JTheBealYiswof the Situ loa Concealed No Danger Feared Yt The Reichstag and the Cereal Bill. Eeblin, December 10. Copyright, 1SS7, by the New York Associated Press Tha preamble of the new German Military Strvice bill was issued to-night. It abounds in plaia speaking regarding the armiea 'which Germany must calculate upon facing on the field of battle. It 83is forth that the German army la composed of men whose liability to serve in the active rmy extends over twelve years, whereas in the Kassian army the period is fifteen year, and m the French twenty. Besidea thii it must be considered, rays the preamble, tl at the geographic positions of Germany eipose hex to attack by powerful armies on two frontiers simultaneously. In the face of this threatening dinger there still lacks a firm foundation for the Assured existence aad development of Germany. Her security lies in ber strength, and this should be greater than it is at present. An end must be put to the existing unendurable condition of things. The government, therefore, expects that to secure tbe passage of the present bill it will be cufheient to appeal to the patriotism of the German people, who desire that the Sutherland, after being united, shall be preserved in its Integrity. By the bill before the Reichstag the six yearly classes formerly composing a part ot the Landsturm are placed la immediate readiness for any dangerous emergency. The increased cost of administration involved in augmenting the number of men Who have to answer roll call will not exceed 150,000 marks, Bavaria included. The non-recurring expenditure incurred in providing new papers for the men or in modify ids old papers, is estimated at 250,000 marks, including Bavaria, and for tbe tavy, to meet the cost of new arms, uniforms and equipments, further measures are in contemplation. The whole tane of this remarkable manifesto suggests that the recent outburst ofthe official press oyer the masking of Ras Bian troops on the frontier had something of a factitious character. Prince Bismarck is known to have greatly hurt tbe chances for the immediate passage of the LandBtrum bill, which the military pres3now estimates will add 500,000 men to the effective force in the event of a mobilization; so the press campaign, recalling tbe similar agitation precedirg the septennate vote, was incited and will be sustained until tbe bill passes. Although tbe Government's motive In fomenting a Ruis'ari Bcare is palpable, there are abundant reasons wby the country should be kept on the alert toward Russia, The reports of tbe concentration of Kassian troops on the frontier at the present time are Incorrect, bat the movements recorded in these disputes three months ago resulted in placing on the Austro German frontier 192 infantry bat talions, OS squadrons of cavalry, and CI batteries of artillery. Those movements 'were part of a Jong concerted plan of the Russian war office. While progressing they were not held as an immediate menace either to Germany or to Austria, but were considered to be necessitated by the special difficulties of Russian mobilizing. This -view tbe German Government la still disposed to admit. At the same time the presence of formidable masses of Russians within striking distance of the frontier will be held by the Reichstag as a justification for the complete reform of the military. No real fear exhists in either Berlin or Vienna official circles that Russia will venture upon an aggre-. at ve movement. The present alarm, besides assisting the pasage of the military bill, will restrain the Rossi an war party. The Czar still oscillates between the party of peace and the Panslavists, and the present agitation will influence bim to understand the danger he runs in listening to councillors hostile to Germany and Austria. The CologneJGazette to-night again sounds the alarm in a telegram from Pestb, stating that the Minister of War has ordered the local authorities immediately to forward to bim lists ot the horses available lor military service and the vehicles capable of use in the event of the army being mobilized next year. On the other band, the Peether Lloyd, in'a pacific arf.cle, invites Russia to state her policy regarding Bulgaria., relying upon the disposition of the allied powers to meet Eusvian views and to maintain peace with a loyal observance of treaties. The paper concludes that the powers are not disposed to be stric tiers about persons or empty formalities. The article coincides with the belief held in high diplomatic quarters that Germany and Austria will compel Prince Terdlnacd to abdicate if Russia will bring forward a suitable candidate for the Bulgarian throne. CEEEAL DUTIIS BILL. . The action of the committee of the Reichstag on tbe corn duties bill justifies the surmises that the Government proposals will ud dergo important modifications. After the re jecticn of the first paragraph to-day. tbe committee approved tbe second part? raph and amended the proposal made "by Dr. Windthorst yesterday by adding a provision that claims for exemption from -the increased duty on cereals imported before March, 1818, must be sent in four 'weeks after the publication of tbe law. "Until the work of the committee is farther advanced it will be impossible to predict with accuracy the ultimate form of the measure. T e attitude of a section of tbe national Lib r&Is in joining the op position to increase duties has disss pointed the government and leads to the expectance of a reduction of the proposed tariffs. Business suffers from the uncertainty as to the fate of the bill, and the committee has been urged to accelerate its deliberations. After the aged and invalid worker's bill las been passed, the government proposes to follow It with a bill dealing with tbe prolorged hours of labor of women and r K t 1 A ret To-night adviees from St. Pettersburg renew the reports that M. Wychnegradski will retire from the finance Department, and that he will be succeeded by M. Nicol ai efl, who is a member of the Imperial Benate. Other ministerial change are impending. The forged dispatches to the Czar will not be made public until he euects reforms in his council and completes the changes id his ministry. It is believed in official -circles in Berlin that tha Czar's assent to the disclosure of the names of the offenders ."Will cot be long delayed. The National Zeitung announces that the 'arrangements of the Sechandlang to estab lish a German-Chinese bank are prosper ing favorably. T Karvlvors of the Schölten: f New York, December 10.

