An Emperor At Ninety.

{ @sSW IA%4TlDun0, a drch ga. S4 KS
The spectacle OF q great monarch
reaching sninetieth year, still every
inch q king and vigorously swaying
all the personal powers OF a modern
constitutional ruler, is SO rare that
even the veriest king-hater Of Social
ism has curiosity to peep through
the hedging divinity and see how the
daily round Of loyal life is run. In the
case Of Kaiser Wilhelm, who to-day
completes his eighty-ninth and begins
his ninetieth year, theround is q busy
one. 1t comprises the same routine
that WAS adopted by him years ago,
when from being King Of Prussia he
rose to be Emperor of Germany. At
half-past Z in the morning, summer
and winter alike, he rises. His toilet
for the day is made at once, dressing
gown and slippers finding no place in
the Imperial wardrobe. breakfast
consists usually of coffee and toast,
and while it is being disposed Of, two
Imperial medical advisers, Drs. Lent
hold and Won Lauer call and carefully
notice the Emperor's state of health.
After breakfast he opens and reads
his letters and clippings from the
various newspapers which have been
selected by his secretaries and pasted
on large sheets OF paper These duties
occupy his attention until 8 O" clock,
when he begins to receive visitors.
These are mostly officers who report
to him on business matters, and two
or three hours are usually spent thus
in consideration of civil affairs. At
noon he receives military officers, and
the hour from to 2 is given to any
casual visitors who may be introduc-
ed. After light lunch an hours drive
is taken, and then Count Herbert Bis
mark, the Under Secretary OF State,
has an audience. At 4 o'clock the
Emperor and Empress dine together,
with no more ceremony than is observ-
ed at any family table in high society,
and then the veteran monarch goes to
his library for period-not Of AFTER
dinner doing. but of hard work ut
his desk. In another hour or so the
court physicians call again, and then
the Emperor gives the early evening to
his family and friends in familiar in
tercourse. At 8 o'clock he almost in
variably goes to the theater or opera,
but seldom stays until the end of the
play, preferring to return home in
time for the gathering about the tea
table at 10 O'Clock. An hour later
still he retires to sleep, and his head
-albiet it wears crown-rests sound
ly upon an easy pillow until half-past
7 the next morning marks the begin
ming Of n repetition Of the same rou-
tine. This is the round OF daily life,
which is varied at only rare intervals
on the occasion of great court festiv-
tiles or the presence OF illustrious
guests

LincOIn'S DiDlOmacy,

A New York special to the Philadel-
phia Press tells the following:
A new light is thrown upon one OF
the most famous dispatches sent out
by the Government at Washington
during the rebellion. This dispatch
was from Secretary Seward to Charles
Francis Adams, who had succeeded
George NJ. Dallas as the American
Minister to Great Britain. 1t was in
the troublous time just after the firing
upon Fort Sumter, and while there
was no longer a question that much
blood would be shed. Mr.. Stewards
dispatch was dated May 21, 1861,
and such was its iineness and strength
that it did much toward keeping the
British Government out of the great
struggle. This fineness and strength,
as 1t now appears. was due largely to
Mr.. Lincoln; for to him Mr.. Seward
submitted the draft of the dispatch,
and by him it was handled with
skill quite remarkable in view OF
his many distractions. In June of
that year congress asked the president
for the original draft of the dispatch,
but it was not furnished for state rea-
sons we'll understood, and no COPY of
the draft has ever appeared in print.
Allen Thorndyke Rice now comes for
ward with the original OF the dispatch
and a fac smile of the text, showing
MIR: Lincoln's corrections in MIR. Sew
ards copy, will be published in the
April number of the North American
Review.
A part OF this great state paper, in
its original form, is in the handwrit
OF Mr.. Seward, and other parts of it
were evidently written, at his dicta-
ton by several OF his clerks. The pres
ldent went over the document thus
prepared, and ordered numerous
changes. He directed that omissions
be made; he smoothed asperities; he
heightened the dignifed politeness of
Mr.. Seward; he changed even the syn
tax of the paper, and no unprecedented
mind can fail to admit that every one
OF his changes was an improvement.
In the general opening of his dispatch
Mr.. Seward had said: "We intend to
have a clear and simple record of
whatever issue may arise between us
and Great Britain" Mr.. Lincoln
wrote ''Leave out" "'-77sss-e
But the most important change
made by the President was probably
thls-Mr. Seward had said: "When
this act OF Intervention is distinctly
performed, we, from that hour, shall
cease to be friends, and become once
more as we have twice before been, be
forced to be enemies of Great Britain. 2
He first changed, and then struck out,
the most vehement words OF Mr..
Seward g dispatch. With reference to
England, Seward had said: .sH that
natlon will now repeat the same great
crime" Lincoln changed both the
tone and the grammar Of this phrase.
III that nation, !" said he, shall now
repeat the same great errors. Here
the President relieved England from
the inpltation Of culpable motives.

IA Novel Bit OF Brain, WI rk.

A Springfield, Mass, bookkeeper has
perfected a machine that Is designed
to aid brother book keepers and ac-
#countants in running up long lines OF
figures. He has been ct work on the.
invention since 1873, and had the
thing patented something like 9 year
ago. The machine is cased in g light
wooden box about eight inches square
and three deep, and, lifting the cover,
the interior is seen to hold an en-
amelled white surface, on which are
two dials, and which shows the brass
keyboard in the lower left-hand cor
ner. The larger dial Of the two il on
the left of the machine, and is divid.
ed into 100 sections. The rim OF the
smaller dial is likewise cut into TWEEN
ty sections. The hand which moves
about the first dial is called the unit
pointer. That which moves about
the smaller one is called the hundred
pointer. A little finger play on the
brass keyboard makes the object OF
the dials and the reason OF the point
ers' names quickly understood.
The nine keys on the board are
numbered from one to. nine, and are
placed in regular order. but also in
two rows, 2; 4, and 8 being above,
and the odd numbers below. Thekey
is brass upright, and as the finger
draws on it a spring allows it to slip
back toward the lower end OF the box.
The pulling of each key on the board
sends the unit pointer along on it's
Journey around the dial as many
points as there are units in the num-
Der OF the key. Pull the 9key, and
the dial set at Ogoes to 9. Pull the
same key again and the unit pointer
moves to 10. Pull the I, 2 and 3
keys now, and the pointer goes consec-
utively with hop, skip and jump to
twenty-four. When the unit pointer,
keeping up its agile athletics, has
reached it's starting point again, there
is a quick little motion OH the right
hand dial. The pointer then has
''dotted and gone one" The ma.
chimes Internal clockwork is more
accurate than a human head can
hope to be. It isn't troubled with
malaria, nor IS it ever larger in the
morning than it was the night before.
All the accountant has to do is to run
his eye up and down the columns,
pulling each respective key as he reach
es the corresponding figure. A day is
sufficient in which to learn the key
board, and the motion of the hand
quickly becomes almost involuntary.
The expert can run the figures in his
head and on the keyboard sinulta-
neously, thus proving" his work by
one trip up or down the column.
Carrying is performed by setting the
pointer at the number to be carried.
TO set the unit pointer all that is
necessary is to hold down key l and
turn the point forward to a number
one less than the one carried. On re-
leasing the l key the pointer is on the
desired number. The hundred pointer
can be moved in either direction.
The hand easily operates the nine keys,
thus: Nos. l,2 and three with the first
finger, 4 and S with the second, 6 and
Z with the third, 8 and 8 with the
fourth. The inventor claims for the
machine unerring accuracy and sur
prising rapidity. He says an expert
can add 24O figures a minute with it.
