The Austrian army is large and impos-
ing, but its material does not compare
favorably with that Of the English and
German armies, physically or intellectu-
ally, except IN some favorite or select bat
talions The soldiers Of Austria proper
are superior in appearance, more elegant
and cleanly in dress, and more soldierly
in bearing than those from Bohemia, Hun
gary and other parts Of the Austrian EN-
pire, but there is a seryile manner about
most of them which must be the result OF
the despotic character of the government,
rather than good military discipline.
Some soldiers from the Austrian prov
inces are so poorly and cheaply uniformed
so untidy IA person and so very slouchy
and unsoldierly in carriage and bearing
that "a locker on in Vienna" is obliged
TO doubt the military efficiency and sue
cess Of an army composed in part of ma
terial of that character.-CoL Clark in

Her idea of Discipline.

Little Fanny was making visit with
her mother, and as n guest was permitted
TO have pretty much her own way. One
day she was doing all the mischief she
could in the dining room when something
fell to the floor with loud crash. "Do
you think mother heard thatf' she asked
her hostess. "What If she did," was
asked IN return. "I'll tell you" replied
the child; ''she'd send me upstairs flying.
She don't let me do as please, and
guess she thinks you're foolish for spoil
ing me" There was severe discipline in
the house after that.-New York Tribune.

A SIGN OF THE TINES.

European countries appear to occa-
sionally have their experiences with adj
venturers as well as Hawaii. The King
of Wurtemberg has had as his principal
adviser and hanger-on for some time
past, renegade American known as
Baron Woodcock-Savage. The Wurtem-
bergers, after standing this back-stairs
rule as long as they could, have finally
brought such pressure TO bear that the
Baron has been obliged to withdraw
The letter in which Baron Woodcock
announces his retirement contains pas
some of the adventures that have clus-
tered around the Hawaiian throne. The
expression {" The Wurtembergers"-
kicked him out" are true loyal and
faithful subjects" has a familiar ring,
while am proud to have learned his
(the King's) whole soul, and Will always
remain grateful to him, and always be at
his command and service" reads like a
passage from some Gibsonian effusion.
The whole incident shows the position
of Kings in this last quarter of the nine
teenth century. That position is virtu-
ally one of sufferance. Even in such a
conservative state as Wurtemberg, where
there have been centuries of hereditary
rule, it becomes ultimately a question of
obeying the people or going. Another
century in the life of the world, and there
will probably be no country in Europe
enjoying the equivocal blessings of
hereditary rule. Government of the
people, by the people, for the people, is
a doctrine which is sinking deep into the
minds of men of all nationalities, and
once the idea has been fairly grasped
and comprehended, it begins to be acted
upon. Given government really by the
people, as now exists in some nominal
monarchies, and it is not long before the
trouble and expense of unnecessary
hereditary rulers who have become mere
fgure-heads, is found to be so absurd
and inconsequent that the common sense
of mankind demands their removal. 1t
is the opinion of some of the most intel
hgent observers, that this is what will
happen in England, perhaps in much
less than hundred years. The House
of Lords, at least in anything like it's
present shape, is unquestionably doomed,
and may fall even before the close of the
present century. The monarchy is bound
sooner or later to follow it.
In Russia, that terrible embodiment
of power and oppression, despotic rule
will probably be strangled in bloody
convulsion whose horrors viii eclipse
those of the French revolution. Mon
archy is coming to be more and more re-
garded as relic of the past, which has
had its day, which has mostly outlived
its usefulness, and must inevitably van
ish away. The little Wurtemb berg Incl
dent is bat sign of the times. European
Kings have to walk pretty straight in
these days, bat ali the straight walking
in the world cannot save them from
ultimate extinction,

Affairs at Hno.

Mr. EDITOR: Hilo is really gaining
notoriety. Another murder. A native
butchers one of his countrymen and tries
to kill South Sea Islander. We are hav-
ing too much of this sort of amusement
five murders in five months is rather
OVERRIDING the thing.
That bit of road near the Hilo saloon
is yet in process of construction. Three
months have already been consumed,
and large force kept constantly en-
ployed, consisting of four or five men,
two mules, one horse and five yoke of
oxen-all this on 300 feet of road
The cost of this precious experiment,
thus far, is said to be six hundred dol
lars. The joke of the thing is, they
have not succeeded in making a road. 1
wish you might witness the five yoke OK
team lab6kiously vending their way to-
ward the new road, hauling little two
wheel tip cart containing three or four
wheel-barroW loads of muck gathered
from the sides of the streets. This ma
terial is used in constructing the main
business street of the town. The road
experiment is far from being completed.
1t is said an ice machine is to be en-
ployed for the purpose of freezing the
mud. They say it is important the road
bed should be hardened. AS money is
plenty, and roads are scarce, by all
means let the freezing machine be tried.

WHERE Do FLIES Go IN WINTER Some
one has asked, Where do flies 80 in winter ?
This is question Of some interest, for Q
house fly is born fully grown and of mature
size, and there are no little flies of the same
species, the small ones occasionally observed
being different in kind from the larger ones.
The house fly does not bite or pierce the
the skin. but gathers its food by comb or
rake or brush.like tongue, with which it is
able to scrspe the varDish from covers Of
books, and it thus tickles the skin of a per-
son upon whom it slights to feed upon the
perspiratioD. A fly is scavenger, and is q
vehicle by which contagious diseases are
spread. 1t poisons wounds, and may carry
deadly virus from decayiDg organic matter
into food. 1t retirea from the sight at the
beginning of the winter. but where it goes

MARRIEs HIS CO0K.-Capt. John 2. Sund-

his two sons and his daughter III their
brow n stone house in Brooklyn. He became
totally blind three years ago. and the first
time that he left his house since he became
go afflicted was on Sept. 25 last. the fifth
anniversary of the death of his wife. The
mission of the old gentleman, for he is over
70 years old. was of a matrimonial nature.
His companions in the coach, into which he
was assisted, were Miss Anna M. a. War

Married the Father Instead Of xhe
Son.

The village OF Mercy's, in Forest county,
Pa, is terribly shaken up ove' most xtra
ordinary social sensation. Ralph Baily,
proprietor of Bsilys stick works, where
thousands OF umbrella handles, walking
sticks, and similar goods are turned out daily
for New York and Philadelphia manufac-
turere, was widower of 60, and is q grand
father. His son Charles is the sIperinlend-
ent of the stick works. In the Office OF the
concern Miss Amelia Coar, daughter of
well.knOwn aud prosperous lumber dealer,
has had charge Of the books for several
months. Miss Coar was Is, very prett, and
vivacious. aud young Charles BaiIy fell i'll
love with her, She promised 10 marry htu,
and the wedding was set for last Thursday
night, at the residence OF tho brides pnr-
ents. A large party had been invited,
and all were present. Il had been no.
ticed and commented on that the faith.
er of the groom, Ralph Baily, wss not
among the wedding guests. The hour for
the ceremony arrived, when the news broke
on the assembage like a thunderclap that
the bride was nowhere to be found. A note
was found on her dressing table addressed
to her affianced, What it's contents were
has not been made public. as young Baily
tore it into fragments after reading it, and
announcing to the company that there
would be no wedding, left the house. 1t
soon became known, however, that Miss
Coar and the father of the man she had
promised to marry had eloped.
Word has since been received that they
were married in Buffalo, and have gone on
wedding tour. What caused the young
woman to throw over the son for the father
s not known, as no intimacy was ever
known to have existed between the book
