William Penn.

He appears at least advantage during
his young college days, in which
period we see him vacillating, uncertain,
unbalanced in his character. At one time
moved to his inmost heart by religious
conviction, at another he appears rs a flip
pant. rakish youth of the French school.
And SO. all throughout his greener years.
he appeared swayed, now this way and
now that. as any stronger character with
whom he temporarily came in conteact di-
rected him.
In the pages of .'Pepys' Diary" we see
him in one of these his youthful phases.
He says in one place: '.Mr. Penn, Sir
Williams son, is come back from France.
and come to visit my wife-a most modish
person, grown up, she says, Il fine gentle
man." Again he says: Comes Mr. Penn.
learning he hath got. but great deal, if
not too much. of the vanity of the French
garb, and affected manner of speech and
gait" A year or so previous to the time
of this entry he was so far influenced by a
well-known Quaker preacher of Oxford
as seriously to contemplate joining that
sect. When this reached his fathers ears
he was packed unceremoniously across to
the the Continent, where we see how quick
ly he was cured of his proclivities.
As man this lack of ballast appears to
have past away; his convictions grew
stronger. his character more determined,
and his life consistent. When old enough
to become thoroughly established in his
religious principles, he never abated a
hair breadth from the standard he took.
He is even known to have gone SO far as
to remain covered in the presence" for
one of the articles of his faith was to re.
move his hat to no man, and he obeyed
the mandate implicitly.
An amusing and we'll authenticated ac-
count is told of him in connection with his
patron, James ii. Shortly after the acces-
sion of that monarch, Penn was admitted
to an audience. He found the King stand
ing surrounded bv several of his cOurtiers
The Friend entered as he had been used to
do when James was Duke of York, with
out uncovering. Immediately, with a
great show of Difference, the King removed
his hat
"Why dost thou take off thy hat P''
asked Penn, rather taken aback.
because" answered James dryly, Il
am accustomed now to see only one man
in the company covered"
Such was the man who was destined to
found the province of Pennsylvania; in
his youth fippant and unstable; in his
manhood staid, upright, honorable. and
just.-HoUard Pyle, in Harper's Maga-
zine.

New Publications.

Houghton, Miffiin & Co. publish book
for the holidays, entitled "The English Bod
ley Family" by Horace E. Scudder, author
of the 'Bodley Books" This is the second
volume of a new Bodley Series. The grand
children of the old Bodleys and their parents
having made trip to Holland and spent a
summer there, go to England with their ap-
petite whetted for new feasts in historic fields.
BY singular chance they fall in with an
English family bearing the name Of Bodley.
Their long lost ancestors have been found,
and the descendants of their ancestors, though
very distant cousins, prove to be hospitable
and friendly. The autumn is spent in his
toric pilgrimages, and the connection between
English and American life, as discovered by
youngsters of both nations, gives an interna-
tional character to the story. The book has
numerous excellent illustrations. For youth
it is one of the most desirable books of the
season. Horace North has it at his book
store for sale.
Charles Scribner's Sons publish volume
n cheap form entitled ''John Bull and his
Island" by Max O'Rell. The work is trans

A Beautiful Sky Panorama.

An early rising CRITIC reporter witnessed
pretty sky panorama shortly before sun
rise this morning The wind which had
been blowing briskly from the South, car
rying before it fragmentary scud clouds,
suddenly shifted to the West. Immediate
ly thereafter the heavy banks of silver-gray
clouds on the western horizon began to
move slowly eastward, while the lower
scuds, travelling at much faster rate,
SKINNED along in southwesterly direc-
tion. These pretty movements giving the
sky Kaleidoscope effect, were soon sub
merged by a flood of crimson and golden
light as the sun peeped over the surround
ing hill tops on its diurnal trip. The many
colored illuminations and moving clouds
formed very pretty picture, and few
hours later the clouds merged into heavy
curtain of vapor and rain fell in torrents

The commencement of the Star.
KOute Conspiracy.

Inc phZelte,
James, the reformer--the sham who pur.
chased a position as president of yanderbilts
bank by the corrupt use of Government
money-wanted to distinguish himself. He
knew that ex-senator Dorsey had caught him
telling one story to Garfield and In fifteen
minutes after telling another to Senator
Conklfng and denying that he had seen Gar
helc. He knew that Dorsey had opposed not
only him, but all sham, mediocre men like
him for positions in the Cabinet, aud he hated
Dorsey.
Jewell felt that he had been overslaughed
by Dorsey's genius and skill as q politician,
and was dwarfed In public estimation by
him.
Macveagh had the same reason for hating
Dorsey that James had, and here commenced
the Star Route conspiracy.

During the last campaign, responding to the
wishes OF local Republican committees all
over the country, Dorsey selected the Weekly
Tribune, OF New York, as the campaign paper,
sending out hundreds OF thousands OF copies
weekly.
Mr.. Jones, the proprietor OF the New York
Times, became very Indignant, visited Dorsey
and declared that the Times was as thoroughly
a Republican paper as the Tribune. Dorsey
did not agree with him and refused to buy his
paper.
The Times, therefore, joyfully Joined Mac.
Veagh in his raid upon Dorsey. The old
charges made by the blackmailers in 1879
and ignored by Congress were revamped and
taken up by the New York Times. The 7lmss
had q grievance.

HOME COMPANIES THE BEST.
The Question of Insurance of the
New School Buildings.

Commissioners Edmonds and West are
inquiring into the status of the various To-
cal insurance companies with the dual OBJ
ject of vindicating these corporations from
the slurs thrown out by agents of outside
companies and of securing the best policies
for the new school buildings which must be
insured as soon as the contractors cease to
be responsible for them.
Both Commissioners advocate the local
companies in preference to outsi1e ones If
satisfactory terms can be made. Commits
sioner EdmoDds declares himself openly
that, everything being equal, he will favor
insuring in the home companies, provided
they can give satisfactory assurances that
they are in good condition, and that they
can carry out their part of the contract. If
they can do this, and will underwrite on
the same terms as responsible agency com.
panies, he is in favor of giving local people
the business, otherwise not. " want to
do this business on business principles, and
