GIVING UP THE STRUGGLE.

Germany has a peculiarly German kind of wretchedness—the wtetcl ed ness of the highly educated poor. Hardly a winter passes without som > schoolmasters dying for want of the ordinary necessaries of life. The never ending production of doctors of law, ! doctors of music, doctors of philosophy, \ and doctors of theology, has filled the offices of church and state and school to overflowing. So around the fringe of official life the whole length and breadth of the empire tjhere hangs a hungry, poorly clad, disheartened, and embittered contingent of £h.D.'.jL.L.D.'s, and other less be tifcled scholars. If a man wishes to write a dark page m the every day life of the German people to day, he would need only to record the suicides of men who were trained to fill high places that were nevenleft vacant, or were left behiud m the mighty struggle of university graduates for offices which would yield them the unbutteied bread of life. If any person wishes to learn how bitter is the end of these unemployed scholars he should read the Btory of Paul Eulenburg, doctor of jurisprudence, who took his life m Blasewitz recently He was the son of a Berlin professor of medicine. He married twelve years ago, and lived m an unmarried happiness with bia wife. He had three children, 9, 5, and 2| years old, all girla. He had written much for magazines and newspaper?, had published several modest books, and had turned his band to one play, "Our Bismarck," .vhich was repeatedly presented m small Saxon towns labt. winter. He and his wife lived m a flat m Blasewitz, and were supposed to eke out a fairly decent living with his earnings m literature. They belonged to all the local societies such as abound m a German town of Biasewitz's size, seemed cheerful and comfortable, and for some time paid their debts with exemplary promptness. Then Eulen burg began to put off his creditors. His income grew smaller, and he made the most desparate efforts to increase it by tutoring, by writing, by copying, and by odd jobs at law. In Germany such efforts are doomed to failure ; the man who makes them finds every avenue crowded beyond the possibility of admitting the casual struggle. A tradesman came to Eulen burg with a bill for i 2 10s. Eulen burg pawned part of his furniture and paid it. Then cime another bill for £1 los, another 15s, and still others that must be paid from the proceeds of further pledges. Finally a bill for 3a found him at the end of his re sources. He locked the doors and windows of his flat; he did not open them to the man who called for his 3s. This creditor got an order from a court to enable him to seize part of Eulenbarg's furniture. He and a court officer broke m the front door of Eulen burgV flat. In the first room they found the three ebildrer> m a row on the floor, their faces waxen white and cold, and a bhert tucked evenly under their chins. Al! three were dead. In the next lay Eulenburg and his wife on the bed both waxen white, as were the children, and dead m each other's aims. Eulei. burg left a note saying that the struggle for v chance to earn his bread had becomw hopeless. He had poisoned the children, his wife, and himseif witl. prussic acid. The tradesman found bh 3s m a little.nickel pile on the bureau, accompanied with a copy of the bill. The janitress found her month's pay hi an envelope addressed to her. Eulen burg had paid his last debt. He gav< up the struggle, just even with th< world, which had nothing for him, as he had nothing for it.

BY "SENEX.")

The final payments for the Great Easter and Great Autumn Handicaps are due on the 14t,h inst. _ | Mannlicher is m g'eat form at present, m which case he must be very dangerous m the Great Autumn Handicap. The acceptances for the Great Ea9ter and , Great Autumn Handicaps aie now published and the former event has filled out well, but | the same cannot be said of the latter, a-> only nine horses are paid up for. To attempt to criticise the various contestants engaged m both handicaps would cover too much space, so I wiil simply confiue my remarks to the selec • few fiom which I fully expect to see the winner returned for the Great Easter. Taking a glance at the handicap as it now stands I piss by Mannlicher, Mus ketry, Waiuku, and St Paul, as I consider their chances are somewhat dim to my sight at any rate, This brings 'me to Gold pur, where I am inclined to stop for a little. I his horse has b en returned a winner on several < ccasions lately over sprint courses, and at 8.7 he reads well m. The next on the card is Vaniila (8.7). This mare reads a bit of a puzzle. Finishing behind Goldspur at level weights at Oamaru on the first day, and taking 51b from thot horse on the second day amt playing second riddle again, one would be inclined to think that on meeting a^ain m the Great Easter she would have to strike her colors to Goldspur for the third time As they are on the same mark I am inclined to think that • tho'waya of the wicked are truly wonderful,' and on that account I prefer the mare's chance this time. Skirmish r I will have on my side, as he ia training on all right, and M aremma must have a look m at the weight he is asked to carry. Nothing further down the list strikes me aa dangerous until I reach Bar&hot, who ' has undoubted pace, but is a very difficult horse to manage at the poat. The next one I come to is tne last, but not by any raema the least, of the candidates engaged from which I expect the winner to come, and with this horse I close my remarks on the Great Easter. Telemeter is the one 1 refer to, and he is by no nfeanß out of the hunt. This horse has mn several slashing races ) over short courses, and if the winner haila from the 7st division, Telemeter will, 1 imagine, be the one. The Great Autumn Handicap, run on the second day, though only a small field may go to the post, is considered by most sports a veiy open race. Probably the running of some of the horses engaged on the first day may throw some light on the winner. At present I think the w nner will come from !>ne of the two top weights—Mannlicher or Lord Rosslyn.

But who can describe a man's anger — controlled of course—where, every pre paration having been made for an urgent journey, evety. ' is lost through the horse falling lame, and the man—always the man—is the objtctof our pity. The horse's unuttered Bufferings are rarely thought of, beyond the removal of the shoe (often unskilfully done) and an imprecation | upon the blacksmith.
