IT has heretofore been considered been considered harmless pastime to criticise the effusions of young poets, In Germany, however, it proves that in some instances it is a dangerous thing to make disparaging remarks about verse- Fifty-eight persons, mostly teachers and journalists, have been held for trial at Berlin for daring to criticize the "War Hymn" written by the young German Emperor.

WASHINGTON IN DANGER. Beminiscences of tho Early Days of the Civil War.

tho National Cnpitnl IVan at the Blcrcy of the South-Tlio Strain Ke- lluvod by the Advent of York's Crack Reglmvnt. At the beginning of the civil war in. 1801, the eapitol building was not more than half completed. The readers who were boru since 1SCO know no more of that great, struggle for the life, of the cation than they know of the war with Mexico or the war of the revolution. It is all history to them save that it has been a home story about the firesides of the men of the north and of the south who participated in the'grapple and carnage of battle.

It was a wonderful spectacle, even as a reminiscence, to see two sections of a great nation engaged in such deadly combat extending- over a period of years. The capital city of the republic was so located that it was on the borderland of the seceding 1 section, nnd south of the center of the loyal north. The public buildings, the official records THE CAPITOL IN 1801. and the national treasury were also almost wholly unprotected. Xhc people of the south were in earnest about secession, and hoped for sonic sort of a peaceful compromise.

They did not want to fire on the old flag, or they could have taken Washington city before the inauguration of Abraham Lincoln. They were prepared for war, nnd the north was not. I have always given them credit for conservatism at the outset, in keeping hands off of the capital, which wasat their mercy. There not a fort manned, nor a sentinel standing here for defense, until after Lincoln's inauguration. The capitol building was a mass of tall derricks surrounded by piles of marble blocks.

The central portion of the building was complete and occupied by congress. But the dome looked like an unfinished parachute. Its iron arms extended half way to their keystone, without covering, and the workmen, away up in the air, looked like dwarfs at play on the limbs of a leafless banyan tree with ruined trunk. There were many men in those days who believed that it would never be finished. One of them was Senator Clingman, of North Carolina, who said: "The building is on Maryland soil, and Maryland will secede with tho other southern states.

In the division of the by compromise, it will belong to the south. We will take it down and remove it to Montgomery, or Richmond, Va, Of course we will not have our capitol so near to Yankee soil, for it would be exposed if there should ever be a war. Besides we will want it located nearer tho center of the confederacy." Many leading southern gentlemen had no clear idea that war was imminent. They were thoroughly imbued with tho belief that the men of the north would not fight against secession. They sincerely regarded their right to withdraw, from the union as a constitutional privilege.

They possessed all of the Atlantic and gulf ports, with their fortifications and equipments, and the bulk of the army. Moreover, there were many people in the northern states who were like-minded, and who deprecated war. Hence there was a prevailing sentiment that the capitol would never be completed. The whole scene changed in the twinkling, of an eye. The steamer "Star of the West," flying the stars and stripes, carrying supplies and reinforcements to Fort Sumter, was fired upon, and immediately thereafter Fort Sumter was bombarded and captured.

That settled the whole matter, and we were in the presence of a epoch of history. The war began, the national capital was defended, the president and cabinet remained here, troops were called for, the congress assembled, and the work of completing tho capitol building went on as though profound peace prevailed. The dome was completed, the senate and house wings were added, and, in 1SG4, while hundreds of thousands of our people were battling for supremacy of the principles they espoused, the marble building on the summit of the commanding eminence grew into what it now is, "a thing of beauty and a joy forever." But there was great excitement here when Virginia's legislature passed an ordinance of secession on April 17, 1SG1. This was 'followed by news to the effect that the young men all over the south were meeting together in every village and hamlet and crossroads, and forming; companies and drill- Ing with muskets; and where muskets were not to be had they used pitchforks or other implements that first came to hand, and they declared that in less than a fortnight the southern' flag should float over tne national capitol. This fact alarmed everybody in Washington, for the capital.waasbsor lately defenseless.

The papers cauea lor meetings 01 ioyai men 10 form companies and defend the city. It was folly realized that the troops called for in the proclamation of President Lincoln could not reach Washington in time to prevent its capture. President; Lincoln keenly realized tho situation, and all available troops of the small regular army wore ordered here; but transportation was riot so readv nor so speedy as it became with the exigencies of the times. This city was largely in sympathy with secession. But two companies were speedily formed, composed almost wholly of men of the north and west who were temporarily in the city.

Many of them were prominent in political and official life. The company called the Frontier Guards was commanded by lion. James H. Lane, of Kansas, of "border-ruffian'' fame. This company guarded the white house.

