BROOKLYN GOVERNMENT BUILDING.

One of the latest additions to tho list is to
be a massive granite postoftice and court
house, row i'll course of construction on the
plot of ground bounded by Washington,
johnson and Adams streets. The cost Of this
building, including the site, will be consider
ably over 81, ,000, 900, and the New York city
postoGice, which, in point of architectural
beauty, has heretofore held the palm, will
sink into the background compared to this
magnificent building.
The style of architecture OF the new build
ing will be what is known as the modern
Ronlanesquc. The government buildings
erecting at Troy, Springfield, Williamsport
and New Bedford are OF this style. The
building will be eighty feet high to the cor
nice, and above that will be a mansard roof.
At the corner of Washington and johnson
streets square top will rise to the height Of
1CS feet above the pavement. 1t is proposed
to lit up the interior of the building in splen-
did style, although it is said to be doubtful
whether the present grand plans Of the build
inG are rot on too large scale to fit within

Each colony has its own parliamentary
government: Victoria, New South Wales,
South Australia, Queensland and Western
Australia on the main land, and the island of
Tasmania; once known as Van Diemen's land.
All the capitals are on the sea board, and
nearly all transit between them is by water.
Australia has developed far more rapidly
than tho American colonies did under British
rule; and now that the vast capabilities of
the island are known, we may expect q
speedy advance from the confederation sys-
tenn to tho United States of Australia.

The Czarowitx Of Russia and Daughter
Of the Late Emperor Frederick to BE
Married In the Interests Of Peace In
Europe.
Last spring there was dutter In the
hearts of many maidens who read the &C
counts of the alleged love affair between
Alexander Of Battenburg and the Princess
Victoria, daughter Of the late Emperor Fred
erick of Germany. The stern front pre-
sented by Bismarck against the marriage,
the efforts Of the father and mother Of the
princess to bring it about, and their final
yielding to Bismarck's will, caused many q
frvwn to come to many pretty brow as the
details of the contest came from Germany
and were perused by the young people Of
America.
Now comes the sequel Bismarck, whose
cast iron countenance and gray hairs seem
to cover not whit Of romance, has pro-
posed to the czar of Russia to marry the
younger sister Of the princess, whose mar
riage with Alexander he refused, to the
Grand Duke Nicholas, czarowitz or heir ap-
parent to the throne. The cause Of the op-
position of the chancellor last spring to the
Princess Victoria's proposed marriage is now

manifest. Bismarck undoubtedly had the
present alliance in his mind at the time, and
had he consented to the nuptials between
Alexandria and Victoria his present scheme
would have been impossible; Russia would
have been offended at the Battenburg mar
riage and would not have consented to take
the Princess Sophia -Dorothea as wife for
her czarowitz -
The Grand Duke Nicholas is 20 years of
age and tall, as are all the Romanoffs. He
has been educated III true military fashion.
By virtue of his position as czarowitz, he is
ataman of the Cossack troops and wears the
Cossack uniform. The princess whom he is
to marry is but 16 years old, having been
born in 1872 She is not called pretty, but is
attractive She was the Emperor Frederick's
favorite daughter and has been much petted-
Some thirty years ago "Vicky," as the
queen of England called her eldest daughter,
went away from the comfortable and COM
paratively bright haunts of her girlhood,
the formal, aristocratic court Of the Hohen-
zollerns. So chilling was the effect upon the
young princess, and SO Disappointing dis
covered intrigue Of her young husband, that
she tried to run away, but was brought back
by the strong will of her father-in-law, as an
escaped convict is returned to prison by the
strong arm of the law. And now tho young
est daughter, the pet Of this same ''Vicky,"
is offered as sacrifice to the Russian bear,
that Germany may have an ally instead of
an enemy. 1t is not that Nicholas proposes
for Sophia Dorothea, for he does no such
thing. Bismarck offers the young girl as
wife. The usual form is set eside, and instead
of the czarowitz asking the hand Of the
princess he is put in the leap year position Of
accepting or declining her. It remains to be
seen if the daughter will initiate her mothers
example in trying to escape.

MAsoNRY's POET LAUREATE.

