ITe wins at last, who builds his trust
In lovin words and actions just.
The winter blast Is stern and cold,
Yet summer lias its harvest gold.
Sorrow and "loom the soul may meet.
Yet love wrings triumph from "defeat.
The clouds may darken o'er the sun,
Yet rivers to tlie ocean ran.
F.arth br'mps the bitterness of pain,
Yet worth the crown of peace wid gain.
The wind may roar amonr; the trees,
Yet great ships sail the stormy seas.
Full oft we feel the surse of tears,
Yet joy has light for all the years.
On every banner blazon bright,"
"For toil, and truth, and love we fight."
Xf.xt to my (i my kindred,
Hlood f my blood and nfar ;
Next to my kin my country,
Every broad acre dear !
Next conies my friend and neighbor,
Mortal as well as I ;
Next are the poor Rnd needy
1 may not puss them by.
What is my God's just tribute ?
Love and devotion true ;
What shall I give my kindred?
What I but give the few ;
What to my friend and neighbor?
Friendship and truth indeed :
What to the poor and needy ?
Succor in time of need.

scenes in the "Arabian Nights," by the fain,
ily hcaithstone, on winter evenings, lias
wished that some good genie would sudden
's" appeal, and put him in countless treasures
of silver and gold ; would clothe him in robes
of costly silks and velvets, and give him a
beautiful palace to live in a palace glitter
ing with untold wealth, where he would be
the companion of kings and queens and per
sons of great renown. And. while reading
and wondering if any such marvellous for
tune could ever befall him, he ban little real
ized that tlie good genie of the fairy tale
might eventually single him out as one of
his favorites, and, with its magic wand,
n-oike him possessor of al! oi part that his
imagination had pictured and his heart de
sired. Almost like a fairy tale reads the experi
ence of Richard M. Jackson, late Consular
clerk and Vice Consul in the United States
Consulate at Stutt gart, Germany, whose sud
den transition from the dull routine of la
bors in a Consul's office, to be not only the
privy counsellor, but the favorite and inti
mate companion of the Kingof Wurteinbiirg,
has been a nine-days' wonder, and has pro
bably caused more talk and speculation in
tlie kingdom of Wurtemburj, and, in fact,
throughout all Germany, than any event that
has happened for years. That this strange
precedure on the part of the king; to select
to such an important position as that of pri
vy counsellor a young American, an almost
entire stranger, should have created an im
mense amount of comment, and engendered
lujch feeling and joalousy in German so
ciety, was but natural, for the position was
of that high order, a court minister, that it
was coveted by thousands of aspiring Ger
mans (lermans high in rank, high in social
position, and Germans wilii the blue blood
of royalty flowing in their Teins. Before
proceeding further, a short biographical
skftch of Mr. Jackson wi'l not come amiss
at tins point. He is a nativ-e of Steubenville,
O., and is .1.5 years of age. nis father, who
was a farmer, was a relative, first or second
cousin, I believe, of Stonewall Jackson.
Like most farmers' sons, young Jackson
pa-sed his early years on the old homestead,
tilling the soil during tlie summer months,
and in the winter attending the village
school, where, by his close application to hie
studi-'S he became an excellent scholar, and
laid the foundation of what promised to lie a
TiR IT. I.f NT AND VFF.FUL LIFE
in the future. He afterward entered one of
the Ohio v.niveisities, and continued his
studies with success for a season, but, hav
ing a great passion for music, and wishing
to visit Europe, he left College without grad
uating and came to Stuttgart, in Germany,
where he entered the Conservatory of Mu
sic, which has made the Wurtemburg capi
tal so famous. Here he made rapid progress
as a pianist, and by hard, diligent study,
soon acquired the German language so as to
speak it fluently and write It without hesita
tion. Rut the constant practicing on the
piano eventually resulted in a partial par
alysis of the nerves and cords of the hands,
so that he was unwillingly, and to his great
disappointment, on'.iged to abandon his fa
vorite profession, which he had planned and
anticipated for the future. Thousands of
miles from his naiive land, and with limited
resources, his sit nation was anything but
cliei-iing or satisfactory. It was at this
time (In July, l iTo,) that lion. J. S. Totter,
of F.oston, a gentleman well known and
highly esteemed in your city, having been
appointed by the President United States
consal at Stuttgart, arrived at his post and
took charge of the consulate. On his arrival
here he was not received with a hearty wel
come by the Swabians Americans, of
whom there were 400 or 5o0 in the city, were
anything but fi- vorites with the people, and
especially of the royal family. Some young
American students at the conservatory, while
on a "lark" had snowballed the king the
winter previous, in one of the the public
parks, as if by accident, and pretending not
to know the distinguished personage whom
they were pelting without mercy. At an
other time, under cover of darknessof night,
American students bedaubed with white
paint the beautiful bronze bas-reliefs sur
rounding the base of the monument in front
of the royal palace, erected in memory of
King William, father of the present king.
