and heir to the throne is Prince Will

ow writes 1.-The Germans cannot

and perfectly formed. Prince Wilhelm
has a crippled arm. The fingers are
mere knobs In the hussar uniform
there is a pocket, and he wears it be-
cause the three fingers os the helpless
member can be hung in the pocket.
Otherwise it hangs awkwardly and
helplessly in its sleeve. His horses are
especially trained, and before the Prince
is to mount are ridden three-quarters Of

A Faithful Sheperd.

The following beautiful tradition
about Moses has been handed down to
posterity : He had the focks of bis
father-in-law. One day. while he was
contemplating his flock in the desert
he saw lamb leave the herd, and rur
further and further away. The tender
sheperd not only followed it with bis
eyes. but went after it. The lamb
quickened its steps, hoped over hills
sprang over bitches, hastened through
valley and plain the sheperd unweari-
edly followed it's track. At last The
lamb stopped by a spring, at which j.
eagerly quenched its burning thiTs,
Moses hastend TO the spot, looked sad
ly at the drinking lamb and said Il.
was thirst then, my poor beast, which
tormented thee, and drove thee from
ne, and didn's understand now thou
art :aint and weary from the long, hard
way, and thy powers are exhausted
how then couldsL thou return alone "a
thy comrades ?' After the lamb had
quenched its thirst and seemed undecid
ed what road to take. Moses lifted il Il
his shoulder, and, bending under thc
heavy burden, stTode back tc the flock.
Then he heard the voice Of God calling
to him, saying Thou hast a tendsl
heart for nv creatures thou art kind
gentle shepherd to the hocks OF man :
thou art now called to feed the fock'
of God. +"

MOunf Vernon.

During the war, says a Washington
letter, while the bloodiest battles on the
Potomac were being fought, the south
ern and northern troops fraternized on
this spot. and not shot was fred nor
blow exchanged on the domain OF
Mount Vernon 1t was neutral ground.
The soldiers exchanged coffee and to-
bacco aud lolled amicably together m
der the trees. then went back to shoot
ing and killing each other as they were
off the sacred ground. The most irrev-
erent scoffer must walk with reverence
through the ancient frame house in
which so much of our history is en-
balmed. Hanging In the hall is the
great key of the 3astile, sent to Wash
ington by Lafayette, near it is the Cen
erals field-glass hung on its rack by
Washington himself and never disturb

non none are more interesting than those
of Eleanor Custis-poor Nelly, who died
at p, and was her stepfather's pet. In
one room stands her haapsichord, an
immense machine, just the size OF a
grand piano OF the present day. with
two banks Of keys like an organ. Be-
side 1t are some ancient blue chairs
embroidered by her dead fingers a cen.
tury ago. In the ground stands heI
rosebush beside which tradition says she
received her first offer. and which the
guile;ess and credulous OF her sex are
persuaded to walk around six times to

The Influence OF Symbols.

An American. writing home REQ sntly
from England, says: 81 happened to
be present &C the funeral OF a soldier,
who, for bravery in the Zulu war. had
received the Victoria cross. TIE badge
was fastened to his breast as he lay in
the cofiio- His mother. bidding him
farewell, touched the precious bronze
token and said : 1t lessons my grief
at losing him that he should take that
into his gravel
ut was the symbol to her not only of
his heroic life, but of the gratitude of
his country. 1 wondered. as L heard
her, il we Americans make as much
use as We might of the influence OF
symbols in training our uneducated
classes
A singular instance of the effect of
this kind OF symbolism was once shown
in the famous re:ormatory school at
Lusk. One OF the teachers had induced
about twenty of the boys to give mp
profane and indecent lanfiuage, and to
do extra work. for which they were
paid. But they were Indifferent and
half-hearted in the effort.
Form them into a society aud give
them a badge" suggested the superin-
tenient.
The hint was carried out. In a
month the boys were eager and enthu-
siastic in their work, and as proud Of
their prison society as were the old
soldiers of Napoleon of the Legion of
Honor.
The man who is successful in leading
hunsan nature to its highest endeavor
mast work upon the innocent weak
nesses as we'll as upon the stern love of
dEty. imaginative men and women
like to symbolic their work or sacrifice
for ths world 10 some uniform or
badge.

