After an hour's conference with Messrs. Willard , Scott and Louse , his conferees on the board , the secretary returned to the asylum , where iie remained during the day. Late toward evening the asylum wa called upon for news , but the wires were networking working and no answer was obtained.

That if he ( Doctor MaUliewsou ) wanted admission lie could obtain it by dropning his pre tended authority and turning over the KiMS , and that he could obtain admission iu no other way.

His Ural case was bo.- fore a justice ol marked moraljty , who was extremely liiuslt with criminals. The weakness ot the old Puritan was his \oneratioii tor veterans of the war , all of whom lie esteemed as unrewarded heroes. McCtillum had fought fouryoars. His client was a thief. "Tho only thing 1 can do for you , " said McCulluni , after having gained "the man's ' confi dence , "is to implore the mercy of the court. When yon go 011 the stand tell the whole truth. " The man had stolen a cow , killed tt , sold the hide , and taken the carcass homo to his family , which was really hull'uring for the necessaries of life. The puosccu- lion , with a long line of witnesses , had made out a perfect ease , and the brow of the justice was draped in ominous frowns when the prisoner was called. The lat- tur did as directed by his attorney , con cealing nothing from the almost starv ing condition of his wife and family to the dressing of the stolen beef. "Now. your honor , " said McCullum , "the defence has no witnesses. My cli ent is guilty , lie has hidden nothing from tliis court. Jt is the first time lie ever transgressed the laws. He was in spired to do wrong by thatinstinct which wo oven admire in brutes.1 Then , turn ing to the prisoner as if the fact had nearly o-icapcd him , Me' 'ul.'u.n s .id. ' J5y thu way , you were a soldier ; in the lute war. were j-ou not ? " "Yes , sir. " "Weren't you at Gettysburg ? " ' " Yes , sir.1'1 "So was t. And you were in other his- torjc battles , fighting for your country , while your wife and family suffered from waul at homey" "Yes , sir. " The prosecution at this point saw the way the case was drifting and attempted to ridicule the "old-soldier defense , " a.s the prosecuting attorney named it. The ofl'ect on the old justice was to arouse all his loyalty and indignation. "Kmnigh of this. " said he , bringing his hand down on the desk in front ot him with a thundering thud. "No soldier , no man that has shed his best blood for his country , not even if he be a criminal , can bo reviled , in my presence. The prisoner is discharged. And , .sir. when you are suffering tor the necessities of life again come to me. " The joku was too good to keep. Me Cullum told the justice one day that the oltt soldier was an ex-confederate , but never again did AlcCullum practice in that court. It always gives us pleasure to speak well of a good article. The "Garland Stoves and Ranges" are acknowledged to embody all that is bct in that line. They have the r oputation of being the best made. Though imitated by many they are equaled by none.

Emperor YUllInin null the Ciown I'rlnco A. Collection of 1'nl ncc < Kredbrick's Former Uesltlcnce. Potsdam bears the relation to Merlin that Versailles docs to Paris , writes a correspondent of the San Trancisco Chronicle. It was the favorite residence of Prussia's greatest monarch , who adorned it with palaces , and gave it the importance that it would otherwise never have possessed. It takes less than an hour to go there by rail. The route is not greatly dlversilled b.y villages. The road traverses interminable forests of young pines with viststs , through which you catch a glimpse of shining lakes and crosses .1 canal now and then , which serves to unite the sluggish streams by a common bond of commerce. A glance at the Prussian Versailles shows why it was selected by Trederiok the Great as a suburban residence. It is sulliciuntly near thu capital. On one side is the Havreith the series of lakes through which it Hews , and on the other a .series of hills , not imposing , but of siifllclcnl elevation to bo a relief from , the general level and to com mand a broa'd and not unattractive land scape. The soil , too , has an unwonted fertility. The city is full of fruit orchards and fruit trees in streets , parks and gar- donsand tlio environs arc well cultivated. Add to this that no climate could well be more agreeable in spring , summer and early autumn than that of this part of Prussia and ono can easily understand why a residence here is agreeable during a large part of the year. The Kinperor William does not , however , spend much time at Potsdam , lie prefers Uablcs- burg , a chateau in the English Gothic style , built on a hill on tin- shore of one of tlie larger lakes of the Havre , across which thu palace of Sans Souci , so long the homo of I'Vi'dcriek ' this frreat , the new palace so caHc'-lthough it was built by Frederick ut is now occupied a part of tlie time by the crown prince ) , and the marble