Illustrious sage OF Beauvoir,
Matchless in peace, mighty in war,

In suffering no mortal so great

Is Bourbon paper of the Missouri type.
A lady waiting for one of the divisions of
the great Sunday school parade in BROOKLYN
last week occupied the time in reading a
paper, published in a recent monthly, en-
titled; THE Inevitable Surrender of Ortho-
doxy." Presently music was heard and with
her fingers still between the pages she calmly
turned to watch 5000 orthodox Sunday school
children pass in review.
The Emperor Of Germany is in far from
good health. His ear occasionally causes
him severe pain, although morphine is not
used. He has deep-seated, incurabe alb
scess, which may, if it heals outwardIy. bore
its way through the dense membranes to the
brain, causing death or such agony as 10
necessltate drngging with morphia. The
proportion OF fatal cases of this kind is small
but the risk Is constant. The ear is slightly
deaf. His headache Is occasionally severe
and his temper bad
Even disaster has comic phases and char
ity is sometimes humorous. A funny thing
about the Johnstown horror was the extent
to which the plying and generous heart of
the country yielded up jam for the relief of
the sufferers. Meat was scarce, there was
rarely any butter, milk could be got but in
frequently, and sugar was always lacking
when milk was to be had, while fruit was
worth its weight in gold, but there was
always plenay of jam. Bread and jam was
the staple diet OF the greater part of the pop
ulation. Raspberry jam, strawberry jam,
DiackDerry Jam, orange Jam, apple jam, peach
Jam and cherry jam, every kind OF jam could
be had for the asking by any sufferer. 1t is
doubtful IL any one man, except jam manu-
facturer, ever saw so many different kinds of
jam as were displayed upon the shelves of
the Johnstown relief stores
One of the curious and, to many persons,
delightful facts disclosed in connection with
the Andover Theological Seminary neurology
for 1889 may be stated as follows: Among
the graduates of the class OF 1888 was
young man concerning whom no tidings have
until lately been received for many years.
Whether he had died or was still alive could
not be learned for long time. At length
the interchangeable efforts of the statistican,
Rev: IL. A. Hazen, resulted in the discovery
not long before the person sought for lay
down in the grave that he was living in Cam
bridge as member OF a Roman Catholic
brotherhood When visited and told that
the other surviving members of his class in
AndOver, and the Alumni Association, had
been long and anxiously searching for news
OF him, the devotee was greatly affected. He
| expressed deep gratitude for such fraternal
| interest and entered into "reminiscences of
| the old Andoyer days, showing thar the
teachers. the companions, the once familiar
scenes, from which he had been separated
more than half a century, still lived in affec-
| Jionate remembrance.
