How They vote in Germany.

A striking feature of the German
municipal system is its entire independ-
ence of national politics. No issue but
those arising out Of municipal questions
are allowed to influence the city cleo
tions. Every male inIabitant "a years
OF age hal g light T-oste On municipal
questions provided that he has his W
household and isnot dependent on faith
er and mother; that he has not re-
ceived aims from the public funds
within twelve years that he occupies a
house or pursues a trade with two en-
ployes; that he pays an income tax or a
class tax. Under one or another Of
these Eve conditions all industrious
persons in the city are included. That
all votes should count equally are re-
garded as unbusiness-like. The ar
rangement adopted to meet this point
Of view is this: Voters are divided into
three classes, each of which elects one
third of the city council. To the first
class are assigned 10 many Of the larg-
est taxpayers as pay one-third of the
taxes assessed to the second SO many as
in the aggregate pay the second third
of the taxes to the third class belong
all not included na the first and second.
Each of the three classes elects forty
two members Of the council, its iniu-
ence upon questions Of finance being
kept in strict equality with its tax pay
ments. The city council of Berlin has
long been conspicuous for the education
and financial standing of its members.
Election to 1t is accounted an honor 10
which the ablest men Of the city aspire.

From the Des Moines Register.
Some such man as Armour, with a
few spare millions at hand, will be in
demand one Of these days, when the
great palace of Wilbur f. Storey, the
aemented editor, will be sold. It is of
marble, four or five stories high, aud
contains eighty rooms. IF Mr.. Storey
dreamed Of the biggest newspapers on
earth AMars Storey 5 visions were OF the
biggest and costliest house. That the
grand mansion, as yet incomplete, after
i've years of work, was her idea no one
who knew Storey in his vigor doubts.
Nobody cared less for such things than
he. He is said TO have been told by the
spirits that he should build the house,
and as he was at that time completely
under the influence of the shadowy
visitors, he promptly began operations.
After o little he lost faith in the spirits,
but he kept right on with his palace.
When finished it will have cost about
$500, 00e. and the question which agi-
;ates somes sections of Chicago society is,
Who will live init?
1t is not probable that Mrs. Storey
sver will, though that has been the
cherished hope OF her life. The pro.
seedings already had in the Storey case
Indicate that a prodigious will contest
s coming as soon as the breath leaves
ihe old mans body. When he married
ais present wife she entered into a con-
Tact with him to surrender her dover
tights in consideration Of a sum of
money, to be proportionate to his es-
ate. He then made a will confirming
his ante-nuptial agreement and provid-
ng that in addition she should have
BIO, 900 o year from the estate. Since
his mind failed she claims that he has
prepared another will, giving her all
his property with the exception of q few
requests to relatives. This viii is in
her possession and the ether che is in
he vaults at the Office.
Mrs. Storey is q woman of command

Webster in Private Life.

The Hon. Alexander Stephens once
said of Daniel Webster: 81 think Web
,ter was the worst slanderad man / ev-
sr knew It is the general impression
n the country to-day that Webster was
/ great drundard. You hear it spoken
IF wen now whenever his name is 8
tioned, but it is an outrageous SANDER.
| will tell youfwhat ] know myself.
For six years while we were both in
Congress I lived next door to him.
His house was as familiar to me as my
own garden. i was In there q great
leal and he was often in mine, and in
all the time of my acquaintance with
him / never saw Webster when he was
the least affected by liquor or under the
influence oft in any way. Ihaye dined
with him at his house and mine, ] have
met him at dinners and affairs outside
and / never saw him in the least inebri-
ated. j never heard of his being intoxi-
Gated but twice, and on one of those oc-
casions-a dinner-he made q speech
that was grandly eloquent. Then, too,
there had been much said about his In
CONTINGENCY. j think it is even worse
Islander than the other. When we were
neighbors he was married to his second
wife Ca fine woman) and, with the ex-
eeption of Toombs and Calhoun, I new
or saw a man SO devoted to his wife as
Webster was. They were always to-
gether. III he went out to walk in the
evening as was his custom, Mrs. Web
ster always accompanied him. | used
to meet them often. Henever was away
from home over night that his wife did
not go, too. He went frequently TO
New York and Baltimore, but he al
ways took Mrs. Webster with him. At
the receptions in the city they always
we're together and whenever you saw
Webster you saw Mrs. Webster on his
arm. 1t was different then from now.
It was not then considered wrong for a
man and his wife to keep together at
such entertainments. Now if a man
speaks to his wife at any reception or
affair of the kind he is thought to be
unfit for good society. He must bean
around some other woman and leave
MS wife to be looked after by some 9TH
sr man. Webster loved his wife and
was kind and faithful to her, and she
was one of the most elegant refined la
dies / have had the fortune to know"

