Boufield and the Chicago ..rimes."

To THE EDTToR-Sir: Your editorial in
this mornings SENTINEL on "Bonfeld and the
Chicago Tines has the true ring. j fully agree
with The SENTINEL that BOnfeld in his fight
with the Times. has at last tackled the wrong
customer" He could lord it over few friend
less foreigners, but to imprison Messrs. West
and Dunlop, of the Times, as he has done, he
will find, to his sorrow, rather an uphill bus-
ness. Bonield is a most contemplate coward,
an assassin of human rights, who shields him
self behind law and order to carry out the more
successfully his nefarious designs. He has no
higher conception of what are the real rights of
a citizen than FIJI Islander.
Bon6eld could conspire with Pinkerton's
thugs and thieves against the Chicago anarch-
lists and even deny Mrs Parsons the right OF
free speech guaranteed TO all under the consti-
tuition, but in his fight with the Chicago Times
he is going to find a foe with weapons too
strong for him TO overcome.
]. for one, think it about time that such brutes
as Bonfeld were invited to step down and out.
There are surely enough honest men in Chicago
who would Eli his place with credit to the city.
Chicago has been disgraced long enough by
him. His presence as an official in that city is
q public shame and scandal.

Then a remembrance came to her Of
such humiliation that her white cheeks
grew red with the shame of it, where she
sat in solitude. She did not know where
to address him; she would have TO inquire
of his land agent where he was.
As she paused, looking at the undi-
rected envelope, meditating whether, to
avoid such confession of ignorance, she
should address it to the English embassy
in Paris, and let it take its chance, the

AMERICAN OVERRIDING.
One Branch of Social Economy That Has
Reached Its Full Development.

One Branch of Social Economy That Has
Reached Its Full Development.
The Americans would seem to have
brought at least one branch of social
economy to its full development, and
that is the art of OVERRIDING. There can
hardly be any lengths to which this can
go which have not already been reached
by our over-eager countrJmen. The
CELEBRITY with which the American peo-
pie are able to-as the popular phrase
Goes-run any thing into the ground is
not only bewildering, but it is disheart'
ening as well. 1t is likely always to
beget the fear that there will not be
things enough left to go round; that it can
not be possible for human invention to
keep up with the destructive demands
of our exhausting race. They are like
children who crowd so eagerly about a
violet that instead of enjoying it they
trample it into tho ground. They seem
never to have learned the old proverb
that too much of good thing is worse
than none.
Most evils have their good side, and
the one benefit of this is that we are as
quickly done with our follies as with
more desirable and legitimate things.
Nowhere in the wide world are delu-
sions so rapidly lived through, and al
though they are generally given up only
to make way for new ones, it is some-
thing of relief to be done with any
given folly. 1t is not without its adj
vantages, moreover, to have whatever is
done done with will, and if nonsense
is to be endured at all it is certainly
more tolerable when it is done with an
air of conviction, such as is one of the
most strongly marked Of American char
acteriStics.
The other side of the picture is, of
course, the running of legitimate and de-
sirable customs by OVERRIDING. No soouer
does fresh idea present itself than the
entire community seems to fall upon it
as a pack of wolves upon lamb, and
straightway it is torn into fragments;
or, to give up figures and speak plain
matter of fact, it is so done and so over.
done that it becomes WEAKNESS and an
abomination Then the reaction sets in
with equal energy, for we get over craze
with the same vigor with which we get
into it. 1t is all to be taken as a part of
the youthful eXuberance of American
character, and doubtless when we are
older we shall to some extent outgrow
it. Meanwhile there is manifestly moth
ing to do but to endure it, and he who
can most philosophically stand and wait
is, of course, the wisest of men.-Boston
Courier

at his door about dawn.

The VAGABoND QUEEN.
Queer Actions of Gooa-Natured, Happy
Go-Lucky Isabella of Spain.

