GOSSIP ABOUT NOTABLE MEN.

Albert, king of Sayony, Is man of
artistic tastes who believes IN harmOni-
GUS tout ensembles,a as he has just shown
by the edict that has gone forth from
his hunting boxes Oh the Bohemian
frontier. Until quite recently tine ladies
who assisted in the hunting of the willy
fox and the light-footed deer were al
ways present at the dinner after the
lays work in the forest was done. The
gentlemen had, of course. to don even
ing dress in Difference to the ladies'; and
when. after dinner, they went into the
courtyard to inspect the bags and iden-
tify, according to custom, each his own
special prey, they had to wear the wood.
mans knife at their side and the hunt
er'S hat, together with froek coat and
a large white SHIRT front studded with
diamonds. ''This looks ridiculous, in
elegant" said the king, land, since we
could not be so impolite as to sit down to
dinner with the ladies dressed in any
thing but broadcloth, we must hence
forth, and with great regret, exclude
them from the hunting dinners"
These dinners, under the revived con-
ditlons, are extremely picturesque. All
the huntsmen sit down to them in their
hunting garments, the light brown
trousers and waistcoat, green jacket,
high riding boots and -brimmed
soft felt hats. After dinner they all ae-
scend to where the result of the days
shooting is spread out, categorically and
according to size, and glory i'll the sight
before they return to the banqueting
hall to tell their sportsmen's tales.
Those who have shot stag wear a
branch of fir in their hats, and a branch
of oak adorns those who have killed, or
think they have killed, deer.
The king of SaXony is in his sixty
third year, and has reigned seventeen
years. In 1858 he was marred to Prin-
cess Caroline, daughter of Prince Gus
tave de Wasa. He is not oYerburdened
with duties of state. his kingdom being
but dependency of the German en-
pre-, and he is therefore at liberty to de-
vote his mind to the adjustment of
questions of social propriety.

THE DEVIL ABOUT

1t is understood that in the German
town where LUTHER was doing his
work when the devil pestered him.
there is still to be seen upon the wall
the dent made by the inkstand the en-
ragged reformel threw at the head of the
arch disturber. That he missed his aim
was unfortunate, provided effective
work could be had in that way. LUTHER
claimed to have had several interviews
with him, and the inkstand reflected his
opinion. He has never been more dew
ilish than when he has melted men to
murder their wives, or young idiots. to
shoot girls who will not marry them.
Decent people, too, are at times fnsti-
gated to commit suicide. MINNEAPOLIS
is credited with eighteen self-murders
the past year. st. Paul has had a share.
and more wife-killing and other de-
-struction of life than wholesome coudI-
lions warrant. The devil is about.

parts of the East are still fighting even
more bitterly than before the vote was
had. 1t is possible that some of them
really believe that the women will make
spiritual turmoil, as 1t were. Chaplain
MCCABE thinks the women will want
to do a great deal of talking in the con-
ference that will not be weighty with
the untathOmable wisdom of the church
oracles. There will be no more revival
work after they come to the front. This
is all absurd. The women do most of
the work in nearly all the churches, as
well as comprise two-thirds Of the men,
bership. They have most of the saline
element, and their faith and love of re-
ligious service have been the life and
preservation of the churches. Let Miss
WILLARD be ordained and made
bishop.

1t is not the application of the sug-
gestion of JAY GOULD that one coat
could be made to answer, as they do
not advise the use of even one. They
would have people warmly clothed, but
advise the use of more underclothing
in place of the overeoat. The New
York climate does not average
as low in the thermometer as
this, but it is damper and more
variable, and the overcoat at times
would seem about as essential
as here. Parties in this climate who
pay special attention to the protection of
the person by undergarments, state
that they have been surprised to note
how little use they have for heavy
overcoat. HANNIBAI. HAMLIN, in Maine,
is familiarly understood to have never
worn an overcoat. But these New York
doctors have another suggestion that
has some local chance. In place of an
overcoat they would have parties walk
few miles to and from business every
day briskly and get up warm glow.
For those who sit great deal this is
good advice, although not in the interest
of Mr.. LowRY'S street service, which is
improving most cOmmendably.

