many thousand strong, was entertained
at Cincinnati by the German local mill
:ary society, called in Fatherland ver-
nacular the Landwehr Verein. The pres
ident of this local union is Mr.. Henry Busch
mann, whose portrait is here given. He is
one of the younge heroes of many battles,
having seen service in the Franco ruSSian
war. After that war he laid his weapons
down and became a peaceful citizen of Gin
cinnati. At the recent meeting he was elected
president of the National KriegerfeSt. He
was educated at the university Of Goettingen.
Every man in the German empire is liable
for military service twelve years. He must
90 into the standing army three years, then
serve in the reserves four years, and finally
in the "landwehr" or militia five years. At
the expiration of all this time he may start
out and begin life for himself. Many hasten
out of Germany at the expiration of the mill
tary service and come to America
Another Court Dentist.
The most famous American dentist in
the city is DR.. Sylvester, who may be
termed the Evans of Berlin. A subject
of the "Star-Spangled Banner" newly ar
rived in the metropolis, is invariably adj
vised to seek the acquaintance OF this
genial gentleman if DESTROYS Of entering
the charmed and exclusive circle of the
upper ten" He possesses the open
sesame to all. Nearly the entire ais
tocracy have sat in his tOrturing chair,
distinguishing him as it has elevated the
once infamous Professor SChweninger.
He is as independent as a subject could
III l. - .t,,N, about n thnnnb am
peror OF the realm in which he fills teeth.
His reputation was made soon after ne
came to Berlin, and he has celebrated
continued triumphs ever since. 1t Is
something to have the prestige-the result
has p ven it no p~aradox-of disregardlnS
a command of the empress and thus vol
UNFAIRLY foregoing election as court den
fist, which a German eagerly graspcd.
On the occasion alluded to her majesty
sent to Sylvester asking him to repair TO
the castle to attend and doctor her mouth.
A royal request Is usually but a synonym
of command TO ordinary people, but not,
as il seems, to the intrepid doctor. The
imperial coach waited at the door, gayly
dressed lackeys stood before and behind,
saffon tassels dangled from the heads OF
the black stations, and gOld-mOunted
harness adorned their 'well-groomed
bodies. All was prepared to transport the
lucky dentist to the palace. But the sur
prise of the footman was indescribable,
after recounting his request, to hear the
answer of the independent American,
totally regardless of his future, that he
could not possibly come; that it was
against his rule 10 practice outside his
office; that it would give him great
pleasure to attend her majesty in his
room, bat he respectfully declined if COM
PEELED to work in the castle. In such an
august presence the poor servant became
as humble as Uriah Heep-Berlin Letter.

he proved his innocence of the crime of

ou'eaStcr, until they have definitely
settled the distance of some far away

these noble men must needs discuss,

blame, may object that all this is a
useless waste of energy; this born
kicker may intimate that if u lit
tie Of this trained intellect devoted
itself to the solution Of social prob

misery in the world. Indeed, con-
sidcring the dcgeneracv Of the times,
we shouldn MT be surprised if some
low born churl should intimate that
this measuring Of distances is all
clap-trap, and direct symptom
of the prevailing academic idiocy.
