From the Chicago Journal. “Did I ever tell you,” said a lady friend to the Stroller as he finished the recital of a joke played upon a mutual friend, “how I was cured suddenly and completely of practical joking! No? I thought I had. Well, it was some winters ago, aud 1, in company with a lady friend, strolled into an art gallery on Wabash avenue. As was the almost universal custom with ladies then my friend carried her pocketbook in her muff. I had warned her several times of its probable loss, but she had only laughed at my warnings. In strolling around the store i saw my friend’s sealskin muff left on a table, and as the edge of the pocketbook peeped out I quietly confiscated it—chuck ling in my sleeve at my friend’s anticipated dismay when she found my oft-repeated prediction fulfilled. We soon left the gallery, and though I thought it strange my friend bad not noticed her loss on resuming her muff, 1 said nothing until the conductor on the street car came in front of us. ‘Let me pay,’ she said. ‘All right. Where’s your purse?’ I queried. “ ‘Why, here it is!’ she answered, sur prised, at the question, and drawing her hand from her sealskin muff showed her portemonnaie. ‘Then who’s is this?’ I asked in dismay, showing the one I had abstracted. How do I know? ‘I found it in your muff on the table.’ ‘I laid my muff on the counter—not on the table’ ‘There was a lady in the store buying engravings—per haps that muff on the table was hers.’ IVe left the car instantly and hurried back through the winter twilight to the art gallery. We or rather I—told my mortify ing tale, and saw in the merchant’s face a thinly disguised vexation and contempt. The purse had been the property of the third lady in the store, who, on preparing to pay for her purchases, and finding her purse abstracted from the muff, had made some very bitter remarks, which the pro prietor rightfully felt reflected on the chai - acter of his store and the standing of his patrons. He had made her loss more than good by requiring no pay for the engravings sold her. As she had taken her purchases with her he could give no clew to her identification except that she lived on the West Side. I had noticed tire lady’s per sonal appearance, and this, coupled with the vague hint of her residence on the WAt Side, was all I had to go on. 1 kept my eyes open everywhere, and finally I saw her one day, weeks afterward, in a big dry goods store in the elevator. Imagine if you can my shame and embarrassment in recit ing my foolish prank, while the haughty contempt and silent incredulity of her manner heated red hot the iron which was entering my very soul. No more practical jokes for me.” The Czar’s Dislike for Germany, Berlin Correspondence London Telegraph. Until lately the Emperor William extend ed to the reigniug Czar that cordial and ro bust friendship which he had entertained so many years for his father, and which once led Prince Bismarck to remark to the late Gen. Fleury, ’‘when there is any question of our going to war it is hard work to con vince our good sovereign; he always thinks first of his relatives.’’ But the Emperor Alexander 111. never really abandoned the strong anti-German proclivities which he openly professed before he ascended the throne. It is well known that during the Kusso-Turkish war he insisted that any member of his staff caught talking German should be made to pay a heavy fine, which went to the wounded relief fund. It came to the ears of his father, who seized an early opportunity of visiting the quarters of the Czarevitch and addressed each individual member of his suite in German. They were obliged to answer in t he same language, and afterward compelled to pny the fine. From the day the reigning Czar succeeded his father the hope was kindled in every Frenchman’s breast that a Franco-Russian alliance would be brought about. Circum stances, however, forced Russia to reckon with Germany, w’hieh she did with more or less good grace as long as Germany did not thwart her Eastern policy. But the mo ment has come when (lermany can make no further concession to Russia without infring ing the interests of her allies, Austria anti Italy, and the consequence has been that the hydra of Panslavism has been let loose again unchecked by a reproving word from the Czar. The So roe Vremi/a writes thus: “The West European press is singing victory over Russia, which it represents as completely isolated and incapable of carrying out its aims in Bulgaria. Events are approaching that will give this tho lie. Instead of talk ing so much about tho new triple alliance being the safest means of issolatiug Russia, it would bo better to wait and see what measures the Cabinet of St. Petersburg is going to take in view of neutralizing the effects of the said alliance.” Things Asked of Actors. John Drew was shown a letter in which the authorship of “The Shrew” is attributed to Augustin Daly. Mr. Drew said he was not very much surprised. “Why, the other day in New York” con tinued the comedian, “a real estate broker to whom I was introduced said: 1 “If I could talk as wel liu my business as you do in yours, Mr. Drew, I would be a rich man. I can’t understand how you manage to think of all those funny things just on the spur of the moment.” ’ The ignorant questions actors are subject ed to is not half as appalling as their lack of tact ami their impertinence. A mem tier of Mr. Joseph Jefferson’s family once said she had often lieen asked if it did not pain her very much to see her father making an exhibition of himself for money. And this of the most graceful of comedians. Thousands of cures follow the use of Dr. Sago's Catarrh Remedy. 50 cents. Pure Candy only 10c., and new Dried Figs for 10c. at D. B. I -ester's.
