BISMARCK’F INSULT.
A GERM AN-AMERICAN EDITOB's SOLU
TION OF THE AFFAIR.
New York, Feb. 20.— Die Staats
Zaitung editorially says in regard to
the return of tho Ltaker resolution
by Prinoe Bismarok: "The Aoglo-
Ameiioan press is beginning to treat
ia a more serious matter the relations
between the United States and Ger
many. These papers, however, are
not assisting the cause of justice and
right by asserting that the return of
the Lasker resolution Is simply a
piece of malice on the part of Prince
Bismarck, whom they accuse of
boorishness. It is only too true that
Prinoe Bismarck looks upon every
opposition as a rebellious act, and it
is equally true that political differ
ences of opinloß are not tolerated
in Germany to the same extent as in
thiscouniry, but Prince Bismarck's
hatred against Her Lasker does not
explain the return of the resolution
of condolence, and our coufreres of
the English press place too low an
estimate upon the Ohanoellor when
they are of the opinion that such
hatred was alone instrumental in
making him assume his present
unfriendly attitude toward the United
States. He has long ago assumed
- his attitude, and if this had not been
the case he wouldn’t have sought to
make so much capital of the Lasker
resolution as he has done in this
instance. We have to deal with an
act which is no doubt only a part of
apian which Prince Bismarck is now
systematically pursuing. To-day’s
cable dispatches, stating that
naturaliz'd German-Amerlcan citi
zeus wtio return to Germany are
again being vigorously subjected to
military duty, aud that the German
foreign office ignores United States
Minister Sargent, and conducts all
n> gotiations directly with Washing
ton, will be essentially instru
mental in enlightening Ameri
cans as to the situation.
The treatment which Mr. Sargent
has for some time received at the
panda of Prince Bismarck is really
scandalous, and our government
should never have tolerated it. The
insults heaped upon Mr. Sargent by
the official press of Germany on ac
count of his alleged newspap r
articles on the hog question, were
only a prelude to an actual proscrip
tion of our minister by Prince Bis
marck. Mr. Sargent is not permitted
by Princ t Bismarck to hold personal
intercourse with him. although his
rank entitles him to it, and is in all
cases referred to Prince BismarcK’s
subordina es. The American minis
t< r actually suffers under this slight
placed upon him to such a degree
cha 1 his position has become very
unpleasant, but he endeavors to hold
on to bij position, because it is his
bread and butter. This is indeed a
bitter lesson to the United States,
which is in the habit of
tii us providing for plaved
ut politici ics. In addition
to other causes for complaint
which our government has regarding
the aotion of Prince Bismarck it has
also to t ke into consideration the
treatment of its diplomatic represen
tative in Berlin. The simple fact that
the latter bad been passed over when
the Lasker resolutions, wnich ne had
presented, was returned, is in itself so
gross an insult that our government
can by no means pass It ovar in si
lence. Our government would be
perfectly justified should it present
an answer to tbe communication
which tbe German minister in Wash
ington may have to make to the
Chancellor of Germany through Mr.
Sargent, thus taking no notlpeof the
German Minister. Should the Chan
cellor then decline to receive the
American Minister our government
would be justified in recalling our
Minister in Berlin and send
ing Mr. Fisendecker his pass
ports. Greatiy as German-Americans
must regret that the sltuatiou has
undergone such a change they must
insist that the government of the
United States will maintain its dig
nity. W< sympathize with the Ger
man people, that tbe rupture bi-tween
the oouotri-s will increase its mis
eries and Its sufferings, but it can
only hold its own government res
ponsible fir it. If the German gov
eromoof, ihough hostile sets against
ou indub'ry, and though gross in
s til’s a-taint i be United S ates is seek
ing to find a pretext to dose Germa
ny against the United States and to
rofa e Germans this harbor of ref
ugeaga nst their misery, the United
States wiil have no other choice but
to t ike up the gauntlet thus insolent
ly thrown down. It the German na
ti n is not able to protect itself
against so incompetent and oppres
sive a gov roinent we cannot, offer
tnem any help.”

