SILENCE CONCERNING PRINCE
PALS.

Why is il that the complete frank
ness with which Mr.. Blalue meets
every national question, taking the
whole American people into his coh-
fdeuce upon points usually marked
dangerous does not lay him open
to Democratic attack, or at least criti-
cism? On all the political charts in
use by democratic leaders protection
TO American industry is laid down as
a reef of sunken rocks covered with
warning buoys, danger marks. and
deterrent signals. Mr.. Blaine, how
ever, sails boldly in among these dam
ger signals, sending down his plum
met into their serene Il 'pths and
proudly demonstrates that instead of
being reefs of shadows they are deep
er than Democratic lead or plnmmet
ever sounded. whercupon all the Dem
ocratic pilots set TO correcting their
charts, removing their danger signals,
and declaring that protectionist wa
tiers have all the depth and safety of
the open seas.
Cleveland attempts to escape discus
sing the live issue Of protection by de-
claring that the presidency is not a
legislative office @, and therefore a
nomination to it does not call upon
him 10 discuss legislative policies. In
fact, however, tlis is a mere dodge.
lie dared not advocate free trade or
revenue reform, as this is not a good
year for doing so. He could not adj
vocate protection since his letter OF
last winter advocating and urging the
passage of the Morrison bill. Hence
his advisers warn him to let protection
alone.
Blaine is frank because, knowing
well the needs of the country, he eau
open his mouth without putting his
foot in it. Cleveland is evasive be-
because, not knowing well the need;
of the country, he could not well dis
cuss live issues without revealing his
relative mediocrity and incapacity

The Red Unread of Honor.

1t is related of Sir Charles Napier's
campaign of the Upper Scinde, that a
sergeant with eleven men became separ-
ated from the rest of his command. An
officer signaled an order. to return, but
they mistook the signal for command
to charge. There were seventy of the foe
behind breastwork at the summit of the
mountain. They fell there, these brave
eleven, after staying twice their number
There is, it is said, custom among
the robber tribe which these brave men
fought, that when one of their great war
riors is killed in battle, they bind his
wrist with a thread either of red or green
the red for the highest rank.
When the British found the stark bod
les of their eleven brave comrades, around
both wrists of each they saw the red
thread. These robbers and foes gave
the hero his own glory as best they
could. @

tolerably athletic young man took q
certain school TO teach years ago in West
ern New York after a number of peda-
gogues had tried it and given it up in
despair. The big boys had driven the
teachers away invariably, anS dis
couragement was so complete the first
day that they were not willing to under
take a second edition
This young man took hold with full
knowledge of the difficulty, and with a
hope that he could succeed. He was
mild hammered, and he opened the shool
the first day withsa pleading smile on his
lips that made even the small boys reck-
less. He was taking the names of the
children, and progressed without diff

times they call me Bob, and sometimes
they call me Pete, and sometimes they
call me somethin' else, but you better not
call me anythingm
The mild-looking teacher had been
expecting all this; there he had the adj
vantage. He had prepared himself for
fight, not fight for minute, but for an
hour or day, if need be; he had been in
a manner trained for it, and so, just as
the last words were out of the boys
mouth, he dealt the big lubber a blow
between the eyes that stunned him. and
then grasping him by the collar dragged
him headlong over the seats, stood him
up on the floor with jam, and Numbered
out -
''What is your nameW

promptly, and with his eyes fairly bulg-
ing from his head.

There was no more difficulty, and at

to be the best in the country.

A PluckY Robin.

