w f r f I r I SYMPATHY WITH EMPRESS VICTORIA. THE SCENE AT THE END. The Life and AchieTements of a Popular frinoe. WARRIOB, STATESMAN AMD SOVEREIGN THB DBAD KMPKROR. Death came to Kmiwror Frederick at a oomparatively early age for one coming of the loQU-lived family of the Uobenzollerna. He was bom in the New Palace at I'ots- dam on I8th October, 1B81, and he wai therefore in bis 67lb year. In lu« boyhood be was sickly, bat he grew to be a strong and robust yoan^ man. In 1857 he attended the opening of the first great International Exhibition in London, which was devised and carried out under the aas pices of the Prince Consort. One result of the exhibition which the Qaoen and the Prince Consort had scarcely toraseen was the be- trothal of their daughter I'riocess ^ ictoria to I'rinee Frederick William of Prussia. It ia obvious from the very cool way in which Prince Albert writes of the event to his friend, Baron Btockmar, that the match was not thoa;{ht to be a very grand one, though, on the whole, <juite satisfactory Prussia was not the power in 1851 that it is now ; and the House of HohenzoUern now the most illostrions in Europe, was then judged by the pitiful [>olicy of its two last representatives on the throne, who were content to play second fiddle to the £mperor Nicholas of KuiiBia. What ap- peared to reconcile the bride's father to the marriage was bis ubHervation that the young people seemed to like each other and that the young UohenxoUern bad " honest eyes and a frank and amiable disposition." It was not until Ih.o.'i, however, that the en- gagement was made public, and the way it was received by the English press of that day would scarcely now be credited, if it were not a matter of history. The J'itnci particularly distinguished itself by heaping abuse upon the royal house of Prussia. The wedding was postponed, on account of the extreme youth of the bride, until January '.iotb, 1M5H. It took place in the chapel of Bt. James' I'alace, London. After the ceremony Qaeeo Victoria embraced ajii kissed her danqhter and son-in-law, and turned her check to the letter's father who bad ro8i>ectfully stooped to kiss her hand. When the young couple embarked •t Oravesend in the royal yacht Victoria »nd Albert, there was an enormous con- course of people, wlio were wildly cheering, and even the river was covered for miles with boats, from which innumerable handkerchiefs waved a last good-bye to " the fair rose of England." Particularly •musing to the Prince was a homely and disrespectful advice freely imi>artod by the Bailors and Thames boatmen who crowded •boat the royal yacht. " lie true to her now," one honeal fellow called ont. " K«ep her well," another shouted. "Ood bless TOO for it," was the greeting of a third. The railroad journey from lirusselsto lier- lin was a triumphal progress, full ol inter- esting incidents. lUK WiJl WITU AUSTUU. As Crown Prince, the late Emperor iook pert in three great wars â€" the I'aaisb, Austrian and French. In the firat-namod, however, he was only a siiectator attached to the headquarters of Marshal Wrangel. His first leadership was given to him in the Austrian campaign in IHIiti. In that war the main thing to do was to prevent the forces of Houth Germany joining with those of Austria that had biien gathered in Bohemia. King William led three separate •rmies, the lirst called the Army of iiohe- mia, 1U0,00U men, under Prince Frederick Charles ; the secaiid, the army of Hilesia, llC,U0Omen, under the Crown Prince; the third, the Army of the Elbe, 40,000 men commanded by Herwarth von Uittenfeld. Moltke's plan was " March separately ; â- trike combined ; " and in seven weeks the war was over. On the 'J3ri of Juno Prince Frederick Charles crossed the Austrian frontier, and six days later he was joined by the Army of the £lbe. They were at Oittsohin. On bis left the Crown Prince, with hie army, was nt Koeoiginhof, a day'liuarubaway, while the Aostrians bad retired on Koeniggratz, ready for battle. The plan of attack was very simple. Prince Frederick Charles, with his three corps, was to assist Ueiie- deck with his five, while Uittenfeld was to fall upon the left flank of the Anstriaus •nd the Crown Prince attack their right. Unt the Crown Prince was 2.'i miles away, •nd it was 4 in the morning before Col. Von Frankenstein, after a terrible ride, ar- rived at the Crown Prince's beadquarturs with the King's command to join Prince Frederick Charles. The battle began at H o'clock in the morning, the King, Multke •nd Uismarck being on the field. The needle gun worked terrible havoc among the devoted battalions of Austria, but they kept their ground, and for a long time the â- cales of battle hung pretty evenly. For a time it eeemed indeed as if victory would rest on the standards of the Ilapsburgs, •nd the Prussians looked for the coming of the Crown Prince as eagerly as Wellington bad once looked for the ooming of lilucber. " Would to God the Crown Prince would oome I" Huddenlv liisinsrok lowered his glasses and drew attention to certain lineu in the distance. All telescopes were pointed thither. At first the lines were pronounced to be farrows. " They are not furrows," aaid Dismarok, " the spaces are not w]aal ; they are advancing lines." It was the Grown Prince's army that had been de- layed by the condition of the roads, which ttie rains had made all but impassable. Only twenty-live miles, but it took the army nine hours to do the distance, and the Crown Prince lost 2") per cent, of bis men through exhaustion by the way. The Crowu Prince lost not a moment In getting bis forces into action. Violently assanlteil on both Uanks, and fiercely pressed in the oentre, the Austrians began to slacken their (Ire, to give way and then to retreat. The battle was won, and the honors of having decided it were the Crown Prince's. Bis- marck himself admits how critical was the evening, the Grown Prince met the King, who embraced bim affectionately, and decorated him on the field with I'russia's highest inilitary order, " Four le Merits." That meeting has become as historical as that of Blucber and Wellington. TIIF. riUNCO-OKnMAN WAR. " Unser Fritz's " part in the Franco- German war is almost too well known to bear repetition. As in the Austrian cam- paign, the Uerman forces were divided into three armies, under the command of General Steinmetz, Prince Frederick Charles and the Crown Prince. Under the Crown Prince's command were the two Bavarian army corps and three Prussian ones, one division of Baden, one of War- temberg and two cavalry divisionsâ€" over 200,000 men. Ue had the honor ol striking the first blow by falling upon the French at Weisseinbur^ on August 4th, and two days later assaulting MacMahon at Worth and causing the Duke de Magenta's hosts to tumble back partly upon Btrasbarg and partly upon Chalons. Totbe Crown Prince was given the duty of pursuing the Duke de Magenta towards Chalons. With him co-operated the Crown Prince of 8axuny, at the bead of the Fourth Army, and be- tween these two armies marched the royal headquarters. Ue arrived at Sedan in time to close up the ring formed by the German army on Ist Beptembcr, and was with the Emperor on the hill when Baron de Baelb, Napoleon's aide- de-camp, arrived with the letter from the Emperor expressing his willing- ness to sorrender his sword. On the lot lowing day he assisted at the celebrated meeting with Napoleon at the Chateau de Bellevue. From there he pressed on to Paris, making his headquarters at first at 8t. Germain and later at the villa " Des OmbragCB " at Versailles. " Unser Fritz" was immensely popular with his men, and especially with the Bavarians, and of his popularity many amnsing anecdotes are told. After the war the Crown Prince took prominent part in the triumphal entry of the Bavarian troops into Munich, where ho was greeted with each immense enthu- siasm that King Lndvig waa greatly offended, and at the bancjuet given in the KathhauB the same night failed to put in an appearance. The young dreamer was already far oO on his way to his mountain retreat at Uobenichwangen. The Crown Prince waa also present at the triumphal entry of the Prussian troops into Berlin, and eat beside bis father, surrounded by the brilliant group of princes and generals who watobed the victorious troops passing down the Unter den Linden. On the death of Kaiser William in Maroh last the Crown Prince succeeded him aa Frederick the Third. But for some montba before his accession to the throne he himuelf had been in the shadow of death. It is not necessary tu enter into particalara regarding the disease which has proved fatal. Suffice it to say that be bore bis sufferings like a hero. In private life the deceased was to all appearances a happy man. Ills home life, even when in good health, waa one of great simplicity. He took a pleasure in receiving artists, litterateurs and savants, even those who were inveterately opposed tii him in poli- tics. Uis own politics were those of a moderate Liberal. He was