THERE is an "ancient and a fsh-like
smelp' about the disclosures of the man
Lynch, alias Norman, or vice versa, who
has turned up as the latest Fenian approver.
of course it is possible that in sheer desper-
alton the Irish-American organizations may
be picking up mere strangers, entrusting
them with dangerous secrets and sending
them on perilous enterprises at short notice,
but 1t is just probable that the informers are
manufactured to order, aud that studied
attempt TO create such evidence as will war
rant extradition demands is in progress by
the British government. During the war of
the rebellion there was not nearly as much
anxiety ON the part of that government to
give up refugees from the United States as
there is now to claim concessions from this
side OF the Atlantic.

ST. LOUIS Globe: Those who predict con-
ndently that the West and South are about
to wrest from New England the leadership
In manufacturing, will do well to remember
that the degree of industrial development in
any community does not depend wholly on
the comparative chespness Of raw material.
Brains tell. New England, with the brains
for labor-saving appliances and small econo-
mics which its people have always possessed
can beat either Old England or Georgia
without them. 1t can certainly withstand
the competition in cotton manufactures of
any community which does not know the
difference between ''nicker' and a cent.
The industrial supremacy of New England
Is due quite as much to the intelligence and
the genius of its people as to the tariff or any
other external force. There is great deal
of talk in the East just now about industrial
schools and technical education. If these
words result in deeds-as words are apt to
among the descendants of the Puritans-the
South will not close up the New England
cotton mills for some time to come.

A Mystery Not Likely to be Solved.

IN l.. NoFlu.l
The announcement which has Just been
made by cable Of the death of Dr. Gully is
an announcement that the Biayo mystery is
never to be cleared up. 1t is just seven years
since the death Of Mr.. Bravo occurred, and
in that brief period all the persons connected
with the case have passed from the scene. 1t
was in December, 1875, that Mr. Charles
Bravo, weIl-to-do barrister of thirty living
at BALKAN, married the handsome widow Of
Captain Ricardo, woman some years his
senior. He was aware that during her Wild
owhood she had been on intimate term
with DR.. Gully, young physician Of repute,
but the intimacy had been broken off COM
pletely, and the husband displayed no signs
Of jealousy or discontentment. He was
rich, cheerful and devoted to his wife, who
apparently returned his affection. On the
10th Of April, 1915, Mr.. Bravo was taken III
after dining at home. His wife sent for Sir
William Gull, who told the sick man that he
had been poisoned. Mr.. Bravo assented,
declaring that he had poisoned himself with
laudanum, an assertion to which he adhered,
despite the PHYSICIANS remark that the poi
son, by whomever administered, could not
have been laudanum. Mr.. Bravo died on
the following day, having in the interim
made his will, and the post mortem es
ination showed that his death had been
caused by poisoning with anthony A SEN
sational investigation ensued, which lasted
until August. and ended in verdict to the
effect that Mr.. Bravo bad been poisoned
with tartar emetic, that he hal er COM
mitted suicide nor taken the . ecc-
dent and that there was no suhic,oa svi-
dence TO fix the guilt upon any person or
persons. In September, 1878, Mrs. Bravo
died at house In Sussex, where she was
living In retirement and under an assumed
name. Her death was caused by excessive
drinking, and she bequeathed to DR. Gully
her jewelry and large sum OF money.
Early In 1870 the case was complicated by
the dicovery of anthony In some Of the
wine purchased by gentleman in London,
Of the dealer who had bought the contents Of
Mr. Bravo's cellar, and 1t came out that Mr..
Bravo had bought powders Of quack who
advertised 10 cure dipsomania, and had an
nounced his intention OF weaving his wife
from her habits Of intemperance. The pow
ders on analysis proved 10 be composed Of
tartar emetlc, but these facts did not bring
the solution Of the mystery any nearer, since
why, If Mr.. Bravo had dosed the wine to
sicken his wife, should he have drunk it or,
knowing what the poison was, have insisted
1t was laudanum? Mr.. Brayo's father who
had taken much interest in the case, died In
June, 1881, and now DR.. Gully has passed
away, with the BALKAN mystery apparently
as much of mystery as ever.

When the President Works


happen to know something of President
Arthur's habits. He is great night worker
and very careful Of details During the day
he receives nearly everybody who comes and
he listens patiently to the story each one has
to tell. If it becomes rather dreary and
pointless he has way of stopping It, He
receives and lays aside papers and docu-
ments that are given him. On cabinet days
Tuesdays and Frdaysl all manner of things
come to him. He listens to what the sever
al secretaries have TO say on business of
their departments, and he takes the papers
and makes notes. His private secretary and
his clerks lay aside everything that needs his
attention. When the day is over the Presi-
dent dimes and gives himself two or three
hours enjoyment. H. smokes his cigar and
at dinner drinks his glass Of wine. When all
the really good people are going TO bed Mr.
Arthur goes to his library and sits down to
his big table, covered a foot deep with pa
pers. With eyeglasses astride his nose, and
In the light of big student lamp he dives in

shirt sleeves the ladies need not know it.
Hour after, in the stiffness of the night,
does the President work, and when he rises
every paper has been disposed of. This
matter has been approved, that disapproved
or rejected; another has been Endorsed and
calls for farther information; still anothel
is laid aside for future consideration. Some-
times the President works this way TIL Q or
even o'clock, but when he leaves hi table

grst. Ii, after this, the President takes a
little brandy and water before going TO bed,
it is none Of my business For ono am
very glad the President has gone to Florida
for little rest Every one who knows Mr..
Arthur's habits Of work knows that he Is
tired out. 1t Is very easy to say that he is
easy going simply because he does not insult
his callers with busy brusqueness, as though
he were hurried half to death. Because he
is easy aud polite in his manners before the
public, does not prove that he neglects the
work of his great office.

