The close Of the Nineteenth century
promises or threatens to be period of
petticoat government. A probable en-
press-queen is growing up in Austria,
there is a regent in Spain, and next a
baby king afflicted with a nervous dis
ease. Two healthier children, girls both,
stand in the order of succession. The
heiress apparent to the throne of the
Netherlands is girl. Said to me an ex-
minister to the court Of St. Petersburg,
1.-The cars two sons are malingres ct
chetifs, and there is prospect of a
czarina in her own right" The impe-
rial crown of Brazil must soon fall to the
crown princess, a woman of moral
stamina and fine emotions. She has
carried, against high and threatening
tide Of opposition, the abolition of slavery.
1t is to correct the feeble constitution
of the czarewitch that the car has been
brought to entertain the idea Of marry
ing him to young lady Of hardy
mountain race not consanguine in any
degree with him Her offspring, if she
had any, might be an improvement on
the existing Romanoffs. The Montene-
grin princess and the czarewitch would
form such couple as Mary Stuart and
Francis Ii. The queen Of Greece, the
same diplomatist tells me, has gone to
st. Petersburg to induce the car to pre-
fer her daughter to the princess from the
Black mountain. Review

the share is now worth sSS.52. In four

Theodore Thomas as q Lender.

Mr. Milward Adams, the manager Of
the SIMMER nights concerts, knows a
good deal about Mr.. Thomas. IF you
viii call upon him." said Mr.. Adams, ''as
you would on any neighbor or citizen. you
would find him abreast Of the times ON all
that interests the public. He is suave
and consequently obliging He is at home
in litersture and art and all that tends to
finish a man in this generation. But if
you talk music to him he will most likely
withdraw In manner which will cause q
change of the topic"
ANY one who has watched Mr. Thomas
at one Of his concerts need not be told
that he is the master and that the men,
bers Of his orchestra know that and act
accordingly. The moment he raises his
baton that moment every man before him
has one eye on him aud the other on the
score. Every body is drawn at a precise
angle. Every instrument is placed where
the master has indicated that 1t should
be placed. When the programme is
finished the man who arranged it steps
from his PEDESTAL and disappears. He
does not turn around and bow to his
audience. He has presumed upon their
intelligence to the extent that they know
when the programme is finished. They
have listened to it. He has done his duty
and he has no more to do. He is on his
way home before the lights have been
turned out. He has not fingered to receive
any encolniums. He has nothing to do
with the claque. His home is not at the
hotel where hewould appear to be on dress
parade. II is in the quiet retreat of
private residence and there he rests.

Where tho Nutmeg Grows.

Padding into little cove on the south
ade of the bay, we landed beside clear
dppling stream, and, having ordered the
whole Of the men to march in Indian flo
In front, we started by little rugged
path into the mountains, with my inter-
prefer Immediately behind me and the
rajah just in front. Every foot of the
journey, which was laborious in the
extreme, disclosed fresh scenes of YER
dure and tropical splendor. Winding
along the sides of deep ravines, some
times dragging ourselves up by the
creepers and underground, we ultimately,
attained an altitude of about 1 200 feet
above the sea and then entered the nut
meg country. Here we halted and
rested. The rajah pulled some of the
nutmegs and explained how far they
were from being ripe.
Having rested sufficiently we again
started forward, and after scrambling
along for about an hour we gained fine
piece of tableland, over which we trav-
eled for about another half an hour, when
we reached three houses erected in the
very heart of the forest. These were
used by the natives for drying the nut
megs. The country was everywhere
magnificent and the aroma of the spice
laden air delicious. Nutmeg and other
equally valuable trees were everywhere
growing in great profusion. The fruit
of the nutmeg in appearance resembles
a pear, and when ripe opens and displays
the nut covered with a beautiful red
coating of mace. The nuts are then
picked from the trees, put into baskets
and taken to the houses, where they are
husked and placed on shelves. They are
then partially roasted over slow fire
until all the moisture is extracted. After
this they are cooled and carried down to
the village in nets ready to be bartered
to the Bugis, Arabs and other traders
who frequent the gulf in their small
prows or junkos ct the proper season.

Dutch Force and Character.

The Dutch mind and the Dutch force
and the Dutch character have never yet
received their just award of appreciation.
Somehow people have absorbed the idea,
and that through English colored spec
tacles, that the Dutchman was stolid,
phlegmatic, unaspiring and lacking in
push, go and vigor. The Dutchman may
not have rushed around like headless
hen, using up his strength in doing
things that amounted to nothing. He
may have sat in his several ten breeches
and meditated, pipe in mouth, but when
he got up he put his finger where it did
the most good. He fought the ocean
successfully for centuries. He has made
his gardens below the oceans level. He
was bold explorer. He traded and set
tied in Africa and Japan generations be-
fore other nations
He was terrible fighter on the seas.
He once swept through tpe English chan

A Paradise for Bankers.

Manghooria appears to be the paradise
Of bankers. Our consul in Newchwang
says that it is well known wealthy man
darins and merchants, not caring for
their wealth to be known, make deposits
with bankers without taking receipts,
and that it is curious fact that rather
than risk the loss of capital SO deposited
by its becoming known to the paternal
government, to whom probably such
capital rightly belongs, no interest is de-
rived from such deposits, except Of course
for the bankers own investments. At
the death of depositor his heir may not
know that 100, 900 taels. more or less,
are deposited in some bank or other.
From such causes as these, says this au-
thority, native bankers become very rich
