year. One hour
ho may lie aeen in all hi imperial re
galia delivering a ringing speech from
the, throne and a few hour afterward
lie might he found watching the trial
of Bomo new-fnngled carpet aweeper.
The other day he suddenly called in
the Court Marshal, Count riiekler, ami
aturtled thin dignitary with the excla
mation : "Count. I want you to ac
company mo to the lower region."
The Count wa nomewhat taken aback,
thinking that Hi MajeMy wixhed him
to go to a place where fan and ther
mometers are in great demand. The
Emperor, however, aet him at ease,
explaining that he had decided to make
n tour of innpection through the royal
kitchen. The object of this unex
pected viait wa to aatiafy and acquaint
Jiimwlf peronnlly with the working of
thin important department, the highest
aim of which i to keep the imperial
stomach in good humor. The viit wa

also made in honor of an ancient cus
tom that had been observed by the Ho
henzollcrti for centurie, but which of
hito years had become obsolete. Sev
eral of tho German papers hastened to
inform their reader of thi visit to the
kitchen, stating at the same time that
it was the first time tho kitchen had
leen honored by a royal presence.
This is a mistake, since both Emperor
William I. and his royal spouse made
it a point to personally inspect the
huge buffets containing the cold
victuals before any great entertain
ment. These identical sidebonrdB are
Used even to-day, and placed in a room
adjoining the culinary department.
They contain all manner of Humpies of
cold victuals, which aro faithfully in
spected as to quality by tho present
Empress.
The Emperor was more than pleased
with his visit to the kitchen. He
found tho arrangements admirable and
evinced a deep interest in tho many
novelthings which he was shown. Ho
said ho felt proud to see that tho joy
ous little sausages and the martial fish
balls were cooked with such military
precision and Biicculenee. He in
npected tho several complicated spits
for turning the roasts. He peered
into tho turbid depths of the pot
where merrily bubbled tho flippant
bean. The Emperor also saw the
workings of the ciishwashiug apparatus
and many other things too numerous
to mention. Everything was faultless,
and tho chief chef has wild dreams of
beiug rewarded with the knighthood
of the Limburger or tho graud clam
chowder cross.
A royal kitchen is at all times au ex-
THI
tromely interesting plaoe to visit, as it
contains suoli an abundance of culinary
novelties of every description. Here
are prepared the daily meals of the
imperial family and their immediute
Attendants. The ordinary routine
never brings out the full working
capacity of the kitchen, as the number
io be provided for is not very large.
But when gala dinner or a wedding
festivity, such as the recent one, is to
be prepared, then it is tt sight worth
seeing if admission os spectator can
be hud to the saored realms of cook
ery. The kitchen is governed by a
court marshal, and next in rank comes
kitchen superintendent. This func
tionary attend tu the purohasiug and

ne b well a gla, etc. On special
occasion these men have charge of
the petting of the tables, a well an the
army of extra waiter.

the various departments in the kitchen.
Some of these subordinate chefs have
as many as tventy assistants. The
roast meat department is given special
care, as the Emperor in apt to be a lit
tle "fussy" if thingn aro not exactly
right. The chief of tho department,
as well a his assistants, must be a veri
table artist in roasting meats, for
Urillat-Huvarin truthfully said that
"cooks may be taught, but roasters
must be born."
Next in importance comesthe entree
cooks, upon whom it devolve to pre
pare minor dishe, soups, vegetables
and salads. The third division com
prises the makers of sauces, or, a they
are styled, "saucier." It is the duty of
these gentlemen to prepare tho fish,
the entrees, and to make nil impossi
ble sauces, as the case require. Avery
important man is tho chief confec
tioner with hi assistant. On these
diguitsries rest the task not only of
preparing all tho fancy pastry, but
also the putting it into attractive
shapes. All preserves, fancy jellies
and candied fruits are in their care as
well. Tho artistic features of the ban
quet tables owe a great deal to tho
pastry cookB' skill. These men, who
would scorn to be considered anything
less than artists, arc wonderfully adept
in tho arrangement of dishes iu every
conceivable shape. Beneath their deft
touch one can almost bear the roasted
pig give a grunt of satisfaction as it
lies on its beautifully garnished plate.
Fowl and gamo appear decked in their
full plumage and in sturtlingly lifelike
attitude.
Any good housekeeper would bo
perfectly delighted to seo the array of
utensils used in this royal kitchen. All
of these, with but few exceptions, are
made of tinned copper. They are care
fully arranged upon shelves according
to the various sizes. Here aro kettles,

