The White Elephant.

New York Tribune: A scandalous liter.
airy imposition has just been put upon the
New York market in the shape Of a paper
covered volume bearing this title: 'sThe
White Elephant. A story by Charles
Reade." The title, together with the fig
ure of an elephant. is printed in white OF
the black cover-"the same" as Truthful
James would say, with intent to deceive
Charles Reade never wrote q story called
1.-THE White Elephant" In 1856 he
published a story called "Jack OF
all Trades" in which are recount
ed the tricks and tempers of
performing elephant named "Djek.'
The author of the latest attempt upon the
credulity Of the public has simply adapted
this old story by changing the title, omit
ting the opening chapters, and interpo'
lating the word swhite" into the text
wherever "Djek" is mentioned" We
cannot recall a more impudent piece Of
literary dishonesty than this attempt tc
palm off this clumsy adaptation as a new
story BY Charles Reade.

sullivan and Thompson.

Progress is the order of the day, and
there is progress in the ambitious op-
ponents OF John l.. Sullivan as well as in
anything else. The last one, a Mr.. Thomp-
son of Cleveland, is thought to be the best
that has yet said he would try to take away
Sullivan's reputation by fighting it away
from him, and once more the bipartisan
lovers of the sparring ring hope to see the
champion meet his equal, not from ami
mostly toward Sullivan, but from the love
of having honors more equally distributed.
Thompson's admirers think that Sullivan
will have a harder job with their favorite
than he ever had before, and that is posi-
BILE. But those who occasionally find some
new slugger who they think is good enough
to get the better Of the champion, generally
forget that, in spite of lax ideas of train
ing, every time Mr.. Sullivan has appeared
in public on an important occasion he has
been a harder man TO lick than he was the
time before. Thompson might, perhaps,
have outfought the Sullivan who fought
Ryan, but will he be able to do the same
thing to the Sullivan who will meet

Such is Life.

Bill Nye is a lucky and an unlucky
dog. He picked up a bit Of paper in the
street on which was inscribed 1884. He
bought ticket In the lottery of the same
number and drew $4,000. This he in
vested in a gold mine, and at the end Of
six months he took the poor debtors oath
He then went to Cape May, and while
walking on the beach he discovered q
young lady sinking for the third time.
He rescued her and received 5 1000 from
her rich father. That night he fought the
tiger and had to borrow a quarter to get 9
breakfast. He then took a job to put uI
a telephone wire, and while doing so hi
upon an idea, which he sold to the company
for $4,000. He spent $4,000 in solving the
worthlessness of a new electric light. He
concluded for the first time in his life that
he would salt the remainder down in good
real estate, and so he bought a farm and
went to work. He resolved to dig a we'll,
and the third day he struck a vein Of coal,
and has been offered $50, 900 for one-hsli
of his farm. Such is life.

