erietors who have spent a couple of years
it ft university, and is a mixture of the
Lmed and the agricultural Another
door in the audicnce-room leads to Prince
Bismarck’* private apartments, the first of
which is the library, which contains books
nil subjects of general interest, and lias
means tho character of a book
worm's favorite “retire,” but rather that
of a man’s library who finds little or uo
time to devote to rending. The prince's
studv is a very largo room, with several
mahogany tables well able to bear large
loads of manuscripts and documents. The
windows look toward the south, and close
to them stands an enormous writing desk,
with an uncomfortable chair that has no
lack to it. A bronze inkstand, blue sand,
nod paper are the only implements, besides
a goose quill, the only kind of pen ever
used by tbo chancellor, who abhors steel
wns. In a corner of the window recess,
just ’opposite the chancellor’s scat, stands
u bureau, above which hangs the emperor’s
portrait.
At the other end of tho room, where
the light from the window docs not well
penetrate, stand several couches and arm
chairs, in which Bismarck loves to rest,
with a pipe in his mouth and deep thought
on his earnest brow. The walls of tills
sanctum arc decorated with portraits of
the chancellor’s ouly daughter, Couutcss
Hantzau, Princess Bismarck, and Counts
Herbert and William. In a dark corner
stands a small card table which Bismarck
brought home from the Franco-German
war." On it was signed the peace between
Germany and Fiance, Feb. 26, 1871. The
next apartment is Bismarck’s bed-room,
which is furnished with still more sim
plicity than tho two rooms preceding it
The walls arc decorated with several
family portraits, and a comfortable couch
is the only superfluous piece of furniture
which the room musters. To tho English
eye. perhaps, the large quantity of feather
beds in the four-poster would not seem a!
together indispensable.
A Litllo Virginia Girl.
Joaquin Sillier, the poet and novelist,
has been clown in the West Virginia
mountains and ho writes to The New
York Star;
“A little Virgiuian climbed up the steps
like a little pet squirrel; she was just as
frisky; her hair as black, bushy and
abundant; her eyes as bright ancf ninny
times as large and beautiful. Ah, me!
my heart went all to pieces at once. She
was only a dozen years old, and yet she
was a woman. But she didn’tknow it nt
all; she didn’t dream of such a bing. And
that is what made her so ten-fold formid
able. I gavo her my scat in the packed
car, and she thanked mo with such
promptness and grace, such precision of
silent, good taste, that I wanted to stand
there before her and wait all the days of
my life for her to speak. But she
never spoke. Her hair was all tumbled
about, hor dress was torn badly,
her small, dimpled bands wero brown and
briar-torn. Pretty soon sho dived her left
hand into her pocket, threw back her
black hair with the right hand, and so be
gan to crack u lot of chestnuts with the
whitest set of teeth and reddest lips you
ever looked ut. Dear, lovely little girl,
bhe was tho daintiest bit of nature I have
seen this side of Oregon. And although l
I shall never see her again, I venture my
life that she is of the best blood in tho
land, one of the ruined families of the
a pitiful little waif, whose valiant
people went down to battle and never
came back to her mother and her mother’s
pother any more. And when J coutrust
her wild refinement to tho big-footed
vulgarity in lace and diamonds constantly
encountered in New York I again full to

WOLF HUNTING IN IDAHO*
Running Down Lupine Prowlers
wills Horses and Hounds.
| [Snake River Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer.]
I oo hour out of camp the baying
j of the hounds in a coppico to the right of
j u ® tQ ld that something was started, and
I the next miuutc a lank, gray wolf, with
six cubs streaming after her. dashed out
, into the open ground, and ran past us so
. close that wc might have killed her
with a revolver; but something liko
pity stayed every mau’s hand, and
j we let her go by us without a shot The
I cubs were evidently four or five mouths
old, and kept well up with the mother
who moved over the prairie like a gray
streak. When the dogs finally broke
cover she had disappeared around the fuce
of a hillock, to the top of which wc
spurred our horses iu order to see the re
mainder of the chase. In the course of a
few minutes it was plain to seo that lhe
cubs were losing their wind; one of them
falling behind so rapidly that he was al
most in the jaws of the foremost hound,
mid the others, while keeping ahead, giv-
in^ every evidence of distress.
The mother wolf was not moving at
her best by any means, ami if she would
abandon her cubs to the dogs might easily
escape; but instead of doing that she sud
denly wheeled around, while the cubs
kept on forward, aud doubling square on
her track closed with the hound who was
in the lead and uot more than ten paces
from the exhausted young one. Before
the dog could recover from his surprise
she had him by the throat, her long, white
teeth cuttiug through skin and muscles,
then closing and tearing out wind-pipe,
jugular vein aud gullet. It was only a
single bite; but the spread and streugtn of
her jaws, as well as the sharpness of her
.teeth, made it fatal. Then she humped
up her back, aud iu ten bounds had re
gained the lost ground, and was again iu
full retreat in the center of her family.
