L, Out1 Hundred and Fifty-sev-SBth Indiana, arrived here today, having aeeg honorably discharged on account of sickness. Private Hire was sick when the first call for troops was made, and he left a sick hed to join his company. Soon after reaching Chickamauga he was again prostrated, and his ailment was diagnosed as appendicitis. After several weeks he recovered sufficiently to rejoin his company, coin? to Port Tampa City, where he again was on the sick list. For the past month he has been gradually growing weaker, and he was very weak on bis arrival at home. He reports that Privates George Wills and Frank Had ley, of Company L. are in the hospital -it Camp Thomas and unable to he moved. Home physicians hare grave feara thai Hire will not recover. i'ropertv That EaerpJfl Taxation. Maiion. Ind. County Assessor Winilow. of this county, has compiled onie interesting statistics which are Ol especial interest to men who pay taxes on real estate and personal property. The significant disclosure is that while there are seven banks in the county, which report aggregate deposes of $1,42,555, the total amount of cash returned for taxation by taxpayers is bat 1259,729. The difference letween what the banks report and what the taxpayers return is more than the assessed value of the personal property of the townships of Mill. Sims. Richland. Fairmount. Washington. Pleasant and Jefferson. With this amount of property escaping taxation in this county, a little arithmetic will give an Idea of the amount of property of the ?eme kind in the state that probably scapes. frowned in the (irand Calumet.

! KAISER'S TWO SONS.

THOUSANDS CRIED HOCH:" WHEN CONFIRMED. ' The N: :w Social Somber Incident UTilcti Kxplalna s tlhlarlty of Genua Empire Hofeeasollera' B-iaj Living uu the Hier of William I lie Fourth. iSrr-cial Letter.) Ü he the sen of a great man always is embarrasstner, even when the f?reat man is content to achieve greatness along conventional line-. How much more em harrassing must it be to the sons of men whose rreatness is as variegated and sensational as is that of Wilhelm, the kaiser or I'nited Germany? His two sons bar a hard row to hoe. They cannot hope to rival their respected parent in his many roles, for it is given to few people to be great in so many ways. They will have to potter along as best thc (an. and the most that they can expect is to live in history as his sons. Even in appearance the unfortunate princes are far behind their remarkable father. Is it conceivable, lor instance, that either ever will be able to raise such a wonderful mustache as adorns the face of the kaiser".' It is such a mustache as only an ahsolute imperialist of a harbor could have designed, and it shows that, should a revolution unhappily force him to seek another trade, he would open a shop as friseur and become a king of barbers by sheer merit. Wilhelm s muta c combines artistically the form of a blocking brush with the expression of feudal autocracy. Nobody could wear it with proper bearing except an emperor or a waiter. The two princes do not look as if they could carry it off correctly, so it may be that the Wilhelm mustache will die out with him. And if so notable a thing as his mustache cannot be perpetuated by a monarch, what chances await his policies? And if anything happens to his policies, where will the two princi ! land? However, that is speculation. At present they are fairy book boys. When they ride out thousands of peoSONS OF THE (Frederick.) pie take off their hats and shout "Hoch!" They mean it, too, when they shout. If they sit down and discuss the beauties of republicanism over their beer afterward that does not belong in the fairy book. The two princes were confirmed a few days ago in Potsdam. The public was not admitted when the "eremony took plate, but thousands of loyal Germans stood outside and wailed patiently till the royal personages emerged from the church. Then the loyal folk cheered and the great people drove away This is the kind of thing that cements the blocks in the bulwarks of the German empire. Of the two, Wilhelm is the crown prince. His brother is Prince Eitel Friedrich. "Eitel" means "vain." But it is an exclusive name and not so inappropriate when one thinks of the prince's father. The confirmation was done with a great deal of pomp, although only 70 persons were invited to attend. That establishes a new standard, by the way, and the four hundred will not now seem to be so exclusive a number. An empire that contains only seventy persons who are eligible to witness such a ceremony either must be hard up for good lOCiety or extremely recherche in its standard. The confirmation was in the church In which King Friedrich WTilhelm IV lies buried. Over his tomb there was spread a great red cloth, on which were C a purple velvet seats for th? two princes. Near them were purple cha'.rs for the imperial family, and behind them were the seats for the seventy guests. After praying at the tomb of Emperor Friedrich III the princes were confirmed. Then they left the church, and the faithful public were permitted to look at them. They are nice, well-behaved boys, and the public cheered with pleas ure and went home full of enthusiasm, well content to pay taxes for the support cf so satisfactory a family. Thus, the beautiful sentiment of loyalty to ruling houses makes everybody happy. The Hohenzollerns get a good living out of It, with easy hours, and the public has something to cheer about at reasonable Intervals. An aw' ward man is always getting on a woman's trail.

