In recent Journal Of Education,'
Kate Sauborn mentions some Of the
more common expressions which mar
the conversation of young people
nowadays. and the following is espe-
cially held up to ridicuie:

tie ''perfectly lovely" But! that is
truly nauseating. I venture to affirm
that much abused phrase is used at
least ten times daily by every school
girl, every college girl, every young
woman in this country. 1t is the
stock phrase at Smith, Wellesley,
and Vassar; in fact. conversation
would droop and languish without it.
A young woman comes in to see me,
and she begins: 20 Miss Sauborn !!

General Harney'S Dignity.

S"""" HoJ s"'0o'
The following story is told of Gen
eral Harvey, when be was in COM
mand at Camp Verde. Texas. He
was an intensely dignifed officer, and
if there was one thing he detested
more than smother it was undignifed
haste. One evening, just as he was
about to hold dress parade, he per-
ceivcd that he had forgotten. mis-
handkerchief, and as the weather was
very hot, be said to his orderly:
Go to my quarters, quick, and
bring my handkerchief"
The orderly touched his cap and
started for the quarters, several hun
derd yards distant. After he had
proceeded a short distance, remem-
bering that there was no time to lose,
he broke into trot.

there is anything hate it is to see a
soldier running instead of marching

The second soldier started after
the first, but as the first one kept on
running. the second one saw his only
chance to deliver the message was
to hurry up, so he, too, broke into a
run. TO say that Harvey swore is
to use mild expression.
Here, sergeant, 60 after that man
and tell him if he don't stop running
I'll hang him up by the thumbs"
The sergeant started out on brisk
walk, bu! as his predecessor had a
good start, he too, began to run as

What Blaine Would Have Done.
Near York Herald.

~" WV 4AS' 0e~'
The possibility Of Blaine meant
the ascendancy OF daring, uncer:
tainty, adventure, inventive genius,
the policy of dazzling government
by lightning flashes; pottering over
Chilli and Peru and those lazy, half
clothed, greasy communities near the
eqator, who live on bananas, doze in
the sand: and think they are repub
lies, governing by sensation. one sur.
prise following another. and result
ing either in marvellous triumphs or
igniominous, irretrievable ruin. This
was what we were to have in Blaine,
aud the fascination involved in such
policy Of fancy and caprice, the
wooden nutmeg Bonapartism, was
among the sources Of his strength.
We shall have, on the contrary, in
republican policy, promises of good
behavior. serene common sense,
anthracite rather than petroleum,
care about the finances, no sentlmen.
tai grievances over suffering nation
alities, no Cuban revolutions or an
nexations, protection intensified, Law
ish appropriations, and no philoso-
phical Illusions that will disturb
vested rights. And We shall have q
party organization inspired by the
fercest passion known in moral
science-such a passion as we read
about in buccaneering stories of the
Spanish Main-the passion for gold
fred by the knowledge that the treas
ury is burdened to an overflow with
gold. ....:

Birth 5nd Presidential Eligibility.
Ne,r }0rL. Herald.

The agitation IS to the place of
General Shcridan's birth and his
eligibility to the Presidency las
brought to the Herald q batch of in
quires concerning the law On the
subject.
The Coastitut OF says:
No person, except natural ben
citizen or a citizen Of the United
States at the time of the adoption of
this constitution, shall be eligible to
the office of President.
From this it will be seen that in
our early history any person of
alien birth, if citizen at the time of
the adoption Of the constitution, was
eligibls to the Presidency, Alexan-
der Hamilton, for example, was
eligible though born in the West
Indies. There is still no constitu-
tional barrier to such persons, but
time has barred out all but citizens
of native birth.
What is meant by a natural born
citizen a? In general, citizen born
in the United States. But this is
not rule without an exception. Per
sons born in foreign country may
be native born citizens of the United
States. On the other hand there
may be those who first see the light
in this country who are not citizens
children Of foreign Ministers, for
example. Born at Washington they
are citizens of England, or Germany,
or whatever country their father rep
resents. Parentage as we'll as place
of birth is to be considere in deter
mining the citizenship of children
born either within or without the
United States.
A child born abroad Of American
parents is in law native born
American citizen and, if male, eli
gible to the Presidency. That is, if
the parents are citizens, and, like
Mr.. Blaine and family, are merely
travelling or temporarily sojonrning
in foreign parts. And the same may
be true of parents residing abroad for
years-as in the case Of Minister
or Consul in the service Of our gov
ernment. It. matters not whether
the parents are native or naturalized
citizens should take a foreign wife
in a foreign country child born to
them abroad would be an American
citizen, since the citizenship of the
father determines that of both
, mother and child.
Among the questions asked in the
numerous communications we have
received is this: Suppose a person
was born in Texas before is annexa'
ton by the United States, is he q
natural born citizenand eligible to
the Presidency? Our reply is that
he is not. He was born on foreign
territory, in foreign country. He
is an alien by birth. He became q
citizen, not by virtue of his birth
but by what is termed "colective
naturalization" He is therefore 9
naturalized, not native born citi
zen.
And this is also true Of all persons
who were born in Florida. Louisiana
and California before and became
citizens after such territory was &C
ouired by the United States. They
are not native born but naturalizeC
citizens of the United States.

One VIII Pray and the Other Won't
London II Il.


The archbishop of York has issued
prayer asking God "to remove this
grea. trial which Thou hast sent us'
i. e., the small pox epidemic. On
this DR.. Dallinger, of Sheffield, who
is an eminent man of science as we'll
as divine, says:
Il will yield to no man in rever.
ence for true prayer, but l will tell
you without finching that I cannot,
and will not, pray for the removal of
the smallpox scourge. 1t would be
mockery Of God. Let US do our
best, and then in hafied agony cry
to God for help. But here we have
not helped ourselves, and how dare
we ask the almighty to help US? Let
do our duty. act up to our knowledge,
and surely as the smallpox curse
came among US by physical laws
broken, so it will depart from US if
we see to it that physical laws are
obeyed.'

GALVESTON, Tex, Jan. "A sensation
was created In this city this evening by
the attempt Of Hon. ". 81. Jerdone to
commit suicide. It is though he was
suffering from slight arrangement, prob
ably induced by the use OF morphine and
other stimulants. The affair occ urred at
his boarding house and the weapon used
was an ordinary pocket knife, which he
plunged into his bowels four times,
making as many terrible wounds which it
is feared will result fatally. Major Jer-
done is unquestionsbly one of the ablest
lawyers in Texas. In 's4 he was elected
to the state Senate and served with dis
tinction. He is native Of Petersburg,
Va, graduate Of Virgins Military In
stitute, and represents one of the most
aristocratic families Of the Old Dominion.
He entered the Confederate service at
seventeen and served through the war with
distinction. He was carried to the hos
pital where he now lies in semi uncon-
scious condition. No other cause can be
assigned for his attempted self-destruc-
ton than alteration of the mind caused
by dissipation.
