"4ou are poor and have no means. u
Mary quickly rejoined.
Il know it, but George is rich"
"More," said the judge, "I don't
like the name, Muzzy, it has no gen.
ealogy.
81 know" said Mary, "and 1 want
to change it to one that has,"
"Agaln you have no education or
cultivation
Mary replied, "my resources have
been limited, but have given asslduous
application to such as | could obtain,
and have paid marked attention to the
oral teaching of my preceptor, and l
hope | hav- profted by the instruction,
and have tried to practice the duties
and privileges inculcated by my pas
tor in his exposition of moral and re-
llgious subjects, and now l want access
to your library, and to listen to your
counsel"
The judge paid marked attention to
this improvised response and was evil
dently bewildered. In the meantime
Mary had moved herself up IN close
proximity to the judge, and putting her
little hand on his arm, looking him di-
rectly in the face, and in a voice sweeter
than Holian, begged him to let her
make his declining years happy to make
his family a quartette, and relieve
Georges mother of care an anxiety.
To say that the judge was overcome
don't express his surprise, and after a
moments reflection, placing his hand
on her head, in a mellow voice said:
"Mary, you have wit and application,
and George has money and education :;
60 and be joined in wedlock."
In due time they did SO, and soon
thereafter she became the idol of the
family, and thence the peer with the
first ladies of church or society, and
today her sons are representative men
in their several LOCALITIES, and if they
see this narrative will attest its yeracity.

Wounded Professional Pride.

A seedy looking man came into the
office of one OF the largest soap manu-
facturers in Philadelphia the other day
and said: "Mr. DreydoppeL, Pm a
needy man and would like twenty. five
cents"
"Well, now," remarked the man ad-
dressed, 81 consider that cool. You
might have Jared better if you had ask
ed for few pennies"
With a look of real indignation and a
voice almost angry the applicant said.
"Now see here, Mr.. Dreydroppel, you
know your business and | know mine !;
but if you think you can give me any
points on begging just start out and try
it."
Mr.. Dreydroppel handed over the
quarter.

MARY'S BAD BLACK LAMB,

Mary had a little ram as black as
rubber shoe, and everywhere that Mary
went he emigrated too.
He went with her to church one day,
they hilarious grew, to see him walk
demurely into Deacon Aliens pew.
The worthy deacon quickly let his
angry passions rise, and gave it an un-
christian kick between the sad, brown
eyes.
This landed rammy IN the aisle the
deacon followed fast, and raised his
foot again alas the first kick was his
last.
For Mr.. Sheep walked slowly back,
about rod, It's said, and ere the dea-
con could retreat he stood him on his
head.
The congregation then arose and
went for that 'ere sheep; several well
directed butts just placed them on
heap.
Then rushed they straightway for the
door, with curses long and loud, while
rammy struck the hindmost man, and
showed him through the crowd.

CHICAGO JOURNALISM.

Chicago journalism, like the city
itself, is one of the wonders of the
times. The New York newspaper
editors and publishers claim .or
themselves the first place among the
press of the United States, but it is
not a claim that is acceded to by
Chicago journalists. There is cer-
tain dignity which may perhaps carry
influence that only belongs to age, a
stability that only the lapse Of years
can bring.
Chicago newspapers can have little
of this. But they have everything
else that the great newspapers of
New York have-capital, editorial
talent, reportorial enterprise, and
competent business management, and
an unequalled field both for the COL
lection of news and the extension OF
their circulation, and some of these
qualities in an intensified and greatly
developed degree. AS newspapers,
that is, as gatherers of the world S
daily history. and its presentation
with fulness and skill, they have no
equals on the continent.
The enterprise of the Chicago
newspapers stops at no expense,
staggers at no difficulties. Its special
telegraph wires are like the spokes
of wheel, reaching especially all
important points OF the Northwest.
The citizen of Chicago, as he opens
his morning paper, has the satisfac-
ton of knowing that no important
event that has happened anywhere
in the known world the day before
has been missed from its news COL
umns.
Editorially, the Chicago. news
papers are in no respect inferior to
the best published elsewhere in the
United States There is, it is true,
running through a majority of the
articles, an lndescribable quality due
to the influence of a community
where, according to the local slang,
"everything goes and goes like thun-
der" disposition to carry point
by the use of the ludgeon instead
of the more artistic flourish of the
rapier; but, like most Western writers,
Chicago editors to the point aimed
at by very direct lines, and when it
is re,ched no reader has no difficulty
in finding out what it isl. l..

