Writing of the Crown Princess of Ger- many, whose silver wedding was celebrated recently, the London Times says : In leaving England the princess royal never ceased to be an Englishwoman. Of sunny disposition, bright-witted, vivacious in con- versation, she has always had a fondness for the peculiar characteristics of English life. and has shown a playful eturdinessjn as- serting it. Yet she has accommodated her- self to the circumstances of her adopte’d country, and has entered into .her duties as a German princess with a spirit which for- bade the mist rusceptiblo of Prussiana to look upon her as an alien. Count von Moltke, who himself derived affection for England from an English wife, well said of her : “ She has shown how one can love two countries, and be true to bothâ€"as she loves mother and husband." The wedded life of the crown princess, united to a man of gentle character and commanding abili- ties, has, indczd, in all respects been singuc larly happy. Eight children have been born to her, of whom six survive. Two of them are alred'lly' married, and have had children in their turns ; what is more, the educatiru of bcr sons and dOUJhtCIB has been to the princess such an engrossing concern tliatit may be said her children have learn- ed the best part of what they know from her. This is no more conventional phrase. There are princesses who are said to super- intend the education of their children when they rustic into the school'roomfor a few minutes over morning, flurrymg tutors and govcruos a and interfering sadly with lessons. The princess royal has always re- garded lessons as a. serious businessâ€"she could hardly do otherwise at o'court which is itself as a first class in one vast; national schoolLacourt where'no prince is snfl‘cred to be idle. .Anyonc who has noticed, the crown prince at a review of troops may have perceived that he does not attend such parades only to show himself off in no form. He watches the steps of every regiment as it passes ; he knows every colonel ! The evolutions favored by different generals are so familiar to him that he could tell with his eyes closed, by the more norsc of columns marching and wheeling, what officer is in command. The same attentivc~ ncss‘ characterizes him in the pursuit of private life. He studies as if he was about to publish a bark or pass a competitive ex- amination ; when conversing with natives or strangers, with eminent men or noncu- tities, be is more anxious to listen than to advance opinions of his own ; even at the opera, where he sits in a. large central box exposed to'thc full view of the audience, he appears to be pondering over every note he hours, as though it would be his busmess to use judgment on the performance by and by. For all this, no man could be less of o. pcdaut. A genial gentleman, with .quiet, polished manners, and n fatherly smile for those who come to him in friendship, he has in his eyes that ood-humored twinkle which reveals a. shrewrfknowlodgo of men as well as book‘s. ' , The lie of the princess royal in her homes at Potsdam and Berlin has been one ,of great simplicity. The Prussian courtis like tono other in the primitive ordcrhucss of its arrangement. Gala dinners take place at 5, ordinary dinners at 4 ; performances at the opera are generally over by 10, and the last dance at state balls is ended not long after midnight. These early hours, which'suif’. tho convouicnce‘of princes havingmrlrtary duties, have enabled the crown princess to , sit by her children daily while they took their morning lessons, 'to. learn what they learned, and thus to master subjects beyond the km of most ladies. For herown amuse- ment she paints, and paints well, listens to music. keeps herself acquainted with what goes an in England by reading English books and newspapers. and is not afraid to dip into revolutionary literature und try to find out what the Socialists of Germany definitely want. A courticr once expressed his surprise at hearing that her royal high- ncss had been reading some speeches by Hascnclavcr and Bcbcl, the pocialist depu- ties. “0h,” she said, with a brilliantflaugh, "I suppose one may fish for earls in any waters, but 1 have not foun any." And on another occasion she observed more scri- ously that she never rejected a new idea, however rcpulsivcly clothed, “lest she should turn away an angel unawarcs.’ The prince-53' tolerance has in truth bred in her a vigorous uziti nthy to intolerance wrth others. which a e displayed in a marked way when the court pastor, Adolphus Stock cr,'commcnc..d tho anti-Semitic agitation by a sermon culling attontiougt) the fact that there were forty-five thousand J ows‘in Bor- lin, and exclaimed : “Bus is: :u rial.” The ugly words nearly provoked bloodshed. The crown prince was much displeased, and took an early opportunity of rcproviug the pas- tor, whilo the princess, contrary to all court precedent, invited some lending members of the Jewish community to dinner. She also endeavored to combat the anti-Semitic craze with the most effective weaponâ€"that of ridicule-and this she used to do by relating vc merrily the story of u jolter-hcndcd jun ‘cr. who had rushed out in hot haste from llcrr Stockcr's sermon and commenced pommeling the first Jew whom he met in the street. “That’s for the affair with Judas, you know," he shouted as be ruined his blows. “Well, but it incurred eighteen centuries ago," screamed the Jew. “No matter ; l s nly heard of at just now," cried the champion of orthodoxy. ' Women and Journalism. Quito achsuge is taking place in the social aspects of the daily prrss. and it is a little curious that fewer womcu'arc employed upon it than was the case ten years ago,ssys a correspondent of the Boston ’l'imn. Then two, three, or four women were employed, ip a more or less regular capacity, upon nl~ most every daily newspaper in this city, whereas now rarely more than one has been retained, and the” mainly on personal grounds and by making for them special places. There are women contributors among tho "outsiders," who do special work and send it to the office, but iha number of women on the regular staff of the daily press is very limited. The causes of this changu are not far to seek. Men do not like to deal with worn-n in business. and there is a sense of reatrniptin the pmcnce of tro- men in to tobacco, talk, working wtth onlth and the like, which. in offices composed of twentyuien to one woman, he- cosnes burdensome. and is popularly not con~ sidered to pay.