THE regulations of the officers of the ar
my and navy as gentlemen possessing a high
sense of honor have been generally admitted,
but when it was proposed on this account TO
transfer the control of the Indians from the
Interior to the War Department, so that the
red man would be sure TO be protected from
the rapacity of agents, there arose those who
asserted they were prepared to prove that
the army officers were no better than men in
general. A similar assertion was made
with reference to naval officers when it was
proposed to transfer the Revenue Marine
Service from the Treasury to the Navy De
partment. It is charged that these alleged
honorable gentlemen are inveterate snug
glers, and give the revenue officers more
trouble than any other class they have to
deal with. What is more, there have been
recent developments which go to substanti-
ate the accusation. Unless the naval gentle
men take speedy means to defend them
selves, they will stand committed as labor
ing under moral obliquity as to smuggling
second only to that which afiicts women.

OUR FIRST GREAT WRITER.

To this period, between the years 1850 and
1915, Washington Irving, our first eminent
name in literature, belongs. This is not the
place to enter into an analysis of Irylng's
genius, but 1t may be fairly said that while
In feeling he was thorough American, in
literature he was cosmopolitan. His easy
style, the tinge of romance, and the mlngllng
of the story-teler and the antiquarian re-
mind US of his great contemporary, Walter
Scott. In his quiet hnmor and gentle satire,
we taste the flavor of Addison. In the charm
ing legends with which he has consecrated
the beauties of the Hudson River valley, and
thrown over that beautiful region the warm
light Of his Imagination, We find the genuine
love of country and of home. In like man
ner We perceive his historical taste and his
PATRIOTISM In the last work Of his life, the
biography of his great namesske. But he
wrought as well with the romance of spain
and Of England. He was too great 10 be
colonial; he did not find enough food for his
imagination in the America of that day to
be thoroughly American. He stands apart,

ture, but not type of American literature
itself. He had imitators and friends, whom

but he founded no school, and died as he
had lived, alone. lie broke through the mar
row trammels of eolonialism himself, but the
colonial spirit hung just as heavily upon the
feeble literature about him.

IT is not so much as an illustration of the
honesty with which the department has been
administered that the result of the vetiilca
ton of the United States Treasurer's ac-
count is significant. Honesty is not to our
thinking such an uncommon virtue as some
people seem to imagine, and Mr.. Gilillan
will hardly thank those who give him so
much praise on that sscore. 1t Is because
the investigation shows that the work OF the
Office must have been done on an admirable

THE committee appointed by the New
York Assembly to investigate the mysteries
of scorners' and Futures" and to consider
the expediency of restrictive legislation, has
made an elaborate report, in which the
craze for speculation is Numerically de-
nounced, and the passage of bill designed
to prevent gambling in either stocks or pro
duce is recommended. Americans have
great faith in the saving virtues of legisla-
ton, but the longer we live the more we
shall find that there are many things which
transcend the capacities of the law-making
power, and many evils which can only be re-
formed by effecting the reformation Of hui
man nature. The rage for speculation is to
be regretted, but it does not admit of leg
islative remedy.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC.-It is a
clad picnic party. The Sunday school had
gone out into the leafy forest. The dark
object in the heavens, 800 miles wide and
1000 miles long is cloud. 1t got into the
woods as soon as the picnic, and IS there
yet. Under the great oak you can see the
dinner. The large waterproof mound in
the middle of the table sullenly laughing
at the storm is a fruit cake. The teacher
of the infant class made it herself for the
little ones. But the storm saved them.
See, the lightning struck the cake. 1t will
never strike anything else. There stands
the cake without dent and under the
table, shattered and blighted, lies the thun-
derbolt. Under the cedar tree is dying
dog. He got in the way and the superin-
tendent feIled him to the earth with one
blow of biscuit. The tall figure wrapped
in the ghostly drapery of water-soaked
linen duster, leading the way to the cars,
is the teacher of the young ladies' Bible
class. His influence with that class is gone
forever. The young ladies will never be
able to look at him again without thinking
how he looked on this occasion. Up In
hickory tree you see a grief-stricken face
peering down. 1t it the superindent. He
climbed up there to fix the swing, and be-
fore they could throw him the rope the
storm came up and the picnic adjourned
sine die and sine mora. And he is waiting
for the last straggler to disappear before he
comes down. He has Officiated at Sunday
school picnics often enough to know better
than to slide down shellbark hickory tree
before an audience. The man with the UNI
brella under his arm is the treasurer He
is getting drenched, but he does not raise
his umbrella. He knows there is a name
painted on the inside of it, but for the life of
him he cannot remember whose name it is.
He is watching his chance to give the UNI
brella to stranger Darlington Ha'cheye.
