A fine portrait of Count Won Motke is
the frOntispiece Of the March Centurg,
and Miss Helen Zimmern gives an enter
tanning account of Won Moltke's life. His
daily routine is described as follows
"Winter and summer, Moltke enters his
st udy at the stroke of seven a. m. Here
he drinks his morning coffee. smokes
cigar, and writes until the stroke of nine,
when his business letters are brought to
him, which he reads and dispatches. He
then exchanges his dressing gown for his
uniform, and is ready at eleven to receive
his adjutants, to hear their reports, and
issue his orders. While at work he par
takes of simple lunch, and when his adj
jutants are gone resumes his writing I'M
til the stroke OF two. when the work is
pushed aside. He then receives the
higher officers of the staff and listens to
their reports. This ended, which may be
longer or shorter according to circum-
stances, Moltke goes for walk. 1t is no
infrequent thing to encounter him in the
busy streets of Berlin, peeping into the
shop windOws which appear to have an
attraction for him. At four he takes q
frugal Dime in company with his family,
and the hour OF dinner is for them the hap
piest Of the day. Then the taciturn man
becomes loquacious, and delights his
hearers with his charming, cheerful talk.
From five to seven he again devOtes him.
self to writing; from seven to eight the
newspapers are perused. At eight he
once more rejOins his family at the tea
table, after which follows a game Of
whist, in which the great strategist is
naturally proficient. The game over,
the evening is generally ended with
music, to which MOltke is devoted At
eleven he retires to rest"

AN INCIDENT OF TRAVEL
The Poor Reward Which a Fireman Got
for His Bravery.
Charlotte ~. O. Observer.


A few days ago two gentlemen from the
Highlands made their appearance on our
streets in search of stray nickels. One
Rugged big bag of wind, while the other
blew through an instrument that looked
like blunderbuss with its butt end pulled
off. They were what our knowing ones
term Scottish bagpipers. The bagpipers
discOursed about town for a while and
then disappeared down the Charlotte,
Columbia and Augusta Railroad. Mon
day evening they were seen near Chester.
Yesterday morning the Charlotte
bound freight was spinning along at
rapid rate about ten miles this side of
Chester, when the engineer saw what he
thought to be a baby lying on the track
a short distance ahead. The engine was
reversed and the brave fireman ran out to
the front of the engine to snatch the poor
child from a terrible death. just before
the pilot struck it the fireman grasped it
in his hands and drew it to his bosom.
Ibid you save the child % shouted the
terrified engineer. But no answer came.
The fireman had tainted from excitement,
and as he fell the object dropped from mis-
arms. The engineer ran out to pick up
the child, and found that the brave fire.
man had sayed-the Highlanderse bag
pipe. 1t had probably blown away from
him and fell on the railroad track.

My son, you have got few thousand

stocks or to speculate in wheat or cotton.
and your days and nights are full of pleas-
ant thoughts of enormous profits. j.
Gould didn't have your capital to start
with, and now he thinks he owns eleven
States. Vanderbilt only had hundreds
where you have thousands, and vet he
owns eleven Of the other States and a
brick house which is positively rat proof.
At your age Willard was a poverty
stricken clerk, and Russell Sage was in
venting the three-legged milk-stool.
But go slow, my boy. ANY idiot can
buy stock and futures. but it takes a long
head to buy what is certain to return big
profits. Fight shy of railroad stocks.
Don't think of investing in silver mines.
Keep clear of wheat, corn and cotton.
Don't fool with canal shares, county
bonds, navigation stocks, nor flying-ma-
chimes. Be reasonable. Don't expect to
make money too fast. Go into business
with an undertaken tor a year and let the
market settle. Start a corner grocery and
get some idea of how Goldfish f1uctuates.
Establish bucket-shOp and learn how to
manipulate the market. Open a liver-pad

A Frightful Fungus.


One of the most remarkable fungi of
which there is any record grew in the
wine cellar of Sir Joseph Banks. He re-
ceived cask of wine as gift, and find
ing it too sweet had il locked up in a Gel
lar to ripen. There it remained for three
years, probably during the time he was
with Capt. Cooke in his voyage around
the world. At the end of that period
he directed his butler to ascertain the
state of the wine, but the cellar door
could no be opened on account of some
powerful obstacle within. The door was
cut down, when the cellar was found to
be completely filled with a fungus so
dense and firm as to require an axe for
its removal. 1t was then discovered that
the fungus had consumed every drop of
wine and raised the empty cask to the
ceiling.

A FAT MAN IN A HEROIC.
The Funny Time He Had in Getting
Ont
Ne,o York Times.


A jolly old gentleman, whose alder
manic obesity betOkened at least 80
pounds, had a rather laughable expert
ence in herdic in Boston few DAYS
ago. He took herdic, and, upon reach
ing the corner of Beacon street, where he
wished.te be left, found he could not get
out, as the spring latch of the door had
become disarranged, and the door could
not be opened except by breaking it. The
bright idea Of getting out through the
window presented itself to the old gentle
man, and he proceeded TO carry it into
execution. After getting his head and
shoulders out his body became so wedged
that he could not move. The driver pulled
and tugged to get him through, but in
vain. a crowd of persons gathered, and
many were exceedingly liberal in their
suggestions as to how the unhappy man
could be relieved from his dilemma.
After much difficulty the victim decided
to follow the advice of one. and proceeded
10 lower himself out legs first. In this
he was assisted by PatrOlman Maynes.
but the united efforts of the officer and
the jehu were unaYailing, and the poor old
man was soon in a worse predicament
than ever. For some time he remained
balanced on the sill of the window, I'M
able either to get IN or out. The crowd
continued to throw out suggestions, and
after much labor the old gentleman, crest
fallen and completely crushed, was
pushed back into the herdic, and it was
driven to a blacksmith's shop. There the
door was forced and the unwilling pris-
oner was at liberty. Upon regaining his
wOnted geniality he seemed to enjoy his
experience. and laughed as much as any
body over it, at the same time, however,
expressing desire that the matter should
be kept from his Beacon street friends.

said ETastus Brooks, while delivering an
address before the Jefferson Club of New
Brighton, Staten Island, Thursday even
ing. I'VE are now deep in a discussion
concerning the tariff continued Mr.
Brooks, land the first inaugural address
of President Jefferson contained thoughts
on that theme as valuable to-day as they
were then. He believed in international
reciprocity, opposing tariff to tariff, duty
to duty, but at all times giving preference
to free and unrestricted trade, and this to
be maintained free from all Shackles by
commercial treaties and arrangements.
''On civil service" said Mr.. Brooks,
president Jefferson could not be misun-
derstOOd- The patronage of the govern
ment should not be brought into conflict
with the freedom of elections he dis
tinctly declared, and refused to remove
from office those who held places of honor
under his predecessor. the whole art of

and conservative doctrine that Washing

Peace with all nations and entangling
alliances with none? We read to-day of
United States Senators voting themselves
clerks and secretaries, at liberal
salaries, and then appointing their
sons, daughters and wives to
perform those duties. What a contrast
to this was the reply of Jefferson,
when impOrtuned to appoint one of
his own flesh and blood: i can find
better men for every place than my own

candidates for Office was different from