Not long after this piece of vandalism, the
king was insulted on the street by two
Americans, one of whom, on a wager, as it
afterwards proved, crossed the street and
requested the permission to light his cigar
from the Havana which the King was smok
ing a favor which his majesty granted with
the greatest civility. Several other vexa
tious incidents occuired, which did not in
crease the popularity of the American col
ony, or make their presence any more desir
able in the Wurtemburg capital. This was
but part of the dark picture in the back
around, as Mr. Potter found it od hisarrivai.
His predecessor in the consulate, a mulatto
who represented the United States, having
recalled by the Goverruent for reason, had
left behind a record and reputation of which
Americans could not feel proud, neither one
that his successor would wish to Inherit. So
bitter was the feeling, and strong the preju
dice, among the people, that the new consu
late found it very difficult to obtain an j
OFFICE FOTt THE CONSULATE j
or even apartments for the accomodation of
his family. One of the first duties that de
volved upon Mr. Potter, after getting estab
lished in consular quarters, which were at
last secured not, however, without finding
a person that would be security for the rent
' was to secure tbe service of a competent
elerk in the consulate. Looking around the
American colony to find a native American,
if possible, to fill the position, he came
across Mr. Jackson, in whom he found the
necessary qualifications; Tho position was
offered him, and, of course, gladly accepted.
Xor did it prove an unwise selection. The
new clerk, by his gentlemanly deportment,
by his strict integrity, and by his faithful at
tention to the duties assigned him. soon gain
ed the good will, not only of his superior of
ficer, hut of the people with whom he came
in business or social contact. After being
in the office a little over a year, and the test
proving that Mr. Jackson's ability and punc
tuality in the dischaige of his official duties
were all that could be desired. Mr. Potter
nominated him for vice consul, and he soon
after received the appointment from the
President of the United States. At the end
of five years the public estimation and opin
ion in Stuttgart of the United States consul
ate, and the officers having charge of the
same, seems 1o have undergone a change,
and the cause which engendered the prejn.
dices that existed against it, and towards
Americans generally, were so far forgotten,
that the humble young American was in
vited to step up from his position as clerk
and vice consul and take a place of honor in
the royal court and palaces of Wurtemburg,
over the heads of many of the proud nobil
ity of his majesty's kingdom. It was in Ap
ril last that the King first, through a medium
of correspondence, invited Mr. Jackson to be
ainenriier of the royal court of Wurtemburg.
The proposition was a great surprise to Mr.
Jackson, whose only acquaintance with his
majesty was by occasionally meeting him iu
the streets, or in the parks, on which occa
sions he would politely raise his hat, and his
majesty would as politely return the salute.
The proposition, although so tempting, and
accompanied with the King's earnest wishes
of its acceptance, and the promise of many
courtly favors in the future, was at first hes
itatingly entertained, nor was it accepted
until after several weeks of careful deliber
ation, and the signing, on the part of each,
of sundry and important and carefully word
ed documents, Several personal interviews
were held in making arrangements, in addi
tion to the correspondence that was going
on, at each of wh'nli
THE KING'S INTEREST
in the young American rapidly increased,
and, to secure his presence asmember of the
court, and as a personal companion, he was
willing to bestow on him the highest honors
ef his realm. Of course, it all ended in Mr.
