MADE IN GERMANY.
i" The following grim jest is recorded of a German officer taken prisoner by the famous Regiment of the Russian Guard. Ho was surrounded with a number of his" men, and asked to Ifuow what Russian regiment had the honor of the capture. When he was told he said: “Then we have got to the next world, have we?” “How so?” he was asked. “Well, we know,” saifl the German officer, “that that regiment was • annihilated long ago with the rest of the Russian Guard regiments. The Emperor William told ns so himself.” When the truth was home upon that officer lie was the saddest of men for a deeper reason than the mere fortune of war.
