THE MARQUIS OF sALrsBURy's CAREER.
First, his personal appearance. He is a very
remarkable looking man. Oyer six feet he is of
stalwart build. He stoops slightly, wears full
beard and side whiskers. His head is bald, his
beard brown, grizzled with gray. and the express
sion of his face is thoughtful and somewhat shy.
Some people mistake this for hauteur, and they
may well do So He was always silent, thought
full, studors man; but he has the style and man
ner of "a born aristocrat" You can feel in re-
gard to him that if he had lived in the times of
those ancestors Of his who wore mail he would
have carried the harness of knight with grace
and strength. He looks like marquis. You could
never mistake him for common clay. He is the
porcelain of humanity. Whether he is any the
better for this am not able to say but there 1t is.
l have seen men at Washington of the same
stamp: men who look as If they were born to
rule and to govern. There is something that re-
minds one of Bismarck in his manner. Possibly
with Bismarcks power he might be as bold; but
he has lived much in what is called 1.-The cold
shade of opposition" and has taken up more or
less the color of political defeat and misfortune.
But his training eminently fits him for the work
OF statecraft. and he knows a great deal more
about the world beyond the seas than most OF
the men who are in power. Let us glance briefly
at d lew ngureS ana QateS, ana tnen see Wndt his
lordship is at home. The eldest surviving son
of the second Marquis Of Salisbury, he was
born in $780, educated at Oxford; in 1853 sat as
member of Parliament for the borough of
Stamford; in 1868 his father died and he
came into the marquisate; in 1857 he
married a niece of the celebrated
Mrs Opie tthe author of some notable
books; in 1866 he was appointed Secretary for
India; in 1869 hesucceeded Lord Derby as Chan
cellor of the University of Oxford; he was in
1874 again Secretary of State for India he was
leader of the conference that followed the war
between Turkey and Serviain 1877; he was Sec.
rotary of State in 1873 ION the resignation of
Lord Derby, who did not want the feet to 60
forth and protect Constantinople against the
Russians), and wrote the celebrated dispatch
enunciating the English views of the then East
ern question; in July, 1878, he brought home, in
company with Lord Beaconsfeld, that peace
with honor" so often quoted since, and he is now
Premier the head of Ministerial party that can
only at present live on sufferance In his early
days he ''roughed it." earned money as a journal

plenty of those big manly self reliant qualities,
which would be fold more appreciated if he
were not nobleman. JOSEPH HATTON.

Has clad yon arbor in love!
Hath night dropped her gorgeous mantle
To brood Ger the land like dove9
Hath peace kissed the earth to beauty,
And 10! in responsive joy,
A sweet reveille to duty
Bursts forth from each dainty toy.
Each hamlet unconsciously wearing
In colors so loyal and true,

Our National Red White and Blue.
Dear land where Liberty dwelleth,
And man is born to be brave.
Whose vine-covered cottages telleth

SAM JONES, REYLYALIST,
He Tells Ofthe Thousands of Converts
Has Made in Religion.

Rev. Sam Jones, the noted revival
list, is ia ST. Louis. The evangelist is
a dark complexioned man 40 years OF
age. His dark hair is brushed straight
back from very striking forehead,
and through the close mass are seen
sprinkled a few grey nairs. A dark
somewhat stiff mustache does not add
much to the expression of his restless
mouth that moves beneath. He has
a great amount OF nervous emery and
force, which makes itself apparent in
the constant movement of his hands
and the play Of his dark eye. In CON
yersation he is slow and has the reg
ular Yankee deliberation of utterance.
In this respect he is radically different
from the boy preacher, Harrison,
whose tongue was on one continuous
rattle till he had finished his sentence,
whether ne is in the pulpit or in pri-
vate.

him to be quick of repartee, and By
the quiet talk, one can see why he
makes his audiences bubble over with
mirth. His set jaw however, shows
that he can talk business when it is
necessary.

THE SCRAP BOOK CURE.
How Boys who Read Dime Novels
Can be Cured of Their Bad Taste.
Boston Herald