Are They Too Much Occupied so
Save Their ChiIdren?
The daily record of news no longer seems
complete without Q report Of the discovery
OF a gang Of small boys intent on large
crimes, or on becoming cowboys, circus
riders or Indian exterminators, being
moved thereto by improper books and too
much leisure and liberty. The latest story
is OF a gang of Is youngsters, ranging in
age from IL to Is years, who have a eden"
In a South Boston cellar and converse in a
language devised exclusively for their own
use, their purpose, apparently, being
petit larceny. Where are the parents,
particularly the fathers, of these boys ?
Family men who live in large cities seldom
see their children except early in the morn
ing and late in the evening; but nc man
is 80 busy as not to have some time to de-
vote to his boys, to provide them with de-
cent reading matter and give proper direc-
ton to their minds. To make MONEY is
all very we'll, it can be done honorably;
Blu 1t is worse than dishonorable for any
one to be 30 absorbed in business that his
children are left in undisturbed contact
with the many demoralizing influences
peculiar TO large cities.-New York Herald.
What is said by the Herald about boys
in the big cities applies quite as forcibly
to boys Of little towns who are neglected
and allowed to drift into whatever vices
the unrestrained 'animal-that is our
nature-instinctively runs to. Admit
that there is s'original sin" or account
for human depravity any other way you
please. there is no doubt that children are
by nature nothing in morals above the little
animals. The ~ennobling attributes of hon
esty and truth come from cultivation.
This is q harsh declaration certainly, but
1t ia q fact nevertheless. Parents who are
sensible recognize it as such, and do not
waste time and conscience in labored argu-
ment to prove the contrary. No parent
that does not blindfold himself feels safe
for the future of his offspring. If a boy be
let alone to follow his own ~inclinations, it
is an even bet whether he will grow up to
be an ornament to society, or whether he
will become an inmate Of the penitentiary,
or end his days on the gallows. It is q
truth sometimes patent to everybody, but
the one most interested, the father, as the
Herald says, that while he is engrossed in
some pursuit or other, money-getting gen.
orally, and gives no heed to his children,
they are going to the bad as rapidly as
though. perhaps, his energies were all di-
rected to help them downward. While he
thinks he is laying the foundation for their
future happiness, he is only building up
their ruin by neglecting them and allow
ing them to give way unchecked to the
vicious impulses which are natural to
them. II this is sermon that is accepta-
BILE, selah; il not, blame the dull times
which have driven quid nuno to think
what a miserable sinner he might have
been.

Terrible Fight with n wildcat I'm

Levi Labar Of Purdytown. Pa, had a
terrible fight with a wildcat in his bed
room the other night. The animal en-
tered through a large window pane which
had been broken and wal covered with a

midnight, after Labar had gone to bed,
he heard q strange noise in the room, and
on jumping up to make IN investigation q
tes rife yell was given by the wildcat.
Labar seized a piece Of wood, and, without
stopping to make a light, attacked the ami
NAL, which at once sprung upon his
shoulders. Labar shook it off and gave it
q stunning blow with his club. Fol Is
minutes the conflict ragged iercely, the
brute leaping from wall to wall. clinging
to the paper with its sharp claws and then
bounding upon its opponent, s%creeching
with fury, and with eyes shining like Goals
of fire. At last Labar dealt the cat q
deathblow just as it was about to leap on
his head from the top of An open door.
The animal was one Of the largest ever
seen in that section Of country. Labar
was severely lscerated about the face and
arms.

THE CHAMPION WHITTIER.
s...snourg Cathedral I'm Miniature
Made with % Jack-Knife.

In our simplicity and ignorance OF the
.ometimes marvellous accomplishments Of
man in the great centers Of civilization, we
had never imagined that some things we
.oo recorded could possibly have been
aona. For instance, without looking be-
,ood into the activity and genius OF the
a,aa, world Of which ours, we have to con-
sss. II. il but a very small and shabby por-
,ou, We had set up our ideal of the whit
ala, At home in this barren gulch. We
hsd never looked upon whiting as n OF
,ha sne arts, but could see that strange
s,d curious creations may come from the
hand that deity yields the companionable
;sck. knife. We had not burnt any mid
NIGHT oil in study over the possibilities OF
a isck.knife in q Yankees hands; but we
had thought that a man may have a natural
talent for it, which may be indefinitely
cultivated. What speculation we did in
dulge in on this topic resulted in u set
ting up Black Wallace as an ideal whittier.
While crystallizing "a situation" in poll
tics. we have seen him materialize
his thoughts most appropriately. A
piece Of a dry goods box which
nobody could see through would, under
the manipulations of a jack-knife in his
fingers, be rapidly and gracefully converted
into a half dozen ''rings," each pendant on
another and all growing from the womb
Of the mother "ring." But we fear that
our idol is broken. A Missourian steps in
TO show that whiting is an art and he
s~tartles the world. His name is "Bill the
Whittier" and this is what he says about
himself:
II am building a work which contains
over 232, 900 pieces. all whitfield with the
