HON. JAMES LAwRENCR.


Hon. James Lawrence, the young
Democratic eagle from Cuyshoga
county, the nominee for Attorney
General, comes from old Democratic
stock, has father having been a MEM
ber OF Congress from the old Guernsey
District before the war. He is now
thirty-two ysars of age. He studied
law at Cambridge, Ohio, with the Hon.
j. w. White, and wRs admitted to the
bar in 1874, when he located in Clevs-
land amt at OEce became leader in
Cnyahcsa county politics, being fond
ly referred TO As the pride of the young
Democracy. AS all attorney he has
su0wn signs Of marked ability, and
ranks high at the Cleveland bar. He
had made no canvass, neither had his
friends. When it seemed that the
deadlock between Dougherty and r.
vine could not be broken 8 happy
thought struck the Cleveland dele
gates, and his name was presented as
q balm that would hsaI all wounds and
insure Democratic majority of 1850
in the OLD hotbed Of Kepublicanisin
now redeemed by the Democracy.
Lawrence was nominated for the Leg
islalure two years ago, when he was
defeated, the Clevelanders having the
bad taste to send down the Hodge Billy
Bloch delegation, instead of the hon
est Democrats presented. Lawrence
is undoubtedly popular, and will poll q
big vote i'll the Western Reserve.

er with the immehso manufacturing
establishments of P. Hayden & Co.
His first dash in city politics was eight
or nine years ago, when he was elected
te the city council, whore he distin-
guishsa himself as wise and judiciOus
lnsnicipal legislator. Six years ago
he was elected County Auditor over
Levi T. Strader, one Of the most pop
uiar Republicans in Franklin county.
There was bare Democratic majority
that year but Mr. Kiesewetter was
elected by over 5000 majority, and was
| reelected by nearly the same vote. He
| is an elegant mixer, one of the most
genial and accommodating fellows in

THE DUDE.

We find in one of the scientific essays
of the Neo0 York Post, a very elaborate
analysis of the dude, by which he-the
term is unqualifedly masculine may
be Enthusiastically pointed out whenever
seen. According to that very eminent
authority, a dude is a young man not
to exceed % years of age, dressed in
clothes which are fashionable without
being ostentatious, with very tight
trousers, a clerical collar encircling
his neck, wearing tall black hat,
pointed shoes, and carrying cane
generally with silver handle, under
his arm at an acute angle. The hair
is parted in the middle and worn in
"bangs.'' His conversation is implied
rather than expressed, for extreme Sc
dateness and absence of levity are in
dispensable to beinga dude. He never
laughs aloud or looks gay, as u high
spirited, hilarious dude would be con-
tradiction of terms. The mission of
the dude seems to be to crush the cad,
his meekness, silence and refinement
being so much the antipodes of the dis
tinguishig traits of the cad that the
latter is metaphorically speaking, cast
into outer darkness by the new regulator
of the frivolities of the world. The

include at least the simpler branches Of
kissing. Sheneed not go to the expense
of the more complicated methods if she
doesn't feel like it. But if she does
not learn some of the rudiments she
will never know how sweet it is to
swing on the front gate or lose her lips
in the depths of perfumed moustache
in the mellow vestibule. They say that
the more the girls know about kissing
the better they like it.
If this young woman does not like
kissing she had better let the young
man know it before they are married.
She certainly has no right to marry
him under the circumstances. She
would make him unhappy. Perhaps she
wouldn't like to have anybody kiss her,
but she should dismiss her present lover,
and then if she liked she could go around
kissing her acquaintances until she
found some one whom she liked to kiss.

SHE DOESN'T LIKE KISSING.

