~. Holmes was designed by nature
rather for poet and wit than for = fam
lily physician; and some of his successes
as poet have been remarkable. The
Last Leaf" was one of those: but Lowell
in lS4S called attention to another, which
is not so well remembered as it should
be-a ssage in his "Metrical Essay"
read at nbridge in 1896, of which and
it's author Lowell said in the "Fable:"
He has perfect sway OF what call sham
But many admire it. the English pentameter;
And Campbell, think, wrote most commonly
worse,
With less nerve swing and fire in the sams
kind of verse.
Nor ere achieved aught int so worthy of
praise
As the tribute of Holmes TO the grand Mar
seillaise.
Now here is the tribute. written with
all the more vigor, because the young
doctor had but lately returned from his
medical studies in Paris:
The city slept beneath the moonbeam's glance.
Her white walls cleaning through the vines Of
France.
And all was hushed, save where the footsteps
fell
On some high tower of midnight sentinel.
But one still watched; no self-encirCled woes
Chased from his lids the angel of repose;
His C0untry's sutferngs and her children's
shame
Streamed DER his memory like forests flame.
Each treasured insult each remembered
wrong
Rolled through his heart and kinded into
song:
His taper faded and the morning gasl
Swept through the world the war-soV # Mar
seiles.

Trmffie EImntimg WIN PigS.

Speaking of pigs reminds me that ]
lately went truffle hunting with one, says
a Paris letter to the Boston TrduSc1jpt
1t was not near Paris, for there are no
truifies hereabouts. but far to the south
in the region of the Dordogne.
The pig was about the ugliest and most
depraved looking beast of lis kind that
can be imagined-one with a stilte bacI;
and shockingly exaggerated nose, but,
like many human beings that are not
beautiful, it was exceedingly intell-
gent. Its greediness. of course, made il
so, but greednesS is not always correct
i've TO stupidity.
The truffle hunter in chief WAS the pigs
master, and as far as appearances Went
there was really not much difference be-
tween them. He had also bent back
and nose that seemed to have been de-
signed for no other purpose than that OF
turning up trutlies,
Nevertheless, it was the pig that drl all

business being to take care that the
cryptogram did not get swallowed ON the
spot.
To guard against this accident he had
filled his pockets with maize, a few grains
of V hic.l the animal accepted in exchange
for a trutfle.
Once or twice the sybaritic instincts OF
the beast were too strong for its judg-
meut, and it ate the fungus before tho
man had time to snatch it, but blows
upon the nose with a stick counterbal
anced the satisfaction thus derived, and
the pig being a reasonable animal soon
came to the conclusion that it was better
to accept the maize and leave the trutlie.

How 1t Feels to BE Tarred and Feath-

cred.
A man who has "been there" told re-
porter: People who read of tarring and
feathering by White Caps and Others
know that the punishment is very un.
pleasant one, but few imagine how ter
ribly painful and dangerous it is. In
Wyoming l once saw man who had
been tarred and feathered, and, al.
though he fully deserved the discipline,
] could not help plying him. Hardened
tar is very hard to remove from the skin,
and when feathers are added it forms
kind of cement that sticks closer than a
brother. As soon as the tar sets the vic.
TINS suffering begins. 1t contracts as il
cools. and every one of the little veins on
the body are pulled, causing the most ex
quisite agony. The perspiration is en-
tirely stopped, and unless the tar is re.
moved death is certain to ensue. But
the removal is no easy task, and requires
several days. The tar can not be soft
ened by the application of heat, and must
be peeled off bit by bit. sweet oil being
used to make the process less painful.
The irritation to the skin is very great. as
the hairs can not be disengaged. hut
must be pulled out or cut off, No mar
can be cleaned of tar in single day, a.
the pain of the operation would be toe
excruciating for endurance. and until
this is done he has to suffer from a pain
like that of 10000 pin pricks. Numbers
of men have died under the torture. and
none who have gone through it regard
tarring and feathering as anything but
most fearful inhiction.

Industrial Congress poings.

ST. LOUIS. Feb. 20.-The principal
event of today among the delegates to
the Industrial conference was the meeting
of the representatives of the Prohibition
party, the Peoples party and the Ma
tIonal Reform party, IN their endeavor to
reach some common ground upon which
they could support a single ticket.
Among those present were Gen. j. b.
Weaver, Ignatius DonDelly, Miss Francis
f. Willard. +. j.. Wheelock and G.. NJ.
Miller.
No decision was reached beyond the
confirmation OF the action Of the confer
once held at Chicago recently at which it
was determined the committee having
among its members several of today's con-
ferences should present the industrial con-
ference a series of resolutions declaring
in favor of the issuance OF money by the
general government in sufficient uuanti-
ties to prevent the Intervention OF private
institutions, the suppression of the saloon,
favoring the government control of trans.
portation opposing alien ownership OF land
with a limit on any ownership and favor
ing the municipal suffrage for woman
with an educational qualification. The
oohhi'ttcc Will bhciCiOic, pleecul tHebt
issues to the conference with a request
they be endorsed in the platform. 1t is
understood the liqnor plank will be met
in the conference with a counter PROPOSE
ton to the effect when the state legislates
upon the question that legislation will be
regarded by other states and the federal
government and state protested IN the
enforcement of its law.
A lively time is expected over this
prohibition question. One wing Of the
industrial people. led by Gen. Weaver.
is said to be practically in favor of
straight prohibition and an alliance with
the Prohibltionists. while another, headed
by Washburne and Taubeneck, insist
that economic reforms are what the con-
ference is after and the liquor question
should receive consideration later. At
the first meeting of the National Citizens
Alliance today, the delegates to next
weeks conference were instructed to sup
port Independent political action.
Jack Frost is the best in the market.

the yards being buried in the snow and
1000 men are idle. A dispatch from
Dublin states that telegraph wires and poles
are down in all direction through Ireland
aud railway traffic is interrupted. Snow
is still falling heavily in Ireland and in
Cork and adjoining places the roads are
covered four feet. Anxiety is felt re-
garding the safety of several farmers who
left the markets bound for home at a late
hour yesterday evening and of whom
nothing has been heard since.