EDGAR POE'S "THE BELLS."

The Story of How That Krratte Genius I euntd One of Bis liest Poems. I Ann Arbor (Mich.) Correspondence Boston TranscripLl Mr. John 8. Hart, the writer, some years ago, in a letter to tne bew York Tribuns, made the statement that the 83ng ot "The Bells" was first published in Sartain's Magazine, a Philadelphia monthly, for November, IS 19. At the period mentioned, Mr. Hart was editor of the periodical in question. The poem was left in his hands for publication several months previously, and t tbe time consisted of only the following stanzas: The bells! hear the beMsl The merry wedding bells! How fairy-like a melody then? swells from tbe silvery tiDkilDg ceus Vi the Dens Dens te is Of the bells! The bells ah tbe bells! The heavy Iron bei is! Bear the tolling of the bells! Hear the knells! How horrible a melody there floats From their throats From their deep-toned throats! How I shudder at tbe notes From the melancholy throats OI the bells-bells bells! Of the bells! Certainly Mr. Hart's account of the first appearance of this famous song is entitled to much consideration; but long before his stoiy was made known to the world, the following history of the first appearance of this as it now stands masterp'eca of the gifted Poe I read in an old newspaper which fell into my hands, and I take pleasure in giving the narrative to the reader as 1 recall it after the lapse of many years. It was during the early portion of November, lM'J. I think, that a young lawyer, who had but recently begun the practice of his profession in Baltimore, was fitting late one eve nin before his cheerful lire in his office, indulging in a deep reverie, when he was suddenly aroused from dresmlard by a loud knock at his outer door. He called to his colored servant boy, who was dozing on a low stool in the chimney corner, and sent him to answer the call from without. In a few moments tbe boy returned, saying there was no one at the door when he opened it, but in the moon 1-ght he saw a gentleman standing in tbe middle of tbe street, all aloae, who appeared to be talking to himself, while at the same time be was wildly gesticulating with his arms The young lawyer arose, and, followed by tbe boy, went to the door. As he opened it aid looked out, lie observed a gentleman standing on the sidewelk, whose attention was at once tamed toward bim. 'Did yon kneck at my door?'' inquired the lawyer addrssing the stranger. "Yes, sir," was tbe la'ter's reply, In a pleasant tone. "And I trust yoa will pardon me for disturbing you at so late an hour. I should not have done so had not eojxe thoughts come to me as 1 was passing along, which I very much deMred to put on paper. Observing your light I ventured to mock at your door to obtain permission to enter your office, where I might,through your kindness, be allowed toma paper on which to jot Cown what wa Tsin' in my mind." ' Certainly, xon are at liberty to walk in and make yonrself at home," said the lawyer, The strareer followed tha latter to his room, and the lawyer, placing some writing material at his disposal, at the same time efferins hfm a seat at tbe table, remarked that he would retire to his private apartment for the night, but he (the stranger) was very welcome to remain as long as he en ose, and, should he desire any thing lurtber, his Bervant would wait upon him. And, bidding the stranger good night, he passed to na adjoining room. A few moments after tbe negro boy dropped down on his bunk in a corner of the rcom. and in a short time was fast asleep. The stranger, sitting quietly at the table, wrote on and on, until at length, grown weary, he too, laying down his pea and bowirg bis bead upon the table, fell into a ctep slumber. Early tbe next morning the lawyer awoke, and his first thought being of the stranger, he hastily dm si a. himself and opened the door Itadipg to his office, where, to his great astonishment, he beheld his priest ot the previous night still sitting where he had left bim hours before, hia head resting on the table and be fast asleep. Bat the slight noise occasioned by the opening of the door awakened the stranger, who quickly ;risiDg, apologized most profusely for remaining so long, remarking that, being greatly fatigued the previous night, he had unintentionaly fallen asleep. His friend would pardon him, and extending his hand to the lawyer, he turned to go. "But you have neglected to take what you have been writing about," said the lawyer, stepping forward to the table and taking up several sheets of paper covered with beautiful chirography, "Ob, no, sir," returned the stransrer. "I bave left that for yon in token of your great kindness to me. I have a copy of what I have written. Good morning." The lawyer examined the contribution which the unknown gentleman bad left, and found it to be a lyric of most captivat ing beauty and power, entitled simply "The Bells." Bnthis surprise was deep ened when, at the close of the singular poem, he read the author's name Kdgar Alien roe. AN OUTRAGEOUS AFFAIR. A Gang Drag a Man Through a Creek and Over the UioudiI Face Downward. English, December 10. Special. Last night the stoie of Burgess & McCary's was hrnkf n into and the ninrpjitrnw rnh. bed. About half past 11 o'clock a number of low down scoundrels went to tbe depot of the L.E. & St. L. R.R.. and entered the passenger room, where Mcholas Kiersch was very comfortably located for the night. Mr. Kiersch is a harmless sou), but was seized by the legs and dragged face down ward over the platform, a distance of about 100 feet, and down a stair way of several feet and thence to the creek, an additional distance of about 125 feet. They then dragged him through the creek, and reversing their coarse dragged him a distance of 150 feet. Duricg the dragging Kiersch was stripped of his cloth Ing and left to die, but luckily John Cle ments, of liirdseye, came to this place on the 4 o'clock train and happened to find Mr. Kiersch in his horrible condition, and at once proceed ed ,o the residence of W. II. Toney, wno lived nesr by. and procured clothing and shelter for him. It ia stated that during all this brutish treatment Mr. Kiersch beg ged piteoutly for mercy, but to no effect. Tbe people of this place are very lndig nant over the matter, and are firm in their belief that some of the guilty ones are known, and some arrests will be made which will, in all probability, result in serious trouble. Mr. Kiersch is the most horrible looking akht ever witnessed by your correspond ent, and this brutal act cannot be laid to tbe doors of White Caplsm, for the acts committed pre of such a low nature that the White Caps should surely be ashamed ot themselves. The act was committed by men who are too low to be countenanced

