Martin Collins, the weil-knowu insurance
man, has returned from his European trip,
completely restored to health and greatly
benefited by his trans Atlantic tour. 81
reached st. Louis Saturday night,n said he
yesterday, 'having been gone exactly three
months. Ny wife and landed at South
ampton and went to London, which We
reached Thursday, July 3, little over eight
days after we sailed from New York. That
was certainly very quick passage, and
scarcely think it can be exceled,n
II suppose the cholera scare kept you
from going to France9n the reporter ven
tured.
''Well, yes, to a great extent, but we went
to Paris and stayed there for some time.
That city, however, is, comparatively speak
ing, deserted and very few strangers can be
seen at any of the hotels. Everybody attrib-
utes this state of affairs to the epidemic
scare, but if there is any such thing as chol-
era in Paris, the municipal authorities GER
tainly keep it very quiet. Wales and the
north of England, however, are reaping the
! harvest, aud are said to be overlooking with
Americans. In spite of all this, Paris i'm
pressed me as being the most beautiful city
in the world. 1t is the picture of cleanliness
and the streets are cleaner than many par
lors in st. Louis houses. At two O'Clock
every morning 10000 women go owork and
by dawn the bouleyards are as clean as a
newly scrubbed floor. The people eat, drink
and believe sleep on the streets, and one is
often compelled to walk in the middle of
the streets because the sidewalks are blocked
with eating stands. We refrained from go
ing to the south of France but went from
Paris to Cologne thence up the Rhine to
Coblentz, Mayence, Wiesbaden, Frankfort,
Kissingen, Munich, SalZhurg, Vienna,
Prague, Dresden. Berlin, Hanover, Hamburg

s'After having seen Europe, Mr.. Collins,
what do you think of America?'

of its many attractions. America is good
enough for me, and any one who u Salts

German Soldiers

The proudest soldiers in Europe are in Ger
many. Whipping the French has made
them vain and self sufficient. Like their
master, Bismarck, they really have a pity and
contempt for France. every man in Ger
mnny must serve from one to 'three years in
the army''' said the Mayor of Dresden, in a
nversation 1 had with him.
s'Don't you think it hurts Germany to keep
100000 young men in the army in time of
peace?" asked.
"No. You do not understand the German
army. 1t is school. The stupidest Ounce,
once in the army, is transformed into a
man"
''Has a Prussian officer right to make a
servant of a private, as he has in America"
"Never, sir. Making a mental of a SOL
der will ruin any army. A Prussian officer
who would compel a soldier to do the work
of servant would be cashiered. Why, some
of our rich German private soldiers keep
servants of their OWL. A soldier do servants
work? Your question astonishes me-"
''But the officer of cavalry regiment, if
he were riding on the Inter den Linden.
would have private riding behind him,
would he not?" / asked.
"No, sir. If he had servant he would be
uresseu Ike groom. NO sOluler would nOiu
an officers horse. Why, many of our rich
privates keep grooms themselves"
1 thought of the many times had seen
our American officers using soldiers for ser
wants, and bow different is it here, where a
private will not even tie or hold an officers
horse; in fact, where he will do no mental
work. I noticed this morning, when officers
were riding in the park, that they took their
own servants dressed like orrOoms but M
soldier uniform was thus degraded. 1t is
this one thing that makes the Prussian army
the best in the world. 1t was this one thin .
General Sheridan thought that made the vic
tory at Sedan. General Sheridan, stop the
use of our soldiers as servants and our army
will be different army. Chicago Tribune

A MEMORY.

Within her fragrant rustic bower,
Beneath wealth of wavy hair,
She sat and charmed the star-lit hour
With eyes of love, while everywhere,
With regal grace, serene and bright,
Brooded the coroneted night.
The lkaIydd sang loud and well
Wien stars were out and daylight gone,
When elfn buglers in the dell
Blew carols on the poppy horn,
And night winds bore the stolen tune
TO the fairy footed moon.
Her presence blessed the conscious night,
Her signs were pilfered by the breeze
/ That came in sly, maraudng flight
Though folded flowers and trembling trees;
Her murmured cadences, so sweet,
Delayed the Vest winis airy feet.
And now the young wind breathes her name;
The twilight time recalls her eyes
Thar put the vesper star TO shame;
Her soul is mirrored in the skies;
The spirit of her gentle moods
Dweils in the nights sweet solitudes.

