The emperor nnd crnprens, accotnj)anie(l by I)ovage Kin jresn Augustn, the grantl duke and grand duchcHs of Baden, and other royalties visited Japer gallery this morning, while they were assembled around the bier of the dead monarch, Chaplain Keeglef offered a brief prayer. The post mortem examination was confined to the examination of the neck, larynx and lungs. In the larynx, which was found to have been destroyed by suppuration, was a larife cavity. Dr. MacKen.ie states in his report that the disease was beyond doubt cancer of the larynx. He adds that the diagnosis was rendered very dif ficult, as the disease attacked the car tilage of the larynx at the outset and afterwards developed chiefly in the lower part of the cartilage. The National Zeituntj says that the antopsy proved th.it the larynx was completely destroyed by the cancer, and that putrid bronchitis existed. There was nlso inflamation of the finer rauiifiicatioDs of the bronchial tubes, into which the peltrescent particles had entered. Tho whole larynx, as in a state of suppuration and presented n soft, lumpy mass, with scarcely any trace of the artilaginous structure remaining. The choking sensation from which the emperor suffered during his last days, which was attributed tQ tl;c perferatiou of the wall separating the trachea nnd oesophagus, appears to haye been really due to collapse of the larynx, owing to the destruction of the cartilage. The direct cause of death is given as paraly sis of the lumjs. An imperial decree summons the Reich stag to meet the 25th. All the churches were crowded today. The service in the cathedral was attended by Dr. Von Cjossler, minister of ecclesias tical affairs, and many other high officials. The service opened with the signing of the Sith psalm. The Litany was read by Chaplain Schroeder, who also preached the sermon. Tomorrow the church bells will toll from 9 a. m.'until the funeral procession enters tho friedcrich's kirr.lje, and again after the faring of an artillery salute. General Von hlumenthal will be imperial standard bcarei1, and will be supported by Geuerals Misehke and Winterfield. The coffin will be removed from the catafalque by twelve officers of the body guard, and borne to the funeral cur, pre ceded by the court chanjberlin,. A TOUGH KANSAS COUNTY. A Nesro Tarred and PeatUerod.-A Lynching Irninent, Jetmohe, Kan., June 18. Tuesday night a negro was taken from his home in the southeast part of this, Hodgeman, county a mile or more into the country by some ten or a dozen white men who proceeded to treat hln tq a full and un stinted cpat of tar r,nd feathers.. John and Mike Gleason were arrested and brought to this city Saturday night upon the charge of having participated in the mob. It is claimed that the negro was a notorious thief aud a neighbor hood pilferer The most intense excitement still pre vails in this city and the entire east half of the county over the killing of Thomas Andrews by John Studtbaker. Every night for more than a week a mob of more than 100 men from the neighbor hood of the killing haa been expected in Jetmore, determined on lynching Stude- baker. Sheriff Gil land is determined to protect him at all hazards, and last night some 200 citizens gathered at the court house in this city and expressed them selves as fully determined to stand by the sheriff in protecting the prisoner from mob violence. It looks now as though more blood would be shed be fore the trouble nds. Those who know most about the fact3 rn the casa are divided in opinion ns to the degree of Studebakcr's guilt, as it is believed by some that he is insane, while justification is claimed by others. Some forty of the best citizens armed with Winchester rifles and shot guns, guarded over the jail all Saturday night. The same number will be on mi o ftl night.

One of the very best anecdotes of Daniel Webster as illustrative of that exalted and exalting character which bis mind pre em ineutly poaseused was told by the late St Oeorge Tucker Campbell, of Philadelphia himself a lawyer of great and deserved dis tinctlon. Mr Tucker said that having been re tallied In a nomewhat famous case at th time with Mr Webster, wbo was detained tij his senatorial duties at Washington, the con duct of the case through all the preliminaries devolved upon him, it beiu agreed that Mi Webster should deliver the i-ltming urgumi-itt 'llut, said Mr. Tucker, "day after day wen' oy without bringing the great expounder until the very last day before tbnt on wliici tl)t closing argument was tc be delivered Hiitl I was in despair. I won sitting in m room at the hotel, debating with mysel: Abut to do. when Mr Webster was an uouueetL After the little civilities Lu. pa.ssed be asked me to tell him about tli. case. - 'Why. Mr. Webster." said I, 'is it possibl. you know nothing of the caser 'Nothing whatever.' said be. 'Tell rm about it." "I was utterly dumfounded, and, p.oiiit nig to a pile of testimony a foot deep on the table, 1 said: 'Bow am 1 to convey all that to you in the little time that is left us "He said: 'Oh, never mind detail Give me the case genera! and the salient points.' "lie sat down at the table opposite me, and t gave bim a rapid synopsis of tho case, which took two hours and mora One point I especially called to his attention. The oj posing counsel were bent an pcqriiig a con ti nuance of the case. whJle oiir interests do manded an Immediate decision. As a reason against granting the continuance J cited the fact that the other side had protracted t he crotH-examinatiou exec-ti vely. occupying six days ic the case of one witness "Mr Webster bade me good night after I had concluded, aud went to bed. The next morning be came into court as serene anr majestic as Jove himself, while 1 was nerv ous and apprehensive to the kj.it legre.a 11. began bis adrir.gKs tt the iXwt w.th Uat slow ponders gtvity that was so charartoristi. of bim In the outset of his ftiroimie elforts then gradually wapiutnl and auickeiKiL I listeiiixl elHoiiii.l, for in esscnee it a- nothing but what I bar! pniiiel into bim u the twr hours and a half talk of the dav I- foro.

