Too Fine n Point.

A physician who was in the Sing
Sing death chamber would have few
changes in the method of applying the
electrical current. Among other things
he would have "the head free; let the
man be man while living, and be able
to look around"
What difference can it make to a man
who in a few seconds after he is taken
to the death chamber is to be in anoth-
or world? His time for making valua-
BILE observations is past. His only re-
naming earthly interest is to be dis
patched as quickly and painlessly as
possible.
Once in the hands OF the executioner
all the manhood that ever could have
been OF service to him is gone. II he
had any left it would not be added to
or taken from because he could or could
not look around. There is nothing
within view that can make his last mo-
ments any sweeter.
For men who were pledged to secresy
those witnesses are doing deal Of talk
ing. 1t is a strong temptation to give
the unruly member free swing.

He Could Correctly Spell Obsolete Words

Poverty and drudgery kept Lawrence
Barrett out of school, and only when
'call.boy" did he really learn to read.
Then that head of his came to his aid.
Begging candle ends from the theatre
he would go to his wretched little room
and stick them on tacks purposely nail
ed into the floor, as the ends were too
short for "a candlestick. There, lying
fiat upon his stomach, the future TRACE
dian taught himself to read out OF an
old copy OF Johnson's Dictionary.
"Tll wager can trip you up on the
first page" said Laurence Hutton, on
being told this incident.
"Try me-" replied Barrett.
A very extraordinary page is that first
OF Johnson's dictionary, says Kate Fields
Washington, beginning with such un-
usual words as Aaronical, abacist,
abatis, all of which Barrett spelled and
defined correctly.
"What's 'abacot?"
"a cap OF state used in old times by
our English kings, wrought up in the
figure OF two crowns"
whats 'abannition%"
"a Punishment for one or two years
for manslaughter."
whats 'abditoryY"
"a place to hide and preserve goods
The very words of dictionary that
Barrett had not opened for thirty years.

; Apretty fight is going on in Philadel-
phia, the board OF education on one
side, one hundred and sixty girls on the
other. These girls passed the examina-
ton which entities them to admission
to the normal school. The board was
glad they passed and sorry that the
crowded condition OF the school would
shut them out.
The girls had worked hard and were
not disposed to give up SO easily; and SO
they are putting in some good work on
the board OF education. The great city
Of Philadelphia should find way to
provide those plucky girls with school
accommodations if it has to camp them
out. The ISTELLleENcER is with the
girls in their fight.

words FIFTY spoken.

The visitors to the Naval Academy
are not bit too severe in their char
acterization Of hazinga as "odious, brutal
izing and un-American." It is all this
and as much more as similar adjectives
can express.
Put at the boys in this strong light it
should make them ashamed to continue
what there is left Of their barbarous
sport, which is only sport for the strong
who have numbers on their side.
The country makes liberal provision
for these youngsters and expects them
to behave themselves. Hazing is mis-
behavior OF a rankly despotic kind.
Any cadet who is unwilling to deny
himself the pleasure OF making another
miserable is not ft to be ansoticer in
the American navy.

DEFIED THE COURT.
Col. Burisstt Abuses Judge and Refuses
to Go to Jail.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, July9.-Athens,
Tenn, is in a great state of excitement.
During the session of the Circuit Court,
Judge Arthur Trayor presiding, Col. T.
B. Burkett, well-known lawyer, was
pleading for reduction ola fine i'm
posed on client. In the course of his
remarks he made some very disrespect-
full illusions to the Judge presiding. The
Judge thereupon fined Col. Burkett $50
for contempt of court, and afterwards
Burkett again commenced to use abusive
Language and made some steps toward
the Judge, apparently to assault him.
The sheriff Intercepted Col. Burkett
and thereupon the judge ordered the
sheriff to place Col. Burkett in jail:
Burkett made defiance to the court and
officers, and said he would not go to
jail. The sheriff summoned all the
court room as a posse to carry out the
order OF the court, but Col. Burkett
walked from the court house unmo-
Tested and is not yet under arrest. Some
friends paid the fine imposed, but they
say Col. Burkett shall not go to Jail.

AFarmer's Corner on wheat.

An Alliance brain has conceived the
idea OF farmers corner in wheat, and
farmers are exhorted by circular to get
themselves in shape for this movement.
They are told that this is an excep.
tionally good year for the farmer. His
wheat crop is large. Europe's is short,
and in consequence of the reciprocity
measures South America swill take
largely from U.S.
Since wet time would knock in the
Head part Of the crop calculations, the
farmer is urged to act "as II rain had
really prevented an early harvest" and
resolve on sacred Alliance pledge that
he will not sell his wheat for less than
81 IS a bushel in New York.
It is explained that while this would
be similar to strike it differs in this,
that when the workingman strikes he
loses money every day Of the strike,
while the former would not lose any
thing. If the wheat-grower desires to
hold for higher prices that is his priyi-
lego; but the Alliance managers are I'D
vising him to do what they have been
scoring dealers for doing.
Ii there is principle involved, what
is the material difference? 1t is hard
to keep up with Alliance schemes.
They break out in the least expected
places,

find in free trade newspaper of-the
New York Evening POTS vigorous abil-
ity:
Il not merely the farmers "'way back in the
country who find II increasingly hard TO get
lRborefs. The difficulty Affects also the market
gardeners in the vicinity OF cities. The Fitsbulg
Dispdlch reports that q man who runs garden
farm on Troy Hill, Allegheny, finds his business
suffering for want OF help, although he has ex'
hatsted every resource at his command; YEAR
ago, he says, he got all the hands ne needed, anu
good ones, though there was more general de-
maud for laborers than at present. But now the
same class Of men insist upon living In the CITY.
Another case Is mentioned OF farmer VINO
c mixed crops ana who SsS Ses ad
get steady help. This Is equal 20 s12IoO per
month, sam that when Allegheny county
farmers found much better markets thnn az
present would have employed two men, who
would have considered themselves well remun'
Grated. Are we all finally going to starve 70
death because nobody will consent to live in the
country w.
We shall not starve to death this year
the crops are too abundant for that.
But this is not the significant point of
the state of facts mentioned by the
Evening Pos. Why do Allegh eny farm
ers offer, and offer in vain, twice the
wages they used to pay for l9bor2 Isn't
it because the growing Industries of
Pittsburgh and vicinity are drawing
men thither from the soil?
And if this country had pursued the
free trade policy urged upon itby the
Democratic party would there be an
offer of such wages to agricultural
laborers? woulen't the drift of the
unemployed be towards the farm-two
men seeking ono job instead of two jobs
seeking one man?
There has been general and marked
rise in the wages Of agricultural labor,
and this is one of the triumphs of the
protective policy. In Great Britain the
drift has been lust the other way.