THE London Times SAYS at the present
rather grave juncture, few facts respecting
the sanitary arrangements of the French
capital may prove of interest, as shown in an
able work recently issued by NJ. WAGON.
The total available daily supply of water is
about 100, 900, 600 gallons, which for a popu-
lation of between $3.50, 900 and ., 500, 600. he
consideres quite inadequate. Between 1876
and 1881 the number of inhabitants rose
1,9SS, 900 to :, 240 900, at which rate of in
crease it will be probably $500, 600 in 1886
the supply of water would then be about 40
gallons per head per diem. This is higher
proportion than Londoners obtain, but is
far inferior to the supply of Marseilles, which
enjoys $50 gallons 4 head per day. Although
the eesspool system still exists in the city, the
commissioners proposed in 1881 a temporary
improvement in the use of metallic cessuools
containing from 90 to 200 feet cube, to be
emptied by the pressure of the air; but the
cost of emptying these weekly would be en-
ormous, irrespective of the expense of pro-
viding and fixing a cesspool receptacle. The
amount Of household aud street refuse per
day in Paris is :, 900 cubic metres, or 54.-
600 cubic feet, which is removed by 600
carts. The rate for this expenditure varies
froA Id to I'd per lineal yard Of building
frontage, and in 1880 produced e104, 600,
the whole cost of cleansing being e2I2, 600.
All houses in Paris are obliged TO deliver the
rain water and household waste Ito the sew
ers, the municipality providing that every
street less than 90 feet wide must have one
sewer, and that streets over that width must
have one sewer ON each side of the way.

Blaine HOt,eS5y

Rochester Union and Advertiserl
Blaine honest! ANY smart school boy
ought TO know better, after reading the Null
ligan letters. Senator Edmunds, the ablest
Republican statesman in congress, and as
incorrupttble as honest, has often said that
Blaine is dishonest, and he has never eaten
the words and never will The late Senator
Morrill,, the ablest man that Maine ever sent
to congress, and man whose purity of life
and honesty of purpose were never ques-
toned, knew and said that Blaine was dis
honest, and that ne came and begged that he
would save him from the consequences of
his dishonesty; and Mrs. Morrill,, who pos
sesses wiiely knowledge of her late husbands
mind, now emphasizes his opinions con-
corning Blaine. Mr.. Mulligan, who has the
reputation at home, in Boston, of being a
man of uncommon verscity, says Blaine
came to him and was abject In begging for
the letters he bad written to Fisher, because
he believed they would ruin his reputation if
published. Nobody knew and knows that
Mulligan was dishonest as well as Blaine.
There is hardly a man who was well
acquainted with Blaine in congress, who does
not believe he was crooked and labored rather
as paid agent for corporations than servant
of the people.

Till on the cleaning Babys laughter rings.
Then smiling Day awakes and open filings
Her golden doors to speed the shining flight
OF restless hours, gay children of the light
Each eager playfeliow to Baby brings
Some separate gift; fitting bird that sings
With her; a waving branch of berries bright;
A heap of rustling leaves; each triie cheers
Thus JOYOUS little life but Just begun.
No weary hour to her brings signs or tears;
And when the shadows warn the lettering sun,
With blossoms il her hands. untouched by fear
She softly fals asleep. and day is done.

LATE advices from Vienna announce that
Fanny Elsscr the world-famed danseuse
is dying. She was born in Vienna June %,
1910. Her father, Johan Elssler, was a me-
diocre musician, who had her trained at first
as singer. She, however, much against
his will, insisted upon entering ballet school
and at the age of fifteen came out on the
stage at Naples where she made great hit,
and was engaged for two years. From there
she returned to Vienna and became the
reigning queen of the ballet. She was a
revelation in chirogrphic art. Her only rival
was Taglioni, who holly contested the palm
with her. Elssler's conquests included
Kings Princes and people of the highest de-
gree generally. That famous American, the
Chevaler Wikoff, cheekily entered the lists,
however in Paris, and in 1888 bore her off
from such rival as the Duke of Reich
stadt, the son of Napoleon l. Wikoff got
her to throw up all her brilliant engagements
and go with him to America, where she
danced through the seasons 1S40-41 under
his management, beginning at the old Park
in that city.
She retired from the stage in a farewell
performance given at Vienna on June 81,
1861. She was a very beautiful woman to
the end of her days.

