A Man of Titles.

/ heard funny story the other day
about young nobleman, member Of
the Diplomatic Corps at Washington.
1t seems that the young man had a
military title of considerable length.
he got all his titles engraved on his
visiting cards. the bits of pasteboard
were well covered and looked most inn
posing. The cards greatly impressed
all the Washington girls, and the young
foreigner became a great favorite. One
of his friends, however. in joking
mood one day, told him that he must
add the word "bachelor" to his card,
as that was the custom here. So the
poor fellow had bachelor" engraved
with the rest of his titles. 1merica,:
Queen.

A book Of more than ordinary interest
is announced for publication early in May
by Messrs. Cassell Il Company. 1t is the
Life and "reminiscences Of Gustave Dore,"
compiled from material supplied by his
family and friends and from personal rec
objection, by Nine. Blanche Roosevelt
| The story OF the distinguished artists life
covers over 500 octave pages, with several
hundred illustrations, many Of them never
before published The author of this in
terestlng volume has the advantage over
many bographers of having known the
subject OF her book and of having been in
the confidence of his family and friends
The mater al she draws upon is all fresh
and has come from the most authoritative
sources. Where possible she has confined
herself to the language Of those who have
had anecdotes to tell OF the famous painter
and this gives delightful raciness to the
story Of his life
Maurice Thompson, the well-known poet

The iron OF the Federal Government has
entered into the very inmost soul of the
polygamous Mormons, and their organ,
the Salt Lake Herald howls in this way
over the recent Supreme Court decision in
the case Of Rudger Clawson
The opinion is broad and terrible in the
scope that it gives 10 the local courts. II re-
Heyes these tribunals from any checks that
have hitherto held tem back, and not ouly
gives them full power to proceed recklessly
and without fear of being brought to account
TOR overstepping the bounds and limits O. law
aud deeency, but encourages and spurs them
on. With this to sustain them and to give
them strength and confidence, the Utah
courts and their officers, unless they shall
change materially iu heart, will bring much
trouble and suffering. The Supre me Court
opinion enables them to do this, and their
past conduct warrants the belief that they
will not be slow to take advantage OF all their
power.
Then the Herald proceeds to deplore,
more than its own misfortunes "the sad
state OF country whose highest judicial
tribunal has been 'doctored' so that it is
no ireer from partisanship, no farther re.
moved from popular influences and preiu-
dices, than any other tribunal whose
judge is dependent upon his political lean
ing and partisan efforts for the retention
Of the Office. Expediency has quite as
much weight with the Supreme Court
Justices as law, and public sentiment is
fully ss powerful in directing their minds
in arriving at conclusions and formulating
opinions rs the statutes" Aud all this
simply because the Supreme Court decides
that the laws Of the land must be obeyedl

Mr.. Edward Atkinson, the economist,
recently made the following alusion to
the business situation:
The conditions are now ripe for nm era o.
prosperity. We have an excess o. land wait
ing TO be occupied. We have an excess O
capital at from to 4 per cent. waiting fol
safs borrowers. We have an excess of labor
waiting to be employed. A confidence 10 the
stability OF the standard of value is the one
thing lacking. II the administration could
take advantage OF the present. doubt in re-
gard TO the meaning OF the Bland act, and
suspend coinage OF be silver dollar, we might,
as at the time of the resumption OF specie
payments in 1879, see such renewal OF con-
hdence aud awakening in constructive enter
prise that Congress, when it re assemblies,
would not dare ~ legisla,e for the continu-
ance OF that dshon st com.
We would be glad to have the President
act on Mr.. Atkinson's suggestion, but we
doubt whether this hint will "ietch him."

Charles K. Adams, Late Of the
University Of Michigan.

The appointment of successor TO
President White, at Cornell Univer-
sity, Ithaca, N. Y, has created great
interest everywhere throughout the
country. Since 1868, when the Uni
versity was opened on plan giving
an exceptionally wide range ofchoice
of studies, and Offering liberal induce
ments for patronage, its successful
operation under President White has
been regarded with universal gratif-
cation. The hundreds of young peo-
pie who have spent their best years
of study in the lovely city of Ithaca,
n. Y, and whose cultured activities
are now scattered over the world, have
Il lively concern in all that appertains
TO their dtmd mater. To these cspec-
tally, therefore, must II be welcome to
learn that President Whites successor
Is virtually of his own choosing, and
that President Adams was elected TO
the dignity by the vote of large ma
jority Of the trustees. lie begins his
administration hopefully, under con-
ditions which seem to be entirely fa-
vorablc to his own happiness and the
prosperity Of Cornell University. Ills
learning and ability have been dem
onstrated by his increasing efficiency
during the whole time he has been
employed as resident professor in
the University of Michigan, Ann Ar
Dor.
The new President of Cornell is u
communicate of the Protestant Epis-
copal Church, and is conservative in
his tastes and opinions. lie is regard
ed as gentleman of excellent judg-
ment aud discretion. Under him, IL
seems most probable that Cornell will
continue most vigorously 10 flourish.

AT the close of the war, Gen Rob-
crt L. Lee was offered the presidency
of one of the great insurance compa-
MES OF the country, at a salary of $20,- :
900 per annum for life. Ofcourse, he
realized 1t was his good name the
company wanted, and the influence il
would exert over the Southern people,
but he promptly declined the position,
though a poor man and needing the
salary, declaring that his good name
and reputation belonged to the South
ern people.
In sad contrast we see Generals
Beauregard and Early, for the sum
of $4,000 each per annum, pcddling
their names, not to an insurance COM

their associations-"tool pigeons" for

might have struck deep into your
dear, sweet boys system, and finished
its deadly work.

have him grow up to be great among
men, check the first seemingly in
nocent jokelet that would trickle
from his lips. Check il gently if you
can, but do not spare piece of clap
board if you must. Let me whisper
to you a legend:
Once upon time there was a
beautiful little boy, the pride and joy
and hope of fond and indulgent
parents, with a vein of unworked
humor in his system. A few jokelets
had fallen from his lips, but as yet
those to whom he was dearest had
not been seriously alarmed. They
had not noticed that humor had be-
gun its subtle work upon tender
and yielding mind II they had they
would have gone out and got a
shingle and exerted warm influence
in another direction. One day a
medieval maiden aunt of that little
boy came to dine at his home. She