Tho Late Robert Morris, Of La Grange,
Kentucky.
Rev. DR.. Robert Morris, the poet laureate
of Freemasonry, began to lecture in 1887
He was 10 years old at the time of his death,
which occurred recently at La Grange, KY,
and lie is sincerely mourned by tens of thou
sands of Freemasons upon three continents
who knew him personally during the two
score years and more he was connected with
Masonry.
Robert Morris was initiated into the craft
on March 5, 1876. He became at once what
is known as 'bright" Mason, and his prog
ress in the order was steady until his election
as grand master of Kentucky in 1858. Very
shortly after his entrance into the order he
began to write upon its mysteries, and
at the time Of his death he had con-
trihl,ted over 500 articles upon them, This

HIS FAME CAME TO HIM IN A

Story Of the Acceptance Of His First Sue

Always Erratic and for Years Very Poor.
A Friend in Need.
Bartley Campbell, author, journalist and
playwright, had career full of strange vicis-
sitndes from the cradle to the grave He
became famous in q night and wealthy in
month; yet pecuniary troubles prostrated
him and he died in the Middletown N. J)
Asylum for the Insane. He was always
''queer," and some of the most affecting and
exciting passages in his ''Galley Slave" and
other emotional dramas have an uncannv
tone in them-a tone not at all pleasing to
healthful mind.
He was of such sanguine temper, and
always SO enthusiastic in talk about his fu-
ture, that for long time his friends could
notdecide whether he had passed the shadowy
line between mere excitement and actual
insanity; and some of his latest productions
contain contrasts proving the sad fact that
Grea: wit to madness closely is allied,
And thin partitions do their bounds divide.
Campbell first formed the design Of being
agreat lawyer and studied some months in
an Office in Pittsburg; but did not like law,
tried reporting for a daily paper, failed at
that, went to New Orleans and served as re-
porter of the legislature While there he
married Miss Williams, of Pittsburg, who
survives him.
He established magazine in New Orleans
which failed, and bought a newspaper in
Pittsburg, which did the same; then slaved
wherever he could get work till the Pitts

play, and it proved disastrous failure He
reconstructed it, named it 1.-THE Lower Mil
lion" and brought it out in Philadelphia; it
was denounced by the press as Socialistic and
hissed by the audience as too luridly sensa-
tional, and was withdrawn.
About this time he produced q few sensa-
tional stories for cheap pamphlets, and on
these he and his family lived. On one oc-
casion he secluded himself for week, with
barely food enough to sustain life, and pro.
duced "penny dreadful" story for which he
received $780, He then secured place as
manager Of Hooley's theatre in Chicago,
where he wrote ''Peril, !" which was almost

Taken for q Matter.

In reading few days ago of the ruinous
condition of the old palace at Versailles re-
called a curious incident that occurred to me
at the grand ball given there some ten years
ego, the last time it was opened for public
occasion You will remember that tho re-
publican government has neglected the place
until now it is said to be unsafe. The last
great ball given there drew an enormous
throng of some 1900 people, and every ce-
lebrity then in Paris was present. 1t was
ostensibly open only to invitation, but the
usual means of entering state ball obtained
admittance. l was in Paris at the time, and
in company with two companions went to
the palace. By judiciously fceing the door
keepers we were readily admitted.
Once within the great palace we were bewil
Everybody was in the regulation evening
dress, and the horde of paid attendants could
not be distinguished from the guests. In
pushing from one room to another, looking
for the coat room, / fell upon a wcazened,
small man, whom took to be an attendant.
He was standing in the room taking in the
crowd, and supposed he was there to serve
the guests. Walking up to him, asked,
briskly, which was the way to the dressing
room Gazing at mo an instant, he bowed
politely and pointed to a door, without say

The Road to Success.

A commercial traveller tells the story OF
himself 1t was in his carly travelling days;
in fact, he had been taken out of the office to
make his first trip on the route of tho regu-
lar traveller, who was sick. He visited two
or three cities on his route, not meeting with
much success, which he attributed to the fact
that two or three other salesmen carrying
the same lines of goods We're just ahead Of
him.
Being afraid the house would be dissatis-
fled, and little doubtful of his own abilities,
Lc tclcgraphed his employer, "Better call me
in. There are three rival salesmen ahead Of
me-"
Instead of calling him i'll, the head of the
house tclcgraphct, ''Push ahead. There arc
q hundred other fellows behind you"
So he went ahead, satisfied that he could at
least hold his own with tie fellows that were
behind, with the result that he made such a
good trip that he was kept on the road, AID
his salary increased. He said the idea that
there were lot of fellows following served
to stimulate him, and he determined to go
ahead aud push things to the best of his
ability, and he succeeded.-Jewelers' Review.
