The death OF the Emperor Of Germany
Is evidently close at hand, and with that
event must come great changes to the
German empire. Bismarck, himself an
old worn-out man, Will probably retire
from public life ; and with him will 90
ont the iron rule, which has oppressed
Germany for so many years. There will
be strong faction who desire a republic,
but it is hardly likely that the people will
be ready for SO great IA change. A gradual
transition to a nominal monarchy, which
is really democracy, like that OF England,
is the more probable outcome,
The tide seems to be really turning
from ebb to flow, in the business world.
Confidence is reyiving. The great west
ern farmers, who have been holding back
their grain with IA watchful eye to the
financial effect of the entrance of new
party into power, are now so anxious to
put their products upon the market as tC
overburdeu the means of transportation
at many points in the West Money is
generally obtainable at low rates, manu-
facturers are feeling the quickening pulse
of trade in the increased dividend from
middlemen, and throughout the whole
country the prospect of better times is
Frightening.

The apparent excellent understanding
between President Arthur and Mr.. Cleve

ceremonies, was noticed and applauded by
the spectators. 1t was evident in several
instances that Mr.. Arthur made sugges-
lions to Cleveland, which were instantly
adopted by the latter ; and a reporter says
Inc bearing of the two was that of an elder
brother Inducing Il younger into his du-

son, and on the morning Of March f. be

House for his home at Quincy, MasS.
john Quincy Adams, being angry because
Andrew jackson after his election did not
call upon him, left the White llOuse, as
his father before him had done, before the
arrival of his successor, and was taking

with a decided taste OF art in the time
OF the Renaissance, some years ago at
tempted a colossal work. lie collected
all the architectural details, all copies OF
pictures, casts Of statues and designs Of
costumes in that period of history from
the time of Francis | to Henry w.
Each year he laid by a considerable
sum, and at the end Of thirty years,
1870, one saw in the middle of Paris a
superb residence, an exact reproduction
OF the royal castle of Blois. Every
thing is copied, from the roofs and
ehimneys TO the doors, from the gar
goyles TO the cutters, from the paintings
TO their frames. There is even the little
door through which the Due dc Guise
passed when Henry III sent for him to
have him assassinated.
To build this palace cost 5000, 900
francs. NJ Gaillard was prevented
from opening his house by being re-
peatedly in mourning. Now, at last, it
Is TO be thrown open. Three thousand
invitations have been sent ont. None
will be admitted except in costume of
the Renaissance. Nothing but this is
talked Of in all Paris. 1t will certainly
be Of the most marvellous and origi-
nal entertainments OF the age. One
needs go back TO the year 1878 for any
thing approaching it. In that year the
duchess de Berri gave at the Tuilleries

Col George Shoemaker, great uncle
of Henry F.. Shoemaker, OF Wall street,
brought the first anthracite coal to Phil
adelphia. He hauled a load by wagon,
which he had broken from a protruding
mass on his lands near Pottsyille,
ninety miles distant. People who i'm
migrated from England and Wales
knew that bituminous coal was com
bustible, but the anthracite was roth
ing but rock to them or the other in
habitants Of the country where it
abounded. If any one had tried to
burn it success had not attended the
effort for lack OF a knowledge of drafts.
Col. Shoemaker had discovered that If
air could pass through the anthracite
from beneath it would burn. He took
his load to a factory where fuel was re-
CURED and ~expatiated on its properties.
A forbidding look settled on the crowd
that gathered around him, and the feel
ing finally broke in murmurs.
He Is an imposter, the men sur
rounding him cried out. Those black
stones will not burn"
The sentiment against Col. Shoemaker
increased to such an extent that he was
obliged 10 hide his coal in a cellar
and leave the city. After he was gone
a blacksmith put some Of the black
stones on the top Of his fire, but they
would not ignite. He did not rake
them of when he went to his midday
meal, and by chance he left an opening
under the forge Enclosed. The draft
hat was created caused the stones to
take fire, and when the blacksmith
came back they were all aglow. The
Shoemakers continued to mine coal and
manufacture iron until they sold out
their interests to the Philadelphia h
Reading Railroad company.

We are not q gang of cutthroAts, with
the morality OF thugs-whatever The
Times may believe; and we are not
going to spend 800, 900, 900 pounds
sterling and kill 300, 900 human beings
over a p~ettifogging wrangle for fifty
miles Of u~ninhabited steppe, over which
but for the order established by Russia
no human being dare wander. Apart
from all questions Of morality, we are
not going to rush into a war which at
the very best could do us no good when
it can DO honorably and satisfactorily
avoided by referring the dispute to arbi-
tration.
Russia and England are linked to-
gether by destiny for better or for worse.
They have got TO keep common
house in Asia, and nothing that either
Of us can do can urn the other out Of
doors. Divorce is impossible, and, as
we cannot kill our 4 asian partner, We
had much better try to get on with him
as best we can by treating him reasona-
bly,. The solution of the central Asian
question a only DO found in an An
glo- Russian alliance; it will only be
rendered infinitely more costly and diff
ficult by an Anglo-Russian war.

New York Letter in the Buffalo Courier.
Much less notice has been given by the
papers to the death of Mr. Vanderbilt
than was given to her marriage to the
commodore sixteen years ago. That
event set journalistic pens going all over
the country and also gave employment to
the scissors. The marriage took place in
Canada and was understood not TO have
the approval of the c~ommodore's family.
the bride was then very beautiful, about
80 years old and had been some time di
vorced from her iirst husband, John Eli
Oft, of Mobile. But whether the mar
riage was distasteful To the commodore's
family or not Mn. Vanderbilt made a
good wife until she became a widow, less
than eight wears later. An agreement
was made before the marriage providing
that at the commodore's death his widow
should receive $500, 900 in lieu of dover.
She received the $500. 900 in government
bonds, and the commodore also left her
his house near Washington square. where
he had lived a number of years. She con
tinued living there herself and did not
show any desire to get into a fashion
able uptown neighborhood like other
members of the family. Her life in the
old house was a quiet one. She did not
spend much of her time in society nor
trouble herself particularly about other
peoples affairs. Her home being in an
o d-fashio ned neighborhood she was not
run down by visitors, but she had calls
enough to make the time pass pleasantly
as1 most of the callers were actual friends
who were sure Of a cordial welcome. She
exchanged occasional visits with the up
town branches of the family and was on
agreeable terms with all Of them. VIII
liam II. Vanderbilt liked her from the
beginning and showed a friendly feeling
toward her on many occasions.

1 read yesterday, two statements:
one was that there is a scythe factory
in New England which turns u IA, 900
dozen scythes a year, and the president
Of the company tempers all the scytbes
that leaves his works, because no other
man can do 1t SO well. The other fact
stated is that there is another man so
famous for making knife blades that a
knife with a blade OF his workmanship
is double in value. These facts illustrate
my thesis that we must put our whole
mind into our work in order to do it
well; the active human intellect being
superior to all machinery, all mere
training and all mechanical habit.
Genius and talent are nothing without
application, and application means
putting mind into work.
