members protested against Russia
j that she is making war for the pro

Athens, April 26.—The inhabitants

Oolos, considered the Russian

The Times, in its leading ar
ticle, reviewing the argument that
the Czar was irresistibly im
pelled to war by the will of
the people, says, this is consistent
and intelligible, but it is not the lan
guage of a remarkable being; it is
the language of northern hordes
thrust to starve out of their forests,
to seek food wherever it could be
found. The world will not long per
mit the earth to be desolated by a
struggle, begun in an interchange
of defiances, and if left to itself,
is pretty sure to last as long as one
party has the strength to hurl defi
ance at the other. Wars begun in
reason may spontaneously end in
reason; the weak may bow to the
strong; but here there is neither rea
son nor wisdom. A long score of
mutual injuries has led to an accu
mulation of hatred which must
be drowned in blood. Civilization
acknowledges no such dire necessi
ties. Unfortunately, the struggle is
not one far distant from the territory
of civilization, but it is an awful and
present danger. In self-defence, civ
ilization will have to confine It to

We regrot this policy, because
they were apparently perfectly

we would prevent by our veiV anxi

thing more than the resolution of a
strong man armed to hold his own

Mr. Healey, tho American painter,
must have been particularly grateful
for the news from Berlin, for it filled
his studio in Paris last week with
distinguished men who wished to see
his recently completed portrait of
Disiuurck. Bismarck stands six feet
three, and is broad to match, he is
dressed s a general of cavalry, in
a dark-blue frock with yellow facings,
and for sole decoration he wears tno
Order of the Iron Cross. The picture
is that of a soldier-diplomatist. He
is seated at a writing-table, his left
hand resting on a manuscript, his
right holding a pen. He would have
liked to appear as a soldier, and
nothing else, on the well known prin
ciple that renders men indifferent to
their repute in t hose things in which
they most easily succeed. “They
caught me young, and look me away
from the career of arms,” he said re
gretfully to the artist, “or else.”—
Thfe face is surmounted by a bald
crown, and ends in a comfortable
double chin. The blue eyes would
be almost benevolent in expression
but for a certain fierceness given
to their glanco at all times by
tho heavy brows fringed with masses
of once light-golden hair, now, like
the thick mustach oof the same color,
fast turning'to gray. “I suppose I
am the only man in Europe that can
bite his own eyebrows,” said the
Prince to Mr. Healey laughingly
drawing one of the long hairs down
to his very mouth.
The French papers describe an in
vention for driving a horse by elec
tricity. The coachman is to have
under his seat an electro-rnagnectic
apparatus, which he works by a lit
tle handle. One wire* is carried
through the rein to the bit and car
ried to the crupper, so that a cur
rent once set up goes the entire
length of the animal along the spine.
A sudden shock* will, we are gravely
assured, stop the most violent run
away or the most obstinate jibber.
The creature, however strong and
vicious is “transformed into a sort
of inoffensive horse of wood, with
the feet nailed to the ground.” Cu
riously enough, tho opposite effect
may be produced by a succession of
small shocks. Under the influence
of these the variest screw can be en
dowed with a vigor and fire indescrib
able.
It was Voltaire who said : "Who
ever savs to me, ‘think as I do, or

children sentiments of brotherhood.”

along ahead of mo for about fifty
I feet, but then I put the whip to the
I horse, caught up, aud the axle took

saw.”
The crowd thought he lied about,
it, and a free fight was the result of
the discussion that ensued. Peter
was tho only one arrested, aud he
walked out fully prepared to stick to
his original assertion.
“Peter, why did you go and lie and
get up a row?” inquired his Honor.
“I told nothing but the solemn
truth,” answered the piisouer.
“What kept that side of the sulky
in the air when the wheel ran off?”
"The fast motion, I s’pose.”
“Peter, won’t you own up that you
iled?”
“I can'tdo it,” was tho sad reply.
"It doesn’t seem at all probable
that one side of a sulky would stay
up in that way,” mused his Honor,
“but yet I can’t say. We’ll pass that
over and send you up for raising a