A Washington dispatch says: The
stories about Springer’s grasping
ways and greed for money are to be
taken cum grano sali3. They have
only been given as a part of the gos
sip found fl jating around tbe capital.
It is ibe republicans wbo ait- afraid
of Springer, He is a holy terror to
them. He may have the Yankee
knack of being paid for what he does,
but be has the democratic talent of
unearthing republican corruption de
veloped to a wou lerru! degree. He is
like a bloodhound on the track of the
fugitive. With the shade of invest!
gation he turns buried rascalit y to the
sunlight of publicity. If fraud flour
ishes like a green bay tree Springer is
tbe mau to get down under it and lift
it up by the roots, With his little
committee on expenditures iu the de
partment of just'oe. he has sacrificed
the republican from head to foot. He
has shown that the department has
been used as an engine of oppression
against poor people, a device for rob
bing those who had money, and as
the pole and hook for deftly drawing
cash through the crevices in the
treasury vaults. When Springer is
through, his report will make a book
that will memorate a series of frauds
that has no parallel uoder any free

ANOTHER MINE DI3A3TER.
Fifty Miners Almost Certainly Killed.
Pittsburg, Pa., Fnb,2o.— A special
from Connellsville, Pa., says: “This
morning an explosion occurred at the
West Leiaburg shaft, four miles from
here, resulting in a terrible loss of
life. The particulars are meagre, and
nothing definite is known as to what
caused the disaster. The latest re
port received here, at noon, was to
the effect that seventy-live persons
were in the mine at the time of the
explosion, and that twenty-nine are
known to have met their death.
Many dead bodies have already been
taken out of the mine. Twelve per
sons have been rescued, several of
whom are so badly injured that they
will die. Every effort is being made
to get at those who are yet in the
mine and learn the full extent of the
accident. It is thought that at least
fifty out of tne s**venty-flve persons
in the mine are killed or so badly
hurt that they will die.
Prophetic W ords.
Tons of western meat are begin
ning to arrive, and the fact is enough
to make the true lover of his country
weep. To think of the broad and fer
tile acres allowed to go to waste, or
wither with substances foreign to the
soil uodt;r the various guises
of fertilizers, when they might he en
riched with domestic material and
sown with their natural products,the
cereal, potatoes, aud other edibles
for the raising of meat. An abund
ant supply of hrea necessarily fol
lows, and with bread and meat, cotton
becomes a surplus crop and mortga
ges vanish. As it is, and as it will
until our farming SjSttm is radically
changed, the year’s product,
days and days of labor in season
and out of season, goes for a legal
document, or a dozen of them, in the
shape of guano liens, mortgages for
farm supplies, utensils, and whatnot.
And thus it goes on until the future,
the present, indeed, Jlissoives in a
corroboration of that dead and la
mented etateeman and universal
lover of mankind, Alexander H
Stephens, who gave it out as a
prophecy under our system that the
riob would grow richer and the poor
poorer. This fact is apparent, is be
coming more and more so, and to no
one more than the farmer, who is af
ter all is said the stay of the country,
for without agriculture we are not a
people. The soil is the source of our
temporal life’s sustenance, and the
bread winners only invite calamity
upon the country by persisting in
methods so often pointed out to them
and so well known to them from ex
perience as being wrong.

Alien, 515 First Ave. New York City.
This time it is the crew of the
schooner Edward Waite of Portland,
Maine, which arrived at Philadelphia
a few days ago, who fuel absolutely
certain they have becu vouchsafed a
peep at the old and original sea ser
pent. The vision appeared at a point
in the coean between Gapes Henry
aud Hatteras on the 14th instant. As
related by one of the seamen, “the
thing, whatever it was, came nearer
and nearer, as if charging for the ves
sel, and we began to get a little exci
ted. We noticed, also, as it came
within a reasonable distance, that the
thing’s head was raised out of the
water. It came nearer and nearer,
leaving a long, wide wake behind it,
and stirriDg up the water into foam,
like the puddles of a river
steamer. It passed the schooner
within less than 250 vards, aod
we had a full view. We were so
much interested that I forgot to call
the captain, who was below asleep,
but all of the watch saw the thing as
plainly as I can see thefsohooner there
in the next dook. It was a sea ser
pent, and no mistake. We could
only measure its size by the line
made in tbe water, but I should say
that it was fully ninety feet long,
with a head as large and something
like a horse’s head. The most re
markable thing about it was the color
and size of its eyes. They were of a
bright saffron hue and halt as big as
a man’s hand. It held its head above
water all the time we saw it, which
was about half an hour, when it
passed out of sight in a southerly di
rection. We were at the time in lati
tude 35.40, and it was a clear day. We
pould not have been mistaken.”