Jackson resigning his'.viee-consulship and his
clerkship in his consulate. One pleasant
morning in May last, one of the royal coaeh
es from the King's stables, with coachman
and footman resplendent in royal iivery, was
seen standing at Mr. Jackson's modest board
ing house. A crowd gathered in the street
and on the walks to see for whom it was in
waiting. Was it for the King, or some
member of the royal family? In a few min
utes Mr. Jackson makes his appearance and
takes a seat in the coach, the footman closes
the door with much ceremony, the driver
cracks his long whip over the backs of his
handsome blooded horses, and tbe young
American w ho is now an American no long
er, having renounced his nationality aud
sworr. aUigiance to the King of Wurtemburg
and the Emperor of Germany is borne away
to his new home in the royai palace. An ele
gant suite of five apartments, luxuriously
and splendidly furnished, are awaiting him,
Footmen, valets and servants, gorgeous in
their scarlet liveries, with gold and silver
lace trimmings arc in readiness to wait up
on him, and run at every beck and nod.
Surely tfas ever fRtry tal more fully realiz
ed than this ? Aud Mr. Jackson did not en
ter upon this new life for a few days, or a
few weeks, or a few years, but for life, with
a handsome annual stipend guaranteed
more than sufficient to meet all his require
ments. There being no vacancy in the court
of Wurtemburg, the position of "reader to
the majesty" was created, to meet the emer
gency, for the first time in this court. But
two other crowned .heads of Europe have
court readers Queen Victoria and the Em
peror of Germany and the creating of this
now office in the court of Wurtemburg for
?dr Jackson was considered an exceptional
honor and compliment. lie had not long
been installed in his new position before
court recognitions and favors began to flow
in upon him. Tbe King of Holland, a life
long friend and brother-in-law of theKingof
Wurteuibiirg, presented him the "Knight's
Cross of the Golden Lion of Nassau" the
order of the IIouso of Luxumhourg. The
King of Saxony, who was visiting his royal
colleague at Stut tgart, was so highly pleased
with the young American that he bestowed
on him the "Knight's Cross of tiie Albert's
Order," The Emperor Franz Joseph of
Austria, who was staying with the King of
Wurtemburg for a few days, at the latter's
beautiful summer palace at Friedrk-hshafen,
on Lake Constance, became so interested in
his
LOYAL FRIEND'S PROTEGE
that he invested him with the very ancient
"Order of the Iron Crown of Austria," one
of the highest and most honorable gilts that
the Austrian monarch can confer on'h sub
ject. During the month of August the King
made Mr. Jackson his privy counsellor, and
conferred on him the title of "Geheimer Ho
frath," and on the 11th of September the
birthday of Queen Olga--he gave him the
"Knicht's Cross of the Crown of Wurtem
burg." Since this last gift Mr. Jackson has
been made a baron. The list of orders and
titles already given and conferred stops here
for the prqpent; to what number they will
increase in the future, time only will tell.
Seldom, if ever, has an American received
such honors and such marks of royal favor.
Mr. Jackson 'a duties In his new position are
not onerous or burdensome. Most of his
time he spends in company with the King,
and during his (the King's) walks and rides,
is his almost constant companion. When
his majesty makes long or short visits to his
country palaces at Babenhausen, Filedrich
shafen, Wilhelma or Berg, wheu he goes ou
hunting excursions to various parts of his
kingdom, or out of hi3 kingdom, he is sure
to be accompanied by his new privy counsel

dines with the royal family, and his travel
ing expenses are paid wherever he goes.
