Two UnbeIieyerS.

The following story is told of Littre,
the great French savant: Legouve says
that shortly after Littre's daughter was
born he Uittrc) said to his wife: 'My
dear, you are a good Christian. Bring
up your daughter in the ways of re-
ligion and piety which you have al
ways followed; but l must exact
one condition and that is that when
she is fifteen years of age You will
bring her to me. / will then explain
my views to her. and she can choose
for herself" The mother accepted
the condition, years rolled ON, the 10Th
birthday of the child soon came. and
the mother entered her husbands
study. You remember what you said
to me and what promised" she.
Your daughter is 15 years old to-day.
She is now ready to listen to you with
all the respect and confidence due to
the best of fathers. Shall | bring her
in?"
''Why certainly replied Littre.
but for what special reason? To ex-
plain to her my views! Oh, no. my
dear! no, no. You have made of her
forward. bright, and happy creature.
y
pure being describes every virtue. And
you fancy that l would cover all that
happiness and purity with my ideas!
Pshaw! my ideas are good enough for
me. Who can say that they would be
good for herP Who can say that
they would not destroy, or at least
damage your work? Bring her in SO
that 1 may bless you in her pres
ence for all that you have done for
her, and so that she may love you more
than ever"
Il, too" added Legouve, at the close
of his little anecdote, ''have around
me believers whom I love, and I would
consider myself criminal if troubled
their religious convictions with my
doubts and my objections, especially
as know that they find in those con-
victions nothing but joy, consolation,
and virtue"

Mr.. Lang's Typical American.

But, If try we must, here goes for the
typical American of the educated class
es. He is not very like an English
anan; he is rather more like a French
man. but still mere like an American.
! ou can i.o: say where he differs in
appearance r.tn a Briten; it may be
in his necktie, his iIoatS. or in the way
which he brushes his hair. He seldom
looks as if he lived much in the open
air or was fond Of field sports. He is
m uch more vivacious than an English
man. more original in manner. more
fertile in ideas, more modern in every
way. He is almost too good company;
too effervesccnt for sonic natives of 4
slow. foggy climate. He is enviabfy
detached from our Internal politics and
social confusions. These are all pretty
Indifferent to the native of a country
which has elbow room. Il militia which
shoots and practically no neighbors.
He is usually fond of the Irish aud their
cause, but he never goes to Ireland.
He does not mind explainingto to you the
niceties of base ball; but have known
an elderly Frenchman take more in
terest than he does in cricket. He
seems to ME to know great deal
about cookery and de icacies of strange
names, American or French; but he
has, perhaps. no very high opinion of
our poor culinary efforts. He is not
curious, however. in strange mixed
juleps and cocktails, and SO forth. like
the representative American of the
stage, He very seldom talks with an
English accent, and even when he
does, his idionls betray him. He takes
a Platonic interest in poker, but is no
gambler. He is much too familiar with
English life to be very keenly cur
ious about it, and he never dreams of
going to see the lions. He is rather fond
of the play, knowing and caring very
much more about our authors, actors,
pieces, and so forth. than do. for one.
He is kind, courteous. ingenious, oblig-
ing. good fellow, and welcome be-
cause he is infinitely more alive than
most of us, To bring him into a room
full of detected Britons is like pouring
fresh water among fish in a pail. He
is patriotic, but no Chauviniste, and is
aware that Bunker Hill was but a
British defeat. He does not talk about
the var and Mr.. Abraham Lincoln.
We are sorry when he goes away and
glad when he comes back again. with a
new budget of good stories, for, if he
has national trait, it is the swopping
of anecdotes. He is not a man that
anybody would think of trying to i'm
pose on. hut he is not demonstratively
acute. Never have seen a robustious
American nor an American who
preached, nor an American who told
pointless stories.-NortA american Re

THE WIFE OF PRINCE BISMARCK.
She IL tho Model of q Practical Meth
odical German Matron.

II little is known in England oi
Prince Bismarck's private life, still
less, says Mrs. Pereira, is known of the
years has shared his home. The Prin-
cess Bismarck is described as the very
model of practical, methodical Ger.
man matron. with an eye for. every de-
tail household arrangement and econ
omy and a heart for the comfort and
well-being of each housemate, from
the highest to the lowest. Weddings,
it has been observed, not seldom give
rise to other weddings.
It was at the wedding of friend
that Bismarck first met Fraulein Johan-
ma Won Puttkamer. She was one OF
the bridemaiis, and the stately lady
made then and there an impression on
the young Baron. which eliminated in
an offer of marriage three years later.
The key to the Princess character is to
be found. says the same biographer, in
her words: THAT my husband is 9
public character is a fact to which
often find it painful enough to resign
myself. But as for me. his wife. what
have to do with publicity? do not
exist for publicity. but wholly and solely
for him." >
This perfect union of souls. however,
Mrs. Pereira confesses, has not pre-
vented the Princess husband from
posing occasionally as victim to
family claims. In one letter he says,
referring to d projected excursion to
the seaside, Il have held out against it
for long time; but as all the mothers
and aunts are unanimous in declaring
that nothing but sea water and sea air
can do poor Mariechen any good. /
know that if still refuse every cold in
the head which may befall her to the
10th year of her age will be set down
to my avarice and paternal barbarity."
Again he writes: Yesterday 1 was
reduced to such state of despair by
all these plannings that / was posi-
lively determined to give up the whole
journey; and went to bed with he
firm resolution at all events to travel
straight through without stopping any
where on the way. But Johanna at
tackled me in the night. with the young
ster in her arms, and, by dint of all the
arts which drove man out of Paradise.
she of course carried her point, and
the original scheme is to be carried
out"
1t is only fair to the Princess after
this to quote her husbands loving let
ter from Biarritz: Il have bad ceu-
science. because am seeing SO much

The Highest Point In Africa.

When the scientific world laughed at
the humble missionary Rebmann, who
reported over forty years ago that he
had found snow-crow ned mountain
under the equator. he merely replied:
II was brought up in Switzerland. and
I ought to know a snow-capped peak
when I see one." That was the first
event in the history of modern dis
covery in Central Africa, and it is
only within the past few weeks that
we have had the details of DIR. Hans
Meyers final triumph over Kihma-
Marc, whose snowy, Kibo dome had
defeated the efforts of a number of ex-
plorers.
ReKmann would have felt repaid for
all the ridicule that was showered up
on him if he could have seen DR..
Meyers companion practiced Alpine
climber, with his ice ak and rope and
snow spectacles cutting steps up the
steep icy slope. Both climbers paused
to rest every ten minutes, because the
rarity of the air made continuous eff
fort impossible. In these periods of
rest they could diinly see the far-dis-
tant plains through the openings in the
clouds below them. Then, when on
their second attempt, three da,s after
their first effort, they reached the
highest point in Africa. about 19. $50
feet above the sea, they found them
selves on the edge of great crater
over a mile across and $50 feet deep,
the icy mantle sinking in terraces from
the edge of the crater to the floor.
while through great gap in the west
wall mighty glacier, about mile
and half long, swept down the
mountain side.
Seen from below, the top of Kibo
looks like great snow dome, and no
one ever imagined that an abyssmal
crater would be found there until
Meyer stood on its edge.
