BISMARCK.
His Personality and How He Addresses
the Relchsrath.

His Personality and How He Addresses
the Relchsrath.
Bismarck is the greatest figure which
has appeared in the craftsmanship OF
Europe since Richelieu, and he carries
with him all the outward signs d
majesty and power in greater degree
than any parsonage of his time. He is
taller than the late Gear Nicholas, has
a head the size of Webster's and Z
breadth and massiveness of body equal
to those of the late General Scott
When he enters the Reichstag it is like
the entrance of Jupiter among the hier-
archy of Olympus. His eyebrows are
thick, white and overhanging; his mus
tache, likewise snow white, and, as a
recent correspondent describes him.
Ibis face is covered with folds and
wrinkles, broad rings surround his eyes,
and even his forehead is drawn into
minute corrugations like the skin upon
a withered apple. His head is naked
of hair and shines like a dome OF
polished ivory. His eyes have cold and
q somewhat cruel expression, and when
he begins to speak the color of his face
changes from pale to red, and gradually
assumes . light bronze shade which
gives his powerful skull the appearance
Of FURNISHED metal" His voice is soft
almost weak, and when he has spoken
for while it grows somewhat hoarse
He speaks rapidly or with elaboration
according to his mood, but never in 4
loud voice; is courteous, though some
times ironical in manner and give
token of his rising wrath, which is fire.
quently excited by his opponents, rather
by the swelling Of the huge veins in hi
neck and by clutching at the collar o
his uniform than by any furious rhe
torical outburst. He makes the memo
randa for his speeches on loose sheets
of quarto paper with pencils more thar
a foot long and the words which he jot
down with them and utters in so soft I
tone have the weight of cannon balls
The old Chancellor draws now to tn
end of his career; his imperial master j
slumbering away the remnant of hi
hours, and when he passes away, whicl

a THOUGHT FOR EASTER.

Sweet is the story in the Gospels told,
Familiar to our ears, yet never old,
How Mary FASTENED, in the dawning gray
OF that first, precious, FAR on Easter Day,
With spices sweet, and ointment and per
Unto the garden and rock-hewn tomb,
Tenderly longing honor due to show
The form she pictured lying cold and low;
But found the imprsonng stone was rolled
And angels sat where late the savior's body
lay.
What wondrous tidngs fell upon her earl -,
'sThe Lord We seek is risen-He is not here!'
JOY strove with grief and fear in her sur
And tears of mingled feeling filled her eyes
Was Christ then, gone? Oh but for one more
OF that revered beloved countenancel
Weeping. she fingered in the garden s gloom;
And, as the sunrise smote the open tomp,
She heard hername, and trembling turned 10
The face she last had seen on Calvary;
No longer pale with pain, but, in the light
OF the fair morning, glad, serene and bright
With quick thanksgiving for boon 30
sweet
. 'Master!' she cried, and. falling at His feet,
m silence she but E Mse Sd He sae
And wrought, in bringing His disciples
word"
The earliest service for the risen Lord.
The centuries stretch between her life and
ours; -
Yet as to-day we wreathe the cross with
flowers,
She in our solemn gladness bears part,
And we claim kindred with her loving heart;
For saints in earth and Heaven rejoice as
one
At the glad rising of the Easter sun.
And still the Lord, through each of us His
friends,
A loving message to His brethren sends;
Be ours to hearken to the tender tone
With swift obedience as Mary's own.
With flower and song our risen King we
greet;
o, not with tardy or reluctant feet
Be ours to do His errands, or fulfil
The daily, common bidding of His will.
While with us yet we have the poor, the
weak,
The fallen to reclaim, the lost to seek.
The sick TO cheer the ignorant to teach,
Bruised hearts to heal with kindly deed and
speech,
How rich in service any life may prove
Which in Chrst's stead fulhls His ministry OF
love!
o, Lovel strike deeper roots our hearts
within;
O'ergrow the weeds of selfshness and sin;
And be myself our fragrant Offering made
Our perfect flower upon the altar laid.
What purer sweeter tribute can we bring,
This Resurrection Day, to Christ our Lore
and King?

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

The University at Oxford has appli-
ances for printing books in one hundred
andfi fly languages and dialects.
-Wilkesbarre citizens told the school
principals that they did not want their
s.young girls" to deliver declarations
in schools, as it has tendency to make
them very bold.-Pttsburgh Post.
In some of the rural churches in
Holland it is customary to smoke during
the service. A foreigner. who recently
preached to Dutch congregation. had
among his audience the pastor of the
church, who smoked his pipe like the
rest.
The Episcopal or Anglican Church
has in England and Wales AL bene-
ices, $500 curates and G, 900, 900 church
sittings. In Great Britain and colonies
and the United States there are, includ-
ing two Archbishops, 228 Bishops. The
number of the clergy is as follows: En-
gland and Wales. q 900; Ireland, l, $50;
Scotland, 250; Colonies and India, 5000;
United States, $500; total, 29,500.

children of London has shown a sad
deterioration in eyesight and it is pro-
posed to increase the size of type in

know if any difference in the average
visual range, as between the jewellers
in large city and those in the country,
exists because of the constant presence
of obstructing walls before the eyes Of
the former Chicago Current.
"A writer in the Overland Monthly
discussing the question "How Shall Wa
Educate Our Boys?" says; 1T is inter
esting to know that whereas, formerly
men went to the universities only t.

business men, merchants and manu-
facturers, and even well-to-do farmer!
and tradesmen, are giving their boy!

