THE GERMAN EMPEROR.

This Versatile individual Described by
Privy Councillor Geffcken.
William Ii is undoubtedly the most re-
markable sovereign of the present time. He
is modern man, notwithstanding certain
prociivities which still adhere to him, like
pieces OF the shell of an egg from which the
bird has issued. With restless activity he
seizes upon all questions which agitat, our
time, be they large or small. To-day he
speaks on great European affairs, opens
new issues to German commerce, and pro-
claims social reform; tomorrow he opens
an art exhibition and takes personal part
In the performance OF Wildenbruch's patri-
olic drama, The New Lord" He presides
over his Council and shows himself a ready
debater, opens scholastic conference, lay
ing down his educational plans. and indie
fatigably travels over his country in order
to see everything with his own eyes. Much
in all this may be attributed to his active
temper, but the moving principle is un-
doubtedly I he high conception of his duty
as 1.-THE first servant of the State" This
conception IS bound up with a strong con-
sci0usness of his eminent position; he feels
himself to be the pillar of the State, called
to carry out great mission. As before the
dismissal CT Bismarck he said that he would
crush any one trying to obstruct his path,
so he declared in his late speech at Dussel-
dorf: "Oniy one-is master In this country :;
lshall suffer no other" 1t wonld be unjust
W see III Such utteranceS, caused oy nigh
consciousness of his power. absolutist te nd
encies on the part of the Emperor! He is
constitutional prince and has rigidly re-
spected parliamentary rights. But in time
when the principle of authority and order is
undermined in many ways, the youthful
sovereign feels that he is the center of
monarchical discipline, without which the
State can neither exist nor progress and he

he swiftest one of the lot and placed the
necessary funds at his disposal. A few
days Suffced for this transaction. Mrs.
John AIlaire became the owner of the
Davitt, the name of which was at once
changed to the MOlly's Hope, a most appro-
pirate name under tn circumstances, and
one of good augury.
1t was screw steamer of nine hundred
tons burden and constructed with very
commodious coal bunkers, which would en-
able her to run long distances without re-
coaling. Rugged like three-masted brig

enable her to attain speed of fifteen knots

good sailer and easily handled, answered all

fined seas, filled with islands, islets and
reefs.

DR.. John Hall of New York is reported as
saying that he finds 1t a means of grace to
stand before one of the great store windows
on Broadway. and thank the Lord for the
large number of things in that window he
can do without In this luxurious age of
the multiplication of needs, it is well to
ponder such a saying. 1t is akin to that
grand utterance of Carlyle's: ''The frac-
ton of human happiness may be increased,
not so much by increasing the numerator as
by lessening the denominator."

trlcts OF the interior, is incontestably
much more refined than our peasant
woman of the west. She has pretty
hands and pretty delicate feet; mere
touch would suffice to transform her into
one OF those ladies that are painted on
vases or transparent screens, and there
would be little left to teach her of man

She almost always cultivates pretty

She may possibly be more honest than

reserved with strangers, more timid

welcome and her smiles
In the villages of the interior, far from
the recent railroads and from all modern

He wished She Was a Centipede

A party was given in st. Louis to
which was invited a noble but bashful
cowboy.
He was a good looking fellow, and one
of the young ladies present kindly took
an interest in him and tried to make him
feel at ease. He fell desperately in love
at once, and the hostess, noticing this
encouraged him all she could In leav-
ing the house the young lady who had
taken friendly interest in the cowboy
forgot her overshoes and the hostess told
the young Lochinvar from the plains
that he might return them to the girl if
he wished
The herder leaped at the chance, and
presented himself in due time at the
young lady's house. She was surprised
to see him, but greeted him cordially
you forgot your overshoes last night,
said he awkwardly. handing her the
package.
She thanked him and opened it. why.

Characteristic Autographs.

Count Enzenberg, the Hessian charge
d affaires in France, had one hobby-the
collecting of autographs of famous men
On one of the pages of the Hessian's al
bum the statesman Guizot had written:
"All through my long career | have
learned to forgive much and often, but
to forget nothing"
The sentiment is not Christian one
nor is it notable for its worldly wisdom
1t is strange that Guizot, who was a pro
fessed Christian and reputed to be world
ly wise, should have written it. His
rival Theirs must have noticed the in
consistency, for underneath it he wrote
"A little shortness of memory cannot
detract from the sincerity of forgive
ness.
Bismarck, while Prussian ambassador
at Paris, being asked to write something
on the same page, wrote;
LAS for myself, existence has taught
me to forget many things, and to get
myself forgiven for a great many more.

One night a young woman who is
somewhat dependent upon her eye
glasses to get her through the world
without cropping took Madison ave
nue. horse car out to Seventy eighth
street. When she reached her destina-
ton her glasses were gone. Nearly
three hours later she took a Madison
avenue car back down town. As she
stepped on to the platform something
glistening caught her eye. She bent
over. The thing looked like a pair of
glasses. She picked them up. They
were glasses and they were her very
own, unbroken, save for the cord that
had let them fall from her neck. The
car was evidently the same one in
which she had come out, and it had
made one or two long trips since then,
down to the postofiice and back. Yet
the glasses had lain there on the rear
platform with all the passengers step
ping in and out, waiting for just herself
to come and pick them up.-New York
