A Chapter on Taste.

Taste is the power to perceive tho
beautiful. Experience is needed for
this, and, therefore, the formation Of
taste is not only varied, but gradual.
No one would be content to adhere to
his childish Judgment, for in most cases
it would be but IN imperfect one In
the period of youth all is novelty and
the estimate of every thing is naturally
exaggerated. Ayoung man goes to tho
theater for the first time; tho actors are
by no means talented, the scenic ar
rangements arc any thing but realistic,
but it Is Of no consequence. the youth Is
enchnnted-it Is u new world to him
and he is, therefore. so carried away
that he is absolutely incapable of form
ing u sound Judgment; it is not that his
taste is bad, but it is simply uniformed.
But besides experience, cultivation ia
required. To acquire good style in
composition. and, therefore, to thor
oughly appreciate the best writer's. ID is
by no means sufficient to have written
a great deal. experience is not enough
here; there must be II careful study OF
the bes. authors, and this study will be
a great assistance to the requirement
OF sound literary taste, London

THE NEW CHIEF JUSTICE,
A Man of Whom tho Country, as We'll as
His Party, May Be Proud.

The greatest prize of the legal pro-
fession, the richest jewel in the crown
of professional labors, has been
awarded, and Justly awarded, to our
distinguished townsman, Melville w.
Fuller. A more fitting selection. or
ono that would better command the
respect of the bar and the country,
the President could not make.
Rich in the requirements essential
to the judicial character, Mr.. Fuller
also possesses the firm and just mind
and the courage necessary to him who
would worthily fill the seat made
illustrlous by Jay and Ellsworth, by
Marshall and Tancy.
A lawyer in the very front rank of
his profession, thoroughly vers ed in the
wide and varied learning of American
law, he is also q scholar, and ripe
and good one. The law is Jealous
mistress, and cXacts from her de-
votees the most unwearying allegi-
ance, yet while giving this mistress all
her due, Mr.. Fuller has found time to
stray at times in the alluring fields of
literature, and to cultivate and widen
his mind by liberal studies This has,
indeed. made him all the better law
yer. and will make him all the better
judge. Few of his predecessors have
been more exccllcntly equipped in
these respects.
AS his practice for many years has
been confined largely to the Federal
courts, he possesses all that special
knowledge in Federal procedure which
his immediate te predecessor did not have
when he took his seat on the bench.
He has, too. II profound knowledge of
constitutio nal law, gained from study
of the fathers of the constitution and
from the best expositions of the Fed
eral courts. Reared politically in the
school of Jefferson, he is strict con-
structionists. and in accord with that
ehcory of government, the foundation
of true Democracy, which insists on
the largest personal liberty commen-
suratc with justice to all. He believes
that this is better promoted by the
local governments than by the central
power. He understands the just rela-
tions of the people to the States and to
the National Government, and hollis
that the States are as indestructible as
the Union. Thus he will hold will.
even hand the scales of justice on all
high constitutional questions. The
Democracy of the Union are to be con.
gratulated upon this wise appointment.
1t gives the promise that their
equal voice will have weight in the
Amphictyonic council of the Nation.

AMERICAN exPLoReRs.
what They Have Done and the wonders
They Have Reveaied.

Tney Have Reveaieus
Explorers from America are in every
land and on every sea. Already she
has contributed her quota OF martyrs
in the frozen North, and has led the
way to the torrid regions Of Africa.
The people of Europe, through Colum-
bus, opened up u new world for us;
and we, through Stanley. have dis
covered new world in the old for
them.
Much has been done on land. little
on the other three-forths of the earth's
surface. But here Americans had laid
the foundations Of new science the
geography of the sea.
Our explorers have mapped out the
surface of the ocean and discovered tho
great movements of the waters. They
have traced the southwark flow of the
Arctic waters to temper the climate of
the torrid zone. They have followed
the northward set of the heated waters
of the equator and have shown how
they form these wonderful rivers of
warm water that flow. without walls,
through the colder waters of the sea
until they strike the western shores OF
Euopc and America, and how they rem
der habitable the almost Arctic coun-
tries of Great Britain and Alaska.
They have even followed these warm
currents further and shown how they
penetrate the Arctic Ocean to lessen
the rigors of the Arctic cold. Bravely
but vainly have they sought for the
ignis fatuus of explorers the open
polar sca-produced by the action of
the warm waters from the south.
American explorers have sounded
the depths of the ocean, and discovered
mountains and valleys beneath the
waves. They have found the great
plateaus on which the cables rest that
bring us into instantaneous commune
cation with the rest of the world. They
have shown the probable existence of Il
vast submarine range of mountains,
extending nearly the whole length of
the Pacific ocean-mountains so high
that their SUBMITS rise above the sur
face to form islands and archipelagoes
in the Pacific, and all this vast region
of the earth, which, few years
ago, was considered uninhabitable on
account of the great pressure, they
have discovered to be teeming with life.
From the depths of the ocean they
have brought living things, whose lives
were spent under conditions of such
pressure that the elastic force of their
own bodies burst them open before
they could be brought to the surface;
living creatures, whose self-luminous
spots supplied them with the light de-
MED them in the deep abyss from which
they sprang-abysses so deep that the
powerful rays of tie sun could only
fcebly penetrate to illuminate Or warm.

CURING OF GRASS.
The Relative Value of Hay Made in July

] once laid up NOW of timothy and
redtop, with small percentage of
clover. One part of the hay was cut as
soon as tho herdsgrass was in bloom;
the rest in the same field was allowed
to ripen. The early-cut hay produced
milk and growth without meal. When
it was half gone we changed to the late
cut hay, and fed tho whole NOW. The
stock survived the change. but when
the carly cut hay was resorted to again,
began to show signs of life. and the
growth and milk produced was all in
favor of the early cut hay. l have
often regretted that tho figures were

the hay is removed. That portion OF

The list might be extended, but
enough are given to furnish food for
thought If this heavy burden were
necessary TO support the Government
no patriotic citizen would object to the
tax thus imposed. but the truth is it is
mol necessary. BY the maintenance of
this tariff money Is being drawn from
the people that is not needed and can
not be used. The injustice of such n
system is too evident to need discus
sion, and tho suggestion that the in
Justice be doau away with and the taxes
reduced to the actual needs of the
Government is the cause Of all the
bowling about free trade and dangers
to American industries. There is still
greater injustice in that the tariff does
not bear equally upon the people, The
