EDW ARD BELLAMY
HIS WORK, FEELINGS, CHAR
ACTER AND LIFE.

We have reserved for the last the mos
prominent of the New England Nation
alists, him, in fact, who is the immediate
cause and source of the Nationalist
movement,
EDWARD BELLAMY.
1t has been often said, and none more
than Bellamy himself has insisted upon
it, that the phenomenal sale of his book
Looking Backward, is due to the fact
that the conditions are ripe for the
reception of its ideas. While this is
true to such an extent that the state
ment of it by Bellamy in his answer to
a supercilious attack from Gen. Francis
A. Walker was sufficient to quite knock
the bottom from under the latter, yet
it does not follow that the book is lack
ing in such intrinsic merit as would at
any time entitle it to distinction. The
capitalist and the ignorant have cried
out "Utopia,' and quoted probably
from cyclop@dias) the great social
dreams from Plato's "Republc' down to
"Reise mach Icarien," as the lineal
ancestor of Looking Back ward. Yet
the work, SO far from being whimsical,
shows that its author has drunk deep at
the fountain of the philosophy of evolu-
ton, That, however, which it has in com
mon with the "Utopias" is its profound
altruistic sentiment; and herein it re-
veal8 one of the greatest characteristics
that distinguish its author from most
of our modern radical thinkers and
writers.

Julian Ralph tells n story of an En-
glishInnn's trial for wife beating. Hi
wife was in court with her eye bound
up in a bandage very much stained
with blood. Tho magistrate was very
stern in his speech 10 the wife beaten
With fine effect of well chosen words,
and with scorn and loathing in his
tone. he asked the wretch how he
could strike a woman, and that woman
the one he had sworn to protect. The
name in which the man received
this was ludicrous. He listened to the
court with panied surprise. why,
your ludship," said he. I've lived with
that woman fifteen year, and this is
the first time I've drawed blood on
her" Tho magistrate had a strong
sense Of hunor. and will tell that story
many n year. but on the beach he
heard the retort with apparent grave
%displeasure. San Francisco Arsonaut.

A good story is told of Baron Roths-
Child, Of Paris, who, as is well known.
possesses almost fabulous wealth. Hav.
ing occasion to enter an omnibus in a
fit of abstraction he was about going
away without paying. The driver
stopped him and demanded his fare.
Rothschild felt in his pocket, but he
had not n copper in change. The
driver was very wroth.

AMERICAN eoLp PIECES.

FAvorites in Australia
DO you know" said Jimmy Ryan,
who, you nre aware, has eneircled the
globe in his travels, that our Ameri-
can twenty dollar gold piece, or the
double eagle, rs they call It in merry
England, Is the finest specimen in the
numismatic line l have ever seen in my
travelsl have handled in a CONNER
cial way the coins of every country on
this broad earth, l believe, with the ex-
ception. perhaps, Of China, and they
don't have coins there.
But in my opinion the American
twenty dollar gold piece Is out of sight

ness and wearing qualities No n un-
dertands this, mark you, better than

In Australia, but II you were to offer

II suppose the reason they like our
gold in Australia is because of its hard
ness OF course the percentage of alloy
in the two coins is about the same, /
judge; but Australian gold is lighter in
color than ours and softer, and for that
reason il wears out quicker. The golden
coin of England makes me very tired.
Their sovereign isn't half as handsome
as our ive-dollar piece, and they
haven't got anything In the kingdom
that can at all compare with our TWEEN
ty-dollar piece. At Least II they have
anything over there l didn't get my
fingers on it. They call their gold co
lonial, which means, you understand,
that it comes from Australia. In silver
coinage, however, l must admit that
England give us points.

equivalent of fifty cents, is as pretty

When the western farmer goes out to
call his pigs-in that part Of the coun
try the animals sometimes wander a
long way from home-he generally is
not content with calling "Pigl pigI"-
n sound which could not be heard very
far-but develops it into a shout by
pronouncing it "Poo-igl poo-igl" The
necessity Of producing a sound that
will carry" seems to explain this: but
one of The Boston transcripts CORE

from poor pig" and that he has often
heard the call pronounced in that way.
