The End Of q Romance.

The death OF Thos. +. Murphy at the
Carney Hospital. Boston, last month
closes a romance Of real life which has
rarely been equalled except in novels.
1t was his marriage in 1870 with Lady
Blanche Elizabeth Mary Annunciata.
daughter of. The proud Earl Of Gains
borough, and granddaughter OF. the
seventeenth Earl of Enrol. that first
brought his name into prominence, and
made him the hero in a tragedy Of real
life. Lady Blanche was brought up In
the luxury belonging to one of Eng
lands prOudest peers, but she forsook
wealth, station and home for loves
sake, and died in exile in a strange
land. She was the first born Of the Earl
OF Gains borough, and was most beau
tiful woman. Young Murphy was
organist III the private chapel of the
Earl of Gains borough, ana was depend
ent upon his slender income from that
source. He was handsome and accom-
plished, and easily won Lady Blanche's
love while instructing her in music.
In September on the Earl Of Gains
IborOugh's estate, as the annual harvest
festival was celebrated, he sat at the
table for hours with his tenants and
neighbors. LADY Blanche had fixed on
this time of festivity to fiY to London.
The lovers were found on the eve Of
their marriage. and the Earl offered the
organista handsome annuity if he would
leave Her Lad Yship and go to the cont
nent. i55
This offer Murphy declined. and his
wife told her father that If her afianced
had consented she would have entered
a vonvent.
They were married by priest Of the
Westminster diocese Lady Blanc he's
father held ID trust for his daughter
several thousand pounds, bequeathed to
her BY her aunt but she was too proud
to ask for it.
Y Dung Murphy took his bride to Lon
don, but soon came to America. They
reached New York penniless. apd
several weeks were on the verge Of star
5yation. Then. thrOug d the influence Of
some Catholic clergymen, Murphy was
made organist at st. James Church,
and later secured q better position at
the Church Of the Holy Innocents.

He IS 9 Great OYnic.

The politician is supposed to be q
patriot. When we say that all men
should be politicians, we mean, of
course, that all men should be patriots.
But. happily, allmen are not politicians.
1nthe profe ss;onal sense; this politician,
small or great, is 3 parasite, not pa
triot. Men in politics who are patriots
ARE ashamed to class themselves s&mong
politicians. s -
The politician looks on morality and
the public good and the public honor as
the gambler looks on his cards. Econ
omy in public life is a phrase he is fond
of-he means. naturally, that the oppo-
site party should economize. He looks
on '.emoluments " to be obtained from
the public treasury as smugglers do on
the goods thev save from the clutches
Of the custom house officers. A mem
Der of rival party may steal from the
public, but the laws against such steal
ing become penal when they are applied
to. him; that is, he regards them as
penal, ii he can evade them, he is a
successful man; if he IS caught by the
agents OF the law, he is q martyr in his
own eyes.
The politician has his own code OF
morality, and the first axiom Of this
code is that every man has his price.
"a poor man." he will tell you. cannot
afford to 60 into politics. He sneers
1t the opinion that the people rule.
/ Every ten years they are wrought up,
by some revelation of political corrup-
zion, into an assertion of their rights,
he says; but for the next ten years they
are quiescent. During the next ten
years the politician manipnlates the
primaries, = and throws dust into the
eyes Of the public as well as he can.
There is no greater cynic in America
than the politician. He believes that
most OF his fellow, citizens were born to
be fooled. See HIM at a church fair on

Gladstone Immortalized.

Among the many services which Mr..
Gladstone has rendered to his country
and his kind is now to be reckoned the
giving Of his name to the language.
This service, however. is involuntary
on his part, for he had no more control
over the introduction Of his patroDymic
into the language than had Captain
Boycott. The third volume Of the
Century Observation-Disclosures: T. Fisher
Unwin which begins with g and ends
with the last word of the letter L, bears
evidence of the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of
its compiler's energy by taking in the
word ''Gladstone,' and giving it a
settled place in the language. Glad
stone, we are told, is noun, and means,
first. a roomy, four wheeled. pleasure
carriage, and, secondly, an English
travelling bag or portmanteau named in
compliment to William E. Gladstone.
Then we have Gladstonian, which sig
mites ANYTHING pertaining to the
'::Engl.sh statement, William 3. Glad
stone,' and, further, "a follower or an
''admirer of Gladstone. specifically, in
. British politics, member of that wing
''of the Liberal party which in 1885 and
succeeding years supported Gladstone's
efforts in behalf Of home rule for
Ireland We are not disposed to find
fault with work of such great literary
value as the Century Lexicon. and
which having regard to its size and
completeness, is coming out with re-
markable rapidity; but it is a trifie
absurd to speak of the followers Of Mr.
Gladstone as that wing' Of the Liberal
party. If they are only the wing, where
is the party? Is it the dWindling Har
tingtonian tail, or that curious product
of the Liberal schism, the family party
whose temple is in Birmingham. aud
whose deity is Mr.. Chamberlain? We
all remember how tie first OF the lex
icographers dealt with the title Of his
political opponents when he came to
define it IN his dictionary. and we
should be sorry to find DR.. Nv hitney
whose patience and research are re-.
ceiying a monumental tribute in the
work now before us-leaving himself
open to a charge Of foolish partlzan ship
Of that sort. That wing Of the
Liberal Party as 8 description Of the;
Liberals Of ito. day, is SO obviously abb
surd that we are quite willing to believe
that lts intro duction into the CenturY
Lexicon was 9 slip. Aud, indeed, il IS

SID0rtAn Sociology.

