The Emperor.

THE sympathies of the civilized world have been fully aroused by the sad case of the Emperor Frederick ILI. of Germany. Born to one of the greatest inheritances of earth, endowed with excellent mental gifts, w rmly loved by his people, inspired with, the idea that he had a great work to do for them and fer the world,—cut off in the midst of his years!

The Emperor was born in the year 1831, and was married in 1858 to Victoria Ade- He

second

laide, eldest daughter of our Queen. of the Prassian army in the victorious campaign of 1866, and head of the third army in the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-71. The de- cisive victories of Weissenburg and Worth were gained under his generalship. He took a brilliant part in the great triumph culminating at Sedan, distin guished him- self duringthe siege of Paris, and fairly won the baton of General Field Marshal,

was Commander-in-Chief

which was confided to his care at the end of the campaign.

Opportunity for the development of his statesmanlike qualities was not afforded him; for before he reached the Throne the fatal disease had seized upon his throat that his mind was occupied almost to the last with

and laid him low. It is known a scheme for the enlargement of the consti- tutienal freedom of the German people. The hopes of Germany were centred in him. But the King of kings has called him to a higher sphere.

The “Patriot” and the Fishery Outrages.

THe Patriot hopes that those guilty of

the recent fishery outrages may be punish- ed ; and says: ‘* The whole affair is but a

display of that ill-feeling caused among the people by the determined efforts of both Governments to prevent

free intercourse

between Canada Even the Patriot—practiced in the arts of falsehood— would find it difficult to invent Since 1878 the Government of Canada have had on record a standing offer of freer commifercial inter- course with the United States. When, only a few months ago, the Government of the United States notified Canada that certain articles of Canadian exports had been placed upon their list, the Parliament of Canada promptly placed the like articles list. The Government of Canada suggested the appointment of a Fishery Commission unrestricted of Reciprocity to the United States plenipotentiaries ;

A band of people under the name of White Caps has been organized in South Eastern Indiana, and has for some time past been taking men and women, old and young, who have been guilty of misde- meanours, and tying them up and whipping them. In many instances over three hun. dred stripes have been inflicted upon their victims with hickory switches. In more than one case the sufferer has died and many have been grievously beaten. These ‘** White Caps” are unfortunately not very discriminating in their selection of offend- ers, and punish people for small delinquien- cies with as much rigor as they do for the most serious offences against morality; con- sequently the inhabitants consider the society more of a burden than a_ blessing. An English newspaper, speaking of the ** White Caps,” likens their proceedings to those of a band ,of Moslem fanatics who, years ago, used to fall upon any of the faithful found guilty of smoking tobacco or other unsatisfactory practices, and gave them a sound drubbing; and this they called ‘* purifying their hides.”

At one time every great man numbered among his household a Jester or Fool. The custom has gone centuries ago, and survives only in the clown of the circus, whose dis- mal jokes are so wearisome to listen to. But in old times the jester’s position in grand households was an enviable one to many, and shrewd and clever and witty many of them were. The king’s jester or fool was a member of the English Court at a very early period. An old writer remarks: ‘* With respect to the antiquity of this cus- tom in England, there is reason to suppose that it existed even during the period of Saxon history; but we are quite certain of the fact in the reign of William the Con- queror. An almost contemporary historian, Maitre Wace, has left us a curious account of the preservation of William's life, when he was only Duke of Normandy, by his fool Eoles. Mention is made in Domesday Book of ‘ Berdic, the king’s jester.’” In 1652 the king’s fool is described as wearing a long coat and a gold:chain. It is pro- bable that Muckle John, the fool of Charles 1. and the successor of Archie Armstrong, was the last regular personage of the kind.

The Lord Mayor’s state fool was compelled on Lord Mayor’s day, to leap, clothes and all, into a large bowl of custard.

