Emperor Williams Speech.

BERLIN, Jan. II, 1856.
The Prussian Diet was opened by
Emperor William to-day in person. In
his speech he said: II feel grateful for
the love and fidelity shown me by my
people and the foreign benevolent sym
pathy extended me-" Referring to
Germany's relations with the other
powers, he said they were of the most
friendly nature, and with the support
that the other European powers had
extended to the German Empire, he
was full OF the belief that peace would
surely continue.

The following from the Chicago Chr
rent is of the greatest interest to young
men everywhere:
While from time to time from the
pulpit in our cities the learned diyinos
have been preaching sermons Of special
interest to the young men. it seems that
the proper time has at length arrived for
the young men themselves to take a slight
interest in their welfare. This brings to
our view an important question, viz:
How are We TO save the thousands OF
young men who to-day are rushing head
long down to the depths of ruin and
misery
TO make a successful move in behalf
OF the general improvement OF our young
men, it seems reasonable to believe that
what is to be accomplished for their ben
eft must be of their own undertaking,
Cannot the young men of this day
unite and form a league for the purpose
OF their moral, social and physical de.
vclopment2 Can they not perfect an or
ganization that, like some of the great
institutions Hourishing at the present
time, will cause each member to take an
interest ia the welfare OF every other
member
1T would be impossible to conceive of
anything grander than the idea of the
young men of each city and town through.
out the land united in societies, and all
these forming one general organization or
league Of young men, whose every aim
would be to direct, assist and encourage
each other along IN the true way of life.
To get the young men awakened and in
terested in such an enterprise seems to be
the first great difficulty to overcome. Yet
with the assistance Of the press, and those
who are in favor of good society, good
government, peace and prosperity, such an
institution might prove a reality and not
an idle dream.
81 have suggested this, believing that
something can and ought to be done at
once to save those young men who are
taking their first steps out in the busy
world-to guide them Alright. Are there
not sthers who are willing TO think and
act in the matter2''

ACCORDING to a telegraph a report from
Kansas City, Mo, a very important deci-
sion has been rendered by Judge Brewer,
Of the United States Circuit Court in
that state, regarding the responsibility OF
the state in its enactment of a prohibition
law. ltappears that a brewer named Wal
ruff brought a suit asking for damages to
him on account Of the closing of his
brewery under the provisions OF the pro.
hibitition law. The court decides that
the state shall pay him damages to the
amount Of $4,000, or permit him to go
ON with his brewing. The idea seems to
be hat the state cannot condemn and
take a brewery for public use-or rather,
to suppress it in the interest of public
morals, or for the public benefit, without
paying for 1.-THE same as private proper.
~ condemned for road or public use rs an
act that must be paid for.
This decision reaches beyond this
brewery, aud, it IL reported, even en-.
braces the distillerics and vineyards,
and other property incidentally connected
with them. 1t is 50 vastly important
that the case will, without doubt, 40 to
the Supreme Court of the United States.
Prohibition in Kansas is by an amepd.
ment TO the state constitution.

MR.. pAYAED,s AFFLrcrroN.

The nation mourns with Secretary Bay
ard in his second great bereavement. His
eldest daughter was taken away and now
the honored wife has been called hence.
Cast down by this double blow, it will not
be surprising to hear that the secretary
of state has resigned his official station to
retire to privacy and solitude with the
remnant Of his stricken family.
Mrs Bayard was the mother of seven
children, six Of whom survive her. These
children upon whom she bestowed such
tender love, such unwearied care, can best
tell the worth of such a mother. When
her work was nearly done, when the sons
and daughters, to whom she had given the
best years of her life. had grown up
around her, she was Frustrated by the lin
gering illness which finally ended in her
death.
Through months and years of weak
ness and pain she had the loving care of
the daughters that she had lived to rear
to womanhood; watched over night and
day by them, and with every wish antici-
rated by her husband, il is little wonder
that she said: II would be willing to
suffer much longer for the sake of remain
ing with you"
But the end has come, the clinging
hands Of earthly love have been loosened,
and the noble wife and mother has rome to
the other shore.
And in the words of the chaplain of the
house Of representatives, in Washington,
yesterday morning.
1--WE commend, oh, God, to thy infinite
pity and tenderness, thy servant the sec
rotary of state, who sits with his children
in a home desolate, because twice within a
fortnight death hath entered. In this
time, when earthly estate and human
sympathy availeth so little, may the spirit
of the living God come to cheer and COM
fort them"

