noise Well, he will have every opportunity,
although the appearance even of genius
would not now make stir. Are there,
then, so many geniuscs among usi Scarcely
this, but the level of medocrity is higher
than II was, and people are contented with
IL and sometimes mistake it for run. Sacree,
who would not laugh at "Vivian Gray" IL it

most OF Disraelrs are published all the year
round and scarcely obtain passing recogni-
tion. Young Coningsby must not expect TO

is more cynical and blase than 1t
was when his uncle rose above the horizon.
Much speaking and writing have deadened

Success in any career is more difficult to

ICoprfGht 1889 by James Gordon Bennett.l
PARIS, May 1S.-TNew York Herald Gable
SPECIAL to THE BEE. THE weather is de-
cidedly playing us false this year so far and
nothing but leaden skies, storms and threats
of storm, which, when they combine to cool
the air and leave us with muggy, heavy at
mosphere, without ray of sunshine to en-
liven the crowded streets, dispute this un-
fortunate circumstance. Paris is visibly fill
ing, and the wonder is where the crowds of
foreign and provincial visitors will find
place to lay their heads. Every thoroughfare
is so crammed with carriages that the task
of crossing roads is more risky
even than usual, and it is common thing in
q street like the Rue Paix to have to wait
ten minutes before one dares to chance a
rush with one's life in ones hand through a
continual procession of cabs, coaches and
private carriages.
An idea was started this week, in con-
sequence of the unfinished state of the ex-
hibition, that after closing during the winter
months it should reopen next spring, tn o
government inviting the monarchial nations
who declined this year to take part. The
suggestion, started by the Herald, has been
warmly taken up by portion of the press,
and it may become reality, thus affording
many foreigners prevented this year the
opportunity of seeing the great show
So far as outside attractions are con-
cerned the managers of theaters and other
places Of amusement hold to their determi-
nation not to offer too many novelties to
foreign invaders. Esclarmonde is notable
exception, and, barring this. nothing is
worthy of notice so far save "Trap Aime," a
three-act comedi bouffe produced at the
Cluny theater. There is nothing strikingly
novel in the plot, the main idea having been
made use OF by playwrights innumerable
The hero Is a genial old bachelor, who de-
cides to become benedict, and devotes his
attentions TO young heiress.
She is willing, but the ladies'
who possessed the previous affections of the
suitor are aware of being ousted from their
place in his heart. He is obliged to devote
most of his time to thwarting their designs,
and consequently neglects his promised
bride. Meanwhile youth comes along, who,
finding the coast clear about the heiress,
steers his bark into those waters and induces
her to cancel her previous engagement.
Judging from what has been allowed to
leak out concerning the evidence collected
by the high court of commons, the case
against General Boulanger is far from being
a strong one. The other day a
journalist was examined in reference
TO an interview he had with M.
Laguerre, in which the latter limited that in
the event of the next chamber being Boul-
angerist and meeting with any resistance
from the senate and president, a coup de
force was possible, declared that the words
attributed to M. Laguerre were authentic,
but that Boulanger, whom he questioned on
the subject refused to give any opinion on
what his supporter had said.

DRESSED BEEF DIFFERENTIAL.
Their Adjustment Explained BY One
on the Inside

CHICAGO, May 1S.-- Special Telegram to
THE BEE. IA railroad man, who is on the
inside, explains the adjustment of dressed
beef differentlals as follows:
"When the 5O-cent pasing rate was made,
the Erie, in connection with the Chicago &
Atlantic, made 43l6-cent rate. This rate
was also made by the Wabash. Not long
ago, when the rates were again under consid-
Grafton, the Erie agreed to raise its rate to
45 cents, but demanded a Ascent rate over
the Niagara frontier line of the Grand
Trunk. President King, of the Erie, un-
doubtedly did this to divert traffic from the
Chicago g. Atlantic. Such action had its le-
gitimate end in the Chicago & Atlantic fall
ing into the hands of q receiver. The other
roads tumbled to the plan, as did
Chairman Blanchard. They all knew
King would not demand a differ
ential from the Chicago & Atlantic
because 1t would then carry good share of
the traffic. A good many hints were given
King that he could get Chicago s. Atlantic
differential, but he wouldn't ask TOR it. If
he could have precipitated rate war, as he
did last year, he would have done so, but the
other road saw his plan and wouldn't have
budged peg from the IS rate. Then, you
see, the Chicago & &sAtlantio would have
gobbled the business and NO receiver would
have been appointed"
Judge Volney t. Malotte was to-day ap-
pointed receiver of the Chicago & Atlantic
road by Judge Gresham. Receiver Malotte
Immediately qualified in bonds of $4,000.
He was formerly president of the Indiana,
Peru & Chicago road, which was bought out
by the Lake Erie & Western. He is now
president of the Indiana National bank, of
Indianapolis, and vice president and general
manager of the Union Railway company, of
the same place.

The Little Myths of Childhood.

There is a society somewhere I read about
the other day for the suppression of nursery
literature I know several people who think
children should not be taught what they call
rubbish. They say it misleads them; that
they find out some time the absUrdity of
those stories, and that it weakens their faith
in their parents. don't think that society
will ever make any Roadway. wonder if
there is anybody who is not forever grateful
to his mother for having told him those old
myths and made him believe them for
awhile2 What would a mother do if she
could not take her child on her knee and
sing nursery rhyme to it and tell pretty
story2
What is there In life, any way, when you
take the fanciful out Of it, Eating, drink
ing, working, sleeping. Tell the child the
truth and 1t will not be disappointed, they
say. My friends, the truth is a pretty hard
thing to tell to grown up people. The truth
about life IS not pleasant We have to lie to
make life bearable. The poetry of life is
mainly lie; but it is the enjoyable element
after all. Lie to children. Paint the world
as bright and happy as you can. Give them
all the pleasant pictures of it you can. They
win find its hard and practical character
quite soon enough, long before they have
been seriously misled by fanciful stories and
myths invented by love and affection.-San

Mothers of Good Men.

When Lydia Newmans old Quaker uncle
saw that she had fastened her pretty little
Newport ties with poppy red ribbons he
frowned and told her it was not sesmly. But
Lydia laughed ~ don't care for them my
self" she said, "but l want my little boy to
remember that his mother wore red bows on
her Shoes Who does not remember the
pretty things that mother" woref Her dam
ty laces, the pale lilac dresses, the rose tuck
ed under the lace on her breast, seem half di-
vine when they become but memories to US.
Mother" is mother be she gentle OF
rough, but what a different ideal we have
when we recall how proud we were when we
brought friends home from school and rather
surprised them with her graceful, pretty
ways
Her hair was SO soft, her eyes so tender,
she talked so well and knew how to make a
boy feel at home 1t was not necessary TO
make excuses for her and say she was so
busy. The other boys themselves praised her,
and we felt sorry for them because we knew
they must feel how much sweeter and pref
tier she was than their mothers could be. 1t
is wise for mother to take time to dress and
be fair in her children's eyes; to read for
their sake; to learn to talk well and to live
in today. The circle the mother draws
around her is more wholesome for the child
than the one be has to make for himself, and
she is responsible for bis social surroundings.
1t is not easy to be the child's most interesting
companion, and to make home his strongest
magnet, but the mothers who have done this
have been mothers Of good men.-Chicago
