The Scope of Mind,

In our own country, turning nearer
home, is not the most successful or
our generals also one OF the most
successful of our writer's? Can any
one doubt that Lord Wolseley might
have made himself a first-class repu-
tation with his pen if he had never
touched a sword in his life, far less
welding the commanders baton? 1t
is very strange.
Are we to suppose that, at bot tom
the energy of mind is much the same,
after all, which goes to make a Caesar
or Shakespeare, to equip Newton
or Napoleon? Might George Mere
dith, under another star, have
created the combinations of Metz,
and drawn the iron ring round Paris?
Might Hellmuth Moltke, starting
from Mr.. Meredith's cradle, have
written "The Ordeal of Richard Fe-
verel?'
Whether the man who leads to a
breach and the man who writes a
book are really moulded of the same
intellectual clay or no, one thing is
certain, the tendency OF modern con-
ditions is to approximate them more
and more. More and more inmodern
warfare is it possible for "a Moltke to
treat the field as a chessboard, and
to meet warm eulogy, as with
characteristic modesty Moltke met
tso recently as a few years ago,with
the reflection. swell, l don't feel
sure now whether l could see bat.

The Land Problem.

The land question in its various
phases promises to become the leading
issue in politics in other countries, as
well as in Ireland, at no distant day.
The connection between land distribu.
ton and prosperity is strikingly shown
in the case of England and France.
In the former, the laws of primogeni.
ture and entail combine to continue a
landed class who monopolize the soil;
In the latter, estates are divided
equally among the children. thus tend.
ing to small holdings and peasant pro.
prietorship. As result, chiefly, OF
these systems we find in England vast
estates on which their owners live in
princely manner surrounded by every
thing conducive to pleasure and dig
nified ease, while thousands and hum
dreds OF thousands of acres are devoted
to parks and hunting grounds, from
which the tillers of the soil have grad.
ually been driven to swell tne increas-
ing number OF the landless. with the
result according to John Morley's esti-
mate, that 45 per cent OF the inhabi-
tants OF England who reach the age OF
sixty years become paupers.' In
France, on the contrary, where Diff
ferent system prevails, the savings OF
the peasants constitute the wealth of
the nation.

Annoyed by His Nickname.

Senator Vest says that the name
of Sunset" which chung to the late
Samuel s. Cox, was constant
source OF annoyance to that genial
statesman.
"On one OCCASION" said Senator
Vest the other day, "Mr. Cox was
paying flying visit to the scene OF
his boyhood in Ohio, aud attended

saying he had seen a picture illus
tratjag the text, which represented
q slave looking toward the west,

Sunset The preacher dwelt on the
worthless of both Testaments. He
pictured Jacob longing for Joseph
and old Simeon's desire to go as
soon as his eyes were made glad.
He hinged his discourse entirely up
OIL the word sunset" Mr.. Cox be-
came nervous and annoyed; he toyed
and tigeted with his prayer-book,
and shifted about in his seat until
the minister in q burst of eloquence
said: "When the river is passed, the
dark, swollen floods surmounted and
heaven attained, there will be I'M
Swallowed joy, for there will be no
sunset in heaven" Then he closed
the book, and Mr.. Cox, with a state

to the clear morning air.

1t Would not Draw.

A weil-know Boston business man,
whose aged father resides in Cana
dian town, recently sent to the old
gentleman q package OF prepared
mustard plasters, thinking they
would be of use in case of a recurrence
of rheumatism, with which he had
been afflicted.
The plasters were thankfully re-
ceived and Immediately thrust into
a desk among other odds and ends.
One night, being awakened by an
acute attack of his complaint, the
old gentleman arose from his bed,
and going to the desk, took what he
supposed was a plaster, and, wet
ting it with water placed it over the
spot in which the pain was located.
For time all was quiet in his
chamber. Soon his daughter, occu-
plying a room in another part of the
house. heard him swearing roundly.
Come in here, Annie" he cried. as
she looked into the door of his room;
"see If you can get that mustard
plaster off my back; it's as coarse as
bran, but it don't draw bit"
Annie did as she was hidden and
gently removed square piece OF
sand-paper from his back.

Facts Concerning Wolves,

acts concerning wolves,
Temple Bar.
The natural enmity which subsists
between dogs and wolves is q char
acteristic which is recalled by the an
tipathy shown by every good watch.
dog toward strangers OF his own
race; but that wolves should devour
dogs certainly savours somewhat of
Cannibalism, for these friends and
foes of man are in fact two branches
OF the same family, as is proved to
the satisfaction of naturalists by
their identity in various important
characteristics, though sundry mi
nor points of difference are noted,
such as that in drinking a dog laps,
whereas a wolf sucks, and in biting
the wolf gives a rapid succession OF
vicious snaps, instead of the firm
retaining hold which generally
,chaTacterizes the bite OF healthy
dog. The character of the bark also
differs greatly, the honest dog-barli
beingreplacod by a short swapping,
while the wolf voice is chiefly ,ex-
erted in producing dismal howls.
AS regards external appearance,
the common wolf with his shaggy
coat bears q mach close resemblance
to u Collie dog than the latter does
to most other branches of the dog
tribe, though the cruel, treacherous
expression of the obliquely-set eyes
betrays how different is the wolf
spirit from that which looks out
through the kind true eyes of the
faithful dog. Yet there have been in
stances OF domesticated wolves
which have formed q strong attach
ment to their human owners, while
on the other hand wehave to confess
that the dog race does include both
savage and cowardlp individuals,

Frightened to Death.
IRON the Hartford Courant.

From the Hartford Courant.
c. W. Durham, a prominent Ken.
sington man, died recently from eff
fects of ar accident which happened
to him while working at his occupa-
ton as butcher. Mr.. Dunha n wa !,
dressing a hog, and as he drew the
body toward him a knife, which lay
unnoticed upon the bench, was
thrust into his groin, cutting an ar
terry. DR.. Gillin, of Berlin, was sent
for, and when he arrived it was found
that surgical aid was necessary, and
Drs. Lyon and Comings, of New Brit
ain, were summoned. The flow of
blood was checked, the wound was
dressed, and the patient left in a
comfortable condition.
During the night Mr.. Durham
awoke, and, thinking he was bleed.
ing again, sent for DR.. Gillin; but
when the Doct or arrived Mr.. Dun
ham had passed away. This led the
hSctor to believe that another ar.
20 must have been cut, so an ex-
animation was held, and, as no trace
of arterial blood was found upon the
bandage it was certain that the man
had not bled to death; and the only
theory given is that, as the patient
was very weak from loss of blood,
the sudden thought that he was
bleeding to death caused shock
which stopped the pulsations of the
heart, or, in other words, the man
was frightened to death.
