Berlin correspondent says : " Tlie Other day when Prince Bismarck received from the Chief of Police the report stat- ing the failure of the last search in the 'HURON EXPOSITGR6 self-ppssession, although his equanimity must have been sorely tried, by the die- cordaut shouts that burst from the as- semblage at the most :inopportune mo- ments. During game of the most pathet- ic passages the audience was seized with fits of laughter, and in the heettorous sit- uatious some of the lunatics, appreciat- ing the state of affairs, -indulged in dis- cordant shouts, expressive of approbation, while others clapped their hands and stamped on the floor with an energy and vivacity wthich somewhat alarmed the performers. The enthusiasm culminated - however, when Harry Coke and his. wife began to thew the crockery and furni- ture about. This part of the performance seemed to find favor with all classes of the audience, and, indeed, roused the more excitable of the lunatics into a sort of hysteria. • house of the Count's mother-in-law, he flew into a violent rage, and with a her- rible impreca,tion.he struck his clenched fist upon the lock of the door near which he was standing with such force that his knuckles were covered With blood.' The temper of Prince Bismarck, never Very placid, has of late grown so bad that even t� those who ,k7now- him best and are most frequently with him, he' seems often to be not far from mad. Ever since he ordered Count Arnine's arrest, and was told that the rnissing letters could not be found, he has been in a constant. state of feverish irritation, which grows worse every day. Every one stands in awe of him—so that we he in a state of terror, for his, conduct, in this Arnim business plarnly shows thatehe would scruple at nothing. For sone reason only known to himself, he their washing.

Nathaniel lerKie, a foianer minister of Crossmichael in Galloway, whose ser- mons were much in the style of an easy conversation, interspersed with occasion- al parenthesis applicable to iudividual characters-, or to the circuinstaucee which arose •before his eyes in the church, said: one Sabbath morning, in reading a verse from the Book of Ex- odus, "And the Lord spiel unto Moses --L. steek that idoor. I'm thinking if ye had to sit beside the door yoursel' ye wadna be sae ready in leaving it open. It was just beside that door that Yedan (Adam) Tarnson, the bellman, gat his death o' caulk', and I'm sure henest-man he didna let it stay muckle open. And theLord said Unto Moses—put oot that doug ; wha is it that brings cloegs into the kirk, yaff-yaffin." ? Let me never see ye bring your elougs here ony mair, or Pll put yon and them baith oot. 'And the Lord said unto Moses'—I see a man aneath that left wi' his hat on. I'm sure ete're clear o' the sough o' the door there. Keep aff your bonnet, Thames e and if your bare pow be cauld, ye maim just get a grey worset wig like mysel' ; they're no sae dear'man, plenty o' them at Rob Gillespie's, for tenpence.' " He again began the verse, and at last made out the instructions for Moses in a manner more strictly in accordance with the text. -• • Reasons for Women Snioldng. There are some reasons why smoking would be an especial advantage for women. Their lives are usually made `up of an infinity of smell cares. They would find that a thousand petty troubles would. 'vanish in the cloud curline up from a good cigar. The departure of the cook three hours•before a dinner party would be viewed with less poignant re- gret if seen through a bluish gray haze of tobacco -smoke. Sorrow over a chimney that won't " draw" can be counteracted hy joy -over a cigar that will. Then, when the day's work is done and hus- band and wife are .sitting cozily together by the fire, a mutual smoke would bring them closer to each other, and would tend to create between them that hearty good -fellowship which is eow sometimes wanting. Popular prejudice forbids a woman to puff a cigar on the street or anywhere in public, but individual preju- dice keeps a good many men from doing the same thine. It is doubtful whether any one bas a right to pollute the• air of . place set apart for public use. But ni the privacy of home, or at the close of a dinner party, why ihould not both sexes indulge in the universal narcotic stimu- lant ? Would not the -ordinary chatter of society be changed into something better under the influence of the grave kindliness that is born of a quiet smoke ? And then, as a self -defensive _apparatus, as the heehawt often eats onions because the wife does, would it not be perfect? ---Chicago Tribune. Tho Sensation at Simpson's. May. Adder relates the followina : Down ing in the publication- of the letters would be punished for high treason. The. enemies of Bismarck are rejoicing at the pranks which he now plays, and they look fou with canfidence to his fall.' Peat; Three Thousand Years Old. In the coarse of late explorations in the ancientruins of Egypt, Gee, Ander- son, an 'English traveler, found inclosed in a sarcophaenS beside a mummy a few dry peas, whieh he preserved carefully, and, on his return to Great .Britain, planted in the rich soil of tie Island of Guernsey. The seeds germinated, and soon two. little plants appeared, from which, at maturity', sufficient peas were gathered to plant quite a large tract of ground in the following season. Some of the plants thus raised have attained. a height of over six feet, and . have been loaded with blossoms of exquisite 'Odor, and of a delicate rose tint. The peculiar feature of the growth is the stem, which is small near the yoot,• but increases greatly in size as it ascends; requeine support to sustain it uprig;ht. The poils, instead of being distributed- around all portions of the stem, as in the ordinary plant, are grouped about the upper ex- tremity. The ,vegeletble, it is said, be- longs to the ordinary garden variety, lint fromits presenting the very distinctive differences above noted; it seems worthy of close' botanical examination. The peas are of remarkably fine flaVor, ex- celling hi delicacy those of the choicest known varieties. THE HISTORY .of Bismarck's- coat of mail is given in an Austrian journal. It appears that in 1866 a young Hungarian baron visited Bismarck. and informed him that he had-ine ented a bullet-proof shirt of mail. He added that he Wore a Shirt of the kind, and requested .Bis - muck to test it. The Chancellor is not a man to be trifled with, and seeing he had not a fool before him, seized his re- . volver and fired ... five shots successively at his visitor. _ The latter remained un- harmed and immovable but the bullets struck him and fell to die around. Here- upon he showed his eiventien. It was a shirt of many folds sewn together. The elasticity and denseness of the stuff gave it such a power a resistance. ao*IIPP.„ A SMPLE PLAN OP ITEM LATION The following simple method for -ventilat- ing ordinary sleeping and. dwelling rooms is recommended by Mr. Hinton in his Physiology for Practical brae : " A piece of wood, three inches high and exactly as long as the breadth of the window, is to be prepared. Let the sash be now raised, the slip of wood placed on the sill, and the sash drawn closely Upon it. If the slip be well fitted there -will be no draft in eonsecmence of this displacement of the sash at its lower part; but the top of the lower sash will overlap the bottom of the upper one, and between the two bars perpendicular currents of air, not felt is draft, will enter and leave the room. --.111- • 101,--- ----- .
