under which are working those who
are not content with our form Of gov
eminent. Let us meet it by constitu.
tional methods, but firmly, as becomes
men. Let us not, after the 'lightnings
Of heaven have yielded to our philoso-
ply, permit the temptations Of earth
to seduce our patriotism.
The Maelstrom on the coast OF Nor
way Is themost celebrated whirlpool OF
the world. Over an r OF more
than one hundred and twenty-five
square miles the circling food sweeps.
1t is known now to be very dangerous
to navigation, and according to an
cient mariners whatever came within
the compass of this monster of nature
whether ship or shark, whether
whale or whaler-was drawn into
the vortex, hurled to the center, and
dashed to destruction by the whirling
food.
When the student of history looks
out on Times broad ocean, he sees a
political Maelstrom more dire, more
destructive, than that on Norway
stormy coast. 1t has circled since the
first republic rose, and has wrecked
and borne down all the free commons
wealths of ancient times by drawing
them to contradiction, despotism, and
ruin.
It's doom is like the Dead sea air,
And nothing lives that enters there.
There may be seen the wrecks Of
Rome, of Greece. Strong as they
were when they started toward cen
tralized despotism, they were as pow
erless to resist as is the straw to resist
the tornado which impels it. Had
the proud Roman been asked whethe.
his country's liberties would not be
thrown away, he would have replied
Indignantly, mo; they are to be
perpetual. Yet the p%retorian guards,
standing upon the ramparts of "the
Eternal City, with a loud voice pro-
claimed that the Roman world was to
be disposed OF to the best bidder BY
public auction and it was done.
Didius Julianus became the pur-
chaser, and was thereby made empe-
rori and mankind were shocked to see
the mistress of the world bought,
paid for, and controlled by the money
of one selish,s cheming ambitious man.
The Appian way no longer resounds
with the shouts Of victorious Roman
freemen, and the sad-voiced Italian
has sung his sad song in misery and
chains 10 the Getty of the Caesars"
Had the Greek been asked how long
his freedom would last, he would have
replied, with the same infatuation
which seems to have seized us, For
ever And yet the matrons who
raised up sons for the state, and sent
them forth commanding them to re
turn bearing their shields or borne on
them, = have been succeeded by the
groyeling tenants of the hareni, aud
slayish, degenerate sons have sue
ceeded free and noble sires all over
the land of Leonidas and Lyeurgus.
Let US take warning by their sad fate,
and not permit ourselves to be drifted
into this focus of centralized despot-
ism and destruction, either by CON
gressional NAL Legislation or byjudicial
construction"

form somewhat of an opinion, and a

spirit and elegant sentiments of Mr..

surface of the snow bank, what to his
astonished eyes seemed to be two beau
tifully colored BARRIERS poles projected,
each surmounted with a delicate femi-
nine boot. He called loudly on the
name Of the adored Miss Brown, but
no n answered, and he began to fear
that some accident had happened to
her.
Mr.. Hopkins sat down in the snow
and asked himself what was the duty
of the hour. To pull Miss Brown out
was not TO be thought of without a
shudder. 1t was clear to his mind
that he must rescue her in such a way
that she need never know that the
moonlight had shone upon-in short,
that she should never know anything
about it. After some moments of
reflection, he decided to go to a neigh
boris to borrow a shovel, and to reach
the head and shoulders ofMiss Brown
by driving a tunnel through the lower
part of the snow bank, by means of
which he could extricate her without
putting her to any inconvenience.
1t took some time for Mr.. Hopkins
to obtain a shovel, but his search was
finally successful, and he began to dig
his tunnel. The bank was an enor-
nous one, and he foresaw that he
should have to work a long time be-
fore he could strike Miss Brown in
paying quantities. He worked on
steadily and silently. Not a sound
c me from the imprisoned young lady,
though he repeatedly begged her to
make herself comfortable and to rely
upon his devotion and shovel. Fully
twenty minutes from the time the acct
dent had elapsed when young Smedley
from the postofice approached the
scene, on his way home. To his ques-
tons Mr.. Hopkins replied by explain
ing in the IN st delicate way the diff
Guilty under which Miss Brown labor
ed, and the means by which he was
o%ndeavoring to extrica'e her. Young
Smedley heard him through, and hen,
with a totally irreverent remark, ex-
pressing an i~nexplicable confidence.
that in the future he would be person
ally and completely "darned," lie
climbed the snow-bank, scized-that
is to say, took hold of-in fact, pulled
Miss Brown suddenly and violently
from her snowy tomb.
The young lady, severyone knows,
recovered consciousness in the course
ofthe evening-thanks to DR.. Sabin's
prompt and skillfulattention. Strange
to say, however, she conceived an I'M
accountable hatred for Mr.. Hopkins,
and carried it to such an extent that
she IS now understood to be engaged
to marry young Smedley. The most
painful feature of the affair is this
curious incapability on the young
ladys part to appreciate the delicacy
and respect with which Mr.. Hopkins
treated her. He would have dug her
out in the course of. an hour and re-
leased her without subiecting her
feelings TO the slightest wound, but
she actually preferred the rough and
brutal treatment to which young
Smedley subjected her. Can it be
that Mr.. Goodwin Spith is right, and
that we are on the verge of a moral,
interregpum?

AN IMPOSSIBLE DUEL.
PCculiarides Of the Code in
Vienna.

Vienna Cor. of the San Francisco Chronicle.
An amusing story of an impossible
duel" is going the rounds OF the sa-
looms just now. Kfew evenings ago
three well known officers, all of them
counts, visited the theater an der
Wien, now no longer the classic ground
1t was when Mozart and Beethoven
gave their concerts there, for in these
days it is devoted to light comedies,
provincial burlesques and some
times what in New York has
been called the leg drama
The officers chose to disturb
their neighbors by conversing in so
loud a tone that a gentleman from a
neighboring loge entered the box in
which the laxative officers sat down
and uttered the single word Rnhe !
which means peace, or be quiet. .
Count ). Immediately followed the
retiring intruder and presented his
card, demanding the gentleman's
address, saying his second should wait
upon him in the morning. The intruder
evidently a novice in the science of
pistols and coffee for two" replied
Thanks, Herr Grafp' and gave the
required address. The following noon
Count T., the second called at the
street number given, but great was his
dlsmay to find the gentleman of the
previous evening standing behind a
counter measuring off a yard of tape!
What can | serve you, sir ?" said
the busy shopkeeper, sleeve. buttons.

The dismayed nobleman replied not.
but at last he stammered out some
thing of the previous evenings in
suit, that he came as Count SIS second.
but
"0h, So" said the shopkeeper;
well, ifhis lofdship wants to fight
me, I'm all ready, and will be proud
Of the honor"
But, IMPOSSIBLE" exclaimed the
second you are not a noble and
our code"
Devil take the code. fCount s.
wants to shoot me, why not?"
IMPOSSIBLE" calculated the
second. 1T must be arranged other

man. perhaps you and the count will
meet meat - hotel, at 2 O'Clock to-
day, when | go to dine; your code
don't forbid you to dine with me. Do

And the invitation was accepted.
since the duel was impossible.
