The Isthmus Question.

To Secretary Blaine's note on the Isthmus
question the English journals devote con-
siderable and not altogether admiring atten-
ton. While entirely courteous in their
manner of treating it they strongly object to
its premises, and claim that other govern.
ments than those of the United States and
Colombia should be permitted to act as
guarantors Of the neutrality of the canal.
That permission will certainly not be
given by this country. Our interests in the
proposed highway are too great to allow it.
We cannot, consistently with our own safe
ty, permit powerful nations, owning great
armies and fleets, to establish them
selves on the Isthmus and put themselves
in shape to seize the canal ON even
the threat of war. While we were
assembling our forces its gates would be
closed against US. To guard against this
contingency we insist upon our right, as
measure of self-preservation, to occupy in
conjunction with the Republic of Col ombia,
the mouths of the canal, and to take efficient
measures for the protection of its neutrali-
ty.
That the concerted action of European
powers suggested by the English papers will
be taken is highly improbable. The conti-
mental powers, with the exception of France,
have little interest in the question, and no
desire to aid England. That nation is far
more likely to meet their opposition than to
secure their support. We have no reason to
fear a European coalition.

"The Pitfalls of YOUTH by Carl
SchI1rZ

When 1 was little fellow in Stuttgart, with
yellow hair and wooden shoes, there came one
day to the school which attended an Ameri-
can boy named Jim Saunders, whose father
was New York broker. He was quiet,
simple looking child, with great, soulful brown
ewes, and an innocent look in his face that
made us all think he couldn't know much. We
used to make fun of his peaked face and thin
legs, because in Germany you know, the chill
dren are all round-faced and fat. Little jim
nv never seemed to notice that we were en-
joying ourselves at his expense, and he made
us think he must bs too simple for any use.
But after he had been in the school about six
months and could speak German pretty well,
circus came to town, and, of course, was the
sole topic of conversation among the boys. One
day we were discussing the matter, when
Saunders, who had been sitting quietly IN a
corner of the room, said he should think lit
tie boy might crowd in under the circus tent
and see the show that way. We all laughed az
this exhibition of ignorance, because we knew
how closely the tent was watched, and more
than one of us had been made temporarily de-
lirious by having the boss canvassman's boot
lean suddenly against the seat OF our pants. 80
when little Jimmy said this, we laughed near
tily, and Jacob Laudenheimer who was the
biggest boy in school, said that NOBODY put
seemed to think he was right, and finally jacob
offered to bet him two marks that he couldn't
get into the circus under the tent. Jimmy al
ways had plenty of money, and he at once took
the bet Then several more of the boys began
betting the little fellow until felt
sorry for him and finally con-
cluded to go him six groschen myself so
that could give the money back to him
when all the others had won theirs, and DO
noble act. Little Jimmy took my bet, and al
ter all the money had been put up with Mr..
Niersteiner, one OF the teachers, the whole
crowd went over 10 the circus ground to see
James lose He went right up to the ticket
wagon and bought ticket. Then he SAID to
the man, 'I reckon there is no objection to my
going under the canvas as long as l have
6aid NV way?" The man said certainly not; IL
ANYBODY wanted to take that trouble he had no
objection. So Jimmy crawled under the tent
and came out Of the main entrance IN MIN
ute looking Just as solemn and innocen. as
ever OF course Mr.. Niersteiner had TO give
him the money, because he had won it fairly,
and after he had put it in his pockets he
winked at us and said, "If you little TOW,
headed Dutchmen think l knocked around
New York eight years for nothing you viii get
left" This sad incident came near blghting
NV otherwise happy boyhood.

