Of the old Junker party of the name Of
Debat Daher, and ii processes to give
some curious details in regard to the
present fortune of the ex-chanceilor
and how ii was acquired. After tn
German war of 1870 the prince received
from the country two estates of NJ
great value. which. coupled with his
own paternal estate. brought him in a
fair revenue. He then left Bieichroeder
To look after his private monetary af-
fairs. with the result that he now
has fortune amounting 10 $50 600 e90
marks This. the author contends
could only have been made by stock

knowledge that the prince derived from

fided to Rleicnroeder. That, with the

GLORY OF THE MIGHT.

The silver tendril of the stream
Winds through the cavern of the night
And hush There floats across my dream
A cygnet bathed in pallid light.
The moons cold eyeball stares not down
Upon the wondrous freight it brings
Hung round its arched neck-a crown
OF pearls and silver blazonings.
And while it trails adown the tide
My senses. smothering meath the gloom
And silence that gulf all beside
Hail the white glory of its plume
Hail the clear starlight of each gem
Bound in the frost of times disdain
A hand grasps at the diadem
When, sudden, all is black again.
