TRADE WITH GERMANY.
Unnecessary Anxiety over Our Re-
IatiOns With That Country.

IatiOns With That Country.
A good deal of unnecessary anxiety
seems to be exhibited both in Germany
and in the United States about the
trade relations between the two coun-
tries. Some figures just prepared by the
treasury bureau of statistics show that
the supposition that American trade in
Germany or German trade in America
is being disturbed or depressed by ex-
listing conditions seems to be unbound
ed. Certainly the United States is Civ
ing to Germany a larger percentage of
her import trade than ever before and
is selling to Germany a larger percent
age of het exports than ever before
American exports to Germany increased
over / per cent in the past six months
compared with the corresponding six
months of the preceding year, which of
themselves were phenomenally large,
and the imports from Germany into the
United States in the past six months
were nearly 25 per cent greater than
those of the corresponding six months
OF last year The share of our import
trade given to Germany has steadily in
creased during the past decade, as has
also the share which she takes of our
exports. A decade ago 10 per cent Of
our imports was taken from Germany,
while now Is per cent comes from that
country A decade ago s per cent of
our exports went to Germany, now
over Ii per cent goes to that country,
and in the last half of the calendar year
1897 cur exports to Germany were $780,
632, 1872, and in the last half of the cal
endar year 1898 were $40, 615, no, an
increase of nearly 25 per cent, Our ex-
ports to Germany in the last half of the
heavy export year 1897 were ST., 1884,
053 and in the last half of 1898 were
$50, 903, 1870 Even in meats and provi-
sions the exports to Germany in 1898
show a marked gain in nearly all
classes. In sailed or picked beef the ex-
portations increased mere than % per
cent in 1898 over 1897 Exports of ba-
con increased 25 per cent, or nearly
10, 600, 600 pounds; those of hams in
creased from less than 5, 900, 900 pounds
to nearly IL, 600, 600 pounds; those Of
pork, fresh and salted, from less than
5000, 600 pounds to nearly 13, 900, 0G0
pounds; those of lard from 205, 600, 900
pounds to 238, 600, 900 pounds, while in
fruits and nuts the exports of 1898 were
nearly so per cent in excess of those of
1896, and but slightly below those of
1897

THE WHITE MANS pU2DrN.

A Kansas City man, signing himself
E. E. W., has written a parody on
"The White Mans Burden" which is
better than the original of Rudyard
klpling .-Atchison Globe.
"Take up the white mans burden
And send your sons abroad
TO prey on other peoples
Who serve another God:
TO steal, and starve, and murder
All who oppose his aim
The indian and Egyptian
The men of ancient fame.
''Take up the white mans BURDEN
Whate'er else betide-
To mislead simple people
And crush out native pride
by open speech and simple
hundred times made plain
To hold their lands for profit
And bring them down to shame.
"Take up the white mans burden"-
Pat the savage warrior down
The Maori and the Zulu-\
With the native near Capetown;
When YOU have crushed their free
dom
And sent them to their doom.
Send your raiders to the Transvaal,
And kill the Dutch Paul Dom.
"Takp up the white mans burden''-
And weigh the bloody rod
Find neither life nor freedom
Can please the white mans God:
Heather souls are worth dollar
Mark the price wher'pr you roam
He can fill the heather countries
From the jewellers IN his own.
"Take up the white mans burden"-
nd reap his own reward -
The curse of those he murders,
The hate of those he guards.
In Cuba and Manila.
In Porto Rico. too;
In China and FashOda-4
Egyptian and Hindoo.
''Take up the white mans burden"-
Make his profit if you can
A shilling for woman
A sovereign for man;
Kill them with explosive bullets
Children, aged, seXes-all
"These sullen, silent people"
Who know no God at all.
"Take up the white mans bnrden"-
Have done with charity
Christ taught commerce, not kind
ness
Twas His mission don't you see?
The white man has right to muir
der
lis part of his commercial creed
he will Stay all other peoples
TO satisfy Christians greed.

Unique Bridal Presents.

The Macon Telegraph says: Among
the presents received few days ago at
the marriage OF pr1mInent young cou-
PIE in one of the towns of the state were
a bull dog and a pistol These presents
were given exclusively to the bride by
friends. The couple spent the night in
Macon on their way h me, and the bulls
deg was kept chained TO one of the bed
posts in the bridal chamber at the Brown
honse. The story is absolutely true, as
the bride told it to me herself in the
presence Of the groom and another
friend, The presents were given by
friends who heard her say that her nus
hand, who is a lawyer, would be away
fir m home good portion OF the time,
and that ii she only had bulldog and a
pistol she wouldB't be afraid. She is
now repaired for any emergency.

ONLY A GREASY OLD CAP.
But Touching, Tender Story Accom-
nAnieS Ii

An Athens, Ga, special says: Yester-
day evening, in an humble cabin in this
city, an old negro man named Richmond
Elder died at the age of 81 years. Close
beside him when he died lay an old grea
sy cap, and to-day when he was buried
the old cap accompanied him to his last
resting place.
There is a history connected with that
cap which illustrates the devotion of the
old slave-time darky to his young mas
ter. Richmond belonged to a young
man named Joe Elder, who volunteered
for service in the Confederate army from
this county in 1861. Richmond went
along with his young master as a body
servant, andSwas with him in several
battles IN Virginia. AT Malvern Hill
young Elder was shot through the head
and as he fell forward his cap fell to
the ground. Richmond was at the sid e
of the dying soldier in a moment, and as
he lifted his head from the ground he
heard these words: erich, pick up my
cap and keep it," Then the soldier died
and was borne to the rear upon the
shoulders OF his stalwart negro slave.
Old Richmond kept the cap. For thir-
ty~seven years no other cap or hat has
been on his head. Long since all the
Confederate gray has disappeared from
the cap, and all that rem aims is the leath-
er rim surmounted by patches of all
kinds of cloth.
Old Richmond, on being asked several
weeks since what he wished done with
his cap when he died, said: "Put it in
the c. fin with me. When meet my
young master in heaven | want to be
able TO say: 'Marse Joe, here is your
cap. [ picked it up and kept it,"
