CLOUDS ALREADY.

1t will be motto d by reference to the
dispatches in to.day's HERALD that the
comments of the French press upon |
the orders of William II OF Germany
are very significant. 1t may easily be
inferred that anything concerning Ger
many coming from French source is
most likely tinged with bitterness, but
in this particular instance it does not
seem to be altogether natural Sc.
quence since, what is saidEs about the
burden OF what has appeared
in nearly all the papers of con-
sequence outside of Germany. in
Europe. and vast majority of those on
this side of the Atlantic. The fact is
that Europe, through the decease OF
Frederick III, has entered upon a
period more critical than any through
which it has passed since the first
Ma oleon crossed the Alps. This is
saying q great deal. because within that
time boundaries have been erased, new
governments have sprung into existence,
powers that had great standing have
been curtailed and subdivisions
have been completely wiped out or so
reformed that those who knew them
then would not know them now unless
their watch has been constant and con-
tinuous. The cause of this newly-born
crisis is found in what the papers, and
consequently the people, abroad have
to say. They are contrasting the Or
ders OF the youthful ruler who has just
assembled the throne with those of his
father and grandfather, aud wondering
what the great change in sentiment por-
tends. knowing as they do. ana as we all
do, hat the personality of the reignirg
power in the German Empire is hot
blooded, hottie AIDED and measurably
unrestrained, unsparlng in his hostility
toward France and vigorous in his
denunclation of the nation which gave
his mother birth; they may well con-
slider the situation with due reference
to its gravity and It's consequences. He
is reputed to be on good terms with
Bismarck, which may be fortunate for
him, since he will have the
sincere good wishes and earnest
assistance of that great diplomat and
warrior; but it does not contribute
greatly toward Strengthening the hopes
of those who prefer peace for an indefi-
mite length of time, with just and cor
rect understanding throughout the
powers of Europe.

of a loyal people ascending as

1t would seem to be almost
sacrilegious to speculate upon what his
successor may or may not do; and yet
it can scarcely be avoided. Certainly

points we have herein sketched,
but has already gone and threatens to
60 still further even. Thurman is un-
dergoing investigation. 1t has been
ascertained that during the war he and
his wife furnished little delicacies to
wounded Confederate prisoners ada
cent to their residence, and as the
.ecord-searchers were unable to find
that any baskets. cans or kegs found
their ways from the hands of the Thur
mans to the Federal soldiers in like cir
cumstances. of course the old man
was disloyal. This is hard. 1t
is tiresome. If that is the strongest
hold the already scattered remnants of
Republicanism have to base hope
upon, their cause is more desperate
than even the most uncompromisipg
and unthinking Democrat has yet as
serted it to te. The complaint is de-
murrabIe, because if it be true (Which,
as is customary in the case of a pre-
JUDGED accusation. is doubtfuD it still
does not constitute an offense.
The war is over and we are
not fighting rebels now. We

Cure for BiliOusness,

First, on getting UP and going to
bed drink plenty or cold water, Eat
for breakfast, until the bilious attack
passes, a little stale bread, say one
slice, and piece half as large as your
hand of boiled lean beef or mutton. If
the weather is warm, take instead a
little cracked wheat or oat meal por-
ridge
For dinner take about the same.
Go without your supper.
Exercise freely in the open air, pro-
ducing perspiration, once or twice a
day. In a few days your biliousness is
all gone. This result will come even
though the bilIousness is one Of the
spring sort, and one with which you
have, from year to year, been much af-
fiicted
Herb drinks, bitter drink, lager beer,
ale, whiskey, and dozen other spring
medicines are simply barbarOus. - DIR.

A Pet OStrich's Mishan.

When, as sometimes happens, a soli-
tary chick is reared at the farmhouse, it
becomes absurdly and often incon-
venicntly tame. One called Jacki; was
the terror of all the little Africans about
the place; for, as they sat on the ground
with plates Of nee ard pumpkin in their
laps Jackie would bear down upon
them, requisitioning from one plate
after another Occa7ionaIly he acted in
such a menacing manner that the young
sters dropped their plates and ran away
crying. Jackie would then squat on
his heels among the debris and regale
his enormous appetite at leisure. But
one day retribution came. Having
spotted the pot in the kitchen out Of
which the pumpkin and rice always
came, he thouy ht he would attack the
fountain head, SO pumping hs
head into the pot, he
greedily scooped up, an6, with the
lightning like rapi1ity Of ostrichcs,
tossed down his throat large mouth
full of boiling rice, Poor fellow! the
next moment he was dancing round the
kitchen, writhing in agony, shaking his
head nearly off, and twisting his n eek
as if bent on tying it into a knot.
Finally he da.h hel wildly from the
house; and the last that was seen Of him
was a little cloud Of white dust vanish
ing on the horizon.--. St James Gazette.

The Old Oaken Bucket.

Science goes for thin gs dear 10 US
without mercy. Every body who has
lived in the country and who knows the
old we'll loves the ''old oaken bucket"
We all love it because we have read
what the poet says about it, and in our
schooldays we chose the poem as our
''piece' and spoke it. We have
quenche1 our thirst from the old oaken
Lucket with its contents after carefully
looking into its dubious depths for
'wigglers" or worms. We have bal
anced the rusty, dripping inconvenience
on the curb and submerged our noses
in the 'nectar' we gulped. We have
spilled the 'crysta" on our shirt front
and profanely growled as we felt it
trickle down inside our collar. We
have seen the leaking drizzle, from a
hole in the bucket, spot our fve-ceut
shine, We have longed under these
circumstances for cheap glass tumbler
or a common tin dipper, but in all our
tribulations we never thought the old
oakcn bucket al iroa-bound death
