The betrothal of Prince Bismarck's
oaly daughter, having bees annoanced
by oble, may be aet dowa as aa import
ant 1 it of sews, though the faat that
there is ao royal blood ia her veins ren
ders tlie aaBouncement of comparative
insignificance when the destinies of Ger
many are taken into consideration. The
Prussian nobleman who has won the
lady' hand is said t be of a family
which is extensively represented in tlie
court and civil service as well as in tlie
army of Prussia. The Von Eulenburgs
aaraed rwide though not very flatteriag
reputation in Europe some years ago
from the 7eal with which they rallied to
the support of one of their number, a
youag officer, Count von Eulenburg,
who siguslized hitmelf by cutting down
with bis sword and killing a cook in the
retinue of the English Prince Alfred,
frost whom he conceived himself to have
received some disrespect. By the stra
tocracy which now rules Prussia, the
slaying of a cook by an officer snu a
Boblcaian could not 1m: ngarded with
indulgence, audit wrh thought au amaz
ing and outrageous thing that when
Count Eulenburg, after undergoing an
imprisonment ia a military post, visited
England in the suite of the crown prince,
the English military clubs declined to
extend an invitation to him. The prcs
eat Minister of the Interior in Germany
is a Count von Eulenburg, and another
is the president superior of tlie province
of Ilanover, and still another, Maj. Count
von Eulenburg, is the vice grand master
ot the ceremonies at the imperial court
The Countess Marie von Bismarck would
hardly be called a "young'' lady ia this
country, since she was born while her
father was earning his political spurs,
and is now 27 years of ge. She is re
puted, however, to be a lady of high
spirit and of cultivated ability, and her
admirable behavior at the time of .the
attempt made upon her father's life. at

the German press of all parties. She is
the eldest child of the chancellor, who
has also two sons.
A Bay Charmed hy a Saate.
A correspondent of the Reading Daily
iftwfe,writiaf fromWindsor, Piu, gives
the following remarkable story of a large
black snake charming a small boy. Tlie
writer says:
"For the past two weeks a son oi
Allen Rogers, aged eleven years, a wood
cutter on the Blue mountains, about
three miles from Hamburg, has been in
tlie habit of leaving his father's house
every morning about 0 o'clock and not
returning till noon. The parents of the
boy have questioned him several times
as to where he went, and the boy would
reply, to play with a neighboring boy
named Springer. One Friday last the
father watched his boy, and followed at
a short distance. When aoout half a
mile from the house the boy entered a
piece of thick snout land, in from the
road some two hundred yards, where he
seated himself upon a large rock, andi
leas than ten minutes the father was hor
riGed at seeing a monster black snake
crawl on the rock and put its head on
-the boy's lap. The father states that the
snake was tlie largest he ever saw on th
hills. He states that it was easily fifteen
feet loag, aad as thick as his arm, which
Is well developed. The boy had taken
bread with him and, was feeding the
snake, which at short intervals would
stick eut a large tongue, as if hissing for
more to eat. Then it would coil itself
around the neck and body ot tlie boy,
aad play-with the boy's hands with its
moath and neck. The father had often
heard of snakes charming children, and
that if they were disturbed while in the
act they would kill the child. As the
father turned to leave his boy with his
deadly companion he looked back, and
the snake, hearing a noise, at once un
coiled itself and raised its body at least
lour Jeet from the rock and looked in
all directions, nad then it returned to the
boy's lap. The father returned hose
aad awaited the boy 'a return, which was,
as usual, at noon. When told that he
had been seea playing with the snake,
the bey said the first morning he met
the snake-he liked to play with it; then
he took it food, aad he was ao aaach
pleased with his companion that some
thiag told him he must meet Hie snake
every moraiag. Oae morning he said
he was late, and when he reached the
plsae the aaake was standing tpt aad k
came oat to meet him, then followed
hharto the rock. Oa Saturday morniag
the father aad two ot his neighbors weat
to the place with guas, aadatthe naaai
time the aaake made its appearaace,
whea all tred at one time, killiaf the
charmer. Oa takiag it home Mr. Rogers
fond the above jmraamresaeat to be
nearly correct. There is somethiagTery