THE Venus of Melos, or of Milo, as it is
called, which Greek peasant dug up among
some rubbish on his farm more than half a
century ago and an enterprising French Off
cial carried away to become the chief treas
ure of the Louvre, has been the cause of no
end of speculation and conjecture as to
whom the figure was intended to represent.
The absence of the arms has always left this
question in doubt. The French officers who
first described it jumped to the conclusion
that, being partially nude, the figure must
have been intended for Venus; but Mr.. W.
J. Stillman, who has given careful study to
the subject, maintains in the November Cen
tury that the work is nothing less than the
Wingless Victory-Nike Apteros in the
Greek-which stood in the little temple Of
that name on the acropolis at Athens. 1t
was said that the Athenians made Victory
without wings that she might never leave
their city. When Pausanias visited the tenn
pie he found everything else intact, but the
statue gone. There are several bas-reliefs OF
this temple with figures of Victory that bear
striking resemblance to the statue, and
there seems to be well-grounded hope that
this beautiful work of art may be taken out
of the populous catalogue of Venuses.

WHEN interrogated in the Chamber re-
specting the Tunisian campaign, M. Ferry
will be able to say that something has been
done of definite and satisfactory character
besides spending money and negotiating
promising but impracticable treaties. The
advance upon Kairwan has so far been sue
cessful. No defence was attempted, and
the invading army effected the conquest BY
marching in and taking possession. Wheth
er the acquisition will prove valuable one
remains to be seen. The advantages Of
occupying decayed city one hundred miles
in the interior of hostile country, and o.
outraging dangerous fanaticism by so do
ing, are not apparent upon the surface.

THE Importation of opium by this country,
which in 1861 was 109,536 pounds, in 1871
had grown to 315 ,121 and in 1880 amounted
to 533, ,451 pounds. These figures indicate
an immense increase in opium eating. In
1876 it was estimated that the number OF
people having the habit was 225,OO0. and
now it is thought to be fully 100000. Some
persons become so accustomed to the drug
as to take immense doses. A Missouri
farmer took 40 grains of morphia at once
without apparent injury, and there are sey-
eral cases reported in which so grains a day
were taken regularly.

THE people of Florida are enthusiastic be-
levers in the theory that any and every
plant, tree and shrub, that can be produced
within the limits of that vast region lying
between the glaciers of Greenland and the
Equator, will find congenial soil and cll-
mate in their happy State. They have tried
the cultivation of Sisal hemp, jute, ramie,
the Agaye Americana, coffee, tea, bread
fruit, Chinese yams, ivory nuts, and almost
every plant and vegetable that is known or
mentioned, and in many cases have met
with marked success. They now purpose to
turn their agricultural talents to the produc-
tion of cocoanuts, which bids fair to become
an important industry the Seminole
State. A gentleman, named Carlos de
Maloney, has plantation of several
thousand acres on Stock island; ]. V. Har-
ris, of Key West, has about 1000 trees; e.
O. Locke about 10000, and Lieut.. Gov
Bethel is planting an extensive grove OF
valuable trees on one of his plantations.

Tloa ualne of Mental Tension.


A certain degree of tension is indispensable
to the easy and healthful discharge OF mental
function. Like the national instrument OF
Scotland, the mind drones woefully and will
discourse most dolorous music, unless an ex-
pansive and resilient force within supplies the
basis of quickly responsive action No good
great or enduring work can be safely accom-
plished by brain force without reserve Oh
strength sufficient to give buoyancy to the ex-
epcise. and, if may SO say, rhythm to the OPP
arations of the mind Working at high-pres.
snre is incomparably worse. AS a matter Oh
e~nerience. sense of WEAKNESS commonly
nracedes COLLAPSE from 'soverwork; not mere
bodiIv or nervous fatigue, but more or less
Conscious distaste for the business IN hand,
or nerhans for some other subject OF thought or
anxiety which obtrudes itself. 1t is the often-
sive or irritating burden that breaks the back.
Thoroughly agreeable employment, however
engrossing, stimulates the recuperatlve iacuity
while it taxes the strength, and the supply 9l
nerye-force seldom falls short OF the denaanu;
When q feeling of disgust or WEAKNESS ls ny n.y.

and like a complex piece of machinery work

THERE is considerable growth of legal
literature in regard to the right of bicyclists
on highways. The general rule of courts
seems to be to treat bicycles precisely like
ordinary vehicles, but the law is not well
established, and there is now contest in
progress in which the bicyclists' league is
trying to compel the opening of Central
Park to wheelmen. In England it has been
held that a too rapid bicyclist could be pun
ished under the law against fast driving.