The other company wtis called the Clay battalion, and was commanded by Hon. Cas.sius M. Clay. The Clay battalion quartered in Grace church, adjoining Willard's hotel, near the treasury. For two clays and nights these little bands of inexperienced men- were the only guardians of the national capital.

The Clay battalion marched to the navy yard and guarded the property there. as it was rumored that it would all be burned after midnight. A member of that organization, speaking of his first experience as a soldier, said: "On arriving at the navy yard a guard was placed around thej. grounds, and the rest of the men, some forty or fifty, found quarters as best they might in a large ship building. 1 took lodgings in the fold of a large sail that was suspended hammock-like over a beam.

At twelve o'clock a relief guard was called for, and being; uncomfortably bent up and chilly in the sail, I jumped out and was the first to respond to the corporal's call; for ir.y promptness I was assigned the post of honor (as he told me, although I didn't know what it meant). My beat was next the river, and it was' much Tnoru comfortable marching' back and forth four rods under the starlight and with pood mnsket than-it was in the sail. We expected the attack would come, if at all. from Alexandria, and by way of the river. We peered out into the darkness which hung over the broad waters of the Potomac, trying to get sight of an enemy that we hoped would not eome.

About sixty yards off lay a long, low, black steamer that had been captured, and which, about three o'clock a. showed signs of getting up steam. After holding a short council with the sentry next to me we concluded to fact that tho vessel was making steam to the commandant of the yard, which we did through the corporal of the guard, and word was returned that it was all right 'and according to About an hour later Commander Dahlgren came out of his residence in full dress uniform, and being challenged gave the password, and then descended the steps to the water's edge, got into his gig, went on board the suspicious vessel.and it moved slowly and silently Highest of all in Leavening Latest IT.

away. I now understood what the corporal meant -by the 'post of The arrival of the Sixth Massachusetts infantry, on April 19, did not relieve the apprehensions of tho president and other Rioters in Baltimore killed four and wounded thirty-six members of that regiment, and the authorities of Baltimore declared that no more troops should pass through the city. President Lincoln declared that they should. During- that nig-ht the secession leaders of the Baltimore mobs were busy burning bridges and tearing up the railroad track, cutting off all connection with the north. Without mail facilities, or other means of communication 'with the outside world; the gloom thickened.

Men now had a great desire to leave Washington and some paid extravagant and almost fabulous sums to be carried north by livery teams. Others, of southern birth, were equally anxious to get south, and in a few. days Washington was considerably out of its transient population. was believed, however, to be a time of real when the days were filled with apprehension and the nights with dread. This sense of danger, with its strain and tension of sleepless anxiety, was not relieved until the afternoon of April 35, 1S01, when the famous Seventh New Tork regiment reached the city, and, as they marched up Pennsylvania avenue to the inspiring music of their fine regimental band, bearing at their head the stars and stripes, their wen- filled columns, their regular step and bearing, won the admiration of all, and each one felt that the crisis was past and the capital saved.

At any moment, at any hour of the day or night, the Virginia boys could have taken Washington and won great prestige to the confederacy. After that date the troopers of the. northland came pouring into the city on every train. But the war was not over in thirty days nor in ninety days. For four long years the national capital was the rendezvous, the bivouac and camping ground of hundreds of thousands of tens of thousands of them spent Vgeks'- and months 'in hospitals here," -sick, wounded and dying.

HANDLES ON GIRLS. CM "method 'of determining the to ID jllcjcle Kldem. Etas your best girl or ivife or grownup daughter got a big handle fixed to her a handle fitted to her belt and big enough to lift her up and carry her over a muddy crossing? No? That is queer. The best girls in Brooklyn wear such a handle every day and find it very useful. You might walk the streets for a week and not sec one if you did not know where to look, but I could take you to great gatherings of women and show you scores with handles.

To explain this from the 'beginning, writes- Julian Ralph in tho Providence Journal, the bicycle craze rages here and in Brooklyn in the winter as in tho summer, but since the streets arc in an impossible condition for wheeling in winter the bicycle fiends have taken to hiring great ball rooms and abandoned armories that provide room for riding under shelter. In tu-o of these places the people organize as clubs, and with their friends arc able to serve refreshments and hire attendants to wait on the members. These attendants teach the art of cycling to those who wish to learn it, and herein comes tho handi- ncss of tho new wooden handles that now socm to be growing out of tho girls' backs. The old way of wrestling with a beginner (no other tenn expresses the violent work of the first few lessons) was for the attendant to grip the saddle or scat of the machine and icy to guide its mad career, while tho pupO, heart in plunged all over the place. The new way is better.

