History Writing.

In every great undertaking there are many points of interest which never come to the knoWl- edge of the public. Take for eX> ample. the ries of histories by Mr. Hubert I. Bancroft, now in course of publication. To handle the immense mass of authorities oN wh '.h his narrative rests, re- luircS uo small amount of skill md executive ability. In his first work, the V tive Races of the Fac.f. 5, tes, he printed at the n.girui'g of the frs volume a list Of 200 authorities. This he thought was 2 great many: and it vas We venture to say that never before in the annals of au~ tnoronip was the writings of 1, 200 authors thoroughly studied and mastered, in the writing of five volumes, all the information they gave being condensed into this small compass.
 In writing the History of Cen> tral America, consisting of three volumes, some 10000 authorities were used; but when it came to the History Of Mexico, in six vol umeS, with the two volumes Of the History of the North Mexican States, there was such an ava~ lanche of testimony: that 1t was absolutely impracticable to print even the list, not less than 20,OO0 authors had been consulted and their volumes used in writing this magnificent work. A cOm- plete list of authorities, such as was Mir. Bancroft's custom to print at the beginning of each history, would. in this instance, have occupied 250 pages. and lie was obliged. besides referring the reader to the Central American authorities, most Of which related also in greater or less degree to Mexico, to omit all but the more important, and even then the list ran mp to about ROO pages. 1t IS something never before beard ot the handling, extracting, and weighing such a mass of evidence by one writer. Of course MT. Bancroft has assistants, and many of them; still the work is entIre~ Iy his own, and he alone Is re- sponsible for it,

IN A GARDEN.
BY LOUISE CHANDLER MoULro.

LOOlSE OhANOA-hh 1nOOA4O~t Pale in the pallid moonlight,
 White as the rose on her breast She stood in the fair garden, With her shy, young love contest The roses climbed to kiss her,
 The violets purple and sweet Breathed their despair in the fragrance That bathed her beautiful feet She stood there, stately and slender, Gold hair on her shoulders shed, Clothed all in white, like the visions When the living behold the dead. There with her lover beside her,
 With fife and with love she thrilled, What mattered the worlds wide sorrow To her with her joy fulfilled? Next year in the fair rose-garden He waited alone and dumb, If perchance from the silent country The soul of the dead would come, To comfort the living and loving,
 With tie ghost of lost delight, And thrill into quivering welcome The desolate, breeding night. Til softly wind in the distance
 Began to blow and blow; The moon bent nearer and nearer, And solemn, and sweet, and slow, Came wonderful rapture of music That turned to her voice at last; Then a cold soft touch on his forehead Like the breath of the wind that passed. Like the breath of the wind she touched him, Thin was her voice and cold, And something that seemed like shadow Slipped through bis feverish hold. But the voice had said, "I love you With my first love and my last" Then again that wonderful music And he knew that her soul had passed.

Three Votes Decide a Question.

Hot Springs, Ark, has become a
no. license town for two years in Gus
rious way. There is statute that at
each state election, the question of lis
cense shall be submitted to the ballot.
II majority of the voters be not for
licenses, then it is unlawful for the
county court to grant them. At the
last election the question was over
looked inadvertently. 1t was taken
for granted that by common consent
license would be voted. The returns
showed three ballots in the county
against license, and none for. Thus
the anomaly of three votes closing all
the saloons in the county for two
years and thwarting the will of thou,
sands is presented. There were thir>
ty saloons in Hot Springs, which paid
a revenue of $4,000 to the county
and city. The matter was taken be-
fore the courts, but the oon.keeper;
were defeated and they must suspend
business for the next two years.

A license bill has been introduced
into the Minnesota Legislature, provid'

such male adult residents of the state
as can prove to village trustees, town
supervisors or city aldermen that they
are only moderate drinkers, and that
their families will not suffer through
their indulgence. Every resident
who drinks in a saloon or public place
must have such permit, and infrac,
ton of the law will be punished by
fine. A special committee has recom>
mended the passage or the bill, which
is regarded by its author as practi,

Americans, and Southerners par
ticularly, sympathize with down-trod-
den Ireland, but we don't believe that
any good citizen will for a moment
approve of the dynamite warfare in>
augurated on innocent people in Lon'
don. Ireland's cause will suffer a
back set if her friends do not exert
themselves to bring these miscreants
to justice. And the laboring man of
the northern states of this country Is
in similar position. He cannot gel
increased wages nor wages at all, if
he destroys the mills and shops he de
ponds on for work. If he cannot get me
chanical work, let him preempt farm
out west, and he can at least gain
living.

Pittsburgh had dynamite sensa-

communists and other vagabonds
there wish to attack the mills, foun>
dries and other property of capitalists
and destroy them, and then force a
division of property. 1t seems to us
that laboring men (if any such belong
to these organizations are striving to
kill the goose which lays the golden
egg by destroying their only means of
making living. They should be
shipped back to Europe, for it seems
that nearly all of them are foreigners.

The Nashville Banner doesn't seem
to he at all scared at its libel suit,
but continues to score the penitentia>
ry "ring" and the lease system gen,
orally. That paper has unearthed
some terrible things connected with
the man agsment of convicts at the
mines, which, if true, ought to add
several more convicts to the number.
We hope the legislative committee
will probe the matter to the bottom.
The excitement over the state is in
tense and nothing less than thor
ough investigation will be satisfacto-
ry. The officers of the prison demand
it and justice to them cannot do less
than grant it.
