BISMAKCK'S WIFE.
The Cause of Many of the Iron
Chancellor's Troubles.
Although But Little Known to the Ont
slde Worl.l the rrlnoess la a Power
Amoug German Noblesller An
tipathy for the Emperor.
Bismarck's sorrows are crowding hard
upon him. These last years of his life
are not happy ones.
What few people know is that Prin
cess llismarek is in reality respon
sible for many of his miKfortunes. The
outside world is almost unconscious that
she exists, for she keeps in the back
ground, but when she does speak she is
likely to show little of that diplomacy
which has made hef husband famous,
says the New York Press. On one occa
sion when she abandoned her habitual
reserve, although she startled her
hearers, she revealed herself as the
counselor of her husband and as a wom
an of extraordinary strength of mind
and daring.
The occasion will be -.veil remem
bered indeed it can never be forgotten
by those who were privileged to be
the guests of the prince at his official
farewell reception. There were pres
ent several members of the cabinet
(among them poor Von liolticher, who
had been forced to act all along as
buffer between emperor and chancellor
and who not seldom got abused on both
sides,) the whole staff of the foreign
office and a large number of dignitaries
of state.
Bismarck was unsually silent and
apparently in a mood of grief rather
than resentment. The princess, on the
other hand, was almost beside herself
with rage. She exclaimed in a loud
voice: "It was I who advised my hus
band to bear no longer with the em
peror's petty interferences in matters
which he does not understand. But to
accept my husband's resignation was an
act of infamy which the knave shall re
pent to me. He shall recall my hus
band on his knees. To dare to treat
Germany's greatest man like that! Woe
upon him!"
The word translated for want of bet
ter interpretation with knave was
"Bube," the most offensive term in the
German language if applied in the
sense of anger to a man, and the threat
against the emperor was conveyed by
the following words: "Das sol mir der
Bube bussen."
There was a moment of awful silence
and then followed a stampede led by
the ministers, who rushed out of the
palace as if a pestilence were tipon
them, and in an incredibly short time
the Bismarck family found themselves
alone in the brilliantly lighted saloons.
I do not believe anybody has dared
to repeat the princess' dreadful words
of import to the emperor, though,
no doubt, the fact of something
very shocking having been said
by the princess was probably re
ported to his majesty. When people
talk of the mere possibility of a recon
ciliation between the emperor and Bis
marck they are ignorant of the condi
tions under which they parted.
Many men have, after all, been more
unfortunate than Bismarck. He has
been well paid; no statesman ever bet
ter. He has been raised from the ob
scurity of a Pomeranian "krautjunker"
with an incumbered estate and only
enough worldly possessions to eke out
a bare living to the dignity of a prince
of the empire and the duke of Lauen
burg, endowed with a magnificent estate
In the Sachsenwaltl. the ancestral estate
of Schonhausen, purchased for him by
the nation, and the estate of Varzin,
clear of mortgages. To put it in plain
figures, Prince Bismarck enjoys now a
competency closely estimated at fifty
thousand pounds a year, and, better
than all, he is still the idol of a large
part of Germany's population.
COYOTES HUNTING.
Relieving Each Other In the Chase After
Fleet-rooted Jack Itubblt.
"Did you ever see a pack of coyote?
a-rustlin' for grub?" asked an old Cali
fornia miner of a reporter recently.
"I've lived on the desert for nigh onto
thirty years," he resumed, "and seed
many a queer sight, but coyotes a
rustlin' for grub beats them all. Them
animals are as well trained as any
body of soldiers ever wasunderGineral
(irant. They elect a captain, whether
by drawing straws or by ballot I don't
recollect off-hand. Just at daylight a
reveille calls the pack together and
they come yelpin' and howlin' over the
desert like a lot of things possessed,
their appetites sharpener! by the crisp
ir and eager for their reg lar diet of
jerked rabbit meat. The avant cour
iers sniff around among the sagebrush
and grease wood, while the rest of the
band form into a big circle, sometimes
spreadin' out on the plain over a radius
of two or three miles. The couriers
head a jack-rabbit in the circle and
the coyote nearest takes up the chase.
'You know a jack rabbit can run ten
times faster than a coyote, and when
the one in pursuit gets tuckered out
the next one takes up the chase, and
so on till the jack falls down dead from
exhaustion. Then the whole pack leap
onto him, their jaws snappin' like
hcepblades in shearin' time. Then
when the jack is disposed of another
reville is sounded and the pack again
form into a circle, and the circus is
kept up until every one of the yelpin',
yeller devils has satisfied his appetite,
sometimes killin' hundreds of jacks
and cottontails fur one meal, fur a
coyote can eat a jack as big as himself
and then looks as if he was clean
starved to death. I was clean through
the late unpleasantness with Oineral
Grant and I know what scientific gen-
oralin' is, and them coyotes know as
much as any soldiers that ever lived
about anny tactics. The commander
in chief is usually the oldest coyote in
the pack, and he sits on a knoll where
he can give orders to his lieutenants
aud aids, and what they don't know
about ambuscades, maneuverin' and
field tactics ginerally ain't worth
knowin'."

