THE New Crown Or The GERMAN EMPEROR
is a beautiful work Of art and of great mag
n~ifcence. 1t has been designed and the gems
in it selected by His Majesty himself, in con-
junction with the German painter Herr Emil
Doepler, Jun. The gems came from the fa-
nous collection in the possession Of the House
of Hohenzollern, which is chiefly distinguish
ed for its magnificent pearls and diamonds,
some of the finest specimens Of which have
been mounted in the Emperor's crown. His
Majesty has had the crown made to exactly fit
his own head. The whole broad frontal of the
crown is bordered with large diamonds, mount
ed on beautiful gold leaf work, from which
rise eight diamond hoops, each set with four
diamonds in the shape of a rosette, with a row
of fine large pearls, the whole being crowned
by a cross studded with brilliant diamonds.
There are also numerous other gems on the
crown.-EuropeGn Mail.
The Chicago Pasteur Institute for the pre-
ventive treatmen Of hydrophobia is to be
congratulated on its success. During the first
ten months of its existence So persons have
received treatment, and all are now enjoying
good health. The exercise of ordinary COM
mon, or rather uncommon, sense has no doubt
contributed TO this result. 1t has been the
invariable practice Of the institution never to
submit persons to treatment unless they pro-
duce reasonable evidence to demonstrate the
madness of the animals which have bitten
them.-Ibid.
At the fortnightly meeting Of the Irish
National League, held on july IA, Mr..
Leamy, NJ. P, presiding, Mr.. Harrington,
Mp, stated thar ell hld been received
since the last meeting, and that E31 had
neen granted 10 eylcted tenants. Mr..
Leamy SAID that the result of the Carlow
election had been ii serious defeat TO them.
but a right cause could never be convert
ed into a wrong cause by any number of de-
feats, and the fight would be carried on from
county to county. Iu many of the churches
if not all, the priests spoke from the altar
regarding the election. He VAS himself in
church when the priest read from the altar
the political letter of the bishops and ex-
pressed the hope that the people would not
vote for the nominee OF Mr.. Parnell. The
Carlow election should make them serious
~ consider what was to he done if they
were to retrieve the ground lost aud carry
on the fight with some prospect of victory.
They were satisfied thattIatcOuld Only lie done
by once more eStabliS hing III the country ii
complete syStem of organisation. The Ma
tiOnal Gov ention would assemble in Dublin
on July %, and in it would be found men
who had been in the forefront of the nation
al struggle during the last II years. Il was
very difficult, Of course, at he present time
to form branches of the League. The init
midatiOn practiSed OH the men standing by
the national cause was something appalling.
Men were boycOtted in their business, and
were not only threatened with eternal loss,
but they were also threatened and the
threat was m ade good in some caseS-with
temporal loss. The SecederS now told them
that they were going to have a new leader
and a strong leader. Well all they had to
say was that, no matter whom their OppO
nent might place at their head, they wolld
never lower the flag and never surrender.
Mr.. A. Kettle thought they had no reason
to be respondent about the future. If the
clergy were to sweep the country and if Mr..
ParnelI were only to have a party Of six.
he would urge on him to stand and act on
fixed lines, and to force he policy and the
claims that should be made on the part OF
Ireland.
Undeterred by their failures in the recent
electoral contests the followers of Mr.. PANEL
IN Ireland are making elaborate preparations
for a prolonged struggle, WITH a m IRE advanced
