We come now to the Latin dramatists. Plau-
tus and Terence who have transmitted to US
many more pungent sayings than have been
picked out OF the writings Of Cicero. Lucro-
titus. Horace. Virgil. and Ovid. Let US begin
with Plautus. who first noted that " He whom
the gods favor dies In YOUTH" which has been
90 beautifully paraphrased by WORDSWORTH:
Tho good die nrst
And they whose hearts are dry a. summer dust
Burn TO the socket
To Plautus also pertains the discovery that the
unexpected always happens. for he points out
in one OF his plays that Things which you
do not hope happen moro frequently than
things which you do hope" One Is surprised
when one considers the period at which
Terence lourished 1885, 1859 B. c.. to hear him
forestalling the modern complaint Nothing
is said now that has not been said before"
More familiar to us Is another Latin turn OF
the Same thought: Peream Qui ante nos
nostra dirissent. Away with those who
have said our good things before usv It
Is Terence. too. from whom We get Hence
these tears" and who had sufficiently mas
tered the psychology Of the affections to I'M
nounce that The quarres OF lovers are the
renewal Of love-" There Is no reason to be-
Gsvc that Shakespeare had read Terence. and
yet the words In Othello. III 1t were now to die
twere now to be most happy" seem
to have been suggested by the fol-
lowing: Jupiter, now assuredly Is the time
when could readily consent to be slain. lest
life should sully this ecstasy with some dis
aster." 1t appears to have been Terence like
wise who first opined that there is something
mulish In the feminine temperament. u
know" he Gays. the disposition Of women:
when you will they won't: when you won't
they set their hearts upon you Of their own in
clination." No one needs 70 be told that we
owe to Terence the spigrammatc definition OF
the gospel OF sympathy. Il am q man. and
nothing that concerns man do deem mat
ter OF indifference to me-" Ho also affirmed,
long before Cicero quoted tho proverb that
" Rigorous law is often rigorous Injustice"
and it WAS "reminiscences Of Terence twho
himself paraphrased a saying Of Sophocles)
that led the foolhardy Pliny the Elder to de-
clare during the eruption OF Vesuvius, which
cost him his life. that Fortune iavors the
brave" It was Terence lastly. who handed
down to us the maxim, "As many men. 80
many minds"
When ono passes from Terence to Cicero one
is struck with the fact that from all tho lattors
speeches and epistlcs Mr.. Bartlett has been able
pronounced familiar. This is the remark made
in ono Of tho epistes to Atticus. that "While
the sick man has life there il hope" We havo

When all tho snnoyancss and inoonvsnienoes
here enumerated are considered. It 10 hardly to
be wondered at that London citizens dreaded
the thought Of taking walks abroad even In
clenr daylight But the fury OF the elements
and the encounters with carts and chairs were
far from being the worst evils which foot

Such accidents were mainly due to the misera-
bly, inadequate arrangements for lighting
the London streets during the eighteenth
century: indeed. so fardy was the legis-

to account by tho nobility and gentry they do
not seem to have been exempt from the depre-
dations Of footpads, since 1t Ia recorded that In
1928 the Earl Of Harborough's chair was way

were they that six people could easily be &c
commodated within them. and when they con-
tanned that number the driver received IN
extra foe. A Swiss traveller who visited
London early In tho reign OF George IL was
inclined to believe that in respect Of hacks the
English city enjoyed advantages over the
French capital. We may add that the slow
pace at which tho hackney coaches rumbled
along was keenly appreciated BY the highway

their occupants.

