A Man Whose Art Was Natural Even When

1t is notable fact that no biographer
OF Cicero, / might almost say no stu
dent OF his epoch, has ever yet sue.
ceeded in remaining Indifferent to the
man. Over and above the homage due
to his transcendent gifts, his name has
always retained the power of stirring
emotion, of provoking partisanship, of
moving to enthusiasm or anger, as
though that brilliant, lovable, fallible
human creature were still alive, and
eloquent, and moving ''in his habit as
he lived" among men. What contra
dictory judgments have been passed on
his course as statesman, on the dis
interestedness or the mere blind obsti-
macy OF his adhesion to the republic!
In how many ways, almost Iudicrously
diverse, has his character been con-
ceived and illustrated, from the devout
point of view of the quattro-centro
humanist to the grotesque point of
view OF the ineteenth-century imperi-
alist! This he owes in part, think,
to his own grand carelessness of con-
sistency; to that very loyalty to the i'm
pulses OF rich and versatile nature
which the Delphian god had the in
sight to enjoin upon him at the outset
OF his political career. His art itself
was natural, even when it appeared
most consummate; for arts highest
works, as Goethe says, ''are also the
highest of nature. being produced by
man in accordance with true and nat
ural laws" l shall not therefore ad-
vance any theory or attempt any analy-
sis of my own, but leave the unguarded
correspondent of Atticus to speak for
himself to others, as he has very intel
ligibly spoken to me. l will quote,
however, since it seems to me in its
own way conclusive, the briefest sum-
mary of his case on record; the late
and perhaps remorseful admission of
the man who might have saved him,
but whose court we are glad, upon the
whole, that he did not live to adorn.
Plutarch tells US that grandson of the
Emperor Augustus was one day dis
covered By the latter poring over q
volume of Cicero's works. The bow in
stinctiVely thrust the book under his
mantle, but was ordered to produce il;
and the Emperor, taking it from him,
opened it and began himself to read.
He became absorbed; he turned leaf
after leaf; and when at last he gravelv
handed the volume back to the relieved
culprit, it was with the single remark:

loved his country. Harriet Waters

a Doc Awed by Thunder.


An interesting story was told last
year of supposed mad dog out in
Litchfield County that was killed be-
cause of its strange conduct, and after
ward it was found to have been only
frightened by the thunder. II had run
twelve miles. and then taken to
strange house, run upstairs and re-
fused to stir, and so was shot. 1t was
Scotch collie, and those dogs are
peculiarly susceptible TO and utterly
cowed by thunder. There is one in this
city not quite so bright as the sunshine
In fair weather, that becomes an utter
imbecile as soon as thunder or even a
fre-cracker is heard. Yesterday after
noon. amid the distant rumble OF a far
away storm, he laid aside his intelli-
gence and ran wildly on from home
withoutit. Along search for him proved
futile, but in acouple of hours he turned
up, all wet and muddy, at his owners
Office, ready to be escorted home. On
the penitential journey homeward they
met another dog, not quite SO big as
this one, and. at the sight Of the large
and ruffied collie, the strange dog
dropped fat upon his belly, and Law

A sTRANeE COMBAT.
How an American Boy Resented Royal
Jap's Impertinence.

How an American Boy Resented Royal
Jap's Impertinence.
When he was only seven years old
Prince Haru had an unexpected wrest-
ling match with small American boy
of his own age. 1t was at a school
entertainment in Toxic, and it began
by Prince Haru's noticing that the
young American kept on his Tam o.
Shanter cap in the princely presence.
Go and tell that boy to take off his
hatf' ordered the small prince to his
aide-de-camp.
Before the officer could reach the
offender, the insulted princeling slipped
from his chair, strobe down an
knocked of the hat with his own hand.
Young America never stopped to think
who the aggressor was, but struck
back, and in few minutes the future
Emperor and one of our future Presi-
dents had clinched, and were slapping
and pounding each other in the most
democratic manner The Mortified
mobiles of the Princes suite and the
frightened parents OF the young Ameri-
can separated them, and led them
apart, neither combatant feeling any
regret for what he had done.
That boy slapped me first, when
wasn't doing any thing to him!' per-
sisted the young American, whose
parents were almost expecting to be
arrested or beheaded for the unprece-
dented treatment OF such sacred be.

