Is An AMATEUR DIPLOMAT.
Official German Sneers for New

Official German SneerS for New
York's Special Insurance Envoy.
Berlin, March s.-Baron Won Der Recke
Won Der Horst, PrusSian Minister for the
Interior, has forwarded communication
to Washington through the regular diplo-
matte channels, stating that he is astonished
TO find that certain State of the American
Union is seeking TO negotiate directly with
the PrusSian government through a special
envoy, thus ignoring the established usage.
The minister says he has taken cogniZance
OF the fact that GOV. Morton has not yet
acted upon the proceedings of the Albany
senate and assembly, and in turn admits
that there was a chance that the DEGREES
cancelling the licenses OF two New York
insurance companies might be repealed.
But, he adds. since the interference of
the amateur special envoy from New York
TO Berlin ;hc position has been so completely
altered that Prussia cannot repeal the
decree, as tim iglt now be represented to the
public that the influence ofan amateur diplo-
mat had caused Prussia TO yield.
Even at the risk of Gov. Morton's appli-
cation of the recent resolution Of the Albany
legislature refusing to renew the licenses
of Prussian insurance companies doing
business in the State of New York, this
decision, he says, Will, in the meantime,
be adhered to.

Thou hast compassion and love-"
He heard no more, but closing the
door as softly as he had opened it, he
went back to his room.

and stricken, he knelt by the bed and
buried his face in his hands.
An hour passed, and another. New
thoughts were battling for place in that
mans mind. He saw now that he had
starved his wife for the love she had
wanted; that he had made her suffer
cruelty. What vision her prayer had
opened to him.
How can repair this wrong?" he
questioned over and over. 'Ah, there
is another part to us all. have soul,
and God can make me free" He knelt a
long time, and when he rose he said,
quietly: Twill go to her now"
He walked with firm step, as man
who had come to his right estate at last,
and opened her door. A look of glad sur
prise overspread the face of the young
wife, and she rose to meet him. Taking
her hand and tenderly pressing kiss
to her forehead, he tried to speak, but
words failed. 1t was a sacred silence,
for spirit was answering spirit in re-
rewed vows of love and fidelity; it was
the true marriage at last.-Susanna b.