Certain horses in the royal stable are at his
command, and he has but to f xpress a wish
to have it gratified. At the volksfest at
Stuttgart, during the month of September
'ast, an immense concourse of people cath
ered to witness the sports, and also to get a
sight of the Emperor of Germany, who was
to be present. On entering tbe crounds of
the race cour?e the King rode with the Em
peror in a carriage drawn by six black hor
ses, with outriders in crimson livery. Fol
lowing the royal carriage was another drawn
by four elegant horses, with outriders in the
same livery, seated in which was Herr von
Jackson, with three officers high in rank in
the German army, in full uniform. In addi
tion to the gifts of orders and titles, Mr.
Jackson has frequently received testimonials
of his friendship in the shape of rare and
beautiful books, paintings and diamonds.
Probably there is no court in Europe mote
aristocratic or exclusive, more punctilious in
its etiquette or surroundings, or one that
puts on more pomp and style than the court
of Wurtemburg. King Carl inherited his
crown from a long line of royal ancestry,
and Queen Olga, who is a sister of the late
Emtieror of Russia, has the

at Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance, at
Babenhausen, at Berg, the Wilhelma at
Cannstatt, are as beautiful and enchanting
as unlimited wealth, combined with exqui
site taste, can make them. Many of the re
ports that have been circulated by the Ger
man ami also by the American press, giving
accounts of Mr. Jackson's rather remarkable
entree to court favor, have been mostly im
aginary, and certainly far from the truth.
One paper says : "He became acquainted
with the King in the gardens attached to the
palace, and took care to meet the sovereign
every day, and then always behaved with
snch rc-pectful admiration as first attracted
the monarch's attention, and then won his
favors." All of which is untrue, as Mr.
Jackson never dreamed of courting royal fa
vor, and only met the King accidentally,
while going to or from the consulate and his
hoarding house, or occasionally while taking
an afternoon stroll in the public parks, as
would any other private citizen. Other sto
ries, too ridiculous and foolish for repetition,
have been circulated m regard to his great
influence over the King, and forcing himself
conspicuously upon his attention. One pa
per, speaking of Mr. Jackson's personal ap
pearance, says : He is tall and slender, very
handsome, with a blonde moustache, Drown
hair and very dark eyes," etc. Whereas he
is just the opposite from this, though he is
not what would b called homely-. lie is in
appearance more German than American.
lie is about feet 8 inch.es high, weighs
nearly 2l'0 pounds, is broad shouldered, with

moustache, which is brown, like his hair, in
stead of being blonde. His eyes are more
blue than gray, and have a pleasant, win
ning expression, that lights up his face, and
makes it almost fascinating to those with
whom lie conies in contact. He is withal, a
perfect gentleman in dopoitment, is finely
educated, an excellent cor.veisationalist,
and, with a well-balanced mind and a good
American head on his shoulders, will not
only be able to take care of himself, but will
do honor o tiie country from which he has
severed his nationality. 11. Kitggles.

We were a large party, assembled in a coun
try house in on-j of tbe home counties to cel
ebrate the coming of age of the eldest daugh
ter. The family consisted of Mr. and Mrs.
Franks, two sons, Harry and Lionel, and
two daughters. Nora and Bab. As many as
fourteen young people were staying in the
house, and in a few days a large ball was to
be given. We were all at that happiest time
of life, between seventeen and twenty-five ;
we were all old friends, had known one an.
other from childhood and were in the wild
est spirits ; many innocent flirtations were
being carried on, with much discussion about
our partners and dresses for tlie forthcoming
ball, and we were, indeed, a very harpy
party, whilst Mr. and Mrs. Franks were kind
and indulgent to a fault to us young people.
It was a large, rambling old house, the
rooms opening one out of the other, with un
expected doors in the walls, concealed by
their lieing papered, leading up narrow
staircases to other rooms never inhabited,
hardly ever entered. Four bedrooms opened
one into the other iu this way, large and cu
riously shaped : and in these four rooms all
we girls were located seven of us. It was
a narrow wing of the house, some of the
windows facing the lawns and shrubberies,
some overlooking a courtyard, into which
opened the kitchen and the dairy. My rea
ders must forgive me if this description
seems tedious, but it is necessary in order j ,1own thp storr
to better understand the rest of my story. j
1 ue nigni or uie nan arrived ; as many as j
two hundred members of tbe surrounding
families, from far and near, came ; the ar
rangements were rerfect. and dancing was i
kept up witii much spirit to a veiy late, or ;
I well remember
the guests off iu ,
broad daylight.and that some of us preferred
having tea and a stroll in the garden in the !
lovely moving air to seeking our beds nt all. !
