What q terrible mistake we do make
in this matter to be suref Is there q
family in the land where the genius
has not grown up into very poor crea-
ture-whose cygnet has put on no
swans plumage as he swan down the
stream of years 7 If the despised fool
has not as often developed into ge-
MUS, it is that geniuses are rare birds
that do not roost on every perch. If we
were quite wise ourselves, of course
we should make these mistakes less
often; but are they not almost impos-
sible to avoidi How can we look on a
bright child. quick in thought, ready
in speech, and full of childish wit and
fun, and refrain from doing the little
rule-of-three sum about it! If the
child of eight is so clever, what will the
man of thirty not be I Or, again, how
can we guess that the dull, thickwitted
child, sleepy and hstless, who has ne
yer seen a CLEAN of the others wit.
who has none of the charm and bright
ness of the other, dull in perception
and slow in speech-hOw can we guess
that he is a genius in disguisei How
can we tell that the quick early growth
of the one will be arrested, that his wit
will crystalize into flippancy, and his
cleverness into disputatious dogma
tism. And what is to make us guess
that the heaviness and cloudiness OF
the other is but the great ferment Of
great mental powers, the mysterious
development of q grand intellect

Abbottish account Of her interview at
Schwedt, after Jena, with her sons, the
late King and present Emperor, whom
she urged in the true Cambyses vein to
redeem and avenge their country. The
sermon moved everybody to tears and
applause except the Emperor. He
waited until the preacher appeared at
the chapel door, divested Of his clerical
habiliments and ready to return home,
and accosted him with, ''No such scene
as you have elaborately described ever
took place. The words attributed to
her certainly expressed my mothers
sentiments, but all that she said to her
sons was, you see me in tears. weep
for the sad fate which has overtaken us.
The King has been mistaken as to the
efficiency Of his army and its leaders;
therefore, we have been defeated, and

thus corrected, could not excuse nor de-

A Celebrated Dueling Ground.

Two miles and half above Hoboken,
on the Hudson, opposite New York, is
the celebrated Weehawken dueling
ground. 1t Is hidden away under the
rocks, twenty feet above the river, ap-
proachable only by boat. Here Aaron
Burr fought John B. Church, Hamil-
toms brOther-in-law and Hamilton,
July 11th, 1904. The distance was ten
PAGES. Burr and his second cleared off
the underbrush; Hamilton won the po-
sition, and fell with his face toward
New York, shot through the liver and
in the vertebra. He was 4S years old.
De Witt Clinton on that spottwice woun-
ded Samual Swartwout, saying, 81
wish L had his principal here" mean
ing Aaron Burr. George Wacher killed
Philip Hamilton at this same spot on
Monday after a Sunday duel. Two
pairs of boys fought here in 1901. Rob-
err Swartwout shot Richard Rink, col
lector of the port of New York. at Wee
hawken, and W: ii. Maxwell killed
Isaac Gouverneur at the same place.
Major Green of the British army killed
Benjamin Price, grocer, in 1919; and
Prices brothers fatally shot Capt. VIII
son, who inspired the duel, on Bedloe's
Island several years afterward. October
10Th, 1919, Commodore Oliver Perry
seconded by Stephen Decatur, received
the fire of Captain Wealth at the same
spot. William G. Graham editor of the
New York Courier and Inquirer, was
shot dead here by son Of DR.. Barton,
of Philadelphia. A person named Bud
was likewise killed here. Many others
took place at Weehawken, the last being
in 1915. Some of them were witnessed
by hundreds of people from boats.

When we are told that the unburned
ends Of segars are picked up for the pur-
pose of making cigarettes, we are
nightly struck with the destruction.
not to say waste, that goes on day and
night in the London docks, in the very
centre Of which, we are informed, is an
enormous kiln, which has long Chin
ney, known popularity as the Queens
tobacco pipe, for the reason that all for
feited tobacco and segars and other
articles said to be too bad for sale are
consigned to it. We are told that cart
loads of the odoriferous weed are car
ried to the kiln every day to be con-
sumed. While we convert cigar ends,
this seems like straining at gnat and
swallowing a camel. 1t is impossible to
believe that ali this tobacco can be
worthless. Even if it were sold for
manure, it would be better than turning
it into ashes. The NAV of this furnace
is omnivorous. Tobacco is indeed its
chief meal, but every perishable article