Queer Actions of Gooa-Natured, Happy
Go-Iucky Isabella of Spain.
1t is difficult to understand why the
Spaniards, proud, sensitive people,
should have submitted so long tc a ruler
whom they could not respect; her good
hearted, happy-go-lucky nature seemed
to cast charm over them. Her total
lack OF reticence appealed to them; they
could follow so easily all the workings
of fher mind, whether, with childish petu-
lancy she was reproaching her Minis
ters with betraying her, or confessing
with remorse she had wronged them. IL
her sins were open, so was her repent
ance; year by year, when Holy Week
came round, this woman, who. for the
other fifty-one weeks had been outrag-
ing every law, human and divine,
kneeled in church for the hour together,
and with loud sobs and groans, pro-
claimed her sorrow for the past, her res
olution to make atonement in the future.
Her subjects, seeing her sorrow, sor-
rowed too, and, when Easter Day ar
rived, were as convinced as she was that
new era in her life was at hand. The
Maundy Thursday ceremony never failed
to win for her hearty adherents.
She washed the feet of the beggars
with such manifest zeal; spoke to
them such kindly, loving words; served
them with food as if she thought it u
privilege to do so, and, at the close of
the feast, cleared the table with dex-
terity that showed her heart was in her
work. Her splendid robes-she always
wore full court dress upon these occa-
sions-seemed to enhance the touching
humility of her attitude, and, although
the free-thinking part of the community
scoffed at what they called the Popish
mummery of the whole affair, that was
not the feeling with which the bulk of
the population regarded it, One year,
while she was serving at table, dia-
mond fell from her head-dress on to the
plate of one of the beggars. A dozen
hands were stretched out to restore the
jewel, but the Queen motioned to the
man to keep it, remarking simply: at
has fallen to him by lot" Her gener-
osity was unbounded; it Is not in her
nature to say mo- to beggar; while
the one point upon which she made a
firm stand against her Ministers was in
insisting upon her right to exercise
mercy, and the hardest struggle she
ever had with them was apropos Of a
pardon granted at the request of Restori.
A Queen has many chances of doing
little gracious acts, and Isabella never
failed to seize each one as it came in her
way; not, however, for the sake of win
ming popularity, but simply to follow
the bent of her own nature, which, as
she showed the other day, is still un-
changed, for she of all Paris was the
first to remember that Prado's victim
needed help and comfort.-Gentleman's
Magazine.

The young man did not know what

Neighbors went softly about, casting
looks of sympathy at the young man and
aged widow. There sifted through the
home the smell of Thanksgiving dim

and would be eaten by strangers.
When she could control her weeping
she took Laplace into the awful sanctum
and showed him what was yet her most
precious possession.
He looked at the grizzled face which
had settled all scores with him, and
hoped sincerely that the spirit of John
Thomas would receive forgiveness from
the Maker. But he prayed for himself
that if he should ever be stretched dead
before the woman he loved, she might
believe in him with better belief, might
stroke his hair and adore him with her
eyes and say over and over and over
again: 'My Dear! My own sainted Dear!"

The Grouping of Animals.

1t is remarkable and curious fact,
and one, | suppose, seldom thought of,
that our language has different words
by which we designate the groups of
various animals, and while there are
but few of us who could call the group
name of all the manifold species of
birds and animals which inhabit the
earth, yet how quick one would pick it
up if he was to hear another speak of a
''fiock" of hogs or "band" of birds.
The general accepted terms for the
various groups of animals and birds are
as follows: A herd of swine, skulk of
foxes, pack of wolves, drove of oxen
or cattle, a sounder of hogs troop of
monkeys, a pride of lions, a sleuth of
bears, band of horses, a herd of ponies,
"a covy of partridges, nide of pheasants,
wisp of snipe, school of whales, a
shoal of herrings, run of fish, fight
of doves, muster of peacocks, siege
of herons, q building of rocks, brood of
grouse, a swarm of bees, gnats, flies, ETC.,
a stand of flowers, watch Of nightin-
gales, cast of hawks, flock Of geese,
sheep, goats, etc, bevy of girls, a
galaxy of stars and a crowd of men or
boys.-St. Louis Republic.