A comical story comes from across
the sea about an English judge, who is
very deaf, and like most deaf people,
seeks to hide his inirmity. AT recent
trial there was frequent applause during
the hearing and he silenced it several
times. Presently there was a terrific
noise and the Judge, in great lndigna-
ton. cried out /: "These demonstrations
are most unseenly. If they continue l
shall have the court cleared at once"
Thereupon one OF the lawyers arose
and said with great gravity: "My,
lord, that was a peel of thunder" And

Hon. Binger Herman, the Repub.
Hcan Representative from Oregon,
while the House was discussing the
free lumber clause of the Mills bill
on Tuesday, in speech referred to
the Oregon election of the previous
day. He told the House that the
campaign was conducted solely upon
the issue of the Mills bill and the ia.
yor it would show to chinese labor.
He said that the Democrats had
turned every stone possible to secure
success, 80 as to get an Endorsement
of their tariff bill, and that they met
such a Waterloo as they never en-
countered before. st. John and other
Prohibitionists were turned into the
canvass by the Democrats, with a
view to diverting Republican tenn
perance voters to the Prohibition
ticket. The Mills bill was given a
fair and free test at the polls. was
overwhelmingly defeated, and he
predicted that the entire North would
follow Oregon's example,. The indi-
cations all point in that direction,
most certainly.

The Boston Journal discusses the
question, "Do we want Mugwump
votes ?" in the same spirit that should
prevail at the National Convention at
Chicago. Its answer is both "no"and
''yes"-the former as regards the Of
fensive free-trade mugwump faction,
and the latter as to the other indepen-
dent voters. Its remarks are well
worth reproducing. 1t says:
If the question means, DO we want
the mugwump free-trade vote enough
to be willing to weaken or abandon
the Republican principle of protec-
ton, we answer emphatically, No.
The Republican party does not re-
gard the existing tariff as fetch too
sacred to be disturbed. 1t perceives
the evil of the surplus and the neces-
sity of revision but it insists that
such revision as is necessary shall be
made in harmony with the protec-
tive principle, and in such manner
as to-avoid the disturbance of indus
tries and to sustain the prosperous
condition OF American wage earners.

by surrendering this principle or
diminishing the emphasis placed up"
on it could compensate for the dis
grace of the surrender.
But if the question relates to the
independent voters who, for other
reasons than attachment to free
trade, voted with the Democrats at
the last Presidential election, but are
still in most of their opinions more
Republican than Democratic, we an
swer frankly, Yes. We do want their
votes, and hope to have them in the
coming contests. There were great

ceived by Mr.. Cleyeland's ,voluble

Emperor of Germany Dead,

POTSDAM, June 15.-Emperor Fred.
erick Ill, of Germany, after a reign
of three months, died at eleven
o'clock this morning. His death was
daily expected for the last week. An
hour alter migdnight this morning
the Empress dismissed the members
of the imperial family to their apart
ments; and prepared herself to pass
the night watch in a room adjoining
the sick chamber of the Emperor.
DIR. Howell shared in the vigil. At
this time the Emperor was in the full
possession of his faculties. Shortly
after one o'clock he wrote on a slip
of paper the following questions,
which he handed to DR.. Howell:
"How is my pulse ?" "Are you
satisfied with it ?" He then wrote
something more, but retained the
piece of paper in his hand after eras-
ing the words. Between two and
three o'clock his breathing became
terribly labored, and some moments
of struggle would occur. alternating
with spasms and great distress, as
the hard fight with approaching
death progressed. BY this time the
strength of the dying Emperor was
seen to be waning. AS soon as it be-
came evident that the end was near,
the Empress caused the royal family
to he summoned. At 8 o'clock all
gathered around the bedside. DIR.
Koegel, court chaplain, who had
been summoned by telegram from
Ems, did not arrive in time to adj
minister the last sacrament. DIR.
Persius. therefore, ofticIated in this
ceremony. Pastor Kogge was also
present in the death chamber. Dur.
ing the administration of the sacra-
ment, and indeed even to within
fifteen minutes before his death, the
Emperor appeared to be quite con-
scious. He showed by the express
sion of his eyes and by the move
ments of his eyelids that he still
recognized all who approached the
bedside, relatives and others. A
number of officials, who had been
summoned early in the morning,
reached the palace before death had
taken place. Among those present
at the time the Emperor died were
Count Won Stolberg- Wernigerode,
Gen. Won Albedyll, Count Enlen-
berg, Gen. Rauch, Count Radolin-
Radolinski, Gen. Pape and Gen.
Lindequist.

The Harper's Ferry Mill Case.

PARKERsBURG, w. VA, June 16.-
The famous Harper's Ferry mill case,
which has been in the United States
Court so long, has been decided by
Judge John J. Jackson. The plain.
tiff in the case was the Harper's Fer
ry Mill company and the defendant
Thomas H. Slavery. An effort was
made by plaintiff to prevent the de-
fendant from completing a larges pa
per mill, already under way, upon
the Shenandoah. The plaintiff
claimed ancient rights of waterway,
which the defendant by building
his mill, would materially interfere
with. After long contested litiga-
ton the decision was in favor of Saw
cry. This decision effectually dis
poses Of the Harper's Ferry Mill
company.
