death Of that great actress, Lillian Adelaide
Nelson. The Cincinnati Commercial says
ITO those who love the drama, the news comes

that none who ever met her will be able to for
get; and over and above that, one of the greatest
.exponents Of q noble art that dramatic history
records-who can forget the witching eoquetry
and melting pathos of Viola as Nelson painted
her; the perfect woman, suffering Tmogen,' OF
the living realization of the masters ideal Ital-
nn maiden whose name is synonym for pas
sionate love. II Nelson is dead, Juliet is:

When There Is NO Point to an Article.

Justice-Young person, take fan,
cool yourself of, and let us see if we can
get little reason into your head. We
receive letters like yours occasionally,
and we propose to make an example Of
you. You write us in the regular style.
You begin by saying you admire us for
our bold attacks ON shams and frauds;
you like our honesty and our fearlessness,
and our wit and our humor, and our
cleverness, and our everything-an a
great deal more of the same sort; which
is all nice enough, though cheap. BIT,
you don't like our attack on-well, never
mind what; your toes have been trodden
on, that's all; and you don't like it. You
see neither wit nor point, nor justice in
our structures on your friend. You en-
joyed seeing other peoples friends con-
demned or ridiculed; but you don't like
it when it touches yourself. Then we
are unjust and stupid. You could for
give us, you say, if there were any point
to it. But there isn't-to you. Hasn't
it occurred TO you that others may see q
point and good one? Or do you think
that your friends alone are immaculate
and infallible; and that your interests
alone are sacred from attack? Fan your
salf, youth, and reason.-Puak

The wholesale surrender of the hitherto un-
submissive Sioux Indians, who went into Can
ada, now taking place at Fort Keogh, Mon
tana, was not unexpected, and the policy Of the
government with reference thereto was decided
upon long before the Indians began to make
their appearance. Orders were sent to the de-
partment to permit the return of all Indians
willing to surrender Internationally, and sub
init themselves and their property to the dis
position of this government. Sioux and other
Indians coming into Fort Keogh come virtually
as prisoners of war. They will be promptly
disarmed and dismounted, their arms and
ponnies be sold and the proceed turned into
provisions for their temporary Subsistence.
Eventually they viii be turned over to the In

How Joseph Cook Reads and Studies,

> Lyman Abbott writes to the Christian
Union: Joseph Cook carries a railroad
Shakespeare, and prepares his quota
Gons for his unique lecture on the
Shakespeare Conscience" on the cars.
He picks up everywhere; gathers every
thing. But in private he bewails his
treacherous memory. I never knew
student yet who did not seem to grow in
dignant with himself over the undue pro-
portion of all that he ever learned that
he habitually forgot. Mr. Cook is no ex-
ception to the rule. Yet he marvelously
preserves and utilizes the results of his
readings. His methods are peculiar I
violate no confidence, and I may give
aid to students, lay and clerical, if I report
here these methods, as he told them to
me. This preserving machinery consists
of three pieces: -
1. He always carries with him cheap
memorandum book. In this he jots
down, wherever he happens to be, a
thought, sentence, figure that strikes
him. The book fills up quickly. Then
a new one takes its place. He trusts his
memory to serve as an index to suggest
to him the date of the reading, the Incl
dent, or the thought there noted. taa s.l.
/ 2. he also carries package Of COM
mercial note paper. Any extract in q
book not in his own library, any fact or
figure worthy Of more careful preserve
ton, he notes on half-sheet of paper.
These are assorted according to few
large titles. The homogeneous ones are
pinned together. AS the pile increases
they are sewed. "I am going to lecture
tonight" " said he to me, .on ultimate
America. put in my bag my package
Of excerpts on America-a hundred OF
more-and look over them this afternoon
as last preparation before I go on the
platform" This method gives him the
full use of his resources on each subject
in each lecture.
B. He has not the contempt of some
would-be scholars for the newspapers
he reads and uses them. With rec
crayon he marks whatever strikes him az
Suggestive; throws the paper into cor
ner. Mrs. Cook, who is sort Of private
secretary to him, as many another wife
Of many another busy literary man, cuti
out the marked articles and lays then
close in an index scrap-book. When I
large store has accumulated Mr.. Cool
goes over, culls out those Of permanent
value, and pastes or otherwise preserves
them; the rest are destroyed.

Comfort.

"Suppose," he said, "that all the stream.
that run -
Should flow into one sea;
Suppose that all the sunshine of the sun
But for one hour should be
Poured on the folded heart of that red rose
That richly glows
Half within the light and half within theshade
OF its own leaves, all lightly overlaid
To keep it till it blows:
"Well, you would see this summer world, SO
In sun, and song, and bloom,
A wandering waste of water, weird and sad,
Held in uhbroken gloom;
And you would see, after the hour had sped,
That rose so red
A sightless, withered thing, lost in the sun,
And all the land of other bloom undone,
And dry as DUST" he said. -
"Suppose, then, you could have the world for
tears,
And win your wishes with sighs;
Have all the hidden sweetness in the years
And all the perfect skies;
All! then you think the way would be most
clear?
Ny very dear,
Your life would lie all wan and weird in
gloom;
Your soul would pass as sightless as the
bloom
OF that lost rose, fear"

Hail and Farewell.

He takes her head between his hands;
He looks down straight into her eyes,
As through the gates of longed-for lands
The pilgrim looks before he dies;
And sees what was before surmise
Take life, more beautiful than dreams,
Under the blue. untroubled skies,
Beside serenely flowing streams.
For him, that one full look redeems
The foregone raptures of past years
Sweeter than ever to him seems
The face he looks upon through tears;
fairer, though pale with pain and cares,
Striving to smile through all on him,
Till some quick thought darts unawares,
And anguish smites and makes it dim,
As if in some unheard of whim
The sun should top the blushing east,
Then sink behind tn horizons rim,
Like guest that flies the waiting feast.
When that supreme, sweet moment ceaset
Drear looked the day that lay before;
But they had glimpsed the sun at least,
And knew the light true lovingwore.

Love in q Tomb.

Several years ago young lady and q
young gentleman of this place, says the
Americas (Ga.) Republican, had . ten
der passion for one another, which
might have eliminated in q joining of
hearts and hands. The parents of the
girl objected to the young man on some
frivolous charge and forbade their meet
ing, but this interdict only gave zest to
their stolen interviews. One hot sum-
mer afternoon the lovers met by
chance" in the old cemetery, and were
sitting quietly on slab talking, when
they saw the girls father coming up.
The young man saw it was too late to
make his exodus from the place without
detection, so he moved the slab from
over the side-stones and slipped in on
top of the grave, replacing the stones.
The father came up and sat down by
her side upon the slab and stayed there
talking to her for two or three hours,
while the young man inside the tomb
had to endure heat nearly as hot as
Tartarus. He was on the point severa
times of begging for release, but, fear
ing the girl might have severe repri-
mand, he held his peace. About sun
down the girl accompanied the old man
home, and the lover crawled out of his
prison in a most ludicrous plight. The
grave had done more to diminish his
love for the girl than all the commands
q father and mother could have imposed
in a lifetime. He is still single, but the
young lady has been married two OF
three years.
