The New York Tribune says: els
there something in the Western air
which develops energy OF style III
tue average journalist We find in
The Warsaw (lll.) Bulletin, an ac-
count of IA discussion between a
citizen of Warsaw and one Of Alex
andria, both perfect gentlemen
which Is full of il certain uncon-
sclous Homeric quality. After re-
counting the diretul spring of the
difficulty, he says, 'the AleXandrlan
very injudicIously called his inOf-
ienSive companion liar. Like the
Jagged lightning that hunts its
momentary way athwart the cloud
banked sky, the four OsseOus hills
on the back of the Warsawite's
hand were laid in the elevation of
the physiognomy OF the Alexandra
an. Like il door skater, his heels
slid from under him, and as he sat
down he wondered where the stars
came from that waltZed before his
ewes, am! the conclusion caused the
fluid of life to etferveSce like Il fresh
ly tapped beer keg.' At IA subse-
ouent stage of the proceedings, says
the chronicler, g the nervous fingers
of the Warsaw warriors left hand
tangled in the flowing ringlets OF
his Opponet, and with his other he
kept feeling all over his facial disck
far his pulse Bithus and Bacchus
never fought better, and their eX-
pioits were certainly never descrlb-
ed with more muscular rhetOric.'

The Insanity of Cain,

The following are the closing paragraphs
of remarkable article in Serb, ier's for May,
on "The Insanity of Caln:''
In Judging of Cain, look at the situation.
On the one hand, a terrible family mystery,
no schools, no churches, no lectures, no So
cety, no amusements, no apples! On the
other hand, the whole burden of humanity
borne for the first time; paternal discipline
undue chronological developments; mono.
tonous employment; antediluvian monsters
antediluvian parents, and an antediluvian
good brother in whose mouth butter would
have remained intact for ages.
Undoubtedly that brother had an exasper-
ating smile. He was happy because he was
virtuous. He had way OF torglVlng and
forgetting that for time would deprive the
offender OF reason itself; above all, he had q
cool. collected manner of his owr, added to a
chronic desire to be an angel. His offerings
always fulfilled the conditions. His fires
needed only to be lighted, and the smoke
was sure to ascend with satisfied, confident
curl far into the sky.
Gains, on the contrary, refused to burn.
We can see it ALL The smoke struggled and
Topped. 1t crept along the ground, and
clinging TO his feet, wound about him like a
serpent. 1t grew black and angry, shot side
ways into his eyes, binding and straDgling

And there stood Abel beside his pile, radi-
ant, satisfied, wanting to be an angel!

existed! No ordinary lunatc, however pre-

more than once But to this poor creature,
retribution suddenly assumed hydra-head-
ed form. His distracted brain, unconscious
that Adam was the only Other man i'll the

population. He saw himself falling again and
again by the strokes of successful assasslns.

first dazed glimpse of death expanded and in,
tensified into horror never since conceived

stretched before him forever, with no posi-
bic hope of final destruction, the only con-
ISOLATION is that he could not foreknow the
merciess verdict OF posterity. He lid not
recognize in himself The First Murderer.
Rather than dream of such ignominy as this,
was it not better that he should cry in his
rawlings: Every one that findeth me shall
slay me!
We leave the question to the intelligence
and the justice OF this faithful and enlighten-
ed century.
