SHE TALKED.

She talked of Cosmos and of Cause,
And wove green elephants in gauze, -
And while she frescoed earthen jugs
Her tongue would never pause;
On sages wise and esoteric,
And bards from Wendell Holmes to Her.
rick
Thro' times proud Pantheon she walked,
And talked and talked and talked and
talked!
And while she talked, she would crochet,
And make all kinds of macrame
Or paint green bobolinks upon
Her mothers earthen tray;
She'd decorate smelling bottle,
While she conversed on Aristotle;
While fame's proud favorites round her
flocked,
She talked and talked and talked and
talked
She talked and made embroidered rugs,
She talked and painted lasses jugs,
And worked five sea green turtle doves
On papa's shaving mugs;
With Emerson or Epictetus,
Plato or Kant, she used to greet us;
She talked until we all were shocked,
And talked and talked and talked and
talked
She had lover, and he told
The story that is never old,
While she her fathers bootjack worked
A lovely green and gold.
She switched off on Theocritus;
And talked about Democritus;
While she his ardent passion baked,
And talked and talked and talked and
talked!
He begged her to become his own;
She talked of ether and ozone,
And painted yellow poodles on
Her brothers razor hone;
Then talked of Noah and Nebuchadnezzar,
And Timon and Tiglath-pileser-
While he at her heart portals knocked,
She talked and talked and talked and
talked!
He bent in loves tempestuous gale,
She talked of strata and Of shale,
And worked magnetic poppies on
Her mothers water pail;
And while he talked of passions power,
She amplified on Schopenhauer-
A pistol flashed; he's dead; unshocked,
She talked and talked and talked and
talked!

Professor Richards, of Yale College,
has made study of the records of 2425
students in order to determine, if possible,
Nhe relations of athletics in Yale to
scholarship. The general result is that
the athletes fall slightly behind the nom
athletes in scholarship, but not so much
as to demand a suppression of those
exercises. In some branches of athletic
exercises the students who engage in the
sports are above the average of non
athletes in scholarship.

An Englishman contributes to a recent
issue of the S. James Gazette an extraor-

qualities of the American. He declares
that there was no real fighting in our
Civil War, and that at any time during
the first two years a well equipped divis-
ion of 10000 disciplined troops could
have cleaned out either side within three
months But when he gets down to the
probable results of war between the
United States and a European power,
saws the San Francisco Chronicle, he is
most amazing. 'lIe figures out that if a
war did not result in the South seiziug

and three hundred men men are
thrown out Of en- ployment
The Republican Administration
is not keeping the pledges Of its
platform OF 1883 when it allows u
Secretary OF the Treasury to strike
such blows at the industries of the
West. TIE West has stood shoulder
to shoulder with the party, but the
day OF revolt will come II the party
continues to ignore our material
interests. II the platform meant
the sort of protection it is now Civ
ing us, why did not the plank read
in plain English:
We are heartily in favor of Home
Protection-for everything manu-
featured or produced East OF the
Missouri river.
Window is Ineligible to the office
OF Secretary of the Treasury any
how, as the law makes any citizen
engaged in foreign commerce ineli-
glble to the office of Secretary OF
the Treasury. This law was pulled
on Alexander Stewart in Grants
administration and the Senate re-
fused to confirm him. Window is
a stockholde- and a director on
railroad running through Mexico
ana engaged in foreign commerce.
Secretary Window ought to 90.
The only way to secure recogni-
ton for the West, is to unite with

we can hold out solidly against any
Presidential nominee who will not
give us a voice in the selection Of a

A Montana paper says that each
of the four hundred of the Ana
conda employees, when they pre-
sented themselves to vote on cleo
ton day, handed to the judges OF
election a slip on which was printed
the following:
| cannot read or write the Eng
lish language, and | wish to vote
the straight Democratic ticket.
The Australian ballot system pro-
vides that where person cannot
read or write English, he may have
his ballot prepared for him by the
Judges. After presenting a card to
the effect that they could not read
or write, it was quite superfuous
for them to state anything about
the ticket they wanted to vote.

THE SUPREME COURT.

s.The greatest judicial tribunal
in the world" yesterday convened
In Washington for the season Of
1889 90.
There is truth in that appella-
ton. The Supreme Court OF the
United States WELD the power to
enlarge or restrict the prerogatives
oil the President or Congress. 1t
may extend or curtail either Federal
or State sovereignty. 1t may
modify the frame of government.
This all comes from it function OF
Interpreting the Constitution OF the
United States.
Take the Nagls case which Will
come before the Court this session.
1t involves a quest on of far reach
ing importance. The effect OF the
decision may be to push the domain
OF national into that OF State SOW
ereignity. 1t is for the Supreme
Court to decide this question, and
from its decision there is no appeal
except to the power OF amending
the Constitution
No other judicial tribunal in the
world has such a power.
The Court opens with a vacant
seat on the Bench. That suggests
to President Harrison an important
duty to be performed as soon as
the Senate Is IN session.
1t opens with CALENDER which
it will take three years to go
through. That involves delay
which amounts to practical denial
of Justice. The remedy tor this
evil is with Congress. To provide
it will be one of the most import
ant duties which will dissolve upon
that body the coming session.-N.

OF the secretary's Geographic instruction

Mr.. Bayard informs Minister Pendleton

laration of war against Matuafa and has
accompanied the notification with the
statement that Germany would of course
abide by the agreements with America and
England touching Samoa, and preserve
under all circumstances the rights of this
government established by treaty. But,
in view Of the advices from Apa, MIR Bay

officials in Samoa would beinstructed care

Rudolph Shot Himself.

It is officially announced that Crown
Prince Rudolra committed suicide by
shooting himself in the heal. The weapon
used was II revolver
The prince remained in solitude for few
days before his death which adds to the
mystery of his death Hc sat for por-
trait few days before and insisted that il
should be finished by Feb. |, though giving
no reason for the demand.
The Wiener Zeitung says: Prof. Weder-
hofer, who performed the autopsy on the
remains OF Crown Prince Rudolph, found a
large wound in the side OF the head, which
must have caused instant death The re-
volver. with one chamber discharged, was
found on the bedside, close to the right
hand of the dead prince. The position in
which it was found proves beyond doubt
that the crown prince committed suicide.
The report OF the revolver was heard by
no one. Members OF the crown princess en-
tourage state that during the last few
weeks the crown prince had manifested
signs Of morbid nervous excitement Sons
time previous TO his death, the crows
prince complained of headaches. which
were attributed TO an injury TO the head
which he sustained by a fall from a horse
last autumn.
