SCOTCH MUSIC.
Its Irresistible Power - An Excellent
 old Story Neatly RsetoAd.

 From the Scottish American
 ''I'll tell you what" said Scotch fiddler, 'EIll lay you a bet of e5 that if a party Of Scotchmen can be got together, I'll make them shed tears one minute, sing the next, and dance the third y
 ''Done," said an Exeter professor whose name do not give, ''and if your music is capable of that I will not only pay ths e5 with pleasure, but will be convinced that it is the most enlivening, pathetic and best music in the worlds
 The difficulty arose to getting an oppor- tunity for trial, but being informed that number of young Scotch1nen were to dine at a certain hotel on the anniversary of Burns birthday, it was considered an excellent op- portunity by the fiddler, for these young men. being principally raw-boned, over grown Scotch iads, who had recently left their own country to carry tea in the neigh borhood, were the very ones upon whom he was sure to make hit.
 All being now arranged, and the utmost l secrecy being agreed upon, the fiddler and l the professor got an invatation to the dinner. l There were twelve together who sat down, l and merry they soon became, for the whisky | toddy was not spared when the memory ot any of Scotia's bards was proposed The nd 1 dler was not long in percelvlng that ne had got among d musical set, and he awaited 1 patiently until they were fit for anything. At 1 length he gave a wink to the professor, who I at once proposed that his friend should favor | them with a Scotch tune on the violin ssCapital! capital!' cried the whole | party. breathless anxiety The fiddler chose his | first tune. Here's Health to Them That's | Awa'." and played in solemn and patriotic | manner.
 | ssThat's woful tune," said great big 1 aw-boned youth to his next neighbor. | ssIt is that. Sandy There's a mickle in | that tune, man. It reminds me e one that's ! gane," said Jamie, at the same time giving 1 deep sign and drawing his hand over his l long, gaunt face to hide the tears which were | trickling down his cheeks. l The fiddler with his keen eye soon per, l ceived that before he got through the second
 part of the tune he would nave 'nem s.ii is i., l the same mood. He therefore threw nls II ! whole soul into the instrument, played the 1 tune as he had never done before. ana as the 1 last four bars of the tune died away Ike the l distant echo there was not dry cheek among the company NOW Is the time, l moment he struck up in bold vigorous ! style. ssWillie Brew'd a Peck O Maut."

 For we are nae fou, we're that fou, | But just drappe in our ee, | The cock may craw, the day may daw, 1 But aye we'll taste the barley bree.
 The song ended, up struck the fiddler 1T

 Modern railways are about to invade the
 Holy Land in several directions. Turkish
 capitalists have obtained concessions, and
 will build lines immediately from Alexandria
 to Aleppo, along the bank of the Euphrates,

 pirates, one of the most important highways
 of Asiatic trade.
 We publish this morning a statement of
 the condition of the New Haven Savings
 Bank, upon which 8 very foolish run" has
 been begun. Many depositors are not very reasonable at such time, but it does seem as if they ought to be able to see that they are in no danger of losing their money. The bank is ''as sound as dollar'' and has many more dollars than it needs.
 The legislature of North Carolina is con-
 sidering bill to appropriate thirty thousand dollars per year to confederate soldiers who lost leg or arm in the service, and to the widows of such soldiers who have not mar ried. There is said to be no doubt that the bill will become law, as the sentiment Of the State is in favor of it. This is better than to try and get Congress to vote pen sions to the ex-rebels.
 The refusal of the Massachusetts leglsla- ture to take action on the petition ot Mrs. Louisa s. Baker pastor of the Congregational church of Nantucket, for authority to per
 form the marriage ceremony has nothing to
 do with the woman question directly. The Congregational churches do not ordaln women to the pastorate and the legislature thinks it has no business to interfere with the denoml- nation. The report of the judiciary commit tee declared that the legislation was unneces- sary. The statutes provide that the marriage ceremony may be performed by minister of the gospel ordained, according to the usage of his denomination Mrs. Baker was not SC ordained and has not been recognized as 8 pastor by the Congregational denomina- tion.

