During the recent visit o'f the
Czar to Berlin Prince Bismarck
went to a performance at the opera
for the second time in twenty-four
years. Both visits were of a purely
formal character. The: Chancellor

late private secretary, Ton Busch,
that he would rather any day listen
to a good hurdy gurdy than the
fiuest tenors and sopranos in' the
world.

An Apology.
We are requested ' by Mr. J. A.
Bonitz, the Editor of the Messenger,
to publish; the following card of
explanation which will appear in
the Messenger to -morrow morning:
Our aim and purpose is that the
Messenger shall rank among the
clearrest .and most decent newspapers
of the day.and the proprietor of the
paper has always ."guarded its col
umns with a pardonable jealousy on
that line. For once our reporter got
us into trouble. To make a long
anil disgusting story short, we deem
it simtjly due ourselves and the Mes
senger to say, that the publication
of the evidence in yesterday's pa
per, of the infanticide case, is much
regretted and deplored, as it is not
at all in keeping with our sense of
propriety nor does it come up to
our idea of respectable journalism.
Unfortunately the report was net
seen by the managing editor until
after the entire edition of the paper
had been printed and delivered.
