France, Germany and Russia.

Till 1870 France held the supreme con-
troll of the peace Of the world No sword
could he unsheathed in Europe without
her consent. Napoleon III was the great
arbiter. A frown from him darkened
the horizon. The day after he expressed
regret to Baron Hubner at not being
in accord with Austria, the stock ex-
changes were in panic, and Austria
and Prussia concluded hasty peace be-
fore the master had time to show dis
satisfaction. Since the war Of 1870 this
role has ceased to belong to France.
Germany has usurped it, and her claim
to it is what has revolted the car, who
remains alone, striving by his deliberate
isolation to neutralize the unwelcome
supremacy Of Germany, allowing Franc
to render him apparent homage in order
to emphasize his attitude, but really
knowing himself to be doomed to immo-
bility as long as he remains outside the
allied empires. DE Blowitz in Harper's.

CAPTURING A GENERAL.
Only Pplsoner of the English Reserves Q
 Waterloo Taken by a Captain.

Only Prisoner of the English Reserves nt Waterloo Taken by Captain. The only prisoner made by the En- glish reserve at Waterloo was French general, whose capture was due to the cool head and stout heart of young brigade major anxious for an ad- venture.
 During the battle several regiments of cavalry and infantry were kept in reserve under a heavy fire from the French guns. Great was the havoc, and neither men nor horses relished the passive attitude to which they were condemned.
 front of the left wing of the reserve was discussing the situation, their attention was attracted to a French general and his staff, all on horseback, who were looking through their glasses at the Englishmen. One of the group was Capt Halkett, a young brigade major, mounted on a thoroughbred. Suddenly he exclaimed:
 "I'll lay five pounds that will bring that French general over here, dead or alive. Who'll take my bet?' "Done-done-doner' shouted several officers.
 The captain examined his saddle girths and his pistol. Then shouting "Good-byH' and putting spurs to his horse, he dashed at furious pace across the plain between the English and French lines.
 His comrades followed him with their glasses, not speaking a word. The Frenehmen opposite seemed puzzled Believing the Englishman's horse had bolted, and that the rider had lost con- trol of him, they opened their ranks to let the runaway through.
 Halkett steered his steed so as to graze the mounted general on the right side. At that instant he put his arm round the Frenchman's waist, lifted h&m bodily out of the saddle, and . throwing him over his own horses neck, turned short and made for the English lines.
 When the French staff realized the meaning of the bold rider they dashed after him. But he had a good start, and not Frenchman dared to fire for fear of hitting the general. Half squad of English dragons, seeing Halkett chased by dozen French officers, charged them. They opened their ranks to let Halkett through closed them up again the moment he was in the rear, and then forced the Frenchmen to turn swiftly and seek shelter under their own guns.
 Amidst the maddest cheering Halkett stopped in front of the British lines. with the general half dead but securely clasped in his strong arms. He jumped from his horse, apologized to the pris- oner for the unceremonious way in which he had been handled, and in re- ply to the congratulations of his com rades, said simply: "Praise my horse, not me-"
 The captured general was treated with the utmost courtesy. Horses and servants were placed at his disposal, and he was sent under escort to Brus- sels.-"'Twixt Old Times and New"

LO SESSIONS HENS.
A Nei4hbor Who Got the Better of tn
 Willy Chautauqua Politician.

