Bismarck,s Harrow Escane.

An illustration how great issues may
depend upon insignificant incidents is fur
nished by a passage in the career of Prince
Bismarck. About the year 1850 the regent
Of the duchy of Anheit-BerHbourg re-
quested the Prussian government to name
several men from whom one might be
chosen for high state office in the duchy.
The request was complied with, and
among the names was that OF lotto Won
Bismarck Zu Schonhausen."
Bismarck and another were ordered to
present themselves on a certain day before
the regent for demonstration Of their fit
ness for the position to be filed Both
travelled accordingly to the center of tho
duchy, but as ill-luck or luck would havG
it, the axle of the carriage in which Bis
marck journeyed broke on the way, and
he was compelled to stay night with the
rest of the passengers ut the nearest town.
Next day he resumed his journey, but
he arrived twenty-four hours after the
time appointed for the interview. In the
mean time his rival had the post So Bir-
marck returned home, and in time became
imperial chancellor instead.-Pall Mall

Admiral Ammen has from q naval officer

calls "Ammendale," !" is model of it's kind.
The admiral and Justice Field were pas

including many women and children.
The first day out the recruits showed
dissatisfaction with their quarters and
with their food. They were headed by a
ringleader by the name of Kelly, a big,
burly fellow, strong and determined. It
soon became evident Chat it was the in
tent of the mutineers to seize and rife the
steamer and passengers. The third
day out they seized Capt. Tinkle
paugh as he was passing on q round of
inspection, and threatened to proceed to
extremities. Lieut.. Ammen was then in
a distant part of the ship. He Immediately
hurried to the scene 2f the disturbance,
and without a moments hesitation
shot Kelly dead on the spot An
other conspirator shared the same
fate. The proceeding was a sum-
mary one, but it crushed the incipient
mutiny instantly. A few other ring-lead-
ers were cast into irons, Lieut. Ammen
himself going into the crowd and seizine
the men. There was little resistance, and,
when the dead bodies of the two leaders
had been sewed in canvas and cast over
board, the mutiny had come to an end

The Politeness of French Children.


From an abstruse principle of political
economy to the little responsibilities of
French households may seem somewhat
abrupt depression. French children, if not
better than American children, are GER
tainly less aggressive They are not often
seen to quarrel among themselves-they
are doclile and tractable, comprehend and
apply the common forms of politeness, are
kind and affectionate to their parents and
respectful to their elders. This is relatively
true OF the children of all classes, whether
OF the rich or poor, whether in the city or
country. Even the Paris gamin, who is
considered the type of all that is bad in
French childhood and youth. rarely in
suits stranger. He may be rude, noisy
and indirectly roublesome, but he sell
dom, unless provoked, becomes meanly
aggressive.
A foreigner may 60 into any part of
Paris, or into any city or village of the de-
partments, and no matter how peculiar
his appearance, though he may be curl
ously looked at by the younger portion of
che population, should he be hooted or
sneered at, it would be the most extraordi-
nary exception. When you enter
French family the younger mem bers come
to greet you with the rest When you
leave they are present to bid you a kind
adieu. Little ones in France do not talk
too much at table. In the family circle
they are content to remain in the back
ground, The politeness which seems arti-
fetal as they get older is with them grace
full and natural, the genuine inspiration of
an amiable character. Although there are
family quarrels and disowned sons, espe-
cially among those who have fallen vic
Tins to the destinations of Paris, the mu-
tual affection of the members of family
for one another is one of the most charm
ing features of French domestic life

Tha south Durinr the war.


1t will be surmised that the south was
almost stripped of the luxuries of life to-
ward the close of the struggle. This is a
mistake. Adventures were all the time
running the blockade There was nothing
that our society ladies could not buy If
they were willing to pay the price. We
had no dudes in those days, but young
men who wanted stylish rig had no
trouble in getting it. No doubt many of
the articles smuggled through came from
Yankeedom instead of from England and
France. Some Of the wide-awake brethren
ON the other side of the line operated a
double schedule They took federal con-
tracts, and on the sly supplied the Confed-
crates for heavy cash consideration. We
even had the time and inclination to SNUG
gle books through the lines. Les Miser-
ables. for instance came through and

men read the New York or Philadelphia

thing could. Atlanta Constitution.

