The Tnglishman Abroad.

Odd as the ordinary Englishman
holds the right of being at home, it is
in going abroad that he lays himself
out to emulate the grOtesqUes Of the
stage. At home he encases his legs in
trousers that leave the spectators at a
loss to decide whether they grew with
the weaTer's growth or whether they
are basted on the limbs and then past
ed. His coat, too, is generally q gar
ment Of fantastic disprOportion to his
brawny frame, and his headgear-well,
there is really no adequate illustration
for this iaunty compromise between q
tin-cup and q stew-pan. 1t is, however,
when they set out for over the sea that
the Briton and BrtOness give loose to
what, in the current slang Of the day,
NAV be called the Crankeries OF person.
al adornment. Are they not known,
these artless guys, from BOulOgne TO
grand Cairo, from Berliu to Cadiz,
from Nice TO Peru, wherever Cook s
drove Of tourists have scorched the trail
of travel? Are not their ways, their
garments and their serenity the mex
pressible Joy of the Paris gamin? To
do them welcome doesn't every bOu-
tique from the Boulevard SebastOpol to
the Church of the Madeline cordially
announce that con speke English
here?" It is here that the ''One'' who
speaks English is always mysteriously
absent when the cOnfding BritOn pre-
sents himself to the accommodating
Parisian; that as q consequence he is
compelled tOmake his bargain by signs,
and that in the end he is neatly feeced
by the thrifty son Of Gaul.-PhtLade-
Dbin Times.

The Power of the Press,

One of the Old-time editors of Mich
igan, saws the Detroit Free Press, was
bOasting the other day that he had new
er been sued for libel, or attacked in
his sanctum, but he would recall many
narrow escapes. Twenty-Five years
ago he was running q red-hOt paper on
the line of the Michigan Central Rail
road. A man named Carson, who was
running for some county office, was
given a bad racket and the editor re-
ceiVed q note that if he had anything
more to say he might expect to receive
a good pounding. He had q still more
bitter attack the next week, and the
paper was hardly mailed before in
walked Carson, the candidate, accom-
panied by Il brother and two cousins.
The four were strapping big fellows,
and each was armed with q hOrseWhip.
The two compositOrs and the ''devir'
got out with all speed, leaving the ed
itor without support. He realized the
situation at once, and began:
'Walk in, gentlemen; I Ipresume you
have come to horsewhip me?'
eve have" they answered.
Every well. Have you thoroughly
considered this matter?"
eft doesn't need any consideration, "
replied Carson. 'You have lied about
me, and I'm going to lick you within
an inch of your Iife!"
Just so, my friend, but first hear
what I have to say. Did you ever hear
Of the press being stopped because the
editor was cOWhided?"
Il dunno"
well, you never did. Lick me all
you choose and my paper comes out
week after week lust the same. The
power Of the press is. next to the lever
which moves the universe. 1t makes
or breaks parties, builds up or tears
down, plants or destroys. Aggravate
the editor and the press becomes q
sword to wound and kill WOllOp me
if you will, but next week III come out
more bitter than ever"
There was an embarrassing silence
right here, and the face of each horse
whipper had an anxious look.

Kansas Prohibition.

So contradictory are the reports
Of the effects Of the law in Kansas,
We wrote to an intelligent gentle
man in Leavenworth, asking for the
naked facts In the case. He is an
ardent friend of prohibition, and this
is his testimony. We are sorry that
it is so unsatisfactOry;- New York
Observer.
'The whisky element Of the cities
in the State, backed by the re
spectacle citizens who like to in
dulge themselves, is so far defiant
and lawless. No attention is paid TO
the prohibitory law In this city
whatever Indeed more pains are
taken to make It's disregard more
open than usual. All the hotel bars,
saloons, grog- shops, wholesale houses
&c, are running the same as ever.
I hear it is so IN other cities. In
Topeaka the saloons closed for a
time, but are now running as usual
In the other large cities they did
not even close for a time. In the ru-
raj districts I understand the law IS
outwardly observed None OF the
Temperance leaders here have as
yet had the moral courage to bring
complaint and carry a case into the
courts; although a club has been
formed, money raised, and a prOfes-
sionaI temperance lecturer has been
hired to come in from abroad and
enter a complaint and so bring q
case, I have not heard as yet that it
has been done, however. One good
step has been taken in this city,
but by the whisky men themselves.
They have closed all saloons and
drinking-places on the Sabbath. It
has been a blessed thing for those
who IoYea quiet Sunday. This is the
only benefit we have yet received
from the ProhibitOTy law. On the
other hand, the Amendment did away
with all license laws, &c; and 80 the
city loses the large sum annually
paid, while no less whisky Is sold.
The candid opinion Of many earnest
Temperance men is, that the law Is
crude, clumsy and impraCtiCable.'