A meek little chipping bird sat on a
fence post near the picnic grove in Cliff
ton, n. J. In an apple tree few rods
away a roSin was busyIng herself at her
nest. Suddenly there was a flash Of some
thing in the air, and a sparow-hawk
swooped down on the chippy, and the
next instant the hawk was soaring up
ward with the bird in his talons.
A number Of ladies were on the hotel
piazza. sorrowful witnesses of the cap
ture. The robin seems to nave been a
witness of the abduction also, and, to
the surprise of the spectators, started in
pursuit of the marauding hawk. Ove"-
taking the retrcating robber the robin at
once attacked 1t ferociously. She dealt
blow after blow with her back on the
hawks body with wonderful rapidity,
each blow being followed by tiff of
feathers from tie large birds plumage.
The hawk seemed dazed at first, and rose
almost perpendicularly in the air. The
robin followed persistently, and kept up
a ferocious onslaught. Then the hawk
swooped downward and turned abruptly
in another direction. Still the plucky
little assailant followed, and at every
stroke from her beak the hawk uttered 3
cry of pain.
The mid air contest was waged in d
narrow circle, so that it was in continu-
Gus sight and hearing of the ladies on the
piazza. The excitement was intense
among them. They loudly applauded
every blow Of the robin on the hawk,
and uttered endearing cries of encour-
agement The feathers of the hawk
fioated thickly about in the air For at
least minute the fight continued, and
then the hawk released his captive
from his talons
The chippy fell like plummet to-
ward the ground. To the spectators it
seemed that the little thing had es-
capped from the hawk only to be dashed
to death on the ground, when suddenly
it found its wings. and fluttering an in
slant, gained safe poise and flew to
perch near the one on which it had been
seized, and sat there as meekly as if
nothing had occurred to disturb it in the
least. The robin gave the hawk two
savage picks in parting. and then re-
turned to her nest in the tree.
The enthusiasm among the spectators
was unbounded. If the hawk hadn't
lost his head he could have turned on
the robin and taken it along with the
chippy to tickle his palate at his leisure
All that could be found of the hawks
feathers that had been torn from it by
the robin were picked up by the enthusi-
astic spectators, and will be kept as SOU
venirs of the unexpected and remarkable
rescue of the -ippy by the robin. -Neto

Old-FashiOned Courtesy.

1t is hard to define the etiquette of a
street car. OF course whoever gets seat
in car has a right to it. And yet no
man exactly feels proud of his sex to see
half dozen strong-legged, rosy young
men and boys seated while mothers and
grandmothers and gray headed sires tug
at the straps. Even the same might be
said of young misses who appropriate
seats while their seniors stand. A little
oldfashioned courtesy and politeness in
these days would not be amiss.

MN TO give up his wife and return home.
Ills grandfather's arms, he was told,
were open to receive him whenever he
concluded TO leave those Of his wife.
But he preferred his wife. The last
communication he had with his family
was when his cousin Frank, an Edin-
burgh barrister, who had assumed the
surname Drummond in lieu of his patro-

years ago.

Texas, but his lordship did not care to
take his wife and baby away from the
haunts of civilization and he declined.
At another interview Lord Drummond
took umbrage at remark of his barrister
cousin about his marriage, and losing
temper, consigned his respective relatives
to perdition. His violence was duly re-
ported by Barrister Frank on his return
to Drummond Castle, and the breach be-
tween the earl and his heir was wild
ened.
As matters are it is probable that on
Lord DrummOnd's restoration IN his
place in society, now near at hand, it
will be found that in his contact with
the world and his experience of poverty
and hard knocks he has acquired free
dom of manner and perfect savoir faire
under most diverse circumstances, which
will do more for his popularity than any
other amount of learning and conven-
tional refinement would be likely to.

Correct Speech.

Correct speech is such an indisputable
mark of lady or gentleman that it can
not be too often repeated that the true
standard of pronunciation is one in which
all marks of particular place of birth
and residence are lost, and in which
nothing appears to indicate any habits of
intercourse other than with the well-bred
and well-informed wherever they may be
found In the matter of accent, vocabu-
larry and pronunciation, the aim ought
TO be TO avoid all that is local, affected or
vulgar. Let no transgressors imagine
they can escape with impunity. Their
speech will betray them, and even well
educated children will be merry and sa-
tirical behind their backs.
