Charles Warren StOddard writes from Venice
to tho IAN Francisco chronicle ::
'.Ihc prosac cabman never annOys you in
Venice in hs stead the highly theatrical gon-
dolicr inploreS you to brave tho sea with him IN
\ bark that is as black coal, 1.-the as water
snake, RS mysterious rs night itself. No picture
can give tho living expression OF this beautiful
and poetic barge. 1t is long and slim ; its two
ends rise out Of the sea like tho warped edges of
n curled leaf; ts bow is decorated with proud
blade Of steel that flashes like silver and is
shaped like broadaXc, with the addition Of five
or seven teeth, as the case may be. The stem
and stern arc decked over and often richly
carved In the center is an open space, car
poted and cushioned, and when desirable, covered
with black bonnet that IS not unlike the box OF
u hackney coach.
There are glass windows in the SIDES Of this
dainty ana diminutive cabin, and glass door,
and from the peak Of the roof falls black pail,
rs dull and funeral in appearance a. a pal OF
Grape. This is the floating paradise Of two voy-
ayers. Black blinds are drawn across the win
dows and the door. There is single dcck-hand,
an uncommunicative gondolier. whose only cry is
70 tho right or so the left he nears
sharp bend in the canal. and thus halls or warns
the gondolier who approaches unseen. We rest
upon the waters like long ostrich plume. Two
thirds OF our barge is in the air; We rock lightly
from side to side, and wheel az easily and as sud
denly as a sea-bird on the wing. There is some
thing delicious in tho very motion OF the gondoa.
1t seems to live it threads its way ii by in
stinct through narrow passages that are OBJ
sc,lred by tho gloomy shadows of the old and
crumbling palaces that everywhere tower above
the stone cold siualor Of this strange sca-city.'

Fraudulent Fame.

There is too much Of fame obtained by false
prc.enses in these days. Certain women who
wish to be thought highly of by the world, aud
have not IT, talent and culture to do their own
work, have an easy way Of obtaining short-iyed
fame They hire addresses written for them
which they deliver ~ their own before such au-
dicnccs as they can entce TO hear them. Or they
get come obliging friend to write stories or art-
Giles. which they palm eff on uilsuspecting edit
ors as their OVID.
OF course women who do such things cultivate
what il known as cheek IN inverse ratio to the
attention they have given to their brains; but SO
long rs the 'chcek" helps them to win notice
and applause they are satisfied.
Some recent instances OF the kinds have men,
toned are quite enough to fill the heart Of rne
woman with regret for her sex. The ambition to
dazzle and the determination to shine at any
rate. no matter at whose expense, are too much
for the conscience Of some OF our would be
ladies.-GolieR iQa.

had committed suicide by cutting his

reached his old friend Perkins, who by
his ability and integrity had come to
be the agent of line of steamships
running between st. Louis and New
Orleans, and he went to New Orleans
TO investigate the report. Arriving
there, he learned that Long instead OF

no attempt had been made to discover

An HONEST DEMOCRATIC OpIN-

Mr.. r.. w. Stoughton, q distinguish
ed Democratic lawyer OF New York,
formerly of Vermont, has written a sec
ond letter ably reviewing the Louisiana
question In which he maintains not
only that the President is bound to
suppress resistance to the Kellogg Gov
eminent, but that there is a plan which
can go beyond the suppression of re-
sistance to the de facto Government
and which can remove the cause of that
resistance and of the violence which
exists. This he believes TO be the or.
derlng of a new election, to be held un.
uer the direction of Congress, by agents
provided by Federal law and in accord
ahce with such detailed provisions as
may be enacted, His reasons are main
~ grounded on the two several portions
OF the fourth section of the fourth arti
Gle OF the Constitution, by one of which
1t Is made the duty of the United States
TO guarantee to every State in this
Union republican form of govern
ment,' and by the other of which it Is
made the duty of the United States "to
protect State (under certain condi-
tions) against domestic violence" Mr..
Stoughton argues that the first portion
OF the section referred to, contemplates
aguarantee ofa "true representation of
the people," and that Government
placed in power by Illegal, fraudulent or
Violent means cannot be such form of
government as the Constitu ton re-
guires
