Germany. London, Oct. 14—The Chronicle's corres pondent at Berlin says he has learned from an unimpeachable authority that the condition of the German Crown Prince is precarious, and that Dr. McKenzie’s treatment has failed. It did net need statesmen of Prince Bis marck’s capacity to appreciate the advantages of the Italian alliance with Germany, and Italy, out of giatitude for past benefits conferred and expectations of future support in possible dif ficulties, has every reason to cling closely to her Teutonic neighbor. The interview of the German chancellor and Signor Crispi, and the subsequent renewal of the triple alliance, are referred to by the highest authority as a guar antee of peaoe, but are generally considered as a menace to France, ana it is certain the lat ter nation looks upon them as such, although Italy reserved the right to observe absolute neutrality to the event of war between Germa ny and France. The editor of the Reichsfreund, Berlin, has been sentenced to imprisonment for three months for publishing an insulting reference to Prince Bismarck.

Florida’s Great Need. Wallingford, Conn., October 10, 1887. C. II. Jones, Esq.: Dear Sir—Having spent a portion of the winters of 1885-’86 in Florida, I have anticipi ted spending the coming winter with my wife and five friends, but the pressure and induce ment is very great to go to California instead, The low fares and the opportunity to visit that State are making people hesitate as to Florida. If you expect to get what belongs to you it ii for your interest to induce low rates for travel Yours truly, F. C. Bartiiolemew, That is not alone Florida’s great need, but is the great need of the entire South. The Sunny South has placed no little stress on this, and has time and again insisted that lower rates of travel and for freights should be made so as to attract travel and immigration southward. All that is wanted, is for settlers and capitalists to see what we have, and how low the prices of land are. Much has been said about the great (con trolling?) interests certain Southern capitalists have in railway combinations and manage ments; but of what value is that to the section of their birth if they flinch from, or neglect to use it for the benefit—the development—of that section. GEORGIA. A postoffice will be established at DeSo- to, on the Americus. Preston & Lumpkin railroad, this week, iwith W. H. Chappell las Postmaster.

Still more iron comes here for the Fort Worth and Denver city road, which is forwarded to its destination in the northwest ern portion of the State by the Houston and Texas Central railway. These figures, which are believed to be a moderate estimate, show that so far as railroad construction is com cemed Texas is doing very well. The amount of capital invested in new man ufacturing enterprises in Texas daring the first nine months of 1887 was $13,508,000, as com pared with $4,133,000 for the like period in 1886.

The Kansas, Wat kins & Golf railway, from Kansas City, is being surveyed The Southron of Sabine, speaking of it says: The location of the| route will be deter mined, doubtless, as much in respect to the situation of the country, as that of the distance. It is thought that a splen did ridge route with but very few obstructions can be had from this Mint to the bayou Toro. From Many to Pleasant Hill the country is in the main level and with hut very few obstructions. This route would he much more on a direct line of travel for the road, and in view of these facts, we venture the opinion, that the latter route, by the way of Many, will be finally adopted.

[Detroit Tribune.] “Last season my maid of all work asked early in the spring if she might have the month of July. I said yes, not realizing the trouble there was in getting help,” said a prominent Detroit lady. “As I could not find a servant I decided to close the house, and go for the monih to one of the fashionable beaches near home. While watching the bathers the morn ing after I arrived, I noticed one, a pretty-look ing girl, picturesquely dressed, who struck ms familiarly; as she came near me I recognized her as my maid Julia, notwithstanding she had changed her hair from dark brown to a pale gold, and I spoke to her. To my surprise she entirely ignored me, never showing by even the raising of an eyebrow that she recognized me or the children. On returning to the hotel I found that she was registered under the name of a friend of mine, a well-known society young lady, whose name she kept during her stop there. Why didn’t I expose her? What would have been the use? She wore better clothes than I did, was bright and pretty, and had gathered around her the cream of the so ciety there. The probability is that if I had said anything no one would have believed me.” It Lasts all the Year Round-Interest- Ins Particulars. [Veto York Mail ] “Two million bunches of bananas come into this port alone, every year now,” said the im porter. “Previous to 1884 there were not near so many. Schooners were employed, and they took six weeks to make a trip, carried only 2,500 bunches and lost a quarter of them on the account of the length of time afloat and the damage by salt water. Now we have regular lines of steamers that carry four or five times as mnch fruit, and make such quick trips that there is practically no loss of fruit.” “Where do the bananas come from?” “Well, the reds, which appear to be the fa vorites, come from Baracoa, Cuba. We get from >0,000 to 40,000 bunches of them a week daring August, but less now| that peaches are in market The yellow ones come from Jamai ca, Panama Costa Rica and Nicaragua. There are some bananas produced in |Florida, where the production is increasing rapidly every year. Bat the home demand prevents any coming here. It will not be very long before the red banaaas will be very scarce, as the Caban planters are replacing them with the yellow slips from Jamaica. The cause of this is that the yellow produce bunches (averaging from $2 to $2 25, while the red will not average more than $1 50 a bunch ” “How do bananas grow?” “On immense plantations, laid off into rows of trees about eight feet apart each way. The trank of the banana tree is composed of the stems of leaves and grows from fifteen to twenty feet high. When the fruiting begins, a bud appears at the top of the stem and de velops into a bunch of bananas. When the fruit is gathered the tree is cut down and left to decay, and new sprouts start np from the same root, and thus the crop is continually re newed. There are about 700 trees to the acre, and each produces one bunch of fruit. New plantations are started by setting out young sprouts about two feet high. The load ing is usually done by forming a line and pass ing the bunches from hand to hand. This is not very pleasant work, as the bunches often contain scorptocs, tarantulas, centipedes, and other venomous insects that get shaken out of the bunches as they are passed, and bite or sting the handler. In the hold of the vessel the bananas are placed in bins holding several hundred bunches each, and arranged to admit all tbe air possible. In winter much care is necessary to prevent the cargo from freezing on the voyage, or while unloading. Bananas are almost tbe only fruit that is always in sea son. They arrive at this port every month in the year. During the poorest months in mid winter we receive 70,000 bunches, and in sum mer the number frequently reaches 350,000 bunches.” None*.—Exchanges and all letters pertaining to Cbees snonJd be addressed J.

