Shall We Meet Again?

The following from the pen of the
lamented George ID. Prentice is well
worth reproduction. lit was regarded
as meritorious when it first appeared,
and age seems to have but added to its
beauty: 1.-The fiat death is inexorable.
No appeal for relief from the great
law which dooms us to dust. We flour
ish and fade as the leaves of the forest,
and the flowers that bloom, wither,
and fade in day have no Trailer hold
upon life than the mightiest monarch
that ever shook the earth with his foot
stepS. Generations of men will appear
and disappear as the grass, and the
multitude that, throng the world to-
day will disappear as footsteps on the
shore. Men seldom think of the great
event of death until the shadow falls
across their own pathway, hiding from
their eyes the faces of loved ones
whose living smile was the sunlight of
their existence. Death is the antago-
mist of life, and the thought of The
tomb is the skeleton of all feasls. We
do not want TO 90 through the dark
valley, although its dark passage NAV
lead TO paradise; we do not want to
60 down into damp graves. even with
princes for bed-fellows. In the beau

Austrian and Bavarian Beer.

The competition of Bavarian brew
ers with those of Austria of late has
been so sharp that the latter have de-
termined to open Beer Exhibition in
Vienna next spring, in order'that their
products may be fully tested by COM
parison. Pilsener beer is famous the
world over, and there are several
other places in Austra-Hungary where
beer of equally as fine quality is
manufactured. But even in Vienna,
if good native beer is wanted the con-
sumner must know where to loak for it.
Beer of inferior quality produces
very common malady, known in
Vienna as catarrh of the stomach. The
Bavarian beer now so largely consum-
ed is much lighter than that drunk in
Munich, and is pronounced by con-
noisseurs a fair rival of the renowned
Vienna beer.

The Mission of the Deaf-Mute.

The Mission of the Deaf-Mute.
Professor Graham Bell apprehends
that the deaf-mutes will before long
establish spcechlcss race In the
United States, by constant intermar-
riape. unless something can be done
to check the present strong tendency
to alliance with people similarly az
fected. There can be no doubt that
Professor Graham Bell is doing his
duty as a good citizen in thus direct
ing public attention to state of things
which menances the country with the
speedy loss of nascent boon OF the
most pronounced and melliliuous
character. The deaf-mutes, or many
of them, want to found n deafmute
community Land of Silence, where
no noise of piano or sewing machines
or elevated railway or surface cars or
mother-in-law or duns would be heard
at all forever.
But while this scheme would doubt
less be very pleasant for the deaf
mutes, the American people have
some right to be considered, and their
interests and comforts are concerned
here. The gradual dissemination Of
the deaf-mutes through society which
has been proceeding latterly has
demonstrated the Importance and the
benefcence of their mission. They
constitute indeed that "poultice to
heal the wounds Of sound" which the
poet foresaw. In an age when noise
increases continually ; when nervous
diseases grow ever more complicated
and numerous when family jars are
less endurablc and quivering ganglious
need surcease of discord more than
formerly when the jingle of the piano
is heard in every apartment, and me-
chanical ingenuity is perverted TO the
invention of orchestrious and many
other diabolical machines ; it is beau
tiful, providential, too utterly oppo-
site, in short, that the stock of deaf
mutes should be silently expanding to
supply the urgent need Of a distracted
world.
There is hope that through this in
crease time may not be far distant
when deaf-mute may be within the
reach of the humblest family. Then
will there be required no Cooperative
Commonwealth to remodel society.
Reform will come spontaneously. For
when all the nervous and irritable
men are provided with deaf-mute
wives, and all the nagging women are
provided with deaf-mute husbands.
and the people who live in flats and
don't like children are soothed with
the contiguity of deaf-mute infants,
and the deaf-mute has otherwise been
utilized wherever he or she can act as
a buffer to intercept the shocks CT the
noises of civilization-it is clear that
two thirds of the friction of life will
have been obviated, and that while all
danger of a deaf-mute race will have
passed away, the uses and benefits of
deaf-mutism will have Injured to the
community in the most distinctly
precious and beautifully practical and
eminently elevating and delightful
ways. But to permit the deaf-mutes
to waste their excellent peculiarities
upon one another with no other ont.
come than the extension of race in
capable of approaching its own adj.
vantages, is not to be thought of, and
if necessary an injunction must be
sued out TO prevent such calamity

A Little Cloud i'll the Congo.

Commercial enterprises under mil
itarv protection in savage countries
may succeed when they have only the
natives to deal with, but history is full
of cases in which the rivalries of civil.
lied nations under such circumstances
have been productive of serious conse-
quenccs. This seems to be the chief
danger in the Congo at present, and
it is doubtful whether the most elabo-
rate agreements made by the Berlin
Conference will altogether remove the
risk Of international collisions in the
interior of Africa. The story told by
the Independence Beige of the quarrel
between Agents of the African Inter-
national Association and French agents
in the Congo territory Is significant.
1t is stated that an armed force of the
first named corporation assembled the
river Nipila to fight some natives who
had gathered to attack the Dutch and
German factories at Loango. The
commander of the French flotilla stop
ped the expedition, arrested the Dutch
agent for violating French territorial
rights, and demanded the surrender
of the international force. This was re-
fused, and "a conflict is impending"
In all such cases much more must &C.
pend upon the judgment and discre-
tion Of the local officers than upon in
ternational conferences and agree
ments. And the possibility must al
WAYS exist that such oihcels may have
received from their respective govern
ments instructions not in accordance
with the diplomatic amitv publicly
displayed. This was the case in India
and in Canada, where war was often
carried on between the French and
English while the two countries were
ostensibly at peace.
1he international African Associa
tion has more to fear from the jeal
ousy and lust of aggrandi>ement of the
various governments interested than
from the natives. The agents, when
once separated by the wilderness from
responsibility, may think themselves
free to play the free adventurer. as the
European soldier traders did in Hin
dostan, and local collisions NAV easily
foment a spirit of hostility capable of
bringing on actual warfare. If. for
instance. the interference of the French
commander in the case under discus
sion should cause the destruction of
the Dutch and German factories at
Loango, the episode will furnish ma
terial for serious difficulties between
the respective governments, and may
seem to their agents in Africa to jrsti-
fy prompt reprisals. In this way ma
tions have often been dragged into
great wars, but even if that mischief
be avoided, it is quite possible that
the international scheme of African
commercial development may be
checked, il not frustrated, by the bick-
erings and conflicts Of hot-headed and
ambitious agents who are too far off
to be easily controlled. and who no
doubt fully realize their own capacity
for mischief =NeN York Tribnne.

