The colored people living in Berlin held ft festival in that city recently which attracted many of the prominent people of the capital. One of the best speakers made an address, as became a good adopted citizen, in eulogy of the German Emperor. Negroes in the fatherland, have reason to be content with their lot. They are received on an equality with whites, and are often called "brunettes."

CHICAGO. ^ G R O C E R I E S London's Lord Major has to put on thm suits of clothes on taking otlice. lie wears a wide-sleeved, velvet-faced, fur-trimmed robe of purple silk rep on presenting himself to the Lord Chan­ cellor at Westminster; this he uses af­ terwards as a police magistrate. For his show he wears a robe of superfine scarlet broadcloth, faced with sable fur and lined with pearl satin; this lie must wear when greeting the Judges at the Old Bailey and on All Saints' days. The dress for evening and for­ mal receptions is of black damask satin robe, embroidered with silk gilt. Under these he wears a velvet coat and knee breeches. The robes are a perquisite of the office and cost $1000. The chain of office has on it diamonds worth $(>00,000. and each Lord Mayor must give bonds for its safe return on receiving it. When the Queen passes through the.city a fourth robe is neces- sftry, but, as that-seldom happens, it is bought only when the occasion arises.

In New Zealand, the old-fash­ ioned methods in use in most other whale fisheries have been abandoned in fa\or of nets, which are now used for the capture in those waters of these Itviathians of the sea. The nets are made of 2-inch mauila rope, and are so constructed that galvanized iron rings take the place of the knpts in the ordinary nets. The mesh is a ti-foot one, and the ropes forming it are spliced into the rings. The nets are made in six sections, each ten fathoms square, with two 10-gallon barrels as lloats to each section. When setting the, net, the sections are joined to­ gether with line just strong enough to bear the ordinary strain to which they are liable to be subjected, so that when a wliah\ gets meshed he tears away tlu>,w»ction in which lie is fast. While lie is trying to get rid of the net. the whaleboats, which are al­ ways waiting, dart alongside and harpoon him.

Self-Propelling Carriages. An exhibition of "horseless carriages" was made recently at Tuubridge Wells., England. It served rather -to show the variety of attempts that have been made to solve the problem of self-pro- polling vehicles, than to bring forward any remarkable novelty. Almost all the "automobile" machines exhibited have been described frequently. The English papers are laughing ajt the act of parliament regulating the use of such machines on commo'n roads. It forbids a rate of speed for them greater than two miles an h6ur; and requires them to he preceded by a man carrying a red flag as a Signal of danger. Left Its Trace.