Early one morning, a few days ago, Morris Semon, book-keeper for Octave Rassinaer, a Main street wine importer, of Louisville, delib erately cut his throat from ear to ear at his boarding house. In his dying straggles he ni aronnd the room several times bespattering the walls and furniture with blood. The head was nearly severed from the body. No cause is as signed for the rash act. Southern Cross Pearl. A wonderful and beautiful pearl has been found in Western Australia. It is known as the “Southern Cross” pearl. It consists of nine pearls forming the latin cross, seven in the shaft and two in the arms. There is no sign of artificial junction and it is a wonder how the group was formed. The way to boom a river is to dam it, and then break the dam. The way to dam a town is to boom it, and then break the boom. There are now twenty-seven vessels engaged in missionary work in different parts of the world under the auspices of sixteen societies; of these missionary vessels sixteen are running on th# coasts or rivers of Africa, and six among the islands of the Pacific Ocean. Sir Robert Ball, the Irish astronomer, is on a tour of America. He thinks the Canadian skies far surperior to Old World ones for ob servation purposes. He may tarry some months in the Rocky Mountain system. The arrest of General Boulanger is nothing. The great Napoleon at the beginning of his ca reer was confined in a guard house ten days. In that time he mastered the entire body of French civil and criminal jurisprudence. Many of the Louisiana and Mississippi col ored people who live in Southern Kansas are cultivating cotton with considerable success. Helena, M. T., claims to be the richest city of its size in the United States. The actual capital employed in establishments in the city is $10,000,000. It may be mentioned that the Titania and Shamrock—whose sailing qualities are so near ly alike that after repeated trials the question of speed supremacy has not yet been satisfac torily decided—were originally built to defend the enp in case of a challenge by a second-class cabin cutter. The Jolly Girl. The jolly girl is born—not made; no train ing or endeavor can counterfeit her. There are those, to be sure, who affect jollity, but it is only skin deep. The jolly girl is jolly tinder adverse circumstances—in bad weather; when she hasn’t a cent to her name; when she has the toothache; when she has lost her situation; when she breaks her needle; when her hair tumbles down in public; when she is shopping; when her masculine neighbor at the theatre goes out, and when he returns; when her bills are due. She never seems to indulge in that feminine luxury, “the blues,” and it is a mis take to suppose that she is noisy; there is jol lity of the lady-like, aristocratic sort, as well as of the fish-wife order. The girl who makes up her mind that jollity is the proper cure, and that she will be lively or die, usually overdoes the business; she thinks that it chiefly con sists in laughing and in chattering non sense, that it is a manner of speech merely, rather than a quality of the mind, which dis poses one to make the best of everything, to see the rainbow on the cloud and the silver lining behind it, to make the wrinkle in the rose leaf a cause for mirth. Some believe that jollity is an affair of embonpoint; bat who has not been disappointed in finding the stout wo man melancholy and the thin one vivacious, the billions person full of good humor and the person whose digestion never gave her a mo ment’s uneasiness, quite the reverse? The jolly girl cannot suppress herself, and assume sadness or pensiveness, languishing airs do not sit well upon her, but show at a glance that they are borrowed plumes. One is never dull with her. She has that infinite variety which ail the world covets and loves. It may be a desirable thing that those who have this natural grace should cultivate and encourage it in them selves and others, since it brightens and strengthens life, makes rough places smoother and pleasant plact s pleasanter. Possibly it is no special virtue in the jolly girl, any more than blue eyes in the blond maiden or red hair in the Titianesque. Jollity flows from her presence as the nightingale’s fluting 'bab bles from his throat and enchants the world, just as the poet pours forth his song “in pro fuse strains of unpremeditated art,” just as the trees blossom, the grasses sprout, the stars shine, without effort, without design, with sincerity and constancy and spontaneity. Let her be shipwrecked, or an invalid strand ed on a bed of pain, yet she does not lose or Abate that peculiar trait which is sunshine for those about her and sweeps the cobwebs out of their sky.—Harpers’ Bazaar.

