The plan is apt at any time to work
great mischief by throwing the decis-
ion of some heated contest, in which
the whole nation has been stirred to
its centre, on some close State in
which the political parties are evenly
divided. This was the case in the
last Presidential election, where
everything turned on the pivotal
State of New York.
One of the principal reasons that
induced our wise fore-fathers to re-
move the election Of the President
directly from the people, was that it
would be impossible for all the people
of the nation to ever become acquaint-
ed with the candidates. There were
only 5000, 900 people in the United
States at that time, and under the
conditions that then existed, there
was force in the argument. But the
wise men Of that day and generation
didn't dream of the railroads, tele-
graphs and daily newspapers that
would render such an argument ridic-
ulous when the population Of the
country had increased to 100000.
The electoral college is in fact, q
fossil. The men who compose it are
mere machines, so long as they act
honestly, and there is where the dam
ger lies. The will Of the people can
at any time be defeated by some cleo
tor who chooses to exercise the right
the law gives him of voting as he
pleases, and contrary to 1.-The way he
was expected tovote.

1nn Beauty OF Poets.
I'.ond- n Illustrated Ne VS..


Many gifts have been bestowed upon
our poets, among others physical beauty.
No doubt there are some who
have been ill-favored. Herrick, if
his portrait speaks truly, was an ugly
man; so was Jonson; so, as we all know,
was Oliver Goldsmith, and Pope, though
he had splendid eyes, was deformed.
But Chaucer, Spencer and Shakespeare
were handsome men. Milton, as a
young man was extremely beautiful,
and called the lady of his college, while
in later life the want of sight left his
handsome face uninjured. Dryden, too,
had fine features, and was notable
man in appearance Burns had eyes
which literally glowed, and Scott, who
had seen all the great men of his time,
said he had never seen such another eye
in human head.
SCOTS own face was homely and
lovable, but his eye, too, flashed with
poetic fire at the notes of border song;
and Southey had the most spirited coun-
tenance that ever human form was
graced with" Wordsworths face did
not, perhaps, indicate the fire and soul
within but Byron was splendidly hand
some, Shelley was beautiful, so was
Keats, who had IAN expression as if he
had been looking on some glorious
sight" Of living poets it is scarcely
lifting to speak, but as long as we still
have with us the laureate, Mr.. Brown
ing, and Sir Henry Taylor, there is am
pie evidence that the royal line of Eng
fish poets has not physically degener-
| ated.

Speaking of queer sleeping places
when we we're quartered in Little Wash
ington one company was quartered in a
brick warehouse, and the whole upper
part was divided into immensely big
birE containing corn all shelled. We
found it quite a soft bed, only when
once laid down in any position you made
quite a mold of your body in the yield
ing mass of corn, and frequently on
waking up in the morning would find
myself at an angle of forty-fve degrees,
my head down, nearly buried in the
corn, and my left OF right arm buried to
the shoulder. 1t was not so comforta-

getting cold or suffering any serious
discomfort resulting from exposure to
dampness, or rain, or mud beds, or any
thing of that kind. A fellow can get

were wet, build fire, if we could; if
not, stir about and dry them that way.

The Electoral College.

Clakrsvile Chronicle.
The electoral college has never
served the purpose for which it was
created since the election of the elder
Adams. 1t was supposed by the
trainers of the constitution that it
would prevent the excitement and
turmoil incident to a Presidential
election by taking the choice of a
chief magistrate out of the hands OF
the people. In this it has proven a
conspicuous failure. The republican
spirit is so rife in the people of this
land of liberty that they claimed the
right the constitution denied them in
this particular, and bya custom, now
long established, annulled this pro,
vision.
The only feature of the original
electoral college now preserved is that
the vote is counted by States, and the
arguments that may be urged for g
continuance of this practice are found
cd more in sentiment than sense

A s=T-To AT WEST POINT.
''Rough-and- Tumble" Fight Between Two
Pugilistic Cadets Ring and Referee.
Tinted Service

hougn-anu- tumble right Between Two
Pugilistio Cadets Ring and Referee.
United Service
Promptly the principals would throw
off uniform coats and and caps, unsling
suspenders, if they wore them-few
cadets ever did-and then the seconds
would see to it that rings were removed
rom the fingers. The referee would
caution the crowd against the faintest
cheer or noise, and order them to keep
we'll back if rough and tumble was
decided on, or to form ring if it were
"stand-up.' The former was most in
favor, as being quicker, sooner over
among evenly matched men, and less
liable to interruption, so 'rough-and-
tumble" it generally was, unless pair
of scientific boxers were pitted in the
ring.
Kicking, gouging, biting or striking
below the belt were never permitted an
instant The fight was lost to him
whose temper might betray him into
such thing, and no cadet was bound
to give him satisfaction in the future.
These things were we'll understood. In
three minutes from their arrival in the
fort the seconds had their men in readi-
ness; the referee quietly nodded go
ahead, and the men were brought face
to face, and, with no other formality,
let lily at each others headpiece For
two minutes, perhaps, they would make
the air lively with resounding thuds,
the blows would be thick and fast, and
the combatants would dance around at
lively rate.
Then would come the clinch, the
straining wrestle, and then the heavy
fall to earth, with the seconds bending
over and watching every move; and the
excited crowd muttering-not shouting
cheer or counsel, the struggle would
last until the exhaustion of one party
proved him defeated. Then his second,
not he, could call enough. A blow one
instant after that was foul; a word Of
menace or abuse during the fight was
punishable by the referee, and no man
dare interfere so long as fair play was
observed. | never saw more honest,
fair fighting than at West Point, and OF
the hundred or more that took place
during my four years of cadet life can
recall only two that were not pluckily
and stardily fought out to the bitter
end Then, and usually not until then
time and again have heard the lend
ing party, whether victor or van
pushed, express his regret to the chal
lenger for the word or deed that haC
caused the trouble.

HAD | THAT POWER.
[Mm Meredith Nicholson.l


Were endowed as Midas was OF old,
With wondrous wealth creating powsr,
such
As caused all things beneath his magic
touch
To be transformed into the rarest gold,
Until be went to where Pactolas rolled
And, bathing, lost the power which gave
oermuch
or yellow metal to his miSer clutch,
According to the ancient story told,
My prayer would ask the altering of my
gut,
That might cause all words TO be
grm'ned so
With thou htfulness that never one would
drift
Beyond the gateway OF the lips to throw
A shadow, but each should have power to
lift,
And truth should gleam with precious,
golden glow.

Venezuela has shrewd way of
supplying her deficiencies. When
any crop fails they abolish all duties
on it until a supply comes in, when
the duty is promptly restored. Last
year the grasshoppers destroyed corn,
rice, peas and beans. The ports were
opened to those commodities at once,
the country filled with them, and
now the Treasury Department has
received notice all duties are restored.