Stylei la Lace Certefas.
At preacat, the new deeigas are some
what limited ia aamber, but so exquisite
are they ia conception aad txecatioa
that lack of quantity fs atoned for by
the presence of. quality. Unquestiona
bly the novelty of the reason is UicmUB'
lin guipure curtain, perbaiefTcr
known as the CI jny guipure. Ti.i cer
tain is hand maife, and is exceedingly
airy and beautifuf3 coBUtsoA cen
ter piece of the sheerest ofTadiamus
lin of tlie"neceuary length and breadth.
It is surrounded by a bem one inch and
a half in width. Inside of this hem,
and aa inclrand a half apart, are three
hand made insertings, which are very
simple, but very leautiiul. For
an
edging to the hr-m tbeie is a fall of Clu
ny or guipure lace of the rote j attern
and two and one half inches in depth.
Curtains, too, made fiom Tambour laces,
are also very fashionable, as are also the
French cotton guipure curtains, which
are ornamented with a Grecian pattern
and blocks and 6tripes. These curtuins
arc woven, and have u rich uppenrnHce.
Of course there is the usual supply of
Nottingham laces. Where elegance s
desired the French point kicc is fur
nished. The ground work of this cur
tain is so sheer that it is almost invisible,
and the rose pattern so exquisitely deli
cate that one can scarcely realize that
the true art oi lace making is among tlie
things of the past. Formerly it sold for
$150, but may now be had for from $50
to $100. The drop cut tain, which is
intended especially for the decoruting
of bay windows, is m the thinnest of
transparent muslin, upon which is
worked a floral design in hcavey cm
broidery. The street effect of the drop
curtain is very fine the heavy flowers
standing out in bold icliel. Its value
ranges from $20 to $100. Prominent
among the fall line of lace shades are
the Tambour and Nottingham laces.
For chambers the latest whim is Swiss
checkeicd muslin, which is sold by the
yard, and is universally substituted for
Nottingham lace. Fashion has also seen
fit to tamper with the shades of last
season, but in a way that cajls forth ao
warm encomiums from the"Hrtaa,
What she injudiciously has done uthie:
She has-taken, the band shade, Jbrmai
notable for its simplicity, and has seal
loped the the lower edge nd finished it
with a fringe. The design is atrocious,
and no doubt will soon be no more.
One new design, however, which reflects
credit upon the brain that conceived it,
and which will meet with universal wel
come, consists in ornamenting the lower
portion of the shade with the lambre
quin pattern in gilt. As regards lam
brequins, they are, as usual, in all colors
and styles, and so consequently no dif
ficulty need be experienced in purchas
iag a set intended to harmonize with
furnishing. Out of the many goods
displayed, none cling so tenaciously to
old fashions as the lambrequin. This
season It is as yet absolutely without any
ae feature.

George G. Howard, a student of Mon
mouth Academy, committed suicide on
August 81, by shooting himself in the
most deliberate manner. He took ofl a
portion of his clothing and hung it upon
a tree, laying aside also his knife and
wallet. Across two large stones almost
"breast high, he had laid a stick on which
to rest the gun, cutting notches in the
stick to prevent the gun from slipping,
and confining each end by placing rocks
upon it for a weight. By tearing cloth
into shreds he formed a string which he
attached to tlie trigger, and thence car
ried it over the stick to a purchase,
designing evidently to pull it after he
had seated himself against a huge bowl
der, with the muzzic of the gen in hia
mouth. But the string broke, and he
then discharged the gun by pushing
against tlie trigger with a ramrou. The
top of his head wai fairly blown off and
pieces of his skull were found several
rods from the terrible scene. With hia
clothing he left a paper collar; on which
he hai written these worda: "I have
lived long enough, and ao here goes. I
have got ia a jaigbty charge." Portland

The most interesting of all fabulous

-in the rust tlie objects are fco very small
that the changes can only be eea by the
keen eyes of skilled, observers, aided by
the beft powers of the microjcope. Be
ginning with the spores of the mature
TUBt plant, as sc-en in the black stains on
1he old stubble ot any grain field, it will
be found that when the warmaai moist
days of spring come, these spares mi
nate, producing in a fear daye suakert
stem beariag a crop ortfht-'splBihBf -f
very much smaller size. To avoidcon
fuslon, these must be called liy their
scientific name, tporidia, while the pa
rent 8ore4 are the teUuteiport. The
sporidia have never been seen or made to
prow upon the grain; but when they find
their way to the leaves of a bsrbary
lu.-h, they soon begin to germisate, and
make themselves jinanifest
ou the under
surface of the leave
iu what are com
monly known as "cluster cuj.s." The
interior of these pretty little cups ia
clot-ely packed with ttuorcs of a still dif
ferent kind, called tlie a-cldium spores.
These vdll not grow upon the barberry,
but when they fall upon a blade or stalk
of grain, they soon produce the yellow
rusty covering so often seen as the grain
is beginning to ripen, and caused by a
multitude of vrido spores. Later in the
season this uredo state produces the final,
pcrlect teleutoaporcs, thus completing
the circuit of life in this little rust plant.
Long before this rust was discovered to
be a plant, farmers had noticed that
there was a close relation between it and
the barberry, aod at present the latter is
Injing rapidly destroyed with good re
suits, though it can scarcely be expet ted
that the rust plant will thereby become
extinct, as probably the axudium state
grows on other thun the barberry, though
not yet discovered elsewhere. This is an
excellent illustration of polymorphism,
ao common among fungi, and it also
aatfwere well to show tlie vast number ot
spores these microscopic plants produce.
The teleutospore usually bears from five
ten sporidia, and allowing that only
oaeo

the result, la our case suppose only
one, and a low estimate for its contents
would be 250,000 mcidium spores, and if
only one in a thousand finds a place on
the grain stalk, and each brings forth its
250,000 fold, therewould be under such
circumstances 02,500,000 spores from
the single' one with which we started.
Taking the same teleutospore, and sup.
posing cvety spore in all the stages
found its place to fill it, the result would
be 1,562,500,000,000,000,000 spores,
which msy be looked upon as its true
descendants for the seasoa. Or giving
each inhabitant of the globe his equal
share of these reproductive bodies, he
would have nearly as many as there are
individuals in the whole human race.
This may seem like a very large story
about a very small matter, but it is not
the only strange truth the microscope

