Extraordinary Display Of Au

An extraordinary display Of the Au-

was followed by several others, which
slowly approached the zenith, losing
gradually something Of their intensity,
which however, they recovered when
they disappeared toward the southern
horizon.
The flames were perfectly white, and
the heavens were soon covered with
flaming arches, which presented a
splendid appearance against the dark
sky, in which the stars shone brilliantly.
Toward midnight the phenomena was
more disturbed. In large, broad band
which passed through the zenith the
light, of all the hues of the rainbow,
waved forward and backward, without
its being possible to say whether the
light waves came from the east or the
west; but toward the east the flame was

A Broken Idol.

A quarter of q century ago Kossuth
was the idol of Hungary. No foreigner
ever created more of popular furore in
this country. Whoever dared to ques-
ton his sagacity as statesman or the
soundness of his political policy was at
once the subject Of popular disapproba-
ton. A professor of Harvard Univer.
sity wrote critical review of the part
which Kossuth had taken in the effort
10 obtain the independence of Hungary
and of the question at issue. For this
freedom of opinion he was denounced,
and the storm of popular indignation
was so great that he came near losing
his chair at Harvard. Kossuth was
driven into exile. Greater statesmen
than he dealt with the question. The
separate independence of Hungary was
merged into the question of uniting the
two crowns of Austria and Hungary.
That was accomplished in such way
as to make the latter practically indie
pendent is, the Hungarians are
the dominating power in Austria, and
even the Emperor was forced to be
crowned according to the usages and
traditions of Hungary. Kossuth was
never reconciled to this solution Of the
question He went abroad and has re
manned in voluntary exile for many
years.
Now comes this significant result
The Hungarian House of Representa-
tives has passed bill which provides
that every native of the country who
voluntary lives abroad for ten Successive
years shall lose his civil status. Kos
suth has lived abroad for much longer
period. We have here the remarkable
fact that Hungarian Assembly, the
popular branch of the Reichstag, should
strip this old patriot of bis civil rights
Kossuth is IS years old. There never
was o man who so stirred Hungary in
the cause of popular freedom as did this
mar. And now that Hungary has al
most attained under the broader states
manship of Deake and his successors
Just what Kossuth risked life and for
tune to attain, it is a remarkable re-
versal of popular favor which strips this
old patriot of his civil rights just be-
cause he chooses to live for time in
some other country. The idol is bro
ken; but even the Hungarians might
have remembered with more magnanim-
ity the services of one of her most re-
nowned patriots

Coming Home.

In our school days we used to come
home for our holidays in ripper years we
come home when they are over Yet it
is, after all, question whether we dc
not enjoy the return to the domestic
roof as much in the latter as in the for
mcr. A great part Of the pleasure Of
going away undoubtedly lies in the an
ticipation of getting back again to our
old haunts and habits. We take our
HOLIDAYS as kind of annual sherry an d
bitters, to give us appetites for our ordi-
nary modes of life /; and perhaps there is
no morning during our absence so thor
oughly welcome to us as that of the day
ON which we set out for town once
more. Everything at home has ac-
quired some fresh charm during our alb
sence. The servants, though they do
not belong to particularly grateful
race, are glad to see us back again. The
old rooms that we were so heartily tired
of before we left have now charming
freshness about them; and the little
sanctum with its books, papers and
pipes, seems a paradise after hotel coffee
rooms and seaside libraries.

One most excellent way of keeping

to call himself a "prisoner in Rome"
and possibly in time began to believe
it as fully as his people did all over the
earth. Surely twenty-five of the fifty
women might so out if they would not
blind themselves to their privileges,
and would open their eyes to their OPP
