delighted to tell of a man Distinguished
for humor in his writing who excelled
him in this respect.
Said Mr.. Emerson:
This gentleman was so self conscious
that he never got sufficiently alone to write
a letter even to a friend without feeling
that he was being observed.
"He left the city," proceeds Mr.. Emer
son, lin order to be away from its crowds.
He hid himself in the woods. The soil
tary river was not solitary enough; the
sun and moon put him out.
When he built house the first thing
he did was to plant trees.
'sHe situated the house behind q forest
of oaks, and Immediately before the build
ing he put q great wall of evergreens
under the impression that they could hide
him all the year round.
'The most agreeable compliment you
could pay this man was to imply that you
had not observed him in house or street
where you had met him.
"While he suffered at being seen he
consoled himself with the delicious
thought of the great number of places
where he was not"

While visiting Delhi in 1869 had an on
portunity of seeing for myself the all now
ertui influence of caste, and for the first
time realized the disintegrating force of
this inhuman superstition.
1t should be known that it is regarded
as q degradation for member of one caste
to associate in any way with a member Of
another caste, particularly If that caste be
regarded as lower. A Brahmip. or priest
u would seem, while travelling throu s.h an
ara stretch OF country near Delhi met a
low caste woman carrying on her head an
earthen pitcher filled with water.
AS it would be degradation to drink
from the vessel in such hands, and he was
very thirsty, he compromised by scooping
out hole in the earth. Into this the wo
man poured some water, and the Brabmin
got down on his hands and knees and
drank.
Whlle the man was in this position, with
the woman bending over him, he was dis
covered by number of people of his own
class. lie was regarded by his associates
as defiled, and he was at once put on trial
before Brahmincal tribunal in the CITY.
The trial lasted for four days and the
man was declared guiltless, yet he had to
undergo months publication before he
was restored to his caste.

Identified by Mr.. Young.

Bellevue, Ida, Nov. 12.-At 10
o'clock last night Ex-Mayor L.
Young, a merchant of Bellevue,
was brutality beaten and robbed OF
1925 and his gold watch and chain.
His wife had retired and after clos
ing the rear of the store-rooms
Young approached the front en-
trance of store from Main street
preparatory to making his exit, as
cending to the suite Of rooms occu-
pied by family above the store
through the stairway from the
street. He had just reached the
door when two masked men rushed
on him with cooked revolvers held
close to his head saying: "We
mean business and want you to 90
back in the storeroom and open the
SAFE" At first the old gentleman
treated the assault as joke and
not until tho thugs reiterated the
demand in unmlstakaDle terms
did he realize the situation. Paw
ing no attention to the pistols, he
boldly refused to 60 to the safe and
ordered them out. He had scarelv
gotten the words out when the
thugs dealt him several vicious
blows on the head with their revol-
vers, laying the scalp open to the
skull in many places and telling
him unconscious to the floor.
They quickly dragged him back to
the storeroom, where they tied and
bound him in his Office chair in
front of bis safe. e
Observing that the bleeding man
was recovering consciousness, the
attention Of one robber was turned
to him again. Mr.. Young was or
dered to keep mum under penalty
of death. The combination of the
safe was only partially broken, and
in a second the expert had it open,
and, quickly going through it, Sc
secured the money and watch and
chain mentioned. Before making
their escape they bound up his
head with flannel to retard the
flow of blood from the wounds, and /
otherwise signified regret for resort
ing to such brutal measures, say
ing: 'sUncle Young we did not in
tend to hurt you and are sorry, but
you would not peaceably submit.
We will send man to release you
in ten minutes"
All this time Mr.. Young, though
nearly dead, was carefully observ-
ing the robbers, taking notes of
their clothing, shape, stature, hair
and voices for future use, and in
ten minutes after their departure
released himself and gave the
alarm. His description threw sus.

army. There are two editions of thh work, called respectively "The Big and ''The Little Waldersee," and copy of the latter is put into the hands of every German recruit on his enlist ment. Five or six of the Waldersee family were in the German army in 1888. A brother of the count was killed at the battle of Le Bourget during the siege of Paris. Another brother was commander in the German navy. The count went from the school of cadets into the artillery service. As captain he was transferred to the staff of the general of the army, and he distin guished himself in Berlin as thorough iy informed and scientific officer.
 Count von Waldersee is not such a voluminous author as Count von Moltke but what he has written is of the very best quality. The only complete work on the Danish war based on official sources and published half anonymous ly emanated from his pen.
 He is a man of tall and most distin- guished military presence and polished manners, combining in high degree the suariter in naOdO with the ,fortier in re-an attainment which is by no means
 
 whatever, especially in army circles. In fact, in addition to being an illus trious soldier, Count Waldersee is also brilliant courier, an impression which Gen. Roberts and his critical col. leagues from England did not fail to carry away with them from Hanover, when in the autumn of 1881 they at, tended the maneuver of the Tenth army corps and were objects of so muc1 hospitable attention from the chief O it's staff.
 Countess von Waldersee was formerly Miss Mary Lea, of New York, daughte' of David B. Lea, the wholesale grocer She was born October 8, 1888. Upol the occasion of her marriage in 1S6. with the septuagenarian Prince Freder ick von Schleswig Holstein-Sonder burg-Augustenburg, prince von Noer she was created by the emperor of Aus tria princess von Noer in her owl right. Prince Frederick, dying si months after the wedding, bequeathe his wife large fortune, said to be fou million dollars. She married Count vol Waldersee in 1866. In 1864 she was rc garded as one of the most beautiful an, accom- mplished women in Paris.

Ponderous German Humor.

The slowness of the German savant to comprehend the quips and turns ot American humor are traditional, but according to Rev. Dr. Griffis company of them was actually put to the test by an American consul stationed in a German city. The consul, to prove the truth of the tradition, read to them Mark Twain's declaration that Git is not possible to raise watermelons in the vicinity of 8 theological seminary" The Germans, pressed to explain the meaning of that, were only able to re ply that they could not see why the watermelons would not grow 'if the seeds were healthy, the soil rich, and the seminary buildings did not shade the melon patch" There is the same ponderosity about German humor that characterizes their philosophy and lit erature. What the scalpel cannot be applied to is likely to escape them.