palace , the summer residence of the crown prince's eldest sou , are plainly visible. inn oi.n UMIMIOK. : : So when he is tired of cpntemp'.at'my ' the great canvases on which arn illus trated the wars with Denmark , Austria ami France , he can from Ids chamber window sweep his eye over a landscape which includes the rcsiduncc.s of the greater part of his descendants , and at night tell whether , like good children , they Imvts gone to bed at a seemly hour. But if the stories told by the French press arc true ho will not be able much longer to indulge this patriarchal fondness. Ilis eye is said to have lot its brightness1 , Ills head its imperial pose , his form its orcctpess , and what is stranger than all , lie is no longei able to distinguish tlic members of the Prussian from the o of the general parliament ot tlic. German states. Is tins prophetic ? A poet of some celebrit.v has said that coming events cast their shadows before.It is possiblethen , that the venerable monarch in his capacity of aged seer may have a vision of the lime when , the process of absorption completed , the German rep resentative body may ho merged in that of what was once the little Duchy of IJrandinburg. But whatever may be the state of Ids health or ot his tottering reason , it i51 probable that he will insist on holding lu- > power to the last , and that if on his deathbed tlie crown prince should come in , as did the son of that llenry of whom Shakespeare tells , and begins toying with the imperial crown , going perhaps so far as to sec if tliu cap tits him , hovill como back even if lie has passed thesdent bourne and replace it on the bald poll that has so long worn it. IN TIII : isti'EitiAi , rmdr.Ncn. : It was my privilege to catch a glimpse of the imperial poll at the late grand ro- vicw of Potsdam on the anniversary of Frederick the Great's birthday. The da } ' was admirable for the occasion. Bis marck did not come nor Von Molikc. But the emperor came over from Bablen- btirg with the empress and some gentle men aud ladles of the imperial house hold. Thu crown prince was naturally present in 1iis capacity of ofliccr of thu guard , and there wore other persons of distinction who might have shown had they not been so overshadowed by the presence of royalty. The emperor , cm- press and suit attended divine .service at the military in the morninc , and then came in carriages to the royal chateau , but u little distance from it. Tlie review took1 place in the pleasure t'ardun back of the chateau , apart of which lias been cleared away for a parade ground. Thu front of the old aud ugly udllico is on a courtyard which faces on one of the principal streets of the city , The principal rooms open on the garden at the back , where tncro is also a perron witli broad steps which com mands the parade ground. On this perron the ladies of thu suit gathered during tlio parade , and candor and a powerful Held glass compel mo to say that compared as respects beauty and tasteful attire with a similar assemblage of ladies in Franco , England or America , they wcro a failure. Tlio ompc.ror wore the uniform of tlie guards , ami surrounded by u brilliant group of olficorri , gave the orders for thn regiments to dolilo before him after they had first taken their places. This in itself was an allair of the time , and while it was in progress the crown prince did not hc.sitatu to show his manly .form in passing hero and there across tlie parade ground and conversing fumiliarly with thu oiliccr.s of the guard , Ho is a tall , line looking man , but somewhat dwarfted by several officers , who , by tl'eir fetaturo , which appeared to bo nuarly seven foot , would have warmed the heart of Frederick the Groat' * , father and caused their prompt admission to his regiment of giants. A Miumtv mvii\v. : : Though the oecaMon was a centenary it did not scum to have drawn the crowd oi .spectators that might hava been ex pected. They scarcely numbered a thou sand. Comparatively few came from Berlin , and of these a largu proportion wuto foreigners or tourists from other parts of Germany. The facilities for sou- ing wcro not good. No ono "was ad mitted to the garden , aud as a largu part of it is still filled with trees the re view was only to be soon through a portion tion of thu railing at two of its sides. My own position was fortunate. By dint of considerable llattonng I had forced mydnlf between two oftho cob uni us that Hank the main entrance , and found standing room on the in ner side of the pedestal of one oj tiiem. Thence 1 could command tlie entire parade ground , the person , ami , as good luck would have it , the ci'cnyii prmco , as if for the special satis faction of my curiosity , came ami stood awhile directly m front of me , The parade - rado ground is small and while ttio regi ments were taking their places they were obliged to occupy the edge of the woodeil part of the garden. In coming into place they wheeled directly before mo , giving me an opportunity to study their uniforms and personnel to thu boat advantage. Ho\v many there were 1 do not know , but the garrison of Potsdam composed entirely of regiments of picked men , numbers 7,000 or 8,000 and most of these probably participated in the review , It was quite ouough to till all the aviiilublo space with a mass of gay plumes , shining helmets aud brilliant uniforms. OMIM VN3 ANMI rnr.M tt. The Imperial Guard , without doubt represents the flower of the German army , which is best in its personnel and most cfllcicnt and exact in its disciplin. 