Throughout tho civilized world the meeting of the Russion and German rulers has been awaited and observed with unusual interest. Cap¬ italists desirous/of investing, and peace lovers hoping, almost against hope, that a European war would be averted, have regarded it as an event of surpassing importance. The lavish display of affection between the sovereigns can have little influ¬ ence upon public opinion; but indi¬ cations arc not lacking of a substan¬ tial friendship and a business like cooperation between the Emperor and tho Czar which add assurance to the improving prospect of peace, and arc welcomed throughout the world as most fortunate evidences of an alliance for the exercise of beneficial influence. The task of disarmament, interna, al and universal, as a policy to which the German Emperor has pledg ed himself, and to which the contir nental States arc assenting, is news which will generally be regarded as too good to be true, and believed only upon strorg confirmation. That some progress will be made \n this direction is however, probable. 1 hat France will be guided by the action of her neighbors is quite well assur Oil. |<*or scvcial weeks the ten fancy of Koiopeon affj»rs| has been dm been more al meeting of tho Russian and Gors man Monarchs.

BLOTTED OUT. We were going down tho Mississ* ippi and had just pulled out of Natchez, when a man, who had boarded tho boat at that place, sat down with four or five of us and en¬ tered into a general conversation. Ho was learned and intelligent and u as calm and self possessed as any one you ever mot. By and by lie said: , “Gentlemen, I want your opinion on a strango question. Lot each one of you triye his choice of death in case of suicide.” There was moie or less jocular talk before an opinion was given. There were five of us, to be ex¬ act, and two held to laudanum, one to shooting and th e other two to drowning. It was agreed, however, that m none of tho cases would the victim suffer much, providing he was determined to make a sure thing of it.” “Why. do you ask, coionel,” I queried after awhile, seeing that be was silent. “Because it‘s a personal thing with me. GoHlcmcn, I am very glad to have met you, and to have had this pleasant visit. Good day.” lie lifted his hat, bowed grandly, and walked to the port side of the boat and sprang into tho water be¬ fore the eyes of fifty people, We stood icady in case he came up, and the boat was stopped and held, but never a sign of him did we see. The father pf waters closed over another mystery so tightly that noi even a fiugei tip was shown to guide us.

CLEVELAND KEPT PROMISE. The fresh illustration ot ^Mrs. Cleveland’s tact and modesty is tho latest subject of gossip in society circles. On Monday last a concert was given by a number of local ama tuors for tho benefit of Miss Ilolla wcll, a crippled young woman resid¬ ing in the district. Tho concert was giyen m an unpretentious little hall connected with Willard’s hotel. It w as not in any sense a society affair. There was no long list of lady patronesses socially prominent in tho gay world, nor was the audi¬ ence anything moro than a plain respectable, every crowd who had paid their money and were there to the benefit of it 1 In some way Miss *IIal!oweli had secured a promise from Mrs. Cleve¬ land that she would attend tho per¬ formance. Requests of this kind arc declined by hpr a score of times a week. In this onsc, however, her sympathies were enlisted, and she gave tho required promise, although to do so necessitated a hurried drive in from Oak View after an unusually late dinner. She entered the hall quietly and took a seat near the door. That sho was not recognised even by those nearest to her was due in part to their limited knowledge of her appearance and in 'part to tho plainness and modesty of her attire. When the performance was conclu¬ ded sho quickly left the hall, and en¬ tering her carriage drove back to her country liome without a soul beyond the ushers and tho benefici¬ ary of the concert being aware of her presence. InRn Italian garrison there was a privafco soldier named Ugolino. Oue of the officers took the soldier aside one day and asked liiai: “Are you a descendant of the famous Count Ugolino, about whom Dante wrote?” “No,” replied the soldier; “all my ancestors were poor people.” “1 refer to Count Ugolino who was starved to death with his sons in the tower of Pisa.” “If he didn’t get enough to eat, very likely lie was an ancestor of mine, after all,” replied the honest soldier.—Texas Siftings.

When Mrs. Hattie Davis entered suit tor divorce m Chicago on Mon¬ day, the unique fact was broaght to light that she didn’t know her hus¬ band’s first name “She never knew him otherwise than as J. Davis,” said her lawyer to the clerk of the court. She lived with him only al¬ a month, when he ran away. She ways called him Mr Davis, and never was told his first name. He signed himself plain J.

Thequestiou of the insanity of James Stevenson and his wife Agna, an elderly couple residing at Wash¬ ington Heights, was examined yess terday. Stevenson is lifty-five and and his wife is fifty years of age, and both appear much older, f ile, ligion, it is said, had made them both insane. Mrs Stevonscu had on a skirt mad oof liorso hair cloth, and a strip of the same material was tightly tied about her head and over her ears. “1 wear this over n.y ears,” she said in a loud voice, “to shut out all other religions than my own. I am a Campbellite—a Campbollite, do do yon hear? I am the creator ot' tho umverso! I made everything and own everything.

I made that husband of mine; he wasn’t nothing but a piece of dough, but I made a man of him by blowing tho breath of life into bun. Didn’t I create you James?” “Yes, you did. That’s vghf., judge. She made me, and I wasn’t nothing hut a piece of dough.” “I am 55,000 years old,” contin¬ ued the old lady. “That is, I’ve lived on this earth that long.” The old man said be was an old soldier, and was wounded at the battle of Black river bridge in Vir¬ ginia. “When I lay’ wounded on the battlefield,” he said, in tremus lous tones, “the spirit of my wife came to me and revealed herself to me, though it was seventeen years later when I first met her in the tlesh. But I knew her and knew she was the creator of everything.” They were found insane.—Chica¬ go Times. REPTBLICAN DISCONTENT IN ILLINOIS.
