The Handwriting OF Fan,ou. Men.
From the London Telegraph

lfrom the London Telegraph
Sometimes half dozen engravers are
engaged in rendering an artists drawing
Of n single subject, which, when finished,
presents to the unpractised eye one uni-
form style. Nevertheless Il practiced eye
can discover where each individual en-
graver's work leaves off and where that of
every one of the rest begins. In hand
writing, rs i'll other arts and i'll literature,
''the style is the man." For all that, the
evidence of handwriting, as of old style
generally, is not to be relied on when
mems lives and liberty are at stake. Still
less can character be Judged from hand
writing. Brave men may perpetrate II
timid scrawl, generous and high-minded
men may write II mean hand, and towards
produce bold and flowing script. Por-
son, the great Greek SC cholar, among the
untidiest of students, wrote neatly and
elegantly. Cromwell's writing, though
large, is shaky. Shakspere's signature is
net particularly clear. Napoleon Bona
parte wrote illegibly, it is said purposely,
to hide his bad spelling. The handwrt-
ing of the tortuous- minded Charles l. is
ms clear and striking aH that Of Thomas
| Carlyle is grabbed and indistinct On
the other hand Queen ElizaDetl's s writing
is magnificent, Edgar Allen Poe wrote
beautifully, and with scarcely an erasurc
whereas the manuscripts of Charles Dick
ems, to be seen i'll the Forster collection
ot South KensingtOn, are rugged and ful
of alterations and emendatlons. Many
men write large or small, i'll characters
boldly OF weakly formed, according t.
their humor Of the moment. Again
handwriting depends for its style ON the
school in which it is taught and the pur
pose to which it is applied. The manu-
script of Byron, of Thomas Campbell
and of Thackeray, may be called the lite
rary hand. 1t is uniform in color, small
and fairly legible, but without II super
abundant curve or flourish. The grea
mass OF copy which passesthrouah tn
hands of n modern printer is more or les
of the same character A commeria
hand, as it is called, is something quit
different, Given an envelope addresse
by City clerk. and one from the hand {
n University professor, it is well-nigh Gel
tam that the former will be more dis
tinguished for elegance and clearness tina
the latter. Again, the writingof the rui
tic and uncultured class is 80 much alik
as to defy differentiation. All this go,
to prove that the evidence Of exper
must be taken with the proverbial graf
of salt.

Somewhere In the Past so golden,

And great beds Of daintiest flowers,

And the streamlet ran below,

THE DEMOCRATS are getting ready
to make a hard fight for the Colo
RADIO legislature at the coming cleo
ton, and there is a reasonable
chance for success. The voters in
the state are very evenly divided.
The change of a few hundreds would
give the state to the democrats, and
the leaders among the latter say that
during last year and this spring
a good many bourbons have gone in
there from the southern states. The
democrats were bamEOOzled into the
admission Of Colorado into the
Union, believing it would go with
the party that lifted it from the con-
6ition of territorial serfdom; bat it
sent two republicans to the Senate
and has kept republican represent
alive in the House, except for the
brief period when Patterson
held the seat. The
next legislature will elect a sue
cessor to Senator Chilcott, and if the
democrats can capture the place it
will offset the Senator lost from
Oregon. Hard work is to be done,
andthere is said to be a good organ
ization with which to operate.

CONGRESS Is spending a good deal
Of time in efforts to reduce taxa
tion," but it is noticeable that the
proposed reductions are all in faver
of the rich and not in the interest of
the masses. The people will derive
little benefit from the abolition Of
the stamp tax on bank checks, as
they have no use for the checks; nor
will the taking of the tax off perfu-
merry help them much. Those who
use perfumery and bank checks can
well afford to pay the tax on them.
But it would help the poor people if
the duties were taken off their hats
and blankets and cotton and wooden
goods generally, and articles of food
and all such things as they must
from necessity have. IfCongress is
Iegislating for the people and not
for the rich it will make those who
can afford it pay the taxes and re-
lieYe the hard-wOrking and poorly
paid masses from the burden.

THE TEMPERANCE wave recently
struck Copenhagen, Denmark, and
a commission was appointed to in
Yestigate the question and devise a
better plan for regulating the liquor
traffic. The commission has re-
ported, and among other things re-
commend that the number of
licenses be reduced from $50 to 800,
that no landlord shall be under So
years Of age; female service in
saloons, except that of the hostess,
is forbidden; drink not to be served
to any person who is drunk, nor to
any one, male or female, under Is
years of age, and a drunken man IS
to be con Keyed to his own dwelling
in a cab or covered carriage at the
expense of the landlord at whose
bar he took his last glass. The mu-
nieipality will adopt the regula-
tions, which seem to be designed
really in the interest Of temperance.
In America such rules could net be
enforced, because we are free
people, and do not like to be re-
stricted in our right to get drunk.

The FREIGHT handlers strike in
New York has been long and
earnestly maintained by the work
men, but the railroads, as usual are
triumphant. The men are not re-
turning to work. nor can they with
out severing their connection with
the union. New men are being
employed at the old wages and the
companies are able TO move freight
quite expeditiously. 1t is thought
that within ten days the railroads
will be full-kanded, and the Strik-
ers must then turn their attention
to other employments. The strike
has been Il most expensive one to
the roads and besides is resulting
in numerous suits by merchants
for damages on account.
of the delay in moving
goods. At the same time it has
proven SO disastrous to the strikers
that one might think they would
never again indulge in such foolish
ness. Unquestionably the cause of
the handlers was just. They were
overworked and poorly paid; but
under the unpleasant circumstances
they were infinitely better off than
now. The union funds have been
exhausted and the men have &C
cOmplished nothing except to incur
the hostility of the employers who
will hire them no more if other
men an be obtained. If laboring
men would do a little earnest re-
fecting before striking they would
not so often be guilty of taking a
course to inJure instead of improve
their condition.

THOSE WHO mourned for GHiteau
will be pleased to learn that the as
sassin has been heard from. A
Philadelphia medium has been in
communication with Guiteau's
spirit. The murderer had met a
CT CUP of friends in the other world,
among them President Garfield,
who had convinced him that his in
SEPARATION theory was all wrong, and
that he had been the victim of evil
influences. Guiteau was not IN
happy, and although he did not say
so, we presume he apoIogized to the
late President, and made matters
all right between them.
