German papers tell an interesting
story regarding the young king of Ser
Was recent vain trip in search of a
bride. His majesty had taken it into
his head that he would like to marry
Princess Maria, daughter Of the king of
Greece. The Servian minister in
Athens proposed the marriage to the
Greek rulers, and received an evasiye
answer. The minister was encouraged
however, and telegraphed the king TO
proceed to Athens. The young Grand
Duke Alexander Michaelovitch, how
ever. had long been in love with the
Princess Maria, and when he learned
of the projects of the Servian monarch
he pressed his suit so hard that when
the young king arrived in Athens the
engagement with the Russian had al
ready been announced. The unhappy
diplomat will suffer for his blunder,
and has already been recalled from his
place.

In the Thirty-seventh congress he
took prominent part in the discus

In the Thirty eighth congress he

from the following measures: On the

Montana, on amending the constitu-
ton, and on confiscation.
One Of the political meetings in
which he took a prominent part, and
which is of more local interest, per-

portant matters, was that held in April,

Scammon, Francis C. Sherman and
other well-known men We're present.
At this meeting the politicians pledged
themselves to support the anti-Ne-
braska party, and appointed a commit
tee to agitate the subject. The state
vote of 1880, when Mr.. Trumbull was
pitted as the democratic candidate for
governor against Shelby NJ. Cnlom,
republican, shows the popularity of the
democratic candidate. AT that time Mr..
Cullom won out by vote of 314,5G5 to
277, 532 votes for Trumbull.

tiewed the state of the country. He
told Of the advancement of education,
the growth Of the Industries and of
commerce. the construction OF great
public works, the betterment OF the
government finances, the opening up of
new and useful branches of activity,
the improvement OF trade. and the
lessening OF taxation. I'VE are justi-
fed" he said. "in expecting such an in
crease In the normal sources Of revenue
as will amply suffice for all budget re-
quirements." The presidents messages
to his congress. within recent years,
have been Of a kind never known in
Mexico before his assumption of office,
never known between the time in
which Mexico won her independence
from Spain and that in which she chose
president who was able to garner the
fruits of independence and liberty.
President Diaz is something more than
successful politician. He possesses
the qualities of craftsmanship. He
understands the needs OF his country,
and also the method Of supplying them
through the legislation of a congress in
which he is influential. and which re-
CARDS his judgment. His skill as a
diplomatist has been made manifest by
his several negotiations with European
powers but his mastery of the trouble
some case Of Guatemala, and by his de-
sirable cooperation with the United
States in the settlement of the boundary
queation. His friendliness toward this
country and his constant desire for the
maintenance of peace with ii have been
as important to the American people as
to those of Mexico.
In one respect only has Diaz failed
to satisfy the whole of the people liy-
ing under his government. The Mex
lean ecclesiastical authorities have
made complaint of his readiness to inc
tify the government interference with
property which was the Inheritance of
the church from Spanish times. His
defense has been that the seuuestrated
estates were needed for educational or
other public purposes. and that the re-
public could not guarantee or recog-
nize all the titles which were granted
by Spanish kings. But at the same time
he has constantly affirmed that the
government has never in any way in
terfered with freedom of worship or
with any of the religious rights or
privileges which constitutionally be-
long to any part of the Mexican people.

THE GREAT MOA.
1t Stood Twelve and Sixteen Feet

~ A"elNe SlAtebn Tret
High.
The great moa now extinct. was the
largest bird that ever existed. This
particular bird stands from IL to 16
feet high, and the ostrich is pigmy
beside it. AS late as 1882 Professor
Owen expressed the opinion that the
bird could be found in some of the
remote districts of New Zealand In
1868 a party of miners crossed the kith-
erto impossible mountain range which
runs the whole length of Middle Is
land. Their they discovered traces of
an enormous bird, and while sitting
around the camp one evening they saw
the creature on knoll short distance
away. The bird seemd fascinated by
the glare of the campfire, and remained
motionless for considerable time, but
finally stalked away. 1t had long,
fiat head, which it carried inclined for
ward, and not erect like birds of the
ostrich kind. They judged that its
height was nine feet. The footprints
showed three claws about twelve inches
apart, with pad and spur about the
same distance in the rear. Walker
Mantell found a gigantic egg in the
volcano sand in New Zealand, the
diameter Of which was as great as his
hat. Bones of the moa have been

A MARVELLOUS CLOCK.

Then. with quick swing he drove
the hammer against the shining sur
face, and a silver note, fine as thread,
burst forth and echoed away in soft
cadence among the distant pillars of
the place. Before its whispers ceased
in the stiffness the little skeleton had
like the ghost of John James Christie
pher Benjamin Binns, gone down
again" and the scattered bones lay
motionless once more upon the marble
plain.
At 2 O'Clock the same ceremony was
gone through with, save that this time
two figures rose from out the heap of
bones. and each struck one sturdy
stroke.
