Ho passed an hour with Prince Bismarck who , ns ho drove up , wns received with a slight coolness. The emperor twice showed him self at the window nndoiico with the empress and both wore vociferously cheered by the crowd who would as heartily cheer the crown Prince should ho become an em peror , In a week. While the morning bulle tin wns hopeful , the evening ono was sugges tive of calamity. At midnight as I close oven Sir Morcll Mackenzie hints at pyicmln , while oilier med ical associates boldly declare that the blood poisoning from abscess which killed Presi dent Garllold has begun to take cftectin the Gorman emperor from the undoubted trachcal abscess. Tlio question Is , can ho have vitality enough to resist ill Ucrlincrs , therefore , retired to bed much depressed nt this latest Intelligence from the castle. [ Press. ] The improvement In the con dition of the emperor continued yester day evening , although his fever increased n little. Ho had a tolerably good night. A Consultation held by physicians this morning showed the emperor's con dition to bo less satisfactory than it was yesterday morning , but bettor than last evening' . Feverish symptoms wore in dicated. Physicians have agalu sounded the emperor's lungs and found that they'were not directed. This strengthens the opinion that an abccss has formed in the tracca. Tlio emperor appeared ut the windows of Chnrlot- tcnburg castle at 13:45and : was enthusias tically greeted by the crowds assembled. The emperor slept this afternoon for about tyvo hours , arising at 5 o'clock , when ho \vnlked to his study and went with the em press to the window. His appearance was the signal for nn outburst of enthusiastic cheering by the crowd outsldo. After lie loft the -window ills fever was greatly in creased. Dr. Mackenzie fears pyicuilii. A. general consultation of doctors and lung specialists will bo held to-morrow. Extra ordinary precautions have been taken to in- sura the utmost stillness in the neighborhood of the castle in order that the emperor's repose - pose may nofbadisturucd. The tube in the emperor's throat was skill fully changed by Dr. Hovcll without assist ance. The now tube gave the emperor much relief. He bears his illness admirably , and in splto of all takes the greatest interest in state affairs. PAiii8 , April 18.

PETEiisiiuno , April 18. frsew York Hcrald'Cablc Special to the Bni : . ] Further serious news of the connltion of Emperor Frederick has reached hero but has not yet , bcen published. The Russian court besides , lias information upon which it considers his reported hopeless state to bo without doubt. A curious injunction has just been issued to all organs of the Husslan press enjoining them , under pain of sevcro punishment , not to publish bno word in disparagement of Crown Prince William. During the recent crisis in Berlin Russian newspapers have indiscriminately asperced the Gorman crown prince , Empress Victoria and Prince Bismarck. They have oven gone to sucli lengths of ab surdity In their nbuso of the English influ ence at Berlin that the empress' charitable journey into Pczcn lias been attributed to her pro-Polish proclivities inherited from England. Now that the government is cer tain of n fatal issue to the emperor's illness , it takes this opportunity of forewarning tlio press against maligning the next German monarch. Another example of its caution Is its timely support of Prince Bismarck on the Bottenburg question , it being considered cer tain that the chancellor will noon become moro powerful than ever.

AYlicn the opposition found that , contrary to their expectation , the ministers , though given n.mnlo rope , had not hanged thumsolvos , they dooidcd that they must give it a pull them selves.

" The reverend gentlemen first spoke of the two antithetic females spoken of in the apoc alypse. The first , the representative of pur ity , clad In while , her face llko the sun , the moon l > ciicath her feet nnd twelve stars upon her brow. The other , the harlot , was attired - tired In scarlet , was adorned with inetricious and cheat ) ornaments , nnd though she grow Into the great city of Babylon , her career was brief. Thus , over in life , virture is its own crowning glory , while the glitter of law less abides but for the moment' . Wings signify something aspirin ? . Men are moro ambitious than women. Though woman possesses many line attributes she lacks aspi ration , and ns a consequence she never has achieved what man has. No woman ever yet lias had the breadth of pbctie imagina tion of Shakespeare , or Milton. But woman's sphere has ever been , that of guardian of the morals and religion of tlio family , and her mission is thus the nobler. Tlio stork , the harbinger of good fortune , is n migratory bird , and no matter hnw flcrco the blast ho has to oppose , he struggles on ward. So any great enterprise in which the champions nro bearers of good tidings there must llrst bo struggles , self sacrifice and perseverance. In their Christian work the good women are apt to overlook the numerous shop girls nnd other young women who are needing but n kind word to keep them from destruction. They wait until the girls are ruined and then attempt to erect reformatories to bring them back from the gates of hell. Most men in vest their wives with nn Ideality that makes them scorn better than obey really are. This Is a grand thing , for us long as a man thus regards his wife , she holds over him u great power for good. The meetings continue again to-day , there being a morning , ntternoon and evening ses sion , the last named terminating the anni versary. m AMUSEMKNTS.