1t has occurred to young woman,
who seems to have some confidence in
the Times, to ask whether she can
safely marry man whom she now dis
likes to kiss. She explains that she is
engaged to him and he rather seems to
like the kissing himself. He is so per-
sistent and industrious in this part of
his love-making that she has lost her
patience and seeks advice.
The circumstances are quite peculiar.
1t is very difficult to undertake to ad-
wise a young woman who doesn't like
kissing, because without any kind of
doubt there is something wrong about
her. She ought to come out where the
other girls can look at her rs at a
curiosity. They would regard her as
very funny and wonder where she got
her taste. Truly and honestly, this is
probably the first case of a girl who
didn't want to be kissed ever made
public.
1t is a case as sad as it is unnatural
The young woman had better make an
effort to enlarge her education so as tc

TOO MUCH READING.

1t is no doubt true that the menta
habits which are necessarily fostered
by much newspaper reading-the
cursory skimming of paragraph after
paragraph, reading with the eyes rather
than the mind-have much to do with
a certain lowering of the mental key.
note which is observable in nearly al
classes of society at the present day
The reports of public libraries all ovel
the country show the reading habit tC
be rapidly gaining ground. Toa certain
extent, this is doubtless a good thing.
and yet it is quite possible that there
may be too much of it. Whatever tends
to stife thought cannot but be harmful,
and certain it is that a great deal OF
our current literature not only does
not stimulate thought, but rather acts
as narcotic, dulling the memory and
stupefying the reflective powers. A
little of it might do no harm, but even
good yet most of those who read at all,
in these days Of free libraries and cheap
books, read not little To be for ever
acted upon instead of acting, to be
always in an attitude of receptivity
which leads to no activity, to have one's
thinking always in the passive voice,
so to speak, must tend not only to
dwarf, but almost to paralyze, the in
tellect. A habit of rapid skimming
over even good books leaves no room
for reflection thought after thought is
dropped into the mind only to die there
instead of springing up and bearing
fruit hundred-fold and the more
precious the thought the heavier the loss.
The memory, hopeless of retainingfal
that is forced upon it, with no aid lsshal
the rejecting, combining, associatfA
faculties ends by retaining nothing.
Books are read for the mere pleasure
of the moment, and are forgotten as
easily as they were read. If only their
substance had been assimilated by the
mind, this had been matter Of less conse-
quence. They would have nourished
and built up the intelligence, and so far
have done done their their EEeFk But this the
majority of books of the present day
are scarcely calculated to do, without
more careful study than they are likely
to get. 1t is not with them as with the
books of two or three generations ago
then the lightest Of them were some
what hard nuts to crack they were
perforce worked over, nibbled at here
and there, returned to again and again;
to get at their sweetness was not so
easy matter, but once gotten, it passed
into the very fibre and taxture of the
mind. Hence there were fewer readers,
and they who read, read to purpose.
Giant thinkers are rare enough in any
age, but in the former time, with far
less Of culture, people in general were
thinking as they do not now.
To learn to think-that is the great
problem, the aim Of all our education,
the true object of all our reading. The
noblest employment of the cultivated
mind, how great the pity that it should
be so often lost in the craving for a
sensation which lasts but

EMERSON AS A POET.

