The suicide of the Mad King of Bavaria
was not unlocked for, as he has been
closely watched ever since his deposition.
The drowning of the King and the physi-
clan VINO attempted to save his life was a
tragic ending to singularly erratic ca
reer. Louis IL. was born Aug. %, lS45,
and tine grandson of Louis l., who was
noted as an accomplished sovereign and
patron of the arts, but who toward the end
OF his reign became infatuated with the
noted adventures Lola Montez.
In the early part OF the reign
Of Louis l. he appeared to lean toward
popular government, but he afterwa ards
changed, the Ultramontanes gaining the
ascendancy in his councils, and his ad-
ministration grew so unpopular that he
was driven from the throne by the dis
turbances of 1S48. He lived 20 years in
retirement, dying at Nice in 1868. The
crown was resigned to his son Maxi
milan, who. dying in 1884, left the throne
to the recently deposed monarch who
took his own life yesterday. The
insanity of Louis II. ludwig Karl
August was hereditary, as stated in re-
cent dispatches.
During the first part OF his reign the
late King displayed signal ability. He
assembled the throne when quite young
man, and he was under the influence OF
able counselors, but he united with Aus
tria in the war with Prussia in 1865,
and suffered defeat, being forced to
yield a portion of his territory TO the
victorious power. The next year he joined
the Fourth German Zolverein and en-
tered into alliance with Russia in the
Franco. Prussian war in 1870, The next
year he took the initiative IN proposing
the consolidation OF the German empire,
and in return for the surrender of the in
dependence of Bavaria obtained some
concessions in favor of domestic au-
tonomy.
The more marked symptoms OF Lud-
wigs insanity, which had been suspected
for some time, appeared three or four
years ago. The accounts OF his freaks
have been published from time to time,
and 1t is strange that steps were not
taken some time ago to place him under
restraint. While he was wasting his own
great fortune. and endangering the State,
he was wonderfully popular with the
peasantry, by whom he will long be
mourned.
Bavaria is one Of the most influential of
the States of the German empire. 1t has
a population of over 5000, 900, and its CAPT
tai, Munich, is one OF the most attractive
cities of central Europe. While about
seven-tenths of the Bavarians are Catho-
lies, religions practically free, and theLu-
therans and United Evangelcals compose
large and influential part of the popula-
ton. While Catholic counsels are ex-
pected to predominant more than ever un-
der the new administration, it is not an
ticipated that Protestant interests will be
menaced.

Blondes in Literature.

Kate Field, who had personal acquaintance
with George Eliot, describes the author of
adam Bede" as a woman of fair Saxon
cOlOring, with pale blue eyes. Another writer
speaks OF her as having vivid warm blue
gray eyes, full of depth, now keenly per-
ceptive, now dreamily interpretive, always
full OF sadness"
The philosopher, Emmanuel Kant, the sage
OF honigsberg. Is described as 'scarcely more
than five feet high. with fair hair, fresh COM
plexIOn and light blue eyes"
OF Godfrey Chaucer. the father of English
poetry, it Is declared that be had ''smalI,
fair. round-trimmed beard" IL this is the
case. Godfrey must have had eyes and COM
plexonto correspond, at least to the second
adjective.
Charles and Mary Cowden Clarke say that
Dickens eyes were "large. dark blue. exquls-
itelv shaped. fringed with magnificent long
and thick lashes, They now swarm in liquid,
llmpld suhuslon when tears started into them
from sense OF humOr or a sense OF pathOs.
and now darted quick flashes OF fire when
some generous Indignation at injustice, or
some high wrought feeling of admiration at
magDanimity, or some sudden emotion Of in
terest and excitement touched them"
Conway says Carlyle had a blue eye that
suggested tenderness, that nowhere else ap-
peared in his manner or conversation. 1t was
commendable spirit of foresight, or after
sight, which must have prompted Mr.. Con-
way to make the latter portion OF thatre-
mark.
Emma Lazarus says Emerson had clear
gray blue eyes.
Bryant had bright blue eyes, if we may be-
heve the ever trnthfui newspapers.
LOngfeliow had gray eyes.
Joaquin Miller has gray eyes.
Margaret Fuller had gray eyes. SO has
Gail Hamilton and Julia Ward Howe.
Louisa NJ. Alc0tt, beloved of all the Young
folk, has large dark blue eyes.

A Grave Mistake.

Some of our contemporaries in this
State in advocating the claims of this or
that man for Congress urge as an argu-
ment against the present Congressman of
their respective districts that they have
been honored often enough, and that
they ought to retire or be retired in order
that other men may be honored. This
argument isn't a good one. Men are not
sent to Congress because the people of
their districts want to honor them, but
because they are qualified TO do their dis
triets good service. The people want
Congressman who not only have the
ability to serve them, but are also willing
to devote their time to serving them. Men
of splendid intellectual abilities do not
always make good Congressman. Those
who make the best Congressman have
fair abilities combined with integrity and
great industry.
II Congressman proves himself to be
unworthy OF the hOnOrs conferred upon
him-if heis dissipated, neglectful of his
duties and otherwise unfit for his posi-
tion-he ought to be dropped by his con-
stituents at once. Such a man ought
never to be given a second term. Con-
gressmen seldom or never reform. Their
first term generally shows what sort of
Congressional timber there is in them. AS
they start so they continue to the end.
When the people of a district get good
Congressman they ought to keep him as
long as he will consent to serve them.
They ought not to let it make any differ
ence with them If he isn't man with
popular manners, and they ought not to
abandon him because some one they like
better wants mis- place. The only 1ues-
ton they ought to ask is this: "Does he
serve us better than any other man we
are likely to get?' Ii the answer is in
the affirmative he ought to be returned
until death claims him II he is willing to
be returned. To turn out good Con-
gresham in order to honor a man who
may not be able to render his constituents
any service at all is very grave mistake.

A sunday Law in New Orleans.

d
New Orleans is regarded as one of the
wickedest cities IN the country-by m any
IL is thought to be the wickedest. A New
Orleans Sunday by great majority OF
tie people is thought Of as a day for
pleasure rather than a day to be kept
holy. Brass bands make music all day
long for the merry dancers in the suburbs,
theatres are open, aud many of the bust
ness houses keep their doors agar.
A change, however, is soon TO take
place. Last week the Legislature OF
Louisiana passed a sunday law, which is
to go into effect on the fret day of next
year. 1t is sufficiently rigid to delight
the heart OF the sturdiest Puritan. II re.

specified exceptions, including newspaper
