THACKERAY AND GOETHE.

The Hovelist's First Interview With the
Great Poet.
In The Century there is an article by
Walter Vulpius, entitled "Thackeray at
Weimar. The following is Thackeray's
account Of his first meeting with
Goethe:
VI course remember very well the
perturbation Of spirit with which as q
lad OF 10 received the long expected
invitation that the Herr Geheimerath
would see me. This notable audience
took place in little antechamber of
his private apartments, covered all
round with antique casts and bas-reliefs.
He was habited in a long gray drab red
ingote, with a white neckcloth and a
red ribbon in his buttonhole. He kept
his hands behind his back, just as in
Rauch's statuette. His complexion was
very bright, clear and rosy, his eyes ex-
traordinarily dark, piercing and bril-
liant. fancied Goethe must have
been still more handsome as an old man
than even in the days of his youth. His
voice was very rich and sweet. He ask
ed me questions about myself, which I
answered as best could.
ViG tantum-I saw him but three
times-once walking in the garden Of
his house in the Frauenplan. once going
to step into his chariot ON a sunshiny
day, wearing a cap and cloak with
red collar. He was caressing at the
time beautiful little golden haired
granddaughter, over whose sweet, fair
face the earth has long since closed.
TAlma Won Goethe died at the age Of II
years while on o visit in Vienna in
1S44l
Though his sun was setting, the sky
round about was calm and bright, and
that little Weimar was illumined by it.
In every one Of those kind salons the talk
was still of art and letters. At the court
the conversation was exceedingly friend
ly, simple and polished. The grand
duchess, lady of very remarkable en-
dowments, would kindly borrow our
books from us and graciously talk to
us young men about our literary tastes
and pursuits. In the respect paid by
this court to the patriarch of letters
there was something ennobling, think,
alike to the subject and sovereign.

THE PERSIAN GULF,

Gatural Phenonena Which to the On.
travelled Might Appear Incredible.
In his address as president Of the
British Institution of Electrical Engi-
neers Sir Henry Nance said 1t was in
connection with the cable to India, by
way of the Persian gulf, that his asso-
citation with the submarine telegraph
commenced. In the Persian gulf one &C.
casionally witnessed natural phenomena
which, to the untraveled, might appear
incredible. In the midst of the noun
tains near Mussendom he had seen during
a thunderstorm such displays of light
ming as baff1ed description. He had, at
certain seasons of the year, observed the
water in the bay-which was large
enough to hold all the fleets Of the
world-present exactly the appearance
Of blood. Not many miles from Mussen-
dom he had witnessed mysterious fire
circles fitting over the surface of the
sea at q speed Of 100 miles an hour, a
phenomenon which no one had yet been
able to explain.
While steaming along the coast of
Baluchistan he had been called from
his cabin at night to observe the more
common phenomenon Of q milky sea,
the water for miles around being sim
gularly white and luminous. In the
same locality the sea was, for short Pc
RODS. as If putrid, the fish being de-
stroyed in myriads, SO that to prevent
a pestilence measures had to be taken
to bury those cast up on the beach. This
phenomenon was doubtless due to the
outbreak Of q submarine volcano and
the liberation Of sulphureted hydrogen.
In these waters jellyfih were as large
as footballs, and sea snakes of brilliant
hue were met with in great numbers
On one occasion q swarm Of sea snakes
forced their way up one Of the creeks
in Karachi harbor, apparently for the
purpose Of having battle royal, for the
ground between high and low water
mark was thickly covered with their
bodies in positions which betokened a
deadly struggle. Boston Transcript.

Thrifty to the Last.

An old Lancashire miller, noted for
his koenness in matters financial, was
once in boat trying his best to get
across the stream which drove his mill.
The stream was flooded, and he was
taken past the point at which he want
ed to land, while. farther ON, misfortune
still further overlook him, to the extent
that the boat got upset. His wife, real
izing the danger he was in, ran fran
tically along the side of the stream, cry
ing for help in pitiful voice, when, to
her sheer amazement, she was suddenly
brought to n standstill by her husband
yelling out, IF I'm drowned, Molly.

The Immigration Bill.

