j A BREACH OF INTERNATIONAL COURTESY
London. April 30.-The Standard
says the appointment Of Mr.. Blaii
was a fragrant breach of information
al courtesy, and Chinas action is
rebuff alike on him and on the
United States government. The
Americans. who have been snubbed
will thank neither the President nol
Mr.. Blair for placing their country
in the wrong. Mr.. Blair has, in his
career said some unpleasant things
about other countries. and it will be
well if his political service can be I
warded in some other way than by
making him minister to foreign
court.

Shor.hs.d Has Q Limit.

There are limits to shorthand.
Every honest stenographer will admit
that no person is able to report the
most rapid speakers or to follow with
accuracy IN argument which consists
of many references to scientific books,
and contains quotations which must DO
accurately recorded. In practice.
wherever a speaker makes use Of
many quotations. particularly Of poetry
or of statistics, the stcnographer is al
ways anxious to be supplied with the
quoted parts. Among tho very best
stenographers the practical impossi-
bility of ono writer being able to re-
cord the most difficult speak ing with
accuracy is SO we'll recognized that in
the most important cases system OF
check notes is always observed so that
points which may DO missed BY one
writer will be caught by another. This
is really not an unusual practice. and
it has been found to be absolutely
essential in many cases.
In shorthand writing there are many
expedients, there are many omissions
o! sounds and letters, 60 that q great
deal Of tho accuracy OF TRANSFERRING
depends upon the intelligence OF the
transcriber. There are comparatively
few words which are written out in
the shorthand notes. It is true that
some expert writer's are able to write
words almost fully, and there are some
who write SO fully that their notes may
be transcribed by others; but the great
majority OF shorthand writer's write
notes which can be read only by them
selves, and which are in most cases
but suggestions of words.

Since you have been away;
We got the bran new microscope
That aunt bought yesterday,
And took drop of vinegar
To look at, and, oh dear,
Tho things we saw a-wiggliug round
Were very, very queer.
Some had no heads, and there was scarce
A leg among them all,
And many OF the bigger ones
Kept swallowing the small.

But, oh mamma you can't think what

to be generous 10 these suffering and decreple
heroes of the Lost Cause, and the most liberal
aid you can give them would be but scant
response to the sacred obligations that
rests upon the State and those of us who
are able to shield them from want and prtFa-

been csntented too long to feed them upon talk
and clothe them upon praise, and Ii Is time
now to stife their cries with bread instead OF

CONCLUSION.
retire from the executive ofice to which the
people of Tennessee called me, with the con-
seriousness Of having sought diligently to dis
charge its trusts in the fear Of God and the in
terest Of the people. The gratifying accom-
plishmeRts Of the administration swell my
heart with pride, although L far from
claiming more than slight share in their con-
summation. have been ably assisted in all
departments and by the officials Of the State
and by the Legislature, and all together, the
conditions being all favorable and the times
propItious, Tennessee has been placed upon a
higher plane OF prosperity and is in better con-
dition than sho ever knew. L congratulate her
people upon her splendid condition and more
splendid prospects.
Feeling confident, gentlemen, that you come to
the discharge Of your duty with patriotic pur
pose to make sure that which we have gained
and push forward to higher accomplishments
and richer results, with utmost confidence in
your ability to serve your people well, 1 need
not exhOrt you TO duty and diligence.
