Attorney-General Brewster at Long Branch.
Letter in Chicago Tribune.

Letter IN CnlcagO IrlDune.
He is a big and portly man, with face
awfully Scared by burns received when be
was a boy; but even this dirfigurement is not
SO notable as his singularitv of dress. He
outrivals the dudes in the frequency with
which he changes his suits, and nothing in
the present extremes of fashion will ompare
for striking qualities with his costumes,
which are modified revivals of the dandyisIn
of a quarter of a century ago. His blue
swallow-tailed coats, his nankeens, his high
stocks and low pumps, his varied hats, his
frilled shirt bosoms and wristbands-all these
make one wonder not only why he wears
them, but where he gets them to wear. We
all know how hard it is to get a mechanic to
do anything in the slightest degree different
from what is customary, and how Mr.. Brew
ster prevails upon a tailor TO produce his gar
ments is a mystery which l was tempted to
beg him to solve. But if l had gained that in
formation 1 should still have been left to
search for the secret source of his hats, and
l could scarcely expect him to let that out.
Brewster, .Attorney-general," as he signs
himself, after the English official fashion, has
a very handsome second wife, a child by this
lady, and several grown sons and daughters
by his first spouse. He occupies one of the
largest suites of apartments at the Rowland
House, drives good horses, and displays no
lack of money. Very dignifed and ire
proachable is Mr.. Brewster, with all his un-
avoidable and assumed grotesqueness, and all
the laughing at him is done carefully behind
his back, for nobody hin OF being disre-
Spectful to his face.

A Proposed Tourney of Chiva!ry.

LoHg DFahCh LeIteT.
During the month of August it is proposed
to hold here what is known as a Southern
tournament, a la ye knight Of olde. The
gentlemen who enter this tournament will
wear light armor, carry spears, have the titles
of count, duke, or lord prefixed to their last
names, and in many other ways will en-
deavor to initiate the brave days when Ivan
hoe welded a lance. Every knight will be
mounted and will wear some Distinguishing
oolors, which will also be adopted by the
sweetheart or wife in the audience. With
spear in hand a full score or more of these
warlike gentry will make a mad onslaught
upon sundry large rings and endeavor to i'm
pale them on their spears. The amorous
winner will then have the pleasure of crown
ing his wife or sweetheart the Queen of Love
and Beauty in the presence of all the assem-
bled maids and matrons, after which there
will be music by the band"

Do you make much money here from

The venerable cutter of grass looked pity
ingly at me over the tops of his glasses as he
replied: I'VE farmers don't invite these folk
out to the country cause we want society.
Oh, no.; we don't take in city boarders to

Stuff and nonsense. Why, when they
first come you'd think they'd never had
nuthin' to eat; they want to eat all the time.
When we first took boarders l kinder held in
on 'em. but l found a trick worth two of
that. l jest let 'em pour down all the milk
they want and eat all the apples they can,
and pretty soon the milk makes 'em bilious
and the apples give EN- the collie. and then
they settle down kinder steady like. Pm

The Creates. Obelisk.

Fhe Washington correspondent of the
Cleveland Leader writes: The Wash
ington monument is the wonder of
Washington. and its beauty the admira-
ton of both Americans and foreigners.
Already over $50 feet high, it rises from
the banks of the Potomac agreat, white,
marble shaft piercing the clouds, and
backed against the blue of the sky. 1t
is already the grandest obelisk the
world has ever seen, and in the aons of
the future, should the nations of the
day pass away, leaving no more records
of their progress than the mighty ones
OF the Egyptian past, it will surpass
the Pyramids in the wonder of its con-
struction. Ii is already higher than the
Third Pyramid, and within hundred
feet OF the size of the second. 1t is
taller than 81. Peters Cathedral, and
when finished it will be the highest
structure in the world. To-day the
Cathedral of Cologne, 5l2 feet high, is
the tallest in the world. Next comes
the Great Pyramid, 1873 feet high; then
the Strasburg Cathedral, 473 feet; then
the Second Pyramid, 453; then ST.
Peters, 40; St, Stephens at Vienna,
ii3, and st. Paul's at London, 3Si.