Candidates who are so young that they do not attain the legal age during the interval between the annual examinations are not admitted. —=——

Nearly every one knows that time is kept on board ship by ringing bells, but very few understand how the bells are sounded to tell the hours. Light bells (the highest number) are rung at noon and every fourth hour afterwards. Thus they are sounded at 12, 4, and 8 o’clock. For all other parts of the day an even number announce the hours, and an odd number the half-hours. Thus: 12} is 1 bell, 1 o'clock is 2 bells, 1} is 3 bells, 2 o’clock is 4 bells, 24 is 5 bells, 3 o’clock is 6 bells, 35 is 7 bells. Again, 44 is 1 bell, 5 o’clock is 2 bells, 54 is 3. bells, 6 o'clock is 4 bells, 64 is 5 bells, 7 o’clock is 6 bells, 7} is 7 bells. ~ Again, 84 is 1 bell, 9 o'clock is 2 bells, 94 is 3 bells, 10 o’clock is 4 bells, 105 is 5 bells, 11 o’clock is 6 bells, 11} is 7 bells. Or 1 bell sounds at 124, 43, 84; 2 bells sound at 1, 5, 9; 3 bells sound at i}, 54, 95; 4 bells sound at 2, 6, 10; 5 bells sound at 24, 64, 105; 6 bells sound at 3, 7, 11;7 bells sound at 33, 74, 114; 8 bells sound at 4, 8, 12 o’clock. +

There is no word which has such a strangely metamorphised meaning as pres- tige. Prestigie, from which it is derived, means juggling tricks ; hence, the French fora juggler is prestidigitatewr. We use the word for that favorable impression which results from good antecedants. The history of the change is this: Juggling tricks were once considered a sort of en- chantment : to enchant isto charm ; and to charm is to win the heart.

224 208 184 616 The weather was fine, with a strong, gusty, rear cross wind, which made high scores very difficult to obtain. The match was carried out under similar conditions to those which govern the Kola- pore cup match at Wimbledon. Each man of the winning team receives a badge. These badges are triangular in shape, hav- ing a raised gold border ; the centre of green, bearing on it a maple leaf of gold, across the maple leaf the year in silver ; on the bottom angle of the triangle, the initial letters of the winning team ; across the top the word Maritime. The trophy competed for is now being manufactured in London from designs furnished by Elk- ington. The design chosen is that of an old-fashioned silver gilt bowl, with ebony base. To this will be attached four silver shields, three bearing the provincial coat of arms, and the fourth to be engraved from year to year with the name of the winning association. It is to remain during each year in the possession of the winuing association. i Not Gone to Rome. A RECENT REPORT AS TO REV. MR, MATURIN RECEIVES CONTRADICTION,

A few days ago a special cable despatch from New York announced that the Rev. Mr. Maturin, rector of the Episcopal Church of St. Clement, Philadelphia, had joined the Church of Rome. Hearing that he was in England, a correspondent of the New York Herald visited the Society of St. John, at Cowley, not far from Oxford, where he was said to be a guest and reports : St. John’s is a small, unpretentious, red brick building on the high read. Entering it 1 found the corridors and rooms filled with carvings and paintings illustrating ecclesiastical history. I was cordially re- ceived by the Rev. W. R. Benson, founder and head of the Society. His clean shaven face, sedate expression, and flowing black robe presented a rather mediwval clerical appearance.

‘*And so rumor has it that Father Maturin has gone over to Rome,” he said, smilingly. ‘* Well, your enterprising paper may contradict it. What's more, he has nv idea of going over. He is simply in England on a six months’ holiday, and at the end of that time he will return. He came here for his holiday simply because this was his home before he went across the Atlantic. At present Mr. Maturin has left here on a visit to friends. We here belong to the Established Church, and are under the Bishop of Pennsylvania. It is true that we call each other ‘ father’ here, and are, perhaps, somewhat ritualistic.

The Steward Sues the Captain.

A Boston despatch says:—P. J. Wetzel, up to August, 1887, was the steward of the good ship Ariadne, a British brig com- manded by .Capt. Patrick Trainor. But the cook and his skipper failed to agree to an extent leading to a personal encounter, in which, it is alleged, the captain used such powerful physical arguments as pound- ing Wetzel’s face. However, the latter deserted on the vessel arriving in Boston, after a voyage from Natal, and, it is claimed, induced several of the crew to follow his example. As he did not obtain his wages, he has entered a suit to recover the balance of $200, claimed as due him. The answer is a general denial, and also that the plain- tiff's desertion caused the defendant great inconvenience and pecuniary loss. The case is being tried in the third session of the Superior Civil Court before Judge Steadman.