The internal revenue receipts from whisky fell off $3,262,941. Egg albumen is sold for seventy-five cents per pound in France. Eggs are used largely in the arts, egg oil being made from the yolks, and albumen from the whites. Capt. Norris rented the extensive Danby moors, near Whitby, England, of its owner, Lord Downes, for gronse shooting, and in six days the captain and his friends, fourteen guns, bagged 1,996 brace. Daring the last nineteen seasons 45,000 brace of grouse have been shot on these moors. The proportion of men to women in the medical profession is 35 to 1. There are now 2,500 women holding first-class diplomas from duly incorporated medical colleges. This is what has been accomplished since 1850. The Lost Papa. The following story, related in Babyhood, is said to be an actnal fact: Three little children rode down to the station with papa, who was “going to town” for fam ily supplies. Papa had always worn heavy whiskers and mustache. He visited the bar ber and came home with closely-cropped locks and close-trimmed mustache only. The loss of his luxuriant beard actually transformed him so that his “best friend” would have scarcely known him. The children, being ac customed to strangers, chatted with him on his return, and nothing strange was noticed until they began to worry lest papa was not coming home that night. “Why, papa has come home,” said mamma in wondering tones. “Why don’t he come in tbe house?” “Why, he has been in. Don’t you remem ber he brought yon some peanuts?” “That gentleman? That’s company!” In vain mamma explained; and, when papa came into the house again, he was told the children’s grief at his non-return. He tried to convince them, but it was not possible. The positive temperament they had inherited from him was not to be argued with success. Grave ly they noticed that he actually received all papa’s privileges, aud seemed scandalized that he put them to bed, and occupied papa’s room, and waited on them just as papa used to do! Gradually they fell into the habit of calling him papa, but to them he was the “newpapa;’’ and they sadly wondered for months if the “old papa,” who “went to town,” would never, never come home any more.

Car Coupler at Last. The Engineering News asserts that the bal lots so far indicate the adoption of the recom mendations of the Master Car Builders’ Asso ciation concerning automatic couplers “by at least the necessary two-thirds.” It is proba ble, therefore, that in the next twelve months safe automatic couplers will be substituted for the perilous “link and pin” on many roads, and that the mortality caused by the use of the link and pin will be greatly reduced. About 450 railroad employees are killed every year in this country while using the old coup ler, and more than 4,000 are severely injured. Large Body of Land Sold. On Thursday, October 4th, at Vicksburg, the United States marshal sold here to-day 150,000 acres of land iocated in the counties of Sharkey, Isaquenna and Washington, to satisfy a judgment of nearly $750,000 in favor of William H. Thompson, trustee of the estate of Henry Clews of New York, against the Sel ma, Marion and Memphis Railroad. The en tire parcel of land was bid in by the State for the|nominal price of §12,000. The road was projected by the late Gen. N. B. Forrest short ly after the war. A man who stole a $20 bill at Albuquerque, N. M., didn’t find out that it was counterfeit until he was arrested for attempting to paaa it. Let age, not envy, draw wrinkles on thy cheeks; be content to be envied, bnt envy not. —Lord Bacon.

THIS COOD OLD STAND-BY accomplishes for everybody exactly what Is claimed forlt. One of the reamoas for tbe great popularity of the Mustang Liniment Is found in its universal applicability. Everybody needs such a medicine. The Lumberman needs it In case of accident. The Housewife needs It for generalfamlly use. The Cannier needs It for his teams and his men. The Mechanic needs It always on his wort? bench. The Miner needs It In case of emergency. The Pleneer needs It—can’tget along without U. The Farmer needs It in his house, his stably and his stock yard. The Steamboat man or the Boa-man needs It In liberal supply afloat and ashore. The Horse,fancior needs It—It is his heal friend and safest reliance. The Stock-grower needs It—It will save him thousands of dollars and a world of trouble. The Railroad man needs it and will need it SO long as his life is around of accidents and dangers. The Backwoodsman needs It. There Is noth, leglike it as an antidote for the dangers tolifts limb snd comfort which surround the pioneer. The Merchant needs it about his store among his employees.