Every department has a bulletin

year during the wedding festivities of

made to conform to the Emperor's
wishes, Bfter which it is handed to the

The Servant Was Horrlfled.
Doctor S. bad last winter newly
arrived Hibernian for a servant; he
had also recently purchased a pair of
porpoise leather boots. His wife, at
tracted by the novelty of the now
footwear, asked the doctor in the pres
ence of the servant what they were
made of, to which he responded, "por
poise hide."
Shortly after the lady from tho Em
erald Islu interviewed Mrs. H. and an
nounced her intention of "laving whin
me week is up." Mr. 8., somewhat
surprised, asked the disturbed domes
tic the reuson for her announced de
parture, to which Bridget responded
with a horrified air :
"i'er husband is a docther, mam.
an' I've heard them doc t hers do be
cuttin' up people, an' didn't I hear

Women of Wolpai.
Tn the Indian village or "city" of
Wolpai in northwestern Ari'ona there
exists and has existed fur centuries,
according to a correspondent of tho
New York Advertiser, a condition of
civilization which is neither socially
nor morally much inferior to that pos
sessed by tho American people of to
day, with whom the member of thi
tribe have had but little communica
tion. It is particularly among the
Wolpai women that the degree of civi
lization seems to bo most remarkable.
When the child is born it is prayed
over, after the custom of the tribe.and
then a strangely superstitious ceremony
is gono through viz., the baby is
rubbed with wood nshe "in order
that her bone may not become loose."
Until slio ii ten yer old she lives ft
life of pcrfc.it childhood, romping,
climbing, playiiig with iununurnblo
toy and doing everything thnt a civi
lized child .would liko t do, but dnre
not. A a result tho little Wolpai
maiden of ten years old i wi ll knit
and robust, and ha set up a Usturnl
foundation of health with which to be
gin her life of usefulness.
A MAIT OK WOMWt.
At this age she dresses like her elder
sisters and is at once led into the se
crets cf the kitchen and imdructed hi
the manufacture of baskets, potter
and other useful wares, and before the
is fifteen she is skilled m curding and
dyeing wool and in weaving blnnki t?,
petticoats and other garment. Dr.
Shufelst savs that "in the number ol
stews, ragout and broths" which n
Wolimi maiden can make, "or in the
rndless diversity of hominy, mush. pop
corn and piki bread tdic will hold hci
owu with the most ingeuioua American
housewife.
But the most peculiar thing about
these women is tho fashion in which
they wear their hair. It i arranged
ou both sides of the head, like tho
horns of a mountain nhcep, in two
enormous whorls. This is accomplished
by winding the hair around some pli
able switches of willow and has a most
enriou effect. Considerable" euro in
taken in the preparation of this part
of the toilet, and it is iu ftrr.ng-j con
tradistinctiou to tho custom of the
Apaches, Utes and Navajo Indians,
whose hair liunja iu unkempt, loose
masses.
After marriage tho Wolpai amidenv
cease to wear their hair in whorls. It
is then parted iu tho middle and tied
iu a kind of queue, after the same stylo
as tho men. The girl of tlvis tribe
choose their own husbands. Ju the
household, whero everything is clean
a a new piu, thi- wife reigns hupreme,
and daughters inherit their mother's
property.

