A Story of a w hale.


We have received the following letter
fromAdelaide from DR.. Warrington Caffyn.
L send you an instance of pluck on the
part of whale. AS far as can learn it
is the rarest thing for whale not to fear
steamer On the morning of July II, in
latitude AZ south, longitude Is east, Capt.
Hepworth, r. N. R., of the steamship
Adelaide, was taking his sights, when he
noticed a large sperm whale alOn gside, so
close that his spouting wetted the deck.
The creature had evidently lost his
school and mistaken us for one Of his
own species He remained with Us for
four days and nights and travelled 800
nautical or 1925 statute miles without a
rest anu as far as one could gather without
food He was never more than seventy
yards away and for the most part close
against the ship, under her quarter, where
the draught made swimming easier for
him. The length of the animal was
about forty-seven feet. The first day he
was very lively, diving frequently beneath
the ships bottom, on one occasion scratch
ing himself severely. After that he kept
close alongside like tired newfoundland
dog. When he did come up the children
amused themselves by throwing potatoes
into his blow holes which We're elected
again with great force. If this monstrous
mammal (who appears tc have been for
gotten when the rest were given legs) has
any capacity for sorrow 1t must have been
a pathetic moment for him when at last
after his gallant struggle to stay with US
he had TO throw up the sponge and re-
main alone in the center of the Indian

Horace Greeley.

When all exceptions are made and all
weaknesses. foIlies, faults, mistakes, and
shortcomings are allowed. undoubtedly
Horace Greeley remains the prominent
and characteristic figure among American
editors.
The great journal that he founded and
| stamped with his genius was well named
the Tribune, for he was himself essential
ly tribune of the people. He spoke daily
to a hundred thousand intelligent hearers
for the popular American science, charac-
err and impulse with a trenchant force
| and a transparent sincerity which pro-
duced throughout the free states person
al affection and confidence before unknown
between newspaper editor and reader
The value of his work and of his character
combined, at the time and in the place of
his chief activity, can hardly be exagger-
ated. At the very moment when New
York permitted Isaiah Rynders to mob
The abolitionists, Horace Greeley was
abolitionizing New York. In the great
mart of trade, timid, short-sighted, i'm
patient OF agitation. sunken in the stupor
of commercial conversion, Horace Gree
ley was as bold and defiant and prophetic
a figure as Charles Sumner in the slavery
ridden senate of the United States He
deserves his statue, and New York will
be safe so long as its lesson is needed

WISCONSIN

THE French people and the Comte de
Paris and his fellow royalists will hear
with deep sense of relief that Don Car
los has abandoned his claims to the throne
of France. The reason that he gives for
this course of action is that he wishes to
devote his undivided attention to enfor-
cling his right to the Spanish throne Don
Carlos is wise thus to look after one throne
at time. The hope of being some time
able to sit on the throne of Spain is about
all that one poor, faded remnant of roy
ality ought to stagger under.
IT would be difficult to exaggerate the
horror of the powdermill explosions in
Wilmington. The terrific power of the
explosives is shown by the character of the
disaster. A wide extent of territory dew
astated, FIVE hundred people made home
less, many lives lost and score of people
injured, tell the sad story. That many in
a second of time blown into a hundred
fragments that will never be found, add to
the frightfulness of the affair. General
sympathy will go out to the little conamun-
ity that has been thus afflicted,
HELEN H. GARDENER is doing much
good in writing stories and stating facts
well calculated to make men and WON en-
think. In a recent paper she calls atten-
ton to the fact that Kemmeler's father
and mother were butchers by trade, while
the same was also true of the parents of
Jesse Pomeroy, the youthful murderer,
who from infancy took such fendish de-
light ii torturing and killing animals.
How little heed is paid to the law of hered-
ity and the atmosphere in which a
child lives while his taste and habits of
thought are taking expression. 1t is a
long way from barbarism to true civiliza-
tiOu.
DESPITE the oft-repeated statement that
1.-The rich are growing richer and the poor
poorer" the facts In some cases are The
other way. In England pauperism has
greatly decreased, not only relatively, but
actually In 1882 England had popula-
ton of Ia 900 900, of whom | 200, 900 were
paupers. In 1888 the population had just
doubled 900, 000-but the paupers
numbered SOC, 1000, a decrease of one-third.
The fact is that not only is England grow
ing in aggregate wealth, but that natural
causes are tending to It's more general and
equabe distribution than ever before.
The question of the cons titutlonnllty OF
Reeds quorum counting is on It's way to
he supreme court. 1t takes the form of
an appeal by some importers of worsteds
from a decision under the law classifying
worsteds as woolens This law was
passed by counting quorum, and the
duties since assessed under it have been
under protest. The matter has been de-
cided by the custom-house officials against
the importers, and has been reviewed by
the board of general appraisers, one of
whom, Judge Sumerville, has prepared the
opinion of the board This opinion fully
sustains Speaker Reed, cites authorities
in his favor, and of course affirms the con-
stitutionality of the law in question. This
is but the first step in the litigation which
involves millions of dollars, and will end
only with the decision of the supreme
court

King George and the Piano.

The King of Greece was fearfully bored,
when at AK, by the sets made at him by
professional beauties who had not the
talent to conceal their art, writes cor
respondent of the London Truth One of
them hired the fiat near his lodging and a
piano. Her musical education was neg
ected. But she knew how to play the
Greek hymn. Whenever his majesty re-
turned from the baths she struck it up.
If there is an air the king hates more
than another it is that one. He has had
to listen to it many times every day at
Athens for twenty-seven years. When
ever he goes to casino, concert or opera,
the orchestra gives him several bars. In
short, it is to him so fearfully hackneyed
that it CRATES on his nerves if, when it is
being played he cannot think of something
else, and thus shut it out from his ears.
But the professional beauty stumbled, and
so got involved in false notes that be could
not be leaf to her the performance. He
lost his temper over and over again. and
sent message after message to the landlord
to beg that he would silence her piano
forte. This the landlord feared to do, as
the lady spent money far more freely than
the potentate, and drew to the hotel rich
fools, who paid for poor champagne as
though it were Widow Ciquot's best
The affair was arranged by Greek from
Marseilles making the acquaintance of the
lady, and confding to her some of his
majesty's defects. One of them was a
born hatred for music, which he thought
Nose, and the other hate for frumpish
German women. who never painted, kept
quiet, and had not a soul above knitting
and darning stockings. The beauty
changed her tactics accordingly His
majesty was no longer bored by the Greek
air, and | should not wonder if he sent
an order to the diplomatic person who in
duced his fair neighbor to shut up her
piano.