STRANGE as it may seem Winnipeg is fur
nishing a contingent for the British army in
the Soudan. A correspondent of the Lon
don Pail Nal Gazette, writing from Winnipeg
early in September, gives the following in
tcresting particulars:
"a scene took place yesterday in Winni-
peg that certainly gave an onlooker food for
reflection, and would have thrilled the pulses
of an Imperial Federatonist. Something like
1000 people crowded on the platform of the
station in the evening to bid farewell to sew
enty-fve Manitobans, who were bound for
Wolseley's army in the Soudan. There was
considerable enthusiasm and much hurrah-
ing and shaking of hands as the two cars full
of embryo campaigners rolled out towards the
Red River. IL seemed strange thing to
stand upon a spot that hut yesterday was q
desert prairie, crossed by few Indian and
half breed trails, and fud oneself carried off
ones feet by a surglng and a shouting throng
of stalwart Anglo-Saxons leaving a new city
behind them to fight for England in the East.
! say fight, but of course these Manitobans
are part OF the Canadian contingent OF 600
vOyageurs destined to assist in overcoming
the rapids OF the Nile. This Winnipeg de-
tachment is by no means composed entirely
of ''riyer drivers" or half-breeds. Several
members of the junior bar of the city might
have been seen in the ranks Of the Egyptian
detachment paddle in hand. From Manitoba
to the Soudan is such far cry in every sense
of the wo-d that it required almost a mental
effort TO realize the scene that was taking
place. The scarlet Dragon uniforms of the
mounted police standing amid the crowd,
the occasional strains of martial and patriotic
airs, and the stalwart British look of the as
sembled thousands, helped one, however, to
get over the strangeness of the surroundings
of such a scene.n

sters, kind of porridge made from ground
beechnuts, which is taken at breakfast with
fish or curdled milk, at dinner with broth or
fried ivrd, and with milk again for supper.
This sterz is also known as heiden, and takes
the place Of bread, not only in the Steermark,
but in Carinthia aud in many parts of the
Tyrol. In the north of Italy the peasantry
live chiefly on poeEta, porrdge made Of
boiled maize. The poleutA however, is not
allowed to grapuate like Scotch pcrridge or
like Austrian sterz, but is boiled into solid
pudding. which is cut up and portioned out
with string. 1t is eaten cold as often as it
is hot, and it is in every sense the Italian
peasants daily bread. The modern Rou-
manians are held by many scholars to be
descended from a Roman colony, i'll other
words to be the cousins of the Italians; and,
curiously enough, variation of the polenta
called mamaliga is the national dish of Rou-
mania The mamaliga is like the poleuta in
that it is made of boiled maize, but it is un-
like the latter in one important respect, as
the grains are not allowed to settle into a
solid mass, but are kept distinct, after the
fashion of oatmeal porridge.

If people generally knew what an advan-
tage to them it was to be cheerful, there
would be fewer sour faces in the world and
Intimately less iD-temper. A man never
gains anything by exhibiting mis- annoyance
by his face, much less by bursting into pas
sion. As it is neither manly nor wise to
to yield like a child pettishly to every cross,
so it is alike foolish and absurd to allow
feelings of anger to deprive US of self con-
troll. There never was man in any contro-
versy who lost his temper who did not come
near losing his cause in consequence IF
ever person plays the game of his enemies
it is when he is in passion. Acquaiutan-
ces shun men of proverbially ill-temper;
friends drop away from them; even wives
and children gradually learn to fear them
more than to love. Thousands of men owe
their want of success in life to neglectng the
control of their temper. Nor have they the
excuse that is an infirmity which cannot be
restrained; for Washington, though natur-
ally of a most passionate disposition. disci-
plined himself until he passed for a person
utterly inpassive. No man who neglects
his temper can be happy any more than he
can make those happy around. Good tenn
is gold, is beyond price. Bad temper is a
curse to the possessor and to society.
