The New Minister to Germany.

The appointment of William Walter
Phelps as Minister to Germany is one of the
best the President has made. Mr.. Phelps is
about so years of age and is a man Of great
wealth. He has been in public life about
seventeen years, having been elected to
congress from the state of his adoption,
New Jersey, in 1872. In 1881 he was APP
pointed minister to Austria and resigned
that position in 1882. He was member of
the last congress, but was not reelected.
Mr.. Phelps is man of conspicuous ability
and considerable culture. In the last con-
gress he was one of the republican leaders,
and was one of the few men who could
command the attention of the House. In
debate he was honest and straightforward,
seldom or never misstating the position of
an opponent, or relying upon the sup
preston of facts for success.
He was undoubtedly the leading represen-
tative of this country in the Samoan con-
ference at Berlin, and it is probably due to
him that the wishes of this country were so
generally respected by the conference. OF
course, neither he nor Mr.. Blaine
is entitled to a great deal of credit for
the settlement of the Samoan
trouble, because the course pursued
by this country was that which Mr..
Bayard marked out before he left the office
of Secretary of State.
Mr.. Phelps will succeed Mr. Pendleton,
and probably will be fully as successful in
discharging his official and social duties as
the latter has been. IL he is, there will be
no occasion for finding fault with him.

Nina Van zsndt and Her Dogs.
From the Chicago Times.

Miss Nina Van Zandt and her seven pet dogs
and her mother and Van Zandt pere and the
rest OF the family" said prominent society
lady who is reco gnized as leader among the
select 400 of Oak Park. "have taken up their
residence here Nna's family grat.fed her
whim in coming that she might be near the
grave of her dead lover, in WaldheIm cemetery,
in which are the graves of the five anarchists-
Spies, Parsons, Fischer, Engel and Lingg
"A lady called at the Van Zandt house few
evenings ago, but Nina did not appear
" Has Nina names for all her dogs?
"'Oh, yes, indeed said Mrs. Van Zandt.
One is named O'Donovan R ssa, in honor of
the If sh agitator and dynamitard, and re
markedly fine dog he is. This one is called
Louise, and this one Allie. Then we have Aue-
lima Patti, splendid specimen of the setter
breed. My daughter has always been an en-
thuslastic lover of pets Have you ever seen
her? Come and look at a painting that is iusr
finished. 1t is done by brother of the artist to
Queen Victoria
The painting was dark and sombre in detail
but the face was one of great expressiveness
The mouth and chin in profile we're of heroic
mould; there was sadness in the expression
that was almost stony. The painting was I'M
framed and leaned against the wall its edge
resting on piano. Near it was heroic bust
of August Spies, made by one of his German
friends, an artist, in clay
Mrs. Van Zandt is herself a woman of many
attractions -

The stories about Gcv. Hills intended mar
rage are fna ly discredited. and he is evidently
intending to preserve his personal liberty by
maintaining his bachelor state. 1t is pOssib e
that he has profted by the testimony and ex-
ample of bis predecessors. A lady from Ithaca,
the birthplace of ex-(iov Cornell and his wife,
told me yesterday good story apropos of the
perils OF welded life, which the governor told
at his own expense. 1t seems that when in
office at Albany he would sometimes return
home late at night, after his wife had retired.
and when she asked him about what time it was

after midnight" One evening, instead of max

would stop that clock; cannot sleep for its
noise" All u suspicious he stopped the pendu-
ium. In the morning while dr. ssing Mrs. Cor
nell inquired artlessly. ''Oh, by tne way, what
time did you get homer About midnight, y
replied the governor. ''Alonzo, look at that
clock"' The hands of the clock pointed TO half
past two. The governor was crushed; but he
afterward concluded that the story was too
good to keep. Gov. Hill may have heard him

Col. Dick Wintersmith, Sitting under the
trees in front of the Ebbtt House the other day,
related the following yarn:
IL seems that the congregation of a church
IN one OF tue southern counties of Virgia was
one day greatly shocked upon learning that
their preacher had departed under most dis
credltaole circumstances. On the following
Sunday nearly every one in the congregation
was deslrous of hushing up the scandal, and
under great restraint many interesting CONVEX
satlons were held merely to prove that the
members OF the church could rise above sensa-
tlonal gossip. just before the services were
closed Brother Elijah P. Brookrod arose and
said:
Brethren and sisters: Since we last met in
TINS house something which seems to have cast
a gloom over the congregation has occurred
we were all very much attached to our minis
ter; IN fact, We loved him. and now propose
that we offer up prayer for the wanderer'
"A sensational wave passed over the audi
enc9. Another brother arose and turning To
Elijah P. Brookrod, said:

congregation to pray for our erring minister
You, above all others
"'Why?'
Because be ran away with your wife,
Yes, | know, Elijah replied, and that is the
reason why think he viii need our prayers >

From special to the Chicago Tribune
it appears that some of the Harvard stu.
deuts have turned anarchists, so to speak.
The other night an attempt was made to
blow up the college hospital with
dynamite, and it is suspected that
students of the college were the
guilty parties. Seven cartridges were
placed on the window-sill of basement
window, and investigation proved that one
of them contained enough dynamite to blow
up the building. The attempt was not sue
cessful simply because the fuse did not burn
TO the cartridges.

Legal proceedings will p 'ob ably be insti-
tuted against the South Fork Fishing Club,
the breaking of whose fish pond dam
caused such devastation and SO many deaths
in the Conemaugh valley. A special from
Johnstown says that a test case will be
brought by John Thomas & Son, who will
sue for $4,000 damages. They offered to
compromise, but Of course the club refused.

Mr.. Russell Harrison expected to sail for
Europe yesterday, and probably he did, but
not before ex-Gov. Crosby, of Montana,
bothered him considerably. When the ex-
governor heard that the young man was
going. he went TO work to prevent it, on
the ground that Harrison was trying to
evade the libel suit which he (the ex-gov-
ernor) had recently brought against him.
The opposing lawyers held consultation,
and it is thought that an agreement was
made to let Harrison depart without
further efforts to detain him. This vas a
wise conclusion, and if the young man
should remain away number of years the
public wouldn't care.

printed that Americans believe he spends
all his time in pleasure. That is not SO. He

they had he didn't think he could ever get
another Office in Connecticut. At least.
