Sharp Criticism.

The Hon. Henry W. Paine, who is
one of the most prominent members of
the Boston Bar, did not entertain the
greatest respect for the Supreme Court
of Massachusetts, as it was at one time
constituted. His opinion Of it may be
gathered from some of the sharp re
marks attributed to him by the Green
Bag:
Once, when asked his opinion of the
wisdom of appointing a certain person
of acknowledged ability to that bench,
he replied. ct would be like letting q
ray Of light into a cave of bats"
On another occasion, while arguing
a case before the court, he made a
statement Of the law as he understood
it to be. He was interrupted by one of
the judges with the remark, "Mr.
Paine, you know that is not law"
1t was law until your Honor spoke,
replied Mr.. Paine.
One afternoon, as he was riding in a
Cambridge hOrse-car, reading a book
bound in sheep, a friend remarked to
him, 'Ah, Mr.. Paine, I see that you
are reading law"
"No, sir, was the reply, 81 am not
reading law; 1 am reading the last vol
ume of the Massachusetts, Reports.
He was much annoyed on one occa-
sion, when trying case in court, by
/ the constant and apparently uncalled
/ for interruptions of the presiding
Judge. Finally he stopped short
! slowly gathered up his papers, and
| started to leave tn e courtroom.
stop, sir" cried the judge, angrily.
care you doing this to show your con
| tempt for the court ?"
"No, your Honor!" replied Mr.
Paine; q was retiring in order to con,
! ceal my contempt"

A Go.Ahead Young Man.

The subjOIned incident, says Mary
W. Early, in the Portland Trans cTipt,
was related to me by the young man to
whom it occurred, a French vice-cOnsuI
in one of our Southern cities.
He said he had carefully studied our
grammar and literature before coming
to this country, but he was perfectly at
sea in conversation, lacking the right
accent, and ignorant of little cQllOquial
phrases current among us. However,
on landing in this country, he deter
mined to keep his ears open, and mas
ter cOlloquial English as speedily as
possible. There was one phrase he
heard often repeated, more so, perhaps,
than any other: "Go ahead" It was
on the lips of every business man, every
schoolbOy he met. From sailors, wagon
ers, and other rough people, he had
also frequently heard another phrase,
closely resembling the above in sound,
and so he became confused between
the two.
One evening he went to visit a very
elegant and accomplished young lady,
to whom he carried a letter of intro
ductiOn, but the conversation was stiff,
owing to his imperfect knowledge and
defective pronunciation of English. It
was, therefore, quite a relief for him
when some one proposed for the lady
to sing. She picked up a song and pO-
litely turning to him said:
~This is a French song. Shall L sing
it for you?"
To which he, with puzzled air, re-.
piled:
"GO to hell!"
Snip said the young lady, her face
flushing scarlet.
What did you say, sir?" demanded
her brother, with flashing eyes and
fiery tones.
81 said, go to hell, innOcent1y re-
/ peated the Frenchman, annoyed at the
| commotion he had created.
How dare you? Leave this house
| Instantly" cried the young Southel Ter,
| laying a strong restraint on himself to
avoid expediting the Frenchman's de-
! parture.
@Oh, brother, interposed the gentle
| girl, "there Is some mistake, some mis-
understanding here. Monsieur --
! does not understand the meaning of the
/ expression, I am sure.
The poor Erenchman was indeed be-
| wildered and distressed. Fortunately,
in his confusion he betook himself to
/ French, which the young lady under
SCOOu D0CUeI ti1tih Nc Ul1u 1LlS44SLl5 50 ne
soon made clear to her the nature of
! his mistake He had intended to say
| "go ahead, as that seemed the pet
/ phrase Of the country, but he had Used
/ the other phrase, which sounded so
much like it that the difference was
! hardly distinguishable to the ear of the
| foreigner. An amicable adjustment of
the difficulty was made, but after that
the Vice-cOnsuI was extremely cautions
in his choice of language, striving to
act on the motto, "Be sure you are
right, and then go ahead"

through the nue-ilk6 interior as power
fuI ascending currents.
The phenomenon, however, VIII not
be attended by terrific floods unless
the atmosphere is densely stored with
water vapor, as it was on Tuesday In
the Cayadutta Valley, and as it was
on May 81 IN the Conemaugh Valley.
When such is the case, the violent as
cending currents suddenly lift the va
por-Iaden clouds several thousand feet
above the level at which they were pre-
viOusly floating, and hurl them aloft
into rarefied and cold regions Of the
atmosphere, where their vapOr Is in
stantly condensed into many tons OF
water. Gould the water fall as fast as
condensed it would be comparatively
harmless. But the continuous UprUsh-
ing currents support this mass of wa
ter at high level, and as their own vast
volumes of vapOr rising are condensed
they add to the water already accumu-
lated thousands of feet above the earth's
surface making, so to speak, a lake
in high air.
As the whirIwind weakens or passes
! from beneath this vast body Of water,
which its ascending currents have gen
Grated and upheld IN the upper story

increasing gravitationaI force to the
earth. In severe cloud bursts the wa
ter does not fall as rain, but In sheets
and streams, sometimes unbroken for
many seconds. The cloud burst of
1888 at HoIlidaysburg, Pa, excavated
many holes in the ground, varying from
twenty-five to thirty feet in diameter,
and from three to six feet deep. In a
| similar but milder storm, which visited
Boulogne last May, assures were cut
! in the streets eight feet deep and open
ings made large enough to engUlf a

An Old BOatman,s Lament.

