The pohteness of the Japanese has long
been proverbial. Whoever comes in con-
tact with them anywhere speaks of their
gentle manners, and in their own coun-
try this trait is much more marked than
when one meets them as isolated individ-
uals away from home. An American
traveller in Japan tells story bearing
upon this point.
This American was from Ohio; he was
captain of gunboat, and thougha brave
and efficient officer, he was somewhat
noted for his sense Of his own import
ance.
He had put in at Japanese port, and
with his officers had been most politely
received by the Japanese authorities. As
the Americans proceeded with their es-
cort through the town the young cap
tain was very much pleased to see that
every one whom they met bowed pro-
foundry; but what was the soft, three
syllabled word that they uttered with
this graceful salute?
The captain did not understand the
Japanese language OF Japanese urbanity.
He did not know that it was the custom
of the people whenever they passed
stranger to salute him with an inclina-
ton of the head. Nor did he know that
the Japanese "How do you do?" or "How
are your is contained in one word,
"Ohaye," the pronunciation being, as
nearly as possible, O-y-yo.
Presently one of these polite japanese
townspeople happened to speak louder
than the others, and our captain re-
ceived, as he thought, sudden llumi-
nation. With flush of qualification he
turned to one of his officers and whis-
pered: "How in the world did they hap

into home on an errand Of this nature.
Staying him under most circumstances
would be perfectly justifable even in the
eyes of the law. And in the eyes of the
juror it would require extraordinary cir
cumstances indeed to make you liable to
punishment.
Besides, if convicted for burglary, the
punishment is extremely severe; in some
states and under some statutes the death
penalty may be given.

A Politicians story.

A lot of us organized hunt for wolves
In one of the northwest sections. One of
the organization was a Chicago alder
man. In our hunt the parties to it neces-
sarily became divided. One of the num-
Der, the alderman, was alone when he
heard the hungry howl of wolves. He
struck for the timber. He climbed the
first tree which presented itself. He had
scarcely gotten hold of limb when the
wolves were beneath. The animals held
a consultation, on the result of which the
Oldest wolf in the pack was delegated to
climb the tree. AS he began the journey
the alderman took off his hat and threw
it in the VOLTS face. The wolf looked at
the alderman. He sized him up, as the
boys say, and turned. When he had
reached the ground he summoned the
other wolves and said to them:
HE belongs to our crowd; he is one ~
us. Let him alone"

Senator WoIcott.

NEW YORK, May 30,-The marriage Of
UnILeu oraTes senator WolcOtt, of Col
orado, is an event to cause his friends
some surprise. He had been long re-
garded as Il confirmed bachelor, as also
his brother, the wealthy Colorado banker
and miner, has been. A good deal has
been written about the romantic and, in
some respects, dramatic career of VOL
colt, and much of it must have surprised
him when he read it.
Although both he and his brother have
known what roughing it means, even to
the last extremity of necessity, yet the
family is one in which culture and re-
n.eraent Prevni1ad. and npon his moth
ers side there was wealth. His maternal
grandfather, Jonathan Pope, was one of
the first to develop cotton manufacture
ing in this country, and amassed for
tune in the business. He has lived for
many years in Norwich, Conn. An un-
Gle, L. w. Carroll, is one of the wealth.
lest and best known business men of east
ern Connecticut. His father was splen-
did specimen of what New England or
thodoxy sometimes does for its adher-
ents, and was for many years one Of the
powers in the Congregational pulpits of
this country. He had very large fami-
ly. The sons were all, like the father,
veritable Sauls; superb in their physical
development and of the fair haired, fine
complexioned type that is associated
with the Saxons. The sons are hand
some men; the daughters beautiful wo-
men of statuesque mold.
Wolcott's father sent him to Yale col
lege, in the class that was graduated in
1870, but he did not graduate. He only
staid a year, but while he was there he
was lively youth. The faculty looked
at him with dubious eyes, but his class
mates made him hero. 1t was said that
at one examination, the class being in
despair over the Euclid papers, fearing
that they would be difficult, Wolcott
undertook to get his classmates out of
the difficulty, and, in ways known best
to himself, managed to get sly peep at
the examination papers before they were
handed to the class. Having done SO
he passed the word along, and SO it
happened that the class did an unprece-
dented thing-it passed perfect exami-
nation; so perfect that the faculty be-
came suspicious, Investigated and dis
covered, and compelled the students to
submit to another examination. From
this Wolcott escaped, as he had by that
time left the college.
He was the nerviest and coolest better
in all the college, maintaining the honor
of his colors with fearlessness, even
wlun his Judgment was against the bet;
and this is a trait that is said to have
afterwards been developed in the wilds
of Colorado and to have given him great
favor among the rough miners.

BACKED Out"

Speaking Of the Russian censorship,
MIR. George KEENAN,, in an article in The
Century, says: "What does the Russian
government hope OF expect to accom-
plish by 'blacIing oUS articles that aim
simply to tell the truth with regard to
Russian affairs, and by throwing into
prison every man in whose possession
such articles may be found?
"The Russian author Prugavin, in a
book that was inadvertently sanctioned
by the press censor, but that wss after
ward seized and burned, asks this same
question, and says: Can an idea be
choked to death? Can thought be killed,
buried, or annihilated? Are not truth,
and love, and justice, and freedom i'm
mortal? 1t is the most terrible of mis-
takes to suppose that ideas can ever be
crushed. People have perished-men
have died in chains and classmates, their
bodies have decayed, their graves have
been lost, and their very names have
been forgotten; but their ideas and aspi-
rations live ON. Washed in the blood of
suffering, such ideas and aspirations
have become the dream Of every man in
whose brain a thought stirs and in whose
breast heart beats
'"The press censor, when he burden
Prugavin's book, thought that he had
destroyed forever its 'pernicious' influ-
ence, but the ideas and aspirations Of
the gifted author live on and his words.
although burned by order of government
in Russia, will appeal to hundreds Of
thousands Of sympathetic hearts in Eng
land and the United States.

the free Russian patriot, no longer blind
ed by the censorship of the press, will
look over the pages Of his national his

public opinion and strange human
thought, and will wish from the bottom

The sweetest notes among the human heart
The sweetest Chords, adjusted by the angels,

we pipe and pipe again sa aUa as stra muse
While sounds Of crime and fear and desolatlon
Come hack again In sad refrains.
On through the world we go, an army marching
Each longing. siShing for the heavenly music
He never hears
Each longing, signing for word OF comfort,
A word of tender praise,
word Of love, to cheer the endless journey
OF earth's hard, busy Gays.
They love us, and we know 1t; this suffices
For reasons share.
Why should they pause to give that love ex-
With gentle care?
why should they pause? But still our hearts
q, ,, with an the gnawlng pain
And longs ana longs In vain.
We love them and we know it; If we falter,
Among the unused strings of loves expression,
The notes are dumb,
We shrink within ourselves In voiceless sor-
row,
Leaving the words unsaid,
And, side by side with those we love the dear
est
Thus on We tread, aud thus each one in silence
His fate fulfls,
waiting and hoping for the heavenly music
Beyond the distant hills.
The only difference OF the love In heaven
From love on earth below
Is: here we love and know not how to tell il,
And there we all shall know.
