A Street Incident.

4 significant circumstance occurred
during a visit of the Emperor of Ger
many to England. The kaiser was for
one day the guest of the lord mayor,
and the city of London received him
and several of the queens children on
that day.
The old city was splendidly decorat-
ed, and set for a great public function.
The streets from Buckingham palace
to the lord mayors mansion were lined
with infantry and cavalry, back Of
whom was solid mass of people.
Between these lines the royal car
riages slowly passed. They moved in
almost absolute silence, save for the
perfunctory salutes of the soldiery. The
queen was not present, and for mere
royalty as royalty, there was appar-
emily no popular feeling save that of
curiosity.
When, however, the carriage Of the
Princess of Wales appeared. and her
sweet, kind face was seen. the applause
grew enthusiastic. Suddenly a burst
of cheers was heard, as low, black
wagon came swiftly down the throng
cd street. 1t was the ambulance of a
hospital, which has precedence every
where. carrying some wounded man
to receive succor. The crowd paid

HER FIRST REHEARSAL.

Her Stage Debut.

Mary Anderson de Navarro Tells of
Her Stage Debut.
In writing of her first appearance on
the stage Mary Anderson de Navarro
tells in the Ladies' Home Journal that
the opportunity to play was presented
her by Manager McCauley at his Louis
vile Theater. The star who was play
ing at the theater had failed to attract
paying houses, and DR.. Griffin, who was
Mrs. de Navarros stepfather and her
business manager, suggested to Mr.. Nc
Cauley that she be given a chance to
play. The offer was gladly accepted,
and Mrs de Navarro writes that there
was only one rehearsal, and it was call
ed for the next morning.

An Apiary in Prison.

The Arizona territorial prison manage.
ment has embarked in Bookkeeping ex-
pertinent, in which the prisoners will
be employed. An apiary, with twenty
five stands of bees. has been installed
and it is expected the business will
prove profitable. A single hive at the
prison is said to have last year pro
duced 200 pounds of honey. 1t prob
ably induces curious sensations and
many vain longings in the prisoners to
see the bees fly serenely and at will
over the prison walls and yet return of
their own volition to their home with

ward of 100000 for the capture Of
Jefferson Davis. All available troops
in the neighborhood Of his supposed
route were thrown forward in pursuit
On the morning of May II, 1865, detach-
ments of the Fourth Michigan Cavalry
reached the little camp Of the fugitives.
1t was in the pine woods about one and
a half mile from Irwinsville, Ga. Just
at daybreak Capt. LaWtOn and about
a dozen troopers walked their horses
to the edge of the woods, and then
dashed up to the tents. No one was in
sight, except a negro, who led Mr..
Davis horse, saddled and ready for
flight. I'm moment Mr.. Davis and
his wife came out of a little wall tent
at the side of the road. Davis wore a
woman's waterproof cloak, and had Il
wOman's shawl thrown over his head.
He started down the road. Seeming to
be an old woman, he was allowed to
pass, but Corporal George Munger
quickly observed that he wore boots,
and galloped after him, hating him
and dwelling his carbine. Davis sur
rendered Later Davis himself said
he had taken the waterproof in mis-
take for his own, owing to the dark
ness in the tent, and that his wife
threw the sha wi over his head.
The reward of 100000 was not dis
tributed until 1868, three years after,
when pretty nearly every one in the
pursuit received share of the money.
Several of the officers got $4,000 each,
but Munger's portion was only $500.

The Influence Of Gemini.

The Sun enters the sign of Gemini to-
day and will remain in the same until June
q. Gemini Is included in the intellectual
signs of Zodiac. and children born under
Its influence belong to the realm of edu-
cation, arts and mechanics. They are
usually very active and want to do some
thing all the time, they are lovers OF
knowledge and frequently succeed as LEG
turers. Children of Gemini lack continui-
planetary influences they are apt 10 be in
constant.
OF the children Of Gemini the ancient
astrologers speak as follows: "Gemin be,
ing naturally fair doth also cause Il fair
child, and one that will be merry. witty.
liberal and wise, but boaster. a great
traveller and strayer about countries, car,
ing little about his own business, whereby
he will be neither rich, neither oppressed
with poverty, but of mean estate; ana
of such fidelity that he will be appointed
be full of understanding. subtle. gentle
to be spoken TO and will be liked by most
everybody, as they which have Venus we'll
placed in their nativity. Also fair of face.
The singular gift he hath also before 9TH
ers, that being angry he can dissemble
and cover his anger. He will be in great
danger when about % years Of age. either
10 be bitten by dog, or hurt by some
weapon"
Children born under this sign are liable
to nervous disturbances, and should al
and easy. Parents should cultivate In
them the habit of self-control when they
are young.
The general conditions as described
above are often altered materially by
strong planetary influences.
