A “volley of stongs demol- ished the windows and the mob were about to complete its triumph by upsetting the glasses of the harmiesa eitizens who were enjoying their beer outside when a well known journalist calmly drew a loaded re- volver from his pocket, laid it on the tabie, beside him, and told the aggressors they might do as they chose with the windows, but if they dared lay a finger on his book, he would blow somebody’s brains out. The mob did sot disturb the beer drinker further. When the excitement about the strike was at its height two policemen were patrolling the Rue de Abre when one suddenly fell to the ground, exclaming, “I am killed.”” His overthrow was produced by some joker who had thrown an enormous slab of ginger at him and the guardian of order had mistaken it for a paving stone.

The plot is laid in the time of the terrible tribute and closes with Danton’s execution. In spite of the 1epulsive character of many of the inci- dents in the play and the fact thatit was played by a scratcl company, the drama had a cordial reception, The author, however, was so dissatisfied with the actor wh « played the part of Danton that for a moment he vowed he would act it himself.

For instance, as showing the mmnute care used in all military matters, a new sad- dle has been invented which was thought worthy of introduction into the army. As a final trial a squadron of fifty cavalrymen are now taking u four weeks' ride through Prussia under the personal command of a general. They ride forty-five miles a day under the same conditions which would pre- vail in actual warfare, and of course test their saddles as they could be tested in no other way. In addition to soldiering, the emperor found time for showing his characteristic traits. He dislikes the police, and on Tues- day, when several important business streots were closed fo traffic because of his expected approach, he showed his strong disapproval by suddenly changing his route, leaving the police stranded with no one to protect. He =eems to believe, too, in all the external signs of an empire, including even the colonies, so that his long interview with Lieutenant Wissmann, the celebrated African traveler, which was at first thought to indicate a Stanley rescue party, is now taken as indicating some big move of annex ation or improvement in Afri Americans have taken this week an unus- ual amount of space in the German papers. General Sheridan is noticed in hundreds of obituaries, always with the most kindly feel- ing forhim asa man and a soldier. This, too, in spite of the bad feeling he created towards himselt in Ger- many by certain criticisms on Von Moltke, That other famous general, In- spector Byrnes, of New York, is also running through the press, not in obituaries, but be- cause of the robbery in his summer house, which is regarded as a joke. This robbery of the detective chief seems to amaze the aver- age German editor almost as much as Mayor Hewitt's ducal kissing did. Carl Schurz's ap- pearance at the dedication at Metz of the Kaiser William monument naturaliy makes him more than ever prominent here among the small fry Americans. Eloa Elias, the seventeen-year-old daughter of the late New York brewer, Henry Elius, created a local sensation in Cassell by her reported elopement with a waiter. She had 1,000,000 marks in her own right, and was therefore regarded too high game for a man who the day before had been thankfully taking 2-cent tips. They were caught and separated at Queenstown, but the cruel mother may relent. It is said that two young Americans, whose names were suc- cessfully concealed, also had an experience in Berlin, They were seeing the German elephant, and after a costly evening, paid their bill in gold which had a bad ring. They were arrested s counterfeiters, They created much suspicion by showing check or- ders for 1,000 marks. Finally the gold was tested and proved good, and they were kicked out of the station, so much subdued by police attentions that they were glad to get off ut any price.

The same fate was shared by several conspicuous marine residences in the vale of Clyde. Adrossan was the next vise ited and roughly handled. On the cast coast matters were still worses On Tue morning Aberdeen was bome barded by four lines of battle ships belongs ing to Admiral Fitzroy’'s squadron, Procceding south the hostile fleet sailed up the Firta of Forth to Forth bridge, which they are considered technically to have de- stroyed. They then put about and steamed down St. George's channel at a rapid rate. Tyunemouth and Sunderland were the next objects of attention by the hostilo fleet, but the foe appeared. Scarborough was then shelled and laid in ashes, The fast cruiser, Hand Fly, carcoring around Queenstown, captured two Cunarders and an Inman, reutly to the astonishment of the third-class On Thursday Liverpool was bombarded and only saved by paying £1,000,000 ransom, nwhile Admiral Baird and Admiral w effected a junction to pursue the es- caped squadrons, and finally came up with them in time to prevent the supreme catas- trophe—the capture of London, So far it has been proven that, once at large, an encmy's cruisers, judiciously handled, can fill the whole coast line with alarm and inflict at certain points enormous and destruction to mercan- tile shipping. A catalogue of the places which have beem shelled, bombarded, laid m ashes, or laid under contribution, would be well caleulatea to rouse patriotic anxiety in the most apas thetic John Bull.