Another Lucky Coachman-

The elopement Of Magdalene Darke,
If Harrison, Westchester county, N
Y, with Jesse Carroll, her fathers
coachman, was the topic Of conversa-
lion in that neighborhood recently.
Mr.. Drake was -committaI, except
to say that he knew nothing about the
runaways and should take no means to
find out anything about them. Miss
Drake left her fathers house on Mon
day to visit acquaintance in New York
city. She took with her two large
trunks we'll filed. Her father had no
idea until Wednesday night that she
had eloped. Carroll bears an excellent
reputation in Harrison. The people
there say that he has o good education,
is . steady fellow and viii make Miss
Drake a good husband. He is of a
saving disposition and has, it is said
$1,000 In a savings bank. His step
father, too, an old freshman, who works
for Mr.. Drake as under gardner, is said
to have saved a competency. Friends
Of Carroll say that the couple were
married in New York city on Monday
or Tuesday. Ii is also said that Miss
Drake has a fortune of some SO 600 in
heryown right, which was left her by
her mother, and that she viii get il

and to live in the great palace on the
Boulevard. In this she is backed by
some shrewd newspaper men, who
would expect in the event of her sue
cess to be given positions of trust and
profit under her. She has never had
any experience in business and is prob
ably as little calculated to manage a
great property as any person IN the
world. She has set her mark very
high, however, and it is believed thai
the struggle recently Witnessed here in
the courts is only a preliminary to a
much larger n that is bound to come
when the various bills are entered for
probate.

OUR VILLAGE BELLE
She was our village belle,

How she firted with the teacher,
And the single village preacher,
And the swell.
She said she was eighteen.

Sey'ral slender streaks OF gray
That through her hair did stray
Could be seen.
And to church she often went,
Most intent
On all the preacher said,
And at his prayers her head
Down she bent.
Then she'd glance r the aisle !.
At the style
That the village swell would fling,
And she'd think to win a ring

And then behind her fan
She would scan,
And the teachers jealous look,
As his face rose over his book,
Thin and wan.
But she wed none of these three,

For my father wooed another,
And l have a.second mother.

Soap Bubble Parties.

Soap bubble parties are the latest.
Twenty or 30 common clay pipes, for
as many young ladies and gentlemen,
have ribbons of ditlerent colors for
every two, and are separated in equal
piles, from which each person selects
one, and by matching colors, finds IA
partner, SO to speak, for the blowing.
On medium-sized table stands a
bowl of soap and water. The part.
ners in turn blow bubbles, trying
three times, amid the efforts of the
others to embarrass them, The one
whose bubble remains unbroken the
longest is entitled 20 prize.
Some of the prizes are painted plush
shaving and handkerchief cases,
painted picture frames. Russian leather
toilet cases, blotters, plush boxes of
writing paper, and others are tasteful
and useful mementos. At recent
party all bore the date of the even
ing in gilt letters. The prizes are
sometimes expensive jewelry. There
is always a special prize given to the
one whose bubble has lasted the long
est of all. A judge selected before
the blowing announces the DECISIONS
After all have blown their bubbles,
the prizes are drawn by numbers.
Then comes the usual dances and
supper.

The Butte (Nontana) dali

The Butte (Montana) daily
papers, which reduced their size from
seven to six columns per page, two
months ago, will re enlarge to their
old size the first of March, owing to
the promise Of substantial patronage
from the mining and business men.
These people, it is evident, failed to
appreciate their papers until threat.
ened with their loss. So it is every
where. While all the residents of a
place admit the benefits derived from
the local newspapers, they seldom
feel like extending fair patronage te
them without grumbling-as though
newspaper did not amply repay I
town for every cent required for it,

4 Lesson in Spelling.

Since the introduction of spelling
matches, many words have come prom
inently into words that were
previousl y. comparatively unknown.
for instance, we find Antiseptic, mean
ing: preventing and stopping all fer
mentation and decomposition, and
Anal gesiant: Painkilier. Then there is
Antipyretic: cooling down inflamma-
ton aud fever beat. These three
words, so often nis-sFelled, are three
of the cardinal virtues of something
that will cure fsany bad spell. and
that is Saiicylca, pronounced Sail
cyl-i-ca. Warranted to afford imme-
date relief, and guaranteed to cure
rheumatism, Gout or Neuralgia.