We were a very popular set of young people, :
and bail succeeded ball in the neighborhood,
all given in our honor; and our kind host j
and hostess insisted uion our prolonging
our visit to participate in all these gaieties.
It was the evening preceding one on
which a ball was to be given about five
miles distant ; a dressmaker was to come in :
the evening to look at our dresses, and, by
putting new bows and flowers, to freshen
them up for the occasion. We had just fin
ished dinner, at about eight o'clock, and
were chatting over dessert, when a servant
came to tell Nora and Bab that Miss Sax by
was ready to try on their dresses. They ira- j
mediately went to her, and in a few mo- ;
nients 1 followed them up-stairs, to see what
they were having done. It was a wide,
handsome staircase, terminating in a long
corridor, off which opened most of the prin
cipal bed rooms ; half way up, at the turn :
of the stairs, was a high painted window.
I went up in the dark, and was surprised '
to see standing by the window a man appar- i
eutly in uniform, with a short military cloak
thrown carelessly over one shoulder. As I
went on, this figure seemed to vanish and I
distinctly heard the opening and shuttinc of
two doors at the end of the corridor leading
into some of the vacant rooms. I thought it
might possibly be a trick played on me hy ;
some of the young men in the house, so re
turned to see who was absent, but they were
all there in the dining room. I procured a
candle and again went up to the girls, mak- i
ing no remark ou what I had seen until the
dress maker bad gone, when I told Nora. !
She turned quite pale, made nie repeat my '
story, and then told us she had seen the same
figure in the same position ami in the same
place. Of course we were much laughed at
and 110 one would believe a word of our
story.
We went to bed early that night, having
late hours in prospect for the morrow. We
girls were all talking and laughing in the '
first of the four rooms I have already de- 1
scribed. In the midst of our nieniment
there came suddenly a crash so ioud and ;
fearful that we thought every plate ainU
dish in tlie kitchen and dairy must be bro
ken. This was followed by the sound of
heavy chains clanking as if being dragged
across the stone yard and a loug piteous
whine from old Leo, who was chained up iu
his kennel just outside the dairy door. We
ail started and citing to one another. The :
noises had been beard in ail parts of the
house, for Mr. and Mrs. Franks came to our
door to know wiiat was the matter, and we
heard the young men and the servants mov
ing. As no reason could be assigned for the
disturbance it was suggested that Bab and
Harry with one of the men-servants should '
go down and see what had caused so much ,
noise. They were gone some time, but .
could throw no light upon the mystery when j
they returned. Nothing was broken, 110th- I
ing even displaced, but Leo seemed much i
tenified and reluctant to be left in his ken-
nel. We all tried to be brave and separated I
to our different rooms. j
The next night
amongst us had enough to d In attending to
those who were utterly prostrated by alarm.
We listened and expected the ered-on
sign from the gardener : but as all was again
quiet wp imagined he had not found ft ne
cessary to summon help.
At daylight the servants, with Mi. Franks
and Harry, at once sought the gardener to
hear his report of the night. They found in
the yard, still chained to bis kennel, the dog
dead. And in the dairy they discovered
the man, mad, crouching like an idiot in
corner of the room. No woutfd had killed
i poor Leo ; there ws not even the mark of
J a blow. The poor gardener never recovered,
1 and we could get no coherent wotd from
j him to explain the mystery. And, to the
j day of his death, a year from that time, be
never s poke nor had a gleam of reason. Mr.
and Mrs. Franks had him carefully tended
and cared for to the lat, The whole house
was searched by men sent from London ;
but 110 clue was found. Nor from that time
until the Franks left the house was there any
more cause for alarm, although the figure
on the stairs was seen several times by many
during the next few days.