Some weeks after returning tf the for Hen. Kmery, wbo vas ia eoiiiii.aii.l nf tli. listriet, ordered me to make a nn:t a.-- f:i iver as Frenchman's Fork, eighty mile an a I sua r ted alone, lending Joe for my w:u n.ir ird for a run home if jumped by the n il iioys. 1 struck the Fork in the night, an;, 'hiding a quiet little place in the tiend ol th. river. I campeL At the break tit day I limbed a tall tree near by to take a look u, ind down the river I had diintied aUu hirt feet, when I saw several streaks o due snioko ri?ing up Uipougb the tree not a half mile away I slid out o that tree mighty quickly, and. runtiiiii ip to Joo, soon bad bim saddled. 1 bad U find out the size of that village, howevei , oi. nake ni) report to the general 1 tied Jje t. i tree and crept up a high hill, from the t f which 1 bad a good view of it. Then, with ill of the information I wanted. I started foi Joe, when 1 espied a band of Indians coming up the ravine in which Joe was tied. They were not a mile away, but had not discovered me. The grass didn't grow under my feet hile 1 was getting dowu the hill to Joe, and we wero soon making lively tracks cut ot that ravine. The Indians came on quietly until they came to the tree to which Job had been tied. Then they saw the fresh trail running up the ravine. In a second they were after ma There were about forty of them out on a buffalo bunt and mounted on their best horses. 1 had no time to go after the horse which 1 had tied further oflC 1 would soon have tc leave the ravine and get out on the level prairie, which stretched away for miles, and where 1 could be easily seen. When 1 got out on the level ground I pat Joe to his best 1 kept looking back and when 1 was about a mile and a half out on the prairie the In diana came in sight. They saw me at once and on tbey cama, I knew it was to be a long race, for 1 was fifty miles from any white man. The Indians never got any closer to me than they were when tbey started, but they would not give up, thinking that my horse would surely give out. But they were mistaken, Joe held his own. They chased me within about ten miles of the fort before tbey gave up. 1 bad run Joe at least forty miles with hardly a stop. 1 thought the run would kill him, but two days afterward when the troops were ready to go after the Indians Joe was ready to go also. When we got back to the Frenchman the Indian village was gone. 1 went where 1 bad left the horse tied to the tree some days before. 1 expected the In dians bad found him, but they bad not. The poor brute was there and nearly dead for water. He had eaten everything i his reach, but could not break the strong rope to get to water. He got well, however, and 1 rode bim hundreds of miles afterwards. Buffalo Bill's lttar. fault of Amvriran Workmen This is one great fault of American work men, and the reason why there are so many "average men." When day's work Is done, instead of taking a mechanical paper and sitting down at their own homes, to im prove their minds and keep posted on wbat is going on in the great world around them, they reason something after this fashion: "We poor laboring meu have no time to our selves, no time for pleasure or recreation: no lime to enjoy ourselves, we cant afford to take the trade papers, and we have no time to read them If we do. When our day's work is done we want to have a little time to our iel ves." What does this mean? It means simply this, that the man who makes such an argu ment is one who is satisfied with being a slave to his own foolishness, blind to his own interests, and who will spend rrom one to three or four hours every evening upon the street, in the saloon or out with the boys, lie has plenty of time for this, but no time to read, he Las plenty of money for such cul ture, but is very poor when it comes to the subject of mental and moral culture.

Beside the long mooted project of a sub- marina tunnel between France and England, which has been postiKjned to an tndefinits future, there has been for several veurs a scheme agitated for bridging the channel be tween France and England by a structure of fabulous extent. This proposed railway bridge will begin at Cape Oris-nez. near Calais, and end at Folkestona It will be nearly twenty-five milt long, and r on seveuty piers with lighthouse towers. Four railway tracks will l Ukl on this bridze at height ot J,50 ieet above the sea level. wh9h wid thus givediroct railway comniuni cation between Euglnnd and the continent, and the dreaded channel passage, which is the bugbear of sensitive travelers, will be a thing of the past. The cost of this gigantic piece of engineering, which, wheu completed. will be without precedent or parallel, will exceed a millard ol francs. Uomorest's Monthly, Cured by the Thermometer The importance attached to a clinical ther momcter by those in ignorance of its ollk-e approaches a suierstition. They close their lips tightly upon iu Their eyes roll wildly around the room. They believe Hint the tube contains some mighty gas or u metal of mysterious power. "There ain't much taste to it, docther," said one of these credit lous fellows, "but 1 s'iose It's turriblo sthrong." Dr. , wbo is something of a wag, encouraged the man's faith in the oc cult virtues of the thing, and with remark able results. After the first "dose" the fever abated. The "treatment" was continued and the patient actually recovered, cured by thermometer, administered ter in die, with out further drugging. A. B. Ward iu Scrib ner's. Looked In the Dictionary. A little girl, 9 yeai-s old, was spending tb summer in a country boarding bouse, where she became a great favorite with the othe; guests. One of them, a young gentleman was so devoted that his attentions bacanw quite annoying to her. One day she said to ber mother, "Do you think Mr. Brown ought to call me a pun devil r "Why, no, my dear," replied her mother, somewhat shocked, "of course not! Hut are you sure he did? You must be ruistakeu," "No, 1 am not," said the little one, triumphantly. "He called me an 'imp.' and I looked in the dictionary to see what it meant, and It said 'a puny devil.' " Home Journal.