'IT'S DE GUVNOR.1
Experience of the Massachusetts Execu

All the personal habits of William
Eustis Kussell, the young governor of
Massachusetts, are characterized by
their simplicity anil freedom from con
ventionality. He apparently takes the
same pleasure in grasping the hand of
the lowliest hod-carrier as in talking
state finance with the president of the
biggest bank in Boston. As governor
he goes to the balls of various social or
ganizations, looks on for a half hour,
chats with the floor director and the
chairman of the committee on arrange
ments and then goes away to do the
same thing at another. lie received in
one year during his present term of of

balls, banquets, charity fair openings,

was. 1 1 is dress was not at all reassur
ing to the oilirers, for he wore a soft
slouch hat and a light-colored spring
overcoat, which was too small for him.
The want of elegant apparel may ac
count for the rough reception which
followed.
He had just found a dry spot on the
sidewalk to watch the progress of the
fire when a policeman, who saw him
from the opposite side of the street,
rujihed across, and, without a word of
explanation seized the guvernor by the
arm.
"Here! here!' he said, "outside the
lines! outside the lines! You haven't
any badges."
There was a moment of suspense in
the ranks of the governor's friends, and
while the youngest was trying to reach
the policeman and inform him whom he
was pushing the governor turned and
looked at the ollicer, and a little news
boy called out: "It'sde guv'nor!" The

Photography Reveals Unknown
Objects on the Planet
Interesting Discoveries Made br Astron
omers Through the Use of th.
Telescope Lunar Crater,
and Chasms.
Astronomical photography has ac
complished many wonderful results,
but nothing perhaps more surprising
than its discoveries upon the moon, says
the New York Sun. The moon is so
near by and has been so carefully
studied with the most powerful tele
scopes for hundreds of years that the
astronomers had come to think that
they knew pretty much all about it, or
at least about that face of the moon
which is turned toward the earth. But
it turns out that photography possesses
the power to reveal things upon the
moon which cannot be seen by the eye
even with the aid of the best of tele
scopes. A careful study of the nega
tives of the moon made with the aid of
the great Lick telescope has revealed
the existence of many unknown objects
there, including great crater mountains
and rifts or chasms in the surface of the
moon, as well as some of those myste
rious objects which go under the de
scriptive name of bright streaks or rays.
Near the great crater which we call
Copernicus another crater of nearly
equal dimensions is shown upon the
negatives, although it is absent from
the most elaborate maps of the moon,
and cannot be seen even with the Lick
telescope, except when the magic eye
of the camera, instead rf the human
retina, is applied to look for it. When
It is considered that this mysterious
crater represents the remains of a
mountain ring more than fifty miles in
diameter it appears exceedingly strange
that it Bhould escape detection by the
telescope when directed to the moon,
and yet be visible upon a photograph of
the moon. The reason appears to be
that the walls of this newly discovered
crater were long ago destroyed, being
razed by Bome denuding force nearly to
the level of the surrounding surface. It
Is, consequently, but the remnant of a
?reat crater ring. Even in that condi
tion, however, it would be visible to the
eye but for the fact that its huge neigh
bor, Copernicus, whose walls are still
standing to a great height, is surrounded
by enormous masses of luminous ma
terial, which looks like lava, that must
have overflowed the surrounding coun
try ages ago, and reflects back the light
of the sun to our eyes with overpowering
brilliancy. The glare of this broad re
flecting surface, covering hundreds of
square miles, is so great as to conceal
the comparatively low relief of the
broken crater ring.
In fact, it is not improbable that
Copernicus is responsible for the disap
pearance of the other great crater, I
winch doubtless was the predecessor of
Copernicus, and once towered up to an
equal height above the Burroundlng
plains. After it had ceased to be an
active volcano, and Copernicus had
burst forth, the latter probably over
whelmed it with torrents of lava, which,
filling up the Bpace within its broken
walls nearly to the level of their tops,
submerged it, so to speak, beneath the
new surface thus formed, so that only
the summit of its broken walls remains
to be caught by the acute vision of the
photographic plate.
In other parts of the moon similar
events appear to have taken place, and
there are a number of large craters,
enormously greater than any volcanic
craters upon the earth, which seem to
have been buried by the outburst of
lava from subsequently-formed vol
canoes in their neighborhood, so that
only portions of their mountain walls
now remain visible.
Another discovery, also arising from
inspection of the negatives made with
the Lick telescope, relates to the won
derful system of bright rays surround
ing the most perfect crater in the moon,
Tycho. This extinct volcano is some
fifty-four miles in diameter, and is sur
rounded on the outer side of its lofty
walls by a comparatively level region,
some twenty-live miles broad, of amuch
darker hue than that of the crater it
self, or of the surrounding country be
yond. The hundreds of great streaks
which radiate from Tycho like the
spokes of a wheel, varying in width
from ten to twenty or thirty miles, and
in length from a few miles to nearly
two thousand miles, having al
ways appeared, when viewed with a
telescope nhme. to take their rise from

