LONDON, March 10.-Berlin advices
state that Bismarck's presence in the
reichstag is conlidentially anticipated.
The London Times frankly advises the
prince to enter the reichstag If he wishes
to express his opinion plainly on affairs
Of state, instead OF using the columns of
newspapers which he is supposed to con-
troll, but for whose utterances he does
not assume open responsibility. The
prince, 1t is said, now seriously considers
the acceptance of the latest offer made
to him for Gestemunde in Hanover, and
it is expected that he will accept it. The
Bismarckian policy is evidently regain
ing something of its strength in Germany,
and the prince could not enter the
reichstag at = more favorable time to
himself

DUBLIN, March 10.-The Irish Local
Government board has issued q report
on the failure Of the potato crop. It
states that the districts in which the
disease appeared comprise about one
half OF Ireland, and that the disease is
due to planting old champion seed.
Continuing the report says that the corn
crops are mostly good, and the other re-
sources of the farmers are about up to
the average. Briefly tho re-
port goes to show that the
small farmers are in good circum.
stances, but are confronted with scar
city OF potatoes which is unprecedented
in the last thirty years. This is causing
the deepest distress in the congested
districts.

the Grand Duke Alexis, now nearing
his 10th year, is not married and

lie the conjugal tragedy that marked
the early wears of this intelligent and
handsome prince. He fell in love,
long years ago, with a young lady at
tached to the household OF his mother,
and, like an honorable man, he made
the woman that he loved his wife. The
fact of this marriage came to the
knowledge of his father. who at once
caused the young couple to be separ-
ated by the fullexercise of his despotic
authority. The grand duke was sent
off on a voyage round the world, his
marriage was annulled, and his wife
compelled by threats of Punishment to
Siberia, aud of total separation from
her child "a boy of extraordinary beauty
and engaging qualities) to consent to
q second union with an obscure physi-
clan. By this measure all possible re-
union with her royal husband was rem
dered impossible. The subsequent
marriage of Alexander II. to the Prin'
cess Dolgourouki, though only a NOR.
ganatic one, might, you think, have
taught him a little human feeling to
ward his son and that sons wife ane
offspring.

A. Pertinent Inquiry.

A four-Jear-old miss created a good
deal of CONSERVATION, not unmixed
with amusement, in a small social cir
clio up town. She had been on u visit
to her grandfather, and while there
was in the habit of playing with him
as he lay, half asleep, on the sofa.
One day as her chubby fingers glided
caressingly over the old gentleman's
scant locks lie murmured drowsily. in
reply to some infantile remark: Eyes,
Pm your poor old bald-headed grand
father" One evening not long after
ward a young-old bachelor was maxi
ing Il call on tho family, toward a
certain member of which, only eigh-
teen and decidedly pretty, he inclined
with very tender feelings. Into the
pleasant circle where the bachelor sat
flashing bright nothings of society talk
entered the four-year-old. Unseen by
the gentleman she sauntcred around
the room inspecting him, and gazed
with especial interest on his polished
scalp, which cleaned in the light OF
the chandelier. Suddenly, with a burst
of ingenious s%ociability, she said;
"Whosc poor old %bald-headed grand.
father are you?"--S ome7UiUe Journal.

The SO called hoboe element on II
streets are rapidly increasing in num-
beers, attracted by the two new roads
on which work will soon begin. The
name and stigma attached to this class
comes from a comparatively small Gle

for greener pastures and who squander
their money as soon as earned, but it Is
unjust to class all seekers for work I'M
der the name hoboe. Many honest lab
orers and farmers who after seeding are
forced to exc out an existance, to seek
work outside the ranch, are among the
new comer who are awaiting work.