HOW THEY KILL DUCKS IN FLORIDA.
Ocala (Fla.) correspondence.]
How they kill ducks on Lake Wier
is known all over Florida, but from
some cause I did not hear of it until
I had been in theiHtate several weeks.
But so soon as I heard of it I struck
for the noted place to see the show.
Between Lake Weir aud Little Lake
there is a neck of land thirty feet
wide by a half mile long. Tho duck
hunters, sometimes as many as
twenty, are strung up and dowu this
neck of land. There they stand in
wire grass up to tiieir necks, armed
with long poles, having strong liues
about six feet long with fourteen
ounce balls of lead attached to the
little end of tiie poles, ready for the
sport. Other men, who are called
grabbers—l suppose been use they
grab up the dead and wounded—line
the beach with their little boats.
About half an hour by the sun the
ducks begin to come from a large
section of the country to roost on
Lake Wier. Bakes alive! The
ducks, the ducks!
You have seen a swarm of bees on
the wing; it beats them all “to hol
low.” After the ducks get to pass
ing the “neck” good, they look like
a dark cloud moving for several
miles out on the lake. Tbore are
more ducks right on and about Lake
Wier, than in the whole States of
Georgia, South Carolina and Alaba
ma combined. And the noise. Please
don’t say anything to me about fuss.
I have heard whole army trains of
wagons crossing over a turnpike, the
“roar of cannon and the rattle of
musketry.” I have heard storms on
the water. But I irave not heard any
thing equal the noise the ducks made
flying over. The evening I was there
they killed and wounded 1,500, aud
did not got them all either. A largo
number of these birds are consumed
by the people, living in and arouud
Lake Wier. The wounded, those
not too badly hurt, have their wings
cropped, and are turned into a small
lake, with a high plank fence
around it, made for the purpose.
The rest of the; ducks are dressed and
shipped, It being a fine source of
profit to the place. The duck sea
son begiues about November 1, and
lasts until the middle of March. It
is worth a thousand dollars to see
the sight.
A. IJviuK Lie.
This very strange story is told as
an apologue for Arina Dickinson's
benefit by a writer in the New York
World. For that purpose, it nas no
point; but it will do by itself. It is
a painter who tells the tale:
“I have loved but one woman in
my life,” he said. “Her beuuty and
her character were all my dreams
had promised me. Witli her I passed
five years of perfect happiness, full
or quiet joys. I owe her much of my
celebrity or to-day, for at her side
work was easy arid inspiration came
in rapid gusts. She is now dead, aud
died loving me.” , . . .
“Yet,” the fond look vanishing
and the lines of his mouth growing
hard and rigid, “yet I never think of
her without auger. If I try to recall
her as I saw her for those five years,
ir I seek to give form to the delicious
vision my eyes summon up, it is only
to repeat once more to myself that I
hate her.
“She told me the story of her life
soon after I first met her. She had
been married when very young to a
profligate, .who had spent her for
tune and brought his dissolute life to
a close in Italy. Her parents were
dead, but she had an uncle living at
a country place not far from Albany,
old, and occupying a high social
position, and also a married sister
living a little way up the Hudson.
The sister was the only member of
the family with whom she had anv
relations, for her husband’s wildness
had estranged her from the |rest.
Since his death she had supported
herself by giving lessons in music
and painting In rich houses. All
this, and much more, she told me,
supplementing It with inflite detail.
I married her, questioning noth
ing. She begged me to allow her to
continue the profession she had cho
sen. There was nothing irksome in
it, she said; all her pupils, daughters
of bankers or wealthy people, loved
and respectod her, and often she
showed mo a bracelet or ring they
had given her. Indeed, by this
means she was able to dress far more
richly than my scanty income would
have otherwise allowed. On Sundays
she went invariably to see her sis
ter, returning at night with long sto
ries of the children's heulth and inci
dents of tho visit and a thousand lit
tle trifles.
“One night she fell ill, and I learn
ed after a while from the doctor that
her illness was incurable. I was
wild with grief. But before all
things I determined to reconcile her
with her family. I telegraphed to
the sister, and took the first train
that would carry me to the uncle’s
country seat.
“‘Your niece is dying,’ I said
quickly, as soon as I was introduced
into the presence of a venerable old
gentleman. ‘My niece,’ he replied,
in astonishment. ‘I have no nice.’
“I hastened to tell him who I was,
praying him to forget his resentment
and to come with me; but the more
urgent I became tho more astonish
ed he seemed, always persisting in
his denial; and at last he showed me
tothe door, thinking I was a practi
cal joker.
“With a strange presentment of
ill upon me I Hastened back, intend
ing to go to tho houses wiiere my
wife had given lessons. Nobody in
any of them had ever heard her
name. I rushed home, and there
found a telegram from the sister.
She had no sort of knowledge of my
wife.
“When I entered the room of the
dying woman, she looked at me
wearily from tho bed. She was wast
ed to a shadow. But I burst out in
my rage: “You have never given
lessons. You have no family. I
have been everywhere and no one
knows you.
Wtiere did you get the mouey.from
the jewels, the dresses ?” Sue look
ed at me once more, this time with a
look of terrible sadness—and that
was all.
“But my jealousy was stronger
than my pity.”
“You have deceived me for five
years. You have lied to me every
day—every hour. You know every
fact of my life, and I know not one
of yours. I now insist on learning
the truth. Who are you? Where did
you come from ? What did you want
with me that you marred mo ?”
“But it was all in vaiu; instead of
answering me, she turned her face
resolutely to the wall, as though in
fear that her last look would reveal
her secret. And so she died, as she
lived, false to the last.
The Blue Glass Fraud.—But, real
ly, what do you think of Pleasontou
aud the blue glass cure? is now the
obtrusive question. Well, we think
that tho man is a pestilent ignora
mus, and his book tiie ghastliest rub
bish that has been printed in a hun

honest, but this is no reason why we
should give attention to his egregious
folly. Pleasonton, however, it must
be confessed, serves one important
function ; he gauges for us the depth
ithd density of American stupidity.
Do Morgan says, somewhere, that
certain men appear occasionally to
play the part of “foolorneters” in
the community, that is, to measure
the number and quality of the fools
furnished by any given state of so
ciety. Pleasonton has done this for
us with an accuracy that leave? noth

public that it will continue to realize
the happiest results that can be desired.
In almost every section of country
there are persons, publicly known, who
have been restored from alarming and
even desperate diseases of the lungs,
by its use. All who have tried it ac
knowledge its superiority; and where
its virtues are known, no one hesitates
as to what medicine to employ to re
lieve the distress and suffering peculiar
to pulmonary affections. Cherry Pec

the more formidable diseases of the

it never will.
Emluent Physicians throughout the
country prescribe it, and Clergymen
often recommend it from their knowl