invariably oon- Bultbd by Kiuperor William and the Chan- oellor in matters of grave inlportance. The Bismaruk policy of jMiaco with I'^rance^ and which haa for its ultimate end the entente tordiale between the two countries, was known to be warmly approved of by him, though it was no secret that he differed from Bismarck with regard lo the latter'a taateforabaolutist methods mhome affaira. The deceased showed a greater fondneaa for travel than for inilitary page- antry, l>eing in this respect totally different from most members of the IIohen/.ollern family. History presents few figures more melancholy than that of Frederick, ascend- ing the throne in his prime, but with the death-rattle in bis throat. " There was a time when his friends imagined a very different career for him," says Max Muller in the Coiitemjioranj linieic. " They be- lieved that he might succeed to the tbrone in the very prime of manhood. His father, the late Emperor, then Prince of Prussia, had been the most unpopular man since 1H4H, and it was oonuiderod by no means impossible that he might think it right to decline the crown and to abdicate in favor of his eon. The star of Prussia was low in 1448, and it sank lower and lower dur- ing the last years of the alllioted king, Frederick William IV. Few people only wore aware of the changes that had taken place in the political viiiws of the Prince uf Prussia, chielly during his stay in England, and tho best spirits of the time looked upon bis son, Prince Frederick William, as the only man who could be trusted to inaugurate a new era in the history of Prussia. His marriage with the Pi-iuoess lloyal of England gave still stronger /eat to these hopes, for whili^ he was trusted as likely to reali/.e the national yuarnings after a united Germany she was known as the worthy daughter of her father and mother, at that time the only truly conatitntional rulers in Europe. I'2ngland has then the ideal of all German Liberals, and a close political alliance with England was considered tho best solution of all Euro|>ean difficulties. Young men, and old men too, dreamt dreams, little knowing how distant their fulfilment should be, and how dasheil with sorrow when at last they should oome to be ful- filled." Rerniauy's New Emperor. "The King is dettdl Long live the King!" Crown Prinoe William Hiicoeeds his father ; in fact, became Emperor of Germany the moment Emperor Frederick breathed, his last.

I had been n the habit of sitting close beside him every day for weeks before I noticed that his arm was in any way different from that of other people. Even then, I only observed it because my attention was called to it by others. 'Then I perceived that the left arm was always m almost exactly the same attitnde, and that the Piince could only move it very slightly, bending it a little up or a little down from its normal position across the body, as though it were fixed in an invisible sling ; and that if be wiubed to use it to steady the sheet of paper on which he waa writing, he was obliged to raise it on to the table with the other band. No doubt this lacK of power is a great loss and inconvenience, especially to so ardent a soldier as William, for it compels him, I understand, to ride only horses that have been specially trained for his use, but it ia fortunately no disfigurement whatever. ROASTKU HIS FEET. Masked KobberK Torture aa Aged Man to Make Uliu Uive up Uis Money. A Pittsburg despatch saya : An atrocious outrage is reported from Faircbance, about two miles from I'niontown. Samuel Hum- bert, an old resident of Faircbance, was assaulted by masked men at bis residence at midnight Saturday, and subjected to great tortures to make him disclose where his money waa secreted. At that hour Humbert, who lives alone, was aroused by a knock at bis door. In response to his inquiries as to who waa there, the men outside asked for a drink of water. When the old man opened the door to comply with their request he was seiiied and gagged. Two ruffians then searched the house, but failed to find anything of value, whereupon they commanded their captive to sur- render his money and valuablea. He in- sisted that be had no money. The two fiends then built a fire in the grate, and, drawing the old man up to it, roasted hie feet until they were blistered and shock- ingly burned. Still the old man protested that he had no money, and implorad them to release him. They threatened to set the house on fire if he did not confess. After turning everything in