One Glass of Wine.

A glass of wine, for instance. changed
the history of France for nearly twenty
years. LOUIS Philippe, King OF the
French, had son, the Duke Of Orleans
and heir to the throne, who always
drank only certain number of glasses
ot wine, because evan one more made
him tipsy. On a memorable morning
he forgot to count the number of gas
es and took one more than usual
When entering his carriage he stun
lied, frightening the horses and caus-
ing them to run. In attempting to lesp
from the carriage his head scruck Inc

glass OF wine overthrow the Orleans
rule, conGscated their property Of ~
100000, and sent the whole family inI'
exile.

Almost rs Old as Fingers.

Forks are distinctly mentioned in /.
Samuel NIL, 81, in connection with the
file which was used to sharpen the
prongs. 10 the Pentateuch mention
is mace OF "lesh hoocks," evidently
n5ed for taking the meat out of the pots
OF off the pans. Ateneus mentions the
''fork" but it does not appear whether
it meant a bident or a trident, and it is
certain that the ancient Greeks were
ignorant of the use OF the fork while
eating. Two branched instruments
were found at Hercdlaneum, but they
were not known TO oe used IN any peri
od of Roman history. The Duke OF
Bergundy used forks at table, and is
said to have had two. In his time the
losves were made round, and were
placed by the side Of the carver, who
had a pointed carving knife aud a skew
er OF silver or gold, which he stuck in
10 the joint of meat, and having cut of
a piece, placed It on slice of bread
which was served to the guest OF the
point OF the carving knife. This Gus
tom still obtains in many parts Of
Europe. Before the revolution in
France, when a gentleman was invited
TO dinner, it Sas customary for him to
send his servant with his knife, fork,
and spoon. or if he had no servant. be
carried them in his breeches pocket as
carpenter carries his rule. The use
of forks was not introduced into Eng
land until the time of James l., having
been brought from Italy. Thsir use
was ridiculed by many as a superser-
viceable piece of fnery. Ben johnson

THE OVERLAND MONTHLY,

The OVERLAND MONTHLY for March
is here again with table of contents
that demonstrates the wealth of mate
rial that this representative periodical
has in its peculiar field. The raising of
the four-masted ship, Earl of Dalousie
from the bottom of San Francisco bay
where she sunk in '85, capsizing and
partly filling with mud as she sank, is
related by Irving M. Scott. Charles J.
King contributes some "reminiscences
of early San Francisco, detailing his
recollections of his fathers murder, and
the Vigilance committee of '56. There
are pioneer sketches of California and
Colorado, an account of an Exploration
of the Coast Range in 1850, sketch of
a Moqui Indian pueblo, scholarly ac-
count of the Revolution in the Sand
witch Islands, and delightful sketches
After the Hounds in Southern Cali
fornia, and Two Nights in the Crater of
Popocatepetl. A story of Chances is
bright little tale of Mexican life. A new
continued story of life on Alcatraz
Island in war times is begun. The po-
etry, book reviews and literary mis-
cellany are of the OvERLAND's high
grade, completing number that is
notable evidence that intelligence and
enterprise in California are keeping
pace with her marvellous material de-
velopment.

EQUAL JUSTICE DEMANDED.

An Indian pack train passed through
town the other day bound for the reser-
walton loaded with deer meat just killed
on the Little Salmon. If white men
were to kill game out of the season they
would subject themselves to fine and
imprisonment, and everybody would
say they we're rightly served, but the
Indian is privileged character, and the
white mans laws have no terrors for
him. This will never be truly demo-
cratic country until its laws apply with
equal force to every human being who
lives under the protection of its flag,
and to this end we want to see the
Indians brought to acknowledge the
supreme authority of the law-making
power. Legislation for the Indians is
class legislation, which is incompatible
with the maintenance of the principles
of popular government. Equal and
exact justice to all, and special privi-
leges to none," is the bedrock principle
of a democratic form of government,
while here we have the unwholesome
and sorrowful spectacle of one law for
the whites and another for Indians.
