PRINCE HENRY of Prussia, the Kai-
naval service He is the "Unser Helm
rich" of the navy, just as his imperial
father used to be the "Unser Fritz" of
the army, and countless stories are told
To illustrate his good nature, his devo-
ton to his profession and his physical
prowess. Once, when the Olga, of
which he was then atch-keeping
lieutenant, was lying in the Gulf of
Keil, the order was given through him
was chilly, and an officer remarked to
the prince that the water must be far
too cold To be pleasant. He suggested
therefore, that the order should be an
nulled. Without a word, Prince Hen
ry, who was ON the bridge, sprang
thence into the sea, swan to the Jacobs
ladder astern, climbed on board again,
and mounting, dripping To the bridge,
said To the officer: "DO You say so
INV ll'tt was NV lfDlDs dhh lut
prince, instead of going below TO
change, remained on the bridge in his
wet clothes until his watch was reliev-
ed. Another story illustrates the
princes activity. One day at Wilhelms-
haven he put n thaler between his
teeth and dashed mp the rigging of his
ship, crying: He who catches me
shall have the thaler." Although he
was pursued by the whole of the ships
company not on duty, he was not
caught, and, at last, swinging himself
by rope To the deck, he turned To the
nearest of his pursuers and said laugh
ingly: "lf you are as thirsty as | am
you must wantit, so here's your money"

LEGITNE, deposed president of the
Haytien republic, arrived in New York
on Wednesday of last week, accom-
panied by his wife, two daughters
and several officers of his army The
party had left Port-au-Prince ON board
French man-of-war, but had been
transferred To the Ward line steamer
Manhattan at Santiago. As soon as the
Manhattan had been made fast 10 the
dock she was boarded by Consul-Gen-
eral Weslandes, Of Hayti, and Stephen
Preston, minister, and half dozen
newspaper reporters. The belongings
of the party consisted of twenty four
pieces of baggage and three little
terriers. Legitimes daughters are re-
markably handsome with a mulatto
complexion. Their father is coal black

The eX-president would talk but little,
but intimated that after short stay i'm
France he might return to Hayti as a
private citizen, or he might go To
Cienfuegos and establish himself in
business. The party took apartments
at hotel until Saturday, when they

Frankness IL Best.

FranknesS is sometimes brutal, but il
is much to be preferred To deceit and
concealment. The recent utterances
of eX-Gov. Norwood, of Georgia, on the
subject of Negro suffrage are certainly
entitled 10 commendation on this score.
This representative of the southeast.
ern "chivalry" declares bluntly and in
the plainest English that the people of
the southeast do not believe i'm the
right of the black man 10 vote, will not
allow him to vote, and will contemptu-
ously disregard and defy any Federal
election laws which may be passed for
the purpose of securing to colored citi-
zens the rights of citizenship.
Thanks to you, Mr.. Norwood for this
candid disclosure of the thoughts and
purposes of the people whom you re-
present. The open statements which
you and men who are like you have
made regarding the problem of secur.
ing free vote and fair count in your
section of this country are performing
a most useful work They are teaching
the men of the great north and west
what the fixed and final purpose is of
the dominant class of the southeast in
respect to obedience to the constitution
and the laws of the nation.-N. Y. Mail

Ono republican papers are having
considerable sport, and Ohio democrats
are correspondingly disguSted, over the
''zebra-marked" platform and candidate
produced at the late democratic state
convention. 1t started off with plat
form pledging the party "to continue
the battle for tariff reform" mills free
trade toboggan slide, and the first man
they placed on the platform was James
+. Campbell, a high-protection Sam
Randall democrat, for governor He
comes from Butler county, Vallandig-
hams old district. and the very heart
of the old copper-head "nigger-hating"
element of the democratic party in Ohio,
but was himself republican until 1872,
when he wandered off in the Greeley
movement, and he was also a union
veteran. He was elected TO congress
from that district as Sam Randall pro-
tectionist, and voted against the Morri-
son horizontal tariff reduction bill. He
voted for the Mills bill, but did so under
protest, being coerced by President
Cleveland Thus the democrats of Ohio
present the ludicrous picture of Ran.
dali protectionist trying to straddle a
Frank Hurd free-trade platform of the
broadest pattern, cut out and superin-
tended in the make up by Hurds dis.
ciple, Harter, as chairman of the con.
vention-a man more ultra free trade,
II possible, than Hurd himself. 1t will
be amusing to hear Randallite make
frantic efforts to talk to a free-trade
constituency from Hurd platform.
The Chicago Tribune hits the matter
very pat when it likens this high.pro.
tection-free-trade candidate to the
fellow who was in favor of prohibition,
but bitterly opposed to its enforcement.

The pearl excitement in the vicinity
of Albany, Wis, is at fever heat. Al
though the pearl-bearing clans are get
ting scarce and divers have to dig in
the bottom of the river, the finds are
more numerous and valuable than ever.
The largest and by far the most valua-
Bile pearl i'm Wisconsin was found last
Friday. A New York buyer offered S3,
500 for it, but the figure was considered
too low. Hundreds of pearls, varying
in price from $40 to $3.50, are found and
sold daily, and the rush of visitors and
clam hunters are pouring into the vii.

river for two miles up and down are

not less than five hundred negroes were
fogged i'm the Third Louisiana district
during the recent campaign, for the
purpose of terrorizing the colored vote.
And it had the desired effect, as the re-
suit of the vote shows. Not one-iifth of
the colored vote of the district was
polled. The associated press reporters

JEFF DAVIS may live long enough to
tire out even his friends. Col. Crisp an
nounced, at a meeting of confederate
veterans in Missouri, that he had no
admiration for the chief of the Lost
Cause, for which Gen. Joe Shelby came
near pounding him. But the fact is,
most of the confederate officers know
that jefferson was Jonah to the con.
federacy His self-fancied military
genius came near wrecking the cause
more than once before the final crash

who staked and lost on that cause begin

Tho proprietor walked round awhile restlessly and then stopped near the bag. He neryously fingered the string that tied the top together. There was no ono looking and he caro- fully united it.

Pneumonia Contarinn.

From q long article by Netter, on The Contagiousncss of Pneumonia, these conclusions arc drawn:
 Pneumonia Is a contagious disease of parasitic origin, and is transmtssible either directly or by intervention ot Il third person, or by inanimato objects. such IS wearing apparel, etc.
 Contagion Is possible through tho entire course of the disease and even after recovery,
 The period of incubation averages from five to seven days. but may vary betwecn ono and twenty
 Patients who have passed through pneumonia are dangerous both to themselves and their neighbors. as living mierocoeei may bs found ia their saliva many years after. Thence in part the epidemic appearances of the disease in certain families during long periods, and also It's frequent recurrence in certain individuals who have once survived L.
 Rigid quarantine seems hardly ncc. essary, but other persons should avoid too intimate relations with them The sickroom should be ventilated and dislnfeeted as thoroughly as possible. and every precaution taken to prevent the spread Of the disease us in othee contagious.

 "Huh!" ejaculated the surprised supplicant. What's that you say?n
 The preacher repeated the correc- tion. whereupon the deacon continued his prayer to a great length, and con cluded as follows:
 Finally, Lord, bless our eddicatal parson. Stuff him with religion as we'll as with words; break him of tho habit of fault fndin', fl possible. and at the 'leventh hour gather him with the saints in thy kingdom.
