lean doing since his grand father's death. Assisting his father in formn lating his righteous schemes. No. He has been wandering to and fro upon the face of the earth, a restless, strife-engendering spirit, breathing out threateniogs and slaughter a;a : nst the two great empires of Europe—Great Britain and Russia. To the former :s he especially hostile, in spite of the fact that his Imperial mother is an English woman. He has, in brief, striven to counteract all the pacific tendencies of his father, and add to the burdens of his already overburdened people. Will the German people tolerate further bloodshed and consequentgrie. ■vous taxation to satisfy the ambition of this headstrong, disgruntled youth? We trow it. The Feeds of anarchy and socialism are unhappily alread/ deeply planted in German soil, and any high handed dealing on the part of the young Emperor will rapidly in crease their growth—so rapidly, per chance, that in a very few years Gtr man unification will have become a thing of the past, and the Empire’s d* Btroction will have been the work of its i wn household. The situation is sad to contemplate A monarch lying cold in death, and a huge empire mourning the loss of an eoligh'ened, libetal, peace-loving rul ei; while all soars the ehadow of a blood-thirsty, unscrupulous youth in whose devastating wake follow anar cby, death and destruction. Lit us hope, however, that the picture is over drawn --[Banner Watchman. ‘•Bear ’ Steaks l Hore Flesh. I don’t know whether or not horse flesh has ever been Slid here in Bos ou for food, but l am sure that it hag I teen cooked and eaten, Sometime ago Reading ‘‘vet,” who is, l believe, au advocate of this U6e ot horseflesh, i.i *vited several persons of his acquaint ance, somewhat noted as gouiracs, to join him in a little supper of bear steaks at one ot our betels. He repre gented that the bear had been shot in Maine and sent to him as a present The fact was, however, that the dishes which be set before his guests were composed of horse meat—a plump young nag, belonging to a frieud of his, hav ing broken a leg, so that it became necessary to kill him, thus furnishing material for the feast. All who were present at it enjoyed it very much, and considered that the steaks and other forms of supposed bear’s meat provid ed for them were excellent and as good as beef or lamb. Not till the last dish had been lemoved did the “vet" enlighten his guesta as to the real nature of their entertainment, and when he did so their after dinner tran quility was not a little disturbed. Most of them turned pale, a few were angry, and one or two cool and hardy spirits wera only amased. Almost all of them, bowser, deolared upon reflec tion that they were converts to the theory which they had unwittingly put into practice; but nevertheless, I doubt | very much if a single one of the party would aceept another invitation from qhat •‘vet" without a guarantee as to i (he character of the viands of which |hey were invited to partake. [Boston I'ost. A Diamond in her Tooth. About a year ago it becatna fashion able in Now York for yonng ladies to have diamond sets in their teeth, which sparkled respleudently whenever they smiled. The fashion grew in populari ty, and was adopted in others of the largo citie, but until recently the ix travagant habit did not reach L( uL ville. Now, however, there is a yoor g lady who can be seen promenading Fourth avenne almost any afternoon, her reel, ripe lips parted with a 6W;*et smile. At the point of one of her up per front teeth sparkles a brillian* iii tie stone, which is the occasion of the over pleased mood of its fair owner. The young lady, who is the daughfet of a banker, recently returned from a visit to New York, and whie th“ e “caught on” to the craze. She has numerous rare and costly stones, but it is safe to say that none nor all of them give their fair owner half the pleasure extracted from thedimimt ve gem imbedded in her pearly front teeth The case mentioned is probably ihe on ly one of the kind in Lour ville [0 u rier Journal. * What it Goals to Stop a Tram. It is no* generally known that 1 of power is involved in the starting and stopping of an ordinary train ot cats. There is required about twice as much power to stop a train as to start one, the l<’?s of power depending upon the momentum.