consumed. This certainly is nothing
less than disgraceful that good food
should be so destroyed, while poor peo-
pie in the neighborhood should be starv-
ing; but this of course we may expect
from the cruel mercies of Government
department, which was never known to
have bowels of compassion for any one.
"On one OCCASION" says Mr.. Simmonds,
5000 Australian hams were suffered to
remain, anticipating the removal of the
duty; when it did come of, the customs
would not allow them to be removed,
and they were allowed to remain until
they were so damaged as to be unusa-
ble." Nevertheless the attendants upon
the oven made merry over the hams,
which were cooked ready for their
breakfast. Tea, we are told, is not now
burned, because on one occasion a load
set the chimney-stack on fire. One
would have thought that a chimney
sweeper would have removed this diff
Guilty; but the ways of officials are in
scrutable. But what shall we say to the
fact that on one occasion the Queens
pipe smoked away thirteen thousand
pairs of damaged French Gloves? On
another occasion large number of for
eign watches, said to be gold, were
condemned as spurious, broken up and
burned. Surely for the purpose of
keeping time, watch i'm a sham gold
case would be useful, and may have
been sold for the benefit of the public |
revenue; but this was not permitted,
but what little gold there was upon
them was sold in the ashes, which was |

wHIrTIER'S CENTENNIAL HYMN.

Our fathers God from out whose hand.
The centuries fall like grains Of sand.
We meet to-day, united, free,
And loyal to our land and Thee
To thank Thee for the era done.
And trust Thee for the opening one.
Here where Of old, by Thy design,
The fathers spake that word Of Thine
E'sose echo is the glad refrain
OF ended bolt and falling chain.
To grace our festal time from al
The zones Of earth our guests We call.
Be with us while the New World greets
The Old World thronging all its streets,
dwelling all the triumphs won
By art or toll beneath the sun;
And unto common good ordain
This rivalship Of hand snd brain.
Thou who hast here in concord furled
The war flags Of gathered world.
Beneath our western skies fulfil
The Orient's mission Of good viii,
And, freighted with Loves golden fleece,
Send back the Arsonauts Of peace.
For Art and labor met in truce,
For beauty made the bride Of use,
We thank Thee, while withal we crave
The austere virtues strong to save,
The honor proof to place or gold,
The manhood never bought or sold
o. make Thou us, through centuries long,
In peace secure. in justice strong;
Around our gift Of freedom draw
The safeguards of Thy righteous law,
And. cast in some diviner mould,
Let the new cycle shame the old

Madame's Tai mas Patience.

One of Madam Talma's favorite exer-
cises was the ejaculation of the mono
syllable "Ahw 70 with an infinite variety
of notes to affect the mind of the hearer
in different ways. She used to shut her
self up in her room and imagine situa-
tions of horror or affliction, in which
she was herself the principal. She was
sometimes about to be dragged to the
guillotine, or her children were being
torn from her, or she was deserted by
her husband, prey to jealous anguish;
her emotion never failed to follow these
fancies, and her exclamations were
sometimes so agonizing that the reflec-
ton of them back upon herself almost
exhausted her consciousness. Her ex-
preston was purposely confined to.the
simple ejaculation "Ah!' for she
thought it desirable to acquire COM
plete command of tones before practic-
ing more complex forms Of meaning
shaped into words. Another of her ex-
ercises consisted in various utterances
of the short, seemingly insignificant
sentence of "Bonjour, Monsieur. She
used to imagine quarrel with friend
and then a constrained meeting, all
which her "Bonjour, Monsieur" should
indicate; or a concealed disgust, or a
hidden passion, or a cold disdain and
these phases she repeated till she was
certain that they must convey the in
feeling to any hearer of average sensi-
bility. Here is an example of that pa
tience of genius which Carlyle has spO-
ken of as its very essence. There are
probably many young people ente red
or entering upon the stage, and believ-
ing themselves clever, who will laugh
at the idea of these solitary, arduous
efforts of Madame Talma's; they will
say. 'How ridiculous to imagine your
self being dragged to the guillotine
how absurd to spend hours in giving ex-
preston to such a phrase as 'Bonjour,
Monsieur and no doubt If the great
artist were living still, as her reputa-
ton is, these persons would proceed to
"quiz her" according to their own no
tions. They might do that, and she,
certain of her art, might advance with
modest dignity to the centre Of the
stage, face her audience, speak few
appealing words in her tender, farltless
articulation, and meet the answer Of
fast-falling tears from every man and
woman present; for she never failed to
reach the hearts of her hearers.-Tem-
pie Bar.