A Neighbor Who Got the Better of the
 Willy Chautauqua Politician.
 Ex-Congressman Loren B. Sessions, of Chautauqua county, who gained con- siderable notoriety as a clever poli- tician in the days of election s'button- holing," and who with his brother, Walter l.. Sessions, for many years en- gineered the republican politics of the corner county, has seldom been accused of being gullible, but he admits with becoming magnanimity that he was bested on two occasions.
 Living next door to him in the little rural village of Panama is a man named John Baker. Baker glories in the title counselor at law, butt when the legol business is dull he is never averse to taking painting or white washing contract. Both Sessions and Baker kept hens, and it was their GUS tom to allow the hens to run at large during the early spring months and late in the fall.
 Sessions had finished planting his garden at the rear of his house and shut his poultry up in his hennery. One morning he discovered, much to his disgust, that Bakers hens had paid him an early visit and scratched up large quantity of seed. He went to Baker with his trouble and told him in his usual good-natured way that unless he kept his hens confined they would be shot and thrown into his yard. Ba- ker chuckled to himself and promised that his hens would cause no more ! trouble to the newly-planted garden. ! Early the next morning he arose and liberated thaconnraSSna ba,s ,,,1,;al, were soon enjoying themselves on the forbidden ground.
 Suddenly he heard several reports from gun, and, peering from a win dow, saw Sessions approaching his house, bearing a number of the un- fortunate victims. "Johnl Johnr' yelled the elated legislator, ''I've kept my promise and here are your hens. You'd better catch the rest of them or I'll bag them too.''
 "Why, Lo," said Baker, ''my hens are all shut up in the roost. Those must belong to some other person." 'Go on" returned Sessions. ''Your hens and mine are the only ones that ever come into my yard, and mine | haven't been out of the house since made my garden
 "Weu, you'd better look and make sure of it, anyway" said Baker. So the pair jumped the fence and went to | Sessions roost, where the chagrined ! congressman discovered how he had been sold. Sessions gathered up the dead hens and took them to his own house, where they were nicely pre- pared, and the entire Baker family was | invited over to odinner.-Buffalo Courier

 HARTFORD, Conn, May 24. = At the State Prison investigation hearing yester- day Warden Chamberlain called as wit nesses on his side Father Thomas w Brod- srick and Father John T. Lynch, of St. Peters Church. T he first had visited the States prison perhaps six times in ten years. None of the prisoners complained to him of their treatment; had only been in the prison hospital twice.
 Father Lynch has visited the prison monthly for several years, and sometimes oftener. Visited the sick there. None of the prisoners ever complained of their treatment. Had never visited the dun geons, nor talked with any prisoner who had been punished He thought the sick were properly treated. All bodies of Catholics dying there were given to their friends. Had no reason to think Patrick Fox's death hastened by his treatment while in the dungeon. He was confident that Warden Chamberlain had given Cath olic prisoners all privileges which could be extended to them, but could not remember the names of prisoners he had talked with. The warden had enlarged the library by adding Roman Catholic books and in other ways had improved the condition of pris- onarS

But the Railroad Cannot be Compelled to
 Receive Goods for Transport.
 WASHINGTON, May 24.-Assistant Secre- tary Hamlin has decided a new point as to the power of the Treasury Department to compel railroad company to receive and carry goods received at the seaboard and destined for interior ports under the Imme- diate Transportation act.
 He holds that when a railroad company receives such goods it must transport them, but no power is vested in the Ire as. ury Department or it's officers to compel the railroad company or common carrier to receive them. In making this decision he overrules the Collector of Customs at Philadelphia.
 Mr. Hamlin does not touch upon the point of the right of the importer to compel the railroad company under common carrier law to receive and transport his goods.

DEMAND HOME RULE.
Citizens of Jacksonville, Fla, PrOtes
Against an Obnoxious Scheme.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. 25-An i'm
mense mass meeting of the citizens of
Jacksonville, irrespective of political faith
or class, was held tonight to express pub
lie sentiment with reference to a suit in
QUO warranto recently instituted i'm the Su-
preme Court with the purpose of having
declared unconstitutional the Australian
ballot law under which the present city gov
eminent of Jacksonville was chosen
in July last. If this law should
be so declared it would restore
the statute under which the Governor of the
State appoints the municipal officers Of
Jacksonville-a system which was obnox-
ious TO nine-tenths of the population-and
the municipal officers SO appointed to July
Is would be reinstated in Office. The res
toration of the old regime would also null
lily the action of the city of Jacksonville
in authorizing it to Immediately issue ST.,
100000 in bonds for public improvements.
These circumstances brought out an inn
mense gathering, thousands being unable
10 gain admission to the hall, and the
quo warranto proceedings. Not a word
was said by anybody in justification of
them. Capt. NJ. c. Rice, ex-Mayor, pre-
sided A series of resolutions was also
to dismiss the suit, lin order that it may
not appear to the outside world that the
people of Jacksonville are opposed to local
self-government or wish TO foist themselves
into offices which the citizens have filled
by an election the fairest ever held In the
State" Chairman Rice was directed to APP
point a committee of one hundred, who
shall take the steps necessary to form a pub
to unite the two factions which have hith-
erto prevented unity of action here.