D. Conway, in an account of a personal interview with Louise Michel in London. “that not only women but men have far more freedom .in in France. The republic ‘is lat-holy a delusion ; it fares no better W1t~11 the poor than under the umpire. She do 5 not wish that women should be enfrnncbised in France ; the men vote bad enough with- out the bpr of the women dependent on them. There has been, she says, a remark- able and steady decrease of the influence of the priests over women since the France- German war, but that emancipation has not gone for enough yet to entitle women to vote. The great work is to give them the freedom of all occupations ; to give them equal wages, to protect their earnings; then you can obtain the woman's real vote, and not merely one which doubles the vote of some. priest or master. She much admires Amcrica, and should have gone there this year, badit not been for the illness and dc- cline of her mother." Englunu tlrgn A Stage-Driver's Ruse. A Montana. stage-driver hit upon a. novel method of saving a woman’s life a. week or two ago. He was on the trip from Deer Lodge to Missoula, and the cold was so in- tense that the only passengers, a woman and her little child, were in danger of freez- ing to death. The mother placed all her wraps around the babe, and the driver saw that drowsiness, the first stage of freezing. had fallen upon the devoted woman. He put his coat around her, but her blood seemed to be standing still. Then he grew vn‘y harsh, seized the woman, dragged her from the coach and left her by the roadside. “Oh, my baby 1” the mother cried. The driver cracked his whip5 The stage flew over the snow, with the woman running after. The race was kept up for nearly two miles, when the driver took the mother in and again wrap cd his coat around her. By a. clever ruse to had warmed llcl‘ blood and saved her life. _-- ____.._. <â€" .â€" An Incident of Gambotta'a Downfall. A trifling circumstance rcndcrcd the situa- tion more tense. The Mayor of Bellevillc, a Gambettist, got up, in the interest of his party, a. popular bar-quot in the Lime Tree Garden at )Ienilmonxuut, the most demo- cratic part of his a1‘.’mltff.\‘a'c.llll')ll. The great orator was there to cxpluiu his policy, in a. way to meet the attacks which the press was beginning to make. 1n the invitations, of which about nine hundred were issued, the hour stated was seven o‘clock. This was understood to mean half-past. seven. But the dinner was not served unfil after hols-past eight. Gambotto. had not come. The landlord insisted upon not waiting any longer. Two places were kept vacant at the table of honor. At nine "the guest of the evening” and Spuller entered to fill them. Whether, habituated at the Palais Bourbon to the dishes of Trompette, they had grown too dainty for the plain cooking of Mouilmontnnt, or for what other reason, it does not appear. They had both dined withafcw friends at arcstaurant. They did not at the banquet even go through the polite comedy or pretending to eat. No apology was offered either at the time, nor afterward in the press; a polite fib, though a transparent one, would have calmed irri- tation. Punctuality, it was remarked softo race, was the politeness of kings; but the elect of the millions thought themselves higher than born sovereigns. The speech which followed the banquet was listened to with icy coldness. The orator went: back tothc l'ctit Bourbon heavy and discontent- ed. 110 had fof ten years given a mighty im ulsion in udcmocrutic sense.

Prince Bismarck has expressed his opinion of a strict observance of Sunday as a day of rest. ()ur American custom and the Eng- lish he pronounces "a terrible form of tyranny." The first time he ever set foot on English soil (at Hull), he said he remem- bered that he began to whistle in the street. “0h, pray do not whistle,” said his English fellow-traveler. “ Not whistle 3" Bismarck asked : “why not? Is it prohibited 3" “ No." was the reply, “ it is not against the law, but don't ym know it's the Sabballl 2" Bismarck says he was so angry at such in- tolerance that. be determined to leave the town at once, and so took the next steamer, which conveyed him to Edinburgh. What his experience was in the northern city the chancellor does not inform us. lht he went on to say that in general be was not an poncnt of Sunday observance. “ a landed proprietor," he docs all in his power to support the observance, but he “would not have people legally com lied to keep it ngiuly."