An elderly grizzIed man sat on the
string of a wharf below COenties slip
the other evening Just as it was grow
ing dark, and gazed in q melancholy
sort of a way over the several acres of
canal boats lying in that part of the
East river, says the New York Mail
and Express.
"Thipgs is gettin' wuss and wuss
here all the time, he remarked at last
to a companion.
"How is that ?" inquired the listener.
How? How enuff, was the gruf
response. "Hev ye seen a fight round
here fer more'n q week? OF course ye
amt. 1 amt seed but one In mOre'n q
month, and that wuzn't a good one. I
kin remember wen we lister have 'em
every might've or three of 'em
Yes, sir; b'gosh! an they wuz good
ones, too.
"But there amt no more fun round
here any more. There amt nothin'
Why, if you listen you can't hear a
sound on any of them boats; nary q
sound. Wy, L kin remember a few
years ago, wen you could hear fifty
'cOrdeens gOin' on them boats Every
canaler that wuzn't a fighter had a
'cOrdeen or a poll parrot, and eff you
did't care for hghtin', why, you could
have a dance on the dock or some of
the boats, while the cap'n played on the
'cordeen. Similarly, if you wanted
fghtin', yer could have oceans of it.
But there amt no more of it, con
tinued the veteran with sigh. "There
amt no fghtin', there amt no parrots,
there amt no 'cordeens nor dancin',
there amt no fun, there amt no moth
in, and b'gOsh think III give up the
hull thing an go to drivin' a truck"
With this the old man struck his
pipe so viciousIy against the string
piece that the head of it broke off and
fell into the water, after which the
veteran plunged into a deep and de
jeeted silence as he 1heditated on the
DAYS that are not any more.

What a CIoudburst Is.

The phenomena of a eloudburst,
which can only occur in a tornado or
whirIwind, are not generally under
stood, says the New York Herald. The
whirI In which 1t forms Is not a very
broad and shallow disk, but tall,
columnar mass of rotating air, similar
to that In which the Atlantic water
spout or the famous pillar-like dust
storm of India is generated. While
this travelling aerial pillar, perhaps a
few hundred yards In diameter, IS
rapidly gyrating, the centrifugal force,
as Prof. FerreI has shown, acts as q
barrier to prevent the flow of external
air from all sides into its interior, ex-
cept at and near the base of the pillar.
There friction with the earth retards
the gyrations and allows the air TO
xush IN below and escape upward

Singing Among Mark TWain's Flowers.
I was recently sitting in Mark
Twain's home in Hartford, says a
writer in the New York Graphic. wait
ing for the hUmOrist to return from his
daily walk Suddenly sounds of de-
YotiOnal singing came in through the
open window from the direction of the
outer conservatory. The singing was
low, vet the sad tremOr in the voice
seemed to give 1t special carrying
power.
"YOu have quite devotional dOmes-
tic, I said to a member of the family
who came In shortly afterward.
That is not a domestic who IS sing
ing" was the answer. step to this
window, look in the conservatory and
see for yourself"
I did so. There. sitting alone on one
of the rustic benches in the flower
house, was a small, elderly lady. Keep
ing time with the first finger of her
right hand. as if with a baton, she was
slightly swaying her fra1 body as she
sang, softly yet sweetIy, Charles Wes-
Iey's hymn, Jesus, Lover of Ny Soul,
and Sarah Flower Adams Nearer, Ny
God, to Thee"
But the singer was not a domestic.
1t was Harriet Beecher Stowe! There
sat the once brilliant authOress like q
child grooming a faYOTite air.

pTlZe-hght, to the exclusion OF more I'M
portant matters. Mr.. Sullivan is the VIC
tor. He has vanquished a presumptu-
Gus and aspiring fighter, and the world
has started on its course again. The
man in the moon no longer wears
that expression of suspense on his rubI-
cund face. Those who scOrn to read
the glowing. sparkling, and gushing
details of a priZe-hght which is served
up on the first page, can amuse them
selves with the caUstic criticisms which
our thoughtful editor has written for
their special benefit. Those who read
the columns on the front page must
not suppose that the thoughts and SEN
timents therein are unanimously in
dorsed by the editor Of that journal,
for such is not the fact. Editors, as a
rule, are in search of the Iucre. which
by some of the poor and envious is
called filthy. IF you wish to read the
true sentiments of the editorial heart,
read we'll and digest his editorials
which you will find in some secluded
niche on the taiI-end Of the paper.
To say that prize-fighting Is a brutal
practice would be sUperfluOus, as any
one who is not utterly coarse in in
stinct is aware, but If we were to let
prize-fighters off "scOt-free, without
giving them a stinging rebuke in our
editorial columns, they, being natur-
ally ignorant, would misconstrue the
motives Of the shrewd editor, who
cares not for prize-fghts, but dishes
up the news with an eye to the main
/ chance. There is no doubt but what
/ prize-fghting is practiced more by
/ reason of the money that there is in it
/ than for the empty honor Of the cham
! piOnship. There are more ways than
! 0ne Of testing the relative strength of
/ two men. Some individual with a
! fertile brain would do humanity a
! great service if he would invent or in
| trOduce some new system or some
new method of testing the rela-
/ tive strength and endurance of peO-
pie with q fighting turn of mind.
! The writer would propose the follow
ing plan: Erect a wall or fence com
posed of heavy boards. These boards
should be at least one inch in thick
ness and have a good supply of knots
in them. The sIuggers, instead Of
bruising and battering each other,
should compete with each other for the
championship by striving to knock out
the largest number Of knots from these
heavy planks. The man who succeeds
in putting daylight through the boards
in the most places in a given length Of
time to be declared the victor. This
plan would do away with brutality an6
a great deal of adverse criticism on the
part of editors.
If I could write a severe editorial or
pugiIism, replete with stinging irony
and rebuke, 1 would do so, but what is
the use? The chances are that the
sIuggers would not read it, nor heed il
if they did.