The girl with a handle can now bo steered and held up, and pushed forward and pulled back, just as the teacher wishes. The invention is so thoroughly excellent that no one can gauge its possibilities. How many men have wished for a handle in dealing with women. How differently the charming sex would be regarded 'to-day, and would have been considered in times gone by, if it had been provided with handles. The ancient poets and sages could not then have said that no man is so wise as to be able to understand a woman.

Tho women of the oriental half of tho world would not have been locked up like prisoners if they had known enough to wear handles, and here in the west parents could not go to the police to complain that they have no control over their daughters, nor could husbands throng the divorce courts saying that their wives went wrong and could not be dissuaded. How could there be a better dissuad- er than a handle? This view of the subject is wholly masculine, I admit, but I venture upon it only because tho Brooklyn women have of their own accord put on handles. If the men had put them on the women I should have expected mass meetings of advanced women to protest against the barbarism. But since the women have adopted the handles on purpose to be guided by men, and since they have intrusted them to menials in livery, it is not too much to hope that soon they will wear the handles at home for the convenience of husbands, fathers and brothers. Then we shall read poems beginning: Put on your handle, Maud," and songs entitled "Broken is the Handle, Mamie's Gone." GRIP HELPS YOUNG DOCTORS.

Joft Thine to Build Up for Kiting "Do you know the present epidemic of grip is just the thing to build up a voung doctor's practice?" said a prominent Cincinnati specialist the other day, while discussing the trials and tribulations of a young practitioner's life, says the Tribune of that city. "It is a fact," he continued, "because the people as a rule are all fearful of having an attack, and so a young doctor simply asks the date of the illness and its general severity, and then, if it be acute, he remarks, with grave but benign countenance: and prescribes some simple remedy. The grip often being nothing but an acute catarrh, is soon dispelled, and that young doctor's reputation is solid in that family. Many people seem to think it fashionable to have an attack, and I have known a well-educated young physician to lose a prominent family in a neighboring suburb just because he tried to explain the difference between a cold and the grip. The paterfamilias dismissed him and called in a quack, who was sharp enough to perceive what was desired, and now he is making money, though ignorant of his profession, while the educated and well-meaning physician is meditating upon human frailties in his leisure moments.

I often wonder whether or not honesty is the best policy." BIRDS THAT LOVE FINtRY. ThlJ UttU Story Natural HUtorlM Ont Sight- In order to investigate the migratory habits of birds, some time in the fall two years ago an Arkansas woman secured fine Baltimore oriole. She tied bit of red siBi around his lejr, ttuuinjr him loose in time to Wing his flight along with bis companions. Last April, says a correspondent of the Philadelphia Times, tho bird reappeared, bringing with him a mate having a bit of blue ribbon tied her leg. The pair took up their abode in- a big oak tree, soon swinging a nest' and bringing forth a brood.

The woman watched the movements of the beribboned couple very eagerly, nnd what was her astonishment one day, soon after they left the nest, to behold tho voung birds all strung out in line on a. limb, while the parent birds, with deft beaks and feet, tied a bit of bright. cloth about the leg of each. The ingenuity of the oriole is well and it is probable that tho first bird became so pleased with his decoration that ho tied a blue ribbon to. the leg of his mate, and wished to hand down the custom to his progeny.

The- vouncr woman is now eagerly looking forward for the reappearance of her little friends this season, and means to- fcestow on each a bright new ribbon should they come again. A Tnrlftr Prince. Emperor William's little sons inherit from their mother the thrift that thrives. They expend their moncy with the cascfulncss that permits no running in debt. An amusing incident of this thrifty habit is mentioned in the Lady.

Occasionally the empress takes the three older princes with her on her shopping expeditions, when the boys are allowed to spend their pocket money just as they please. A short time before Christmas they went to inspect the delights of a large- shop in Berlin. One of the princes picked out the object of his choice, and at once proceeded to the cashier's desk. Her majesty asked him whether this was all he intended to buy, when ho retorted, in a most businesslike "Ko, but I prefer to pay for everything- separatcly, so that I sha'n't spend more- than I've Fair. Uclmagcn, a Roumanian country town of twelve hundred holds its annual fair on the feast of St.

Theodore. On this occasion, a London- weekly paper says, the place swarms with newly married brides from the- sixty to eig'hty villages in the Widows who have taken fresh husbands remain at home. Tho young women, in festive attire and generally attended by their motherr-in-law, carry jugs of wine wreathed with, flowers in. their hands. They kiss every man.

they meet and afterward present the jug to his lips fora "nip." Theindivid- ual thus regaled bestows a small gift on the fair Cybele. Not to take of the proffered wine regarded us an insult to the young wife and her family. She is, therefore, reserved toward strangers and only Icisscs those whom she- thinks likely to taste of her wine. The- kissing is carried on in. the street, in the taverns and in private houses.
