The chancellor, while a student at
Goettingin, by his skill and strength
gained the reputation of being a crack
swordsman. 1t is said that he challenged
two students the very first day he came
to Goettingen, and afterward defeated
both, although they had had much expe-
rience. A very cunning trick, in escap-
ing an attempt made by a ''pedell, " a
university officer, to break up a fight,
is credited to Bismarck. When he was
at Jena on a visit, arrangements were
made for him to fight n duel atJWoell-
nitz, a small village. The ''pedell'-
Kahle by name-was very much dis
liked by the students, as he had often
interrupted their fights. He had gotten
knowledge thereof, and on the morning
fixed for the fight had gone to Woell-
nitz and hid himself under a large barrel
used in a brewery. He had placed the
barrel in such a position that he could
overlook the dueling place through the
bunghole, intending to see all the fight
and get the names of all principals.
Kahle's presence was noticed, how
ever, by some peasants, and by Bis
marck's suggestion the barrel was sud-
denly turned around so that the hole
stood against the wall. Several students
then seated themselves upon the barrel
and remained there until all the fights
had been finished, when the unlucky
''pedell" was released from his prison
and was heartily laughed at. 1t is a fact
that Bismarck shortly afterward was or
dered to leave the city by the university
authorities. Baltimore tRln.

Jerusalem Built Over Ruins.

AS the traveller walks on no perceIves
that his footsteps are not on the original
ground of Jerusalem, but upon a mass
of superimposed matter which has been
strewn over the whole site. History
enumerates seventeen captures of tho
holy city, eleven of which were attended
by sieges more or less destructive. After
many of these events the houses then
standing were RACED to the earth. These
were in time succeeded by new houses,
which in their turn were overthrown at
the next siege, and so on, each capture
adding to the accumulation of rubbish.
Thus the traveller learns that a compact
layer of solid coating, from thirty to fifty
feet in thickness, has been by degrees
spread over the entire space.
Even the valleys and ravines between
the several hills on which the city was
built nave been so far filled up as to have
partly lost their special character, as al
ready mentioned. The Tyropheon brook
is, perhaps, the most particular instance.
The traveller will have heard of this
brook, or read of it in Josephus, as a
landmark in the interior of this city, but
he will not find it. Nevertheless it was
10 deep that at its exit from the city at
Moriah the bridge span wa more than
100 feet above its bed, Its course has
been traced by the discovery of the arch
and by deep excavations here and there
which have exposed the bed now over
laid with ruins. Palestine Illustrated" "

O CERTALN OF II

The Sun, which is a great admirer OF
Chauncey NJ. Depew, speaks in high
terms of commentator of an interview
had with that gentleman a few days ago
in England and even quotes glee,
full approval a few hunks
from the mass Of what the fluent Chaun,
cey had to say. Here is one OF the prin-
cipal things said by the eloquent railroad
president: 1--WE have a splendid ticket,
rafting platform and a clean-cut issue,
about which there can be no mistake. We
are going to win, but | don't feel certain
about it. l am not a bit afraid of Cleve-
land. We can beat him hollow; but !
have the greatest respect, in fact, more
feeling akin to awe, for Mrs. Cleveland
aud her popularity. And then the presi-
dent Is such a lucky fellow"
w submit that the foregoing is a queer
combination of enthusiasm and uncertain.
ty. First he is positive they are going to
win and then he doesn't feel certain about
it. This of itself shows that Mr.. Depew's
mind is not completely at rest as to the
outcome of the election. There are many
other Republicans in exactly the same
boat. They are not certain about!the out
come of it either and for the very best OF
good reasons.
They had a weak, but as they claimed, "a
growing ticket to begin with. but the very
first thing they were forced to do was to
begin a defensive campaign. A weak
ticket and a defensive campaign do not
augur well for victory in November. The
Democrats are armed at every hand to
meet the situation that confronts them,
and it may be accepted as a solemn fact
right now that the coming democratic ma,
tional victory will not altogether be the
result of President Cleveland's good luck.
Back of it all will be principles of good
govern ment in which the conservative
people of the country, irrespective of party
affiliations, sincerely believe.

RATES OF ADVRRTIsING.
JNO. +. CAHRoLL. Editor
WANT 70 MOVE WEST.

Postmaster Snyder Yesterday received
the following important letter from the
Kankakee Qll.) Wooden Mill company,
which the board Of trade might take into
consideration:
Il wish you would be kind enough to
hand this letter to your paper for publ.
cation. We have a very fine plant of all
new, and of the latest improved two sets
of 6O-inch cards, and four 324 spindles
mills. and all of the other necessary
machinery for manufacturing yarns. This
machinery was all bought new from the
makers eighteen months ago. We have
the latest improved machines there are
made. Now if we can get a satisfactory
offer from your people that will pay us to
move our plant, we will do so, and add
looms for manufacturing blankets and
such goods as would be needed in your
country. We would add some knitting
machines, if needed. When in full run
ming we would give employment to from
seventy-five to l25 hands, which will add
greatly to the growth and prosperity of
any city. Our reason for making a change
is to get some place where we are
able to get the wool from as
nearly first hands as possible
and then to manufacture such goods as
are needed to supply the wants of your
people. Our machinery will consume about
300. 900 pounds of clean wool, which
would be equal to nearly Co., 900 pounds
Of unsecured wool per annum. We look
to the saving of freight and the middle
men in the purchase of our wool. This
will enable us to pay your wool growers
better prices than they can otherwise OBJ
tain for their wool. Please have your
citizens to see and talk this up to your
wool growers and people, and if they will
give US suitable encouragement we will
come out and look the location over at
once. We have several offers to move
our plant east, but we think more favor
ably of the West. | hope to hear from
your people soon. Please write to me.
Yours respectfully,
A. G.. SELLS, Supt.

This is a history of most remarkable,
startling, and novel war between the United
States and Great Britain, no account OF
which has before been written.
1t is true the war has not yet taken place
but it is astonishing and almost marvellous
features and incidents are fully detailed by
the author.
THIS war is waged on the part OF the Uni

tract with the government to carry on the
war to successful conclusion without the
aid from the army and navy of the United
States.
The surprising manner in which the Syn.

which it owns monopoly, and the ethical
cultured fashions in which the campaign is
con lucted-a wonder to the United States

forth. with all the humorous and hitherto
unknown incidents connected with them.
