The seamv Side of the Purn,e.

Tho Empress Frederick writes to me
one Of her set-a member Of the consular SER
vice and an artists perhaps the saddest
woman alive. She loved her husband; she
loved power, because she has in a high de-
gree the political faculty and is endowed with
a mind which sees things wholesale rather
than in detail, and she is proud woman, in
the best sense of the word. Her husband and
the throne, for which she had carefully edu-
Gated herself, have been taken from her.
The misery Of worldly greatness was inn
pressed upon her in the most cruel object
lessons with which Providence was ever
pleased to teach human being. Her pride
received sore rubs during tho greater
part Of her married life. But it was
buffeted with during her short and unhappy
occupancy Of the imperial throne, and was
trampled upon in the early days of her widow
mood She only was esteemed as her hus-
bands wife. As a woman she was held Of no
account because her sex is despised in Prussia
This was u great aflliction to the eldest daugh-
ter Of Queen Victoria, who when the Empress
Frederick was child filed perhaps the
greatest position that there was in the world.
None Of her daughters have her mind. They
are kindly and well disposed and dutiful
toward their mother, but not In touch with
her Being obliged to quit the palace in
which she lived at Pctsdam with her husband
during thirty years was q cruel blow to her.
She has become deeply pious. Religion alone
fills her heart. The paint brush and palette
have been laid aside 1t is her intention to
devote herself q great deal to schools and
hospitals,,s i. to addict herself to what is
known staiio,, stian socialism. Neither she
nor her sst rind liked political socialism
They felt 9eit the state could never save a
people and that salvation should come Of in
dividual effort, working from within out
ward. ''-PsSis Letter

yet 1t needs but a sentiment to break through
tho crust.
The other night woman was brought IN
staggering drunk. She had face that was
| pinched and drawn, and it was plain that
/ worry and hunger made her look years older
/ than she was. You and / would have looked
into her face and said that she had some ex-
cuse for temporarily seeking to forget her
I identity. The grim old sergeant only saw an
infraction OF the law, and he frowned upon
her as she stood clutching the desk.
Here was a living book which recorded
twenty years of worry, suffering, heartaches,
poverty, woe and want, but be refused to
turn the pages. He had no curiosity; he had
no pity
'.Namer' he sharply demanded.
She gave It.
'What have you got in that parceln
''Ill never give Il up!n she exclaimed.
It was something wrapped in an old hand
kerchief, and she clung to it the tighter, You
and would have wondered IL it wasn't a bit
OF money she had there, but the sergeant
thought Of poison or some other danger and
ordered it handed up. It took two men to
release her grasp, anal when the parcel was
undone, what do you suppose they found in
ill a wee AIlle slOchlu8t hucu as q ctlllu q
couple Of years old might wear. The big toe
Of the wearer had made a hole, and the heel
had been worn thin, and the bright red
color had faded away, as the glow fades from
the summer sky when the twilight comes
down.
The sergeant held it up-not in mockery
and ridicule-but as if it were a tender thing
The grimness went out Of his face, a softness
replaced tho frown, and, as the woman bent
her head and sobbed, he said:
1T is a relic of her dead child Poor, un-
fortunate motherl"
''You won't take it from met" she gasped.
Not for the world Can you go homer
IL guess so. feel stronger
"Then So and may all men and women be
merciful TO YOU"
The spring Of mercy had been touched As
the grim old sergeant held up that faded
stocking he remembered that he had relics at
home-rclics Of children who had danced on
his knee in the sunshine of the past, but who
now moldered in the dust Not for all the
money in the world would be have brought

China, the Great Oriental Giant, Rousine

The vast progress Of China in recent years
is set in a s.Iildng light in IN article which.
under the title of The March Of the Mon
gol," has been contributed by MrW. B. Dun
lop to The Asiatic Quarterly Review. and re.
printed in pamphlet form. Mr.. Dunlop dates
the new movement from the period soon after
the suppression of the TAPPING rebellion, when
the Chinese government first established the
imperial maritime customs, which, under the
wise and energetic control of Sir Robert
Hart, the Inspector general Of customs at
Pellng, has attained so remarkable a devel-
opment. 1t is significant of the shrewdness
of the Chinese that they perceived the ad-
vantage to be derived from dsmissing the
native collectors and appointing Trustworthy
foreigners in their room. The experiment
was justified by large and immediate riso in
the amount Of the revenue from customs
duties which has ever since been steadily in
creasing-a considerable part Of the surplus
having been employed in erecting lighthouses
along the immense seaboard Of China, which
has now one Of the best lighted coasts in the
world

It is cdfS6us fact that newspaper men
rarely become insane, although the harassing
nature of their duties, with daily host Of
details to attend to, is seemingly of just the
character to break down the mental faculties
Tho annual report Of the Connecticut hospital
at Middletown shows that only ono newspaper
man was ever under treatment there since the
hospital was established In 1865. This was

Poltties Make a piferenee.

The present Administration was heralded
as one overlooking in gratitude to the soldiers
of the late war. Harrison, himself an ex-
federal soldier, has said that the veterans
should receive especial recognition; heads Of
departments have made similar declarations,
and Corporal Tauaer has distaneed all on the
soldier business. He not only wants 70 put
them into all offices, but wants to increase the
pensions of eyery one now drawing pension
and to grant pensions to all who ever served
in the army, whether disabled or not. All
this love for soldiers upon the part of the
Republican Administration, applies only to
Republican soldiers. Democratic soldiers
are not recognized, and are not even given
as much consideration as ex-coniederates.
No Democratic ex-soldier, so far as we ere
aware, has ever been appointed to office under
Republican rule, while Gen. Longstreet and
Col. Mosby, who was regarded US q guerrilla
during the war. have been given distinguished
consideration. Not only have no Democrats
been given Office. but those who were appoint
ed to places during Ne. Cieveland's term are

son was the discharge of a Democratic sol

record and their standing in the g. A. T.,

During the late campaign Republican
orators were promising laboring men two
dollars dag 4n4 roast beef, in the event OF
Harrison success. but the ballots bad scarcely
been counted b-fore reduction Of wages vera
made in 50 ious places. Some farmers IN
Carroll were shouting Harrison and two
dollars bushel for wheat Wheat is now
less thar ninety cents in all the chief wheat
markets, and Eqr July delivery the price is
eighty five cents. 1t is get likely to 60 above
a dollar next fall. Some farmers y Carroll
were also led to vote for Harrison because
potatoes were Snly forty cents bushel last
fall. Harrison was elected, and potatoes are
now a drug on the market and 1t is tiitscqlt
to get twenty five cents bushel for tbem.