A trustee of the Providence Public
Library has undertaken to cure the
small boy of his interest in the dime
novel, and can be said to have sue
ceeded. he has met the antecedent
with its consequent. He has gather
ed into scrap book the adventures of
the boys who read dime novels. aad
has made it his business in a Quiet
way to ask the boys one by one who
are interested in these stories to spend
an hour or two in reading, not the
imaginative story but tae way in
which the small boy has attempted
to realize how small boys ought to
live and what they ought To do to be
allowed TO do. It is said that the
dime novel boy usually reads the
scrap>book, which is rapidly increas>
ing ia size as the fresh exploits Of the
dime novel adventures are added to
IT, about two hours. He then lays it
down in disgust, and nothing can in,
dHce him to return to these stories
again. He asks the person in charge
of the reading room for a better class
of books.
This cure of disease with its own
poison has been so effective in Provi-
dence that the trustee in question is
thinking Of taking out a patent for
the process lest other lit raries and the
heads Of families and the guardians
of the small boy generally may APP
propriatS his invention without due
credit. The scrap book alluded to
is called The Dime Novel Illustrat-
ed, and IL is suggested to this gentle.
man before he goes much further
that ne should put his scrap book to
press, secure his copyright at home
and abroad, and stand up for honors
as the only man in the world who
has 50 far succeeded in outwitting tie
average American boy by giving hlm
a sufficient antidote to the evil which,
in the form of deyilish literature, he
is anxious TO take into his mind aad
heart, to make him abandon these
stories in disgust.
He is the first among moderns to
give point to the old saying, Look
on this picture and then on that"
and 1t is the other picture that is pow
erful enough 10 wind up the dune
novel business. These are the DAYS
of realism in literature, and this man
going further than Mr.. Howells or
even M, lola, has substituted the
paste-pot and scissors for the insignia
ton, gathers his horrors and TRACE
dies from actual life, in the firm be-
lief that if truth is not stranger than
hction, it has wonderful power at
the right moment over an awakened
mind.

A LESSON In TENNIS.

They played at tennis that summer day
Where was it, Oh. call 1t Mount Desert
The place matters not; viii simply say
They ware playing tennis that summer day,
And she wore a short and striped skirt
He played but ill--t@as his first essay
And She his partner and coach was both;
Though perhaps not up in the points OF play
Yet size knew the game in a general way,
And 10 give him points seemed nothing ioth.
He did his best, bat his best was poor;
The balls served TO him on his side statd;
And thus it went on for ronnd or more,
Till anxious be vsutured 20 asl, the score
The scorer why il is 1hirty---Loye,' she
said
And lover What Is lover he fam would know
Yet bushed 70 ask It, for he could see
What pardunable ignorance lie must show;
But she calmly answered him, speaking slow,
why, Love is nothing you know, said She.
The sun Of that summer day is set;
That season is gone, as Seasons go;
But his heat was caught In that tesnis net,
Ard they might have been playing partners yet
Had she not given her answer mo-"
He plays no tennis az an this year,
But he mopes and means, and sighs- heighOl
That fate is SO hard, and life IS so drear;
And, worse thnn an else, he remembers clear
That Love is nothing She told him so.

NATURAL PHILOSOPHY.

When things runs smoothly, and my mental SIX

sighs
That is, when all is lovely and serene, thenI
Philosophize.
But when the little ills Of life appear,
To poster worry, and pile care on care,
When mere existence is sand papered as u were
Why, then | swear.
When on the right side is my bank account,
And great good luck my efforts seems to crown
Then upward toward the sky my spirits mount
i own the town.
But when misfortunes seem to let
Up on me, and each move appears a blnnder,
And life seems one "demnition grind, get
As mad as thunder
IT'S so with most; we all can smile at strife,
At cares and trials from which we are Tree,
And calmly reason DER the ills Of life
We never see.
But when the clouds obscure our daily skies,
And evil from Pandoras box tiy thick,
Instead Of stopping TO philosophze,
We mostly kick.

A Professor of Hard Work.
Albany Journal,

The successful journalist of to day
is the man who can supply any de-
partment OF his paper were he called
upon to do it. This may CRATE upon
the ears OF the young man who has
cherished such noble ideas of his chos-
en- profession; but when he comes
down from the realms OF fancy TO
name successful meh whose steps he
would like to follow ne finds it fact.
There is no call for young men, col
| lege bred or otherwise, in the editOrial
room, and diploma from a GermaA
university can not create demand.
Journalism is school, and it has its
primary department, as do all other
! professions or occupations whose goal
is q lofty one. Tho young man who
would make a name ifthe profession
and yet expects TO begin and finish
| writing editorials has distorted view
of the work before him Its no long
er necessary, however desirable, 10
have worked up frona the case" but
the idea of the head of a paper who
could not write local" correct a
proof, edit rural correspondence,
aud regulate affairs in any emergency
in The composing may he com
! prehensible 10 the graduate, but it is
ridiculous to the practical journalist
The only place to master these details
is in the Office.
But there is one subject paramount
in which the journalist must be equip~
ped, and that is 9 knowledge OF Am
erIcan politics. 1t needs no argument
to show that the field for such training
is not abroad 1t is at home II is in
the passing through successive CAM
paisns, each one furnishing the close
observer OF events with knowledge
and foresight that shall make his pen
a power. We do not decray the polish
aud generally broadening effects of a
year or two abroad. To the young
man of leisure and means we would
recommend it, but VIC would warn all
such against false hope of substitu-
ting such general culture for the prac-
teal newspaper training only TO he
obtained BY long hours and rough ex-
perience in the several departments.
