No newspaper paragraph is com

have had whack at it. A Boston

College, recently celebrated his Goth
birthday" When the editor of the
National Teetotaler sees this item he
reprints it, ard adds: "He has never
tasted liquor" DR.. Dio Lewis runs
across this amended item, and he puts
it in his sanitary paper with the fur
Their addition: sand has never
smoked nor chewed tobacco" This
improved paragraph comes to the OBJ
servation Of political editor who is
hard up for an original idea. He
pounces upon it and re-produces 1t
with the amended information land
he has always voted the Democratic
ticket" So the simple statement OF
fact has not got its growth until it has
run the gamut of journalistic men
dacity and issued from a quasi con-
dition of embryo into the full hedged
estate of a supefstructure OF lies upon
a foundation of truth. The para
graph is then ready for some enter
prising druggist to polish off with the
neat remark "He owes his unremit-
ting vigor to constant use of DR..
Bolus's corn cure" which any well
regulated paper will print for the mod

What IS to be done with the fool who
"'didn't know it was loaded?" He al
ways contrives to get firearms, and
as he wears no outward marks of the
idiocy which possesses him, he cannot
be spotted by vendors and owners
of guns and pistols. Public warnings
do such persons no good. The news
papers tell about the fatal FOOLS per-
formances day in and day out, and
yet the list of fatalities drags it's mel
ancholy length along. Dennis Reilly
of Brooklyn went out calling with his
girl, Celia Renney, and the subject
of mesmerism was introduced. Den
mis- laid claim to mesmeric power, and
after failing to exhibit it to any ones

and, ''assuring them of the Weapons
harmlessness, it being entirely unload
ed, pointed it with an equal amount
of playfulness at Miss Renney, at
the same time cooking it and snap
ping it, This amused the company
very much, and Reilly felt that he
was fast making a brilliant impress
sion. He snapped the pistol once
more, and then pointed it at Miss
Renney's head, saying, "Now Miss
Renney, when | pull the trigger this
time my power will thrill you through
and through" The girl fell with a
piercing shrek" and died almost in
stantly. 1t was subsequently found
that two of the chambers had been
loaded. Why did not Reilly use the
remaining one on himself? Well, he

the pirating of news and concurrent

side of his nature, open always to the
few who know and love him best, is
that he is alive to every form of beau
ty and of poetry. A poem that touch
es his heart will fill his eyes with
tears, though his heart is never car
ried on his sleeve and at home he is
the most devoted and tender. of hus-
bands and fathers. Two years ago
he seemed to bury his fair young
daughter broken heat, and to the
gifted one who survives he is a never
failing, sympathetic, wise, tender
guide and friend. Questions concern
ing the public recognition and adj
vancement of women which have
come up in the senate have never
met with his encouragement or sup
port. His prejudice and his associa-
tons run in too deep a conservative
groove for that; yet, like many other
arge-brained men of the same sort,
he seems instinctively, by all his as
sociations with her, to try to atone
to the individual woman for every
thing narrow, bigoted and denying
in his mental attitude to that portion
of the human family to which she be-
longs. He is the most courteous and
delightful of friends to any woman
so fortunate as to possess his friend
ship.
Pre-eminent in the senate, both
for character and ability as a man,
he is little more than a name in the
states at large. The reserve and
reticence of his personal life and as
sociations make the emotional follow
ing which belongs to Blaine impossi-
BILE to him. His friends know him,
and, knowing him, honor him; the
innumerable multitudes guess at him,
but know him not.
These elementary facts would enter
into any campaign in which he would
be a candidate; yet scarcely doubt
exists, if nominated, of his election.
His high, unblemished personal repu-
tation, his splendid national repute
for distinguished talent and unques-
toned honesty, would carry every re-
publican state, and, under such a
president, the nation ought, indeed,
to flourish in peace for more thau four
years. Mary Clemnoer an Neac York
