It Is furnished Ike all the rooms of Ocrmnn lauded pro- 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.

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. Why T*iuijr«on FleJ.
