Prince William has been we'll educated and

imagine the SNOWFALL contests in which
he engaged as Homeric battles. 1t is re-
corded OF him that he had youthful passion
for writing dramas and had them played by his
fellow students One OF these productions was
on the subject Of Charlamagne in -Aix-la- Cha

Horace. Finally he took his degree, and then

He married Feb "a, 1881, Princess Augusta

Prince wilhelm, was born May 6, 1882. This
child has now the prospect OF soon being titled
crown prince. There was a curious prediction

he would die at the age OF 9j and that his son

Unnecessary Irritation.

This should be most carefully guarded
against with children. These little Great
ures are tender and delicate and fragile;
they are deeply sensitive to a thousand
and one matters OF which grown-up per-
son would take no notice. Their compre-
hension is SO limited that they forget that
things which are so plain to us are great
problems 10 them, and, in our impotence,
we frequently show the greatest injustice.
This injustice the child keenly feels, yet
cannot reason about-it only knows, in a
dumb kind of way, that IL is not so wrong
as IL is said to be, and a sullenness and
obstinacy of disposition are frequently
produced or fostered in this way.

MY First Ride on a Railroad.

The sight of trains passing up and down
the valley every day sets one to thinking.
The younger people look upon 1t as great
novelty, and as an improvement, but they
have grown up with the improvements of
the place and not able to appreciate IL, as
we, who haye known the valley since 1t
was comparatively wilderness, when the
farms were mere patches, surrounded with
woods and bushes, when there were no
fine dwellings, no pretty little towns, no
churches, no stores, when school houses
were few and far between, and when one
postoffice served the people for many miles
round, with a weekly mail. The prospec-
tive thought of railroad being built, and
trains of cars running up and down as we
| see them now, If expressed would have
| been looked upon as chimerical, as the idle
dream of some shallow brain. and l doubt
If the thought of building railroads along
| the Susquehanna had found lodgment in
many minds, at the time of which write

mighty enterprise, even in this state, al

years since the first railroad was built II

top carriages of the present day, only long

pair of horses were hitched as before, ant

PULL TWO STRONG HORSES.
Quite a novel contest was decided at
Bright, Dearborn county, Ind, last Friday.
William Liddle, q merchant, and Jesse
Grim, blacksmith Of the village, offered
TO wager $40 that they could outpull any
two horses in the township. Steve Cook,
farmer, who possessed a fine team and
believed they could outpull anything, fro m
porous plaster to steam engite, accept.
ed the bet, aud Friday afternoon, in the
pr, sence OF concourse of neighbors and
friends Of the respective contestants, the
trial OF strength was made. Liddle and
Grim lay flat on their backs with their feet
firmly braced against an immovable struc-
ture arranged for the purpose, and with
their heads pointing from the horses, that
were hitched a distance Of forty feet away
to piece of timber held firmly In the
hands Of the PROSTATE men.
The test to be decided by the horses either
pulling the timber from the hands of the
men, or else pulling them from the ground
to their feet, three trials and three minutes
steady pulling each trial the extent Of the
contest, while the excited farmers and vii
layers crowded around the parties to wit
ness the singular feat OF strength and en-
| durance.
The horses two different times were
whipped into pulling their best, but with
distended muscles and swelling veins, that
told OF the terrific strain upon them, the
PROSTATE men held the horses to their po.
sition. At the third trial the excited farmer
lashed his horses to force them to their ut.
most, when by sudden jerk the timber In
the hands Of the resisting men and TO which
the horses were hitched, snapped in two
pieces, the end of one piece striking Grim
in the side as it broke, rendering him un.
conscious for nearly an hour. He was sup
posed to be dead, but finally recovered and
is out Of all danger of serious results from
the blow.
| But now as the third trial was not de.
termined before the accident occurred q
dispute had arisen over the awarding Of
the money, and the judges decide that a
second contest must be had as soon as the
parties are all ready and the weather per