| In q mastery essay on Emerson, in the
! April Century (of which the frontispiece Is q
| fine portrait of the Concord philosopher),
| Edmund Clarence Stedman refers in part as
follows to the poeticaI side of Emerson's
| genius;
Hermann Grimann recurs to the dis
pute whether our sage was a poet, a
philosopher, OF prophet. The fact is
that he was born with certain notes Of
song he had the poets eye and ear,
and was poet just so far as, being
philosopher, he accepted poetry as the
expression of thought in its rare and
prophetic moods, and just so far as, in
exquisite moments, he had the mastery
of this form Of expression.
Emerson's prose is full of poetry, and
his poems are light and airy. But this
statement, like so many Of his own,
gives only one side of truth. His
prose is just as full of everyday sense
and wisdom and something different
from prose, however sublunary and
imaginative, is needed to constitute a
poem. His verse, often diamond-like
in contrast with the feldspar of others,
at times is ill-cut and beclouded. His
prose, then, is that of wise man, plus
poet and his verse, by turns, light
and twilight, air and vapor. Yet we
never feel, as in reading Wordsworth,
that certain Of his measures are wholly
prosaic. He was so careless of ordinary
standards, that few of his own craft
have held his verse at its worth. It is
said that his influence was chiefly, like
that of Socrates, upon the sensitive and
young, and such is the case with all
fresh influences but [ take it that
those vho have fairly assimilated
Emerson'S poetry in their youth have
been not so much born poets as born
thinkers of a poetic cast 1t is inevi-
table, and partakes of growth by exercise
that poets in youth should value Il
masters sound and color and form,
rather than his priceless thought. They
are drawn to the latter by the former,
or not at all. Yet when poets, even in
this day of refinement, have served
their technical apprenticeship, the
depth and frequent splendor of Emer-
sons verse grow upon them. They half
suspect that he had the finest touch of
all when he chose to apply it. 1t be-
comes question whether his discords
are those of an undeveIoped artist, or
the sudden craft of one who knows all
art and can afford to be on easy terms
with it I think there is evidence on
both sides that he had seasons when
feeling and expression were in circuit,
and others when the wires were down,
and that he was as apt to attempt to
send a message at one time as at the
other. But he suggested the subtilty
and swiftness of the souls reach, even
when he failed to sustain it.

can count them here a score,
Chattering in their youthful gladness,
AS they cluster at the door.
All unconscious of her graceS,
See that charming little miss,
As she greets n waiting comrade
With q cherry morning kiss.
One has golden tresses, braided,
Long and lustrous, tied with blue,
With a pair of eyes to match them
OF the slty's cerulean hue.
One is of the penSive order,
Dropping lids and oval face;
Some are fnll of wit and humor,
Some of quiet, tender grace.
Ay! when taken altogether,
Grouped as one may see them there,
Show me, friend, diamond cluster
That with this one will compare.
Show me- on the walls of genius,
In the old world or the new,
ANY picture half as charming
As these schoolgirls sweet and true.
By and by they will be scattered,
BY and by will changes come,
Each one giving up her studies
For the duties OF her home.
Then though they may meet together
In the halls of nlirth or art,
They will meier, in such tableau
As this one, again take part.
Merry schoolgirls Happy lasses!
Future mothers of the race!
How we love to watch your motions,
And your sweet, unconscious grace.
How we love to smooth the tresseS
On your brows. without Il care;
Praying Heaven to watch and keep you,
Guide and guard you everywhere!

American Newspapers in 1888.

From the new edition of Messrs. Geo.
P. Rowell & Co.'S american Newspaper
Directory, which is now in press, it ap-
pears that the newspapers and periodi-
Gals of all kinds issued in the United
States and Territories now reach the
imposing total of II, 1876. This is an
increase of 565 in twelve MONTHS
Taking the States one by one, the
newspaper growth in some is very con-
siderable. The present total in New
York State, for instance, is 1,399-a
gain Of so in the past year. The in
crease in Pennsylvania is 48, the exist
ing number being 943. Nebraska's
total grew from 175 to Dol, and Illinois
from 800 to 904. A year ago Massa-
chusetts had 420 papers nowa he num-
ber is 43es In Texas the new papers
outnumbered the suspensions by s, and
Ohio now has 738 papers instead of
692. The most remarkable change has
occurred in the Territories, in which
the daily papers have grown from 43 to
SO, and the weeklies from 169 to 243-
Dakota being the chief area of activity.
The number of monthlies throughout
the country grew from 976 to 1,034,
while the dailies leaped from 996 to
LOOP. The figures given above are ex-
elusive of Canada, which possesses a
total of COG. It is interesting to note
that the newly-settled regions of the
Canadian Northwest are productive
of newspapers as well as of wheat, for
the number of journals issued in Man
itoba was nearly doubled during the
