THERE was very painful scene when the
Empress of Austria visited the royal palace in
naples. the other day. She walked up and
down the room, which she had last seen thirty
years ago. when her sister the Queen of
Naples, evidently quite overcome by her c.
objections, and presently went into corner to
look at picture which had attracted her at
tehtlon, and which, to the immense dismay of
her suite, turned out to be portrait of the crown
Prince Rudolf, whose tragical death quite upset
hls mother s mind, his nams being never men

John Justice, and wore pair of trouser which

of his class he pushed his face up in front of
the girls and remarked, You're q pretty pair

THERE Is no truth in the sensational stories
about quarr1l between Prince Bismarck and
Emperor William respecting the memoirs
which the ex-chancellor proposes presently to
publish. The fact is that Prince Bismarck has
scarcely completed the arrangement of mis- vast
tons, SO that he has not yet begun TO write or
dictate the contemplated work There can be
no controversy in future this subject be-
tween the emperor and Prince Bismarck, be-
cause the prince is perfectly aware that by
law, which was passed by himself, it is a ermi-
nal offense high treason in fact. to publish or
quote from any state paper VIVA tever, or to re-
veal any state or ministerial secret without
special permission Of the reigning sovereign.
Bismarck punished Count Won Arnim severely
for the alleged breach of this law, and that I'M
been for many years locked up in the imperial
chancery at Berlin. where also the famous diary
of Emperor Frederick is deposited.

rier-JournGl, Chinook Indian woman, known
to Father Hulk great traveller and missionary
of that period, while he was with the Indians on
what we now call the Pacific coast, was many
years afterward met by him in Asia. Through
many vcissitudes and strange experiences. she
had passed from tribe to tribe and place to
place, always moving northward, until she
reached Behring's Strait, and there having gone
out in one of the iarge canoes used by the sea-
faring Indians of that re gion. in great storm
| they were driven across the strait to wreck and
death to all save her, and she wandered on until
she met Father Hulk in the interior OF Asia she
had not sought to return, but, following the
spirit of adventure bred IN her by her strange
experiences, she went on to seq new lands and
| new people. No Indians had encountered ASiat
| les No Asiatics had seen American indians
| unless W. accept Father Huks suggestion from
| this incident, that the American Indians are the
| lost tribes of Israel. Was she an explorer and
| discoverer?