Every student of history knows that
the Spartans worshiped the beautiful
and the useful, and that they took the
means to get them. Bodily perfection
and mental activity were attained by
we'll appointed exercise and healthy pa
rents. The sickly and the constitutionally
diseased were not allowed to marry: the
healthy were punished if they did not
marry. Men that were unmarried after
a certain age were excluded from the
society Of women, and once n year were
exhibited in public rs a warning to other
and younger men. Young men and
young women were not allowed TO marry
before they had attained maturity Or cut
loose from parental leading strings. This
Spartan system. which was purely for
the welfare of the state. was in force for
500 years, and no Drawer nor stronger
men. no more healthy nor moro bcauti
full women. were ever seen than in old
Sparta Few would wish to see Spartan
ism revived in these days. but We may
learn some valuable lessons from that
ancient state.
We may also learn something from
our newly born sister republic, Brazil,
where there is Il remarkable and self inn
posed family custom in regard to mar
riages in the higher classes. The man
about to marry is required to furnish n
certificate from one or more physicians
that he is free from diseases of Il certain
class, and that he is free also from all
signs of any Of the diseases that are
transnissible to the offspring, and fur,
Their than this. the physicians must tes'
tify that 80 far as they can learn there is
no reason to believe that the marriage
will be otherwise than in accord with
sanitary laws. We, as u people, are
taking more interest in the proper kinds
Of physical culture than before. Oul
women are coming to know that they
can dress just as well without distortinl
their bodies and imperiling their health
But the day OF the truly sanitary mar
riage is long wav off. Meanwhile {
great many people are getting married
that should remain singlc.-Chcagt

pretty much the same: The poor
thing, unable to get employment, is
at last compelled to take t" the streets
and alleys where death finally ends
her sufferings.
Such occurrences are q disgrace to
humanity, a blot upon civilization,
and calculated to bring discrrdit on
our institutions. Bat, even though
hey may be unavoidable in poor com
muni'ics, they should not be tolerated
in the commercial metropolis of the
western hemisphere. In that city
wealth is so abundant that $25, 900 is
no unusual sum for one of the
''selec," families to spend in an
evenings entertainment.
It has, besides, Board Of Charities
and Correction whose expenditures
amount to millions Of dollars annually,
and whose business it should be to
hnd out and relieve just such cases
AS those referred to.
The resources of that Board are, it
seems to US, ample to cope with the
evil; and as it fails to do so, the sup.
position that its income is not appl-d
as it should Re, and that, therefore,
u considerable proportion of it finds
its way into channels not strictly
within the scope OF its legitimate
duties, is justified.
The New York daily newspaper
men are constantly OH the watch for
'sensations." The TIMES is of the
opinion that in this ma.ter-in as
pertaining the disposition Of the funds
referred to, with the view of sug-
costing better application or more
useful distribution Of them-they
would end a lcgi,i sensation that
would not only prove = source Of
pec"ni.ry profit but that would be in
the line OF the discharge of the high
est, noblest duties Of journalists.

HAY For Fuel.

An Eastern exchange mentions that
hay has been successfully used for
fuel. Apackage Of twenty FIVE pounds
costing less than FIVE cents-pressed
into a solid mass furnishes sufficient
fuel for family for twenty four hours
and gives a greater degree Of heat
than either coal or wood.

THE DUST.BURNERS SHOULD III
IMPROVED.

On the run between Cheyenne and
Laramie, on tho Union Pacific Rail.
way, locomotives known as "dust-
burners" arc used. These locomo-
tives combine the two essentials OF
strength and economy, as each can,
uoassisted, pull one OF the heaviest
passenger trains over the road. while
the cost Of fuel Is reduced to a mini
mum, As it only consumes coal dust,
which has no market value whatever.
These locomotives are therefore
admirable specimens of machinery;
or, rather, they would be but for one
fatal defect. The engineer aud FIRE
man are separated, SO that one can
neither see nor speak to the other
while the train is in motion. There
are two cabs on the locomotive-one
on top and about the center Of the
long boiler; the other at the usual
place. The engineer occupies the
cab on top Of the boiler. He is
cranped up there, and can scarcely
move, as he has hardly two square
feet OF space to stand in. He can
not jump from one side to the other,
to look ou, for signals or Instructions
on the track; neither can he, in case
Of Necessity, call upon the fireman to
watch the levers or track, If only for
a minute or SO; because, as above
stated, the one can neither see nor
speak with the olh r, IS there is no
possible wav of communication be.
tween the two except by climbing
down from the engine and walking
on the ground from one cab to the
other.
The mere thought Of the calamities
rendered possible by the use Of these
locomotives, is enough to make even
n strong man shud'er. The engineer
might be unable to see y signal. q
broken rail, misplaced switch, a
partly opened one, a rotten tie. and
thus ride to destruction at full speed
utterly unconscious Of impending
danger; or he might fall in fit, die
suddenly of hear, disease, or NEE,
with one of the thousand of disabling
or otherwise fatal accidents so com.
mon ia rai'roading; and y't the train
would 60 on, and on, AMI on, without
guiding hand nnti!-what? A mos'
heartrendinx calamity would occur
that might plunge whole communi
ties into mourning.
The idea OF burning coald dust OF
locomotives is to be Endorsed; but i
should be put into practise i'll such I
way IS not to endanger precious live
any more than nxcessary. The cab
on dust. burning locomotives shoul'
be so arranged that there would b.
continuous communication between
the engineer and his assistant. Thi
can doubtless be done without ma
terial addition to the cost Of the 10
como,ives; but it should be done, nj
matter what the expense, and tha
at once.