Il have punished that boy for his
impoliteness in wearing his hat in NV
presence" said the pompous prince
ling, frowning at his suite, Tightening
his little sword.belt and strutting uD
and down like young game-cock.
The tableaux and exercises went ON
quietly after that prelude, and when
supper-time came, Prince Haru was
seen eating pink and white ice cream

LIFE's TwILIGHTs.

when the lingering hours were laden
With the spoils Of a summer day,
And a wreck of light and beauty
On the far horizon lay;
When the sky grew soft with twilight,
Ere the stars begin to throng,
She passed me lightly humming
A snatch of a school day song;
And the dream sill moves my fancy
That dreamed with heart aglow,
As she tripped away to the sunset,
To the sunset long ago.
As lovers part we parted,
Where the winding paths divide,
When the evening clouds were golden
And the dav grew dreamy-eyed,
Her face was bright with bushes,
And her eyes with smiles and tears,
While the sunlight falls around US
Like dream of coming years,
And the air seemed hushed with music
That whispered soft and low,
As she tripped away to the sunset,
To the sunset long ago.
There's spot where silent shadows,
When the sun is brightest, lie;
There's grave beneath the naples,
Where the wild winds sink and sigh,
And there often wander.
With a saddened heart, alone,
When the dewy night-wind murmurs
OF the noisy day that's flown,
And recall the dreams cherished
Ere the world grew dark with woe.
When they bore her away to the sunset
To the sunset long ago.
There are shadows falling round me
And the darkness soon will close,
For my star is swiftly sinking
To the night from which it rose,
And often hear the whispers
OF lowering spirit bands
And the weird and airy music
That floats from spirit lands.
Yet each dream in my fancy fingers,
That dreamed so long ago,
As move away to the sunset,
To the sunsets dying glow.

The contempt of the traveller for

dog, the friend of man, were exempli-
fed recently. Sir Robert Sanderman
and passed close to wolf, of whom we
naturally took no notice, while he
skunk away as fast as his legs would
carry him without attracting too much
observation; but few minutes after
wards we had an engagement with
shepherd dogs which constituted a
more serious encounter. A scarcer
sight was that of the woodcock, which
the sportsman of the party missed, for
It is no joke to tear along roads on
horseback and dismount to shoot. Sur
geon Major Taylor shot four rock part
ridges. The country was full of grave
yards, but controversy RACES among
travellers as to whether, in the dry
district which lies between the Eu-
pirates, the Caspian, and Thibet,
enormous graveyards in an almost un-
habited district imply that once it con-
tanned far larger population. Per-
haps they do mean this; but on the
other hand it must be remembered that
nomadic tribes wander in great num-
bers for enormous distances in this
part of the world, and that they may
have their favorite burying places.
Then, even a small population here
makes large graveyard, because
the graves are kept up from
time immemorial. They are merely
heaps of stones, and passers-by fling
stones on to each cairn, and it may be
said that no grave once made is ever
lost. These grave-yards may have
seen the passage of Alexander, for the
rainfall is never sufficiently heavy to
disturb the stoues. A sign of the pas
sage OF many people is to be found in
the enormous number of rags which
decorate large trees where they exist.
Atour breakfast place, close to stream
swollen by the nights rain, which we
had to ford, there was great tama-
risk tree, which was sacred because
some holy man had been buried near
it, and rags-chiehy red, but not all
red-were tied to every bough. The
custom OF tying red rags to trees to in
dicate peculiar sanctity is one which
is met with in parts of the world as
distant from one another as the county
of Galway, New Zealand, Lithuania,
Siberia and Thibet In the little forti-
fed villages OF the valley was shown
the miniature mosques" which are
put up outside the fortified enclosures.
They consist of a fiat stone, about the
size OF an English gravestone, with a
headstone; and the villagers go out to
pray upon them one at time. In the
whole of the long distance from Quetto
to the shrine Of Sakhi-Sorwar did not
see single real ecclesiastical building
except those of our own Moslem SOL
diers. 1t is said that the Baluchis are
such bad Mohammedans that they used
not to pray at all until we came, and
that 1t was the example of our more
religious native soldiers which has in
duced them to begin. But | think that
there is some exaggeration in this
stetement, although it is certain that
at Khur they have lately built a pray
ing enclosure, like parish pound, not
having had any place of worship until
iaast year.-Fortnightly Review.