PROPOSED SHIP CANAL.
1t Would Only Be Available in
Time of War.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Is. = Secretary
Proctor has sent to the house of repre-
senratives report from Capt. T. w.
Symons, corps of engineers. on the re-
suits of preliminary examination for a
ship channel between Port Town
send bay, Puget sound and Oak
bay. Capt. Symonds reports that a
ship channel to connect the two
bays might be Of considerable import
ance in time of war; but he is con-
stained to the opinion that the commerce
which would be benefited by the pro-
posed canal is, and will be for some time
not at all commensurate with the cost
of opening and maintaining the same
If the proposed iron and steel works at
Irondale are established, the benefits to
be derived from the canal in the future
may justify its being built. but he can
not at present believe that they will.

bismarck Turned Brewer.

Prince Bismarck, who started a long
while ago on his Yarzin estate spirits
distlllery, has arranged things with a
financial society of Hamburg for the
establishment in the same domain of a
large brewery, capable of producing
$4,000 kegs of beer annually. Accord
ing to the prospectus published by the
company, the shareholders could expect
to realize a dividend of IL per cent
every year. The Freisinnige Zeitung
ironically recalls, apropos of the I'M
dertaking, paragraph Of q speech de-
livered on March 2S, 1881. in the reiehstag
by the Iron Chancellor, who SAID then
that ''beer, rendering the drInker
drowSy, instead Of exciting the nervous
system, should be considered as bad
beverage from an economical and ma
tional standpoint"

THE BoURBoNs LEFT

The Methodist churches have given
an aggregate majority of six or more
thousands in favor of admitting women
as delegates to the next general con-
ference. The West came up grandly
upon the progressive side, and the ma
jority would have been larger had the
vote been fuller. The impressions,
cultivated by some of the preju-
diced, that it was a step toward
political suffrage, kept many ladies'
from voting, or caused them to vote
wrong. The great majority of the sex
are more opposed to the suffrage bust
ness than the men. Still. the beurbons

GHOSTS OF ANIMALS

At recent public service in this city,
at which the spirits of the departed in
spired the utterance of the authorized
speakers. as understood, the interesting
statement was made by the melted
teacher that all animals have spirits
that endure after the disuse of the BODY,
and sustain the same relation to the dis
embodied part of human beings that
they do to the social and natural econ
omY of this life. The spirit prompting
the speaker often reveled in the celes-
tial melody Of the ghosts of defunet
musical birds. The celestial regions
were thronged with the sequences of
earthly animal life, and it was intimated
that this fact made the future much
like continuation of the present. This
had been with some a vision of the I'M
aglnation, but the direct confirmation
by an eyewitness was sure evidence to
many. There did not appear to the
listeners any more reason to question the
reliability of this information than of
any of the communications credited so
Implicitly by thousands of reputable peo-
PIE to the perpetualIy existent elements
OF the visibly defunct. There is a pleas.
urable sensation to many in the sug-
gestion that the postterrestrial life may
be gladdened by the melodies of birds
and the spirits Of favorite animals. But
the information was meager, painfully
so as to detail. There are few animals
in this world that one would hardly care
to- have about, even in ghostIy form in
the other life. Possibly they may be
without their vicious propensities, but
they would suggest the mission of their
mundane career and could hardly con-
tribute to the serenity of the other life.
They may be agents of annoyance to
the vicious spirits, but the data for their
assignment is so limited that 1t is almost
regretted that the information is had of
their future existence. Perhaps the
spirit was one of the unreliable ones.

THE GOOD FAMILIES.

A writer i'll the current Forum gives
as the best recipe for the perpetuation
of good families" life in the country
and the abundant exercise that is to be
had there in the untainted atmosphere.
Reference is had to physical and moral
development. The persistent footmen
known as tramps are not brought into
the picture. Probably the writer has
mental impressions from over the water
and finds the best families in those
classes that have elaborate country seats
where they take recreation. They are
people of leisure, who live as their in
clinationS dictate. In this country the
farmers are the best promoters of good
families. They have the physical de-
velopment that the purest atmospheric
conditions and outdoor exercise afford.
They do not talk much about the best
families, but they afford the sinew that
moves to the best phases of national
life
