Particulars Regarding the Cabi-
net Crisis at Berlin.

A cablegram from Berlin, Germany. says
in regard to the Cabinet crisis Since the
fall of Bismarck, two years ago, the political
tension here has not been so intense as it has
been now. From the elegant Killers, Inter
den Linden, to the bare cafes of the Karl
strasse in the students quarter the one topic
has been the action of Minister Zeditz and
Chancellor Caprivi.
There is no room for doubt as to the
resignation of Count Caprivi. although every
effort is made in high political circles to
keep the facts of the Cabinet crisis abso-
the whole weight of his personality on
tine side of the School bill which has caused
all the complication, he might have escaped
the embarrassment of his position He has
announced so repeatedly in and out of
Parliament recently his advocacy of the
! bill, and has set up his opinions so
persistentlY against the moderate advice
of his rival in the Cabinet, DR.. Miguel,
that the Emperors tendency toward the
course recommended by the latter left him
no alternative but to resign. 1t was thought
by the best informed politicians that the
Emperor would not accept his Chan
celor's resignation, on the ground
that the School bill, as pure Y
Prusslan matter, is not closely connected
WIN SdpllNl TeCOru as Anauc6llOT Oh bue
Empire. Caprivi, moreover, is needed to
keep together the Ultramontane-C onserva-
tive coalition in Parliament. In order
to avoid coming to an immediate
decision the Emperor retired to
his castle to HubsrtusStock. Prince Henry,
the Emperor's brother, joined the Kaiser
there. The Empress followed next
day. The semi-of1lcial announcement
is made that the rumors of the
Emperor's illness are greatly exaggerated,
and that his condition is satisfactory. Never
theless the physicians advise that he take
some rest, and that he seek the greatest prac-
ticable quietude for the present.
Chancellor Won Caprivi was summoned by
special courier to the Emperor at Huber
tusstock. The Chancellor has made a Sec
ond request to be allowed to retire. Only
under the utmost pressure, it is thought, will
Caprivi consent to serve longer, as he feels
personally aggrieved by his treatment at the
hands of the Emperor in the management OF
the School bill. In conversation with Albert
Won Levetzow, First President of the Reich
stag, yesterday, he said, with much feeling,
that he believed he had not been treated
fairly by the Emperor, and should therefore
insist upon being allowed to retire.

Ode 10 Spring.

l Weakened 10 the singing of bird;
l heard the bird of spring.
And lol
At his sweet note
The flowers began to grow,
Grass, leaves and everything
AS if the green world heard
The trumpet of his tiny throat
From end to end, and winter and despair
Fled at his melody, and passed in air.
1 heard at dawn the music of a voice.
o my beloved, then l said, the spring
Can visit only once the waiting year;
The bi-d can bring
Only tae seasons song, nor his the choice
To Saken smiles or the remembering tearl
But thou dost bring
Springtime to every day, and at thy call
The flowers of life unfold, though leayes o
autumn fall.
Mrs. James T, Fields, in the Century.

about three inches OF snow and sleet and the
Jruit crop was DESTROYED around Jefferson,

Six inches OF snow fell at Little Rock,
Ark, the heaviest known for years. Great

two absconded and one has been arrested.
The liabilities amount to s., 900 600 and
the assets to 81, 600 600. The failure had no
effect on the Bourse
The reason assigned for the suicide and
flight is that the authorities were about to
institute legal proceedings against the Direc.
tors of the bank, on the charge of fraudulent
bankruptcy and of obtaining money under
false pretenses.
The bank dealt largely in the French ma
tional loan of 1891, and received subscrip-
tions to the loan of upward of 800, 900.

The doctor thinks he can safely say
that he saw On the church records the
entry Of the birth Of Michael, who set

found as far back as the sixteenth cen

This was a Nineteenth century knight and

back Helmets are apt TO be straw hats or
derbys; and as for greaves-well, knicker-
bockers are more common today.
This particular knight was about ten
years old-slender, straight, open eyed.
Quickly he spied the damsel in distress.
Swiftly he came TO her aid.

Alasl The matter" was that the bundle
she held had burst, and it's contents were
open TO view Probably the small maid
expected hearty scolding for careless
ness. And, indeed, whoever put that soiled
shirt and the collars in her care might
reasonably have been veXed
A new piece of wrapping paper also
proved too frail Must the child get her

had sobbed so mournfully.
But the boy was not daunted. He tucked
the burst bundle under his own arm.
