Something of a Curiosity.

Mr.. M. B. Prince shows us a curl
osity the like of which we have not
seen before. It is number OF grape
vine cuttings with insects, &C., stuck
on the sharp prongs where the vines
have been pruned, illustrating the
method what is known as the butcher
bird has of storing it's supply of food for
winter use. There is a small frog
pierced through and securely fastened
on the sharp point of one piece, large
beetle impaled upon another, cata-
pillar on one, a spider hooked on
another and what is called the devils
riding horse,' a peculiar shaped long
bodied "critter" caught on still another.
These insects are as carefully and Sc
curely fastened on the sharp points OF
the pruned grape vines as If placed
there by hand almost, and they may be
found all over the vineyard. Mi.
Prince tells us he has observed the
same thing for several years. His lit
tie son Master Abram cut these pieces
and sent them to us.

stOnIy a Farmers Daughter. -

Charles Mortimer's Dramatic Com
pany played ''Onlya farmers Daugh-
ter'' to small audience at Burwell Hall
Friday evening. The play had been
seen here before, and while it is not a
very strong one it is nevertheless a
pleasing and entertaining drama with a
good moral. But the players Friday
evening did not make as much out of it
as there is really in it. While some Of
them showed that they possessed talent
and ability there was a lack of spirit
and animation about their work that
caused the play to drag somewhat.
This in part was no doubt attributable
to the number of vacant seats in the
house and we could not well blame
them for going through the perform
ance automatically and cutting the
piece as they did, but it was unfair to
those who were there and paid their
money to witness the full and satisfac-
tory presentation of good play. 1t is
hard to act or speak to empty houses
with any degree Of fire and enthusiasm
though, and if Mr.. Mortimer should
visit Henderson with his company
again we hope he will be greeted by
larger and more appreciative audience

MADE RICH BY A LASKING.

A San Francisco, CAL, dispatch
says, John James Mage, a quiet,
middle aged, well dressed man is
now staying here few days waiting
for the Mexican steamer to sail.
He looks prosaIc, but his career is
as romantic as that OF Monte Cristo.
Mage is now a Gautemalan million
aire, whe lives for nine months of
the year at Paris. Fifteen years
ago he was poor English collector
of insects in Guatemala, and also
acted as British vice consul at San
Jose. One day Commandante Con
zales ordered Mage to appear before
him. Mage sent word he would
come in short time. This incens-
ed the commandante, who was ugly
with drink, and he sent file of sol
diers after Mage, and when the bug
collector appeared ordered seventy
five lashes laid on his bare back.
This was done thoroughly and,
when finished, Gonzales shouted,
''Give him twenty-five more for
luck" When Mage recovered,
which was only after careful nurs-
ing, as his back was badly cut up,
he made formal complaint to the
British government. The result was
Guatemala was ordered to punish
Gonzales and to pay Mage $500 for
every lash he received. In default
of this, English cruisers would shell
San Jose and other coast cities. |
Guatemala readily punished Con-
zales, but tried hard to evade pay
ing $4,000 to Mage The British,
however, were inexorable, and the
poor bug collector was made a rich
man in one day. AS he had more
coin than heknew what to do with or
any one in the country then, Presi-
dent Barrios entered into partner
ship with him Mage became one
of the largest coffee planters, and
also secured the exclusive franchise
for building docks along the ports.
No one can land on or leave these
docks without paying 50 toll to Ma
go, while he also levies a tax on all
freight. He also owns valuable
mines and tracts of timber. His
fortune is estimated at s5,000,000,
all due to 100 lashes on his back.

ORIGINALITY VS.. PLAGIARISM.