CHINESE CHARACTERISTICS Strane Idcai of Economy. PoliteneM and ratitu.de. The spirit of economy in the Chinese race transcends all that can be imagined, says the St. Louis Republic. The ginallesj parH.-ie 0f matter is utilized. The C:d C&St-Off account book of the merchant is cm into pieces and oiled to serve. Instead of glass, in windows or lanterns, a oolie who has a six hours' march with a heavy burden will return to his point of departure without having broken his last, in order to save the two cents his breakfast would have cost away from home. Nothing is more curious than to see them eat. although with their famous chopstick they do not perform all the wonderful feats generally supposed. Everything is served them in bowls, or saucers, and with the chopsticks they raise the pieces of meat or fish to the mouth with sufficient grace. Each one has a bowl of rice, which he holds near his lips, and with the aid of the chop-sticks he pushes the contents into his mouth. It is curious to see them pick up with their chopsticks the grains of rice that fail on the ground. The children arj taught this art from their earlies: years; nothing must be lost, not even the smallest grain. Europeans regard politeness as an expression of those qualities of the heart which render the person who desires to be polite agreeable to those with whom he is thrown. The Chinese look upon the matter from an entirely different standpoint. The same sentiment which accords importance to the preservation of dignity regulates his actions as regards politeness. Here is an example of their politeness. A Chinese arrayed in his most beautiful costume, who presented himself at a house, disturbed a rat which was enjoying himself in a jar of oil. The rat in his flight overturned the jar upon the visitor, whose dress was ruined. While the unfortunate visitor was still pale with rage, his host entered the apartment, and, after the usual salutation, the visitor explained his misadventure: 'As I entered your honorable apartment I had the misfortune to alarm your honorable rat, vhich, in taking flight, overturned your honorable jar of oil upon my miserable and insignificant clothing, which explains the contemptible condi tion in. which you find me in your honorable presence." To determine your conduct when a Chinese offers you a present is the most difficult thing in the world. Certain things are not ofEMPEROR. (William.) not be refused peremptorily. In a general iaanner, nevertheless, one may ccept understanding perfectly that the gift must be returned a hundredfold. Seovel, a Notoriety Seeker. A group of army officers at the Ebbltt house were discussing last evening the case of Sylvester Scovel, the correspondent, who is at present under guard for striking Maj.-Gen. Shatter in the face on the day the American flag was hoisted in Santiago. "Scovel," said one of them, "has got himself in a predicament which will cause him to pass some uneasy hours. He is. indeed, in a plight more serious than many people would think possible. Any follower of an army no matter what his occupation, whether enlisted as a soldier or not. is by the precise language of the law amenable to the same discipline to which a soldier is subject. The penalty for striking an officer is death for the offending subordinate or such other punishment as a court-martiM may direct. As Scovel stands exactly on the same plane as though he were an enlisted man, the statute is applicable to him. "It isn't probable that the fellow will be shot, though in most European countries after such a break as he made, he would be. in the language of Mr. Matalini, a 'demuition corpse' Inside of twenty-four hours after the perpetration of the outrage. What I think ought to be done with him is to keep him on bread and water for a week and then have him drummed out of camp. He evidently craved notoriety by his wanton assault on Gen. Shafter, and it ought to be seen that he gets it ad nauseam." Wash in gt on Post. Too Much for Her. Gertrude "How are you getting along with your Spanish lessons?" Itilllcent- "I've had to give them up for the present. My teacher has nervous prostration." Gertrude 'Why, how did she ever come to get that?" Ifillicent "While riding down town In a stieet car the other day she overheard a young man pronouncing the names of some of those Cuban towns." The Vornrlon Caterpillar. A caterpillar in one month consumes 6,000 times its own weight in food.

THE BICYCLE HEART. In a former number of the Youth's Companion a warning was uttered to parents against the those of the wheel by young children who are ignorant or careless of the evil effects whir h overindulgence is sure to produce sooner or later: but children are not the only ones who are in danger from h cause. There are many older people who are doing themselves lasting injury, and 'undoubtedly shortening their lives, by straining the heart through foolish and criminal excess in the ose of the bicycle. Century runs are now such common and every-day affairs that one scarcely dares (all himself a wheelman who has not made many of them. Yet there are few. even of seasoned riders, for whom a journey on a wheel of a hundred miles in a dayis not a dangerous excess and a certain tax on the heart. We have described in a previous ;.r tide the cycling neurasthenia which comes sometimes from a repeated slight overtaxing of the strength. Another much more serious result of the abuse of the bicycle is the injury done to the heart. This injury is of two kinds, the acute and transitory, and the chronic or permanent. The acute trouble appears suddenly in answer to a strain by an unseasoned rider. It may take the form of heart failure; the victim perhaps falls from his wheel in a faint while straining up-hill or against a high wind, or while scorching to keep up with others. The sufferer's pulses throb, he pants for breath, his hands are cold, his face is pale and covered with a clammy sweat. The heart may recover its tone after a short rest, or it may remain Irritable for months, the pulse being irregular and heeoming very rapid with the slightest physical exertion or mental excitement. After several attack of this son. or more commonly without any such providential warning, the heart begins to thicken in order to accommodate itself to the greater amount of work it is called upon to perform, and now the rider is becoming "seasoned." In the case of a sensible person who rides for pleasure and exercise only, there is no harm in this "seasoning": the enlargement is not excessive because the extra work demanded is not excessive. Put the punishment for senseless overexertion is appalling, because it is final and irremediable after a certain point. The wheel, like many another good thing, is an excellent srvaut, an in comparable aid to health, hut it is a terrible master, a death-dealer.