Tlie shocking incident I have related so
affected the health of poor Nora that Mr.
and Mrs. Franks decided upon leaving the
house at once. For years it stood emptr.
But a few months ago I saw it again, and It
brought hark to my mind so vividly those
tertible nights that 1 determined to writ
Trailing. One of the mot remarkable
features of uncivilized life is the power sav
ages show of tracking men and beasti over
j immense distances. Many travelers have
, spoken ot this as almost miraculous, y-et it is
' only the result of careful observation of cer
' tain well-known signs : and we hare here
, before us a collection of very common-seDse
hints on the subject. In countries like ours
; every trace of footprint or wheel-track o
: roads or paths is soon obliterated or hope
i lessly confused; but it is otherwise in the
! wilderness, where neither man nor beast can
i conceal track. In CafTreland, when cattle
! are stolen, it their footprints are traced to a
! village, the headman is responsible for them
unless lie can show the same track going
out. A wagon track in a new country is
i practically indelible. "More especially,"
. say the authors of "Shifts and Expedients of
1 Camp Lite," "is this the case if a tire sweeps
: over the plain immediately after, or if a
; wagon passes during or after a prairie Are.
We have known a teilow-traveler recognize
in this manner the track his wagon had
made seven years before, the lines of charred
stumps crushed short down remaining to in-
: dicate the pas-age of the wheels, though all
other impressions had been obliterated by
the rank annual growth of grass fully twelve
I feet i.igh. Sometimes the original soil being
; disturbed, a new vegetation will spring up
' along the wagon track, and thii6 mark out
the road for miles."
Even on hard rock a man's bare foot will
, leave the dust caked together by perspira
tion, so that a practiced eye will see it ; and
evpn if there is no track, a stone will be dis-
turt't d here and there, tiie side of the pebble
which has lone laid next to the ground being
j turned up. If it is still damp, the man or
bea-t that turned it has passed very recei.t
! iy. If a shower of rain has fallen, the track,
will tell whether it was made before, during
or after the shower; similar indications can
be obtained from the dew ; and another in
' dication of the time that has elapsed since a
man passed by is furnished by the state of
. the crushed glass, which will be more or less
withered as the time is loncer or shorter.
Other indications are drawn from tbe direc
; tion in which the grab's lies ; this tells how
the wind was blowng at the time the gras
was crushed ; and by noting previous to the
wind, one learns the time at which tte track
was made.
A Chicken ITatcheh by a Tioeon. Re
cently persons at work In the upper part of
the l ain of Isaac C. Philips West Fallow
field township, Chester county. Pa., heard
the sweet sounds cf "peen" coming from
over their heads above tlie barn dior. This
was kept up for several days, for nowhere ,
could tlie littie chicks be seen. Finally a
pigeon was noticed enter a hole in tle stone
wail of the barn where a piece of timber bad
decayed away, and fn tiie in-iile of the barn
on the wall "in front of the hole up popped
tiie head of a little chicken, with its mouth
wide .en to receive the food that the pig
eon had brought for it. An examination was
then made of the ne-t, and in it was found
the remains of a chicken egg the broken
shell and one live, perfect, hearty looking
young chicken. The supposition, for no
sign of the chicken that laid the tgc was ever
seen about, is, that a hen. in pas-inc alo.ig
the barn wall, had suddenly hopped into the
pigeon's nest, dropped the single egg there, .
and then went cackling on her way. The
pigeon was seen some time before t' make
1 he nest, and it was expected that in the pro .
per time a nice pair of squabs would appear,
but the pigeon, after making its nest, prob
ably discovered the egg in tbe iHdtom of it,
and instead of laving her own eggs went to
work and hatched out the one supplied hy
the chicken. The little chicken was finally
taken to tha farm house, where, at lat ac
counts, it was getting along "as favorably as
could be expected under the circumstances."
The pigeon for some days continued to fly in
and out of its nest, apparently not quite un
derstanding the sudden disappearance of her
"squab."
