GERMsN MISSIONARIES IN AUSTRALIA.
Advioes by mail from South Australia
contain indignant protests against the
high-handed conduct of the German
missionaries in northern parts OF Aus
tralia in their alleged efforts TO inculcate
Christianity. These complaints declare
that the natives are subjected to out
rageous treatment, some OF them being
chained to posts and whipped into state
of insensibility, while others are NAL
treated in other ways, necessitating
resort to medical treatment. These acts
of brutality, it is asserted, are committed
by orders Of the missionaries with the
object of impressing the natives with the
power of Christians.

Damaging Results of overeducation.

Damaging Results of Overeducation.
LONDON, June 10.-A correspondent OF
the Telegraph has been accorded an in
terview by Prince Bismarck. The prince
declared that no concession to the nihil-
lists was possible. Overeducation had
led to much dissatisfaction and disap-
pointment in Germany, but i'll Russia it
had led to disaffection and conspiracy.
There were ten times as many people ed
ucated for the higher walks as there are
places to fill. Further education was
making pedRntio theorists and Missionaries
unfit for constitutional government. 1t
would be madness to put such men IN
authority. Russians do not know yet
what they want; they must therefore be
ruled with a rod of iron. Referring TO
the labor question, the prince ridioules
the idea that workmen would ever be
contented, because, he said, the rich are
never contented. He spoke strongly
against naturalization as to hours OF Ia
Dor and against any diotatiOn as to hours
against labor and against the usurpIng
of the rightful authorities over their
children. Prince Bismarck said that
Chancellor Won Caprivi was perfect
gentleman.

known as The Poet of the Prairies,
lives in Southern Illinois, not far from
the old town of Mason. He is a true
child of nature and draws his inspira-

the farm where he has lived his life.
A physician with kind heart, he is
an immense favorite among the people
of his neighborhood, although they
know nothing of his fame. The many
friends whom he has made through
his poetry come frequently from their
distant homes to him, finding his per-
sonalitv as admirable as his work. He
is thirty-six years of age, modest, but

man who professed to be able to read
character by means of handwriting.
BY way of testing the matter the
author took from his pocket letter,
and holding his thumb over the sigma

writer was.
Was he a man of genius?
Most certainly not.
A scholar?
BY no means.
A gentleman?
No. There was nothing remarkable
about the writing; it was an ordinary

The Brass Mule Cure.

A traveller, recently returned from
Pekin, tells us that he saw method of
cure which may be new to some of our
readers. In temple outside one of
the city gates is to be found brass
mule of life size, supposed to
have wonderful healing properties.
Patients suffering from every imagin-
able disease seek this temple to obtain
cure. The method pursued is as
follows: Surprising yon suffer from
sciatica, you 90 with all speed to this
famous temple. and, having discovered
the particular part of the brass mule
corresponding TO the painful region of
your own body, you first rub the ami
NAL certain number of times and
then with the same hand shampoo your
own disabled member, and them
well, then the pain goes. The special
feature of this method of cure is its
delightful simplicity. Is your tooth
aching? just scrub the mules teeth
and afterward your own, and, VOLTA
the cure is complete.
Have you an ulcer of the cornea?
Pass the tips of your fingers TO and
fro over the particular eyeball of the
mule, and then with well-rcgulated
pressure rub repeatedly the afflicted
eye. The mule has unhappily lost his
sight during the many years he has
been engaged in his benevolent work,
the eyeballs, we are told, having been
gradually worn away, as the result of
constant friction, until now you have
only the empty orbits to operate upon.
The animal is patched in all directions
with fresh pieces of brass put on to
cover holes produced by the constant
friction of eager patients, and a new,
perfectly whole mule stands ready at
hand awaiting the day when his old
colleague, having fallen to pieces in
the service, shall give him an oppor-
tuni:y of likewise benefting posterity.

THE SECRET OUT AT LAST.
Why Gov. Hill Got So Many Letters
from the Fair Sex

from the Fair Sex.
The story of a good joke on Gov.
Hill of New York has just leaked out.
For some time after election ii was no.
ticed that the Governors private mail
was growing unusually bulky. Most
of the letters were from the west, and
first it was supposed they were con-
gratulatory missives from new found
friends on the magnificent result, but
il was noticed that the Governor care
fully destroyed every one of them and
was particularly wrathful If APP
preached on the subject. The number
kept up and rather seemed to be in
creasing.
Then it was noticed that all the adj
dresses were in various styles of nm
mistakably feminine handwriting. This
reused the curiosity of the clerks.
There was no suffrage convention go
ing on that they knew of, and no par
ticularly bad murderer who command
ed wholesale female influence to secure
a reprieve. Al last the secret got out
Some fiend had sent the name of David
b. Hill TO western matrimonial
agency as candidate for correspond
ence with view to matrimony. There
was no shutting of the flood and every
day brings scores of tender missives,
photographs and pertinent inquiries to
harrow up the sensitive soul of the
bachelor political chief. 1t is the best
joke of the season, and the fun of it is
that the Governor doesn't know whom
to suspect.-Philadelphia North Ameri-
