Of attempted bulldozing that Boss MA
HOME aver conceived.

If no political motive prompted tho mr.
rest of the judges of election at Aspinwail'
Charlotte county, why is it that they were
arrested at this particular timer II they
were amenable TO prosecution they should
have been arrested at the time they COM
mitted their alleged offence.

Two negro preachers in Richmond don't
know OF one Democrat in their large con-
gregations. What is the use of addressing
arguments to such voters9 They flock to-
gether like sheep. Truly they are grega-
rious.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1889-10-27

There is, of course" no political sig
nificance in the arrest at this juncture of
three Charlotte county judges Of election.
Nevertheless the circumstance should fire
the heart of every Democratic voter in
Xirginia.

All the correspondents agree that before
the last Of June the exposition was by far the
greatest ever known. For five weeks each
successive report was more encouraging.
When the number Of strangers in Paris
reached 100000 it was autographed IS some
thing wonderful 1t is now looked back to
rs mere beginning. At every entrance to
the grounds, say American visitors, an I'M
broken stream pours in for six or seven
hours after the opening; broken French is
heard from the tongues Of all nations from
Zululand to western North America, for
Buffalo Bill's Indians have rounded cut the

Hereditary Taints.

One result of the labors of physiolo-
gists has been the clearing of the mental
vision, and the gradual comprehension
of the great, pervasive and potential fact
of ''heredity." The sins of the fathers
shall be visited upon the children" said
Moses more than 5000 years ago. Proba-
bly, ne comprehended in buta very small
measure the significance Of his own
utterance. Not only do parents transmit
to children their mental peculiarities,
their moral tendencies, the features of
the face, the stoop of the shoulders and
the trick Of the gait, but they pass on to
them their blood, their brain, their
glands, their very soul and life. We do
not mean to say that heredity is a tyrant
from which there is no escape, and that
as is the parent in constitution and con-
duct, SO also must be the children to the
remotest generation.
If that were one of the discoveries Of
physiology, small thanks would be due
to the science from ovcrburdened man.
But it is not SO. The parent himself, as
is well known, can modify and make
worse or better both his constitution and
his character. Similarly, the child's
constitution and character may be
changed, until, by the operation of the
law of heredity itself, not very remote
descendant may be the antipodes Of his
early progenitorS. The discovery Of an
existing inherited faint of disease or of
vice in child is not cause for regret,
but for thankfulness. The disease faint
itself is, of course, 10 be deplored, and
so is the inherited vice; but its early dis
covery is to be hailed with gratitude as
pointing out lines of physical and moral
treatment which may lead 10 the prac-
teal enfeeblement of the faint or even
TO its Observation-Disclosures Hospital

Longfellow and Euripides-

In the course of Professor Jibb's speech
at the entertainment in behalf of the
Longfellow memorial, he said: The Pc
culiar source Of Longfellow's immense
popularity has been his faculty of saying
what every one can feel as true in form
which every one can recognize as beauti-
full; he pleases fastidious minds, but he
can also speak to the hearts of simple
solk with such power as 10 make his
words household words among them;
he deals with universal sentiments, but
he was not commonplace; he was lifted
above that by his delicate truth Of feel
ing, his exquisite fancy, his sense Of
humor, and his perfectly trained gift of
expression; we might apply to him what
Mrs. Browning said Of Euripides; his is,
indeed, touching Of things common
till they rise to meet the spheres. -

spring and Matched out few chickens,
which were taken from her and aided

THE BA5Y'S BEAD.

L am only bit Of amber
That dazzles the baby's eyes;
But the light in my innermost chamber
Is the light of the pristine skies.
For ages ago and ages,
When, far In the upper air,
Vast frs, like old archimages,
Shed incense everywhere,
And, all in the wide gray weather,
Which wrapped tho whole round world,
Solemnly waved together
As the thick warm vapors curled,
In the sunshine's sudden bursting
oozed from tOpmost bow,
And drank that splendor thirsting-
There is 10 such sunshine now!
And the wings that came round me flashing
None like them are fiuttering here
caught in my heavy FLASHING
And sealed in my shining sphere.
Oh. life that was wild and glorious
When the elements wrought for man,
And waved over fire victorious
Shaped the earth to her ancient plan
Then the tides, in the great world changes,
Rose in their mighty turn,
Rolled over the fir trees ranges
And the plume of the giant fern.
And ages had passed and ages,
When the winds scooped the deep sea floor,
And the seas in their storm blown RACES
Tossed me TO light once more.
And now, half Jest it may be,
Half q charm, you hang in your mirth
Roung the throat Of the new born baby,
The oldest thing on earth!
Harriet Prescott Spofford in st. Nicholas
