There will appear in, the Medical Record. which has given the subject of the kite Emperor William’s and the present German Eui|«'ror'« illness more than ordinary attention, an accouut of Crown l’rince William and the causes to which are due his crippled anil. It will go far toward disabus ing people of the belief that l’rince William is fflai"ted with any disease of a scrofulous nature, reports to that effect having recently been scut to English and American papers from Berlin. The authority for the Record is a physician who attended the Gym nasium with Crown l’rince William, and Dr. Sb rady says his information is entirely trustworthy. The story is as follows: “The present difficulty of the Crown Prince William dates from his birth, when a fracture of the left arm oc curred, which resulted iu that member being about two iuches shorter than the other, and has given rise to the storie« ot his being afflicted with scro- tela. —... “Prior to the birth of her child, Em press Victoria, the then Crown Prin cess, was seriously ill, and her mother, (jhieeti Victoria, dispatched from Lon don two English obstetricians to at tend her. Tlie physicians found them selves uuable to cope wilb the diffi culty that presented itself, and then arrived the necessity for a consulta tion. A messenger was dispatched for Professr Martiu, the elder, since dead, who at that time was high iu the circles of the court and president of one of the universities. Piqued at the introduction of the Englishmen in the ease to the exclusion of those of tin- Fatherland, the emtn"nt scientist re turned this answer: ‘If I was not able to attend to the Crown Princess in the first place. 1 am not able t i do it now.' "Informed of this brusque reply of Professor Martin, Emperor William, at that time King of Prussia, issued nn imperial edict ordering the obdu rate physician to attend the Crown Princess. Such a summons bad to be obeyed. Professor Martin went to tlie palace. He was conducted into the presence of tlie Crown Princess, where were the two English obstetricians. Saluting the Crown Prince, who was in tbo apartment, the German physi- ciau silently gave his attention to the royal mother, overcame the difficulty that had puzzled the Loudon doctors, placed the new-born infant iu the arms of a nttrsa, bowed stiffly to the two professional gentlemen from Euglaml aud retired from the apartment with out uttering a word." "Here was the spectacle ot^a proud scientific man who would not unbend for royalty. He had performed his duty, in ti taciturn manner it is true. a The Longest Tuuuel in the World. Au engineering work that has taken over a century to construct can hardly fail to offer some pointe of interest m its history, and illustrates the march of events, during the years of its pro greets. An instauceof this kind is to be found in a tunnel not long since completed but which was commenced over one hundred years ago. This tunnel, or adit, as it should be more strictly termed, is at Sc.hemmtz, in Hungary. Its const met ion wua agreed U|M»n id 1782, the object being to carry off the water from the Schemnitz mini's to the lowest part of the Gran Valley. The work is now complete, aud forms the longest tunnel in the world, being 10.27 miles long or alxmt one mile longer than St. Gothard, and -l2 miles longer than Mount Cenis. The height is t) feet 10 inches, and the breadth 5 feet 3 inches. The tunnel, which has taken so long in making, has cost very nearly a million sterling, but it appeare to have been well spent, at least, the present generation has no ri-asou to grumble, for the saving from being abl" to do away with water raising appliances amounts to £15.- 000 a year. There is one further ]>oint, how ever. worth notice, for if we have the advantage of our great-grand-fathers in the matter of mechanical a;>pliances they certainly were better off in the price of labor. The original contract for the tunnel, made in 1782, was that it should l>e completed in thirty years and should cost £7 per yard run. For eleven years the work was done at this price, but the Freuch revolution enhanced the cost of lalxir aud mater ials to such an exteut that for thirty years little progress was made. For ten years following much pro gress was made, aud then the work droppeil for twenty years more until the water threateutMl to drown the miui s altogether. Finally the tuuuel was completed in 1878, the remaining part costing £22 a yard, or more than three times as much as the original contract rate. An Ancient Ship Railway. Long before the days of Eads, or even of steam and railroads, the feasi bility of the laud transport of vessels was demonstrated by a Venetian engi neer named Sorliolo. In 1431*. as late ly stated to the Philadelphia Engi neer's Club by Mr. E. L. Cortbell, n fleet of some thirty armed and pro visioned vessels was taken overland from the Adige to lake Garda, to re lieve the liesieged city of BreHcia. The vessels were placed on i-radles and pulli-d from the water, HIM) oxen Ix-ing required to bring the largi-st to level ground. Tin' fleet was drawn in an in.pis-ing procession across the plain for thirty mill's, then lifted tip Mount 1’iueila iind lowered on the other side by windlas»'s and finally hantal twelve unit's to the lake. One vessel was dostroyisl but the others, as well as a ««xiipd fleet a year later made the passage ill safety. The largest of the vessels were nearly 150 feet long, and 40 feet wide. t Boy Briilfgroom. Hirscli Geiger. 15 year« ol<l. was ae- cuwh I mtlie lissex Market Court.

Some political farmers are trying to prove that the tariff has nothing to do with the price ef wool. A large rep resentation of the wool growers of the west and southwest, assembled at St. Louis last spring, without regard to party, and talking for their own plain interests, agreed that the reduction of tariff had ruiued the sheep industry in all states where laud was high priced. There was no question raised to the contrary, but the unanimous and har monious scntimi'nt was iu favor of re storing the tariff to sustain the busi ness of raising sheep aud wool through out the United Sta’es. The decrease of sheep in number was 6,060,000. The state of Ohio suffered a great loss aud reduction of flocks came as a nat ural consequence. The figures given by wool dealers in Portland show what the result of the tariff tinkering of 1883 was. Before unil up to that year, dealers paid a price for wool that was 20 per cent higher than the price paid since then. I Th« pruwä Laie.grudualb ■ulv1.n.».«i ¿ . a ijrfli flaring thelasf iew yearFi titif’ the reduction was very heavy in 1884 and 1885. The political sophistician always puts bis own construction on facta, aud to prove black is white in *ho cause is his part; but the fact remains that wool had uveragvd a sufficient price to make wool growing a profitable industry, when suddenly prices lowered, ami the business be came unprofitable iu many states. Before that the world complained of over production of manufactured goods far more than since then. If that cause would affi-ct markets it would have pulltMl the price of wool down lie- fore 1883, but the price was fairly sus tained uutil reduction of the tariff made it possible to import wool at a lower figure than it had cost. It.there fore, fell to the figure represented by the lessening of the tanff. Can any man stand up in the face of a sensible audience of wool growers and pretend that any cause but “tariff tinkering" caused the decline lti wool? If he can he has brazen audacity, or else hap a lack of good common sense. [Ore gonian. EDITORIAL SOTES Partisanship will not influence the Examiner in the local campaign to the smallest degree.
