Madam, | Am the Emperor.

The correspondent OF the Philadel-
phia Inquirer in Berlin relates this
story: At one Of the embassies yes
terday | heard II capital story, In fact
the best told 90 far OF the Emperor.
After great deal Of trouble and wire
pulling, a young American lady, who
was an expert pianiSte, obtained per
mission TO pay before the Emperor
and Empress at Potsdam. She had
never played before royalty before,
nor ever seen the Emperor William
and. Of course, was very nervous.
When she was ushered into the pri-
vate apartments OF their majesties.
how ever she was much chagrined
and mortified at being informed that
the empress alone would be her audi
ence.
The empress entered, attended by
her suite, and smiling courteous
greeting to the young American lady,
motioned her to begin. Conquering
her nervousness, the pianiste pro-
ceeded to play and was getting along
gloriously aud evidently to the graft
fichtion Of the imperial listener,
when in the very middle OF a difficult
and intricate movement Il light
haired young man came into the
room, attired in undress uniform.
He approached the piano, remained
listening attentiveIy, at the conclu-
sion OF the piece turned and paid
slight compliment TO the performer,
who received his praise rather coldly
without rising. but fixed her eyes on
the Empress i'm evident anticipation
of Il verdict from that august quar-
ter but the Empress made no sign.
His Majesty, noticing the indiffer-
ence with which the pianiste had re
ceived his remarks, looked for a mo
ment very angry; but his counten-
ance quickly clearing, he turned to
the American lady with a smile and
said graciOusly: II do not think we
are acquainted, madam. Permit me
to introduce myself. | AIN the EN-
peror"

The Gordian Knot.

The legend Of the Gordian knot is
quite interesting. Gordius, the hero of
the story, was peasant. One day
while plowing in the field an eagle
alighted upon the bow of his oI-yoke
and remained there until evening.
This Gordius was not slow 10 take as
an omen Of coming greatness. Accord
ingly, 10 learn the meaning Of the sign,
he went forthwith 10 the soothsayers.
He first consulted the prophecies OF
Telmissus, whom he met at the gates
of the city. Her Interpretation Of his
omen suited Gordius so well that he
afterward married her. Some years
later the little country OF Phrygia, in
which Gordius lived, was sorely veNed
with civil wars, and, according 10 the
horoscope Of the soothsayers, the ora
Gle had declared that new king, one
who would end all disturbances, would
be brought into the city in a peasant :
oy-cart. The wise men OF the country
were I'm council deliberating on what
the oracle declared, when Gordiu., his
wife and son, appeared in their cart.
The humble peasant was hailed aS the
peoples king, a compliment which he
was not slow to acknowledge.
The o1-yoke which had, with the
eagle. been the stepping stone 10 all
this good fortune, was consecrated 10
Jupiter. and the cart dedicated to
Zeus BasileuS. The yoke. after con
secration, was fastened to a beam in
the council chamber 10y ropes OF bark,
Gordius, the king, himself tying the
knot. and so ingeniously was it done
that no one could loos Ell il. Again
the oracle was brought forth, this
time declaring that whoever would
unite the knot should become master
OF all Asia.
When Alexander the Great visited
Phrygia he was shown the knot and
told the words of the oracle.
Then said the conqueror, Il will
perform the task. So saying, he
slashed the knot in twain with his
sword
The expression "Gordian knot has
from this legend come TO mean any
great difficulty, and the phrase ITO cut
the Gordan knot means evading the
difficulty in some ingenious way.

HOW THREE WERE MADE ONE.