had made a stand on the Hharnhnrc pike In

the troop alluded to rendered thla ground
amenable; compelling bee to withdraw his
foreea serosa the creek by the middle bridge,
assuming positions for the great strugglt of
Wednesdnv on its west hank.
On Tuesday evening Fry's House waa
taken procession of by the Headquarters
(tnfr, reports from the line In front being
forwarded to that spot then and later on.
There could be no objection to Its availabil
ity for active operation, being well tip to
the rear of the Federal right, and affording
good opportunity for correspondence with
Hurnaide on the left, at the same time al
lowing an unobstructed view of the center.
I am particular tn thus describing the
reasons and good judgment those oltlcert
(whether the General or hie staff) displayed
in making the eelection, as from these facts
arise the absurdity of what followed years
sfter the event took place, and auxgealed by
the principal actor in the affair.
Hut whether accidental or from a motlvt
of malice, the rumor went abroad after the
battle that McClellan'a Headquarters were
situated on a mountain tire milea away
from the fighting; covertly hinting to that
otHcer'a anxiety in avoiding unpleaaant In
juries from wandering and indiscriminate
shooting. No doubt these rumors sank
deep in ths amor propre of MnCleilen, and
with many other such stories embittered
feeliniia toward those whom hs aupKsed
hia enemies during the nr.
A truly great mind would pass over the
scofl's snd jeers of the outside world as so
much chsff. an attribute, unfortunately for
himself, the General did not possess,
although enemies and friends must admit
his ability.
McClcllan's retrest from Richmond to
Harrison's Landing, extricating hia army
out of the clutches of an able adversary,
backed by "superior" numbers, will ever
stand as a monument of military genius.
In view of the fnct as to which place was
the locale of the lleadquanera. a curious
and amusing incident occurred some two
years ago (184) during McClellsn's visit to
the scene of his lormer victory, he having
been prevailed upon by the citizena of
llageratown, Md., to deliver the oration on
Decoration day at ths Antietam National
t'emeler on May 30, 18H4.
The General arrived the day before, waa
umpluously entertained In the city alluded
to, and on the morning of the 30th a special
train carried the part to the battlvlleld,
where carriages awaited and conveyed
them to the dtucrent points where the en
gagement raged the fiercest. Now msrk the
sequel. One of the gentlemen- In the
carriage, pointing to the Fry House, re
marked: "Gen. McClellan, there is your old Head
quarters." To which came the astonishing reply:
"No. sir; I never waa in the house. I was
With Porter's Corps during the battle."
The statement aeema almost laughsble as
a good Joke emanating from so prominent
an individual, tbe writer of this article hav
ing ao regarded it in the light of what fol
lowedrepetition of tbe above and subse
quent events bearing on the statement
hardly ever tailing of producing a hearty
laugh from the bearers of the anecdote at
Little Mac's expense.
The narrative would not be complete
Without the following addenda tho second
aet of the farce securing representation two
yeara after a very long wait for the de
nouement, but useful sometimes, to allow
ths male portion of the audience to with
draw and smile.
Uaing the personal pronoun, T will give
my own experience in connection with tue
epiaode:
Having occasion tn the Rummer of 1886 to
walk from Sharpsburg to Keedyaville, (ths
route passes in front of the gate leading to
Fry'a House) as I nesred tbe snot a buggy
containing two gentlemen and a drivel
drove out of the private road. Being well
acquainted withtns owner of the vehicle in a
Jocular manner I extemporised my walking
cans into a mnsget, bringing it to toe
shoulder snd excWimlng:
'Fslt and surrender!"
The buggy stopped, driver and occupants
ejaculating "We surrender!"
Of oourse, having captured the whole af
fair, I immediately took iiossesainn by Best
ing myself hoaide the driver. After some
remarks bad passed, one of the prisoners on
the back aeut tremulously exclaimed that,
having been captured they would desire to
know who were their captors:
Humoring tbe Joke I replied:
"Tbe advance of Hooker's Division."
Judge of my surprise t ths reply:
"Ah, now you ar caught; ws sreHookert
Division. I am Ald in-t'lnet to the gener
al, snd this otHcer represents the 1st Mass.,
hilst you, sir are but a scouting party of
Moshy'a thieves"
"Gentlemen." I answered, "you are cor
rect In one particular. The regiment you
allude to was full of my most intimate
friends. Your nam-s sre atittlcient to cpv

claim all connect bn with the humbug
alluded to, and am prepared to meet a court

Tue principal spenkor of the two proved
to be Capt. t'andes, formerly of Hookers
staff, who told the following story.
it. ,H, ilia f'Hiitain from tbe
1st Mass, were making a tour of
their past exriencee on ths
battlefield of Antietam, reserving s visit to
Frv's House as the last point to reach.

The ladv renlied thst ahs remembered ths
day of ths bsttle. but did not remember
biro; to which ths Captain aaid: "I believe
that I can fully bring myself to your re
membrance if you will allow ua to enter
ths room in which Gen. MoOlellan received
reports from the field."
"Certainly, sin coins thla way," and led
them Into the room alluded to without
moment's hesitation. The officer, pointing
to tha table In the center, aaid: "This ia the
identical table on which the n sp was
stretched st the time of its examination by
Ilia General, who stood at that aide, You

This was enough. Ths old ladv smiled
gain over the wit of the General, it years
after Its utterance, and alluded to the cir
cumstances: also remembering the Captain
treated him as an old acquaintance. "Tbe