EGse. Of Emperor wiria,n,s D,.th.

London Cable: The death Of Emperor
William promises to be the next sreat sen.
sation in Europe. It's immediate political
effect will be to bind Germany and England
together in q very close union. The crown
princess OF England will be the empress OF
Germany, and the coming emperor is known
as an affectionate friend of the prince Of
Wales and Of the queen. Nothing more Oh.
perfume for the new Tory government OF
England could possibly occur. It is ru-
mored that all this was counted uponin the
very highest circles OF the two realms before
Lord Salisbury finally consented to take
office, and that it very largely influenced
his decision. There are hints OF a second
treaty OF Windsor that had really more to
do with the change in the administration
than the vague and shadowy promises made
by Mr.. Gladstone. According to this story,
the Crown Princess Victoria assured her
mother that the death of the emperor was
only question OF a few years; that
upon the accession OF Frederick William
to the imperial throne OF Germany, the in.
fiuence OF Prince Bismarck would cease to
be predominant and disturbing element
in European politics, and that If England
would heartily support the colonizing enter
prises OF Germany, which are Frederick
Williams pet fads, there would be no oppo-
sition to an Anglo-German. alliance, as
against Russia in Afghanistan, France in
Egypt, and the foes or rivals OF England
everywhere. All this being represented
to Lord Salisbury, opened up to him
n prospect OF being able to straighten out
the foreign relations which had been
left in q seemingly hopeless tangle by Glad
stone, to safeguard the British empire in
India, to retain control Of Egypt, and gen.
orally to restore the imperial prestige of
England through the world. 1t was this
line of argument, it is said, which not only
decided Lord Salisbury to accept the Office
OF premier, but caused him to adopt the
unprecedented course OF combining with it
the office OF secretary OF state for foreign
affairs, SO as to keep the delicate negotia-
tions OF the next few weeks or months care
fully within his own control.

James D. Fish, president Of the Marine
Bank OF New York, having been convicted,
was brought up for sentence. He placed
a hand on the rail and lifted his eyes to the
judge, who said
James d. Fish, you are charged by the
grand jury with many offences against the
laws OF the United States. After fair and
impartial trial you were found guilty ofthe
incorporation OF funds OF the bank OF
which you were president You were also
found guilty of making false entries in the
books OF the hank while in that position
The verdict Of the jury was that you were
guilty: The evidence clearly showed there
could be no doubt as to yourguilt Amore
shameful or more lawless abuse of the pow
ers OF a president of q national bank can
scarcely be imagined. tits proper, therefore,
that full punishment should be meted out
to you, and in order that others may be de-
tered from similar offenses it is necessary
that the full penalty Of the law be pro
nounced on you. A merciful consideration
Tor your age forbids cumulative sentence.
The sentence OF the court is that you shall
be confined in the prison at Auburn for ten
years.
Fish did not change color or alter his ex
preston when he heard the judgment. He
showed agitation in no way. He walkcs!
from the court room leisurely and was re-
turned to his quarters in the Ludlow street
jail, whence he will be taken to Auburn in
few days.

THE NEWS SUMMARIZED.
Tho Now York Appointments.

Tho president disposed OF the principal
federal Offices in New York by appointing
Edward L. MADDEN to succeed Judge Rob-
ertson as collector, Hans s. Beattie to be
surveyor and gilas w. Burt to be naval
officer.
Edward L. MADDEN was born in New York
city in 1928. From 1859 until last year
he was a partner in the shipping house OF
Aletmore, Cyder & Co., and for thirty-five
years conducted the customs house
business Of the firm. He is the
president OF the North River bank
and a director in several insurance COM
panies. He has always been a Democrat.
His father studied law with Alexander Ham
ilton, and was the representative, Of New
York city on the occasion OF the opening Of
the Erie canal.
Mr.. Burt is one OF tho most pronounced
OF mugwumps, and was removed from the
naval office by President Arthur principally
on account Of his opposition to the cleo
ton OF Secretary Folger when that gentle
man was a candidate for governor against
Mr.. Cleveland.