Chicago Inter Ocean: The equality Of
justice IN North Carolina may be theoret-
ically popular, but practically II Is mega

a coat the other day. He was sentenced

that rival tribes be supplied with hostile
editors. the white people of the country
would have an assurance of permanent

loaded editorials the Indian death-rate
would be materially lessened.

Pulled.
Washington Cor. Cleveland Lea ier.
When was at Alexandria last week
hea d an Cd mans statement of how
Pl resident Jackson's nose was pulled by
Lieutenant Randolph in the summer of
/, 33. Sa d he: president Jackson was
passing Alexandria on his way to cele-
brate the building of a monument to
Washington's mother at Fredericksbur =.
The steamer stopped at Alexandria to get
the mail Jackson was sitting in the
cabin back of table smoking a pipe
and there was hardly room to pass him.
His pipe was long g-stemmed.one, and it
hung almost to his knee. a few men,
including Major Donelson, Jackson's
adopted son, were standing about, and
there were others who had come on
board TO see the President, and to look
at the boat. Among these was Lieu
tenant Randolph a connection of the noted
Randolph family TO which John Randolph
belonged. He had been dismissed from
the Navy by Jackson for some trouble
in his accounts. He was straight
young man, and not bad looking. He
came on the boat ami pushed his way
through the crowd until he reached
the cabin. This he entered and
went up TO jackson as though he would
speak to him. President Jackson did not
know him, but held out his hand, asking
him TO excuse him from rising. AS he did
so, Randolph, with quick gesture, seized
Jackson's nose and gave it three strong
pulls. 1t was done so quickly that no one
had n chance to interfere. Old Hickory
threw his pipe up into the air as if to
strike Randslph with it, but before he
could do anything Randolph had started
Oft, and be was helped by the bystanders
on the wharf. He quickly mounted a
horse and rode of into the country. Jack
sons excitement was intense. His nose
was as red as fire, and l am sure that il
did not regain it's color for days. He said,
angrily: III had had an id "a that was
going 70 be assaulted | should have heen
prepared. Randolph is the first villain
who ev r escaped me- Hereupon q by
stauder said: II you will pardon me for
tn crime. will kill Randolph within tbs

of assault with intent to kill was filed
against Randolph in the courts at Alexan-

QUITE an exciting scene occurred IN
the Lower House of the Connecticut
Legisl .ture last week over the question
OF raj road passes. A Mr.. Piggott offered
q resolution instructing the Railroad
Commissioner 10 ascertain and report to
the Legislature how many free passes
had been issued by railroad companies L.
members OF the House, and To what men,
bers. Pending vote on an amendment
OF humorous chara cter made by another
member, to the effect that the roll be
called AMI each member be required to
stand up and state whether or not he
then had railroad pass in his pocket,
Pigott explained that this resolution was
made IN dead earnest, rs he understood
that the committees OF the House were
made up by corporation influence. The
charge was too personal TO suit the Speak
er, and be callel Pigott to order, and a
motion was then made and unanimously
passed that Plggott be deb ,rred from
speaking or voting IN the House until he
had made proper apology. The affair
created intense excitement. The railroad
pass question is a tender subject with the
average State legislator, and there are
probably some outside the limits of the
nutmeg State who do not banker after an
investigation Of the subject.

ThE SUPREME COURT.


A bill has been introduced in the Legis-
lature to increase the membership OF the
Supreme Court TO five. 1t should become
q law without ANY delay, so that the ad-
ditional justice may be elected in the
coming spring election. The Supreme
Court should not consist Of an even num-
Der OF judges. When it does, equal divi-
sions are likely and frequently do occur.
The greatest disadvantage that can result
from such Il division has recently been
felt IN the result of the action of the SUI
preme Court In the case involving tie
validity OF the new tax law. The matter
could not possibly b9 in Il worse shape
than the equal division OF the Court on
the question has left It, The effect Of an
an equal division Is that the decision of
the Court below stands affirmed. In
many eases whore the effect OF the deci-
s.ol does not reach beyond the pa II 'ular
case II would not be OF consequence TO
any one but tie parties Immediately con-
corned. The tax law. however is OF vital
Importance &, the people Of the State,
aud decisive action should be taken
which would settle It's consiitutionality
one way or the other I'm addition to what
has been suggested above there are other
reasons which make the change desirable.
The political situation IN the State does
not deter Us from advocating the passage
OF this bin. We believe that the Repub-
hcan ticket VII be elected at the spring
election. The only possible question is
whether the Prohibitionists can draw
Republican votes enough IN support Of

There are some named for the nomina-
