A HAM BONk IN HISTORY.

MIR. ARCHIBALD FORBES, the noted
war correspondent and lecturer, Is n
cold blooded historic idol.smnshsr.
The Springfield Republican relates an
instance Of his having lately performed
a piece Of work OF that character. Mr..
Forbes was present at the surrender OF
Louis Napoleon at Sedan, and occu.
pied the house, the room and the bed
which were used by the Emperor the
night before he was removed, a
prisoner, 10 Wilhelmshohe. In this
house, the chateau Bellevue, the King
OF Prussia and the French Emperor
had their memorable meeting, and the
surrender was finally arranged. In
one OF the rooms Of the chateau
was a great oak table at which Mr..
Forbes sat TO write one Of the letters to
the London Daily NeVS. AS he sat
writing bis companion stood near him
and "jlsconsolaiely gnawed at ham
bone, the miserable remnant OF our
store Of PROVISIONS" The bone was
well-nlgh bare, and with grumble 1t
was thrown upon the table, upsotting
Mr.. Forbes inkstand and making
great ink spot on the polished surfOce.
A few months ailerwRrj, when Mr..
Forbes revisited the chateau, he was
shown the same room and table. alt
was Mt this table," he was Informed,
"that the equalization OF Sedan was
signed. Hot words ensueI over Its
terms, aud General wlmplden over
turned the ink-bottle In the midst OF his
excitement, with hasty motion Of his
hand" This ink.spol, the evidence OF
tina regret aud shame Of courageous
soldier, was treasured highly as relic
OF the memorable day. Now comes
Mr.. Forbes and WIPES out this touching
and poetic story by substituting meat.
less ham bone for the distress and
wrath Of defeated soldier. II there
had been more ham and less bone the
spot would never have been made ON
that table. Some people are no particu.
lar about facts that they will not per.
NIT the romantic features Of history TO
20 unchallenged. Mr.. Forbes is one
OF that class Of persons. Imaginative
people have no use for him.

THE other day 1t was reported In the
press dispatches that Premier Caprivl,
OF Germany, had resigned. Then fol.
lowed another statement to tho effect
that the report had been confirmed rs
correct. Then came third, stating
that not only had he not taken such
action, but that he had no inten.
ton in that direction. The newspapers
went of wrong, IA they accepted the
confirmation Of the alleged fact as true,
and commented accordingly. Now, It
isstated that the resignation OF CAprivi
