Private Life Of Emperor william

The private life of the Emperor Will
liam flows along very simply. When in
Berlin he occupies a comparatively
small palace on the corner OF Inter den
Linden and the Opera place, his pres
ence being made known to the Bsr
liners by the red flag with the Landwehr
cross, which is then hoisted over the
roof. The window OF his study on the
ground floor looks out upon that point
in Inter den Linden where Rauch's
statue Of Frederick the Great stands.
Ordinarily the Emperor rises between
6 and Z o'clock in the morning. He
dresses at once completely for the day;
the convenience of dressing-gown and
slippers is unknown TO him. The room
10 which, after slight breakfast, he
goesfo for work is rather pIsiniy furnished.
There is q mahogany writing-table
covered with writing materials Of every
kind, packages OF letters, small presents
from members of his family,
and mementoes of battles in
the form of paper-weigiits. Smoking
implements fail, for the Emperor is no
f.iend Of tobacco. On along and broad
table near by lie books, maps, bundles
of documents, and papers Of various
kinds. The Emperor sits at his work
on an ordinary chair covered with ieath-
or, and receives personally all coin-
~munications, opens them himself writes
his decision ON tile margin, and hands
them TO his secretary to be disposed of.
One Of his p~eduliarities is his economy
IN the use of paper and envelopes. In
Versailles one evening he announced q
new victory Of the Germans TO tile
Chancellor on a piece Of paper which
had been torn from a letter. In Berlin
the envelopes which reach him with re-
ports from the Foreign Office addressed,
ITO his Majesty the Emperor" go back
with the 80" erased and from" sub
stituted, so that the envelope reads,
"From his Majesty the Emperor" with
"To the Chancellor" written brneath.
The Emperor's extraordinary capacity
for work makes il possible Tor him to
dispose, as q rule, personally Of the
affairs connected with his office, or at
least to direct their disposition in his
own way.-Dr. Moritz Busch, in Har-
per's Magazine.

Death Of Iuaah p. nsniamin.

Judah p Benjamin, the distinguished law
yer and advocate and ex-member OF tho gov
eminent of the Southern confedefacy, is dead
He died IN his apartments, Avenue Jena, Paris.
He had been in failing health ever since he
fell while descending from a tramway car sew
eral years ago. The death of Mr..
Benjamin in exile removes one Of the ablest
lawyers and brightest men that America ever
produced At this late day, when the passions
and prejudices engendered by the civil war are
fast dying ont, the people of the United States
will not fail to acknowledge his true worth and
greatness. To the legal profession both OF
this country and England the news of his
death will be read with profound regret

leans, was elected United States senator from
Louisiana III 1852 and reelected in 1850 He
acted with the democrats and became a seces-

federaie states from February, 1Ss2. TAI the
collapse OF the government in 1864 He then
went 10 London, whore he practiced law until
February, 1881, when he retired having made d
fortune Mr.. Benjamin was N the Jew
Jewish race, and possessed to a marked degree
the ~tireless energy Of that people. He showed
himself to be a man of great resource, and was
one OF the most vigorous characters connected
with the defunct eonfederacy.

A s,nsasionai murder Case in England.

London Special cable: A terrible tragedy In
high life is reported from Deyonshire Mr..
Hugh Shorthand, a rich barrister from Aus
tralis, had been spending the past few mon;hs
in that county enjoying a vacation. He mada
the acquaintance OF q Miss Dimes, the daughter
of a wealthy country gentleman and connected
with some Of the most aristocratic families, and
proposed marriage to her. Mr.. Dimes, however,
objected to Shortland's attentions, having heard
some ~disreputable stories about his habits,
which Mr. Dimes was convinced were
too much those Of a dissipate and profiigate.
Shorthand, being clevein address and skilled
in intrigue, managed TO induce Mr.. Dimes to
postpone a final decision until he could be con
yinced that his impressions were erroneous
and thun maintained his entree al tho residence.
Taking advantage OF the opportunities afforded
by his probation, the Australian pressed his
suit with the young lady, and finally induced
her TO elope with him, and they were duly
married. Soon after clipping, the young lady's
dead body was found IN a pond on her fathers
estate. Al aboutthe time tho body wa discoy-
cred, Shorthand, ii was reported, left Devonshire
IL was generally supposed, therefore, that Mrs.
Shorthand had committed suicide in a ftof des-
p~ondency. This view was confirmed by . let
ter which was received from Shorthand soon
after the finding Of the body. An investigation
was begun and II was soon Ascertained that
Shorthand had never left England at all since
his marriage, and that he had written his letter
aud sent ii under cover 20 a friend at Brindisi
Shorthand was promptly arrested, and his trial
promises to be one OF the most sensational in
English criminal records. All efforts 10 find q
reason for the murder have failed, and Short
land refuses to make any ~utterances on the sub
iect

Vitality OF sssan.

The farmer or gardner should run no
risk in seeds in preparing for a IRON.
Reliable seed stores never sell at an.
dom, nor viii they sell seeds after they
have lost their vitality by age. Such
stores frequently have large surplus of
seeds left over, some of which are Just as
good at two, three, or even ten wears
OF age as when fresh. But there are a ma
lority Of seeds though they may make a
limited and feeble growth, have not the
strength and yigor to produce strong
shoots or crops, So we say, don't bny
old seeds. And a large portion of those
placed at stores and groceries to be
sold on commission are of the lots saved
over from last year, or
from some seed raiser
who sells without testing his seeds after
the winter ispassed. Prof. Beal, of the
Michigan Agricultural College, tried the
seeds sold at country stores on commits
sion, obtaining lots from various places.
He found that from twenty twoto forty
five per cent. of the seeds grew with the
best Of planting and careful attention so
that thereafter the college bought no
more garden seeds which are sold on
commission. Lately we have heard
men claiming that they had seed corn
three Years old Just as good as it was
two years ago. 1t is true seed corn two
years cid will grow if it had extra care,
but nota certainly mol near as vigorous
as the first spring after it is gathered.
And we would discourage the planting
of two years old seed, if any good seed
could be had for three or four dollars
per bushel.-Des Moines Register.
