True Definition of Hatred.

The man of action looks down upon the man of thought, who returns the others dis dain. The poet despises the mathematician, and so on. We natuarally hate what we can not understand. Indeed, that is the true definition of misunderstanding. If we really understood our enemy we could never hate him-he would cease to be our. enemy. There is nothing we resent so much as being misunderstood. There is no person so offensive as the man who deems that he can take our measure as we stand, unless, in- deed, it be the woman who has the same con- ceit of herself and who is continually strok- ing our fur the wrong way to show how thoroughly she understands us Yet the mis- judgments we object to we are continually visiting upon our neighbor. Hawthorn once purposed writing a tale to show how we are all wronged and wrongers, averaging one another. It is pity he did not carry his purpose into execution.-Lippincott's Maga- yipa

the greenbackers had fused with the dem ocrats last year the democratic candidate would have been elected by a plurality of 1,5S7 If the Butler votes in 1884, and they were mainly greenback votes, had been given to Cleveland, Blaine's plurality would have been only 1884. It would be unsafe to predict that the prohibition vote in Michigan would be any smaller than four years ago; it will probably be as large if not larger. If the greenbackers vote for Cleveland the state will be very close. The result will depend largely on the number of votes drawn away to the united and the union labor parties.

Little Love of Nature.

No one who reads our English literature of a hundred years Iago or more can fail to see that the writers of that age cared nothing for the grandeur of mountain scenery. They speak of mountains as horrid, gloomy, for bidding. If any scenery appealed to them it was the most artificial terrace and tamest lawn. There was little sympathetic study of nature then under any form. Angling for trout and the fox hunt were the only pursuits that could suggest the eager search for rocks and plants and bugs, that is now carried on in the fields and woods. This newly awak- ened taste for out-of-door study, and this curious observation of nature is reflected in the literature of the time, and is often com mented upon by writers.-Youth'sC Compan- ion.

THE session of the house last night was a complete iasco. It was called for the pur- pose of considering bills reported from the committee on war claims to which there was no objection. The first measure called up was one championed by MT Bowden of Virginia, and this having been objected to, he retaliated by objecting to the next bill. Each new objection created a new objector, and as each consecutive measure was called up there was an ever increasing chorus of objections. Several of the wiser and more experienced members, who were aware that no business could be accomplished, interposed motions to adjourn, but they were invariably voted down, until MT Stone of Kentucky, chairman of the com mittee on war claims, weary of the ehilels play in which the house had been indu1g1 ing, moved an adjournment, which, at 9;20, was carried.

THE democrats are talking seriously of carrying Michigan owing to the recent fusion with the greenbackers, which will certainly go far to make the state doubtful.

It estimates the increase at about 5000 over the vote of two years ago, setting down the whole prohibition strength at 15, ,0O0 votes.

AFTER all their bowling about the Mills bill the humiliating fact is confessed by republican senators and congressmen that they are unable to offer any substitute. When the republicans made their minor ity report it was distinctly understood that they would prepare substitute bill.

They claim that the horse car company should serve the public instead of the public acting as servants to the rich corporations.