why they did not eat cake. We have already

PARIS, July 13.-There was consider
able excitement to-day throughout
Paris caused by the report that Presi-
dent Carnot had been shot. This ru-
NOR proved upon investigation to be un-
true, but there was foundation for the
report. The president was present to-
day at the ceremonies of the official
opening of new thoroughfare, the
Avenue de la Republique, where he re-
ceiYed an enthusiastic welcome. Sud-
denly man. wild-eyed and making in.
sane gestures, forced his way through
the crowd. and pushed past the soldiers
on duty about the spot where the cere-
monies were taking place. This man
rushed up to the carriage in which the
president had driven up to the new ave-
nue. and fired pistol at NJ. CarnOt. As
he did so the man shouted: "Ill prove
that there are more bastiles to be de-
molished."
President Carnot was undoubtedly
alarmed at what appeared a direct at
tempt upon his life, but was unhurt
and soon regained his entire presence
OF mind. The man who fired the shot
was promptly arrested by the police, and
such was the anger of the crowd pres
ent that the officers had the greatest
difficulty in protecting their prisoner
from becoming the victim of the popu-
lar fury which he had excited. As it
was, it required the services of a strong
force of police to escort the man in
safety to the nearest police station.
Upon arrival there the mans eXamina-
tion soon disclosed the fact that he was

The Grand opera house. one of the
most charmingly pretty little theaters
in the country, never since its opening
presented SO pretty an appearance as it
does to-day. Managers Lift and Bixby
have strained every nerve to make the
house a perfect bower of beauty for the
occasion. Graceful folds of red, white
and blue drapery enshroud the prosce-
mum arch, and the boxes are tastefully
hung with flags of the nation. The
foyer and galleries are draped, too, with
gay colOrs and artistic designs, while
the front of the balcony bears the in
sigma of the numerous states repre-
sented. together with the arms of each.
The center of the proscenium arch is
ornamented with an enlarged represen-
tation of the seal of st. Paul, hung on
either side with flags. The spaces to
be occupied by the different delegations
are plainly indicated by cards bearing
the names of the states. The front of
the house is being decorated in most
tasteful manner, and, in fact. the Grand
opera house, within and without, is an

WINoNA, July 13.-E. A. Gerdtzen,
the administrator of the estate of Lena
Weinberg, made find Saturday night
of SIP, 900 in greenbackS in an old box
shaped piano stool. Lena Weinberg
was the housekeeper of the Huff house,
run here by Col. Cockrell for thirty
three years. The stool was one which
had been used in the parlor Of the old
hotel, but had long since been
set aside by the hOusekeeper.
After her tragic death in May,
1889, there was found something
over 200 in gold sewed up between the
double bottoms of three of her trunks.
Heirs did not present themselves for
many months after the find. 1t is con-
jectured that it was she who placed the
money in the stool, which had been
stored away since her death. The old
houSekeeperneyer drew the full amount
of her salary, as she was entrusted with
all funds for hiring and pay
ing the servants, together with
the purchasing of all vegetables,
chickens aud farm produce of the hotel.
it is thought that she reserved small
funds until she had raised these large
amounts. 1t is very probable that Col.
Cockrell will put in claim for the
amount of the find.

Keller appeared before the commiss ion

fore the commission also denied that
they had urged the investigation, but
said that Keller had done great deal of
talking to the governor. When the
commission asked the governor to fur
nish the names of the parties who had
urged him to order the investigation he
gave them the names of these three
members of the last legislature. Judge
Bruener went on the stand this morn

that it is not doubted that the exhibit

bered that the exhibition is likely to

manufacturers are now, or soon may be,

certain they are to become impatient at
the system which loads these wares

The programme for the four days
presents many features for enjoyment,
such as can be offered by but one state
in the Union, and that one Minnesota.
The excursion on Wednesday to Fort
Smelling will furnish a glimpse of as
picturesque an old fort as any lover of
the antique could desire. The crum-
bling battlements surmounting that
tall white cliff, the thicklY wooded hol-
low and the river winding a tortuous
course at its base, the thirty miles of
undulating landscape visible in another
direction, combine to form a bit of
scenery not eXcelled for pastoral
beauty anywhere on earth. The
rest of the journey, by way of
Minnehaha falls, is certainly not
without attractiveneSs to the.editors and
their wives who remember that such
poet as LongfellOw has hallowed the
ground they will tread. Then for those
who love a display of smartness in
manning and equipment there will be
on the same afternoon parade of the
police and fire departments of the CITY,
both the finest possessed by any city of
