A stkike in which 00,000 men arc en gaged, like that which is now in progress in Germany, would be serious enough for that country under the belt of circum- htancrs. but when the strikers are aided by funds from other countries, as the Ger man strikers arc, and when the proba bilities are that the strike will extend, as is the case just now in Germany, the maiier assumes a grave aspect, it is no . . wonder mat t lie young lvaiser is giving hi sttriaus attention to the question.

FACTS AND FANC'ES CONCERNING MANY HOOPS OF GOLD. Three inches of snow fell in Dakota last Tuesday, It is thought it was bene ficial to the small grain and did no injury. William Klmnleh, who has been con victed of murder, in New York, is to be executed by electricity the last week in June. General Collixs, Chairman of the democratic committee in Massachusetts professes to see encouragement for h party in the issue of constitutional prohi bition in the old B ly State next fall. But the independent democratic Bos'on lltr- aid docs nor read the future by such en oouraging signs. The Herald points out to Gen. Collins that while there ate republicans who may vote the prohibi tion ticket it will need unforseen losses on the part of the republicans and unfor seen gains on the part of the democrats to assure the state to the latter. General Collins' present prediction, then, is sim ply of the same piece as that -which he made when presiding over the National democratic convention in St. Louis a year ago, that President Cleveland would sweep the country and bo re-elected by an overwhelming majority. A very licht vote was cast in South Dakota last Tuesday but the constitution known as the Sioux Falls Constitution was adepted by nine tenths of the votes cast. I he work of counting the money in the United States treasury has been com menced and is under headway. It will take five or six weeks to complete the task ana it is hopeil that it will be ns satisfactory as it was lour years ago when they were correct to a cent. Senator Siikkuan told a newspaper reporter in London that "Robert Lincoln's appointment was a better one . for the country than for Mr. Lincoln." Senator Sherman was never accused of adminis tering taffy, and this shows that he has j a good opinion of Mr. Lincoln and does not consider him a man without a future. While the Samoa trouble has been under consideration, the British govern ment has seized the Suworrow group, near the Cook Islands, over which si c recently established a protectorate. As Savage Island has also been annexed, England has a circle of stations right around the Samoan group, and can await with comparative indifference the resul of the Berlin Conference. Gore IIouso, Old Kensington. Always in literary annals the Goro will be noted for Gore house, destroyed in clearing the sito for Albert hall. It was for long a literary center, whera the Countess of Bless UJSton, and her stepson-in-law, Count d'Orsay, the "Admirable- Crichton" of his period, kept a hospitable table for Litterateurs and dandies, and especially for those who affected to be both ouo and the other. Louis Napoleon, the future emperor, was for long years one of tho iatimt3 cf Gore house, and when the establishment finally collapsed in 1S49, Car rie! by storm by importunate creditors, the unfortunate pair, neither of whom was adap ted to face tho stern realities of evil fortune, fled to Paris, where their late guest, was now assuming hLs role of "Saviour of Society." Disappointment followed upon their hopes; there was no share for them of the brightness of the new empire, and tho latter days of the chr.rming countess and tho most accomplished of ti.i sidled soori came to an end in the night of poverty and obscurity. Gore house then became a restaurant for the exhibition of 1S51, when Alexis Soycr presided as "cordon bleu." Ah! what was the Eceue in tho days c-f tiiat great exhibition which brought all the world to London and sent it rolling down tho Gore? Before that date the background of tho Gore was a maze of groves, and farms, and market gardens. Farmers and market jranleuers had their business about Earl's court and Qhl Broaipton; plows creaked slowly along where now dash the equipages of the great, tho omnibus of tho multitude and everybody's hansom. - With the exhi bition began the great change which has hereabouts almost swept away the landmarks of Old Kensington- All the x ear Round. Other cities and towns have been calling u "Old sleepy Plattsmouth," aad two cr three of them have beer fighting among themselves for the city but Plattsmouth has just let alone and cone on about her own ness and it now - transpire that she the third city in the state, and if she will er.couraze a few manufactures, she will be the second city instead of the third in a very short time. thirt) them busi is Po3tm aster General "Waxamaker reported to have come to the conclusion that what the country wants is not cheap cr postage, but a better service. It is found that while a reduction of letter postage to one cent would be universally acceptable, it cannot be made without seriously imparinsr the revenues of the postoffice department nnd incidentally affecting its efficiency. The truth is that the present postage rate is the least bur den of taxation of which American peo ple have reason to complain. Bee Tub little town of Ilyattville, in Mary land, has decided to put the single tax theory to a practical test, llie town is pretty nearly as old as the theory itself, and the questron has been discussed around the family circle and in public places until eyerybody has it by heart. Some time ago the little village conclud ed to enter noon a series of public im provements and somebody suggested the idea of-levying takes on the land alone. A vote was taken and single tax won. The outcome will be watched with inter est. This is probably the first instance on record. Dispatch. The more that Washington's record is - examined t l.c clearer the fact becomes that he was not only a sterling patriot, but also a practical politcian, who be lieved in giving the offices to those who agreed with him in sentiment and pur pose. For instanco, on the 27 of Septem ber, 17'J3, he wrote to Timothy Pecker ing, his secretary of war: .

Leeds Mercury. II is Occupation. It is said that Tennyson enjoys telling this story of a laboring, man who used to work near the poet s early residence at Haslemere: "Who lives there?" asked a visitor to that region, pointing to the laureate's Louxi. "Muster Tennyson," answered the laboring man. "What does ho dof" was the next inquiry.' "Will, muster, I doesn't rightly know what ha does," answered the rustic, scratch ing bU Ik-cO.