the bouse up- side down, and ripping up the carpet in their search for money, they bound the old man hand and foot and departed. Hum- bert, after a desperate straggle, freed him- self and gave the alarm. His neighbors i|uickly gathered, and organized a search party to bunt the rascals down. The fugitives were tracked a considerable dis- tance, and have* it is said, been located. The oommunity ia j^restly excited over the outrage, and if the, perpetrators are found, the chances are that ' hey will be treated to a dose of Weutern jusiice. FOt'NU IN THE I'OUR-HOt^HK. A llrokeD-Henrted Man Leaves IIIh lliiaie and After Ysara Is UUcovercd In IlllBoU. A Bhelbyville, 111., despatch says : Twelve years ago there resided in Gallatin county, Kentucky, Martin U. Phillips, his wife, a son and a daughter. The family owned a section of land and was possessed of considerable money. The daughter was given every comfort wealth could afford, but she became way warn and broke her father's heart. Half cra/.ed he took several thousand dollars and departed from home, declaring he would for the remainder of his life bo a wanderer. Uis friends made every effort to find him, but were unsuc- cessful, and finally gave bim up as dead. A few days ago his son, still living on the farm with hia mother, in lodking over the list of pensions allowed saw the name of Martin 11. Phillips as having been pen- sioned forsertices in the Mexican war, and that he resided at Bhelbyville, HI. The son immediately started and arrived here yesterday to find bis long-lost father an inmate of the poor-house. The young man will soon take the wanderer, who is now 72 years of age, back to his once-forsaken home, where the family will again be re- united. IN UBFENCK or Hia MOTaKK. A nrteen-Vear-Old Maryland IU>y Kills his Uriinkeu Vather. A Baltimore despatch saya : Peter Alt proprietor of the Arlington house, near tho Pimlico race track, was shot and killed last night by hiH son William, aged fifteen years. The shooting took place in the kitchen of the residence and was the outcome of a family quarrel. Alt'a wife aaya the shoot- ing was done in her defence. Her husband had been on a spree, and just before the tragedy he came into the honae, and after breaking a heavy onp and aauoer on her head began to call her hard namea and to beat her. She struggled with him and they fell on the floor. Ue got bold of her throat, and she thought he meant to kill her. She was alinoet insensible when she heard the report of a gun. Her husband's grip on her throat relaxed, and be fell over on the floor. Young Alt, who is a bright- looking little boy, was arrested and locked up after an affectionate parting with his mother. m â€" An Autlelpated lloom.

A WOHilf'B OONFDSSION, BEST FEED FOR HUEERS, She Mnrders Her Husband and OhJldren to Oet Their Life Insorance, HES TESBIBLE BIOBY OF THE ORIUi:- A Philadelphia telegram says : . Mrs. Sarah J. Wbitehng, 40 years old, was com- mitted to prison by Coroner Ashbridge this afternoon, after she bad confessed to de- liberately murdering her bnsband and two children for less than 9400, for which their lives were insured. The Wbiteling family consisted, besides the wife, of John White- ling, the husband, aged 38 years ; Bertha, aged 'I years, and Willie, aged 2 years and nine months. The husband died Maroh 20tb, and Dr. G. W. Smith, who attended bim, gave a certificate of death due to inllammation of the bowels. Go April 24th Bertha died, and Dr. Smith certified that her death was due to gastric fever. May 2(jth Willie died and Dr. Dietrich, who was called in after Dr. Smith bad abandoned the case, said death was caused by congestion cf the bowels. HM.KI.L I'BICES roE MCUDtR. John Wbiteling's life was insured for illo in the John Hancock Company. He was also a member of Herd No. 2 Benevo- lent Order of Baffalos, which pays a death benefit of SH5 to the widow. This money was collected by Mrs. Wbiteling imme- diately after her husband's death. She insured Bertha in the Hancock Company for il'l'i, and Willie was insured in the Prudential Insurance Company for $1 and in the Hancock Company for $80. The amount of money received on the death of husband and children was Â¥3<.l'.i. The fact of the three deaths at intervals of only one month was brought to the notice of Coroner Ashbridge, and after examining the records in the Health Office he was satisfied the case was one his office should investigate. Ho communicated with Chief of Detectives Wood, and Detec tive Gyer waa detailed