Accuracy of Expression.

Too often it is thought that the man.
ner of expressing an idea is of little
consequence, provided the intended
idea is conveyed to the reader. Many
Il man will say impatiently: "Oh!
haven't got time to attend'to the nice
ties of language. My correspondent
will know what mean, and that is suf-
ticent.h This is mistaken reasoning.
His correspondent is likely to be rs
loose jonted in thinking as he is in
writing, and thence arise blunderS and
misapprchensionS innumerable, Very
much of legal expense might and would
be saved if an accurate use of language
were common among business men. AT
least third of the verbiage of legal
documents is due to the belief once com
mon that certain set forms and phrases
were essential to the legality of the in
struments. Ii the habit of accurate
writing in everyday English words had
been cultivated rs assiduousy rs the
making of Greek and Latin translations
there would have long ago been fall
ing off in the business of the lawyers
both in and out of court.
Ther9 is n close connection, moreover
between the wrong writing and wrong
thinking. The man who writes loosely
sees loosely. thinks loosely, and speaks
loosely. Words have not for him the
same meaning at one time rs at another,
and they do not convey to others, rs he
uacs them. the idea or impression that
is in his mind. Nothing is lost it is
said, in the telling OF u story; but like n
rolling SNOWFALL, it grows rs it progress
es. 1t not only grows but it changes
its direction, until the facts intended to
prove one thing are made to prove an
other and contrary thing.
Complaints are numerous against
newspaper writers for their carclcssness
in handling both facts and opinions.
Doubtless there is much that is lacking
in even the best edited journals of the
day; but the remedy must come from
the people and not from tho press.
Journalists are merely those who have
taste and capacity for ncws-getting.
Nowadays it is by its news that n paper
is judged, and not by its fine literary
quality. The literary talent OF good
reporter may develope him into n writ
ing editor, but he can be II journalistic
success without it. A daily newspaper
sells its news, but ordinarily gives away
its opinions. When, therefore, the en-
bryo journalist leaves his school or col
lege with perfect command of English
having the other requisites Of success
innate, he will deal with facts truthfully
and will express his opinions accurate
ly. Manifestly, however, it is the meth
dds of education and their bent that
must be changed. Let Greek and Lat
in be provided for all who wish the
higher literary training, but first of all.
let thorough course of English be as

Parents are COnt,nuIii' confronted

and self-dcnial that he ha> undergone,
forgetting or perhaps not r'aljzng in
any proper sense, that il Wa> that toll
and that sclf-denial that m@dc Nim the
man he is. The mother has her foolish
notions about the rcspcc;aul.ity Of GER
tain grades of employment which en-
ables those following them to wear
good clothes and exhibit few of the
superficial evidences of refinement and
culture The boy, with his inexpericncc
and inability to look below the surface
of things is easily led to follow the we'll
intended but foolish judgment of his
parents and commences his life by
swelling the list of ok-keepers with
out ledger, doctors without patients
lawyers without clients and genteel
clerks without employment.
The first thing the parent or teacher
should do is to study carefully the boy 5
aptitudes. Having done this he should
be taught that any kind of honest labor
is honorable and that what he could do
best should be his calling, no matter
whether it was to make shoes or car
riages, to raise cattle or to butcher
them. MANY boy who might in time
become good farmer, owning farm
and home of his own, becomes an indif-
fcrent hand-to-hand salesman in store

soul and body together and provide no
accumulation for sickness and old age.

A little study of the advertising col
umns in great daily journal, or an in
quiry among the leading business men
of any thriving town, would cause n
revelation that would serve to deter
parents from making scmi-dudcs Of
their sons BY crowding the already over
crowded positions Of clerks and book
keepers with them. In the City of New
