Thus quotes Mrs. Karr, who has written a
very clever book on 1.-THE American Horsewo-
man." Among the many English fash ions
good and ill, which our society women are
copying, is the very excellent one of horseback
riding, which is rapidly becoming a fayorite
form of exercise. Thus Mrs. Karr's book
comes at an appropriate time, and will, no
doubt be found to meet a constantly increas-
ing demand, and long-felt need among those
who wish to ride well. A woman necessarily
understands the points of difficulty for her
own sex much better than man can possibly
do; and yet, this is the first book of the kind
written by woman. 1t is simple, comprehen-
siye and full of practical suggestions which
will not come amiss even to pupils of riding
school. The illustrations are many and assist
one much in interpreting the text

Catholic In this weeks issue of the New
Age, Mr.. Plaisted cites this circular as a
reason why Catholics should not vote for
Mr.. Blaine. There is not the slightest evil
dence that this circular ever had the sane
ton or was circulated with the knowledge
of the Republican State committee or Mr..
Blaine. Mr.. Blaine has certainly denied
that he had any knowledge of it, and the
other members of the committee we think
have done the same. 1t was circulated en-
tirely for the benefit of Mr.. Plaisted, and
the probability is that it was concocted at
his suggestion if not bv himself.

Miss Stafford has made an excellent transla-
ton, from the German, of "Clytia, Romance
Of the Sixteenth Century" by George Taylor,
the author of "Antinous," novel which was
considered quite remarkable at the time of its
and, says the Saturday Review, "for obvious
reasons, much better adapted for general cir
eulatlon" than "Antinous." The hero is un.
der the influence of the Jesuits, who induce
him to go out into the world and work for
their interests, disguised as a Protestant cler-
gyman. He falls in love, however, with
beautiful girl, and the story concludes with
their marriage. The author is evidently an
Englishmsn, although he writes in the Ger
man language, and George Taylor is merely a
pseudonym.

MAoVEAGH stated yesterday that At
torney- General Brewster was responsible
for the $100-a-day contracts for attorneys in
the Star-Route prosecutions, and then pro-
ceeded to justify the enormity of the
charges by rendering an opinion that they
were not exhorbitant if they did not run
but q short length of time-say $50 days, at
most.
They seem to have run two years.
He said, further, that the suggestion Of
500 day first came from George Bliss.
VIII Brewster, when he is called to
testify, lay tho blame on Bliss, or will he
put it on Ker? Surely he will not assume
the responsibility himself, for he told Mac
Veagb, according to MacVeagh, that he did
not rant pass upon his O,cn account. One
thing the committee is sure of-that il
matters not who is morally responsible foi
the contracts, Brewster, Attorney General
to-day, is legally responsible for them.

THE Cincinnati Enquirer of Tuesday
last furnishes curious and instructive
piece of newspaper work.
1t seems that for two months past that
paper, which has an immense circulation in
Indiana, has been engaged in securing a
thorough canvass of that State in order to
ascertain the public opinion of parties as to
Presidential candidates, and with still
more special reference to the position of the
people ON the subject of the tariff. The
plan adopted was to address circulars con-
tanning the necessary inquiries. OF these
eight thousand were sent into different
parts of the State, and there being ninety
two counties in Indiana it will be seen that
an average of about ninety circulars were
sent into each county. 1t is shown that
about seven thousand answers were re-
tuaned. The following tables show the
Presidential preferences;

IT is pity there is no one in the
Springer Committee to cross-examine the
witnesses. The presence of ex-Cabinet ofli-
GERS seems to inspire q feeling Of awein the
committee which it did not have in the
presence of poor special agent or sus-
pected marshal. The true inwardness of
prqstDr- Route matters is not likely to be ar
fttd at by simply hearing the ex-Postmas-
ter-General read n carofully-propared paper,
or the ex-Attorney- General relate the story
of his extreme virtue without question
from the committee. The two together
make, perhaps, an interesting and readable
chapter of history, showing how easy it
was to get Cabinet position and how hard
it was to yield it up, but there is nothing in
either to throw light on the peculiar meth
eds adopted by the Department. of Justice,