1 say the best , but it is a dillercncc only In degree , for the spirit and discipline of the army arc in general r7 peels every whore the same. U is undeniable that the German army has been brought by Bis marck to the highest degree of perfection. You see it in a Ticrman olllccr or a Ger man soldier all over the country , whether ho is on or off duty. Ills bearing is mil itary. Ho carries himself erect and his unilorm is well kept. I Kayo heard it re peatedly said in ! ranee , "The Germans are a dirty people" ( ( " o < a uu sale people ple ) . Without entering into Hie question of the relative claims to neatness of the two nations , it is unquestionable that from a military standpoint the Germans are much the neater of the two. Their uniforms arc haml.somor , they are heller made , they arc bctterjcept. This is nstom&liing when we consider that the standard of ta tu is much higher in Franco than in Germany. The French soldierVuniform rarely lit' him and he does not take good care of it. lie is often round-shouldered a defect thai Is rendered moie unpleasantly apparent bv slouching habits. The French aillhori- ties have begun some changes of uniform which may produce tlie ilcsirod results if tlie French soldier can only be induced to stand up straight and carry himself like a good soldier , wliich he certainly is when it comt'3 to the test. Then ho rises to tlio level of the situation and shows all thu bravery and staying qualities that urn necessary. It is largely on the elan of the French soldier in time of battle that the nation bases iti hope of success in a war with Germany. Hut t ho Ger man soldier is Mibmissive aud disciplin * able. MEN Of NOHI.r. SI'ATI'ltn. In regard to stature , it would be im- pos'qblo to get together in France 7,000 men of the si/.u of the Potsdam guards , though the latter have probably dimin ished in height since Frederick 11 formed nis regiment of giants. Tills was dis banded by Frederick the Great when ho ii'cundcd to the throne , but he developed the same tendency later , for we learn from tlio correspondence of Voltaire that ho complained to his royal friend aud patron that he was unable to take the air in the garden of Sans bouci with out having a , musket thrust into his .stomach by one of the huge guards that surrounded tiio palace. It was part of the ceremonial observance of the review to march with tlio parade step common in the time of Frederick the Great Every olio lias scon this in engravings. It con sists in throwing out the leg as if the sol dier hud no furthur use for it and was ab solutely trying to lliiigituwuv.then bring ing it down on tiio ground as if he InJ feuded to bury it several feet in the sod. Some of the London papers call it "pran cing , " though that word poorly suggests the movement. It is dillicult and its only advantage is to cultivate the soldier to a greater promptness In the use of his mus cle aud a higher degree of precision. All tlio regiments pass through thu ordual successfully , but several military schools composed of boys of different .sixes who had been practicing the same step and who were anxious to be put through their paces in the imperial proienec , were not allowed that privilege. The nervous force of the emperor < ravi > out too soon. No sooner had the last regiment passed him than he ascended the perron surrounded by his just and thrust his aged , wrinkled white taco and waxed moustache over tlic balustrade to catch a glimpse of the com ing generation of soldiers , then withdrew incontinently to the inner rcccoses of the palacu. The Potsdam palaces were not visible on this day , but I saw them afterward. The interest that attaches to thorn is principally historical and personal , for they have little to show in the way of art or architecture. Tlio circuit is usually made in a carriage that costs 00 cents an hour , and need not occupy more than half a day if you are a foreigner Devout Germans like to linger with many oh's and all's , hats oil' and bated bru'ath , in apartments consecrated b.y the birth , the death , not merely of Frederick the Great , but of all the other Fredericks who pos sessed any title whatever to distinction. The coachman usually takes you first to the Hoyul Clmtuuu jubt mentioned. You are shown through It by ono of the uni formed servants , who by promptly pull ing oil his liat in certain rooms indicates to visitors tlie degree of reverence which attaches to each. Ho also adds some words of