side of the Rocky Mountains. We
may have the usual spell of warm wealth
er, but September is like old gold, rich
and sober in color; and the hazy morn
ing and brilliant sunsets are such as no
other period of the year presents. It is
like a bright and pleasant dream, ieav
ing no unpleasant memories, and while
men welcome it with joy they are like
ly to depart from it with regret. It is
the one month of the year that is apt to
he verv nearly nerfect.

Great Rat-Catohing.


Duehaletet gives an account Of probably the
biggest rat-catching bout On record An old
proprietor of one of the slaCghter-houses near
Paris had a certain place entirely surrounded by
walls, with holes only large enough to admit the
passage in and out of the vernin. The earcasses
of several dead horses were placed in this enclos-
ure. The holes were quickly and quietly
stopped after small army of rats had gone into
the dead-horse banquet Duchaletet entered
with lighted torch in one hand, club in the
other He could not hit amiss; wherever he
struck he did good execution When he had fin
ished 2 600 carcasses awaited burial.
In the time Of George III there used to be a
Royal ratcatcher, and in 1862 the Board Of
Health of Bristol gave rat-catcher $50 a year
for his services in cleaning rats out Of the
slaughter houses Two celebrated ratcatchers,
Shaw and Sabin, claimed they each caught from
eight to ten thousand year. One Of them had
literary pretensions, and wrote an amusing book
on the noble art Of rat-eatehing They have
many modes of catching them One to initiate
the noise they make; another to toll them into a
room with food The method Of catching them
with ferfets and terriers is well known.
