Difficulty at McDououghville.

New ORLEANS, October 6.-At MoDon-
onghville, on the opposite side of the river
a difficulty occurred yesterday afternoon
between Sergeant Vogt and Officer Schlum'
brecht on one side, and party of drunken
negroes on the other, in which the police
were worsted, and Schlumbrecht
severely injured. Later in the evening a
squad of policemen were sent over, and
soon scattered the gathering of negroes
and arrested thirty or forty of them. II
is stated the police used their pistols and
fred at the fleeing negroes, but only one
of the latter is known to have been in
iured.

spent in nursing animosity or registering

the time will come when, trust, we shall

The present Emperor was his grandfather's favorite, and has always been more in harmony with the policy of Chancellor Bismarck than his father He is at heart soldier, and is so thoroughly German, that he is said to detest his own mother because she is English. At the funeral of his grandfather he refused to walk with her His hatred of the Russians is even more violent than his dislike for the English. and 1t is expected that his rule will not be without accompani- ments of war. He refuses to drink cham pagne because it is French wine. His inti- mates have been the Grown Prince of Austria, a very dissolute young man, and Count Herbert Bismarck. He was carefully educated, receiy- ing his early instructions under private tuition. He was well grounded in the classics, lan- guages and mathematics, and was then sent to the gymnasium at Cassel, where he was pre- pared flr the University at Bonn. He worked hard and was allowed but few privileges. He showed special fondness for military history and things mili- tary. It is said of him while at Bonn that he was more fond of the soldiers black bread than of the white bread given him He was superior to most of his fellows in swim ming and several other branches of athletics. He was much indulged by the students of the university, who consented to produce plays written by him. One of these plays, which was not thoroughly worthless, was 'Charlemagne," being founded on historical incident. He was placed in the First Regiment of the Guard as First Lieutenant after he had obtained his de gree at Bonn in 1877.

A REMlNISCENCE,

 An Invasion of Spain by United states
 Stoops That Was Contemplated by Gen
 eral Grant In 1874.
 NEW YORK, June 16 The Herald pub fishes an interview with @ prominent army officer, whose name is not given, in which the officer tells of a plan made by General Grant in 1874 for an invasion of Spain by American troops. The idea grew out of the butchery of Ryan, the flibustering leader, and nearly one hundred of his followers in Cuba. General Sraut was President at the time, and he is said to have made every preparation for hostii- ties, in the event of Spain refusing the demands of the United States Govern ment for reparation for the barbarous execution of Ryan and his men. General Sheridan was rendered command of the proposed invading army, with General Meade as his chief staff. Grants in- tention was to rendezvous fifty thousand veterans of the cival war, who were to be mobilized near New York, and the fleet prepared to carry them across tb~ Atlantic in two divisions. The idea was to pretend that 1t was for service on the Island of Cuba, but really to land on the shores of Spain, and march inland to Madrid. Both Grant and Sheridan deemed the movements feasible one, and, had the United States declared war, it would have been attempted.
The Russellville Democrat., 1888-06-21

the German armies were over the Rhine. It was the duty of the Crown Prince to invade All sace, and, by passing through the Nosges, turn the right of the French troops, who were be- tween the Saar and Metz. Marshal MaeMa- hon, with q force exceeding 4o,00l men, stood in his path; but SO swift and decid- ed was the Grown Princes ad- vance that on August he surprised and cut up French division at Weissenburg on the Lauter and on tho 9th defeated aud routed the Marshal on the field of Woerth.
 From this on to the capture Of Napoleon at Sedan was almost an unbroken series Of vic tories
 When the Emperor surrendered in such dramatic fashion, the Grown Prince attended his father to Bellevue, where the King met Napoleon. He remained outs de the room dur ing the interview, bat afterward saw the fallen sovereign; and none can doubt that his warm heart melted with pity for his fate, how ever well it may have been deserved. When the King visited his troops after the sur render, and rode all around Sedan, the Grown Prince accompanied him, and saw much 10 sad den well as rejoice his heart in those days of excitement.
 The march on Paris rapidly followed upon the tragedy at Sedan; and after the capital was invested the work Of the Crown Prince was of the kind which does not show. He had his headquarters at Les ombrages, the country seat of rich Parisian. We get glimpses Of him ron tlme tO time m ms quarters ana m action, but nothing Of special importance.
 During the years of peace which succeeded the war of 1s7u-t, the Crown Prince was engaged m the work allotted tocapable men in his sta- tion and he frequently represented the King in visits and ceremonials Before that period he was at the opening of the Suez canal and wis., tied Palestine. After that he went to Vienna, in 1873, to be present at the opening of the ex- hibition; and subsequently, travelled in Sweden, Norway and Denmark. He paid a visit to Victor Emanuel at Naples, in 1875, and attended the funeral of that King in Rome in 1878 He presided over the commission organized when tho assassins, Nobiling and Hodel endeayored to slay Emper or William. and, in 1881, it was his sad duty to witness the funeral Of Alexander II. at St Petersburg On many other occasions he took part in public business, and was always ready to foster education, literature and art. More over, he wrote one or two books-one on his Eastern tour and another on the war Of 1866
 The journey Of the new Emperor, attended by his English physician, Sir Morrell Mac Renzie, and accompanied by the Empress and his daughters, from San Reno to Berlin, oc eupied thirty-eight hours, from the starting on Saturday, March 10, soon after nine o'clock in the morning, to past eleven on the Sunday night His Majesty was met at Genoa by the King Of Italy, al Milan by the Duke Of Aosta, at Munich by the Queen Dowager of Bavaria, and at Leipsic by Prince Bismarck and the other Prussian ministers.

 By authority of William II. he assumed tenn porarily the duties of his father, pending the completion of the journey from San Reno to Berlin It has been said by correspondents at the German capital that his father and he were not as friendly as they might have been; that the late Emperor resented his sons treatment of the Empress Victoria, but none of these statements have come from reliable sources. In accordance with the custom of the Hohenzol- lerns the Emperor learned the glover's trade. His father was jeweler. His brother Prince Henry, is a matchmaker. His sisters can cook and are all adopts in dressmaking.