HARVARD'S NEGRO GRADUATE. Miss Alberta Scott ie the first negro girl to be graduated from the Harvard annex. Her classmates and the professors of the institution hsve congratulated her in the warmest terms and in the literary and the language club of Boston her achievement of the &L A. degree has been spoken of with high praise. Miss Scott is but the fourth Student of the negro race to attain this honor at the colleges for women in Massachusetts. Two received diplomas from Wellesly and one from Smith college. They ;;11 came from other states. Miss Scott is 20 years old. She was born in Richmond. Va. Her mother was one of the famous cooks of the plantat irn country. The Scott family had lived in a picturesque shanty on that part of an old estate willed to them after the civil war. When the girl was years old the family sold their plantation home, moving to Cambridge, where they still live. Graduating from the common schools in Boston. Miss Scott's teacheis spoke so encouragingly of her work that the girl was determined to have a college education. She paid particular attention MISS ALBERT A SCOTT, to the study of languages and literature and she is now a fluent linguist and a member of the Idler and German clubs. She has contributed con siderably to college and New England journals. Miss Scott will leave her New England home and return to Dixie- for it is her ambition to teach in some of the high schools for negroes. Very Clone to Ud The war comes very close to us tfhen our own sons or the sons of our friende depart for service on the other side of the world. In our present war the best manhood is represented la our army and navy, the recruits are not bounty men or mercenaries. Many of them are the sons of Christian patents, who let them go in the carrying out of what they deemed a sacred duty to their country. It is more than merely a martial spirit when a mother lets her son go to the front and peril his life for his country. The Evangelist.

Enriques, marOUis oi (.Yrralbo. Mr. CorUna, the rep resents tire of Don Carlos m America, has predicted the success of the novement in a brief period. It cannot be denied that the trend of events tends to sustain this prediction. This being so. the personality of the man who must be repanied as the coming man of the peninsular kingdom is of gr at Interest. Marquis Cerralbo is a grandee of the first class, a distinction of paramount importance in Spain. He comes of a line as ancient as any in the land where ancient lineage is a boast. His family boasts of one member who has been canonized as St. Dor.inic. the founder of the monastic order known is the Dominican fiiars. etablinhed .r f MARQUIS DE CERRALBO. (he 13th century. Riches and high rank have been the attributes of the family for more centuries than many nations an reckon of life. The present head of the faniiB ii still a comparatively young man. having been born in 1851. He studied law, but has never Indulged himself in the practice, preferring literary and political life to the dull routine of litigation. He is a member of many of the learned societies of Europe, has written a number of historical pamphlets, and is regarded as a man of great erudition. While he took no part in the field operations of the Carlisis in 187.176. he and his family have always been sympathizers and active ones in the legitimate cause. He has been the bead of this cause in Spain since 18SL'. and is the choice of the pretender for the office of prime minister. In that year he succeeded 3r. Nocedal. editor of the Siglo Futuio, as the legitimist leader, the latter having become very unpopular with the younger and more ardent spirits in the movement. By birth and tradition he is fitted for the position. He is a native of Yalencia. capital city of the province of the same name, where the fires of legitimism are smoldering. Nothing but fear of the military power and the civil guards prevents an outbreak there, and a small success anywhere else in the kingdom would speedily rouse this province to revolt. During a portion of the Vinter months the marquis lives in Madrid, and is an attendant at the court, but he prefers his ancestral palace in Yalencia to any other residence. This palace is one of the most magnifieent in the country. Its walls are rh h In splendid paintings h'Ru!)ens, Salvator Rosa. Annibal Gamed and QaldO Reni. which make it a place of exceptional interest to students of art. large variety of archaeological carloa, prehistoric vases. Christian relics dat ing back to the first i enturies. Etruscan and Byzantine vases, sculptures and pottery from the pala es ofthe aboriginal rulers of Peru and Mexico appeal to the antiquarian and historian. He has a collection of over 27. Odo rare coins and a magnificent library llled with rare treasures. As he is a Carlisr. the marquis s also a most devout Catholic. His saintly relative and the order founded by him also add to the zeal of the grandee. His chapel s this palace is renowned ;s the most splendid of all the private chapels in :i bUSd where stub things are part of the national life. There is a splendid painting of St. Dominic in this chapel, before which the marquis prostrates himself every morning to implore the aid oi Ins canonized kinsman to gain the blessings of heaven on the house and the cause of his master. Don Curios. The marquis is a widower and hildless. He was bereaved of his wife two fears, she dying without leaving an heir to the great fortune and name. What lie MS.