as human beings.

THE POESY CORNER.

Ob, Come and Help Me Out.' Harper's Bazar. There are some folks who ot advice Will never take a bit, Though see and rire experience UtT often offer it. And yet when they in trouble get, For aid they loudly cry. And aid expect from any friend Wno chances to be nigh. "Take care," you say. "this road la full Of hollows hereabout." But -n they go unheeding till You hear ihem splash and shout, "Oh. desrt I've fallen Into one; Pray come aad help me oat." Now it's my firm opinion tbat If they were let to tay Awhile where they bad placed themselves Twould be tbe better way. For then, perchance, when struggling hard They reached dry ground once more, They'd listen to the voice of those Who'd gone that way betöre. But iust as loiift as some pond soul. Forgetting sneer aad flout. Runs to their rescue, just so long, I haven't any douot. Such folks as these will tall in holes, And cry, "Come help me out." A Dear Little Schemer. St. Nicholas for December. There was a little daughter once, whose feet were oh. so small ! Tbat when the Christmas Eve came 'round, they wouldn't do at all. At least she said they wouldn't do, and so she tried another's, And folding her wee stocking up, she slyly took her mother's. "I'll pin this big one here," she said then sat before tbe fire. Watching the Mipole. dancing flames, and shadows darting by her, Till silent'y sba drifted off to that queer land, you know, Ot "Kowber in particular," where sleepy chilaren go. he never knew tbe tumult rare tbat came upon tbe roof! She never heard tbe patter of a single reindeer hoof; übe r ever knew how Some One came and looked his shrewd surprise At tte wee foot and tbe stockine: so different in size! She omy knew, when morning dawned, tbat she was safe in bed "It's Christmas! Ho!" and merrily she raised herprettr bead: Then, wild with glee, she saw what dear old "anta Claus" had done. And ran to tell the joyful news to each and every one: "Mamma! Papa! Pleuse come and look! A lovely doll, and all!" And "See now full the stocking is! Mine would have been too small. I borrowed this for Santa Claus. It isn't fair, you know. To make him wait forever for a little girl to grow." Love is all. Courier-Journal. We two in fever and fervor and glow Of life s hieb, tide nave re Diced together: We bave loosed out over the glittering snow And know we are dwelling in summer weather: For the seasons aie made by the heart, I hold, And not by outdoor heat or cold. We two in tbe shadows of pain and woe, Have journeyed together In dim, dark places, Where black-robed Sorro wiked to and fro, And Fear and Troubld with phantom faces reered cut upon ns and froze our blood. Though June s fair roses were all in bud. We two have measured all depths, all height. We have i.ataed la teari, we bave sunned in laughter. We have known all sorrow and all delights; Theytnevercoald keen us apart hereafxr. Wherever your spirit was sent I know I would defy. ear in, or heaven, to go.

