He Preferred to Walk.
Worcester Gazette. I

"She's pretty hot, amt she?n
said a backwoods passenger, ad.
dressing the engineer of a Missis-
sippi steamer that was racing with
another boat.
"So-so," responded the engineer,
as he hung an additional wrench
on the safety-valve cord to stop the
steam escaping.
III reckon we'll overtake that
craft soon,n pursued the passenger.
"That's about it," returned the
engineer, giving the cords another
twitch and hallooing through the
trumpet to the firemen to "shove
her up"
"One hundred and niuety.flve,"
hummed the passenger, looking
first at the gauge and then at the
boilers.
"That's about where she's rusti.
eating" put in the engineer.
Then the passenger ran his fin
gers through his hair nervously,
aud walked about the decks for a
few minutes, when he came back
to the engineer and observed:
hadn't you better leave that
boat go?"
"Can't do it. Must pass her."
"But 'sposin' we should blow
up?"
"Well," said the engineer, as he
peeped over the guard to see how
fast he was gaining, "if it's the
will of Providence for this boat to
blow up we'll have to stand it,"
Then he hallooed to the fireman
to roll up another cask of bacon
and to mix plenty of rosin with
the coal and give her little more
turpentine and oil.
The next moment there was q
splash in the river, but before the
yawls could be lowered the man
had succeeded in reaching the
shore and hallooed out:
$50 on with the race. / guess
I'lI walk"

What Voices Indicate.
tBoston Transcript

There are light, quick surface
voices that invOluntarily seem to
utter the saying ~ won't do to tie
to-" The mans words may assure
you of his strength of purpose and
reliability, yet his tone contradicts
his speech.
Then there are low, deep, strong
voices, where the words seem
ground out as if the man owed hui
manity grudge and meant to pay
1t some day. That mans opponent
may tremble and his friends may
trust his strength of purpose and
ability to act.
There is coarse, boisterous, die
tatorial tone, Invariably adopted by
vulgar persons, who have not sufti
cient cultivation to understand
their own insignificance.
There is the incredulous tone,
that is full of a covert sneer, or a
secret "you can't dupe me, sir,n
intonation.
Then there is "a whining, beseech-
ing voice that says "sycophant' as
plainly as if it uttered the word.
1t cajoles and fiatters you; it's
words say, ~ love you; / admire
you; you are everything that you
should be-"
Then there is the tender, musical,
com passionate voice that some.
times goes with sharp features and
sometimes with blunt features, but
always with genuine benevolence.
III you are full of affectation and
pretence, your voice proclaims it.
II you are full of honest strength
and purpose, your voice proclaims
1t.
Ii you are cold and calm and
drm and persistent, or tickle and
foolish and deceptive, your voice
will be equally truth-telling.
You cannot change your voice
from natural to an unnatural tone
without its being known that you
are so doing.

cersly yours, X. B. HAYES.
The reply is in q very different
tone. Judge Longworth quotes
constitutional provisions OF his
State preventing Judges from ac-
cepting either State or Federal offi-
ces; and, although he holds that the
State has no power to prevent any
citizen, eligible under the law OF
the land, from accepting Office, still
he believes 1t to be the intention OF
the Constitution of his State to re-
move from Judges the chance OF
preferment and the hope of honors
and rewards, and go he respectfully
declines to be q candidate. "The
man." says he, "whose high duty is
| to Judge people in matters of prop
erty, liberty and life, should never
be the servant or candidate of any
party or faction" but should "put
behind him pleasure, wealth, pride
and the hope of attaining anything
beyond the approval of honest men
and his own conscience" There Is
q true ring about this; 1t shows
that there is ut least one faithful
Judge on the bench, and fully ac-
counts for the strength, as candi-
date, which Judge Longworth
might be expected to display
should circumstances permit him
to stand. But it does not at all ex-
plain what President Hayes meant,
under the new regime of purity, by
holding out the prospect OF a term
in Washington, "very enjoyable
and not without advantage" as a
temptation to his friend to disre-
gard the honorable obligations ol
the Constitution of the State which
counts him among her judicial Of
ficers. Rutherford B. Hayes comes
from Ohio; he is q lawyer, and sc
are Sherman and several of his in

There is something decidedly strik

At Fulda, in Germany, there are
several schools for teaching bull.
finches to sing. The young birds
are divided into classes of from six
to ten each, and kept In the dark.
As they are fed a small hand organ
is played. The birds finally begin
to associate the music with the
feeding, and when hungry they
begin to sing few notes of the
tune they hear daily. They are
then placed In room where light
is admitted. This seems to render
them more lively. They are then
taught additional music, and epioy
singing. The most difficult task ia
starting the birds. Some are kept