AT the recent parliamentary election
in Great Britain many of the candidates
sent voting cards" to the electors in the
districts they desired to represent, with
directions how to mark them 80 as TO
designate their preference. A few who
were specially good looking, or who
thought they were, had their portraits
printed on the cards they sent out. On
some of the cards a view Of the home OF
the candidate was presented, and a brief
account of his life and public services.
One paper expresses the opinion that
these illustrated cards exerted a power
full influence on the election in certain
districts and resulted in returning to
parliament quite a number of men more
distinguished for their fine looks than
for their ability, scholarship, political ex-
p~erience, or craftsmanship.

MOTHER SEALS AND Their BABIES.



Taking q Swimming Lasson-s.if-saori-
hoing MISUNDERSTANDING Grief
A Newfoundland law forbids sailing
vessels to depart for the seal hunt before
the LIST of March, and the steamers are
not allowed to leave until the 10th of that
month. This handicap acts as a protec-
ton to the vessels which are dependent
upon the wind alone. The vessels arrive
when the baby seals, or ~w~hite-coats,"
are three OF four weeks old, still depend
ent upon their mothers for subsistence,
and unable to escape from h hunters.
Their bodies are covered with a very
thick layer of fat, and they are far pre-
ferable, for this reason, to the older seals.
When the baby is six weeks old it drops
its yellowish white coat, and becomes a
ragged coat, and at this stage they be-
gin TO dip" or take to the water. 1t is
very amusing to watch mother seal try
ing to teach a young one to swim prop
erly. Just as the eagle stirs up her
young and encourages them TO use their
wings, so the mother seals tumble the
babies into the water and give them
swimming lessons.
The old seal pushes the little one along
toward the edge of the ice, the baby all
the while whimpering and sobbing and
vainly trying TO resist the steady pressure
from behind. When at last it falls into
the water it sobs 30 piteously that even
the mother is ashamed of herself and
helps her dear offspring back upon the ice.
Every few hours this is repeated, and
soon the young can swim and dive, and
then the vast nursery disappears. When
they are in danger from rafting ice or
fragments of foes dashed about by the
wind and likely to crush them, the self
sacrificing affection of the mothers leads
them to brave all dangers, and they are
seen helping their young to places of
safety in the unbroken ice, sometimes
clasping them in their fore fippers and
swimming with them, or pushing them
forward with their noses.
The material instinct appears to be pc
c%uliarly strong in the female seal, and
the tenderness with which the mothers
watch their offspring is most touching.
When the young seals are Graded on the
ice the mothers remain in the neighbor-
hood, going off each morning to fish, II
returning at intervals to give them suck.
1t is an extraordinary fact the old seals
manage to keep holes in the ice open
and prevent them freezing over. On re
turning from a fishing excursion extend
ing over fifty or a hundred miles, each
mother seal manages to find the hole
by which she took her departure, and to
discover her own snow-white cub, which
she proceeds to fondle and suckle. This
is certainly one of the most remarkable
achievements of animal instinct. The
young "white-coats" are scattered in
myriads over the ice field. During the
absence of the mother the ice field has
shifted in position, perhaps many miles
being borne on the current. Yet each
mother seal is able to pick out her own
hole and To pick out her own cub from
the immense herd with unerring accu-
racy. 1t is quite touching to witness their
signs of distress and grief when they re-
turn to find only a pool of blood and a
skinless carcass instead Of their whim-
pering little ones.-New York Sun.
