All lovers Of their country must depre-
cate the rehabilitation BY the Republican
party of disappearing race issue At
time when every effort should be made %
promote rather than retard the progress
which was being made Ia the states
where slavery had existed, toward kind
ller relations between the two races. The
revival ~ this issue with all It's attendant
evils must OF necessity retard the devei-

MAKING THE MOST OF LEISURE.
How a Young Man Learned German
and Spanish.

Too much cannot be said of the value
of the hours which most men waste.
says Hamilton Wright Mable, in Suc-
cess. One of the prime qualities OF a
man of force and ability Is his clear
understanding of what can be done
with the time and tools at his COM
mand. Such a man wastes no time in
idle dreaming of the things, he would
do If he could go to college. or travel,
or have command of long periods OF
uninterrupted time. He is not guilty
of a feeble evasion of mo possibility"
for his career by getting behind adj
verse, he gets in front of them and so
gets away from them. Conditions look
very solid and formidable but a plucky
man often discovers that their pOrten-
tious show of strength is a sham, and
that the great guns which frown upon
him are merely wooden limitations.
Every thing yields to a strong hand.
A young man who ceases to dream
about the things he would do IL he had
plenty Of time, and plans the things he
will do with the time he has. may go
slow but he will go far.
Such a young man, thirty years ago,
discovered that, by using in
a continuous way the time he spent on
and railway trains he might
have a good deal of leisure.
This leisure was made up Of half and

French Blood in the Kaiser.

The Chevalier de Tancourt. one Of
, the coliaboratorS of rEncyclopedie
once said that If the genealogy of any
family of street mendicants were ex.
amined it would be found to lead back
straight to an illustrious man, and that
eventually 1t will rise again to the pro-
aGcticn OF another great representa-
1--WE. The saying is recalled to the
Paris Revue. which has demonstrated,
IN an article that is reappearing all
over the European press, how Emperor
William of Germany is descended from
Coligny. and therefore has French
blood in his veins The Revue has
drawn up elaborate genealogic dia-
grams to prove its amusing case.
The kaiser's astounding French des-
cent is figured out along two lines. On
his fathers side he comes down from
Coligny. and from his mothers side he
actually derives blood from the Duke
of Guise. In 1888 the daughter OF
Gaspard de Coligny married William
Of Dillenburg. There was
born to them Frederick Henry OF
Nassau. stathouder of Pays as. His
daughter, Louise Henriette, married
the great Elector. Frederick William I.
u 1TOIIl WnOIH tne KAISER
is directly descended, as is very we'll
known.
The other side of the genealogy is es-
tablished thus: Another daughter Of
Frederick Henry Of Nassau. Henriette
Catharine, married John George H..
prince of Anhalt-Dessau. A daugh-
ter born of this union, Elizabeth AL
berthe, married Henry, Duke Of Sax
ony. The issue Of this marriage was
the one son. John Ernest H., who mar
ried Sophie Augusta, princess Of An
halt-Xerbst. The first son Of this
union. Ernest August, married Sophie
Charlotte Albertine. Margrave OF
Culmbach. His grandson, Charles
Frederick. married Maria Pavlovna,
daughter of Paul l. Of Russia. And
it is the daughter born Of this mar
riage. Augusta. who espoused William,
afterwards William /. Of Germany.
On the side of his mother, VIC
toria. wife of the Emperor Frederick
Ill. William II. is descended in fash
ion from Duke Claude of Guise. Marie
of Lorraine, daughter of Claude OF
Guise married James V. of Scotland.
Her daughter, Mary of Scotland. was
united to James vi. Of Scotland. after
wards James I. of England. A
daughter born Of this marriage. Eliza
beth, married Frederick ". electeur
palatin. A son Of these became
George II. of England from whom is
descended Victoria, queen Of England
and mother of Victoria the wife of En-
peror Frederick III. And there you
are. Such an infusion Of French
blood in the present very German
kaiser, and from both sides of his
house, the Revue thinks highly aston
ishlng and comical.