The total value of mineral products
OF this country in 1887 was officially
reported at $542. 660,535 From the
above statement it is seen that there is
an apparent increase of $177, 66O, ,407
over 1887. But this does not represent
the actual increase, for there is a long
list OF minor mineral products in the
1887 report which are not included in
the preliminary statement for 1883.
The exhibit for last year shows con-
siderable fuctuation. In domestic
iron for instance, there was an increase
OF 700, 600 tons in quantity, but a de-
crease of 81, $50, ZOO in value. In pig
iron there was an increase of 1880
tons In quantity, but owing to low
prices the value of the output was SIG,
925, 800 less than 1887. Steel products
decreased in both quantity and value
being worth $14,811, 900 less than in
1887. Silver shows a large increase
over 1887. The coal product of 1888
was $50, 625, 1894 greater than that of
1887.
The figures giving the worlds min
eral product for 1887 or 1888 are not
attainable. and an exact comparison
can not therefore be made But ac-
cording to Mulhall the total value of
all minerals produced in 1880 was
$l,215,000. There has certainly been
some increase since. But there seems
to be no reason to doubt that nearly if
not fully one-half of the mineral yield
OF the whole globe at the present time
should be credited to the United States.
Truly our possessions are marvellous in
their richness.-Troy On. Y.) Times.

One OF the oldest undertakers in San
Francisco recently told an Examiner
reporter that he would not exchange
occupations with any man in the State.
said he:
'1 tell you there is singular fasci-
nation in ministering to the wants OF
the dead, in placing over them gar
lands of flowers, nicely arranging their
white faces, and laying their pale
bodies in the last casket."
The old veteran went on portraying
the pleasures of his pursuit, and as he
gave the details of his weird vocation
he grew into an ecstacy not unlike the
reveries of an opium-eater. Continu-
ing, the undertaken said:
Experience has taught me that
familiarity with the dead takes the
sting from the grave. My business
puts death in less terrifying light
than the pictures which the imagin-
alton daaws where the actual is seldom
witnessed. / have put SO many in
their last homes that no longer look
upon death with the old fear. agree
with the man who said: Tired of the
heat and glamour of the day we hear
with Joy the rustling garments of the
night. l look upon every new face
that comes into my quiet sleeping apart
ments over there as one more lucky
traveller who has reached at last his
journeys end.
Does 1t not pain you when the body
Of a life-long friend is brought to your
parlors9"
70, my boy" said the veteran.
With the grewsome manner of the
grave-diggers that prate over Yoricks
skull in Hamlet, = II see that you do
bot understand what | have been tell
ing you. Well, it does not surprise
me, for nobody but an undertaken can
have any idea of an undertaker's
pleasures. OF course, 1 do not like to
have my friends suffer, nor do eniov
having them die. 1t makes the world
lonely and makes tombstones out of
lifelong comrades, but when a friend
ls dead it pleases me very much to give
MN every attention. He becomes nv
guest, and it pains me If any of NV
servants neglect him or do any thing
70 mar his visit. There is, after all. a
quiet pleasure to know that your best
friends do not have to die, that aching
hearts are forever at rest in the ever
lasting sleep"