In the nature of things, however, the
cubs could not stand the killing pace; they
fell behind iu oues and twos, and the re
sult was a foregone conclusion—at least it
wus so until the mother adopted a new set
of tactics.^ She started off at right angle
with the line pursued by the cuus, swerv
ing in her course so as to bring herself
very ucar to the hounds, apparently with
the purpose of attracting the chase to her
self. Three of tho dogs accepted the in
vitation, aud presently were cut of
sight in the rough country to which she
led them, while the remaining two busied
themselves with the cubs now left to their
own devices.
At a rattling pace wc set off across the
country in the direction taken by the old
wolf, and presently from an elevation dis
covered the chase not far ahead. The
dogs were rapidly pining on the prey,
and we spurred on iu order to be in at the
death. The run was but a short one, and
before one drew near enough for the ef
fective use of our shot-guns the dogs had
dragged the tired animal to the ground
and were tearing at her throat. Wolf
skins in the frontier market bring from
$1.50 to $8 each, and as every pelt wo
captured during the hunt was to fall to the
share of Jim, our cook, lie was probably
the most eager member of the chase. lie-
rode into the thick of the fight, and kick
ing the dogs to right and left had the skin
stripped from the animat before the blood
bad done flowing from its throat.
Rejected as Wauling Muscle.
[Loluml’s English Letter. 1
Oscar Wilde read a lecturo here recently
on “Dress. ”* Discussing him afterward
during a long walk with a very intelligent
young magazinist, I expressed a wonder
that Air. Wilde, with an wlmJreble educa
tion, much real learning, and a good social
position, had uot availed himself of it to
assume a higher place in tho great art
movemeut of the age, as he might easily
have done. My friend had his own views
of the matter. Air. Wilde, he said, could
not have been at tho head of any such re
form, localise manly exercise formed no
part of liis system, and he who does uot
Include that will never be listened to.
“ Why, ” added my friend, with some dis
gust, “he does not even play cricket. ”
And it is unfortunately true that the
Swlnburne-Bosetti-Burne Jones school of
ineffable yearning, passion and Balzac-
Bandelaire exalted sensuality, mixed with
medieval raptures of sin and sanctity, have
nil been rejected by the young aud grow
ing generation as diseased aud wanting
muscle. The esthetes of Punch do not
suggest health or vigor, and long hair is
being clipped off even by many maidens—
not by any means to tho improvement of
their good looks. He who would inaugurate
a grand esthetic reform in England should
base it on the Greek or Homan models;
and If sin and sugar is to he a part of the
course of medicine we must bo guaran
teed that tho doses shall bo strong tonics,
and not emetics; for who can look on a
Grosvcnor gallery damsel with a yellow
bush of curls concealing her bclludonna
eyes, of chloratic-olivc hue, her figure al
most a skeleton, in a sage-colored garment,
without reculling Heine's youth in a long,
given overcoat, who reminded him of the
same repulsive remedy?
Expectancy and Realization,
[Lilian Whiting’s Lett*.]
To the Individual of moods aud tenses,
uu attitude of expectancy iu conversational
intercourse is futal. It is the influcncc-
thut paralyzes one mentally, that re
presses all possibilities of expression. The
more sensitive one is to immaterial in
fluences the more iuevitablo is tho expe
rience.
A typical Illustration of this truth is
that of Heine’s first interview' with Goethe.
He came into his presence reverent, ex
pectant, and in an intense state of sensi
tive impressibility to the Goethean atmos
phere. lie had lain awake many nights,
ho tells us, thinking of the brilliant and
profound things he W’ould say to Goetho
when they met; but on tho point of con
tact these all vanished, uud his only ob
servation on meeting Goethe was that tin
plums he hud eaten on his way from Jena
to Weimar bad a flue flavor.
Tiu-Plato of Steel.
[Chicago Times.]
The employment of steel in the manu
facture of tin-plate is rapidly increasing
In England, owing to the cheap rate ut
which steel can uow be produced, and it
is likely to lead to excellent results in a
direction which was not contemplated.
Those engaged in the canned and tinned
meat trade, aware of the danger to health
incurred by those who use this class of
. provisions, are beginning to insist that tho
’ tins should be made of stocl Instead of iron
os heretofore. The can production has
now assumed such gigantic proportions
that the employment of mild steel iu this
direction will necessarily lie on a large seals
also.
