The Crown Prince and the plug Hat.
The little sons of the emperor of Ger
many were shown the mysteries of a cha
peau claque, or crush hat. Shortly after
ward, in. the anteroom of their father,
they found tall hat, and Immediately de-
sired to test their skill in shutting it up
Being an ordinary hat, and without the
claque mechanism, it naturally refused to
shut.
At last one little prince, growing impa
tient, said to his brother, ''Sit on it, Fritz
chenl" Fritz obeyed; there followed a
loud crack and roar of laughter from the
authors of the mischief. The emperor
sent out to ask the cause of the disturb
ance. Pointing to the smashed hat, the
young crown prince replied, with mill
tary salute, THE obstinate thing wouldn't
shut at first, but among us we managed to
make it change it's mindr
The wrecked hat was replaced by new
one, which the owner will doubtless keep
as souvenir of very amusing episode in
the life of his country's future head

A Toast to Georgia.

Alexander H. Stephens used to recite a
speech made at a dinner in Washington
whereat were gentlemen from several
states, among them Georgian not accus.
toned to such occasions. He had already
become embarrassed by listening to the
toasts in compliment of the other states,
and the graceful responses made by a
citizen of each, and when Georgia was
announced, vexed that nobody was there
more competent to do justice to the theme,
he rose with a feeling much like anger.
and shouted:

the best physicians of this city have as a
last resort come to Prof. Meyer and been
permantly cured.

A Mechanical Harp.

Harp playing by machinery is one Of the
novelties. The subsection of the harp has
been effected in the following manner: To
begin with, it is arranged so that the plane
of the strings is horizontal, the instrument
lying upon a table, after the fashion of a
either. Then, as regards the written music,
the notation of the traditional stave has
been abandoned and sheets upon which are
impressed mysterious groups of numbers
are used in it's stead When one of these
sheets is slid into frame made for the
purpose the meaning of the figures is in
terpreted.
Each of them falls under a string of the
instrument. and by picking at them in
numerical order with beveled pencil of
ivory the operator performs tune. Time
and phrasing are indicated by the spacing
and alignment of the numbers, nor are the
requirements of harmony forgotten. When
the melody of the air is adjudged INSULT
cient one of the figures is accompanied
a letter indicating that a button attaci
to the instrument, and bearing the same
symbol, should be at this juncture pressed.
This action, by bringing small saw of
ivory points into play, produces chord
suitable to the occasion.-New York Tele

IN ARCADE.

In Arcade $50 1t is said),
Where dwell all lovers true,
The paths within the woodland shade
For lovers wanderings are made
Just wide enough for two.
long have tried the golden gates
That shut out Arcade,
But he who at the portal waits,
Obedient to higher Fates,
Is blind-or claims to be.
He cannot see single soul,
Yet when maid and youth
Come by, the great gates upon roll,
And Eros, as passing toll,
Claims but one word of truth.
What that word is | cannot tell,
Yet think that can guess:
No other word holds such spell,
No other word would do as well,
1t surely must be Yes"
My lady, will you come with me?
One whispered word from you
Unlocks the gates of Arcade,
Where care and sorrow may not be,
And paths are made for two.

Life is too short for any vain endeavor,
For useless signing over vanished days:

that GROVER CLEVELAND Is the logical can
didnte Of the Democracy.
IfJAMEs G. BLAINE had received the Re-
publican nomination. tho adorers of fat
witted mediocrlty would have said that
GROVER CLEVELAND was tho logical candl-
date OF tho Democracy just the same.
Soft WILLIAM MCKINLEY had borne away
the banner ut Minneapolis. tho frantic free
traders would still have insisted that tho
logical candidate against him was tho man
who did not discover that there was any
such thing rs free trade or protection
either. until after he had been in the White
House moro than half his term. GROVER
CLEVELAND.
Ali Of which leads us to remark that IL
GROVER CLEVELAND is the logical candidate,
then the logical candidate will be left as
high and dry as BLAINE at Bar Harbor.

SO far as New York city is concerned
there has not been in many years an nppor-

political sins. Any one Of them would be fatal to

PRIDE.-He must not have such IN exalted
opinion Of himself as to feel him
self to be too good for his party.
Conference.-The must not covet the Presi-
dental nomination more times
than Washington or Jefferson did.
GLuTToNY.-l1is appearance should not indi-
cate that he needed exercise more
than sedentary office.
ANoER.-The friendly suggestion Of q m ountain
climber for his health should not
bring on a violent passion and a
torrent Of profane language.
ENvY.-He should not be envious OF others who
have worked increasingly for the
party and earned its complete con
fdence.
SLoTH.-He should not be ono who would re-
fuse to disturb his personal COM
fort by attending the funeral OF
such Democrat as Hendricks.
SELFIsHNEss.-IIe should not be incapable OF
generous. disinterestcd. loyal SER
vice to the party for tho sake OF

Tho nomination OF Mr.. WHrTEnAw REID

the candidates for this Office united In his

fairs. abilities proved in many departments
of intellectual effort. Judgment ripcned and
disciplined by experience. and that grcnt
advantage which proceeds from being
known in all parts OF the country. all these
belong to Mr.. REID. Everybody understands
that tiff he were Vice President. tho functions
