The Cologne Gdzette's Berlin correspondent

lin begins in few days. Both England and
America promptly accepted Germany's pro-
posai. 1t is said now that Germanys PROPOSE
ton OF compromise is based on a written COM

upon. England showed great alacrity to meet
Germany half way.

Mr.. Parnell is again reported to be thin and
pale, as il his old mysterious complaint had
again asserted its presence. He preserves the

Mr.. Gladstone goes to the English church at
Naples every Sunday morning, (which" writes
a vivacious correspondent lis praiseworthy of
him. as he has to come a long way to do il. His
head. particularly the back part of it, is much
admired. His eyes are the feature which
struck me the most, so large and bright, with
lively expression of boldness and determine
ton, which l don't believe will ever fail him.
Kuhn, the Swiss who is charged with having

quet proposed to the cabinet that Gen. Bou-
LANCER be arrested as a conspirer against the

protested, exclaiming: 'Why, do you want to
drown yourselves in blood?" The matter was
then dropped.
The report that Count Tostoi was about to

Genuine BenevOlence.
From the Leeds Mercury.


Some little time ago, in speaking of Mr. Geo.
Augustus Sala's brilliant lecture in the Philo-
sophical hall, alluded to his description of
the leper island of Mololiai, in the Hawaiian
Isles group, and spoke subsequently of the
noble and self-sacrifcing devotion of the Ro-
man Catholic priest, Father Damien, who went
out to Molokai, in the pursuit of what he
deemed duty, to work for and among the poor
suffering and dying people there. To hear that
he caught the horrible leprosy. and is, conse-
quently, literally giving up his life to help the
Molokaians. did not surprise, but grieved me.
am sure that the brave priest will find some
consolation in the fact that Church of En-
gland clergyman, the Rev. H. B. Chapman, of
st. Lukes, Camberwell. has collected and dis
patched sum of Fl 1000 for Father Damien's
use in building hospital house for the poor
people. With the money goes kindly letter,
which alike honors sender andrecipient, saving
that 1.-The money has been subscribed by those
who are grateful to God for your example of
heroic self-devotion." 1t is very pleasant to
read OF such communion of feeling as this and
l wish it often fell to my lot to chronicle such
instances of such true goodness rising above
all the environments of creeds and circum-
stances.

Maxims for Housekeepers

From Table Talk
Every bees honey is sweet.
The house showeth the owner.
He that is at ease seeks dainties.
Anger at feast betrays the boor.
In good house all is quickly ready.
Everything is of use to housekeeper.
As the year is SO must your pot seethe
Manya good dish is spoiled by an ill sauce.
The biggest calf makes not the sweetest veal
Never Maggie about the basket if you get the
fruit
He that saveth his dinner will have the more
supper.
There is winter enough for the snipe and
woodcock too.
Squeeze not the orange too hard, lest you
have bitter juice.
When the stomach chimes the dinner hour
don't wait for the clock.
They who have little butter must be content
to spread thin their bread.

Mrs. Harrison's Availability.

From the New York Graphic.
New Workers who have been SO fortunate as
to meet Mrs. General Harrison during her stay
In this city have been impressed above all
things by her amiability and kindness. She lie
sweet-faced lady, whose countenance gives
an immediate favorable impression, which is
deepened and strengthened by subsequent OBJ
servation. Her eyes have lost none of the lustre
OF youth and health, which may come from her
habit OF preferring her beauty sleep" 70 late
hour anausements. The gentle outlines of her
mouth are marked by indications Of resolution
OF character, and her chin 10 firm in keeping
Herewith. Her disposition would be read by
the students Of facial expression as loving and
forcible. Mrs. Harrison talks huently, but never
rapidly. She is considerate Of persons address,
ing her or addressed by her. In matters Of
dress her taste is for that which is plain, easy
and elegant. There Is an utter absence of finery
OF any kind, and the example she will set in
this respect as the first lady Of the land win be
worthy Of emulation.

JAMES q. BLAINE.
Biographical sketch OF Ithc secreta-
~ OF state.

Blaine is one of those colossal fig.
ures which at intervals impose them
s,lves upon our body polite. He
might emphasize tho remark of Bis
marck and say, I" | am the best loved
man in America, and he would speak
the truth. Looking back into the
dim vista of our past, we can see but
one other figure that can compare
with that Of Blaine--that is Henry
Clay, the "Mill Boy Of the slashes."
But even the devotion and enthusi-
asm displayed by the admirers of the
Great Commoner is surpassed by
this latter day hero worship" for
Blaine. Verify in this iconoclastic
age an idol has been set up. 1t
would be hard to analogizo this pop
ularity of Blaine, yet it is conceded
that his brilliancy, ability, and above
all that almost undeinable quality,
called magnetism, has much to do
with it, but, more than all these, it is
the feeling in every Americans heart
that Blaine is distinctlvely and radi-
cally an American; that he is op.
posed to any and all aggression on
the part Of European nations; that he
emphasizes the Monroe doctrine ,
of "America for the Americans" thai
"he is SO venerated" by his partisans
