BISMARCK AND CRISPI.
The Friendship Existing Between tbe Two Men of Irou. The close friendship between Crispi and Bismarck, which is of 20 years' standing, is one of the most remarkable relations I know and is sufficient proof of Crispi's value. Crispi is accused, but only by peopia who do not know hini, of aping Bisiuarck, but a glance at any of his portraits will show that nature had provided tho similitude before either knew the other.
The type of character is the same. The strongly marked jaw, the spacious brain, the eyo that looks you through like a lance and yet is full of affectionate welcome at need, and the expression of inflexibility in pursuit, are common to both, as is also the high appreciation of authority and discipline, but beyond this there is little resemblance, and their political ideas differ entirely.
Crispi has been accused of being dictatorial. In his ofiieial relations he is peremptory and exacting, and his ideas of government aro imperative, but no Italian minister has ever done so much to put power out of the hands of tiio ministry as lie, or has shown so scrupulous an adherence to tho letter of tho constitutional law. He is a democrat ot the strongest dye, but the king has never had a minister so absolutely deferential to him as head of the state, rarely one so profoundly respectful to him as tho symbol of law and the seat of authority.
Tho conception of a dissension botween him and tho crown is impossible to anyone who knows him, and this his majesty recognizes. Crispi has the fidelity and tho individuality belonging to his Skipetar blood, and all its wild independence Bismarck, the overweening masterliness of his Prussian stock. They aro alike in their patriotism, but as unlike as possible in their way of understanding it, as in their relation to their sovereign. —Century.
ASLEEP ELEVEN YEARS.
A Girl Frightened Into Slumber From Which She Has Never AVakeued. Tliero is a girl named Marguerite Bouyenval at Thenelles, in the north of France, near St. Quentin, who is reported to have been asleep for the past 11 years. A good deal of doubt has been thrown on this phenomenal slumbering case, not only in Paris, but also in Thenelles and its vicinity, where there are two camps, one of the believers and the other of those who maintain that the so called sleeping beauty rises at night and has a good supper. The matter has been investigated by a Parisian, who has seen tho girl and found her as lean as a skeleton and as stiff as a corpse, but still living. Her mother injects milk, peptono and sometimes wino through a broken tooth in tho girl's mouth. Marguerite Bouyenval made away with a baby 11 years ago, and the gendarmes wore sent to her house. Tho girl was so frightened at their approach that she had an attack of hysteria, which lasted several hours, and at tho end of which she fell into a trance. Tbe doubts thrown on tho continuation of tho trance havo evidently been caused by the fact that tho mother of the sleeping girl has made a good deal of money by exhibiting her. A local doctor, who has observed tho case during tho 11 years, informed tho investigator from Paris that Marguerite Bouyenval had really been asleep during tho whole time. Occasionally she had hysterical cries, but did not awake after them. Other doctors havo also agreed as to the genuineness of tho phenomenon, and tho sleeping girl of Thenelles remains a human mystery.—Paris Letter to London Telegraph.
Lebanon County English.
"Tho most beautiful girl I ever saw, either in face or form," said the bachelor doctor, "was over in the good old Pennsylvania Dutch county of Lebanon. I met her at a party and fell in love with her even before I knew that she was worth $100,000 in her own right and before 1 had boen introduced to her. The moment I saw her I resolved to try to win her. Iwas dead gone. I couldn't rest until I was introduced. "An embarrassing silence followed the introduction. I had expected a friend at the party and hadn't seen him. I broke the embarrassing silence by asking my enslaver if she had noticed whether he was present. A flush deepened her cheeks. Her beautiful oyes grew brightor. Teeth of matchless white gleamed between her red lips as she opened them to reply. And this was what she said: 'I haven't saw him yit. I guess he hasn't come already.' "That was good Lebanon county English, but somehow I didn't try to win the girl."—New York Sun.
Philosophical.
Sir William Hamilton, who was appointed astronomer royal for Ireland at the age of 22 and who discovered quaternions, kept a headstrong horse, and on one occasion mounted him in Dublin just as a mathematical problem had suggested itself to him. The horse took a mean advantage of the rider's abstraction and ran away. When I found it impossible to stop him," the philosopher said, "1 gave him his head and re^turned to tho problem. He ran for four miles and stood still at my gate—just as the problem was solved.''—San Francisco Argonaut.