A Doub'e-Barreled Joke.
1 San Francisco Post
The other evening, round at Mc-
G ivcrn’s saloon, the b iys were put
ting up an elab -rate ptactical joke on
I somebody, and they asked old cap
tain Skiddy, who hadjust happened
in, to take a hand.
“No. geutlemen,” said that estima
ble old citizen, decisively; “you don’t
oatob me taking part in any practi
cal jokes I went out of that busi
ness for good over <eu years ago,”
“How was that?” asked the group
of beer exterminators.
“Well, it was in the winter ol? 70—
maybe ’71,1 was living in Davenport,
lowa, and a man came 'round t.nere
giving balloon ascensions. One day
it was advertised that, the mayor of
the town was going up with
him. Now the mayor was
a big fat mao, who always wore
a light suit of clothes and
a white hat. This put mo in the no
tion of working on a joke on the peo
ple. I got acquainted with tne rero
u-iut and he agreed to assist me in the
scheme. We then got an old suit of
light, clothes and fixed up a dummy,
which we tilled with sand, .so that it
weighed about 200, and would, there
fore, drop straight and heavy, t. ea
man. The d»y of the ascension theV
were over 50,000 people on the ground
and the excitement was very great,
as there was a slight wind blowing
at tbe time. After the balloon got
up about a mile, and maybe that far
south of the town, they dropp'd the
dummy over.”
“Big sensation, then, eh?”
“We!! I should say so. But that’s
just where I lost my grip, While the
crowd was shouting iad going wild
with horror, I just laid down on the
ground, rolled over and laughed until
I was sick.”
“Should think the crowd would
have taken a tumble, too,” suggested
the audience.
“But just wait. Os course the
crowd made a break out of town to
scrape up the remains, and I rushed
home to get my fishing tackle, for it
struck me that the most healthy
thing I could do would be to go fish
ing for a day or two. Before I left
the house, however, I was arrested
for murder.”
“For murder?”
“Exactly. A lot of boys accompa
nied by the sheriff, rushed in and col
lared me. They claimed that the
dummy had fallen on a farmer and
driven his skull clear into the heels
of his boots They said that the bal
loonatic had turned state’s evidence
and the cnanoes were that I’d be
hung by a mob before night.”
“That was rough.”
"Well, so I thought. I was just
scared plum to death, and I begged
the boys to stand by and protect me.
I ponied up SSO for legal expenses
and they hid me ia the garret of a
neighbor’s house. They k9pt me
there ten blessed days, and there
wasn’t a day but they struck me tor a
twenty or two for contingencies. One
night the whole gang came around
full of beer—on my money, mind you
—and said that they had concluded,
as an additional precaution, to hide
me in the hollow of an oak tree
about three miles out in the woods. I
saw through the whole thing then
and drove ’em out with a club. It
was a good square esse of the bit -r
bit, 1 know, but they never let up
calling me ‘Dummy Bkiddy’ after
that, until they actually run me out
of the town, and I had to emigrate
to this jumping off placeof creation,”
and the c lp’ftlu shook his head with
a disgusted air as he paid for his hot
Scotch and walked out.
Parent’s Love.
Christian Index.
in one of the pities bordering close
to New York there occurred the fol
lowing incident.
Oue day a man was seen dnying a
horse, which seemed determined to
bieak from hi- hand. It plunged and
reared and at ieugtn started to run.
The driver at first wrapped the reins
around his wrists in his efforts to
doid the fractious animal.
‘Lit him go! Lot nim go 1” cried
the bystanders; “you can’t hold him 1
Lit him go 1 Way don’t y u let him
go?”
The driver never heeded these
cries ;be held on with all his strength ;
and as a 1 *.st resort, wound the reins
around his neck, Great efforts were
made, and after a time the horse was
caught, but not till the blood was
gushing from the nose and mouth of
the man, who strove so hard to hold
him.
A crowd gathered around the poor
man. and he was asked, “wiiy didn’t
you let him go? Your life is worth a
hundred such horses.”
"Look at the back of that wagon,”
said he. “Do you see that little boy?
That’s all the little boy we have. I
couldn’t go home to bis mother with
out that little boy, and for him I held
the horse to the danger of my own
life.”
Ah, children there was the father’s
love displayed; rather than have his
little son hurt, he ran a most fearful
risk, but counted his life us little
worth if he might save his boy.
"Like as the father pitleth hiß
children, bo the Lord pi ieth them
that fear Him,” saith the word of
God; and just as you go to your
father, little ones, knowing that he
loves you, and is ready to grant your
requests, if they are such as should
be granted, bo may you go to the lov
ing, pitying, heavenly Father, and
ask for help in your need. He will
hear and answer if you ask for Jesus’
sake.
Two of Jesus’ disciples. James and
John, the sons of Zabedee, were one
day brought to Jesus by their moth
er, who said unto the Saviour, “Grant
that these my two sons may ait, the
one on Thy right hand and the other
on Thy left, in Thy kingdom.”
Ah, here was the mother’s love dis
played—she asks nothing for herself,
but great things for her two sons.
They were her jewels and in them
was her love centered.
Prize your mother, boys and girls;
no other love on earth is equal to
hers think lightly of father
or mother; let God be first, but pa
rents second in your love, always re
membering their love for you is like
a deep mine, whose wealth is past
measuring.

