A religion without festivals is hard
ly conceivable or ineligible to the
great majority Of men. Whatever
might be the effect of purely abstract
faith ON the highest aud most devout
OF minds, there il no doubt that such
u faith, having no visible ceremonies,
no formal periodical connection with
daily life, no recurring events to fix
Its great facts in the memory and inn
press them upon the affections and In.
telligence of ordinary people, would
rapidly lose the reality of its hold upon
the public mind and heart. All reli.
gion IL in its essence Joyous and con.
selling, and any creed with which an.
nlversary rejoicings are incopgruous,
must be practically falsifled by its ten.

and least truthful view Of spiritual
things. With the exception Of Christ

KNowNoTHINGIsM is fiourishing in
Mexico. The fear of their country
becoming Americanized Is intensity
ing this feeling OF antagonism to out

OF Mexico, speaking of the "yankoh-

couraging the introduction of improved
foreign methods, uses the quoted in
tlammatory language:

They are traitors In attending the concert

GALVESTON as well as Dallas will
send divided delegation to the Fort

Galveston Republicans split between
Blaine and Arthur. 1t is barely pos

Evans was potent in shifting the adj

AXTEILE,
The New Mexico chief justice is the
manager of the legislature of the terri
tory now in session. There We're two
wings of this body, and AXtelle, recog-
| niziug one and repudiating the other,
won /. share of potency which he em-
| ployed in this white-washing job.
Therefore, seven members of the body
voted for the assertion of confidence in
AXtelle. and the rest saying nothing
and knowing nothing about it in the
last hour of the session. Axtelle had
~ dispatch started here by II former
federal placeholder in the territory AS
sefting that the New Mexican Judge

traced to its source and soon
lost significance. L will send,
in few days, if il
can be obtained, the report of the COM
mittee which has been investigating
ANtelle's conduct, with the charges
preferred against him. These docu-
ments would fill page of the GAZETTE

Boswell's Genius.

In the London AHsnGxsr a writer thus opposes the popular impression that Boswell blundered into writing the best of biographies. "He had his own idea of biography: he had demonstrated its value quite triumphantly in the Tour, which, self-contained and organiczily complete as it is, is plainly not . record of travel, but biographical essay. In the Tour that is to say, he had ap- proved himself . great and original mas ter Of selection, composition, and design :; of the art of working large number of essential details into homogeneous and living whole: and of that most difficult and telling of accomplishments, the re- production and representation ot talk. In the Life he repeated the proof, on a larger scale and with vaseer scope, and with a finer mastery of construction and effect; and in what Mir. Napier describes as the task of correcting, amending, and adding to his darling work he spent the lev remaining years of his life. That he drifted into greatness, produced his two masterpieces unconsciously, and devel- oPed genius for biosr:Phy as one de velops disease, is "a ridiculous concep- tion, as Mir. Napier rightly says. In proof of 1t ve have Boswell's own words, and we have the books themselves. Such testimony is not to be oveHbome by any number of paradcxes, however plausible and persuasive That Boswell was gos- sip, . busy-body, and something of sot, and that many did, and still do call him a fool, is certain ;.but that is no reason why he should not have been great and admirable artist, and none why he should be credited with the fame of having de- voted the best part of his life to the pro ducticn of couple of masterpieces as M. Jourdain talked prose, without knowing anything of what he was doing. Turner chose to go 7-masquerading as Puggy Booth ; bat nobody as yet has put for- ward the assertion that Turner was un- conscious of the romance and splendor of his 'Ulysses and Polyphemus,' or that he painted his Rain, Speed and Sseam' in absolute ignorance of the impression 1t would produce and the idea 1t would convey. Goldsmith reminded Miss Rey- holds of .. mechanic, particularly . a jousaeyukaa tailor;;' but that he was un- consciously the most elegant and natural writer of his time is position which has not yet been advanced.

 "lt has often mussd ne" said well known railroad man, wAo spends his nights in the occupation known as bat ting around tovn, 10 obsesve how quickly he vaiters, harkeepers and osher men employed in rsstAurants or cafes ind out vho a man iA and how they stzive to see who can do him the most honor # he happens to be a man of im- portance. nyou win sit in Delmcnicds any night and watch the men as they come in to dinner, you will see how quickly the walters guage them up. The same is true of any other place in town.
 Twas standing in the corridor of the Windsor night before last, taking with . friend about this very thing, when weIl hmcwn man entered. Without giving you his name, I can say he invented | certain railway carriage which has made him millionaire. When he came into the hotel he nodded carelessly to one or two brokers who were sanding about the door, and they took o6 their hats to him with the utmost politeness- He vas ac- companied by man who had once been salesman in dry goods house on Broadway, but whom lucky chance had thrown in with the railroad magpates 1; the young man is with his wealthy friend at all time and in all places. He treats him with the most elaborate respect In return he makes about S7oooo a year by his constancy and courtesy.
 "Well, as the great men entered one of the hotel clerks bowed te them. The magnaie acknowledged the salute. No one would think of snubbing a hotel clerk, ycu know. Then he went over and wrote telegram at the desk, and the clerk bowed, smiled and called him by name as he took it. The hall boy picked bit of lint from his sleeve, and also called him by name and when he vent to the bar he was saiuted again in the same way. Of course, it is natural enough that such a man as he is should be known everywhere. But he is only an instance. Employees make it point to remember every name they can get hold of, and there is no doubt that it pleases a man immensely to be known by name at any popular hotel or restaurant The first waiter at Delmonico's who called me by name in the presence of a country friend of mine whom l had taken there to dinner received a substantial tip. At that time-this was some years ago-I was not in the habit of going to Delmon- ico's much, and one night when l was sitting alone there and nobody was within hearing called the waiter to me ar! asked him how he came to find out who was. He was very frank. He said when men were dining or drinking at his table, and there were any introductions he made it point to catch the names if possible. He had heard some one call my name, and night or two later man came in and left a note for me, accom- panied by an accurate personal descrip- ton, and ever afterward l found was known' at the restaurant. It is evil dently as much a branch of the trade as serving drinks or cooking a dinner. The man who finds he is known in al certain restaurant or drinking place will always frequent that place if 1t is at all ! convenient. You touch a mans self esteem and you have powerful hold on him."
