The elaborate precautions which are
taken to protect European sovereigns
in travelling contrast curiously with
the simplicity with which tho prcsi-
dent of the United States moves
about. The kaiser Of Germany has
patrols along all the roads lie uses,
both highways aud railroads. He is
always preceded on ordinary roads by
guards who go ahead OF him and beat
the bushes aud look out for any anar-
chst who may lie in wait for him.
When the car travels along any
railway line the road IL patrolled for
days before by armed guards. They
are stationed regularly throughout the
entire distance at intervals OF 200
yards. Up to the day the train is
scheduled to pass they are allowed to
take it easy, carrying their rifles
meanwhile slung over their shoulders.
Six hours before the passage OF the
imperial train they shoulder their
rifles and march briskly up and down
the track.
An hour before the imperial train
passes the guards arc required to
stand with their backs toward the
train and to allow no oneto pass with
in less than one hundred yards of the
track uutil ten minutes after the royal
train has passed. Should any one at
tempt to approach, the guards are
directed to challenge them, and If they
continue to approach they have orders
to fire with intent to kill. New York

Marriage and Long Life.

DR.. Schwartz of Berlin, has come
TO the conclusion that marriage is tho
most important factor in human lie con.
ducive to longevity, as Of 300 persons
who attained the age Of forty 1875 were
married aud seyenty-fve single. At
sixty the proportions were forty-eight
to twenty-five; at seventy twenty
seven to eleven, and at ninety. nine to
three. Among fifty centenarians not
one bachelor or spinster could bs
found, nor for the matter of that one
married couple--all these venerable
individuals being widows or widowers.

LIFE.

Liie's but trousled river, flowing on

Fate.
We float upon its surface, then are gone.
Learning its lessons when, alas too late.
We quarrel with the sunshine while It's
there.
Pluck not the flowers that blossom all
around,
Heed not the beauties In this world so fair,
Till clouds close thicken. and the Visions
drowned
Drowned in old age, or In our faulty reason,
Which sees not what things ARE or ought
10 be,
SO dwafed our knowledge truth coniounds
with treason.
And pride won't te1 US we've not power
TO see.
Contentment! It's a lessontpast our learning;
We scorn the happiness the gods do send
For far-oh worlds and myths we've always
yearhing,
To stoop to beauties near our minds won't
bend.
SO Life Is but one long and fruitless strain
ing
To get beyond what Is within our reach;
The river flows on without u moment
deigning
To listen to the wisdom we would teach;
And Fate is reachcd-the dark and seething
ocean,
Which covers all and well its secrets keep:
We tloat along with weary onward motion,
Till all is over and In death we sleep.

A JIospltaI Car,

This country is used 10 forging
ahead in the way Of improvements, but
in one respect Belgium has distanced
us.
In that land, according to corre-
spondent of the Chicago News, they
have what is known IA the hospital
car, and when serious railway acct
dent occurs the car may he run to the
spot, where the wounded may be
picked mp aud carried to. the nearest
large city for treatment, instead OF
waiting hours for the arrival of sur
geons.
Again, the car can be used to trans
port large companies of invalds from
place to place at certain seasons of the
year. The interior of the car is di-
vided into main compartment, u
corridor on one side and two small
rooms at the end.
The hospital proper is in the larger
compartment; ii contains twenty-four
isolated beds on steel tubes hung from
powerful springs. Each patient lies
in front of two little windows which
may be opened or closed ut will. Each
bed is provided with u little movable
table to hold all objects required.
On the outside of the hospital
chamber the corridor leads us to the
the linen closet and the doctors de-
partment, in which there is n huge
cupboard used for drugs, surgical in
struments and a folding bed. Various
trap doors in the floor open into re-
ceptacles for ice, provision cellar,
etc. Arrangements are made for an
operating chamber and there is even
small chapel for religious worship.
The ear will be used principally to
carry invalids from Belgium to the
miraculous cure at LWurdes, France.

Portable diadem in Europe, contains
1878 rose diamonds, 1863 brilliants,
273 round pearls, large pendant
shaped pearls, / immense ruby, 4
small rubies, large sapphire, 20

The large ruby is set in the centre of
a diamond Maltese cross at the front
of the crown. This stone was given
ia Edward i by Dom Pedro the Cruel,
aud was worn by Henry V at the bat
tie Of Agincourt, when it was set in
his steel casque.
1t is peculiarly cut and it's centre is
followed out TO form a setting for a
smaller ruby. Many of the stones
were taken from old crowns, now I'M
used, and others were furnished by
the queen herself. They are placed
in settings Of both gold and silver, and
incase a crimson velvet cap with an
ermine border. Four imperial arches
spring from the four sides and sup
port the mount, which is composed Of
43S diamonds, and the whole is sur
mounted by diamond cross whose
centre is a single rose cut sapphire.

