no democrat had the tcmeriiy to say

THE BOAT RACE.

The great international boat race be-
TWEEN Oxford anu Harvard came OF last
Friday at ; p. m or The river Thames.
and was witnessed by II n.illion London
ers. The Harvard boys were beaten by
only four lengths of the boat in distance
of four and a quarter miles. The dis
lance was passed over in twenty-one
minutes and twenty seconds The reason
why the Harvard boys were beaten was
because Of the irregularity Of their stoke.
The Oxford boys made their stroke regu>
iarly anG constantly. The Harvard boys.
in true American style, did their best first
and consequently gave out toward The
last. We are proud of our American boys
for their bravery in meeting The Oxford
boys as they did, and under the necessary
disadvantages of rowing IN strange waters.
1t was not so bad beat after all--but j:
has good lesson for us Americans. We
can 10 anything If we can have the
chance to do i: in the first half hour. We
are great for good and plucky starts, but
We have not yet learned that some things
can be done only by steady and regular

must start ''big," and immediate success
is expected. At first the Iarvards were
far ahead. We are ahead in every thug
al the start. We are brilliant at the be-
ginning. We have lesson yet TO learn
in this respect. Michael. Angelo, when
upbrsided for his slowness in the prepa-
ration Of certain statue, remarked that
''irines make perfection, and perfection i.
no triiic." We overlook the rifles in our
great haste 70 secure success. We think
OF The end rather than the steady and
regular use Of the means. We forget the
cents thinking of the dollars. We arc

THE BYRON SENSATION.

The atlantic Monthly for September
is setting the literary world "by The eaIs."
The article is w.ilten by Harriet Beeeher
Stowe She claims that Lady Byron con>
fided to her the awful secret why sepa-
ration was made between herselfan Lord
ID. ron. Lady Byron has b, dead nine
years. Mrs. Stowe now comes out and
publishes the secret. The secret is of the.
most damaging character to the memory
of Byron We all know that Byron was
far from being pure man; but this pubs
LEGATION by Mrs. Stowe makes him out
monster. We do not think that Mrs.
Stowe can justify herself In this publca-
lion. She has revealed q pretended SC,
cret, and the secret rests upon her word
only, and without any adequate proof
II looks like making the dead revile the
dead. II has the appearance OF an unllal-
lowed act. II is rude art in any human
hand TO jar liie'dust of graves In, opens
ing the sealed hips of Lady Byron i'm her
epulcher, and plucking from them y
n,nc-year buried secret of hidcous import
md very doubtful proof, Mrs Stowe has
made mighty sensation in the literary
world, but unless she can justify her act
by stronger reasons and u better array OF
facts than she has vet produced. We shall
still continue 10 read Byron with the
same feelings Us heretofore. The SIP

will be read by those who can never for
get the author of '-Childe Ilaroli's Pill
grimage,' or think of Byron but with
sadness, yet with love. But wherever i,
goes it will carry hideous thought TO be
forever associated with Ryron. Il was
enough 10 think of him as far fIom pure.
but TO think of him as a'uonstcr is some
thing we are not. prepared for. We wish
Mrs. Stowe had forever kept The so-ca:led
secret to herself, and permitted us to think
os Byron and ,-ad his works as we have
been accustomed To from childhood, IN
less she can substantiate her sO>called
secret % other and better proofs than she
has yet given. 1t looks too much like
sensation as the matter now stards-
and the worst kind of sensation. Mrs.
Stowe has raised whirlwind of cnndem-
nation il the literary world that she will
find Il hard 10 meet. IL is with regret
that we thus speak Of Mrs. Stoves arti>
Gle, for we admire her as woman and a
writer, and shar never forget Uncle
Toms Cabin but we think she has made
. terrible mistake this time.
