THE OLD WORLD

Prince Bismarck's speech in the reichstag
on March 2fth, absorbs the attention of the
people in Germany. His encounter with
Herr Richter was marked with unusual
briskness. Herr Richter's paper continues
to charge Bismarck with seeking to alter
the electoral system in order to subvert
universal suffrage. When Richter in the
debate sneeringly thanked Prince Bismarck
for his having spared the country a
coup d'etat; the chancellor jumped to his
feet and, with a voice broken by excite
| ment, declared that he had no design upon
coup d'etat. At the same time he said
the federal sovereigns, like the kings of
Prussia and Bavaria, seeing that the reich
stag was untrue to it's trust, might begin
negatives for the general veal, and seek to
reacquire them: This declaration has
caused sensation throughout Germany,
and fears are expressed that changes
in the constitution are contemplated,
Chamberlain and Trevyelan resigned
their places in the English cabinet on
March 9th. Mr.. Gladstone seems to have
been fully warned of their intention to
withdraw from the cabinet, and to have
taken care that no vacancy should be
allowed to exist for any appreciable length
OF time on account of their detection.
simultaneously with the announcement of
their retirement, came the announcement
that Right Hon. James Stansfield had &C
cepted the presidency Of the local govern
ment board in place of Mr.. Chamberlain.
and that the earl Of DalhOusie would snc-
coed Mr.: Trevelyan as chief secretary for
Scotland.
Belgium is greatly excited by riotous

is at Charleroi, where the mob have

hundred. Rioting also occurred in
Brussels and much damage was done. In
fact riots are breaking out all over Bel

leroi.

men began to suspect Ney'g plans, but the
suspicious were not even whispered. Soon
tho flags disappeared and Ney gave ord.

on to the bridge. When we reached tho
opposite side OF the bridge We noticed
about dozen men advancing from Ma
poleon's army on horseback, bearing flags
Of truce. Our army, which, all told, did
not exceed $1,000 men, came to a halt. The

Though most persons are sensitive about
the gradual disappearance OF their hair,
1t Is not generally from any fault Of their
own. The hair OF the northern nations
Is brown and fine and disappears
easily. That Of the southern nations Is
dark and coarse, and every separate hair
is put through the two or three envelopes
that cover tho skull and clInohed on the
other side. badness Is common In
northern Europe and rare In Spain and
Italy 1t Is much more common In tho
north Of France and Italy than In tho
south OF those countries,
Badness then becomes simply an Ac-
cident Of birth. "Why," 1t Is asked sadly,
ais that hapless being baldi' And the re-
ply must necessarily DO, "Not because he
was prematurUly plous or protCrnaturally
wicked, hut because he had tho mis-
fortune 10 DO born in q cold instead Of In a
warm country, and so was endowed with
finer hair and q moro refined organism"
Bald.headed people should, then, rather
be pltIed than despIsed, or perhaps looked
upon as being more delicately organized,
more spiritual or more ethereal than their
fellowB,-Sln Francisco Chronicle.

The PopO's Golden Hose,

A descendant OF tho famous Cellini, also
bearing that name, engraved tho golden
rose recently presented by the pope to tho
queen regent of Spain.
The first Of these golden roses were sim
ply flowers OF red enamel, representing
the natural color of tho rose. Later tho
color Of the rose was left white, and a
large ruby was put into the center, tho
reflection from which gave the petals a
rcd tint. Innocent XI. had golden rose
made which weighed over eight pounds,
was ornamented with several SapphlrCs,
and represented value Of over 10000
francs Alexander VII. ordered ons rose
at nearly 5000 francs and another at 1900
francs,
Lately the golden rose has boon worth
over 10000 francs, and has taken the form
OF a branch with several flowers, a natu-
raj rose, which has been blessed by tho
pope, forming tho center, OF this kind Is
the rose which the queen regent OF Spain
has Just received. It Is planted In a mag.
nifcent silver vase, which Is a splendid
example Of Roman workmanship. Tho
rosc itself Is said 10 DO q symbol OF the

The increased interest that Is being
taken in the development OF tho vast coal
fields OF the south has given boom to tho
sale Of coal stoves in that section Of the
country. Not many years ago there was
not single coal stove in Arkansas, but
now they can bO seen in every county In
the state, There Is not only greater de-
maud during tho fall for coal stoves for
heating purposes, but many orders come
from that state and Texas for cooking
stoves, with CRATE attachment, such rs arc
used In st. Louis, and there aro few towns
in either one OF those states where such
stoves can not DO purchased. Convict
labor Is used for digging coal In Arkansas,
which enables the operators to sell the
roduot as cheap as 1t can DO obtained
anywhere, and the result is that 1t Is more
economical to burn coal than wood, hence
the boom In coal stoves.-Cor. Globe DEM
