Ibsen has given up reading news
papers or books. He writes no letters
and does no literary work He seldom
sees anyone except his servant and
masseur. He never leaves the house
at Copenhagen, but is able to move
about in it with the aid of two canes.
Five years ago he was still quite ac-

habits Every day he took the same
walk, stopped before the clock on the
university building to regulate his
watch and then read the newspapers
in the Grand cafe.

German Socialists Gain Under August
BebePs Leadership.
Just at present there is more talk
in Germany about August Bebel than
of any other ten men. 1t was under
Bebels leadership that the socialists
have just polled vote of 100000, to
the great CONSERVATION of the kaiser.
Herr Bebel was born in Cologne sixty
three years ago., the son of an infantry
sergeant. He learned the trade of a
tanner and at the age of 20 Joined
the social democratic party founded
forty years ago by Liebknecht. He
has served many brief terms in Jail
for his opinions sake The annexa-
ton of Alsace and Lorraine he de-
nounced as a mistake, tracing to it
the vast ornaments which now burden
Europe. Hunger duties" is the term
he applied to the new tariff on i'm

many's conduct in China as shame
full saying it was marked by "bestial-

has repeatedly criticised Emperor Will
liam, even intimating on one occasion
that the kaiser was insane.

interference of petticoat protection.
AS the serried columns of soldiers
advanced with great and imposing
pomp and power down the main street
of Savannah, Ga, a gate suddenly
sprang open and emitted a rusty,
ragged negro urchin and a grisly,
bench-legged cur, both thoroughly cleo
trified with curiosity and excitement.
With true canine aggressiveness, the
small dog barked and bounded with
audacious ferocity, while the terror
stricken boy, paralyzed by the pomp
of the panorama passing before him,
without moving his eyes or changing
his attitude, screamed the alarm:

Did Not Think 1t Much.

Says a veteran: "A man, writing on
the third day at Stone river, said:
We didn't do much yesterday except
get ready for the rebs. 1t was like
working in the old gravel banks at
home About 2 O'Clock two more
divisions came over from the right
and settled near us, and we heard ar
tiIlery ana wagons moving quite near
us in the rear. Everything was quiet
in front, unusually quiet, and We
thought things were moving all right
when there was a roar of musketry
and the air full of flying bullets. Be
fore we could lower our rifles to the
ground, chips and splinters were flying
from them. We blaZed away as hard
as we could. Our own cannon fired
over us. We Rugged the ground close
and kept pegging away. 1t didn't seem
to me we were doing much good, but
we fired as rapidly as we could load.
"'Suddenly our own artillery ceased
firing and. thought the game was up.
Then we were ordered forward and we
went at a full run down into the
smoke in front. We crashed into a
rebel line and went over. Some of the
boys who found themselves in the rear
of the first rebel line dubbed their
est them. There was a rough and
tumble fight and it seemed to me we
were wasting our time when the rebels
surrendered. After resting a minute
we started forward again, and it seem
ed to me the whole army was going
forward with us. Just at dusk the
General rode up. said we had done
very well, indeed, and ordered us to
return to our intrenchments.'
This is a description of the repulse
of Breckenridge's corps on the left,
one of the most decisive and pictur-
esQue battles of the civil war. The
man who wrote the letter was in one
of the regiments that led the charge
that drove back the flower of Gen.
Braggs army. The artillery firing to
which he refers was from sixty cannon
massed in the rear and on the flank of
his division. The defeat or repulse of
Breckenridge gave the Union army
the splendid victory of Stone river,
and yet this man in the front line of
the battle wrote of it simply as if he
had been describing a county fair at
home"

Mrs. Belmont Too Imperious.

Mrs. Oliver Hazard Perry Belmont
drove up to the station at Hampstead,
Long Island, from her country place
and found that a hackman was occu-
plying the spot at which she wished to
stop. Mrs. Belmont ordered him to
move, but the hackman said quietly
that he had as good a right there as
anybody and there he would remain
Il don't wish you to bring any more
passengers to my house, said the in
dignant society woman. "All right,
ma'am,' was the reply. I've lived
here for forty years and was making a
living long before you came. l guess
1 can get along without you" For a
long time there has been war between
the wealthy colonists and the hack
men, and now the fight is more bitter
than ever
