How . Farmer Made Q Handsome San
 without sIuch Trouble.
 Che of the best gems of Allen, of Mississippi, says Washington corre-$ spondent of the New York Tribune, v'as dropped the other night at Cham l.rlin's. Half a dozen congenial spirits v ere seated together at table and one ting and another led Allen to reel of full dozen of stories. Tho last one was about his Tupelo constituent, Bill Brown. Bill is an old farmer who owns half the marshes around Aliens native city. A year ago he bought a young bull from 8 lawyer who is shrewd fell low and known throughout Aliens dis trict.
 Brown wasn't quite sure of his bar gain,' said Allen, ''so every time the lawyer went that way he hedge6 SO much that the lawyer grew extravagant in his praise.'
 ''I tell you, Brown" said he, as he rode by the farmhouse, that's the finest animal in the whole country. I'd ride any time two miles out of my way just to pass it in your meadow. I sold it to you for S75, but reckon it's worth-''
 "How much is it worth, cap'n?' said the farmer. "Well, if I was selling it to-day wouldn't let it go for a cent less than S25O. It's worth that and l congratu- late you on shaving me so neatly" Bill Brown felt pretty good over the bull, and every tiuc tho saw the law yer they talked about it, the lawyer al- ways repeating that he would not sell it for less than $25o. The lawyer in the meantime had be- come counsel for Mississippi railroad and had to appraise and settle all difh- culties for the corporation. One day as he sat in his office loutish Bill Brown came in, twirled his hat be- tween his thumbs, and said in a wheed- ling tone:
 II reckon that air bull is good for a pert sum, cap'n.'
 ''Certainly, MT. Brown, certainly; s25o couldn't buy it of mo if l still had it in my possession.'
 ''Well. cap'n, that air bull was run over by yer railroad las night, an I reckon you'll see that they pay me S250 | for it"

CARDINAL MANNING ON LABOR.
 The New York Herald's European edition of February 16 publishes an i'm portant letter from Cardinal Manning on the right of labor. It is in response to the request of Richard Fleischer, editor of the Deutsche Revue, for the Cardinals opinion on the invitation of Emperor William of Germany to the European powers to meet in conference on the subject of labor and the state of the millions in every country who live by the wages of labor. Says Cardinal Manning:
 "I think this imperial act the wisest and worthiest that has proceeded from any soverelgn of our times. The condition of wage earning people of every European country is a grave danger to every Euro ployment of women and children, the scantiness of wages, the uncertainties of employment, the fierce competition fos- tered by modern political economy and the destruction of domestic life resulting from all these and other kindred causes have rendered it impossible for men to live a human life. How can a man who works fifteen or sixteen hours a day live the life of father to his children How can a woman who is absent from
 home all day long do the duties of a
 mother? Domestic life is impossible
 but on the domestic life of the people the whole political order of human
 society reposes. If the foundation be ruined, what will become of the super structure? The Eml e.or William has therefore shown himself to be true and
 farsighted statesman

 BERLIN, Feb. 21.-The size of the vote boiled at the general election was phenomenal. The election officials were overwhelmed with work and at many of the polling places were unable to cope with the crowds of elec- tors who during the dinner hour hastened to deposit their votes. Many anti-Semite Conservatives voted for the Socialist candidates in order to spite Herr Virchow.
 Herr Liebknecht and Herr Singer are elected. The latter, @ Socialist. defeated Eugene Richter, one of the most disting uished of German politi- clans and leader of the German lib- eral party. Singer is the man whose libel case against the StaaLsburger Zei- tung made great deal of noise in December last. He gained his case and the editor was condemned to pay fine, and this fine the Emperor remitted, using his royal prerogative to set aside the verdict of 8 court of justice; This made great sensation, and Singers candidacy became sort of rallying centre for protest against such an abuse of power. His election was an almost necessary consequence.
 In Ham burg the Socialists Bebel, Dietz and MetzRer are elected.
 The great fact of the election is the enormous and unexpected increase in tho Socialist vote. This party has manifested strength in places where 1t was unknown before, and other par tics will have to make Q firm combi 5, tion against it to stem the tide of the supplementary elections. In the vote in Berlin alone these changes arc shown: The Socialist vote is increased 20, GOO, the Deutsche Freisinnige 5000 and the Conservatives have lost 34.00O Tho apparent result is that the gov ernmcnt parties have lost 15 seats, ant the Socialists throughout German. have doubled their votes,