A Cannibal maid and her Hottentot Blade
They met in a rock defile;
A gay eagle plume was his only costume,
The lady was wrapt in a-smile.
Together they strolled, and his passion he
told,
In pleading and tremulous tone,
While swiftly they trod on the blossom
strewn sod,
And spooned In the twilight alone.
Then sweetly she sighed as she shyly replied,
With tender and fairy-like mien;
She murmured the word. when a war whoop
was heard
A rival had burst on the scene.
A savage Zulu to the trysting place drew,
Demanding bis Cannibal bride;
But the Hottentot said, with toss ofhis head,
"TIl have thy degenerate hide!'
The Hottentol flew at the savage Zulu.
The Zulu he went for the Blade,
And fercely they Wed in their strength and
their pride,
And fought for the Cannibal maid.
She perched on a stone, with shapely shin
bone
Clasped tight in her tapering arms,
And watched the blood ny with love laden
eye,
While the warriors fought for her charms.
When fercer they fought and the ringing
blows caught
With thrust and parry aud punch.
She said, with a smile, "Ina n very short while
will have those two fellows for lunch"
The purple blood flows from the Hottentot's
nose,
The Zulu is struck by the Blade;
Then each Of them sighed gasplng-he died,
And looked on the CannibaI maid.
She made nice stew Of the Savage Zulu,
And scr mbled the Hottentots brains
Twas a dainty menu when the cooking was
through,
And she dined on her lovers remains.
The savage Zulu and the Hottentot too,
Both sleep in Cannibal tomb;
Bat three were made one, and the story Is
done
The maiden strolled OF in the gloom.

More Noise than Sense.

Maj. Bolts. the Kentucky jury law
yer. who died the other day. became
excited in behalf Of one Talbot. who
was running for Legislature against
one Stanton.
Stanton was having IL all his own
way, but Bolts took Talbot aside
and said to him.
John, let me advise you when
you start out next time speak loud
and long. IL doesn't make a bit of
difference what you say; utter the
first words that occur 10 you, but on
no account halt or hesitate. and or-
casionally turn round 10 him and ray.
i want you 10 answer that when you
follow me.
The young men started on their
second round and IN less than two
days reports came TO town that such
eloquenA as dropped from the lips of
Talbot had never been heard in Ten
nsssee he was literally tearing Stan
ton to pieces.
Combinations Of this report fol-
lowed fast and followed faster.
When the boys came home Bolts ask
ed Stanton how he was getting on.
Badly" was the response. II be
lieve he will beat me. You might
take the dictionary and cut out Of II
5000 words and put them in hat and
shake il, and then draw out word by
word and set them Ia a row and you
would about have Talbott's speech.
and what is the worst of it. every FIVE
minutes he turns TO me and says; i
want you to answer that, when there
l. nothing to answer"

said Mr.. c., unfolding his napkin as he sat
down at the table. "You remember. do
you not. that old Farmer Hayseed lost his
barn last year by fret They said at the
time that he was insured more than the
building was worth. and that he was not
sorry 20 see the old shed destroyed I'm
fortunately for his hopes, however, the in
surance people took advantage of an option
in their policy, and replaced the
barn instead Of giving him the
money greatly to his disgust. Not
long iafterward the travelling agent of
a life insurance company came into the
village, and amoag others solicited Mr..
Hayseed to effect an insurance on his life.
No, nor said the farmer. Il should feel as
IL l were a-going TO die tomorrow well,
srid the agent, facetiously, If that is the
case, take the insurance on your wife ,
You don't catch me there, either chuckled
the old man. 4 know the way of You in
surance chaps; you would just go and give
me another old jade even worse than the

A Paris correspondent of a London Jour
nal, says the New York Herald, is having
his fling at what he terms "an American
parvenu," who has ''had the bad taste to
wear the diamond necklace once owned by
Empress Eugene to recent ball given by
Princess Bonaparte"-a proceeding which
the correspondent seems to think was an eff
fort to demonstrate that she, "the Ameri-
can parvenu," had gold galore, while the
Bonapartes had lost throne and power.
This was probably not at all true. 1t is
doubtful if the woman who thus thought
lessly offended had any intention beyond
doing honor to her hostess fete by wearing
her richest and Frenchiest jewels. These
throne worshippers are too sensitive.
