Several years ago a resident of Delhi,
O., placed seven S. bills for safe-keep-
ing in the fancy piece surmounting the
parlor stove. The latter hardly ever
came into use and it was his intention
TO remove the money on the following
day. 1t so happened that few days
afterward some guests arrived at the
house and fire was started in the
stove As the stove Redeemed into a
glowing heat wreath Of smoke ascend
ed from the top piece. and it was soon
realized that the bills were undergoing
the process of cremation, Four of the
bills were entirely consumed and the
other three were charred almost beyond
recognition The owner, thinking them
of no particular value, kept them in the
leaves of book as a curiosity. A short
time ago he called a friends attention
to them who said they could be re-
deemed at Washington He sent them
on and soon after received three new

THE GeRMNA EMPEROR.

Hs HAS Completed tho First Three Years
or his Reign to Everybody's Satisfac-
ton.
William H. has been for three years
emperor, and has in this time succeeded
not only in winning the respect Of for
eign cabinets but in strengthening him
self at home. He succeeded a father
idolized by all who came within the
sphere of his gentle and generous ma
ture; his grandfather left behind a war
like fame so great that only the age of
Frederick ii. can afford a parallel. The
present emperor has had, therefore, no
easy task before him, for it has been
necessary for him both to remove pref
udice and to give the country conf
dence in his intentions as well as in his
abilities The secret Of the emperor's
power with his own people arises main
ly from three causes: First-He has
courage. Second-He is honest Third
He is a thorough German.
If the whole country had to vote to-
morrow for a leader embodying the
qualities they most desired, their choice
would fall unquestionably on their
present constitutional ruler Perhaps
the virtues have specified appear com
monplace, and will be taken for granted
by the reader; but an emperor must
be compared with others in the same
trade. His honesty has been the cause
of nearly all the malevolent criticism
that outside papers have accorded him,
for he has said freely what older or
more polite people might have placed
in different way. He has made many
minor mistakes from acting upon the
impulse of the moment, but these mis-
takes have never betrayed to his people
a want of sympathy with their develop
ment He has made his share of minor
blunders in handling large masses of
troops at the grand maneuvers. but the
army would be happy to see him make
a thousand times as many rather than
to miss the active interest he takes in
keeping the military machine in work
ing order.-Poultney Biglow, in Cen

men said that the companies made a