A Snaniah CitH at Nigbt.

As the shades of evening descend,
this whole street. illuminated with
lamps, torches and parti-illumined
with lanterns, becomes q fairy scene.
The cafes are then crowded to reple-
ton; youthful eyes flash love at each
other over glasses of snowy HOrchatas;
old men sip their spiced cOgnaC and
dream of the isles Of the blessed, and
fiery politicians rave and stamp and
seem ready to tear each other in pieces.
Here a group of artists discuss 4 pic
ture; there a couple of Padred are try
inc their hands at cards. here IS a
Young nliitd5re fresh from Madrid,
covered with spangles, and as gay as o
peacock: and there in that COrner-can
YOU believe your eyes!-the veritable
old beggar that you just saw on the
street, investing the piesta that you
pave him in q night-cap Of invigOrat-
inc cordial. Every rank in society IS
represented; every variety OF color and
costume flashes out beneath those brill
liant lights, while your ears as asSalled
bv the din of voices, the tinkling OF
glasses, the sharp click Of the dice on
the marble table, intermingled with
the strains of delicious music. This IS
De las Siarpes by night. Would you
not like to see it? 1t is aphantasma-
goria of splendOr; it is a babel Of con-
fusion; it is o page from the Arabian
Nights Entertainment supplemented
BY sundry passages from the 'Hero de
In Mancha.n

A 0nrions Court Scane,

After the Jury had rendered o verdict
Of guilty in the case Of Edward Earl,
charged with the murder of his wife in
Hamilton county, n. Y, the Court ad-
dressed the prisoner as follows:
''What have you to say why sentence
of death should not be pronounced up
on yOuP'
The Prisoner-sI don't feel that
could say anything now other than to
thank the Jury for the verdict. I be-
lieve they have done right; l believe l
have had affair, square trial all the way
through"
The Court There is no doubt, I
think, on the evidence, that the jury
have done right.
The Prisoner-''In my mind they
have done perfectly right; just as L
would have them. 1 agree with the
Jury in rendering such q verdict as they
did; but for all that, L am not guilty Of
murder -
The Court-''Why nOt?"
The Prisoner-''IO my way of think
ING, I believe I was justified in doing
iust what I did. I dOn't know as 1 can
analvze the feeling so as to explain it
in an intelligent manner, but that has
been my feeling. L have been dis
graced so that it is q matter Of indifer
ence to me whatever becomes Of me.
I have no thought of happiness in the
future whatever. At the same time 1
believe when a man is compelled to do
an act like that to wipe out some IN
Jury or disgrace he has received, he
ought not to survive the blow, and for
that reason I have opposed him (hi7
counsel) and have offered to come to
this court and plead guilty to the IN
dictment as it is on paper; but L was
not allowed to. l could have saved all
this trouble easy enough if they would
have permitted it.
The Court-"Is death no terror to
you?'
The Prisoner-"None whatever. L
LOOK upon death rs the greatest bless

that has been a curse to me for years,
and death would have been q blessing
[ would have welcomed. I don't say
that because I am desperate and rec6-
less OF because I don't know what
death is"

A Missing Letter,

Five years ago, says an exchange, a
maiden fair, whose home was at little
town near Macon, Ga, anxiously
awaited an important letter from her
absent lover. Days passed wearily.
The sighing lass haunted the pOstOfice,
but the pOstmaster's face always wore
that look of exasperating quietude
common to those from whom expected
things never come. The maiden thought
that her heart would break, for she re-
allied at last that her lover was faith
less. The scene shifts. It is Septem-
Der. 1881. In Macon dwells the same
lady, but she is now a happy wife, with
two children. She has forgotten the
faithless one Of her days of woe. She,
therefore is surprised when from the
town of her youth comes q letter bear
inc as a supersCriptiOn to her maiden
name that of her husband. An accom-
panving note from the postmaster ex-
plains that in tearing away some OF the
boards of a letter-Case the missIve was
found. The envelope is pOstmar6ed
''1876." The lady spanks the baby to
keep it quiet, while she eagerly devOurs
the contents. Heavens! 1t is from John,
who proposes in glowing words, and
begs for a kind reply. The lady's hus-
band also enjoyed the letter, and out
of curiosity communicated with reia-
tives Of the former lover. twas found
that he is ahappy Chicago pork-paeker,
with a wife and three sons.