SOME HOPS IN THIS.
Business Prospects Are Bright From This Report.
R. G. DUN:S REVIEW OF TRADE.
The New Loan Has Met With Surprising Success, and Great Confidence lias Been Given to Investors on Both Sides of tho
Water—Tlie Begiuning of a Ke il ltecovery. NEW YORK, L'\-b. 23.—PT. G. Dun & Company's weekly review of trade says: The surprising success of the new loan and the great confidence it has given to investors on both sides of the water and to business men liere encourages mauy to hope that it may be the beginning of a real recovery. In 22 minutes here subscriptions are suppo-cd to have been at least live times the amount, of bonds offered and in two hours at London they were times the amount there offered.
Considering the power which the coulrolof these bonds give to regulate foreign exchanges and to prevent exports of goid, the transaction lias indeed greatly changed the financial situation in spite of the fact that government revenues are still deficient, and that domestic trade shows scarcely any gain as yet. The industries are not enlarging production, nor have prices of farm products improved, but a very important source of apprehension and hindrance lids, for the time at least, been removed. \Y hear fell to 5G cents last Saturday and has recovered to 57, only a quarter below the price a week ago. while corn, cotton and pork are unchanged and hogs and lard a shade lower. Western receipts of wlAjat are nearly as large as last, year, though for three weeks about 40 per cent, smaller, owing to the storms. The exports are a litrlo larger than a year ago, and yet are not large.
Cotton has refused to advance, though there has been much talk about curtailment of acreage this year and receipts have sharply decreased. The decrease was apparently owing to the unprecedented weather at the south, and tho market is more influenced by the certain over supply for the next six months
ftvfir
thiiii by the possible shrinkage in yield! ir f' /rr next fin. As the market for
sood«
dull here and abroad the fact that yisi-
ble stocks of American aro about 300,000 bales larger than ill 1892 at date justifies expectation that the surplus carried over will be large.
Dealings in iron and its products aro moderate in volume with some discouragement in most branches, though structural works at Pittsburg are very bo.and demand for wire nails and barbe wire has never been surpassed. Bu. nothing is doing in rails, plates are quiet and bar is as low as ever, though in rather better demand for car works. Sales of pig have boen moderately largo with one transaction at Pittsburg of 10,000 tons Bessemer at §10, but prices do not improve. Tin is weaker at 13.3 cents for February the Calumet and Hecla has reduced its price for copper to !).9o cents, the January output being 11,094 tons and the foreign 7,144, and lead lias declined to 3.1 cents, while tin plates are lower with large arrivals.
Textile products show few changes but those downward. Cottons are meeting an indifferent dwmand and New York mills 4-4 bleached have been reduced to 1-2 cents and Lonsdale 4-4 bleached to 3-4 cents and in cheaper goods and brown sheetings prices are irregular. A better demand appears for the finer prints, but fancy calicoes are quiet and there is only the average reorder bu^i.iifw.s for dress xls. In light weight woolens the reorders continue later than usual and the preliminary purchases of medium and low heavygoods art larger than a year ago, some mills having business until April, while in the higher grades there is more promising demands.
The termination of a strike at Philadelphia sets more carpet mills to work and the demand is fair, while in dress goods little is doing. Sales of wool at the chief markets in three weeks of February were 15,722,050 pounds, against 18,010,800 two years ago.
Tho failures, for this week have been 30.2 in the United States against 288 last year and in Canada 30 against 51 last year.
Pittsburg Ironworkers in St. Louis. ST. LOUIS, Feb. 23.—A number of new men from Pittsburg were put to work yesterday in the spike mill at the Tudor iron works. They were sent here by a man who is still in Pittsburg endeavoring to induce more men to work at the Tudor. Manager Hanpeter says that the new men are all skilled workmen, also that the bar and guide mills will be put in operation in a few days and that he will have plenty of men to work them.

General Oglesby Improved. ELKIIART, Ills., Feb. 23.—Ex-Gov-ernor Oglesby's condition is much improved. His physician says, the relapse difference of was due to a slight attack of heart failure caused by too much exercise after tho governor's serious illness of last week.

Three men boarded the train at Mar tin ville, five miles east of Aurora, getting on the blind baggage. When about half the distance between that p1 and Aurora, they crawled over render, and covering Engineer iiieusoii and liis fireman with revolvers, commanded them to stop the train. Tlien they marched back to the expresscar, one of the robbers telling them that if they did not break open the expressear door, both of them would be shot.
The door was soon opened and the robbers made a search for the express messenger, but did not succeed in iinding him, as he had made his escape through the door in the rear of the car, locking it after him. After making a thorough search of the car and not nnding anything and not having anything with which to open the sate the bandits escorted the engineer and fireman back to the engine and disappeared in the darkness, hmig several shots us they departed, and winch I were answered by the conductor and brakeiuen.