AN AUDIENCE or THREE,
How Artemus Ward Escaped From M
Awkward situation.

Awkward situation.
Before Artemus Ward went to Lon.
don, where the English fell in love
with him only to mourn his prema.
ture death among them, lie had con-
quered the respect and affection of his
own countrymen by his quaint and
kindly humor. Tho itinerary of one
of his tours led him to u town in cen
trial Pennsylvania. 1t was about the
middle of January. The day Of the
lecture came, and with it early came
Artemus. Before noon tremendous
snowstorm broke over that part of
Pennsylvania aud ragged furiously all
day and night. There are some per
sons yet living who remember that
storm, and how regretfully, in view OF
its savage ferocity, they gave up the
idea of hearing Artemus Ward. All
special trains were abandoned. When
the lecturer appeared on the stnge
that night and looked about him, in
all the large theatre he saw only three
men, each in the seat his coupon called
for; all three, as it happened, being
far to the rear.
The three men looked lonely and un-
comfortable. AS one of them said af-
terward, they did not think there were
enough Of them to do justice to the
occasion, and they felt the awkward
ness OF the situation and wondered
what the outcome would be. Keep
ing that solemn face of his at its sol
emnest, Artemus advanced to the foot
lights and reckoning to the three men,
said: "Come up, closer, gentlemen. L
want to speak TO YOU" He had to
repeat this invitation before his audi
tors understood that he meant what
he said, and mustered courage to 60
forward. When they had taken seats
together in the front row, Artemus
said "There, now, that's more socia-
ble." He paused and went on
Gentlemen, you are entitled to see
my show aud hear my lecture, if you
are so disl osed. But l understand that
underneath this hall there is an excel
lent cafe, and | suggest that we spend
the evening there, you as my guests. y
Though reluctant to forego the show
and lecture, rs they saw Artemus had
no mind for them, the three agreed to
his proposition, the lights were turned
out, and the little party descended to
the cafe, where for hours they made
merry, and whence one of them at
least was most reluctant to start for
home. He says he never had more
enjoyable time in his life, and that il
Artemus Ward was not at his best
then his best must have been past al
whooping." For the stories he told,
and the way he told them made them
forget time and circumstance, and com
pletely banished any lingering regret
for what they had not received up-
stairs. New York Times.

Twelfth massachusetts, mt Antietam


At the reunion of the survivors Of
the Twelfth Massachusetts in this city
Wednesday, Secretary Kimball made
the following statement:
81 am aware that it is startling
statement to make that the loss of the
Twelfth Massachusetts, at Antietam
was the highest in percentage of any
organization, Union or Confederate.
in any one battle of the civil war, and
even the highest of any organization
in the entire world, i'll modern times,
in civilized warfare, under pOrmal
conditions, but is there not good
reason to believe it to be true?
''The fighting was terrific, ~ every
one knows. Let me simply say that
q letter which | wrote to friend on
the Both of September, 1862, says my
company (A) had twenty-five men
killed and wounded out of thirty, and
of the eight who escaped unhurt five
had missiles strike either their cloth
ing or equipments. Only thirty-two
marched off the field under the flag Of
the regiment when relieved by the
Twelfth Corps. One of the Confed-
crate regiments, the First Texas,
Hoods division, which we encoun-
tered in our advance through the
corn field, and which afterward occu-
pied q position little to our right,
had 1876 killed and wounded out Of
22G taken into action-a percentage
of loss of so. 3. - Boston Globe.

Four Persons Lost Their Lives In

SHARON (Mass.) Aug. 22. = In the
excitement and confusion attending the
clearing away of the wreckage caused
by last nights collision on the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Rail-
road, it was reported that seven per-
sons were killed, four of them being
unknown. To-day it was learned
definitely that the total number killed
was four. as follows:

bookkeeper, Boston, aged about %.
Mrs. Mary Fitzpatrick Of Boston,
widow, aged 70.
Mrs. c. H Frye of Revere.
Unidentified woman, thought to be
Mrs. c. H. Bristol of Winthrop.
The bodies of the victims were re-
moved to Stoughton to-day.
The identification of the body of Mrs.
Frye and the woman thought to be
Mrs. Bristol was delayed and rendered
difficult by the fact that both Mr.. Frye
and Mr.. Bristol were among the in
jured, and were taken to Boston last
night.
The number of injured is still unde-
termined, owing to the fact that many
who were hurt were able to go to their
homes for treatment, while others who
received medical treatment near the
wreckage were only slightly injured. 1t
is thought that no more than twelve or
fifteen can be included among those Sc
rously injured. Seven of them We're
taken to the Boston Hospital A list
is as follows: f. d. Bristol, aged o3,

probably necessary: James A. Fitzpat-
