THE CHAUTAUOUA MEETING


The usual fortnightly meeting of the Chautau-
qua circle held in the chapel Of this institu-
ton Sunday last. and the attendance we'll as
the literary excellence displayed thereat will
compare favoraby with any of the previous ef-
forts Of the members. The reports submitted
were without exception good and deserve the
highest commentator. One or two of the men,
bers, however, showed inclination too utstep
the five-minute limit of the bylaws. which it is
hoped will not occur again. If the suggestion
thrown out in this column a few weeks ago. to not
let the reports exceed four pages of the regulation
paper furnished the class, be only acted upon.
there need be no fear of any one coming under
the ban Of the presidents gavel That worthy
official has been a strict disciplinarian from away
back and has pledged the memory of his
noble ancestors to have the constitution
and bylaws obeyed if it took him until
next May to do it, When in this mood it is noted
he seldom. if ever. speaks above a whisper in
presence or within the hearing Of any of the Irish
members, particularly since he read the account
OF the brilliant military maneuvers in Cork few
days ago.
The Rev. Mr.. Albert present and in his
capacity as critic gave some valuable hints to the
me ioers which were gratefully received.

ard everything promises brilliant success for
this years study.

as we'll as to American history. In Classic Ger
man 1 would especially suggest that might
have report showing the writer's views as to
merit and character of each German author as
they occur in history, showing the development
of the language and comparison of their work
with the works of authors in other languages con-
temporary with them. By this we would be able
to render due appreciation OF each and assign it
to its proper place in classic literature.
In conclusion let me say that we do not meet
here for good time" but for study-to acquire
knowledge-and it lays with each one of you to
say how much of that knowledge you will acquire
and to what use you will apply it in the future.
These are questions that no one can answer for
you but must forever lay with your own selves as
opportunity of which you eagerly availed your
self of or one you sadly neglected. but remember
that life is entirely made up of opportunities and
the future is but reflection Of the use we have
made of the opportunities of the past. $50 let us
strive that each tomorrow, will find us further

One Plum in Lfterature(?),

What is the highest rate of remuneration ever
paid in literature? Up to the present we should
be inclined to think that the 1000 pounds just
paid by the proprietors of Ally Sloper's Half
Holiday to fortunate rhymer called Hicks holds
the record. Mr.. Hicks is responsible for the
quoted words in the following verse, the other
words being the skeleton which the competitors
for the prize had to fill in
There an old Fossil named Sloper,
Astronomer, Sage, HOroscOper,"
He fell down the stairs
And saw Comets in pairs"
That unfortunate. Fruity, Old Sloper.

brilliance as ths.-London Globe.

Two Peculiar Men.

We we're sitting on the cotton.bales. half dozen
of us, on the depot platform, at town in South
Carolina. when a native rode up and dismounted
from his mule and joined the group. He had
free.and-easy way with him. and he was chewing
plug tobacco for all he worth. He had
scarcely got seated when he elected mouthful of
juice which struck the dusty and wrinkled boot
Of another native about six feet away.
"'Scuse me. sah." said the splitter as he saw
what he had done.
The other looked at him, but made no reply, and
in about two minutes the operation was repeated.
"scuse me. sah.'' said the splitter. as he looked
up, 'but I'm leetle pecooliar. Never see foot
hanging out like that without wanting to spit on
it,"
The owner of the boot was half lying down. and
he neither got up nor had word to say. The other
had uttered twenty words he turned his head and
squirted for that boot again. His aim was wonder
fully accurate and he calmly explained:
"'Scuse me. sah but I'm pecooliar man. No
offense. sab, but just my way
We looked on in something like amazement, but
the owner of the boot didn't even protest. though
he slowly rose up from his recumbent position.
The splitter went on to tell that cotton would be
no crop unlcSS IL rdIueO very SOOu, anu pretty
soon around went his head and he fired another
charge at the boot and said:
"'Scuse me. sah but I'm pecooliar man. It's
just my way, you know. and"-
The owner of the boot suddenly pulled revolver
and fred point blank at the others head and as
big white hat went flying with bullet-hole in
it, he Indignantly exclaimed:
"Look a-yere, Steve Boyard. if yous bin pearl.

Steven felt hurt in his feelings for time, but

LIBERAL

There would seem to be forces at
work in the field of English politics, not
the less effective because generally
silent, which are working a gradual
transformation in the lines of traditional
attachment. Both political parties are
anxiously forecasting the results of the
approaching general election, and the
liberals, we are told to believe, are look
ing for the essentials Of their success in
the counties. Twenty-Five or even
twenty years ago, the conservative party
managers would have received the bare
statement of such a possibility with in
credulous surprise. In the towns and
cities, among the wage earners and the
trading classes, they would have been
constrained to admit that the liberal
party had a strong and devoted follow
ing. But the assertion that Hodge
would forsake the examples oil his father
and his grandfather to vote against the
political tenets of the squire would have
caused only a smile of derision. It is
true that there have always been a few
liberal counties, but they we're liberal,
just as the majority was conservative.
owing to the political faith Of the local
magnate or magnates. The counties

lief. The political influence OF tho land
owner was naturally nor potent there
than in the cities. The landowners
who we're not conservatives, were few
the equities that were liberal, still
fewer.
II the liberal hopes have any other
foundation than their desires, all this
state Of affairs must be slowly changing,
Indeed, on reflection, it is not difficult
to work out tho links in the chain. The
extension OF the franchise has widely
increased the county electorate. The
protection Of the secret ballot has eman-
cipated the voter from direct dictation.
The growth OF education with the
increase of newspapers has created a
widespread and intelligent interest in
politics. The c%heapening Of the cost of
transportation and tho sprsad Of rail.
roads have changed the country voter
from the stay at-home being that he
used to be. His opportunities OF change
have convinced him that, however hard
it may be to uproot himself and his be-
longings from their traditional nook of
earth, it is actually possible for him to
go elsewhere and make Il greater success
OF life than the catechism seemed to
promise him. Emigration has done
much for his enlightenment. Bold
spirits have actually crossed the ocean,
and have risen from their and his dull,
narrow sphere to the accomplishment
Of greater purposes and nobler duties.
What they have done, he may do. In
the liberal party seems to
him to be fuller of promise for his con
.ition than the conservatives, his long
time masters. When he has a vote and
free vote, he will cast it for the liberal
1t may happen, Of course, that
at this stage of the game the liberals
are overestimating the extent of the
voters emancipation from the
trammels Of tradition and local infiu-
,nce; but with the forces we have emu
nerated at work, it is not hard to be-
ieve that the conservatives will eventu-
lose their grip on the counties.

The Prevailing Style of Hero.

The popular hero now of fiction and iour-
nalism is either a ''speculator,'' or Capital

more often the last named. A decade or so
ago it was the broker who set the pace of
American lite in novels and newspapers
1t was Broker Jones who made his pile by a
turn of the market, who endowed the free
library in his native village, who repre-
sented American %aristocracy at Saratoga or
Long Branch, and who decided when straw

declared on. Now all is changed. This
broker, as an influential social figure, does
not count. except occasionally in the head

But of all others it is the 'son of Million
