TO the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Being Of the many interested followers Of
eie fortunes Of Mrs. Keats Bradford related in
The Sunday Tribune. my attention was attracted to
the discriminating aud apprecative note signed Nan
tucket' In your issue OF November 10. In that note
Nantucket writes, and naturally with reproof, that
Rowens in her lonesome walk to her mothers house
says that the French language only fit for de-
scrbing Illicit amours.' This would indeed have been
a false note and false statement well. On
ferrng to the story find that what Rowena did say
is this "The French language is very effective if you
wish to tell the story Of Illicit amour Yours very

The Influence of Mind ON Mind.


That the influence of mind on mind is
ordinarily imperceptible does not prove
that it can not be universal. These are
we'll gseertainadl material influences which
are Of universal operation, yet too feeble to
be felt; and in some cases theae, even il
more powerful would still be ordinarily
unfelt because they act in many directions
at once, and tend, therefore, to neutralize
one another.
That matter has weight has always been
known, hHt never fiill within the last few
centuries could it have been suspected that,
gravitation being universal, every human
body must exert an influence upon-for it
has an attraction for-every other human
body, however dt!stant-an influence which
would in certain cases be felt if the mass Of
the earth and the inertia of matter were
very greatly less than they are.-Black-

Beating Time by Cable.

How he once cheat time" or rather, ap-
parent time, in remarkable fashion is
told by Mr. Archibald Forbes. It is a
story of Geographic dispatch from the
battlefield. In the early morning of the
ed of November, 1878. British division
under General Sir Samuel Browne occu
pied the Afghan fortress of Ali Musjid, up
in the Khyber Pass. Mr.. Forbes rode
back ten miles to Iumroed, where, the field
telegraph was, and sent the news to Eng
land in short message bearing date 10
a. M.
There is five hours difference of time
between India and England in favor of the
latter, and the London papers containing
this telegram dated 10 a. m. were selling in
Fleet street at a. M, one hour of appar-
emit time before it was dispatched. It's an
ticipation of time, however, did not end
here. Owing to the five hours difference
between the clocks of London and New
York the message was in time for the reg
ular editions of the New York papers thai
same morning.
It was then Immediately wired across the
American continent, and owing again to
the difference in time between the Allan
tic coast and the Pacific slope the early
rising citizen of San Francisco, purchasing
his morning paper at a. M, was able to
read the announcement of an event which
actually occurred over two hours later in
apparent time some $4,000 miles away On
the other side Of the globe.

A Story of Two Cattle Barozss.

One of the stories of the rapid rise and
decline of the COW baron owes authorship
to Colonel Jim Britton. In the days when
Texas had railroad commissionership,
with only ornamental functions. Colonel
Britton was appointed to fill it, While he
was commissioner, Colonel Britton went
out to Abilene The time was the flush
period of the cattlenen. Millionaires were
thick. At one of the Exchanges" of Abb
lene Colonel Britton was a witness to Il
controversy between two of the new mil
lionaires. These cattle barons had just re-
turned from their first trips to New York,
where they had gone to get rid of some of
the profits and to have royal time.
"Jim," said Jake, that's a pretty fine
watch you've got there"
Yes" replied jim; 81 got the ticker of
fellow in New York. It's the finest in

He stood holding the now despised chro-
nometer in his hand and looking at it.
Bracing up after few moments he said:
There amt much difference between 'erl.
But Pll bet can throw mine farther than
you can yours"
Everybody laughed and looked at Jim.
The latter was not to be blufed. Quick as
flash he replied, ''Pll just 60 you one on
that"
The crowd went out into the rocky
street. A scratch was drawn. 1t was
agreed that the man who threw his watch
the farthest should have what was left of
both watches. They threw, and the fellow
who won led the way back into the Elk
change and set up the drinks.

Britton, concluding the narrative, 81 was

Marriage as a Life Preserver.

A certain set of philosophers, incapable
of feeling affection for any one but them
selves, has delighted in sneering at love
and marriage, and has argued that bach
elorhood is the only conservative state,
But their theory is not borne out by the
statistics of married and single life in
modern times, so far at least as the mas
culine gender is concerned. If longevity
is desirable, then it is better that we should
marry than remain bachelors; for it ap-
pears that at every age, from twenty to
eighty-fiye, the death rate of the Benedicts
is very much smaller than that of their
minated brethren.
Gentlemen who prefer short life and a
merry one to prolonged lease of matri-
monial placidity will probably agree in
opinion with the cynical philosophers -

WHERE / WOULD BIZ.

Where buttercups and daisies nod
Along some mountain stream.
Where sunlight smiles through dusky
SHADE
Like faces in dream
Where whispering winds their vespers
say
Mid rustling boughs that droop and
sway.
Where bright leaves wander with the
breeze
And dewy berries grow.
Where modest flowers bloom unseen
And ripping waters glow;
Where smooth worn stones lie cold ana
gray
And robins chant plaintive lay.
Where willow branches gnarled and bent
Do form tempting seat.
Where banks of cool green MOSES spread
carpet for the feet;
Where forest echoes die away
An drowsy roundelay.
Where sweet bird songs are mingling with
The brooklet's mellow tone,
Far away in woodland bowers,
There ! would be alone:
Where care and duties never stray
One long, delightful summer day.
