Queer Judicial Utterances.

1t was an English justice OF the high
court to whom, in former days, was attrb-
uted the famous eXordium of charge to a
jury in case of larceny: For forty CEN
turtles the thunders of Sinai have echoed
through the world. Thou shalt not steal.'
This is also a principle of the common
law and rule in equity" When Swift
and Pope made their celebrated excursion
into the art of sinking into poetry, they
never contrived any pathOs more perfect or
complete than this.
Almost as delightful, though expressed
without the same literary skill, is the SEN
tence OF president of a court martial "Pris-
'oner, not only have you committed murder,
but you have run a bayOnet through the
breeches of one of her majesty's uniforms. :"
Perhaps however, the best of all such
judicial utterances is that ascrbed to a
rural justice of the peace: Prisoner, a

Modern Literary CHANGES

The aspirant for literary honors with
pecuniary remuneration should remember
that the most famous names in the literary
guild earned their money for the most part
in other than literary ways. Byrant was
an editor and publisher. Longfellow and
Holmes and Lowell were Harvard profess
sors. Emerson and Bayard Taylor were
lecturers, and Taylor was Tribune"
editor. Curtis and Stoddard depend upon
editorial salaries; Stedman Is a broker, and
Halleck was John Jacob Astor's private
secretary. Aud one might go farther with
this list. Whittier began az an editor, and
only in middle life attempted to lean upon
literature alone for support, which his
early savings aud simple habits made pos
sible. It was always Lougfellow's advice
to young men who wished to be literary to
have first, and mainly, vocation indepen-
dent of the finer muse. If a young writer
thinks he possesses genius he may, of
course, experiment with it; but it will serve
his purse and peace of mind better to secure
some source of labor and income that is
more philistine and worldly. and ride his
Pegasus only at inspired intervals. For it
| is fact, 10 spite of the occasional big fig
| ures that are given as the results of literary
work, pure and simple, that the men who
prosper or have prospered by that alone,
are only. at any one time, few dozen in
number among our sixty-fve millions of
people. e.-Ladies' Home Journal.

Senator German Speaks.

"We are in the midst of campaign. fal.

as far reaching as if you were in a war.
The rights of freemen are at stake. The
republican party first came into power
through divided democracy, and they
were kept in power through the force of a
standing army. At the back of President
Grant were his old followers, and no man
since Washington was stronger than he.
But the North rebelled. In 1879 the dem
ocrats were victorious, but the rape of three
States followed. Then the republican par
" oegan to tell the people that the eles-
tions we're unfair. Then came 1884. The
democratic party, with nothing to rely up
on but patriotism of the people, entered
upon remarkable campaign. Behind the
party in power were the corporations who
had seized millions and millions of dollars
worth of public lands and men who were
looking to increased profits through an in
creased tariff. But there was an honest
man, though partisan, in the White House.
President Arthur assured me that the elec-
tions should be fair in Ohio. Well, we
know the story. We won. It is wonder
ful that Grover Cleveland, considering his
responsibility and his inexperience, did so
well in the Presidents chair. Secretary
Mccullough had said the republicans sys
tenn of financiering bad brought the f.
nances to silver basis, and that the credit
was destroyed. In one year Grover Cieve-
land and his able Secretary of the Treas
ury, Manning, had placed the finances M.
on sound basis, and one hundred millions
of dollars had been stored up in the treas
uIy. Six months after Mr.. Cleveland had
become President all the agents of the rail-
roads and corporations, who bad gained
hundreds of millions of dollars by legisla-
tion, and who had been peerinz into the
departments to see what would be done,
had completely disappeared. Then the re-
publican party again began to cry unfair
elections. A sectional feeling was aroused,
and major-generals of the Southern Confed
eracy we're said to be shaping legislation
for the whole country. Regret it as we
may, the appeals had tPeir effect. Added
to this Influence was the money of men who
had made fortunes out of the tariff and who
were still not Satisfied. They poured out
their money like water. The odds in 1888
against us were too great. Our flag went
down as the blocks of five marched to the
polls. The republicans came into power
in every branch of the government. Then
at their headquarters came the manufactur.
ers, who said: "We contributed our mil
lions to elect this Congress and this Presi.
dent, and we want tariff by which we can
get back our money with 10 per cent. inter.

A Great Crowd at a Funeral.
MEMBERS oF THE SALVATION ARMY HOMO
THE MEMORY OF THEIR CHIEFS WIFE.

MEMBERS oF THE SALVATION ARMY HONOR
| THE MEMORY OF THEIR CHIEFS WIFE.
LONDON Oct. 14.-The funeral of Mrs.
| Catherine Booth, wife of General Booth,
who was known as the "Mother of the
Salvation Army" took place to day, and
was made the occasion of great demon
| stration by that organization. The weather
was exceedingly disagreeable, murky fog
envelopiag the city, but despite this thou-
sands Of persons assembled in the streets to
witness the funeral procession. The route
from the Thames embankment, where the
army mustered, to Abney Park Cemetery,
where the remains were inferred, lay
through the densely populated district Of
Stoke Newington. The entire route was
lined with immense crowds of spectators
and the windows of the houses were
thronged by the occupants and their
friends, all anxious to witness the last de-
monstration of love and respect paid to
their leader by the devoted members of the
Army. All the railways entering London
ran excursion trains, and the throng in the
city was augmented by immense numbers
of Salvationists and their friends from the
provinces. There was also large at
tendance from foreign countries. The
members of the army, attired in their III +
forms and wearing white badge Of
mourning, were everywhere conspicuous in
the crowded streets. The crowds on this
occasion surpassed in point of numbers
those which gather to witness the show on
lord mayors day. The demonstration was
convincing proof to the public that the
Salvation Army wields powerful influence
throughout the country.
The remains of Mrs. Booth were taken
from Olympia during the night and con-
veyed to the headquarters of the army in
Queen Victoria street. Here the coffin was
placed upon kind of gun carriage, on
which were also placed the deceased'f bon
net and Bible.
When the procession had been formed
to-day the guu-carriage was drawn into
position in the line. The members of the
Booth family then took their places, and
the procession started from the embank-
ment. There were fifteen bands in the
line. All those who took part in the pro-
cession were officers of the army, the
privates and their friends not being allowed
to march.
Thousands of persons entered the ceme-
terry to witness the last rites. The gloomi-
ness of the scene was added to by the
dense fog, which never once lifted during
the whole proceedings. When the process
sion had entered the cemetery the gum
carriage was drawn beside the open grave
and the cofiu was removed by officers of
the army and tenderly lowered into the
earth.
Gen. Booth stood at the head of the
grave and read the burial service. Officers
of the army from various parts of England,
the British colonies, America, the CONT.
nent and Asia delivered oratiops.