The Director of Primary Instruc

He makes a very remarkable showing

An English physician reports a case
of persistent headache cured by the dis
continuing of a meat diet, and even now
single meal of butchers meat will
bring on recurrence of the old trouble.
In that case the meat diet caused head
aches because in that individual the
digestive processes were not sufficiently
powerful to disintegrate the meat in the
natural way and its elements went into
the blood in the form of poisonous
properties. These impurities resulting
from imperfect digestion of meat caused
headache. In other cases they may
cause biliousness. diarrhea, skin erup-
tons or asthmatic troubles. When one
is sick and doesn't know why, he might
we'll ask himself the question whether
he may not be eating too much meal

gether held compensations, and they were
still young enough to expect favorable
turn In fortune. Their most important
service had been in securing the release of
the man unjustly condemned for murder.
By the time Mr.. Vernon recalled the
events of that strange journey, q new
Governor had been installed in Michigan.
His wife, like Linda Gilbert, was "the
prisoners FRIEND" and her memory
is still gratefully cherished, though
it is many years since she died.
The investigation she instituted satisfied
her of the prisoners innocence, and 80 he
was set free. Though year had passed
since this event, Mr.. and Mrs. Vernon had
received no acknowledgment Of their inter-
position. They were q little surprised
at this but not at all embittered, and
were still jealous champions of the OPP
pressed. Being genuine philanthropists
they obeyed sympathetic impulses from a
higher motive than desire to win graft
tude.
Five years passed and the vernons found
that their fortune had not been perma-
nently improved by their removal to the
West. Occasional CLEANS of prosperity
had cheered them, which were always
commemorated by great generosity to 9th
ers, but these episodes had only served
to form vivid contrast with the tenor of
their lives. Though they never exchanged
words OF repining they both felt acutely
the contrast between life as they were
obliged to accept it, and life as they had
pictured it in their bright young dreams.
Another year went by, and the days OF
picturesque poverty were passed; actual
restitution had come. No amount of en-
ergy and endeavor could avail agains,

stances that surrounded these unfortsl.

COLLISION ON THE OHIO.
A Steamboat With q Circus on
Board Goes Down.
Men, Horses and Other Animals
Struggling in the Water.

Between 12 and 1 o'clock A. NJ the side.
wheel steamboat J. w. Gaff of the Memphis
packet service, ran into the steamboat Noun
tain Girl, which instantly sank in twelve feet
of water, which came several feet above her
cabin floor The accident occurred on the Ohio
river, just below Aurora, Ind, and re-
suited in the loss of probably two
lives Tho Worlds Show
circus and variety organization, was travel
ing on the Mountain Girl and exhibiting at
the river towns The following is the state
ment of the clerk of the j. W. Gaif, which
arrived at the Cincinnati wharf the next
morning:
cit was about half-past 10 o'clock this
morning, and we were coming up the river
leisurely. The night was terribly dark and
1t was raining so hard that our pilot
could not see very far ahead. Just
as we were rounding the point three miles
the other side of Aurora the pilot discovered
the Mountain Girl right ahead of us. He
Immediately gave two whistles for her to
pass to the left There was no answer, and
we pulled toward the Indiana shore. But
second later the pilot was Mortified to see the
Mountain Girl hea ling also for the north
side of the river. He Jumped to the bell
rope, reversed the engines, and again blew
two signals But twas too late. There was
confused jingle of bells ringing aboard
the Mountain Girl, and amid all this terrible
din the show boat ran across our bow and
sank in about one tenth the time it has taken
me to tell you about it. Then we Jumped
in small boats and went to rescuing the peo-
pie. During this time the greatest confusion
prevailed. The people aboard the show boat
were nearly all asleep, and when
they rushed out to see what had
caused the terrible crash they were met
at their stateroom doors 10y four feet of
water. Their baggage and the clothing they
had just taken off were floating Off into the
river, while they themselves were dazed and
knew not which way to turn The men
jumped half naked into the river The women
followed with frightful screams, and the show
horses, which were stabbed on the lower deck
struggled and persisted IN their stalls. The
disaster may be charged entirely to the pilot
of the Mountain Girl. He paid no attention
to our sigual, and sunk his boat through
carelessness. understand the captain was
also in the pilot house at the time Of the ac-
cident."
So far as could be ascertaned there were
but two people missing from the Mountain
Girls passenger list-John King, of Cincin-
natl, the light man Of the show, and Dick
Harrell, canvas man, of Lawrenceburg, Ind.
Thess were supposed to have beon drowned.
The Worlds Circus belonged to George Hol-
land and John McMann, and their loss is about
$1,000 They have lost ten valuable ring
horses worth from 800 to 500 apiece, and
one very fine animal valued at 81, 200. The
side show, consisting of monkeys snakes and
other curiosties was entirely lost. The
Mountain Girl was worth about ~, 900.

reserved by the New York club,
BALTIMORE wants to desert the American
association and go into the league.
THE directors of the Canadian league have

PROBABLY one or two Of the New York
players will so to New Orleans to play this
winter
THE ST. Louis League club has signed Ca
hill and Bauer, the strongest men of the At
anta club.
THE best batting club in the Eestern league
was the National team the Waterburys were
the best tielderS.
MCCORMICK, the pitcher, who did such good
work for the Chicago club refuses to sign,
and says he will not play next season.
The big fish are after the little fish as
usual The mikados of the League and Ameri-
can association are busily engaged helping
the players of the minor organizations break
their contracts and reservations.
A GAME Of baseball on roller skates was
PLAYED in Cleveland rink the other day. 1t
is exciting and funny-to the spectators To
the players 1t is hruising, exhllaratlns and
acrobalic. The trick is to stand STILL and no
one can do the trick. Men fall when thsy
throw the ball, fall when they make catch
or pickup, and fall when they want to stop
on q base.
