To show the difference In morals, along
this line, in favor OF the negroes at the

A KISSING NATION.
In Russia Men Kiss Men and kissing Y
Is uniyersal-OSculatio On
Every Hand.

In no other part of the world is kiss
ing so much in vogue as in Russia.
From time immemorial it has been the
national salute; indeed, it is more of a
greeting than caress.
In public affairs, as in private, the
kiss is an established custom. Fathers
and sons kiss, old generals with rusty
mustaches kiss, whole regiments kiss.
The emperor kisses his officers. On a
reviewing day there are almost as many
kisses as shots exchanged. If Lilipu-
tian corps of cadets have earned the
imperial approval, the imperial salute
is bestowed upon the head boy who
passes it on with hearty report to his
neighbor, he in turn to the next. and
so on through the whole juvenile body.
On holiday or fete day the young
and delicate mistress of a house will
not only kiss all her maid servants, but
all her men servants, too, and il the
gentleman does not venture above her
hand she will stoop and kiss his cheek.
To judge, also, from the number of
salutes, the matrimonial bond in these
high circles must be one of uninter-
rupted felicity. A gentleman scarcely
enters or leaves the room without kiss
ing his wife either ON her forehead.

BISMARCK'S PEASANT LOVE.
TyrOlese Girl Whom He offered to
Marry and Live with In
the TyrOl.

A story is just now going the round
Eof the journals concerning Bismarck
which l give for what it is worth, says
a Vienna correspondent of the London
Post. We are told that Bismarck,
while still a raw university student,
was staying in the mountain regions of
the Tyrol, near Ultenthal, and fell
deeply in love with a beautiful young
peasant girl. He offered TO make her
his wife, and in order that his marriage
should not take her from her beloved
mountains, he promised to give up his
own country and stay in the Tyrol.
The parents of the girl, simple peasant
folk, objected, however, to the child,
who had been brought up as devout
Catholic, being married to Prussia n
Junker, who was a Protestant to boot.
So the romance which threatened to
lose Bismarck for Prussia came to q
sudden end, and the hero of it returned
to his alma mater at Berlin. In hall
at Ultenthal there is still to be seen a
picture of Bismarck in the uniform of
his younger days. The heroine of tie
romance died many years ago as the
well-to-do widow of an Austrian landed
proprietor.

DENMARK AND PRUSSIA.
The Recent Expulsion of Subjects
of the Former from North
Schleswig.

The Cologne Gazette publishes an in.
spired explanation of the causes lead
ing to the recent expulsion of Danish
subjects from North Schlesw;g by the
Prussian authorities. 1t says that there
is network of Danish societies cover
ing the whole of the northern part Of
the province, while in Denmark there
are many so-called South Jutland So
cieties." The Danish press and the
press of the malcontents in Schles-
wig are continually fomenting agi-
tation. Inhabitants of Schleswig
who have Danish sympathies make ex-
cursions across the border and pro-
claim at festive gatherings their unai-
terabla adhesion to Denmark and their
hatred of Prussia and Germany. Along
the Danish side of the frontier large
number of colleges and secondary
schools have been established in order
to attract young natives of North
Schleswig, and to give them Danish
education. Danish children are ex.
changed during the summer holidays
for children from the German side Of
the frontier in order to keep up the con-
nection with Denmark. Danish popular
libraries have been established every
where in North Schleswig, and
are often supplied with books
from Denmark. Funds for the agi-
tation are partly supplied in Dem
mark, and Danish military and civil
officers take part In It. In Haderslaben,
Rendsburg, Apenrade, Tondren and
Sonderburg the Danes are accused Of
behaving as II they were the ruling ele-
mena. and Of ignoring altogether their
German and Prussian nationality. Thu
Cologne Gazette maintains that the
situation has recently assumed char
acter which compelled the Prussian
government to adopt serious measures,
and that the expulsions have been
chiefly those of leading agitators.