to assist the coroner. The bodies had all been buried in one grave in Mechanics' Cemetery. CBIMK DISCOVKKED. The Coroner ordered them to be exhumed on Wednesday. Professor Leffmann made an analysis of tho parts given to him by the Coroner and on Sunday reported to Coroner Ashbridge that he found arsenic enough in the boidies to cause death. Mrs. Wbiteling was taken in custody and locked up in the Central station. She was closely watched to prevent her from committing suicide. She spent most of the day in pray- ing, and on Monday she suffered so from nervous prostration that a physician had to be called in. The Coroner charged her with killing her husband and children and told her to send for bim when she was ready to make confession. CllNKKSlilON M.U'E. To-day she made a full and dear confeasion to the Coroner and waa committed to Moyamenaing. The in(]uest was to be held to-day at 11 o'clock. In her oonfeaaion Mrs. Wbiteling says : " My only reason for poiaoning the children was that Bertha might grow up to be a sinful and wicked girl, as she had at various times stolen pennies and once a pookelbook from her teacher at school at Hancock and Thompson streets. Bertha acknowledged taking the pocketbook. She told many bad stories. She was very sinful for one so young, and I did not want her to grow up and become a great sinner. My little boy was sinless, and I poisoned bim because he was in the way. I could not go out to work for there was no one to take care of him, and he was a burden to me. Without bim I could get along. Now I know my children are angels in heaven and I want to meet them there when 1 die." The 8|>eed of Trains. There ia not one person in one hundred of tho millions whu travel on railroads in the course of a year has any idea of the speed of a train. A large per cent, of even the regular train men of the country can- not tell with any degree of accuracy how fast a train is running. Fretjuently engineers are despatched on a trip over a line of railroad, with instructiens to run at a speed of a certain number of miles an hour. The engineers do not carry a speed indicator, but have learned by various methods to gauge their engines so as to make only the slightest variations from their orders. The majority of engineers use their driving-wheel as a gauge. Tbey kuow its circumference, and by counting its revo- lutions within a certain time can tell very accurately the speed at which tbey are running. Another method is to time the run between the mile-posts, and still another ia to make calculations from the number of telegraph poles passed in a cer- tain time. These poles, in a level country, and where four or five wires are used, are spaced that there are thirty to the mile. If only a single wire ia used tbey are spaced from twenty-five to twenty-eight to the mile. The most accurate method, and one most in use by experienced railroad men, is to count the number of rail-joints the train passes over in twenty seconds. The rails, in nearly all cases, are thirty feet in length, and the number passed over in twenty seconds is the speed per hour the train is running. For instance, if a pas- senger sitting in a sleeper oan count thirty clicks o( the wheels on a rail-joint in twenty seconds, the train is running at the speed of thirty miles an hour. â€" Kansat City Timet. An Iiniulgraut Cruelly Swindled. A Montreal telegram says : Another parly of Poles, numbering 20 or 25, arrived in the city yesterday. A few of them had a little money, but these were unwilling to lend to thoBu who had nothing, and hours were spent on the part of an interpreter trying to urge the party to remain together and to go to work railroading at Sodbury. A oruel cironmalanoe was brought out. On the interprotur making inquiries as to what money they had, one of them produced a number of what looked like American three dollar bills. Upon examination, however, they turned out to be advertisements of a stationery firm in St. Paul. When the poor fellow was made to understand that toe so-called bills had no value his distress was extreme. Ue stated that a friend had aent them to bim from the States. England's leading woman doctor is Mrs. Garrett Anderson, who baa a practice worth f 60,000 a year. Jfr. Vallanoe7 E. Fuller on the Value of Ensilage. » SOME IllTEKESTIHQ EXFESIMEBTS. One of the speakers at the successful, picnic of the East York Farmers' Institute ia Scarboro' Friday was Mr. V. E. Fuller, of this city. He announced he was a lawyer , dairyman and whatever