New Column For the Ducal Palace.
Pall Mail Gazette .
The great sustaining column and
capital at the corner of the Ducal
Palace at Yeuioe, wbien has recently
| been uncovered, is probably best
i known by the name that Mr. Ruskin
j has it, of the fig tree corner.
I The main aDgle of the paluce, the
| angle toward the Piazzetta and the
! Mole, rests upon the column and
capital; and in order to remove the
old masonry, which was si id to be
so cracked as to be unsafe, ami to
insert the new, it wss necessary to
suspend the whole of the palace at
that corner upon a scaffolding of
imams. This difficult task has been
successfully accomplished. The new
column is a magnificent monolith of
Istrian stone, rather warmer in col
or then the -majority of stone
they are using in the res
torations, and it is to be hoped
that it will the sooner tone into har
mony with the rest of the building:
On comparing the old capital with
the new, the undercutting of the new
is even more remarkable than that of
the old; but the acanthus leaves,
which are the glory of the capital,
seem to have lost that crisp and nat
ural curl which gave such distinction
to the aoeientwork; while the faces
of the figures that signify the planet
ary powers are excessively fined
away, so that they miss that rough
strength and individuality which be
long to their antique models. On
the whole the new capital, granting
that the old one had to be removed
as dangerous, is a meritorious sub
stitute; but it can never take the
exalted rank of its oiigiDal, which
Mr. Ruskin has pronounced “the
finest I know in Europe.” The curi
ous insciiptions have been accurately
aud literally copied from the oid cap
ital to the new, and it is clear that.
Mr. Ruskin has misread several
points, though the meaning in many
oases remains obscure.

One morning a car driver started

Opposite Opinions about a Wonderful
Woman-Ber Thumb and Fingers.
“Cracii nuts with her Ungers? Why, you can’t
mean itl” cried a 5 ouug lady graduate of the
Normal College, in the utmost astonishment.
“But I do mean it.” affirmed her big brother,
who had taken several prizes in athletics, “and
I reassert it; that (Jymbur,a, wife of Duke
Erneet, of Austria, could crack nuts with her
lingers and drive nalis into the wall with her
thumb.” “What a monstrous woman!” said
the young lady. “What a useful woman,” said
her big brother.

Mrs. Alice Stroug, of Pittsbnrg, Pa., writes a
different story ;sbout herself, but deserves
praise for her irankm SB. She says: “For the
past three years I have been subject to severe
attacks or colic ana cramps, and exhausting at
tacks of Diarri?»a c Weary of experimenting
with medicines, I turned, without hope, to
PARKER’S TONIO. Three bottles cured me
entirely. I have tried it also for other ailments
with which women are often afflicted, and it
far surpassed my expectations lam happy to
offer this t.eatimony for the benefit of other
women.”

letter, will please remark that PARKEB’S TON
IC is not intoxicant. It cures colic easily, but
by virtue c f many rare and powerful ingredi
ents, it also m&sterß all diseases of the 8100d —
such, for example, as Rheumatism, Consump

Liver and stomach It is a vitalizer and stim
