Stolid Lord Harrington Moved.


There was, writes a member Of Par

incident in the House Of Commons last
night. The Marquis Of Harrington, in
reading out the telegram announcing
the death Of General Stewart, paused
awkwardly several times, and in the
end his voice became So husky that he
could not be heard. The Marquis OF

this is the first instance on which bis

eu to the heavy villain In the melodra-
ma now running at the Baldwin re-
minds old residents of the first theatre
cal performance ever given in Virginia
City. Most of the miners had not seen
q play for a score of years, and when
the Johnstone troupe opened in ''Othel-
10" the house presented packed mass
of red shirts. The then little famous
Edwin Booth was the Iago, and so
faithfully did he portray the traitorous
friend that the audience lost control of
itself, and in the second act began
shooting at the fell conspirator. One
shot struck Othello's swordhilt, and all
hands had to lie down on the stage and
roll into the wings. The indignant
miners were finally quieted and the
play proceeded. but the final denoue-
ment was so taken to heart by the spec
tators that Booth remained in the thea
tire all night for fear of the vigilantes,
who talked seriously of lynching the
"cold-blooded cuss" off Vryin-
ia City (Ner.) Enterprise.

The Senate concurred in the House
amendment to the Oren School Book bill,

The Legislative Committee appointed to
investigate the difficulty between Allen O.
Myers and Judge Littler on the floor of the
House some days ago. had Mr.. Myers before
them yesterday TO answer to the charges
preferred. that he applied some opprobrious
epithets to the Legislature in general and
to Mr.. Iittler in particular With regard to
the alleged corruption in the Senatorial con-
test, Mr.. Myers admitted that he had none,
so far as other gentlemen were concerned,
as for himself he had been approached by
personal 1flenQ OF MI. fendletOn III lno
Grand Hotel at Cincinnati, and was offered
a consideration if he would vote for Mr..
Pendleton.
Upon being questioned further he said
the man who approached him was Benjamin
Robinson. a member of the Cuvier Club of
Cincinnati, who was a candidate for Customs
Surveyor against Senator Caldwell. Mr..
Myers said Robinson first offered him $500
and afterward raised it to $1,000. Mr..
Myers made affidavit to this at the time.
The committee thereupon dispatched an off
Ger to Cincinnati to arrest Mr.. Robinson and
bring him to Columbus for an investigation.

If the American people are still some
what crude and provincial, it is not
because they are lacking in sensitive
ness to impressions, but rather because
of the circumstances of their surround
ings in country which is still COM
paratively new. Your true American
really possesses a lively Imagination.
He is restless, sanguine and dissatis-
fled with results. 1t would be great
mistake to regard him as above all
things practical. The early struggles
of the pioneers and the rapidly pro-
crossing development of the country
have by the force of heredity and en-
vironment turned his attention to ma
terial enterprises. At heart he is an
idealist. A very few generations hence
and We shall see his artistic longings
struggling for higher expression. In
deed. they already are.
Long ago he manifested this temper
ament in that which came nearest to
him by shaping in fitting and graceful
forms the implements of his daily toll.
American tools have been for years the
models for the world. rot only in their
adaptability for use, but also for their
artistic forms. For several years we
have been giving unprecedented at
tention to the problem of beautifying
our homes and of adorning our cities
with the most pleasing forms of archi-
lecture. This impulse will 60 on,
growing broader in its application and
more earnest and concentrated in its
purpose.
The true American. according to his
lights, really cultivates a spirit of re-
finement. He is not surrounded and
impelled by the traditions which have
built up and guarded social systems in
the old world. He has very little of
that sort of refinement of manner which
becomes ingrained into man by me-
chanical force of long training. But
the innate refinement is there. The
men of no other nation show such real
ly chivalrous and polite attention to
women. A woman in this country may
travel 10000 miles and meet with moth
ing but the most considerate and unob-
trusive courtesy from all classes and
conditions of men; while under the
same circumstances in Europe she
would be insulted or annoyed hum
dred times by those who are called gen.
tlemen. Scarcely less is the agreeable
courtesy which exists between man
and man among Americans when they
meet as strangers.
The seeming roughness and inartis-
tic quality of Americans is only appar-
ent and superficial. We and our faith
ers for generations before us have been
fighting a tough battle with Nature.
We are still great deal absorbed and
somewhat confused in the struggle.
We have hardly taken breath and re-
laxed our efforts for good look around
us to see what life holds in the way of
her enjoyments. But the time is COM
ing when the din of battle will slacken.
Then it will be found that the Ameri-
can people have the native tempera-
ment that will be fruitful soil for the
growth of humanities. Then we may
expect in art and in literature all which
makes life beautiful and desirable
America will lead, as she now leads in
the field of material progress.-Albany

Why were the Jews forbidden to eat
swinep Was it because of the un-
cleanliness of the animal, or to avoid
disease? The prevalence of trichinosis
in our day, which has led Prince Bis
marck to forbid the importation of
American pork into Germany, suggests
an explanation. And yet the Cretans
would not eat pigs. not because they
thought them unclean, but because Ju-
piter was supposed to have been
sucked by sow. The ancient Egyp-
tians, the Phenicians, the Syrians, and
the Arabians refrained from eating
pigs neither on sanitary nor on religi-
Gus grounds, but simply because pigs
were found more useful as animated
plows in turning up the soil with their
snouts. 1t is said that Pythagoras,
who forbade the use of flesh meat in
general, would not have refused dish
of roast pork, SO little likely were pigs
considered to harbor the souls of the
departed, and yet he could not possibly
have eaten beans with his bacon, be-
cause he conceived beans to have had
the same origin as man. Herein, be it
noted, the old Greek seems to have had
an inkling of the theory which we are
accustomed to associate with Darwin.
only Pythagoras found the missing link
between plants and animals-let us say,
between beans and bacon-in the soul,
while the evolutionists of our time are
still on the hunt for it. Pythagoras, it
may be remembered, also disallowed
the use of fish for food for certain phil
osophical reasons. the Year Round.

Iurpentlne has been found of much
assistance in the drilling or filing of
hard iron castings. In describing the
experiment the Scientific american
says: 1.-The speed of the drill was
somewhat reduced from that of a drill
in soft gray iron, but the obdurate ma
terial yielded to the persuasive influ-
ence Of the turpentine. The file was
kept wet with it, and there was no diff
ticulty in cutting the hard metal. 1t is
ascertained, however. that the supply
of turpentine must be continuous
common mucilage brush is handy for
the purpose-and that the turpentine,
evaporated and oxidized by exposure
until it is somewhat viscid, is better
than the limpid spirit, as having more
body."