The Immigration Bill now on It's
passage through Congress requir-
ing as test for foreigner S adj
mission to the United States the
ability to read and write in some
language is a more drastic measure
than many might think. ltappears
that nearly one-half of the $50, 900
immigrants last year, who were
over fourteen years Of age, from
Russia, Poland, Ltal y and Portugal
could neither read nor write. lmml-
grants from these countries are as
a class Objectionable for other rea-
sons as well as that of illlteracy.
The extreme poverty OF most OF
these people makes them undeslr-
able as part Of our population,
as they add nothing to the wealth
of the country, but have been
burdenS0me upon our cnaTItles'
Besides, their language, habits and
methods Of civilization-or the
lack of it-are foreign and antago-
nistic. The question of ilhteracy
scarcely affects the volume Of lm-
migrants from Germany, the
scandinavian countries, or Great
britain where institu,
tons are similar to ours. The
measure will prevent the ingress Of
large class Of people whose pres
ence would be detrimenta, and
often menace to the institutions
ard peace of the country. Such a
law should have been III operation
thirty years ago.

The sugar barons of the great
trusts begin to whine that they are
prosecuted. An investigation
showed that the control of the
sugar trade was In their hands;
that no one can sell sugar unless
with their consent. They, it will
be remembered, controlled enough
senators to prevent the passage of
the free sugar clause iii the Wilson
tariff bill AS heartless, cold
blooded monopoly they have won
the concentrated hate of the peopl
Of the United States. If New York
law can bring them to justice, it
will be one of the triumphs Of the
people. Madison Democrat.

Not unto every heart is Gods good gift
OF simple tenderness allowed. We meet
With love in many fashions when we lift
First to our lips Efas waters, bitterSweet.
Love comes upon US with resistless power
OF curbless passion and with hcadstronS will.
1t plays around like April breeze and shower
Or calmly flows, rapid stream, and still
1t comes with the bleSsadness unto the heart
That welcomes it Alright, or-bitter fate
1t wrings the bosom with 50 fierce a smart
That love, we cry, is crueler than hate.
And then, ah, mel when love has ceased to
bless,
Our broken hearts cry out for tenderness
We long for tenderness like that which hung
About us lying on our mothers breast
A selfish feeling that no pen or tongue
Can praise Alright, since the silence sings its
best;
A love as far removed from passion heat
AS from the chilliness of its dying fire;
A love to lean ON When the falling feet
Begin to totter and the eyes to tire.
In youth IS bright heyday hottest love we seek,
The rcddest rose we grasp; but, v hen it dies,
God grant that later blossoms, violets meek,
May spring for us beneath lifes autumn
skies;
God grant some loving one be near to bless
Our weary way with simple tcnderness

How Our National Funds are >quandered

Representative Pearson, of n.
c., who was elected to Congress as
an independent protectionist, made
very warm five minute protest
against the waste Of money III the
appropriations carried by the Sun
dry Civil bill, which was rushed
through the House under suspen-
sion of the rules. After calling at
tention to 81 appropriations for
rivers and harhors and 81 for pub
lie buildings contained in the bill,
Mr.. Pearson said: eff ! had the
opportunity, would move to
strike out the appropriation of
$500, 900 fixed in the bill for the
improvement Of the mouth of the
very river upon which | was born,
because know that it is useless
and IN eXtravagant appropriation.
[ certainly would not ask what is
proposed by this bill, the sum OF
100000, for the improvement of
Winyaw Bay, S. G. The collector
of customs only takes in 1856
year, and it will be two million
years before he will take in enough
to lay the amount Of the approrri
alton provided by this bill, which
is only beginning Of the outlay"
At this point Representative Say
ers interrupted half jocularly
Where is Winyaw Bay?" The
laug Int n raised by the question had
not subsidized before Mr.. Pearson
promptl replied, "Ahout 5000
miles from Kenenaw Bay, for which
an appropriation of $500, 900 is also
made. 1t is also about thousand
miles from the Yazoo River, which
gets $400, 900, and about the same
distance from Bayon Plaquemine,
liz Louisiana, which also gets $780,
600" He closed by nagging the
members of the committee on River
and Harbors, nearly every one Of
whom, he said, had secured $780,
900 appropriation for his district
or State, although thechairman had
only $396, 258 in his appropriation.