SOUND PHILOSOPHY.
How to IHake Marrletl Life an Existence
of l'eaee and Happiness.
The first year of married life is a
most important era in tho history of
man and wife. Generally, as it is spent,
so is almost all subsequent existence.
Tho wifo and the husband then assimi
late thoir views and their desires, or
else, conjuring up their dislikes, they
add fuel to thoir prejudices and animos
ities forever afterwards.
"I have somewhere vend," says Rev.
Mr. Wise, in his Bridal Greetings, "of
a bridegroom who glorlf il in his eccen
tricities. Ho requested his bride to ac
company him into the ga'-'len a day or
two after their wedding. l!o then drew
a line over the roof of their cottage,
living his wife one end of it he re
treated to the other side, and ex
claimed: '"Pull tho line!'
"She pulled it at his request, so far as
he could. He cried:
" 'Pull it over!'
" 'I can't,' she replied.
"But pull with all your might!' iUu
ihouted the whimsical husband.
"But vain were all the efforts of
the bride to pull over the line so long as
her husband held the opposite end. But
when he came round, and they pulled at
tho same end, it came over with great
ease.
" 'Thorel' as tho line fell from tho
roof, 'you see how hard and ineffectual
was our labor when we both pulled in
opposition to each other; but how easy
and ploasant it was whon we both pulled
togethor! It will bo so with us through
life!'"
In this illustration, homely as it ma;
be, there is a sound philosophy. Hus
band and wife must mutually bear and
concede if they wish to make home a
retreat of joy and bliss. One alone can
not make home happy. There noeds
unison of action, sweetness of spirit and
great forbearance and love in both hus
band and wife to secure the great end
of happiness in the domestic circle
Home is no unmixed paradise of sweets;
the elements of peace and true happi
ness are there, and so, too, are the elo
ments of discord and misery; and it
needs only tho bitter spirit of the world
without to make it a pandemonium, or
tho loving genius of harmony to make
it tho prompter of every affectionate im
julse. - ' The Multnn'x MUtuke.
Everybody knows that the Emperor
William is German to the finger-tips
and that his patriotism will not permit
him to allow Krencli to appear even
upon his bill of fare. The sultan is
nothing if not polite, and when William
was his guest a few weeks ago was ex
tremely careful that all his prejudices
should be most scrupulously respected.
With this hospitable end in view he
ordered that William should be
served with German champagne
only and is mortified now to know
that this delietite attention wa
not appreciated as it ouht to have
been. The emperor it is understood
has a weakness for champagne anc
does not trouble himself about its na
tionality so long ns the flavor is al
right. On this pohit his patriotism ii

The 1'rollt on the Nickel.
There has boon a good deal said, and
properly, about the profit made by tht
Government in coining dollars out of 71
cents' worth of silver, more or loss. But
how about tho nickol 5-cont pieces? It
is said that those pretty coins cost the
United States just about a third of a
of.nt each, and are issued for 5 cents, or
11 'teen times their value a profit of
about 1,400 per cent Made up on that
ratio tho silver dollar would contain be
tween 7 and 8 cents' worth of silvor,
