Christianity

Meeting His Subjects.

A Berlin letter tells this story Of Emperor
William. The incident occurred during his
visit to little Silesian town where certain
military maneuvers were conducted recently.
The burgomaster took it upon himself to
introduce various OF the town dIgntares
to his majesty. Fourteen of them were
standing in line and the mayor began as fol-
lows: Herr Peter Paul Schmidt. his majesty
the German emperor, King of Prussia Mar
grave OF Brandenburg. Herr Heinrich Will
helm Sauerkraut-his majesty the German
Emperor, King of Prussia Margrave Of Brand

introduce Herr Leiberwurst to His &c, &C. -
the kaiser interrupted him. laughingly, with
the remark: That will do, Herr Burgomaster;
suppose the gentlemen know who / am. Just
mention their names and then there will be
some prospect Of little rofrcshment before

XinIinS for Girls.

From the London Daily News.
The violin has now fairly taken its place as
an instrument for girls. The only question,
indeed, seems to be whether it is designed to

article from the pen Of MIR. Joyce Barrett in
the HOmdn'S World that this is after al! only a
revival, as we learn from figures in sculptured

more elegant than a good style OF "bowlnd."
Giving violin lessons is now notoriously one OF
the most profitable branches OF the music mis-

surprising to learn that there are many bad
teachers who are supplying the deficiency

A Political and Personal Speech-He
Says That He Has Done With Politics.

The speech of Senator Joseph E. Brown,
which was read for him by Col. l. W. Avery,
brought great assemblasc of prominent peo-
pie to the Georgia state fair at Macon yester-
day. The speech fills seven columns of small
type. Two columns are devoted to history OF
the settlement of North America, leading up to
the formation of the United States government,
and then history of the political parties up to
and following the four years war.
The mistake, he said, of giving tho ballot to
the negro would only be equaled by that of
passing the election bill As long as white
men live in a country they will rule it. The
old-time farmers of the south were of the
highest type OF tho Caucasian race. They
should be Just. however, to the negro by
making him feel the community OF interest
which bnds them together. The negro should
be made acquainted with the treatment which
their colcr receives in the northern states. In
this way they Will learn who are their true
friends. To those who feared possible war in
the future he urged GOODNESS. There will be
no war. The negro question is not local to the
south. 1t reverses white majorities in the
north, where there doz n states held in
the republican ranks simply by negro votes.
The Mckinley bill, he said, was an abuse OF
the power of levving tariff 1t was unequal
and unjust. This should not preclude the peo-
pie OF the south from building up factories
and availing themselves of all tine benefits
which protection gives them Transfer the
mills from New England to the south and let
the money come streaming down this way.
The farmers movement was sign of return
ing interest in government affairs among the
people ana was an omen of hope. They had
long let the other professions monopoZe the
business of government and now they had re-
solved to elect men more i'll sympathy with
their own profession. 1t was all right 30 long
as they respected tho rights of others.
Reviewing his own life Senator Brown said
he had never been defeated before the people.
He told of his early struggles and final success
commencing it as an example to poor young
boys. With this utterance he retired from
politics. Under no circumstances would he &C

four or five mud-begrimed Coroans, and another
native was told to push button i'll remote

were intently looking into the bucket When
some burning incandescent lights were lowered
into the water and their glitter was seen far
down below the surface the faces of the natives
were filled with wonder; but the last straw
came when number of lamps were dropped
into the darkness and then flashed out in a
blaze OF light at the bottom of the harbor.

portant part in these fantastic tricks. they has
lilly scrambled over the side and escaped from
