GEN. LOGAN opens the campaign in
Pennsylvania at Pittsburg to day with a
speech which il said to make protection
the leading issue and wholly TO ignore the
bloody shirt though attacking tho Demo
cratic dogma of state sovereignty with a
severity whi;h a citizen of Illinois familiar
with the motto of that state, might as
well have omitted. Meanwhile, the letter
Of Chauncey +. Black, Democratic cam
didate for governor, %evinces a determine
ton to introduce into the campaign the
question of enforcing the state constitu-
ton as more pertinent to the issue and OF
more immediate importance to the

cHlaoeRApAY OF SOME WRITER'S.

Edgar A. Poet. s. Arthur-G. p. II
Janes-EiIhu Burritt-wIliAm Oil
moro neutrality-suspicious.
The late Edgar A. Poe was indeed a
strange genius. He has had no Amer
lean imitators. No one has ~endeavored
to mutilate the thoughts he left behind
him. His writings read like the wild
imaginings Of a mind diseased. He was
born to misfortune, and the knowledge
of it cast around him the gloom of
melancholy. His chirography is de-
cidedly picturesque, and evinces a mind
ysild AMI visionary. 1t gives evidence
of indcfatigability-a quality which he
possessed in al eminent degree. He
wrote a large, sprawling hand, light and
ineligible.
T. S. Arthur won a brilliant reputa-
ton as a novelist. He possessed talent,
superior talent, and employed it to the
best advantage. He wrote to instruct
the heart and head. No one, however
dull, but arises from a perusal of his tenn
peranoe tales a better man. His writing
was carefully studied, but at times was
hardly legible.
G.. p. r. James was a voluminous
writer. For a long period his produo-
tons were eagerly sought for. His a
uscript was plain. hurried. of course, but
very uniform and what the printers
term good copy.
Elihu Burritt, the learned blacksmith,
seemed to have possessed a mind as well
tempered as his own anvil. We are in
debted to him fol- some sparks from its
creative power that have burst into
never dying fame. His manuscript was
uncouth and irregular, but wonderfully
plain and distinct.
William Gilmore Simms once upon q
time was styled the "Bulwer of America
He was superior to Lord Bulwer in his
perception of the graceful, but in beauty
he was deficient to a certain extent. AS
a poet he did well. His greatest thoughts
linger in the mind like the recollection
of some gorgeous sunset. His hand
writing had much shape and suggested
grace. u mess and perfect freedom.
The autograph of Charles Dickens was
more picturesque han that of any other
author Of his time. 1t possessed all the
unique uniformity of the old German
text; and as distinctly legible as it was
graceful. There was a popularity in his
style that is beyond imitation. He
wrote in a sphere wholly his own. He
spread a few thoughts over a great sur
face OF paper. and extended them to an
unusual length.
The handwriting of j. Fennimore
Cooper was decidedly bad. OF the two
specimens lying before me. one seems to
have been written with a steel pen, and
the other with n quill. Both are fright
full in the extreme. Yet he possessed q
talent of the highest order, and left
name imperishable. There is a strange
inconsistency between his chirography
and his writing. Detroit Free Press.

THE report OF the possible marriage Of
an American girl to the ultimate presump
tive heir of British royalty in the person
of Prince Albert Victor of Wales. is one
of those survivals which occur once or
twice in every generation TO attest the
credulity of the journalists who seriously
discuss it, and generally to illustrate the
truth of Pack's motto, What fools these
mortals be" No possible heir to the
throne Of England can marry without the
consent OF parliament.

THE A~arlcuLArE HEART.

You touch the strings an then the sonl

Wnl wake and bring the tears to eyes
That do not often cloud or weep.
! wonder when / hear you play
AT twilight on your violin,
II all the thrilling tones you find a.
Are hid tue instrument within;
Or does the music OF your life
Fine voice along h sparkling strings.
And tell its secret In the dusk
To speed away on zepnyr wings;
Your heart is speaking. for l hear e.
A dual chor.l OF bliss and pain,
A symphony of life and death;
1t is loves sweetly sad refrain.

A CONFERENCE Of prominent colored
men. recently held at Boston, had what
Republican organs must regard as the
effrontery to resolve that the administra-
ton Of Democratic president is entitled
TO their cordial Endorsement 1t is be-
ginning to dawn upon the mind of the
colOred voter that among the civil rights
conferred upon him is that of arriving at
political conclusions fol hims. II, however
displeasing such monstrous and incredible
"ingratitude may prove to the party
which claims his untaltering trust and
blind obedience. Another rather singular
feature OF the conference was its omission
TO allude to that intimidation Of colored
voters which has formed the burden of
Blaine'- campaign eloquence.