The writer or thinker who puts
an old idea into new and impressive
form is fully as much of a public
benetactor as the man who invents
a new idea. The man with an alb
solutely novel idea is phenomenon
not often seen in history of litera-
ture.
All of US are borrowers. If ideas
were refused recognition because
something similar has been propos-
ed before, there would be a pretty
outlook tor progress in civilization.
This is as true in literature as in
history. The just criterion of a
literary idea is not whether it is
new, but whether it is ably and
torcibly developed. Plenty of peo-
pie before Mr.. Robert Louis Stew
enson's day had reflected upon man.
dual nature but CDR. Jekyll and
Mr.. Hyde" was none the less origi-
nal for that indeed, one of the
highest tributes which the public
can pay to.a literary man is the con-
fession that he has put into clear
expression the ideas which were
not original, but which had hoated
vaguely in the human mind ever
since man began to think. Who in
the long succession of philosophers
and Sages ever propounded a really
new idea? 'There is nothing new
under the sum-" said the Preacher.
The originality of history, philoso-
ply, and literature has consisted in
putting old truths and aspirations
into new forms.-New York Com
mercial Advertiser.

A PRACTICAL RELIGION.

We want a religion that softens
the step and tunes the voice to mel
ody, and checks the inpatient excla-
nation of harsh rebuke, a religion
that is polite, deferential to supe-
riors, courteous to interiors, and
considerate to friends; a religion
that goes into the family and keeps
the husband from being cross when
the dinner is late, and keeps the
wife from fretting when the husband
tracks the newly washed floor with
his muddy boots, and makes the
husband mindful of the scraper and
mat; keeps the mother patient when
the baby is fretful, and amuses the
children as we'll as instructs them
cares for the servants besides paying
them promptly; projects the honey
moon into harvest moon, and makes
the happy home like the Eastern f.
tree, bearing on its JCsom at once
the blossoms and the glory of un-
ripened fruit. We want religion
that shall interpose between the
ruts and gullies and rocks of the
highway of life and the sensitive
souls that are travelling over them.

THE oyERCRowDED PROFESSIONS.

THE OyERCROWDED PROFESSIONS.
No careful observer can fail to
note the increasing repugnance
among American youths to the
trades and TO mercantile pursuits,
and their constant tendency to the
professions. The evil is doubtless
due to two cause.-the increase OF
education and the desire for high
social standing. But whatever the
cause the fact remains. The result
is that, with perhaps the exception
of the clerical, the so-called liberal
professions are overcrowded to an ex.
tent never before seen. The country
swarns with haIf-starved profession
al men, many OF whom too often exc
out the sore conditions of their
lives by resorting to practices little
short of felony, and often to felony
itself. Within year there have
been more breaches of confidence
and criminal betrayals of trust
among lawyers than among any other
trusted business men in the COM
munity.
| There never was a more decep-
tive or unwise maxim uttered than
that attributed to Daniel Webster,
who, when the crowded state of the
legal profession was mentioned to
him replied: "There is room at the
top" Room at the top for whom?
one may we'll ask. Certainly not
for the commonalty of aspirants.
Doubtless there is room at the top
for the Websters, Curtisses, Pink
neys and Wirts, but one might as
we'll expect country roadster to
to outfoot Axtell as to hope that the
ordinary candidates for legal fame
can march in this class. Crowds
rush in yearly, only to meet with
disappointment and disaster in after
years. These people for the most
part live in a dream, wanting to be
professionals where there is no pro-
fessional work for them. And there
is certainly in the range of business
life no persons more pitable, even to
the borders of contempt, than those
who have sought professional sue
cess and met only with failure.
While this evil is generally recog-
nized, it is to be admitted that, as
human nature is constituted, there
is no remedy for it. Young men
and women, too, now-who want to
be lawyers will press into that, or,
if they want to be doctors will press
into profession, or, if they wish to
be preachers or electricians or en-
gineers or journalists, or what not,
still the rush will continue. There
is no let up or holding back. All
they see is the grand maxim of the
FOOLS paradise, There is room at
the top" and they swarm into the
ante-chambers, never getting a step
further, only to be suffocated in the
crowd. There is, indeed, room at
the top, but the ascent is so dizzy
that few can make it, and fewer still
can breathe the rarifed air OF that
region and live.
This universal ambition for dis
tinction is the curse of our time,
but it must run its course. No
preaching can cure it no daily list
of failures can dismay it. Chicago
Herald,