The old idea. of the great. majority of man ind. being sent into the world saddled and bridlcd to be ridden to death if neces- sary by the favored few who come booted and spurred for this very purpose, is getting sadly used up in those somewhat irreverent and demoralizcd days. Gustave Doro delighted in pantomime, and the performance of clowns he declared to be. the perfection of art. He went one night to a. circus in the Champs Elysees to see two English clowns who were being talked about, and was so disgusted with their vulgar actions that he. never again put foot in that house. “ One day I asked. him if he had ever heard of Fox, the American clown,” says a. correspondent of the Boston Herald, “and he not only replied that he‘ had, but aliowcd me several woodcut eu- grnvings of the man, which he had cut from illustrated journals. He had also heard of Dan Rice, and mentioned the names of other clowns that I cannot now recollect. The only minor peer who comes of age this year is the Earl of Nor-bury (Tory).

The kangaroo does not stand apart a tripod, nor make his vast leaps by spurning the ground with his tail. To prove this, a band of kangaroos obligingly crossed is since of wat sand in the presence of Mr. Nicolle, an Australian naturalist, and left exact impressions of their tracks. Only one occidental mark showed an impress of the tail upon the sand. though the great hind feet loft dec marks, some of which showed 20feet as t o avers e length of the leaps, which is believed to often exceeded. Mr. Nicolle believes, however, that the massive tail orms an important part in balancing the lv and brinuiug it to the point of de- parture for each uocessive stride, and, so far as can be observgi during the excitement of the chase, appears, by being swung to one side, to help the animal in making those sharp doubles which confound the best dogs.

The origin, growth and final success of any enterprise are cans-:5 for the greatest unlic interest, whether relating to public institutions or rivate ventures. The w rncontiuent as been especially murk- od y examples of this nature, and we are glad to record one which is so prominent as to beef universal interest. Several years since Mr. H. H. “'arner, residing inRo- cheater, N. Y.. became aware/that what be supposed was an iron constitution, was becoming rapidly undermined, and that something of a mysterious nature seemed to he napping his Vitals. ‘Al’. first the indi- cations were slight, consisting principally of frequent headaches, dull pains in vari- ous of the body, unaccountable las. situ o,and occasional nausea. He thought that perhaps those symptoms were the rc~ sult of a cold and gave them but little at- tention, but they increased and finally bo- came alarming. Consultation 'with two’ prominent physicians revealed the fact that he was suffering from unucuto attack of kidney discaso,and to say that he was alarm- cd would be only to partially express his feelings. Under the most careful attention of the physicians, however. he failed to improve and in fact grew worse constantly. His symptoms at this time were most seri- ous. The slight troubles which be had first observed increased and finally become in- tense. What originally.wcre simple pains the greatest agony. Occasional headaches and n l ck of energy eventually resulted in the pains and horrors which only such troubles can bring. It. was at this critical time that be heard of it tropical plant, ,which was rcputcd to be of great value in similar troubles. He had little faith in its power but resolved to try it, as nothing also seemed to in any way relieve him. He therefore ceased taking the medi- lcmo of the doctors, began the use of the article referrcd to and was aware in u very short space of time that it was greatly bene- fitting bin). Ho continued its use faithfully nudes a result became perfectly cured, has been one of the most active men in America ever since, and is to-duy a picture of perfect health. Mr. \Vurucr‘a experience caused him to thoroughly and most carefully investigate, and as a result he discovered that the major- ity of common diseases could be traced in their ori in to disorders of the kidneys or liver. T is was a revelation so startling in its nature that as a drity to humanity, M r. qurner felt impelled to make known to the world the great means by which he had boob saved. Up to that time kidney diseases had increased at the rate of 25 per cent. each year for the past half score of years, and were still largely on the increase. \thr the end in view above described, however, Mr. “rumor began preparing and_sclling the .remedy referred to, since which time the de- mand for it has been rmnarkahlo. In all the history of the world there is no instance on record where so grout a demand has been known as that at; present; existing for 'War- ncr's Safe Cure for all diseases of the kid- ncys, liver and urinary organs, and for solo in every drug store in the land; \Vcro the cpll for this remedy a fictitious one, mor- tality from kidney troubles would now be for the past few yours there has been a mark- cd decrease of deaths from this class of diseases, although the tendency toward kidney troubles is us great as over through- out the entire United States.

Not long after presenting this medicine to the American nblie, hlr. “’arncr intro- duced it into 'uglaud.

Strange unit may seem, this great mcdi- cino which has become so popular in the United States has never been introduced into Canada, owibg to the fact that the large amount of business coming from the demand prevented an extension of the field. “’0 learn, however, that Messrs. \Varucr dc Co. have just established a Canadian house at Toronto, for the purpose of supplying the demand which has already sprung up, and. our Canadian friends are to be congra- tulated on this fact.
