Maine Girls chat with Bismarck.

A few weeks ago company of young
ladies from Maine make vow that they
would not only see Bismarck, but shake
hands with him. And they accomplished
their vow in the most easy and natural
manner. The occasion was bazar given
at Bismarcks Palace in Berlin for the
benefit of the Ten Phenuing Society, or
society for the aid Of the poor. The
Maine girls repaired to the palace at 30
P. M. and found the apartments crowded
with people buying goods, much as is
done in our New England bazars. Pres
emily the young ladies saw that the wor-
shippers of Bismarck began to bs aware of
his presence, and half dozen bouquets
were placed in his hands.
"What lovely flowers the Prince has!"
said one of the girls in English.
Bismarck overheard the remark and
turning to the young lady and shaking
her hand, said also 10 English:
"But do you not think there are more
bestowed than deserve?"
"If had more / would add them to
your stock, " she retorted
Bismarck laughed and added: II am
very glad to see that you Americans take
interest enough in the bazaar to come
here.
The Maine girls again found it con-
venient to speak in somewhat enthusi-
astic terms in English of what they saw
and heard.
"What magnificent man Prince Bis
marck isy" remarked one.
The Prince turned and smiled and ex-
tended bis hand to each Of the Maine
girls and said:
"And you, too, are Americans. And
you think the palace is magnificent, do
you? Am glad it pleases you. | am
happy to welcome You as Americans.
The happy way in which the Chan
ceIlor misunderstood the compliment to
himself and appropriated it to his palace
shows that bis intellect is not impaired
by years. rs.-Lewiston Journal, Berlin

A Decision Against the Baltimore and

WASHINGTON, February ga de-
cision by the interstate commerce
commission In the case of the Pitts

way company against the Baltimore

where-y parties of ten or more per-
sons, such as theatrical parties, trav-
cling together on one ticket are trans.
ported at two cents per mile, which
is less than the regular rate for
single person, said rate being about
three cents per mile; and that said
company also sells round trip e1cur-
sion tickets without publicity posting
the rates at which said tickets are.
sold. In this case counsel appeared
not only for the respondent, but also
in behalf of the managers OF the
theatrical companies, who are SAID TO
be specially interested in maintaining
these so-cslled party rates.
The commission, in its DECISION,
holds that passenger excursion rates
are required to be published according
to the provisions Of section 6 OF the act
toregulate c ommerce; that party rate
tickets arc not Communication tickets,
and when party rates are lower than
contemporaneous rates for single pas
sengers they constitute discrlmlna'
ton and are Illegal.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad
company is therefore required to i'm
mediately cease and desist from the
sale Of party.rate tickets and ordered
to print and post It's excursion rates.

The report Of wo pistol >hols. fired
in quic succession on Jefferson

attracted large crowd in front OF the
City hotel. As soon as the shots were
nred. a negro man was seen running
down First avenue towards the mar
ket house, at breakneck speed A
number Of men and boys started in
hot pursuit. and the negro, being
pressed hard by his pnrsuers, started
back upThird avenue from the market
house, and when he had nearly
reached Jefferson street was headed
of b, Officer Wolfe, who arrested him
as the man who had done the shooting.
The negro stated that he did not
fire the shot, but that MIR w. h.
Looknbill had shot at him. This, on
investigation. proved TO be he true
state of the case A gentleman who
witnessed the whole affair stated TO a
THINKS reporter that the negro had
been in MIR Lookabill's cigar store
and had become very objectionable
when Mr. Lookabill ordered him to 20
out of the store, which the negro did at
the same time picking upa rock and
threatening 10 kill MIR Lookahill II
he came out, aud at the same
time using the most profane language

PREPARING FOR A POLITICAL
CRUSADE.
The SOUTH THE 0BJECPIVE POINT
Movement ON Foot to Stir up Sec.
tional strife..Pubiic Sentiment at
the North Opposed to Carpe. BAG
Methods.

WASHINGTON, February 22.-In the
course Of the debate In the Senate
Thursday on Florida affairs Mr. sher..
man made the authoritative announce
ment that the condition OF the
South" as he expressed 1t, is to be
brought before the Senate at some
time during the present session, and
some measure of a practical char
acter" 10 to be submitted for action.
IBIS is notice that Mr.. Sherman and
bis political associates intend to pass,
if possible, some measure relative to
elections based on his bill and Sbe
kindred propositions which have been
presented in tne two houses. Aided
by the iron.clad code Of rule in the
house of representatives which gives
the speaker absolute power over the
proceedings, il will not be difficult to
force any measure, however extreme,
through that body and with only such
latitude OF debate TO the minority as
the speaker may be graciously inclln-
ed to permit.
In the senate it will be different.
II the large minority in that body Is
properly handled, if it is held together
and fights with courage and deter
mination, there is chance that the
proposed legislation may be defeated.
The senate minority will have the
full consciousness that it will be
backed by public sentiment in the
north by making the flrmest OPPOSE
ton to any and al of the contem-
plated measures for further harrass-
ii ant and oppression Of the south.
>eaator Ingalls,, in his recent speech
on the negro question, was guy ~ e
when he admitted that pubic senti-.
ment in the north was ipdiffere2t to
what he cal q wrongs peEpecA I'd
in the south This was his NANNY
Of expressing it. What The should
have said Is that the people of the
North are opposed to The enactment
by the politicians of their section Of
any further measures OF oppression
towards the people of the South. 1t
has been fifteen years since. with the
failure Of the force bill, there has
ppen any attempt by congress to
pass political measures affecting the
s, nth. The South, in the mean
time, has progressed and pros
pered so much, peace and quie-
tude have prevailed to such an e1-1
tent in it's borders, that the CONNER

North, which are becoming ere and
more closely allied with it every day,
may we'll view with apprehension tho
attempts OF the politicians to bring
return Of the disastrous days of carpet
baggism and scalawagism.
The, people Of the North are quite
contefs; to let the South work out Its
problela. by itself; the politicians are
not. They have deterHs ned, no mat
ter what the consequences may beto
society or to business. to m.>ye up for
inevitable republican losses in the

regarding the public sentiment which
they feel and know is againGt them,
their course has been resolved upon

Gfis u.art on tho Right side.

NV YORK, February GA re-
ularkable case Of displacement of the
vital organs was revealed in tne
autopsy held yesterday on Albert l.
Johnson. the old inventor, who
dropped dead in the Equitable build
ing ON Tuesday afternoon. Deputy
Coroner Jenkins made the autopsy
and found that the heart, which was
abnormally fat, had moved over tc
The right side of the chest; the
stomach. spleen, pancreas and q
greater portion OF the large and small
intestines had passed up into the left
pleural cavity, and considera-
bly, compressed the left lung. The
heart BESIDES being displaced was
compressed, the diaphragm had fallen
into the abdomen, and there was a
general chronic deforming endartini-
lis. all resulting from an old diaphrag-
matte hernia, for which the deceased
had received much medical treatment.
Some twenty years ago johnson con-
tracted hernia by tree falling on
him, and it is believed that the general
displacement Of those organs occurred
at that time, and existed ever since.
DR. jenkins said that the Immediate
cause OF death was heart failure,
though the displacement OF the organs
was tending to accelerate death.
