The German Emperor.

The change in the condition OF Emperor
Frederick recalls the fact that Prof. Berg
mann long ago predicted that symptoms
Of grave character would be observable
at about this period, and that another
stage of the disease, which he ndi
Gated would become manifest about six
weeks later. The stages thus far marked
together with the present verification OF
DR.. Bergmann's prophecy, have revived
the cancer theory and largely spread the
popular belief therein. In consequence o!
the revival OF discussion on this point, the
press have resumed the publication OF ar
tices in profusion, speculating upon the
European situation in the event OF the
death OF the Emperor and particularly when
spirit OF Boulangerism seems to have be-
come dominant in France.
The news from Berlin is very meagre and
Of 81 nature suggesting the exercise OF un-
usually rigorous censorhip, inducing the
belief that the condition of the Emporer is
more serious than at any time since his
ascension to the throne. 1t is WORTHY OF
remark that almost simultaneously the
Paris Soir and two minor afternoon pap.
crs in Berlin, published reports OF the En-
peror's death-a coincidence which has
significance in the fact that similar publ
cations preceded the death OF Emperor
William by less than Is hours.

Pope and President,

Pope Leo has sent letter OF the most
cordial character to President Cleveland,
thanking him for the present OF copy of
the constitution OF the United Sta tes. sent
by Mr.. Cleveland to the pontiff on the oc.
casion OF the latter's sacerdotal jubilee
last January. The communication was
handed the President by Cardinal Gibbons,
OF Baltimore, who made special call at
the White House for that purpose. The
cardinal was alone. Their meeting was
exceedingly pleasant. The surprise came
when the cardinal informed the President
that it was his distinguished honor to con-
vey to him a letter from Pope Leo which
contained the high estimate the head of
the Roman Catholic Church had of the gift
sent him, and his warm thanks to the
donor for such "a thoughtful remembrance.
The epistle was in Latin. The contents
were translated and read by the cardinal
for the President. In it the Pope speaks of
the great distinction OF receiving from the
ruler OF a free people gilt which he had
never expected to be sent him. and expresses
his appreciation Of the appropriateness OF
the volume as q present. In conclusion
the pope renews the assurances OF his
thanks to Mr.. Cleveland, wishes him peace
and prosperity and prays for the Ameri-
can people and their country. the perpetu-
ality Of their institutions of liberty, and
the plenitude OF Gods favor.

Fear the Red Man.

The citizens OF Lake county, Montana,
are still excited over the late Indian scare.
A mass meeting was held, and a committee
OF five chosen to draw up and circulate q
petition to the secretary OF war, asking
that troops be sent to the Ashley valley
to aid the settlers in repelling any attempt
OF the Indians to lay waste or retard
development. The Indians most dreaded
are the Kootenais at Tobacco Plains. II
they make war they will find allies in
the BIackiset and other tribes. 1t
was only through the cool heads OF a few
old timers that the Kootenais were not
cleaned out on or about March 10. II In

prairie the people will probably put the

and then visit Mr.. Lo with an implacable
Nemesis. Indians gave an imperfect de.

Wolf creek in June last. Two OF them
we're elderly and the third was q young
man. 1t is not unlikely that the three
men. reported missing from Thompson
Falls were the same three who fell victims
to the Kootsnals.

Women and Money.

When women are eXtravagant it is
generally because they are ignorant OF
the uses OF money, says the Toronto
! Globe. Those who never know how it
comes, who have not learned that it rep.
resents work either OF the head or ofthe
hands, can not be expected to expend
ludiclously. 81 wish dollars grew on
trees so that we could pluck them as
we do fruit" said a schoolgirl. Hav-
ing all her wants amply provided for,
it never occurred to her that money
did not come in natural way just a.
apples grew. She had never thought
out the process by which it was OBJ
talned. In some wise way which men
| understood, but which women were
| not expected to, men went about their
bsuiness and money flowed in. Some
times it came faster than at other
| times, just as during some seasons,
there Is more rain and snow than in
| Others, but come it must.
1t is related by Mr.. Hieginson that
in serving on committees where both
sexes were represented he found as q
rule that women were more careful
in expenditure than men and less will
ing to take risks. The cases where
women rum their husbands by extrav.
agance are exceptional" Again: I'VE
hear men denounce the extravaganza
of women, while those very men spend
on wine and cigars, on clubs and hors-
es, twice the expenditure OF their
wives"
Political, social, ethical and house
hold economies stand on the same
basis. The laws governing us and JUS
tice, which under-lie economy, are as
imperative as the laws of gravitation.
In obeying this law there is no
necessity OF descending to that base
prudence which stabs all oener-
Gus sentiments, all beneficent inn
pulses; rather it furnishes the
meGns by which they may befostered.
The wasteful housekeeper has nothing
left for service to Others il she lives to
the full extent Of her ability day by
day. Lucretia Mott wrote her letters
upon scraps of paper, unfolded en-
velopes, and such bits as another would
have cast away. But there was no
meanness in the exquisite soul of the
venerable Quakeress. She saved that
others might be blessed from her fru-
gal store; saved to carry glad tidings
and great truths to the poor and en-
shaved. In such prudence subsists
more generosity than careless wealth
can ever show.
There is no room in large heart

THAT WIFE OF MINE.

She met me at The door last night,
All dainty, fresh and smiling,
And threw her plump arms round me tight
In manner most beguiling.
Then, in her sweet. impulsive way,
She hugged me, us she kissed me-
And told me how the livelong day
She d thought OF me- and missed me.
She helped me off with coat and hat,
And led me, still close-clinging,
Into the dining room, and sat
Down at the table singing.
The meal WAS perfect; fresh-cut fiow'rs,
The freight warm and rosy,
Made all seem bright; swift flew the hours
And we were, o! SO cozy!
Then, after dinner, she and
Sang the old songs together
We used to sing in days gone by
My heart was like a feather!
Our happiness made earth Heaven,
And now, as | rev lew it,
! recollect twas past eleven
Almost before we knew it.
We sat there on the sofa then,
She nesting close beside me,
Softly she smoothed my hair, and when
l kissed her did not chde me.
She fondly pinched my cheek, and SO,
Her dimpled hand upon it,
She whispered: Darling, do you know
need a new spring bonnet?"

Released from the Asylum on Habeas
Corpus.

Yesterday afternoon Judge Grattan
heard the habeas corpus case of Pierce
Crockett, a patient at the w. l.. Asylum,
who set forth in his petition that he was
a sane man wrongfully held there. Crock
cit was tried in the Montgomery county
ing man, and the jury brought in YER
dict of mot guilty by reason of insanity. "
The court deeming him dangerous, order
ed him to be confined in the Roanoke Jail
till he could be sent to an Asylum. He
was finally brought to this asylum. The
evidence of DR.. Conrad. DR.. Weir. Stew
ard Blackburn and several attendants,
was overwhelmingly in favor of the petit
toner's sanity now, and his sanity ever
since he had been there. The attendant
who brought him from Roanoke Jail testi-
fed that he thought him sane when he got
him and has thought so ever since. In
the asylum he was kind and peaceable.
Last December DR.. Conrad reported him
to the Board fo- discharge. but a petit
tion from persons living near his home,
against his discharge was received, and it
was deemed better by the Board to retain
him. Last week a petition for his release
was received at the asylum signed by
many who had signed the first one. Judge
Grattan decided that the petitioner &C
cordfs!g to the evidence was sane, could
not be held under the law, and must be
discharged. The petitioner leaves for his
home this morning. Messrs. John N.
Opie and Craig u Paul represented the
petitioner.
