AN EVENTFUL LIFE. '
The life of the aged Emperor embodies
much of recent European history.. He
was born in 1797, on Maroh .22nd, the
second son of King Friedrich William III.
ot Prussia, and of the. Princess Louise of
Pleoklenburg-Strelitz. Educated as a
soldier, he took part in the blooay cane
paign of 1813 and 1814 Cagainet ..Napoleon
Bonaparte. He has had his life attempted
onaevetal occasions, and he has also had
swab viceesitudee in his career as appeared
likely at the time of their occurrence to
preclude the poidibility of his ever occupy.
ing his present high position. He was
made Governor of the Prussian Province of
Pomerania in 1840. During the revolution
of 1848 he was a refugee in Beguiled.
Circumstances favoring his return to hie
own country, he became Commander•in-
Chief•of the Prussian army, and saw active
service in that capacity in 1849. Ten
years afterward saw him Regent, in cone.
quenoe of the mind of his brother' (the Ring)
giving wig. Poisoned of an imperious
turn of mind, he soon quarrelled with the
Chamber of Deputies,and 1[1'1862 he saved
the country from civil war and laid the -
foundations ot that power which has since
made him the greatest spvereign of the con-

Troops in the Soudan.
• The seat of war in the Soudan is peseta,
°ally an unknown country. Although
travellers have frequently passed through
the Eastern Soudan from Sulam to Berber
on the west and Ramis, on the south, the
country has not been surveyed, either tmer.
the coast or further inland. Consequently
the exact position of villages and wells,
whither the British forme are about to pro-
ceed is not definitely .known. .Even Sinkat'

Ben Butler's Nerve. '
Speaking of duels reminds me that Ben
Butler is descended in part from the old
Gilley neck, and Was hence' related. to the
Jonathan Gilley who fell in the noted
„Graves.Chlley duel. Butler -would have
made a duelist higiselthad he been born in
a State and at a time when the code 01.
honor held good. But bean -eating Massa-
chusetts never fights duels, and Butler's
nerve has had to be expended in- other
wave. A notable instance of this 000urred
in 1856, when Ben Butler was a young
practitioner at Lowell. The Buthanta
campaign was in full progress, and a greet
meeting was being held in tbe largest hell
of the city. Itufue Choateethe great lawyer,
was addreesing the meeneg and hie elo-
quence had thrown them into , the wildcat
enthusiasm, when a jar was felt and
a crash was heard. The ory went
forth, "Tho floor is sinking." Every
one turned pale and the audience rose for a •
stampede, when Ben Butler IMMO to the
front of the platform' beside Mr. Choate,
and calling the audience to halt, said there
was no danger ;• thee the architect. of the
budding was present and that he would go
with bim and examine the building and
report to allay their fear& Tbie quieted
the audience. Butler 'said :the ambient
ruade an imniedisae examination Of the hall
and found the -danger very, great. Thaler
at one returned and smilingly tenured the
audience there was no present danger, but
as the hall was overprowded he advised
them to quietly adjourn to the 'Public'
Square and there Mr. Choate would finish
-his speech. The crowd went quietly .• out
and the catastrophe was averted. -As
Butler stepped on- the platform' he hid
whispered to Mr. Choate with a half laugh,
in order to deceive the audience. . This is
whet he said, ailidr. Choate, I mint °leer

Descent of the Dude.
The introanotion of the modern slang
word "dandy " as applied, half in admira-
tion and half in derision, to a fop, dates
from 1816. John Fiee (0 Slang Dictionary,"
1823) says that Lord Petersham was the
founder of the sect, and gives the peculiar!.

mense plaited pantaloons,, coat out away,

immenee, bet small, -hair frizzled and pro.
truding.". There is a good picture of the
" Feehionable Fop" in the Busy Body for
March, 1816, but the word "dandy" is
not used. Pierce Egan; in bis edition' 01
Grose, 1823, says the dandy, in 1820, was a
fashionable nondescript -men who wore
stays to give them a fine ehape, and were
more than ridiculous in their apparel: •
" Now a Dandy's a thing, dentibe him who can
That is very much nude in the shape of a man
But if but for once could the fasbicur prevail
He'd be more like an Ape -If he had but a tail.'
The dandy of 1816 24 was, intfeet, the
old macaroni depicted in. the London
Magazine for April, 1772. The dandyof
1816 led to eeveral other applications of the
word, such usa " dandizette " and "dandy -
horse," or velocipede. Of this latter Bee
sayie(1823) ; "Hundreds of such might be
seen in a day. The rage ceased .in about
three piano, and the word is becoming
obsolete." The • word " dandy ", has
certainly not become obsolete,. but after
1825 its meaning gradually changed. It
°eased to mean a raan ridiculous and con-
temptible by his effeminate eccentricities,
oame to be applied to those who were trim
neat and careful in dressiug. according to
the fashion of the day:

store and sleep under the counter. If you
are a young phyroician, don't expect to make
it all in thefirst year. Your father' rode

law, remember that the old attorney whose
office you are 'sweepuig out wore white
hair, and not much of that, _before he began
taking whole farms for single fees in small

didn't spend gamey cent of it as fast eathey
got it. If you want to work hard clear
