ing up the eggs and sending them to town-after
robbing his children of the delicacies which they
have helped to produce, he will tell you that the

has been laid against the farmer; that the town
folk have organized themselves into band to rob
the farmer of his early berries. When the farmer
becomes broader minded. when he becomes less
grasping, his wife may eat early vegetables and
spring chickens.

FoR THE ARKANsAw TRAvK
AMONG HOME AUTHORS.
A chapIet Of Criticism.


Since my first installment of review of John
Greenleaf Whittiers literary handiwork was mailed
for publication In THE ARKANsAw TRAVELLER, a
very remarkable pulpit tribute has been paid to the
broad humanity and liberal theology of the revered
poet.
In Plymouth church, at Brooklyn, n. V, on the
final Sunday in May, of this year of grace and
plenty, Lyman Abbott, doctor Of divinity and
ministerial successor to Henry Ward Beecher, i'm
pressively declared that Gods infinite mercy and
love were not for elect few, because the Creator
OF all chad not ordained either angel, man demon
to eternal death and that, therefore, he (he pas
tor who took this defiant stand against Calvanisic
orthodoxy and its putonian belchings of soul-tor-
menting hame) urged his parishioners to open their
hearts to that nobler religion which is voiced in
Whittiers stanzss, entitled "The Eternal Goodness"
DIR. Abbott's remuneration of a strcter creed has
made much talk. An avalanche of clerical opposi-
ton is probably impending
The radiant dawn of free, untrammeed thought
has ushered in the even more brilliant day of bold
and honest utterance. Mental progression has be-
come the germ of vocal aggression. Truth-siftng
is the order of the better time.
Whittier wrote the poem (Which Dr. Abbott
now makes his frmest pedestal of faith about
twenty-five years ago. 1t is too long to quote

sudden notoriety, to give some of the most en-

have already noted the "many inequalities" of
Whittier in prose and verse. His seven volumes
of Complete Works, show too much of this writer
at various periods when his quill should have lain
idle.

Wadsworth Longfellow, arriving home in Cam
bridge from his usual set visit to Boston, made

1t was, then, just verdict. But, in the prOsaic
later years, this mellowness has passed to natural
sequence of too far advanced maturity. The decay
incident to over ripeness is apparent in the
good mans piping song. His harp, that once
so melodious and inspiriting, has loosened its

ice pitcher coming up the stairway.

The Women of Corsica.

Though as a rule not beautiful, the
young and middle aged are decidedly
handsome, with fine features and mag
nifcent physique. OF course much Of
this is due to their surroundings and the
primitive life still SO universally led.
But these women, with their prominent
features and fine eyes, are literally en-
dowed with sterling qualities. Brave
and faithful, we find them on occasion
developing into heroines of the truest
type Warriors at heart, when circum-
stances require it, they will not be con-
tented to remain on the defensive; and,
being intelligent and reflective, they
have often proved themselves formidable
enemies, strong and loyal friends.
W1thal, they are womanly; cherish a
deep love for their homes and tender
care for their children; are devoted to
husband, offspring and hearth-yet are
ready to sacrifice every thing at the COM
mand of the man they have avowed to
obey. For woman's mission in Corsica
Is definite enough; she is destined to be a
docile wife, to work for her husband.

The Reconstruction Of Russia.

But although much has undoubtedly
been done, much more still remains to
do. ''The way in which you westerns
keep calling out that Russia must re-
form," said a Russian friend to me not
long ago, "reminds me of a saying Of one
Of your own statesmen, that people are
fond of shouting for reform as if It were
an article that could be handed to them
out of the window They seem to for
get that system which has taken gener-
ations to construct and centuries to de-
velop can hardly be demolished and re-
built with one turn of the hand. Russia
is not to be reconstructed in a day, any
more than Rome was built in one."
This is true enough; but the marvel
GUS rapidity with which 80 MANY of Rus
sia's ancient institutions have been over
thrown and replaced by those Of modern
times certainly offers some excuse for
these exalted expectations. Within the
last twenty eight years Russia has abol-
lshed slavery, reorganized her army, re-
vised her tariff, introduced trial by iurv
into her law courts, remodeled her postal
system, decreed and carried out a thor
ough redistribution of land, and taken
at least one or two important stems to-
ward the education of her peasantry and
the support Of her ers.-David Ker

A Very Troublesome Language.

When first the Japanese learned from
the Chinese the use of letters they. with
characteristic ingenuity, adopted con-
tracted forms Of Eforty-sev Chinese
characters to represent the syllables of
their language, and at thesame time with
curious unwisdom adopted cursive forms
of other characters to represent the same
sounds. But, further, to make confusion
worse confounded, they paid their instruc-
tors the compliment of taking o:er bodily
their writing and their literature There
are thus three ways of writing Japanese
(one) with the forty seven contracted
Chinese or Katasana characters; (two)
with the cursive forms of other Chinese
or Hiragana characters; and (three) with
the Chinese characters pure and simple
Every school boy has to learn these three
systems, and his studies are complicated
by the fact that while the first two sys.
TENS are phonetic the third is mainly
ideographic.
But we have not yet reached the end of
the difficulties which surround Japanese
writing For although, as has lust been
said, the Chinese characters are mainly
used geographically, they may at the dis
cretion OF the writer be made to represent
either the mere sounds Of the Chinese
words which they signify or the mere
sounds OF the Japanese words which they
signify. Togive an example-the Chinese
character meaning s'heaven," and pro-
nounced Tien, when occurring in Japanese
text may either be read according to ON
old Chinese pronunciation, Ten, 'sheaven." !"

meaning. Anne, or as simply representing
the sounds of Ten OR Anne, apart from
their meaning. This is much as If our

One of Col. Ineersoll's Dauehters,

Only few weeks ago Miss Eva mger-
soil distinguished herself by an act of
personal bravery that was remarkable,
not alone by reason of having been accom-
panied by q member of the gentler sex.
The young lady is member Of the Society
tor the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
and she takes very deep interest in the
carrying out of the designs with which
the association was formed. One day, as
she sat looking out of the window over
Fifth avenue, she saw, man beating q
poor, shrunken, decrepit old horse at
tached to an ash cart. The young ladys
sympathy was aroused at once, and with
it her indignation. She went out into the
street and asked the driver to abandon
his IL treatment of the unfortunate brute
under his charge. He told her to 90 to
the devil, and as a means of self employ
ment during her journey he continued to
hammer the horse. Miss Ingersoll called
upon a bystander to interfere. The BY
stander refused. She then exhibited her
s. P. G. A. badge. The driver jeered at
her and went on humping the uAfortu-
nate horse
Miss Ingerson seized the bride and was
dragged along the pavements, to the
great astonishment of a lot Of people in
masculine clothing, who looked on and
said nothing. Finally man rushed out
from the sidewalk and stopped the pro-
cession. A policeman approached, the
brutal driver was arrested, and the
wretched old horse was turned over to
the society. The animal was found to be
in such condition of illness that it was
considered necessary to shoot it outright,
and the driver was duly punished for his
cruelty. A good many Fifth avenue
fathers would have shrunk from the pub
icity occasioned by such an act on the
part Of his daughter. Col. Ingerson didn't
He commended this brave and humane
conduct, and so did pretty much every
body who knew about it.-New York
