BERLIN. Nov. 19.-The reichstag will

A sensation has been caused by the
abrupt departure OF the king of Saxony
from Potsdam, where he was visiting
Emperor WltIldLI AC SQuucu oUQlOg Oh
the visit has caused to be circulated re-
port that the emperor and king had quar-
relied over the army measure. Some sud-
den rupture undoubtedly occurred between
the two sovereigns, but as the government
of Saxony some time ago assented to mill
tary reorganization. the recent rupture
could not have happened over the army
bill. Members OF the diplomatic circle
credit the report that the difference arose
over the emperor's proposing to prosecute
Prince Bismarck. whose latest revelations
as to who precip stated the war with France
by classifying the famous emperor's dis
patch. are felt in official quarters to justify
any measure that may be adopted to
silence him. The king of Saxony. it is
said, not only opposed Prince Bismarck's
prosecution, but urged the emperor to
make the first advance toward a recon-
citation with Bismarck. The incident
will not abate the determination of the
king Of Saxony to prevent the empero
from prosecuting Bismarck.

A Cat nypnotines a nird.

1 have seen one case of snake
charming bird, but I had a better
opportunity to study cat charming
a bird, and probably the process is
much alike in both. The cat placed
itself on tie outside sill of my win
dow, near to pine tree. A bird
presently lit ON the pine tree, no
doubt not observing the cat. The
cat fixed its attention on the bird.
The cats eyes were widely opened
and shone with a peculiar bright
ness; its head was raised and intent
the fur ON its neck and about its face
slowly stood up, as if electrified.
Except for this rising of the fur
and a certain intensity of life in the
whole attitude of the beast, it was rs
still as if cut from stone. The bird
quiyered. trembled, looked fxedly at
the cat, and finally, with a feeble
shake of tho wings, fell toward the
cat, which bounded to seize it. A
lady tells me that she 'does not be-
heve that cats can charm birds, be
cause she has seen cat trying to
charm a parrot, aid the bird, greatly
alarmed, scolded loudly" This proves
nothing; the parrot in general, OF
more probably that particular par
rot, did not prove good subject for
the mesmeric power. 1 have seen
people who cannot be hypnotized.

To Those Who EAU.

Courage. brave heart, nor in thy purpose faiter:
Go ON and win the fight at any cost.
Though sick and weary after heavy conflict,
Rejoice TO know the battle Is not lost.
The field Is open still to those brave spirits
Who nobly struggle till the strife Is done,
Through sun and storm, with courage all un-
daunted,
Working and waiting till the battles won
The fairest pearls are found In deepest waters,
The brightest jewels in the darkest mine,
And through the very blackest hour of mid
night
The star of hope doth ever brightly shine
Press oni Press oni The path is steep aud
And storm clouds almost hide hopes light
from view;
But you can pass where other feet have trod-
through.

BY patient toll each difficulty past,
You then may see these days OF bitter failure
But spurred you on to greater deeds at last.

whittier,s Red Neck,is.

The poet Whittier, strange as such
a defect appears in one who made
such effective use of color in his
Eoetry, was color blind. He was
able to describe with as much ac-
curacy as beauty the tints of the
evening sky at sunset, the hues of
cloud and forest upon the side of a
mountain, or the changing purple,
blue and violet of the twilight sea.
His popularity of vision betrayed
him into AN error, although an error
not discoverable by his readers.
The Quaker poet shared in all re-
spects the quiet tastes of the sect
into which he was born, and shared
them no less by temperament than by
breeding, being naturally one of the
simplest, sedatest, most retiring and
least snowy of men.
His friends were therefore natu-
rally astonished when he made his
appearance one day with his usually
somber garb enlivened by flowing
necktie of a flaming scarlet hue.
They wondered for time in silence;
then a very old friend ventured to
inquire:
