We may take it for granted that every
nation dislikes to be discovered. To
suffer this carries with it the imputa-
ton of inferiority. There is always u
certain conceit and assumption in the
act of discovery. 1t says that we who
make the discovery are known, and we
condescend to introduce you into the
circle OF the world that Is known.
Often the discovery il nothing more
than an exhibition of the ignorance of
those who make it; but this does not
trouble the discoveries. The sublime
conceit of the Greeks that all outside
their own confederacy was barbarian
was not disturbed by finding in Egypt
q civilization older and refinement SUI
perior to their own. The early advent
urers and missionaries who penetrated
China really thought they wero intro
ducing to the world and its privileges q
land whose people had been highly or
ganized thousands of years before Eu-
rope began to emerge from barbarism,
who had discovered gunpowder, and in
vented printing, and knew how to make
porcelain. 1t was China that should
have discovered Europe. The Paris
ians In modern times arc the Successors
of the Athenians in possessing the
patent right of discovery. There Is
nothing amusing to Partisan in the
air with which Theophsle Gautier
crosses the barriers of his city and sets
out into the provinces on a voyage of
discovery. and with heroic self-sacrifice
pushes on into the unknown land of
Spain. The Parisians are, perhaps,
the only Occidental people who arc alb
solutely indifferent to the pretense of
outside people t. discover Paris, and
show no constituencies to foreign opin-
ion of their city. We in America have
been a good deal discovered aud ought
to be used to the process by this time.
The Indians were unduly thin-skinned
under it, and perhaps their Successors
have inherited something Of their sensi-
tiveness-at least that is the impression
in Europe. II is exhibited in dislike
to be gazed at and described ~ some
thing new and wild. Europe was for q
long time content with its early i'm
pressions--vast forests, buffaloes, rcd
men, society of barbaarism, tempered
by the bowie knife and the rifle. I'm
fortunately for US, it has begun to be
suspected In these later days that this
opinion needs revisal, and tho duty is
laid upon inqu'siti 9 and philosophical
souls of rediscoverinng America, of
inspecting it's institutions" of report
ing upon the looks and manners of its
women-always fruitful topic with
your true discoverer--and of account
ing generally for this American pho
nomenon. The English show the most
commendable zeal in this duty. and en-

The Forgotten Science of Carving.

The Detroit Free Press says: In
this lazy-man's century tho delightful
occupation of carving is almost for
gotten art Is used to be such pleas
ure for gang of hungry children to
sit and watch pa" sharpen the carving
knife, give it that preliminary flourish,
and then insert its delicate point under
the wing of the brown and odorous
turkey. To see pinions and second
joints, slices of white meat, crown drum
sticks, the pope's nose, all showering
in symmetrical portions from the noble
bird, and to wonder why turkeys didn't
have four legs and q double row of
wings! A good carver seems to give
AWAY all the turkey and go without any
himself. But when everybody is helped
he picks out pieces of tenderloin,
morsels of brown and Juicy meat, odds
and ends, that IA everybody knows,
are the tid-bits of the feast. 1t would
be as dangerous an experiment to ask
q young man of the present time 10
carve turkey rs it would be to re-
quire him to ask blessing on the
food. He would either sprain his wrist
or fire the turkey through the window
In an attempt to cut it In two.

A DemigOd Even In His Night Clothes.

It seems that the first patient of Dr..
Holoombe, Of New York, was Daniel
Webster Stopping at hotel In the
White Mountains, he was asked by
Fletcher Webster to call at certain
room, as his father was sick and wished
to see physician. Entering the room
the doctor found this extraordinary
man wrapped in sheet, sitting in q
large arm chair, and apparently alb
sorbed in deeply meditating a bronze
Napoleon at st. Helena. This oolloquy
followed:
W.-Are yOu the doctor2
HI am, sir.
WON look very young.
HI am very young.
W.-Where were you educatedf
HIN New York and Berlin Have
Just returned from abroad.
W.-Were you among the noun sains?
H-Yes. L travelled in Switzerland.
W.-Did you ascend Mont Blanc3
Half way only. 1t reminded me-
of you

matism ar govt. Can you do anything
for me.
HI know nothing whatever about
either disorder. Have never had case.
WI like your candor, young man !;
you may try what you can do to relieve
my pain.
The solemnity and sepulchral tones
of the great expounder must be re-
membered to make this interview inn
pressive. DIR. Holcombe had never
seen so grand q man. He was q derni-
god, even in his night clothes.