Gen. William Ii. jackson, of Tennes-
zee, recently visited his old-time comrade
and friend, Gen. w. w. Averill. oil
cavalry fame. and the two were recount
ing "reminiscences of adventures on the
frontier. Thirty years ago they were
Young l~ieutenants in a regiment oil
mounted rihemen, then serving in New
Mexico.
Averill's regiment was resisting a pre-
datory band of Kiowas. Lieut.. Jackson
wa in the combat as Averilis guest.
Averill was a good shot, but was using
a small Colts revolver, and a Kiowa
chief with whom he became engaged
did not pay much attention to it.,
although twice wounded by it, once in
the side and again in the thigh. In
cooking the pistol for the third time the
spring Of the lock broke, and, as they
were at close quarters. Averill rushed
upon the Indian and tried TO brain him
with the weapon The chief seized the
lieutenant. and a wrestling match en-
sued without any hippodroming. They
became locked together. The Indian,
with his left arm around Averill, held
the lieutenant's right wrist with vise-like
grip Of his left hand, preventing the use
OF the pistol, while in turn the right
han.i of the savage. with a knife in its
grasp, was held off by Averilfs left
clutching his wrist. Round and round
they plunged and twisted and strained
in the life and death struggle, the knife
rapidly approaching nearer and nearer
to Averill's throat. VIII n jackson, who
had been looking for his friend. found
him in this deadly embrace. A he rode
up Averill was wondering if that Indian
would ever tire out or pause for breath;
but he was as strong and active as n
young buffalo," which was his lame.
Then he heard Jackson's voice sing out:
Steady, Averill, Pm going to shoot"
But the Indian heard the voice also.
and took good care to keep Averill's body
between him and the proposed shooter.
Finally, Jackson rode close up to the
pair, and placing the muzzle of his pis-
tol directly az inst tho Indians right
arm. fired, breaking the BENT arm both
above and below the elbow. The Indian
coolly dropped to a sitting position and
exclaimed in Mexican-S panish: Shoot,
curse you'll"
A cowardly Mexican. who had been
hiding near by brought a heavy revolver
to Averill and begged him to kill the
Indian; but Averill replied: "No, he is
a brave man, and l would sooner kill
you."-New York Sun.

Rotation Of forest growth has long
been a theme of specialization exam

pine after the latter is cleared off. In a
paper contributed to The American Nat
uralist Mr.. John T. Campbell gives some
notes Of his own observation on the
agency of birds and animals in this re-
suit. OF these he gives the palm to the
crow. II have seen crows" he says,

oak he will pluck an acron, which he
may carry five miles, and light on q
beach tree, where something else will
attract his attention, when he will drop
the acorn. and may be pluck a pod of

Barlow's Budget is generous enough to
credit to Editor Out of Wyomin0 and
It's Future, an article on the origin oi the
name, Wyoming, which that cnterprising
journalist conveyed bodily from the
seventh page OF Governor Warren's off,
cial report to the secretary of the interior.
The fact that the article is written in good,
presentable English. ought TO have opera
ted as a danger signal. In these
high attitudes that peculiar method of
editing seems to be too prevalent to
warrant the crediting even of loaded mat
ter except to newspapers of approved pro-
fessional honesty, and it does not appear
that the journal quoted is above suspicion
in that respect.
The Budget also joins in the general
wall az to the insuficiency Of mail service,
an evil which will probably be remedied
in the near future by the election of an
enterprising and attentive delegate to rep
resent territorial interests in all the de-
partments of government, as well as by a
casual and mostly imperative attendance

FATE OF A MIsCEGENATIoNIsr-Shre
La, August .6.-Rumors have been in circula-
ii on of the assassination Of Capt. 7. j. Lusk,
an old and wealthy citizen, at point in this
(Caddo) parish near the Arkansas line. 1t was
learned that Capt. Lusk was murdered on Sun
day morning by gang Of men who surrounded
his house and allied him out. As he appeared
on the back gallery he was literally filled with
buc kshot some fifty or sixty having entered his
body.
Lusk was known in the community as mis-
cegenationist. He had abandoned on estimable
wife some time ago and taken up with q negro
woman. His wife was Virginia lady aud is
still alive. He was warned by written notice.
posted on his gate. to leave the country in q
limited time, which expired on the Friday night
before the killing. lie appeared to be indiffer-
ent to the sentiment of his neighbors on the
subject, and was brazen and audacous in his
immortality. Immediately after the killing of
Lusk his black partner was notified to leave the
country. and she stood not upon the order OF
her going but left at once.
