"low do newspapers manage to
print elaborate obituary articles
about public men ON the mornings
following death-even though death
has been sud,ien:"
The foregoing is an inquiry | have
to answer, and my explanation may
interest others than the inquirer.
Let me relate an incident. In
1880 was requested 10y New
York daily to write biographical
sketch Of a distinguished citizen
whom had the pleasure Of know
ing intimately. The article was de-
liverei TO the paper and a check
handed me in payment. The follow
ing morning ! looked expcctantly for
my sketch, but it was not apparent
When, after several days ! inquired
the cause of its non-appearance,
learned the editor had not intended
printing the article at once, but tc
"pigeon hole" and keep it for use
upon the death of the subject. Ii
was SO retained until the demise oi
the statesman three years later.
There are two daily papers, tn,
New York Herald aud the Boston
Herald, in whose offices any man o
note can find his biography read,
for print. Each of these journal,
has a man in charge Of its biogiaph
ical bureau. He can put his hand
at u moments notice, upon the story
of the career Of any public man
This biographical editor watches tn,
newspapers, and ia other ways, keep,
posted with tn. doings Of the nota
bles, and when noteworthy episod,
is added to any ones previous doings
his history is taken from his pigeon
hole and the addition made.
j 1t may be remarked that in expeo
fancy of the early death of any
prominent parsonage, the biograph
ical sketch is put in type and only
needs the announcement of the 6eati
At its head to be locked into form
and swung on to the press. During

serving even the quaint spelling,
punctuation, capitalizing and italiciz-
ing of the original. This present
edition is printed without alteration.
Apart from It's Presumed connection,
with Paradise Lost, the poem has
very considerable merits Of its own,
and is in every way a literary curl
osity. JonS B. ALDEN, Publisher,

Nym Crinkle's Lecture ON Ingwsoll.
Why, | never hear lecture on
the cruelty of Christianity but | de-
tect the echo of a robust Calvinistic
spark running all through it. But it
will not do to pout all your life at
the moral law because your mother
trounced you when you were young
and pagan, A modern infidcl is great
on prehistoric times. A modest little
Christian like myself is content to
go by the little record, but the mo-
nent you hold up that record your
iniidcl bounces into the unknown
darkness Of Egypt, or the unmemo-
rial glooms Of India, or the unrecord,
ed background Of China. Shake a
well-attested fact at him and he be-
gins to burrow under the groves Of
Central America or dive into the
idolatrous crypts of Asia. The par
ticularly agile and prehistoric gem
tleinan that we are considering says
the myth of the Garden of Eden was
universal. Thousand. of years before
Noah WAS born this legend of the
Garden of Eden was current among
men. Here we throw up our hands
at once, for our friend is the only
contemporaneous man who knows
what was current among men thous-
ands Of years before Noah was born,
There is always this advantage in
getting beyond the reach Of human
expericnce-that you needn't be
afraid of human experience getting
after you. A capital way to defeat
Is TO tire it out with your
own agility and etfrontery at the start.

The Position of the FISHERY Trouble.

John Mcdonald is said to be daily In re-
raipt of communications from his col
leagues in the maritime provinces urging
him in the interest of that part of the Do
minion of Canada, as well in the interests
OF the conservative party OF which he is
the head, in those provinces. to hasten on
negotiations with the United States tov-
ernment for satisfactory settlement of
the fishery question. In view of the fact
that the dominion government will
have to go TO the country for re-elec-
ton within the next eight months,
and that Sir John Macdonald has been
bnsily engaged considering the fishery
question at Ottawa ever since the close o.
parliament there month ago, it is appar-
ent that he has at last become impressed
with the necessity of arriving at speedy
settlement of the matter. 1t is reported
that Sir John Macdonald, in reply to
a communication he recently sent to the
imperial government asking that two men
oi-war be sent to Canada to protect our
fishery interests. received an answer within
the last day or two which took no notice
OF his request, but peremptorily forbade
the seizure OF any American fishing vessels
by the customs officials OF Canada except
for violation of the customs regulations,
and suggesting that it wonld.be very salts
factory to the imperial authorities il no
seizures we're made by the Canadian au-
thorities under any conditions.

Another Bad Bank President.

Boston Special:-Richmond J. Lane,
president Of the Abingdon National bank,
was arrested in Portland and arraigned be-
fore the United States commissioner in
that city. Bank Examiner Gatchell testi-
fed that the funds fraudulently obtained
would probably amount to &135, 600. OF
this sum $40, 900 is represented by notes
in different names to cover drafts on the re-
demption agent of the bank and bout $780,
900 represents over drafts. Counsel for
Lane stated that his client had gone to
Portland on business Of the bank. The
district attorney said tie government
claimed that Lane had got large sums on
notes ON which the names other than
Lanes were straw. He asked that bail be
fixed at $4,000. Commissioner Hallet
fixed the bail at 500 900, and the case was
continued to July II. The bank has
stopped payment. At the close ofbanking
hours. the bank had $40, 600 on hand. 1t
is thought that the shortage viii amount
to nearly $3.50, 900.
