LONDON, March 25.-The Daily News correspondent in Berlin says: "The gov ernment has not yet decided how to act, but it is almost certain to take advantage of the first pretext to dissolve the reichstag before Easier. The centrists being forced by Saturdays vote into more hostile at titude to the government the ministers have lost all chance of passing the bills now under discussion. The National Un- ion of Berlin University students has tele- graphed the emperor: Your majesty's words to Prince Bismarck will find an en- thusiastic echo in the hearts of German youths.' They telegraphed Bismarck that they were disgusted with the decision of the rechstag, but confidently hoped that in generations to come another spirit would prevail. The military unions of Leipsic, including 120,0 veterans, have tele- graphed the emperor thanking him for de- nouncing the reichstag's action.''

The Girane's Head a sledge Hammer.

Speaking of knockers, '' said Ed Coyne, who for the last ten years has been keeper of Daisy, the giant giraffe at the zoo, do you know that the giraffe is tho original and natural knooker9 Look at that long, slender neck and the lumpy, bony head at the end of 1t. It reminds you of sledge hammer and that Is what it is, in fact When Daisy gets excited, she begins knocking-that is, she throws her head from side to side, using it like hammer and dealing fearful blows with certain aim. If any other person besides myself should enter her stall, he would get blow from her head that would knock him senseless, and then she would trample and kick him to pieces. The animal has but a small brain and cannot be reasoned with. The only way to get along with her is to be quiet and not get her excited. I can do about as please with her. enter the stall at all times. feed her and brush her off every day. She is clean beast and gives but little trouble A new keeper would have a hard time with her, as she knows me and will not let stranger do anything for her. ."-Cincinnati Times Star

TO BE TRIED AGAIN.

D RICHMOND, Vs., March 25.-A Newport News special to the Dispatch says: United States Deputy Marshal Conrad served war rants of arrest Saturday evening on w Allen Flames, c. G. Uzzel and P. J. Mug Ter, charged with smuggling. The war rants were issued by United States Com missioner Tucker, and were the outcome of new evidence which came to light during the Ha1nes libel suit. All the parties were bailed and will have a hearing in about ten days. It will be remembered that the same persons were arrested here last September, but the evidence then in hand was not sufficient in the eyes of Commissioner Tucker to send them to the grand jury, and all hands were discharged. When Haines sued the Richmond Dispatch for libel and claimed that his character was damaged by the publication of the affair other evidence was brought out to sustain the grounds for the publication, and 1t is upon this evi- dence that the government is now proceed ing against him.

Time and again, on guard at night, have listened for tho bell. met, to be sure, at either end of the post the man on the next post, yet all the camp was asleep, and the sound of the bell was a welcome companionship. It meant that somebody was up on the gunboat, too, and not only up, but alert. The ship may not be visible, but the ex- act striking of the hours means presence, readiness and power. And what's this it strikes3 Seven bells. Half past 3, and you smile little as you think that at eight bells comes the relief.
 Ut may be that you are on picket. far from the camp with it's friendly sugges- tion of support even though it be asleep, with the other men on post sleeping now, and yourself alone, meeting at the ends of tho little beat you pace no one. Then, through the darkness and stiffness comes, doubly welcome now, the sound of the ships bell, distant, but heard. "-New York Sun.
