24. Emperor Williaip of Germany has, apparently, become reconciled to Prince Bismarch and the latter will probably visit the emperor In Berlin, shortly after, the latter's birthday celebration on Saturday next. The news of the reconciliation thai caused the utmost satisfaction throughout and has1 increased' the emperor's popularity. The news.1 has also strengthened the government, as it is stated that Prince Bismarck is in accord with Chancellor Von Capri vi and with Baron Marschall Von Bieberstein, the imperial secretary- of state for or-eign affairs. It seems that the reconciliation was brought about entirely by the emperor himself, and that he accomplished it in a most graceful The aide de camp of Emperor William.

Colonel Count Von Moltke. arrived at Fried-ricbsruhe and sought an interview with Prince Bismarck, which readily granted. Colonel Von Moltke. it appears, was the bearer of an autograph letter from Emperor 'William to the ex-chancellor congratulating the latter upou ttio -tTHnn-ni recem ae' tack of influenza and begging him to accept a bottle of very old and valuable wine from the imperial cellars, which Colonel Von Moltke was also charged to convey to the distinguished German statesman. Prince Bismarck is said to have been much affected by the kind messages conveyed to him by the emperor's aide de camp and the best of feeling is reported to have displayed on both sides.

-Colonel Von Moltke was so successful in pleasing Prince Bismarck that the latter not only invited him to take a drive about the neighborhood) of Friedrichsruhe. but also invited him to dine at the castle. The emperor's aide de camp accepted both these invitations and returned to Berlin, bearing, it is said, an autograph letter from Prince Bismarck to the emperor, in which the iron chancellor thanked his imperial majesty for his extreme kindness and thoughtfulness, and assured the emperor that he. Prince Bismarck, would be most pleased to wait upon bis majesty after the latter's birthday celebration. The excitement and satisfaction is not confined to political circles; in the army, among the Bourgeoisie, among the clergy, among- the aristocracy and among the peasants: here, there and everywhere, all ranks and all ages, as well as all conditions of people, rejoice to hear that there is no longer that angry feeling between the ruler of the German empire and the great servant of the country who has done so much for German strength and unity.

COL. A. L. CONGER. He Says: "Business Is Fast Improving" and "Mills are Starting On a Firmer Basis Than Ever Before." From the Toledo News.

Mukcie, Jan. 23. Colonel A. Ia. Conger, the millionaire manufacturer of Ohio, in an interview as to the prospects for manufacturers, especially the iron industry, said: "Business is fast improving throughout the country since the first of the year and confidence is being restored.

The old stock of the mills and fac tories throughout the country is fast being consumed and the mills are now getting started on a better basis than at any time for years In a short time I predict that the wheels will again be moving, and that a season of prosperity will Yeturn.

THAT.SMILfc. Sam Houston Says It Is the Only Thing That Saved Him. A good story was told in one of the committee rooms at thecapitol the other day touching the senatorial career in Washington of the Hon. Sam Houston of Texas. It was some time in the forties, not long after Houston had come to the senate.

The great Texan was attended by a faithful black from Virginia bearing the distinguished name of Richard Henry Lee. Richard proved himself a good body servant in all things save one. He attended faithfully on every want of his eccentric master, who was keeping bachelor's quarters, but no argument was sufficiently persuasive to induce Richard Henry Lee to keep the rooms in order. A general air of slothf ul neglect marked the surroundings of their domestic establishment, and time and again Houston threatened to have Richard flayed and his black hide hung over the backyard fence as a frightful example to all evil doers. Thing? ran on in this way until one day Houston returned to his rooms from the senate and found the condition of affairs at home so bad that he deter mined then and there to teach his flunky a good He deliberately locked the door, and without saying a word crossed over to a table where he kept his pistol case, removed two pistols, loaded them, handed one to Richard and took the other himself.

"Now, Richard Henry Lee," he began in a low voice that, foreboded ill, "you Stand in that oorner while I take my po sition in this, opposite you, face to face. man to man, pistols in hand. You have betrayed my confidence and trampled upon my feelings until patience has ceased to be a virtue. I have reasoned and pleaded with you to maintain my rooms in that state of cleanliness to whichr as a free born Texan, I am accustomed, and you have basely ignored my wishes in the premises, and have gone on in your slothful, shiftless ways without regard either to my feelings or my comfort. Now, you infernal scamp, I have made up my mrod to kill you.

could do so without giving you a show for your life, but absolute fairness shall distinguish the method of your taking off. Get into your place, and when I drop this red bandanna handkerchief, shoot! If you me, so be it. I forgive you now. If I kill you, it won't make any difference anyhow. You are good for nothing, and your removal will be a blessing to society.

Remember, iowever, thAfeno man ever faced me with a pistol inhis hand and lived to With ashen face Richard Henry, who, despite his negligence, loved- his-maeter most devotedly, took his stand in the corner assigned him and mechanically followed Houston motions. The Texan took a handkerchief out of his pocket. which he held aloft as a signal, and then raised his pistol with, the other hand to a level with his lackey's heart. As he did bo an involuntary smile flitted across his face, and instantly Richard dropped his pistol, while his face spread out into a huge" smile. "I say, Mars Sam," he shouted in a transport of voicing, "I thought yo' raly mesnt it, but yo' just pokin fun at me.

Goramity," he added, with a sigh of relief, "it makes me shiver to think how near yo' was to death! Dat smile was all dat saved yo' life." Houston told the story as a good joke on himself, assuring his hearers that he was positive Richard would have killed him if he had carried the joke a hair breadth further. Washington Post. Wrestler Daniel S. Mcleod. Daniel S.

McLeod, who claims to be the champion wrestler of Canada, Australia and the Pacific coast, recently added to his already great fame by winning a mixed hnut- against Sebastian Miller, the Bavarian DANIEL M'LEOD. strong man. The wrestlers contested one fall catch-as-catch-can style and another at Grseco-Ronaan, and Miller was beaten in both struggles. There was wide disparity In weight between the two men, McLeod weighing only 175 pounds, while Miller tip ped the scales at 240. Miljers favorite style of wrestling is Graeco-Roman, and the gladiators battled for over an boor and a half before McLeod won a fall.1 The next bout, catch-as-catch- can, found McLeod in his glory, and he easily threw the Bavarian in 4 minutes.

with the exception of Evan Lewis, the renowned, "Strangler. McLeod is probably the best catch-as-catch-can wrestler in America today. His favorite hold is the hammer lock, and when he once secures it surrender or a broken arm is the only al ternative before his opponent.