The solos are few and none of them arp stumped with exceeding brilliancy or beauty , ( hose qualifications being monopolized by the heavier parts. In choruses the opera is par ticularly rich nnd in every ono of these , par ticularly that of the sailors in the lust act , which was intensified by excellent stage movements , the company scored n great success.

The sudden death of Denny Mack , the old league player nt Wilkosbarro , Pa. , calls to mind some of the llvoly days of the old Phil adelphia club lu 1878. Mack's correct nnmo wns Dennis McGco. Ho was the eldest son of Captain Dennis McGcc , the famous loader of the Carbon county Bucktails during the war. Young McGee was sent to college for the purpose of being educated for the priest ' hood. While nt school ho was an apt scholar nnd n good ball player. Ho had many oiTcra from professional clubs but refused all of them until tlio year before his ordination , when ho had u quarrel with ono of thopro- fessors and left college to join the Forest City club of Kochforu , 111. Ho covered llrst base. As a ball player , Mack wns n great success. Ho was always gentlemanly and never known to maKe a klckf Ho wns a bril liant short stop as well as llrst baseman , n tcood hitter and an excellent base runner. His work with the new Philadelphia "lub in 1873with St. Louis Hrownsnud other leading clubs afterwards as well us Ills ability as n manager , is well known to the baseball people ple of the country. Mack was always a hail fellow well mctrand well thought of by the profession. JIow the Birds \Vlntcrcd.

Western Agriculturalist : Draft horses stand prc-omiiiontly at the head of the most i > roiUnblo stock furm. Tlio esibt- orn buyers are eagerly hunting till over the west for the grade draft liorscs nnd paying hpkmdid prices for them. Wo uro glnd to too tlio iigriculturnl papers giving this yonr more- recognition of the merits of the draft horse interest and loss of tlio fust horse folly. The Io\vi : lloincatoudoi' very iippropriutoly says : "It IB very romnrlcnblo that amid the almost , universal depression in farm produces , . Vho ono product that has stood linn.

" An Atl-Ninlit Swim. The nnmo of Frank Miller , who hns just reached hero , says tho-Snn Fran cisco Examiner , on the brig William O. Irwlu from the Sandwich islands , ought to bo placed lirtho tomnloof fame along side that of Loandor , lor ho has proven thnt ho possossoa nn nmphiblnn capacity quito cniml lo that of the swimmer of the Hellespont. Millar's exploit wns out in the Pacific ocean , and therefore cannot bo measured as to distance , but its time. Three or for months ngo ho loft San Francisco on the whaling vessel Jacob A. Ilowland , which during its cruising caught two whales near the Sandwich Islands. For n day or two after the killing the vessel > vns surrounded by sharks ongor for the rofuso. The vici ous creatures swarmed in the walto of the vesfeol and crowded around her , popping their greedy heads up above the waves in plain sight of the sailors. The deck was slippery after the killing , and ono evening while Miller wns on tha port rail forward ho missed his footing and pitched Jicndlong Into the sen. sen.IFo thinks ho must have floated , un conscious from the shock and from fright nt the thought of the sharks , for some time. For with his first consciousness after slipping and falling ho looked for the vessel , but could neither see nor hear anything of her. Ho know they wore not many miles from the shore of the island of Mqlokai , and guiding him self nsbost ho could by the stars , ho struck out in the direction which ho thought would carry him to its shoro. But ho was swimming against the lido , and ho could feel that ho was making but little progress , exert himself as ho might. lie thought of thoaharks , which only a few hours before had boon clus tering around the vessel , and every five minutes ho imagined that ono was swashing up against him , while every bright gleam of starlight upon a litllb wave ho was cock-suro was the coldly glittering eye of a hungry shark , in to n't on making a lunch oil him. But morning dawned and ho was still uneaten , though so wea"k from his bat tle with the waves and his continued fright that ho had not the strength to climb uion a couple of planks nailed together that came drifting past him. But ho caught hold of thorn , and man aged to sustain himself still longer by their aid. A terrible thirst took pos session of him , and as the sun rose higher it almost blislorod his face and hands. Finally , about the middle of the afternoon , the brig Irwin came along , saw him , and picked him up. HIF strength was so entirely gone that ho had to bo lifted over the side of the boat sent after him as if ho had boon a baby. Crnpo Used ; IH a Signal. A piece of crape fluttered -from the head-piece of the drawbridge over the Rancocas river at Ilainesport , yester day morning , says the Now York World , as the west bound train for Philadelphia approached , and the draw-tender , George Hoylc. who for n score of years has lived in the little house beside the bridge with his wife , was absent from his post. "That's a strange signal to have on the draw , " said the engineer. "Won der what's the matter ! " Just then the train carao to a halt at the end of the bridge , and from his little house staggered George Hoylo , the draw-tondor , the tears coursing down his woatherbcalcn checks , and his voice so choked with emotion that ho could hardly spoak. "What's iho matter , GeorgoV" asked the engineer in a kindly voice as ho noticed the draw-tender's agitation. "Tho matter ? " said Iloylo , with a sob that shook his frame. "Well , I'm in hard luck. My wife dropped dead a few minutes ago while I stood joking with her at the door waiting , for the west bound train to signal for the bridge. I hoard the train coming , but I couldn't leave her at such a time , so I just picked up a bit of crape and got some ono to hang it out so you would know thorp wns something wrong. " Just then the train started , and many were the expressions of sympathy among tbo passengers for the poor draw-tondor , who has boon a faithful employe for many years.

