A correspondent sent us the follow
ing translation from q German paper
of the recent killing of a sergeant by
his officer, Count Etolberg Wernige-
rode. captain in the 10th Regiment of
Uhlans, in Saarburg. Alsace. who cut
down Sergeant Steinhardt of his regi-
ment Steinhardt was quartermaster.
and was ordered of to forage. The
soldiers engaged in cooking forgot, in
the sergeants absence, to insert the
rubber rings in the covers of the pots,
In consequence of which the food got
spoiled. Capt. Count StOlberg called
Steinhardt to account for this. The SER
geant excused himself from blame on
the ground of his enforced absence.
Later on the captain renewed his re-
proaches, and told Steinhardt he was
the lowest cur and greatest BLACKBOARD
In the regiment. Steinhardt answered
that he did not think he deserved to be
called that On this Count Stolberg
gave him a box on the ear that made
him reel over against the wagon, Stein
hardt said to two OF his comrades:
You saw how / was struck Count
Stolberg Immediately drew his sword
and first gave Steinhardt cut on the
leg and then a thrust on the left side
of the head. Steinhardt fell down I'M
conscious. (Another account adds how
Steinhardt on first coming to, tried TO
stop the blood with his handkerchief,
and to stand at attention till he fell
unconscious againD He was taken to
Hagenau, where he died without recov-
ering consciousness. The funeral took
place with full military honors, accord
ing to the 'B. NJ (Badische Nachrich-
ten), which demonstrates that Stein
hardt innocence is recognized officially.
The parish priest in his funeral grafton
before the whole body of officers de-
nounced the act perpetrated by Stol-
berg as one of the most brutal violence.

The New Honey.
Honey is enjoying renewed favor.
Men of wealth and leisure are testing
and experimenting with the different
kinds of honey, and wrinkling their
brows over the problem of producing
what seems to them the most desirable
flavor during the coming summer.
For the bee is no longer allowed to
pursue his own sweet peregrinations
and sip of the nectar of flowers wher-
ever he chooses. Honey made in this
promiscuous way is much too ordinary.
His actions are restricted and guided.
AS a result, such honey as never was
tasted before is tickling the palates Of
many. IL it is the white sweet clover
flavor that has gained favor with the
epicure, he goes systematically 20 work
to produce it; and plants large plot
of ground. perhaps half an acre, with
this particular kind of clover. He has
it carefully kept from weeds, or any
other variety of clover that might en-
deavor to find a footing there. The
whole bed is inclosed and rooted with
fine wire netting, and the beehives are
then placed within the Enclosure. From
the bees life, therefore, the spice of
variety is plucked, and try as he will
he can produce none other than white
sweet clover honey. In flavor ii is
very delicate and almost white IN col
or.
Yellow sweet clover honey Is pre-
| ferred by others. The flavor is slight
| ly stronger than that made from the
white variety and its color is deep
yellow. Then there is the honey that
Is made from thistles and milkweeds;
| it is amusing to hear producers of such
| fiavors tell of their tribulations in maxi
ing these hayward plants grow within
their restriction. Some of the wild
| flower honey is almost black in color
and the flavor is certainly very differ
ent from what it was in the days when
honey was honey and that fact settled
| the question. 1t is almost verging On
| the indiscreet to mention buckwheat
honey nowadays, although it is still ac-
knowledged to have wonderful staying
| properties"
