BISMARCK IN THE REICHSTAC-
Since Prince Bismarck has been
replaced by Chancellor Von Caprivi,
the people of the whole civilized
world have been wondering wbat
would be his next move.
Tbe New York Herald has the fol
lowing to say about him :
If one reads between the lines he
is apt to get a good deal of interest
ing information. “Things are not
what they seem,” either in religion
or politics.
Bismarck may go to tbe Reichstag
from Geestemnnde. There is noth
ing strange about that. But it is
reported that tbe socialists, bis old
enemies, whose hatred of the Prince
has been violent and implacable, will
support him. Indeed he can scarce
ly be elected unless they do support
him.

How the strains of her violin sound, at her will.
Like the chords of a human heart
It is only a dream, such as travelers say
Thirst gives in the lands of the sun;
And the sad, sweet face and the farm pass
away-
The music and glory are done!
I call on my lore In griefs passionate words.

Are these socialists in love with

Herr Bismarck says he is a protec

that in passing the McKinley bill tbe
Republicans made a gigantic mistake.
Herr Bismarck is correct.

FEUDS AND VENDETTAS-
The cessation of hostilities in tbe
notorious Hatfield McCoy fend, that
has disturbed tbe Kentucky and
West Virginia border for many years,
has been accomplished by tbe mar
riage of one of tbe Hatfields with
Miss McCoy.
It brings to mind a fact that
should be impressed on every citi
zen of tbe Republic.
TLe time has come in the history
of onr great nation when we must do
onr utmost to raise civilization to
its highest standard. Tbe eyes of
the world are upon us, and we most
satisfy the demand made upon us
for the highest type of civilization.
There should be no feuds between
any of onr people; no lasting enmity
to blight many lives ; no rancorous
malice to disturb tbe peace of tbe
itizens.
The day of tbe vendetta at least
should be over in this land. Onr
r”b»n8 should never let their pri-
\\. _ i-uimosities get the best of their
judgment. The world is not bright-