Bootou Commonwealth. The Engagement and Wedding Rings a no the Fingers Tliey Adorn Superstitious and Omens Connected with Them The Ioy Ring of the Sixteenth Century. The origin of tho circlet that adorns my lady's hand is obscure, though very ancient. There is a tradition which assigns the inven tion of the ring to Tubal Cain, and the old Latin author who gives circulation to the story, in sjieaking of tho wedding circlet, says: "The form of tho ring being circular that is to say, round and without end im partetli this much, that mutual love and hearty affection should roundly flow from ono to tho other, as in the circle, and that continually forever." Tho hands of female mummies found In tho tombs of Egypt aro profusely decorated with rings, thus proving that ring wearin, was an established custom at a very early day. The wealthy ladies of Egypt wore rings on nearly every finger and costly rings they wero, too. Their poorer sisters used less costly circlets, and rinss formed of bronze, glass and pottery with suitable mot toes were their finger friends. BETROTHAL. AND MARRIAGE RINGS. Marriago by tho ring is common in many countries besides our own. The Russians have two rings, which are changed three times. In the first place, the man places tho ring on tho woman's finger, then the priest changes tho man s ring and puts it on her finger, and thon priest and man join and give her tho ring for life. W hen Henry VIII es poused Anne or uieves no sent ner a ring which bore the inscription, "God send me well to keep." It was a fatal motto, as we know, for "bluff King Hal" ere long grew tired of her and began to look tu-ound for another pretty victim. Wedding rings have not always been mado of metaL Necessity has caused the invention of some singular ones. On several occasions a pieco cut from the finger of a kid glove has answered for tho wedding circlet. When the gallant Duko of Hamilton married Miss Gun ning almost on tho spur of tho moment, ono mijrht say, for the courtship was of but two days' duration, I believe, no proper cere monial ring was at hand. The archbishop refused to act without a ring, and the lord and his lady were for a whilo distracted. But at length tho knot was cut in an ingen ious manner and the young couple were mar ried by the ring of the bed curtain, which no doubt cut a curious figure on tho whito hand of tho fair damsel Among tho Armenians children are sub jected to early betrothal by ring ceremony. This is done by the mothers, who make the occasion a very solemn one, and at any time years afterward tho man can claim his bride. But once a year from the date of tho be trothal tho prospective brido is entitled to receive un Easter dress frpm the bauds of the futuro husband. Customs similar to this one prevail in various countries of tho east, and tho ring is made to play a very important part in tho woman's lift. In Roman espousals, mentions Macrolms, tho man gavo the woman a ring by way of pledge, and tho woman put it on tho third linger cf her left hand, because it was be lieved that a nerve ran from that finrrer to tho heart. Tho Egyptians ascribed tho possession of this important nerve to tho ; fourth finger of the same hand. Com ing down to later belief and usage, wo find that Madamo de la Tour, writing of my lady's ring, saja that if tho lady is willing to marry, tho circlet should bo worn on tho in dex finger of tho left hand; if engaged, on tho second finger; if married, on tho third; but if sho has no desiro to wed, then on the littlo finger. I Tho sign language of the ring is yarierJ cr..! quaint. For instance, wo aro told that a ring on tho forefinger indicates a haughty, bold and overbearing spirit; on the long finger, prudence, dignity and discretion; en the marriago finger, love and afTectiou; oa tho little finger, a masterful spirit. Ouo ouId pot flunk that rings wero once worn on tho thumb, but such was ono of tho customs that prevailed from tho Fourteenth to the Seventeenth century. Wo are quite familiar with Falstaff's extravagant boast that, when young, he was slim enough to "creep into any plderman's thumb ring." .But thumb rings never came into general use among the ladies. They preferred to keep tho rinj7 on tho tapering fingers, where it could bo worn with more easo and to better advantage. Wedding rings in all ages havo been re girded sacred. When llary of Mcdeiia, one x)f the beautiful and unfortunate heroines of history, was forced to dispose of her jewels sho kept as most precious to her her wedding ring. Dr. Samuel Johnson kept his wife's ring as a sacred treasure, aad the keepsake most valued by Victoria is kuowu to bo the ring placed on her finger by Albert on their wedding day. There is a story told of a Rus sian prince who, on being searched previous to'a life long exilo in Siberia, begged to bo al io wed to retain a plain gold ring which kept alivo tho memory of a nappy marriago. And tho story goes, I am glad 'to say, that ho went to the mines with the treasure next to his heart POST ANT MOTTO RINGS. Posy rings came into vogue with tho Six teenth century. These were motto rings, and they form ono of the most interesting chap ters of ring lore. It is said that tho famous ring which Essex sent to Queen Elizabeth by tho Countess of Nottingham, but which the willful woman did not deliver until after the duke's death, was a posy. These rings were common between lovers ana tnenas all over Europe, They bore rhyming mottoes and af fectionate sentiment, and the lady without a posy ring was looked upon as forlorn and with but few hopes of marriage ahead. Shakespeare know tho posy ring, for in the Merchant of v cnico" ho makes Gratianoand Nerissa say: Gratiano About a hoop of gold, a paltry ring'. That she did give me, whose posy wes. For all the world like cutler s poetry Upon a knife, "Love me, love me not." Nerissa What talk you of the posy, or tho value? You swore to me when I did Rive it you. That you would wear it tiU your hour pf death. Seme of tho mottoes on the old posy rings aro beautifully quaint. The list of them is entirely too long to be embodied in this arti cle, but I cannot refrain from giving a few: "In the my choice, 1 do rejoice." "May God above increase our love." "Not two but one till Life is done." ,fMy heart and 1 until I die." "As gold is pure, so love is sure." "As long as life your loving wife." "Love is sure where faith is pure." "Love is heaven, and heaven is love." "Not for a day, but, love, for aye." "When this you see, then think of me." 'Iu gold I'm cast to bind two fast." "My heart Is thine, true loyo pf mine." T.