else folks choose to call bim â€" but an admitted enthusiast on the question of " Ensilage as a food in the production of milk." Hefer- ring to the address of Professor Bobertaon he said his (Mr. Fuller's) own progress had been much impeded from want of an educa- tion such as that furnished at the experi- mental farm, and be would therefore urge upon farmers the necessity of giving their sons the training be had so sadly missed. As President of the Central Institution he felt confident, from what he knew of the vast influence exerted by hia fellow- agriculturist throughout the country, that it true to their best interests and leas bigoted in politics they would speedily ob- tain whatever was necessary to the further- ance and development of the important io- ilustry they were there to represent. People talked of tightness in the money market and attributed it to bank failures, etc., but it would be found on examination that the real cause was a shortage of crops, amount- ing last year to something like sixteen millions of dollars. He (the speaker) had seven years ago stated that the dairy cow would some day become THE yl'EEN or C.diDA, and he held the same opinion still. The cheese production of Ontario was an honor to the country, and the butter output " a corse and a disgrace." For every tub of good butter produced there were twenty badâ€" all owing to a lack of information how to properly manufacture it. Only when the farmer is educated in this respect will be discover that the cow is the beet bank account he has. He can no longer rely upon grain growing, and the sooner be is made aware of the fact the better that the cow is the principal factor in bis re- demption. The speaker next described the proper sort of cow to select, viz., such as produced the best results in quantity and quality. There were many cows in this country that had to be kept the year round and yielded only Ito lbs. The better plan waa to keep none that yielded less than well up to double the quantity, and when old "give her a decent burial." Ue would urge upon farmers the advantages of inter- dairying by means of creameries, and thus not only relieve their wives and daughters of the present drudgery, but retain much of what was vital to the well-being of the soil. The day was not far distant when,. as in Boston and New York, milk would be sold in Toronto on its merits, and at prices proportionate to the solids it contained. He would also empbasiiie the importance of giving warmer water to milch cows. At Oaklands the temperature was raised in this respect to 70 degrees. Butter sold by the pound should be stamped with the maker's mark or name, as by so doing, if good, it would always command purchasers at a price over the unstamped article of 2 or H cents a pound. ANOTBEII lUPORTAST rACTSB was the " production of feed at the least possible cost." Five years ago the speaker constructed an ensilage pit 21 feet long, 10 wide and 18 deep, supplied with fodder raiaod from Southern corn, town early in June, which proved quite a auccess ; and a similar one constructed by a New York gentleman was opened after seven years and the contents discovered to be in a state of perfect preservation. The essential point was to render the silo air tight, otherwise as in the case of canned fruit when exposed, the contents would rapidly become so much patrid matter. The corn the speaker would recommend for ensilage was the " B A W," " Mammoth South," and " Red Cob " varieties â€" preference being given to the last named â€" some three inches between each kernel, and in rows 2^ feet apart, or sutficiently so to admit the cultivator, which is kept going until the height of the stocks prevent, i he crop is cut when at the glazing point, allowed to wither, hauled in and cut into Jt-incb lengths, put into a silo, will tramped ; sinks a good deal ; filled up again â€" and still again if necessary â€" until done settling ; covered with tar paper, and above this, six or eight inches of earth, and the thing is done. Such ensilage, the speaker re- marked, averages 50 pounds to the cubic foot, will keep for an indefinite period, and ia one of the most valuable foods for milk production that a farmer can possibly raise. Mr. Fuller was voted hearty thanks for bis able address. 8walloweil the Testament, .V Birmingham, Ala., despatch says John Hauk, a well-known religious farmer, recently sentenced to 15 years in the mines for murder, has gone crazy and is now chained to his cell in the County jail.
