FINE WRITING,

II Is Entirely Out OF riacc For Letters of
Any Kind.
.lany letters are begun with a phase
which is not written, but is spoNcn or
thought, what shall say?" And this
Is especially the case When the letter is
10 bo one Of congratulation. or thanks,
OF coincidence, or has reference to some
what exceptional circumstances The
writer is not satisfied with saying In
simple, perhaps commonplace, words
what he feols-just us he would speak
it.
lie feels vaguely that the occasion re-
quircs something unusual. that what
he writes must read well, and that he
ought To be able 10 think of some en-
phatic and eloquent phrases In which
to express his sentiments. But IL he
will think Of the letters he has received
himself he will see his mistake.
Except In unusual cases, where his
correspondent had u natural literary
gift FOR original and graceful express
sion, the letters that have spoken To his
heart have been those that were writ
ten simply and naturally.
The sentences may have been abrupt,
and they may have wandered from II
subject to another, and back again, and
not sounded ut all like the letters writ
ten by heroes and heroincs Of stories
and they may have ended suddenly
without II graceful closing paragraph,
but they were genuine and charactcris-
tic.
Their awkwnrdness was nothing,
since their sincerity was so evident. n
sincerity that might have been entirely
disguised under laborcd, bookish, fine
writing"
The story is told Of u bright French
woman that she spent much time and
thought In preparing n satisfactory
letter of congratulation to n friend who
had obtained n court appointment.
She covered four large pages with
beautiful phrases expressing her joy
over his good fortune. She read IL to n
literary man OF fine taste and much
good sense. lie asked her what sho
meant by all that.
"Nvhy, she replied, ~ want To tell him
that no one appreciates better than !
do the justice that his majesty has
done him, and | hope in going away
from here he will not forget his friends,
and that he ought to remember me. be-
cause I have always been interested in
his career"

four large pages, and write to him what

GRAVE APPREHENSlONS.
Washington Authorities Think Seriously
Of tho Labor Troubles.

of tho Labor Troubles.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1s.-The present
state Of affairs in the labor world may
curtail the summer plans Of cabinet
officers II it does not change those Of
the president himself. While every
thing is serene on tho surface, in army
circles there is an underlying current
that is seriously disturbed. In n word,
the opinion prevails that the coming
September, IL not the present month,
may be q nagnihed reproduction Of
September, 1877. p
1t is pretty we'll known that tho pros.
ident holds very decided opinions on
the subject of mobs. He was very
quick to interfere in tho recent mining
riot at Wallace, Idaho, and his action
in the cattlemen's troubles in Wyo.
ming in May was likewise emphatic.
The most conservative army men hero
believe that the multitude of strikos
nov in progress in the country, coupled
with the unusual discomfort prevalent
among the working classes, is surely
leading to conditions with which
the authorities Of the states wherein
trouble is apt to occur will find them
selves unable to cope. With this idea
in view the war department is taking
quiet steps to ascertain tho precise con-
dition of the troops g%arrisoned in tho
east and middle west and tho senti-
mem Of the enlisted men Is also being
deftly sounded.
While the authorities deplore the
necessity, should it arise, OF sending
United States troops into a state to put
down any uprising, they expect it to
come and are preparing themselves ac-
cordingly. Politicians scoff ut any sug-
gestion OF this sort, and say that 1t
would be suicide In the president to
cherish any such ideas on the eve of the
election, but that such u possibility Is
being seriously contemplated is beyond
p~eradventure.

A Successful Ruse.

A couple Of thirsty fellows who had
been loafng all the forenoon on the
quays at Stockholm were struck with q
brilliant idea. They borrowed an old
brandy keg and half filed it with water.
Then one of them slung it on his shoul-
der and took 1t to the nearest spirit
vault, where he stated that he had been
sent by one Of the shippers in port to
have the keg filed with brandy.
"The captain IS sorry he only got it
half full yesterday and thinks it would
be better to have 1t filed to the top"
The keg was accordingly held under
the taptill It was full, and the fellow
hoisted it on his shoulder, but as he was
about to walk of with it he was stop
ped by the clerk, who demanded pay

find that the animal had evidently been
run over by q wagon, as its spine was
dislocated and 1t was barely able to
crawl by dragging It's hind legs.
"She's done for, sure enough" com.
mented the Evanstonian. "She won't
last long. Come on, now"
The girl suddenly Strengthened up to