explanation , calls attention to the pictures b.y Lancrct , Wat- tcau , or by Frederick himself , and the special use to which each was appro priated. Tliu style of decoration is rococo , with a lavish display of silver aud gold. The rooms occupied by 1 < rodcricl\ remain much as ho loft thorn. That which inter ests most is the celebrated "Cabinet dc Conlidiues , " made with double doors and ofl'uetuully freed from tlic ovosdropping of servants by having the meals served by means of a table raising and descend ing through the floor. Tliu rooms that servo as the temporary residence of Will iam are simply furnished. That used as an ollico being furnished in gold , and has among several other not very remarkable - able paintings a picture b.y Meyer Vou Bremen , aud the celebrated portrait of Napoleon as first consul , showing a face delicate , rcliued and almost cfl'emint.te. A collection of army rosters , all the books in tlio room , are seen on tiio little desk at which the umporor theoretical works. HIS MAJKSTV'3 Iir.UKOOM. The adjoining room is his bed cham ber. So much has been said about thu extreme austerity of iho routine of Ids daily lifu , and especially of the hard mili tary couch to which ho condemned his aged bones , that [ 'determined to make a critical oxamimitjon of it. Tlio servitor did not sue anything irreverent in it , and it was easily made , for the couch was destitute of finoii , .showing that domestic thrift sometimes puuotrato.s even into the precincts of imperial palaces. Thu bed stead wiio narrow , but it was furnished with a mattress soft as downy pillows are , in fact so yiuldimr that even an American could sluup comfortably on it , rebelling a little , perhaps , At its extreme narrowness. I'lio beds at Bedclsburg and in ilia great palace in the Unlcr dun Linden are , 1 doubt not , equally soft , not to bay luxurious. As to rising early , the emperor does not dlfl'or in this respect from other old people Most of them have the luibit of going to bed with thu hens , which entails the ne cessity of rising at cock crow. The bed occupied by Bouaparto when he was hero in ono of his early e : > in ) > aigns is in a chamber close at hand , It lm % no mili tary narrowness , being in fact wide enough to contain : i Mormon household , plurality of wives and { { roatgrandchil- drun included I FltnniiltlCK'.S rOIIMKU HUiIW.NCH.

It must have been in its day an attractive philosophic retreat.

"Oh , yes I think you may go to tlie Derby. " "No , but yoil don't quite understand me , Sir James , " persisted the jockey. " 1 mean , shall I be lit to rldoV" "Well , 1 don't know , " was tlie answer. "Hotter drive ; better drivel" Archer , rather taken aback by this very innocent and nnoipcctcd rejoinder , had to explain. "I am afraid , Sir James , you scarcely realize who I am' ' " "No"said the surgeon , politely , re ferring to the patient's visiting card. " 1 see 1 have the honor of receiving Mr. Archer , but ' ' 11 "Well. " said Archer. "I .suppose 1 may say that what you are in your pro- fosMoni Sir James , that 1 am in mine , " and proceeded to toll him what that pro fession was. The famous surgeon , on learning the status of his visitor , was at once grcallj interested , and asked him eagerly many questions , among others. What would bo his k > ss supposing lie should be unable to fulfil the Derby cncagiincnl" to which Archer replied : "About Jtt..OOO. " His average annual income he stated ( if I mistake not ) lobe about 8,000 ; upon which Sir James is said to have remarked- "You may well say that what I am in my profession that you are ju yours. I only wish that my profession were half as profitable as , yours. " One of the institutions of Connecticut this fall is the cider boat , who , pretending to be out buying cider , samples tlic farmers' apple juice , gets invited to dinner or lake tea , says he'll call again , and goes on his dishonest way. Captain Mitchell , of the bark Antoinc Sala , New York and Havana trade , came home in May , entirely helpless with rheu matism. He went to the mountains , but receiving no benolit , at his wife's request began to take Hood's Sarsaparilla. Ho immediately begun to improve ; in two months his rheumatism was all gone , aud he sailed in command of his vessel a well man. Hood's Sarsparilla will help you. Sold by all druggists. Three of a Kind. Hartford Times : A Bridgeport man who was in Now York last week met with a singular coincideucc on an ele vated train. He was approached by a man who had found a glove with the fore finger of tlie left hand cut which was suitable for his hands , on account of nn accident in former years. While the pair were talking a third man canio for ward and claimed the three-lingered glove , and on examination all the parties had aforc-lingor missing on the left hand. The trio of thrco-lingored men shook hands in honor of the event , look three fingers of sherry , and afterward separated in three different directions. LUMBAGO-LAME BACK. AMASlWffJMBSULTS.
