Rome details are now to hand
of the recent trial and eonvletlon
iu Berlin of llerr Maximilian Bar-
deu, editor of the Zuknnft, on
chargea of leae majeate. There
were forty counts in the indict-
menta againat him, and the cumu-
lative penaltiea amounted to ais
months' impriaonment. Some of
the rulings of the court throw an
intereating light upon what may
eonatitute the crime of leae ma-
jeate in the preaent German em-
pire. For inatance, the Judge aaid
that if the accused had known
that a publisher, whom he attack-
ed for presenting to the emperor
a list of persons who had aub-
scribed to a work on the ten yeara
of his majesty's reigu, had receiv-
ed a decoration from the emperor,
then Herr liurdeti would certain-
ly have been guilty of leae ma-,
jeste. Bui, fortunutely for Herr
Harden, he was unuwure of that
fact, lu an open letter in the
Zukuuft addressed "To the Em-
l eror" there was lese majeste be-
cause the accused hud "indicated
that he was reproducing the
thiugs suid by evil-disposed per-
sons about his majesty. He had
therefore disseminated alleged
utterances which constituted leae
majeste." The article "Grand-
father's Clock," a description of a
youthful heir, was udmittedly in-
tended to apply to the emperor,
and it involved lese majeste. As
the accused had not been animat-
ed by "dishonorable sentiments"
he would be sent to a fortress,
not to prison. Incarceration in a
fortress in Germany Is beginning
to be regarded somewhat in the
light of a social distinction, and
overworked jouruulists find in it
an opportunity for rest and recu-
peration.

Another Anecdote of Clay.
There is in the city at preaent
a venerable and highly entertain-
iug old negro of the old school.
Chesterlieldian iu manners, re-
spectful. affectionate and faithful,
he is employed by Charles Shack
clton, and may be seen holding
the reins proudly and smilingly
as he takes Mrs. Shackelton and
the little ones out driving. This
man was once body servant to
Henry Clay, aud tells many inter-
esting anecdotes of the great law-
yer. and adds that he wore a long
"wropper." or cloak, and would
pace to and fro over the grass at
Ashland when meditating over
some great speech or legal busi-
ness. At one time, when Clay was
at Washington, he received the
information front some friends
that he had better get back to
Kentucky and tlx any shaky
places in his fences, as a gentle-
man living iu his neighborhood
was preparing to run against liitu,
and was making a lively aud ag-
gressive campaign.
"W hat on earth did you ever do
to him to make an enemy of the
fellow?" asked one of his advis-
ers.
"Nothing that I know of," re-
plied Clay cuttingly; "I can't re-
member ever doing him a favor."
Thirty-lite Years of Chess.
The pope is a remarkably good
chess player; in fact, it is only

Father Giellu—has played chess
with his holiness for thirty two
yours past.