Nov. , has adopted a lot of jack rabbits. The man lives alone on a ranch , and devotes hiinsolf to stock-raising. As ho docs not try to raise vegetables Iho rabbits could'do him no harm , and so has never tried to drive thorn away. They soon became very tame , and , as the jack rabbit is rather an oiTootlonato animal anyway , they kept making moro advances and trial of friendship until they and Iho old man have become quito hociablo. When ho gees out after Ills cows two or throe do/.uii rabbits will' como trooping along after him , leaping around him , running between Ills logs , and nibbling his lingers. They often invade his cabin , leap on his 'bod , and skirmish around after something to cat. Ho lias taught some of the moro intelligent rabbits a num ber of tricks , uuc'li as jumping over a bar nnd through a ring , walking on their hind legs , nnd jumping over ono another like leap frog.

CHICAGO I'UODUCn MAUKET. CIIICAOO , April IS. [ Special Telegram to the Hnn.1 To-day the tumble In wheat prices was ns sudden as the advance had been. The advance had been based almost entirely on the reported Injury to winter wheat. To many -vho bore that fact In mind nnd watched the universal scramble to sell wheat this morning , it would have seemed that nil the killed wheat had como to llfe.and that ptowed-up Quids had by some moans been replaced in their original condition , yol so far as the legitimate situation is concerned and the actual value of wheat , no difference can bo discovered between to-day nnd yester day. Still from yesterday's highest point to to-day's lowest , there was n decline of ! > Yo in the prlco of May wheat. For this the foreigners were largely responsible. They had been selling futures freely in Now York and hero for two days past , nnd followed It up this morning with another Hood of selling orders. Those broke the hearts of the New York bulls and there wns nn early slump there. Hero , however , there scorned to bo at least ono friend to wheat at the start , May wheat opening Hcohlglicr than Jast night's close , but In an Instant everybody seemed anxious to sell nnd nn Immediate drop of 1 > c followed. Thcra were but two reactions and these only of Xc. Tlio local bearish influence was the enormous selling of Cudahy , who was a big buyer yesterday nnd Monday , and n much bigger seller to day. Other holders who had a profit were anxious to realize it , and those who luid a loss wcro anxious to make it as small as possible. Nobody seemed to want any wheat until the break had been suulc'out to seem to rail for some slight reaction , which the scalpers bought for , but every reaction was followed by further depression , and the closing price was nearly the lowest of the morning EC as on. May wheat opened at S-'c , sold down to tuj c , up to SlJ e , back to SOJtfe , and up to Slife again , then gradually down to 8lH4c , up to SO c , down to Hl' o , and the 1 o'clock "closj was at SO'.jc. ' Juno wheat opened nt 82 0 , sold down to and closed in Sic. The corn market opened stronger and higher , apparently under buying for Frnley , the St. Louis speculator who was shoit on a largo line , and had ordered his trades closed. When this demand wns filled Mnv corn dropped 1 kfc with great rapidity. Holders of corn seemed as anxious as wheat owner * to get out , and except for the unexpected short coverings mentioned above , it seemed ns If the slump here would have been us sud den as in wheat. There was moro recupera tive power In corn for the time , and there was a fair reaction , hut another decline fol lowed upon the estimate of larger receipts for to-morrow becoming known. Part of the gosnip on the floor , and a very discouraging thing for holders , was the report' ' that there wcro 1,800 cars of corn on the Burlington road east of the Missouri river , nil headed for Chicago. May corn opened utOTc , sold early at 5T@r > 7.JKc , fell to fiGc , advanced to 57c , and then full to D5fc , reacted to fiOKc , and -again dropped to GSJfc , closing at ! % bid. .luuo corn sold down from COc to blc. and closed at I o'clock at 5-IJfo.
