MADISON. Wis, Nov. I4-It is believed

the entire proceedings would he set down
as unconstitutional, and therefore void.
The Cooper law has one clause which h
believed especially to violate the co1stitu-

reads ~ follows:

German Discipline.

The Empress Victoria. wife of the
late Emperor Frederick Of Germany,
has always been a careful and keen
eyed disciplinarian in domestic life.
She notices the slightest variation In
the dress of housemaid as quickly -
she used TO detect fault in her chill
dren. aud Furnishes one as inexorably
as the other. Prince Henry. the
brother of the present emperor, had,
when Il small boy. the greatest objec-
ton to his daily bath. and the nursery
became every morning the scene of .
vigorous aud fearful struggle on his
part against Tubing"
His mother tried in vain to persuade
him that baths were inevitable, and
that he must submit to them: but she
finally gave the nurse orders one
morning to let him have his own way.
Prince Henry, confident that he had
gained remarkable victory, was ex-
ultant, and when he set olt for his
morning walk took no pains to con-
ceal his triumph. He INDUCED in
sundry taunting remarks 10 his attend
ants: but Oh returning home lac was
surprised to notice that the sentinel at
the gate did moi present arms as he
passed.
On reaching the palace he found q
second sentinel equally reniss, and
knowing as well as any Of his
punctilious military race what was
due to his rank, the little fel-
low walked up TO the man and
asked, severely: do you know who
amr "Yes, Hoheit, said the SEN
tinel, standing motionless. Who am
II" "Prinz Heinrich. why don't
you salute, them Because we do
not present arms to an unwashed
prince, f" replied the sentinel, who had
received his orders from the princes
mother. The little fellow said not
word. but walked on, bravely winking
back the two big tears which filed his
eyes. Next morning, however, he
took his bath with perfect docility, and
was never known to complain OF it
again. San Francisco Argonaut.

Tact In Managing the Boys.

A quaint story is told about Mas1R
Tommy Anderson, an old time peda-
gogue. Once he taught a school In
Pennington where the boys had driven
out several teachers. He found that
the chief conspirator was good look
ing, grown up girl, bright, saucy and
proud. The schoolmaster wore hn
hair in cue. as was the fashion in
those days. When he was doing 0
sum-" with his head down. she tossed
his cue back ard forth as if it were
a toy, much TO the amusement of the
scholars. Uncle Tommy said nothing,
but kept up quite a thinking. He
knew if he called out the guilty girl
and punished her the big boys would
rise aud carry him cut. So he adopted
unusual tactics 4 conducting mis-
campaign.
He found a lot Of long hair hanging
up in barn. From this he selected
and smoothed out bl nch resembling
a cue. and tied il up nicely with rib
bon. Taking this to lie school room
early the next morning he suspended
II from the peg where tie girl always
hung her cloak aud hood, then he
commenced To set copies as usual.
When she came in and spied the curl
Gus continuance She looked surprised
aud puzzled Quoth Master Tommy
in a mild tone Of voice. Miss. have
brought that bunch Of hair for you to
use as plaything instead Of my cue"
The proud sp..ated girl was Inundated
before the whole school and could not
help crying. Uncle Tommy lad won
the victory by stratagem rather than
by force Of arms and had no further
difficulty with his scholars. Farming

In June, 1865, while Mr.. Casey was
an auctioneer in Quebec, a schooner

schooner passed Quebec, but short
distance below that city storm struck
her and she was wrecked. The crew
and officers were never seen, but the
derelict was picked up by some Quebec
sailors, who claimed salvage.
The goods recovered were put into
the admiralty court 10 be sold, and
Thomas Casey was the auctioneer to
whom the sale was intrusted. He
opened the seven trunks and found
them filled with rich velvet suits,

plumes and various other theatrical &C.

Authorized Naval Designs Finished

WASHINGTON, Oct 20.-When the adver-
tisements for proposals for building the
ram torpedo boat and torpedo cruiser were
issued Saturday, 1t marked the completion
by the navy department of all the work of
new construction which it has been author
lied to undertake with two exceptions
These are submarine monitor, and a
duplicate of the Vesuvius, which
when undertaken will be constructed
on the lires originally laid down.
Congress at its last session made provision
for six new vessels most of them of heavier
type and more complete construction than
any heretofore undertaken TO be built and
the naval authorities are felicitating them
selves upon the fact that they have within
three weeks after adjournment been able
to complete all of the designs, issue pro-
posals and in several cases award contracts
for the construction of their vessels. In
addition to this record of quick designing,
the construction bureau was charged dur
ing the time with the preparation of plans
for five vessels authorized to be built by
the preceding Congress.

New Union Depot for Denver.

DENVER, Colo, Oct. 2O.-TSpecial tele-
gram to TIE HERALDl.-J Brisbin Walker
of New York, formally resident of this
city, is here with plans for the new union
depot which he says will be built on the
site at River Front park, just beyond the
present tracks. Two eastern capitalists
are interested with him in this undertaking,
and 100000 will be spent in the construc-
ton of new buildings which will be
fashioned after the Pennsylvania depot at
Philadelphia. 1t will be three stories high,
built of stone, complete in every detail and
very ornamental. The approaches thereto
will be from the Sixteenth street viaduct.
Two roads running into the present depot.
the Santa F'e and Burlington, it is reported,
have signiied their desire to use it and it is
probable the other roads will follow, as the
1rackage facilities will be superior to the
present accommodations. No date has
been fixed for beginning work on it but
Mr.. Walker says these details will be
arranged during the present week.