Mr. A. T. Stewart aad Mis Clerks.
I had au interesting chat with one of
Stewart's clerks, regarding the busin
habits of his wonderful employer. He
tells me that the 'Old Man," as they
style him, U at the store ia New Tork
every day at 9 o'clock a. m., stays an
hour or so, rides to the wholesale store,
and drops into the retail establishment
again at 4 :30, remaining till 6. He has
a most wonderful memory, and while
believer forgets a mistake, he is promp
to recognize and reward those who take
an interest in his business and attend to
it with the care and vim that be consid
ers it demands. My informant says that
Stewart's is tlie best retail boase to work
in, both as regards pay aad advance
ment. He quoted numerous jastaaces
in which men had risen by atasatiea to
business, moat notably the present Se-,
perintendent of the largest dry goods
establishment in the world. Mr. Stew
art prizes the services of this former
parcel boy so highly, that, in addition to
the splendid salary be pays him, he has
given him the title deeds of a hoaae
in New York valued at '$90,000. Mr.
Stewart does everything oa a grand
scale, as befits his reputation. Whea the
clerks were sent from bis New Tork

Early last spriag leace commisstoaer
A. B. Meachaat, who was almost killed
by tlie Modocs, organized a company of
Klamath and Modoc Iadians to give ca
tcrtaiaaients in the Eastern States. The
Indians were selected by their tribes, aad
were representative asen. The orator of
the troupe was Walajks Skidat (uthe left
handed sua that lives betweea two riv
era.") He was a Klamath, descended
frees a loag line ot chias; a noted orntor
a brave leader ia war, aad also tr.goot
farmer aad a greater admirer of the arts
of civilization. He exerted his powerful
Influence- with his people to win them
from their savage condition. Tumuis
poctis ("tlie chief without beads,'' or the
poor chief,) also accompanied the party.
He and Walaiks Skidat, who called him
self David Hill, were inseparable friends,
having been together uinec ljoyhood.
Wiaema (the strong-minded woman)
known tut the interpreter for the Modoc
rommitxion, and the savior of Mr.
Merchant's life, was the stage interpreter
for the party. She is nirr.ul to Frank
Riddle, also an actor in the terrible
Canby tragedy, and her husband assisted
Mr. Meacham in the management of the
troupe. Her English name is Tobey
Riddle.
The troupe were engaged on April 28
to attend a meeting oa Indian affairs at
the Cooper Institute, New York, and
Hill had promised to deliver au address
describing the wrongs complained of by
his and other tribes. The troupe were
quartered at the St. Charles Hotel, and
it was their custom to report to Mr.
Meacham before going out of the house.
Hence be was surprised when at 11 :30 a.
m. of the 28th, David Hill was not to be
found in the hotel. Yumnispoctis had
sought for him from room to room iu
vain, aad continued his lruitlens search
all day. Mr. Meacham was confident
they would meet Hill at the Cooper In
stitute, but he was not there. The meet
ing was held, and alter it Mr. Meachem
informed the police. Hill, he told them,
was a strict temperance man and a
Christian. A thorough search was made,
A iUlth uliwwJiiwiUvf U1M WHMMIWCI
a mystery. Mr. Meacham employed
competent assistants and searched the
slums of the city carefully. Superin
tendent Walling detailed Detective Titus
co follow the trail, and he and Mr.
Meacham devoted day alter day to the
search. Hill was a man of such peculiar
personal appearance that he would have
been observed in a crowd of a thousand
persons, aad the searchers were well as
sured after a quest of two or three days
that he bad not left the city. Hence the
inference was natural that be ws either
dead or held in confinement. There was
stioag circumstantial evidence that he
had been enticed away. The person sus
pected was a man who bad wormed him
self iato the confidence of tlie Indians.
He often entertained them at his place
of business, and daily visited them at
their hotel. He was a frontiersman, and
knew much of the Indian character aad
peculiarities, and hence experienced no
difficulty in gaining their confidence.
Soon after the disappearance of Hill the
person above mentioned called at the
hotel, and it was with much difficulty
that Mr. Meacham aad Mrs. Riddle saved
him from the fary of Yumaipoctis, who
openly accused him of stealing away his
friend.
Mr. Meacham received a hint that aa
ofter of a reward might induce the klp
nsppers to produce their prisoner. He
promised to give $1,000 for the produc
tion of Hill alive aad well, but it was
not accepted. Mr. Meacham offered to
meet the kidnappers alone, unarmed aad
in a dark rouse, aad pay them the money
apoa the delivery of Hill; bet this
proposition was also declined, and at
length the search was givea up. Detect
ive Titas believed throughout that Hill
was etolea by a party of circus asea who
thoeght that if they failed to get a ran
som for Hill they could exhibit him as a
Modoc. The troupe was broken ap im
mediately after the loss of Hill, aad
asost of the Iadians were seat back to
their tribes; theSasaaths aad the Mo
