GOETHE AND REVOLUTIONS.

A Well-known and Very Characteristic
Anecdote Of the Great Author.
Goethe's wide grasp of the physical
researches of the day and his intense
interest in scientific progress were kept
up to the last. The weight of four
score years had not the effect of mar
rowing his outlook There is we'll
known and very characteristic anec-
dote of him in the evening of his life
which may be recalled as illustrating
in few lines what he was and what
he was not, says Temple Bar,
1t was the LIST of August, 1880. The news
of the French revolution had reached
Weimar that morning and all was
in connection. On entering Goethe's
room his secretary, NJ. Soret, was ac-
costed with the exclamation: "Now,
what do you think Of this greatevent?'
"a frightful story answered Soret,
''but with such ministry what was to
be expected but the expulsion OF the
royal family?' ''We do not appear to
understand each other said Goethe,
ever Indifferent to politics, even when
boiling up into revolution; II am speak
ing of the contest SO important for
science between Cuvier and Geofroy
St. Hilaire, which has come to an open
rupture in the academy"
Goethe, IL must be remembered, con-
adhered the question at issue as a mat
Ter OF the greatest Importance to the
future of science. He was greatly re-
joiced over the fact that the youthful
physicist, St. Hila;re, had shown him
self SO powerful an ally of his own fixed
idea of the synthetic manner of look
ing at nature. 1t was fine burst Of
enthusiasm of Goethe's, when, during
this same interview with his secretary,
he exclaimed:
stWhat is all intercourse with nature,
if we merely occupy ourselves with in
dividual ma terial parts, and do not feel
the breath of the spirit which pre-
scribes to every part it's direction, and
orders or sanctions every deviation by
means of an inherent law! have ex-
erted myself in this great question for
fifty years. At first was alone, then
l found support, and now at last, to my
great joy, am surpassed by congenial
minds F."

AN AGE OF WONDERS.

Remarkable Things That Show How
Great This Country 10.
This is wonderful age we are liv-
ing ina wonderful age, and this is .
wonderful country. It is doubtful II
any of the effete old world dynasties
can produce such things, bordering on
the miraculous, as are becoming al
most everyday occurrences in this land
of the free, says the Erie Herald.
few days ago the press dispatches
announced that some fellow out in
Missouri had discovered coal There
was nothing so remarkable about the
fact that coal had been discovered.
The remarkable feature of the case is
that this particular quality of coal
emits no smoke when burned. Ac-
cording to the report, you could build
fire of this coal in the center of your
parlor floor and be unable to find a
particle of smoke in the room. In the
words OF Col. Mulberry Sellers,
there's millions in it,
But this truly strange case is per-
haps outdone by one which is alleged
to have recently occurred in the salu-
OTlOitS ClludGc O1 OdttlOI Lila. AC We
racious chronicle states that some
thirty years ago one John Bahler. then
residing in Wisconsin, lost his eyesight
and subsequently, had both eyeballs
taken out, the end of the optic nerve
being left as a stub in each case. Right
here is where the wonder comes in.
Don't miss it. About a year ego. at
his home in Fresno, Mr.. Bahler sud-
denly saw the light Of lamp placed
opposite to him on the other side OF
the room, and the examination showed
that new eyeballs were growing on the
ends of the optic nerves.
Since that time his sight has grad
ually improved, until now he can shoot
rifle with considerable accuracy, and
hopes soon to be able to see how the
foreigners pay the tariff tax.
Indeed, this is a great country, and
isn't anywhere near developed yet.
Carp milk cows and steal chickens and
green corn right here in Pennsylvania,
but the boundless west contains still
greater possibilities than the east, and
if old Europe can produce any such
wonders or special newspaper CORE
spondents let her trot 'em out.

MISS CH,CAGO'S BREEZY WAY.
Liventng Things Up Among tho sp:ritless
t.uests at u iiOtel.


One morning as we were having a
melancholy reakfast as Il prelude to a
melancholy day, says writer in the
Washington Post, Miss Chicago APP
pearei upon the scene with bright
eyes, red cheeks, ribbons flying and
feathers nodding.
why, how do yon do?'' cried her
CHEEKY young voice, so glad to see
you. Haven't heard word from you
since we crossed on the Victoria to-
gether. What are you doing here? |
have come to console equity father;
am afraid it win be awfully stupid, but
come and bowl with me after break
fast and we will talk it over" AL
this was delivered so rapidly had no
opportunity to interrupt. Bowl with
you, my dear little child?' I asked.
''The alleys have been closed for
weeks ''Were closed, you mean,' said
Miss Chicago. Now they are open,
and l have discovered two little ne
groes, whom I'm going to dress in red
flannel zouave suits, who wait to do
my bidding. We will bowl at ten,
nave 1uThASA udtA dC t"c1sc, iiuo az
four, play pool before dinner and
dance afterward.''
And it was even SO. Every place Of
amusement connected with the hotel
had been closed. Miss Chicago turned
the key which unlocked all the DOORS
and during the rest of my stay at the
hotel we had the gayest sort of a
time. Everybody was happier be-
cause Of the presence Of this bright
young western girl. The invalids
smiled when she passed them, the
servants rushed to do her bidding; the
very animals seemed to know when
she was near l left her here, but I
know there was weeping and wailing
when she came to take her departure.

WAS IN SING SING.

E.ocked Up by = Keeper White on u Visit
OF Inspection In 1877.
1t is not generally known to the
world at large, says the New York
Times, that Emperor Napoleon III. of
Trance was once behind the bars IN
Sing Sing prison. In the spring OF
1887 Prince Louis Napoleon, afteeward
Napoleon III. emperor Of France, made
81 visit to Washington Irving at Sunny
side, a little north of Irving ton-on-the-
Hudson, accompanied by q young
french count, and escorted by Anthony
Constant, of Hastings. Prince Napo-
leon expressed Il desire to visit the
prison at Sing Sing, and Mr.. Constant
drove him there. Upon arriving at the
prison the party was welcomed by War
Zen Rowel, who, after taking them
iyto his apartments, explained the
means that had been attended with
the most successful and beneficial re-
suits in the government of the prison.
The warden told the prince, who had
Been an Interested listener, that he
had convict in the prison, French
nan, who was an old soldier, claiming
10 have fought at Waterloo and to have
been in several battles with Napoleon,
the first emperor. The pI;nce natural

then explained that the prisoner was
in a dark cell for misconduct; that it
" as con trary to prison rules to take
him out, but as the guests were going
to visit the cells he would open the
door of the Frenchman's cell.
Then all followed the warden down
the stairs and across tbs keyroom and
the narrow passages to the galleries,
here the cells were and are to this
day. He paused at the second cell on
the right hand tier OF the main gal
leries and unlocked and opened the
door. Louis Napoleon stepped inside.
The warden, with merry twinkle in
his eye, turned the key and locked him
in It was too good an opportunity to
be lost. The gentlemen were amused
and brimming over with fun, when,
after momentary detention, the door
was opened and the noble Frenchman