Spencers. Thcv are amused, they

genuine desire to make VS. known to the

is that when we send over discoverer,

IT is good lesson-though it may
be o hard one-for O man who has

and his chuckle died On untimely
death, and for full minute silence
reigned over the school room. At last
Alice raised her head aud in broken

school that afternoon. Quiet obedience,
study, good lessons, and respectful at

determined to quit the school; she felt
as if she would rather be the poorest
washerwoman than to be badgered,
bullied, and tortured for months ut a
time by set of brutal ruf1ians. whose
parents employed her for the sole pur-
pose of enduring this martyrdom.
SO when Alice locked the schoolhouse
door that evening it was with a mingled
feeling of relief aud humiliation that
she started to offer her resignation to
the din ectors. As she left the school
house she saw jim Turner few yards
ahead of her, walking rapidly toward
home. She called his name, and he
stopped and respectfully waited until
she had overtaken him.

.HARPER'S WEEKLY.-

When James G. Blaine deter
mined to give the publication Of
his history to some other house
than that Of Harper Brothers, Har-
per's Weekly became his foe, and
Geo. VIM. Curtis went to Chicago
to defeat his nomination. He pre-
scribed that there should be "a
smashing of the machine > no
unit rule" that "the candidate to
be nominated should receive the
unrestricted and unhampered votes
of majority of the convention, y
and that ''civil service reform
should be a marked plank in the
platform" The convention ac-
cepted all his conditions and then
to his dismay nominated James Il
Blaine by a two-thirds majority.
Still he took part in the ''subse-
quent proceedings" and counseled
the nomination Of General Logan
for the second place On the ticket.
In the convention he pictured the
Republican party as the most glori-
Gus in the history Of the Republic,
and the Democratic party as but a
gigantic conspiracy to obtain Office
and spoils. But he went home,
and under his hand Harper's
Weekly is simply most venal or
gan Of the Democratic party

This is the dubious way in which
the Louisville Conrier-Journal ex-
presses its enthusiasm for the plat
form: A political platform, after
leaving Chicago, happened to meet
an Honest Man. ''Of course, y
said the platform, sweetly, you
are Delighted, and will stand on
me with Pleasure" Right you
are," returned the Honest Man :
mot only shall I Stand on you, but
I shall Jump on you with Both
Feet" Was the Journal in earnest
or only making fun?" To the
average reader the item will appear
a bit sarcastic"

!. Mr.. Blaine in his letter says:
THE strength Of the Republic is
increased by the multiplication of
landholders. Our laws should look
to the judicious encouragement of
actual settlers on the public do
main, while it should heneeforth
be held as q sacred trust for the
benefit Of those seeking homes"

Protection or free trade-which
shall it be? That is the question.
Industry cannot live in doubt.
-Four years Of tariff agitation have
shaken confidence, arrested enter
prise, closed many shops, and
thrown thousands of men out of
employment. This agitation was
forced upon the people by Demo
cratic Congressman, representing
four-fifths of the Democratic party.
No one can deny that.

EVERYBODY freely admits that once
every four years is often enough
for the session of the Legislature.
Now as the members have nothing
70 do during the coming session
except to elect a United States
Senator, their time will be usefully
occupied in proposing amendments
to the Observation-Disclosures
Bulletin.
The people have become heartily
sick and tired of waiting for the
Legislature to remedy the defects
in the present Constitution. These
bodies for the last ten years have
frittered away large portions OF
their time in the discussion OF
amendments, but not one has ever
been submitted for ratification, in
the interest of economy or reform.
An opportunity is offered the
people this Fall to vote upon the
question of holding a Constitu-
tional Convention, and the prop
osition is certain to prevail unless
the railroad corporations are pow
erful enough to defeat it. If the
call is ratified by majority vote
Of the people, the Convention will
be called within six months there
after, a new Constitution will be
formulated and in running order
before the converting of the Legis-
lature in 1887. Presuming it to be
possible to effect the desired change
by legislative amendments, it would
require four years to accomplish it.
while by means Of convention it
can be done inside of two. The
people understand the situation
and will vote for a convention.
They will waste no more time await
ing legislative action.