Tbe Baby and the Soldiers, Chicago Ledger PiOuth and ready tbe troopers ride, Oreat bearded men with swords by side; They have ridden long, they have ridden hard. They s re travel-stained and bit tie-scarred; The hard .aroundihakea with their martial tramp. And ctarte Is the laugh of the men of the camp. They reach a spot where a mother stands, With a ba y clspplug its Utile hands, Laughing aloud at tbe gallant sight Of the mounted so.dlers freh from the fiirht. The captain laughs out : "I'll give you this, A band full of gold, your baby to alas." Smiles (he mother: "A kUs can't be be sold, But gladly he'll kiss a soldier bold." He lifts np the babe with manly grace, Abd covers with kisses its smiling face. Its rosy cheeks, and its dlmpled-cbarms. And It crows with delight in tbe soldier's arms. "Not all for the captain." the soldiers call; "Tbe baby, we kuow, has a kiss for all." To the soldiers' breasts tbe baby is pressed By the strong rough men, aud by turns caressed: And louder it laughs, and the mother fair, bmllei with mute joy as tbe kisses they share. "Jnst such a kiss." cries one trooper grim, "M hen 1 left my boy 1 save to him;" "And just such a kiss on tbe parting day I gave to my girl as asleep she lav." uch were the words of the soldleJS brave, And their eyes were moist as the kiss they gave.

DeakSister Cathetinb in apologizing to you for my slotbf ulness in not answering your last communication sooner, I can only say that since your letters are often received by us crammed in a box with goods for the store they ar necessarily kept from us for a time; but, for the future, pap has deemed it best, as his man ia usually at the station, to have bim bring the mail direct to us, which I hope will prevtnt the u ual delay.

Laboring Men Sent Awav to Starre. St. Louis. December 10. The GlobeDemocrat prints an article to the effect that thousands of laboring men are sent from Bt. Louis to points in the South and Southwest by the various labor bureaus or employment aeencies to starve, and that paper cites two places, Helena, Ark., and Carter County, Mo., where contractors have forces at work, to which places the men are sent with promises of plenty of work and good pay. Men who have been able to get back say that there is not enough work for one-half of the men, and that most of the laborers are in a starving condition, many of theru being compelled to cell their clothing to buy food. Tne contractors take advantage of this misery to reduce wages. Inquiry at the agencies show tbat many laborers are being sent to those points dally, notwithstanding the fact tbat there is no work. The agents say that they bave orders for the men and are obeying instructions. The Globe-Democrat accuses the agents and contractors of being In collusion. Those who are trying to break up the baneful habit of intemperance will experience great benefit from the use of Prickly Ash Bitters. Liquor derange, tha ayatem. Prickly Ash Bitters will remedy the evil result and restore the brain, stomach and liver to healthy action, thereby strengthening the will power, thoroughly clecBiDg and toning up the system and remove every taint of disease.

I live? at 241 York street, Jersey City, and on arriving home one night I found a ropy ol the Prester Almanac that had been left during the üay. iTead the article, "What Is this Dlseaso tbat Is Coming Upon Us"? It described my symptoms and feeliugs better than I could If I bad written a whole book. My trouble was indeed "like a thief In the night," for it had been stealing npon me unawares tor years. I sent for a bottle of Shaker Extract of Kots, or Pelgel's Pyrup, and before I had taken onehalf of it I folt the welcome relief. In a lew weeks I was like my old seit. 1 enjoyed and digested by food. My kidneys soon recovered tone and strength, and the urinary trouble vanished. Iwsswcll.
