CHAP. AAVIIi.-BOLSOVER HIMSELF AGAIN.
Astonishment was not the word. For
the moment was simply stricken dumb.
The idea of my commanding an army Of
piebald warriors in the field seemed too
absurd for credence. l could not believe
that Nab was in earnest, and was about
to tell her so, when she drew me aside.

The Sultan's Closet Skeleton.

Letter to the Glasgow Herald,
If things were done in Turkey as elsewhere
the decease Of the sultan's mad half brother.
Murad V, would have been notified to the Dip
lomatic body, and the Turkish court would
have gone into mourning. But it is forbidden
to speak openly of the sutan's female relatives
or OF the sultan's heir. The man who will sue
coed Abdul Hamid is q wretched, lean. pale
faced creature of fve-and-forty, named Mo-
manned Reched. He is the sultan's own
brother, and is kept close prisoner in the pal
ace grounds lest he should cOnspire for his
majestys downfall. He has certainly no such
intention, but usage requires that a sultans
heir apparent should be treated as a suspected
criminal and Abdul Hamid is much too nervous
creature to innovate in this particular He has
a horrible fear lest his brother Murad V. who
became crazy from having been raised to the
throne too suddenly, should recover his senses.
but OF this there is no chance and now that
Murads mother is dead who will there be to
prevent the poor lunatic from being hurried to
his end by IA pinch of something in his coffee?
Murads mother, the Sultana Nadine, superin-
tended his household and never left him. II
would have been impossible to modest him while
she was alive, but it would be only too much in
keeping with Turkish traditions if the unhappy
mailman were now quietly removed in order
that Abdul Hamid might sleep more soundly.

Public Men and Interyiewers,

Grover Cleveland ranked as an easy man to
interview when he was mayor of Buffalo. Since
he became conspicuous he has not been an
easy man to interview. But he can't say bright

for instance. He invariably declines to be in
terviewed nowadays
Governor David b. Hill does not believe in
this sort of thing. While there is a ghost of a

promotion he will never let the grass grow

that equally are they ignorant of the goodly
fashion of kissing. These statements had their
due effect upon the audience. it being observed
that the masculine portion of the hearers were
the more impressed by the former statement
and the feminine portion by the latter As the
audience was dispensing, with all the chatter
of comment, gossip and banter which belongs
to such gathering, one young woman was
overheard confiding to another her sentiments
in phrase which was at once most human,
expressive and picturesque.

GENIUS AND ART.


Joe Howard in Boston Globe
AS a friend and as reporter knew Beecher
very intimately, and nothing was more inter-
esting than to note the difference with which
he would deliver lecture tonight and again
tomorrow night. The lecture was there, but its
delivery, its effects. oftentmes its very phras-
ings, were no more identical night after night
than are the sunset pictures on our western
skies. In other words, he was man of moods;
his temperament his surroundings, the pecul-
arities of the audiences, the happenings of the
day ana the channels in which his thoughts
were directed mediately preceding the de-
livery of his lecture had much, all, indeed, to
do, not with the line of argument to be fol-
lowed but with the way III which he put it, the
imagery on which he freghted it and tho illus
trations by which he clinched it,
In other words he was genius.

of this, that and the other gesture. and then,
with his gown on, having practised its delivery,
searching the very mirror for suggestion. he
places himself i'll the presence of his people, as
might a shaft of marble, to be looked at and
admired. A sermon delivered in the Park

is the better of the two SO far effects are
concerned. Individual comfort alone consid-

art is the same in winter as in summer, while
genius suffers with humanity: scars into the
