as large as an average township. But the

A Dupe of England.
Madison Herald.l

England has no silver mines; she has
broad and productive gold fields, and it is
to enhance the value of gold that she is
bending every effort to bring the United
States and the continental power in harmony
with her rapacious policy. The collection of
revenue dues on importations would not af-
ford relief, for the imported would have to
purchase the gold at large premium in or
der to meet this demand, and the original
cost of the merchandise would be loaded
with the premium. and thus fall upon the
consumer. The United States should have
no entangl1ng alliances. 1t is broad enough.
strong enough to have policy of its own.
And with this in view we should encourage
manufactures and commerce; achieving
these we possess all the elements of great
power, to-wit, territory, population, manu-
features, commerce and unity.

An Anecdote OF washington's Boyhood.
Hezekiah Butterworth, st. Nicholas for January.
There is a story told of George Washing
tons boyho0d-unfortunatel there are not
many St0rieS-which is to the point. His
father had taken great deal of pride in his
blooded horses, and his mother afterward
took great pains to keep the stock pure. She
had several young horses that had not yet
been broken, and one of them in particular,
a sorrel, was extremely spirited. No one
had been able to do anything with it, and it
was pronounced thoroughly vicious, as peo-
pie are apt to pronounce horses which they
have not learned to master. George was de-
ermined to ride this colt, and told his COM
panions that if they would help him catch
it, he would ride and tame it.
Early in the morning they set out for the
pasture, where the boys managed to sur
round the sorrel and then to put bit into
his mouth. Washington sprang on its back,
the boys dropped the bride, and away flew
the angry animal. Its rider at once began
to command; the horse resisted, backing
about the field, rearing and plunging. The
boys became thoroughly alarmed; but Wash
ington kept his seat, never once losing his
self-contr0l or his mastery of the colt The
struggle was a sharp One when suddenly, as
if determined to rid itself of its rider, the
creature leaped into the air with a tremen-
dOus bound. 1t was its last. The violence
burst a blood-vessel, and the noble horse fell
dead.
Before the boys could sufficiently recover
to consider how they should extricate them
selves from the scrape, they were called to
breakfast; and the mistress of the house
knowing that they had been in the fields be-
gan to ask after her stock.

EMFEROR WILLIAM
Opens the Prussian Diet in Spite of the Ad-
vice of His Physician.

BERLIN, Jan. 14-Emperor William opened
the Prussian Diet to-day, in spite of the ad-
vice of his physician. In his speech His
Majesty said: 81 am grateful for the love
and the fidelity of my people, and for the
benevolent sympathy which has been ex-
tended to me from foreign countries. Our
foreign relations are friendly, and support
fully our belief that the peace of Europe is
sureSto continue"
The finances of Prussia are somewhat inn
proved, but it Will again be necessary to
effect loan. The loan, however, will be
smaller than that issued in 1885. The En-
peror concluded by ascribing the depression
in trade to overproduction, which, he said,
it was impossible to prevent by legal meas
ures. He announced that bills would be
introduced for the construction of railroads
and canals, as well as other measures that
would be designed to develop the German
people and prevent the Polish element from
pressing the Germans back.

An Accident Averted by a 0uick-witsed
Engineer.

New YORK, Jan. 14.-A most dreadful
accident was narrowly averted by qnick-
witted engineer this morning. The north
bound express on the New England and
Long Island Road was filled with prominent
New York business men coming to their
offices. Near Mattawan, and just before
reaching q trestle bridge 500 feet long, the
cars were derailed by broken frog. The
cars, after dropping down on the ties, ran
across the bridge, swapping the steel rails
into bits and tearing the wooden structure
TO splinters. The rear coach lost its truck
and was drawn a long distance on its hoor
beams. George Clickner, the engineer, find
ing it impossible to stop his engine, which
was tearing along at rate of thirty miles an
hour, saw that the only hope was to increase
the speed. He threw open the throttle, and
thus prevented the cars from toppling over
the bridge. The cars swayed from side to
side, but they were safely carried out of
danger. The passengers were all more or
less shaken up, b1t nobody was seriously
hurt
