THE PATRONAGE OF FOOLS.
BY CHRISTINE TERHUNE BERRIcK.


AT the time of the publication OF the
revised version of the New Testament a
clergyman. who had made careful study
of human nature as well as OF theology,
protested himself greatly disappointed
that the chapter in Hebrews, reading,
s'Who endured patiently the contradlc-
ton of sinners" had not been altered so
as to run, "Who endured patiently the
patronage OF FOOLS" To bear the latter
with magnanimity, he argued, required
more strength and self-control than could
be demanded by any amount OF proyoca-
ton to wrath by contradiction.
To the educated mind there are few ex-
periences more trying than encounters
with limited intelligences in the line OF
argument. A species of impotentrage nils
the soul or the superior as ne percelVeS
how unaVaIling are his attempts TO pro-
duce any impression upon the case-hard-
ened intellect Of the one whom be strives
to enllghten. The keenest weapons OF
logic fall back with turned edges from
the impenetrable surface induced by
ignorance.
There seems to be no limit TO the wild
ness and absurdity OF the statements that
will be made in absolute good faith by an
illiterate person, ard the difficulty the
weil-informed man has in convincing him
of his error is generally in direct proper
ton to the extravaganza of the theory ana
TO the denseness of the prOmulgator's
ignorance of his subject. A thoroughly
educated lady was one day cOnversing
with the daughter of the farmer in whose
house she was spending the summer
months. The topic under discussion was
the sudden and alarming increase of
malarial disorders in that part OF the
state, which had hitherto been
noted for its healthfulness. The country
girl was ready with her solution OF the
mystery.

A SERIOUS AFFRAY At TRENTON
Mr.. JOc Mitchell Painfully Wounded
and His Assailnnt Fatally Perhaps.

Iu Whites store at Trenton occurred
yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon, about
dusk, n terrible affray the results OF
which were the breaking of tho lower

shooting, fa ally perhaps, of his assni-

Fuller, son,in-law of Mitchell. The
particulars are about as follows:
Mitchell and McCoats, some days ago,
had disagreement and quarrel.
They met yesterday in the store, when
a reconciliat'o ION took place, Mitchell
thinking 1t was complete and in good
faith. McCoats was well under the
influence Of liquor, and Mitchell was