Beckwith.—An original and only
crayon portrait of tbe late Bishop
Beckwith baa been sent by Mr. Henry
F. Spalding, of New York, to Sister
Catherine, who has charge of the Ap
pleton Churoh home, at Macon, to be
placed in the home. Mr. Spalding
married a sister of Bishop Beckwith.*
Bacon.—Maj. A. O. Bacon and tbe
late Capt. John C. Rutherford were
law partners about fifteen years, the
death of Rutherford alone severing the
partnership. The question has been
asked, whom would Maj. Bacon now
take in partnership?
A companion, as ragged and vicious
looking as himself, stood waiting for
him some distance down the street.
“What kept you so long?" he growled.
Any luck?"
“I should say so,” was the response.
“You didn’t get any money, did you?"
“No, but we’ll soon have plenty if we
manage things right”
And he proceeded to confide what he
had overheard,wb—t tho other worthy's
eyes glistened.
"Well, that is hick, and no mistake,
he said. “If he's only a boy it will be as
easy as rolling off a log. There ho comes
now.”
At that moment Chip Ferris was clos
ing Mr. Stockwell’s gate.
He walked down the street in the di
rection of the two men, giving them no
more than a casual glance as he passed
by, for tramps were no rarity in Lebanon.
“Those fellows are pretty rough look
ing customers,” he thought “It’s a won
der the constable hasn’t got them.”
It was 3 o’clock then, and he went to
the stable in the rear of the shop and
harnessed the horse to a light vehicle.
The drive to Milldale was a pleasant
one, and Chip enjoyed the prospect of it
exceedingly.
About a mile from town, reetingjnn-
deraleafy tree by the roadside, were
the two tramps he had seen some time
before.
Hellol” ho said to himself. “There
are those fellows again. I wonder what
they’re up to now.”
He passed by in a cloud of dost, and,
looking back, saw that an animated con
versation had suddenly sprang np be
tween the two.
Somehow Chip got It into his head that
they were talking about him.
They can’t know about the money,
of course,” he said, uneasily. “Such
men look evil enough to do anything.
When he reached Milldale he was dis
appointed to learn that Mr. Hanley had
gone into the country to look at a colt
.that he thought of purchasing.
The money was locked up in the safe
and he had the key with him, so that
there was nothing for Chip to do bnt to
wait for his return, which he did with a
good deal of impatience.
It was nearly 6 o’clock and the sun
was far down in the west when Mr.
Hanley came back, and Chip lost no
time in transacting with him the busi
ness on which he had come.
Better stay with me to supper, Chip,’
said Mr. Hanley. “There’ll be a moon
at 8 to light you back.”
“No, thank you,” said Chip. “I don’t
want to be out late with this money.
TO just take some bread and cheese with
me.”
He bade Mr. Hanley good-by, and,
giving his horse the reins, was soon
going at a smart pace through Milldale,
until the last of the straggling houses at
its outskirts was left far behind.
The sun sank behind the distant bine
bills and twilight came on.
“It won’t be Jong now before it’s dark,'
said Chip. “I hope I won’t meet those
tramps again. They’d stop me in a min
ute if they thought I had so much money
about me.”
As the light faded he grew more nerv
ous, and, with an idea ia his head, he
reined in the horse to carry it out, first,
looking around to satisfy himself that
no one was in sight
In his pocket was » copy ef the village
paper, which he carefully tore in to strips
the size of bank notes.
He selected from the roll of notes Mr.
Hanley had given him four of the least
valuable and wrapped them around the
stripe, placing them in his pocketbook.
The money he hid in one of his shoes.
“Perhaps Pm over cautious,” he told
himself, with a smile. “Those men
have likely enough taken another road,
but if they should try to rob me this bo
gus roll may fool them.”
He was half way home when he came
to a large tract of woods, through which
the road passed for some distance:
The thick foliage of the over arching
trees shut out the light, and the road
was so bad that Chip was obliged to let
the horse walk.
.There was on absurd story which had
long been current of a headless horse
man who appeared in these very woods,
and Chip could not help recalling it with
a shudder in spite of its utter improba
bility.
Suddenly the horse shied, and the
fctaxtledboycaughtjnght of_two dark
figures lying in wait at the side of tlio
The horse gave a leap forward, but a
hand seized the bridle and swerved the
ntiimnl to one side, so that the vehicle
was nearly overturned in the deep rut.
“No, you don’t, youngster,” a gruff
voice said. “Just you give up that
money you got at Milldale or it will go
hard with you.”
“How do you know I got any money.
« g y^l chip, with a fast beating heart,
for he saw the gleam of a revolver that
was in the man’s hand.
“None of that,” replied the rascal an
grily. “You just give it up, that’s all.
If you don’t you’ll never drive this wagon
again.’*
Chip took his pocketbook out with
trembling fingers, and tbe man greedily
snatched it from him.
“You’ll let me go now, won’t you?” the
boy pleaded.
“Not much,” said the robber coolly.
“Get out of that vehicle, and don’t waste
any time about it. Do you hear me?”
With ■Raving limbs Chip obeyed and
submitted to a thorough search of his
pockets, after which be was bound, with
his arms behind him, to a tree.
“There, I fancy that’ll do,” said the
man, with p chuckle. "Turn the vehi
cle round, Bill, and let’s be off.
“Are you sure you’ve got all?" his com
panion asked.
“Yes,” was the reply. “If w© hadn’t
used up all the matches trying to get a
light for onr pipes I’d count what was in
the pocketbook.”
The two rogues jumped into the vehi
cle and drove off in 'the direction of Mill-
dale, leaving Chip straining and tagging
at the rope that bound him.
Pn» fear that the robbers would return
when they discovered the deception that
had been practiced upon them made him
almost frantic, but all his efforts to free
himself were in .vain.
Helpless and exhausted he awaited the
outcome, turning pole at every noise that
he heard in the woods.
He was as brave as any ordinary boy,
but beads of perspiration were on his
brow and his hair almost stood up on
end when at length he heard the omin
ous? sound of wheels drawing near.
•Good gracious!” hq said in temn.
“It’s they: and they’ll kill me.”
Nearer and nearer came the sound,
and then, as the vehicle passed by, there
was a sudden transition from despair to
hope.
“Stop!” cried Chip wildly. “Help,
help!”
Who is it?” a startled voice called
back. “ What are yon doing there?”
It’s I—Chipman Ferris,” said the boy.
Two men, who tried to rob me, have
tied me to a tree.”
He beard some one alight,' and the
next moment footsteps came crashing to
ss'# hits.
Chip was overjoyed to recognize Mr.
Bolton,-a farmer well known to him.
“How did you come to get in such a
fix, Chip?” lie asked, as with a few cuts
of his knife be released him from his un
comfortable position.
Chip explained to Mr. Bolton how he
had been waylaid, and the farmer said
indignantly:
The villains! Th^ must have taken
tbe road to Malden, for I didn't pass
them.”
Just as they were getting into the far
mer’s vehicle they heard the sound of
angry voices from behind.
Quick, Mr. Bolton!” cried Chip, ex
citedly. “They are armed, and they are
coming back.”
The farmer needed no urging, but
gave his horse tho whip.
As they llew on they still heard the
desperate, men venting their rage in
angry threats, and they knew they were
in hot pursuit.
They emerged into the open, and look
ing back in the light of the moon that
had risen, Chip could see the men as
they beat their jaded horse in their ef
fort to overtake them.
The rascals shouted out for them to
stop, and discharged their revolvers to
intimidate thorn, but Mr. Bolton’s horse
was the fresher of the two, and they
soon gave np the chase.
Chip was glad when he saw at length
the lights of Lebanon shining out from
ahead, and it wa3 not long before every
one in the village knew of the attempted
robbery.
The constable and several men at
once started out to arrest the tramps
and fonnd the horse and vehicle aban
doned by tho roadside, the men having
feared capture and taken to the woods.
Bnt the telegraph is effective, and the
very next day the robbers were arrested
in another county and got the punish
ment they so richly deserved.—New

The egg shell is largely carbonate and

He Didn’t Purchase the Shoes.
It was nearly 6 o’clock one evening
when a gentleman, apparently 60 years
of age, entered one of onr leading shoe
stores. He wanted a pair of shoes, he
said, and the clerk proceeded to supply
his wants. The customer selected
pair of $3 shoes, and while the clerk,
who was in a hurry to get home, was
hastily doing them up the man hunted
his pockets over -and after much exer
tion pulled out thirty coupons in pay
ment for the shoes. The clerk protested
that the coupons were of no use, and the
man insisted that they were. The dark
explained that the fihn had published
coupons in an evening paper with the
announcement that they would deduct
ten emits from each dollar purchased.
The man had cut the coupons from
thirty papers and saved them to secure a
pair of shoes, and was deeply disgusted
that he couldn’t get them.—Springfield