A baby cart which was occupied by a
child about years old, broke loose from
its moorlngs in front of dry goods store
ON Monroe ayenue the other day and went
sailing along for about forty feet and
brought up against a dry goods box. Some
boys came along and observed the situa-
tlon OF the cart and they stopped to size up
the occupant.

His hair was pulled. Tears came to his
eyes but he did not holler
"Let him bite yer finger" sug-
gested another. "I'll dare any boy in the
crowd to put his finger in the little feller's
mouth"
The def was accepted. A dirty finger
was inserted and the baby sucked at it
in a melancholy way and seemed to be
thinking of the long ago
"Glve him a marble and see if he'll
swaller it," piped a little kid.

Gross Cruelty of Austrian police

A great sensation was caused in the
reichsrath at Vienna recently by speech
from one of the opposing members, Herr
Kronawetter, who, in a discussion on the
estimates for the state police service, ac-
cused the police of gross cruelty in their
treatment of suspected socialists. and of
political offenders generally. He said the
object of the police was always to extort
confessions from those whom they ar
rested, and for this purpose they practiced
the most ruthless brutality and
trickery, keeping their victims
for months in prison without tr ial
He cited the case of workman who
was arrested on suspicion of being con-
nected with a clandestine printing office
After being months in jail, he was prom
ised pardon if he would confess but the
promise was not kept for he was sen
fenced to three years imprisonment on his
own confession, while certain Eduard
Prady, related to former Liberal cabinet
minister, was condemned to twelve years
confinement for the same affair Herr
Kronawetter declared that Prady's cell in
the fortress of Pilsen was only six feet
long, and that the wretched man was go
ing mad. These revelations and others
powerfully excited the opposition, who
kept shouting: ut is infamousH" at is slow
murderw Count Taaffa, however, made
no answer Letter -.

Noted for His Beneyolence.

The venerable DR.. Peabody, of Harvard,
is noted for his benevolence One warm
day in summer he was coming into Bos-
ton from Cam bridge. He had just left
the horse car and was hurriedly turning
the sharp corner near the Revere house,
when he came near colliding with an old
gentleman. The elderly looking individ-
ual stood with his hat off wiping the per
spiration from his brow, but he held his
hat in such a position as to give the ap-
pearance that he was begging. DR.. Pea
body, seeing only the hat, dropped IS
cents into it with his customary kind re-
mark. DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes, who
was holding the hat, put the % cents into
his pocket, solemnly thanked DR.. Pea
body, and passed on.-Chicago Living

North Pole, the journey to which will require
less than thirty days more travel, and / shall

Mr.. Glider undertakes this expedition in
almost the same manner that Stanley under
took his great equatorial journey across
Africa, which ended in 1878 by his discovery
of the sources of the Congo, and his descent
of that great African stream to its debouch-
ment in the Atlantic ocean. Stanley was
well equipped scientifically, and had already
been known as an African traveller. He did
not undertake the greatest land journey of
modern times without some knowledge of
the enterprise he was about to embark On, nor
does Col. Glider go to the north without an
experience, sound judgment and adequate
nerve His walk across Siberia, his sledge
journey with Schwatka from North Hudson's
bay to King Williams land and return, in
Guiding a summer search over King Will
liam's land, is the longest on record, covering
distance of s. $50 miles in eleven months
and twenty days.
Col Glider is a man of stocky physique,
amiable disposition, self nfdent without
egotism, and self-poised without any of the
Iam-he about him. His constitution has
stood every shock that can visit a journalist,
explorer and man-of-the- world, and his tenn
perament every onslaught that makes dys-
peptics of some and tedious narrators of
others. He goes about his present under
taking without excitement or solicitude, just
as if it were an everyday affair."

President Lineoln,s Prophe

President Lincoln's Prophetic Dream.
One night at the White House while
talking on the subject of dreams Presi-
dent Lincoln said that he had dream
which had been haunting him for some
days He was sleeping and he thought he
heard weeping. He got up and wandered
down stairs. AS he went through from
room to room in the White House the
very air seemed heavy and there was a
sound of moaning and weeping every
where. At last he entered the east room
and there upon magnificent dais shroud-
ed in black lay corpse. About it theirs
