TIE Grant Conkling letter published IN
another column is pronounced both by
Grants widow and son to be forgery. IL
appeared in the anti administration papers
Of last Friday and was intended rs en- ar
gument against second term, whereas
Grant was, or is represented as, arguing
against being forced to be candidate for
third term.
At that time Cameron and Quay and all
their followers in this State were for Grant
for third term, and they were so conf
dent of nominating him they were advis-
ing people to "get in out of the wet, ""get
into ine," etc.
Their object at that time was to beat
Blaine, and in that they succeeded, but
they were also beaten themselves, and
Blaine's friend, Garfield, was nominated.
Now the same crowd, or what is left OF
them, is trying to force Blaine to be
candidate to beat out arrison-with
what success remains to be seen.
If the letter is not forgery it relieves
Grants character of what at the time
seemed an unseemly ambition, and if it Is
q forgery it shows to what straits the
anti Harrisonites are put for an argument
Harrison has given the Quay Cameron
Platt- Clarksoa crowd everything they
could reasonably ask for, but like the old
Conkling- Cameron, ct al, crowd, they are
not satisfied. They want it all.

RAPID EXECUTION.

Remarkable Performance OF Men,

list.
Sir James Paget says that he once heard
Nile. Janotha render a presto by Mendels-
sohn, in which she had to play 5.595 notes
in four minutes and three seconds. Every
one of these notes involved certain move
ments of the fingers, and in many there
were movements lsterslly as we'll as those
up and down.
Let us say, says the st. Louis Republic,
that there were three distinct movements
for each note. AS there were twenty-four
notes per second, she moved her fingers at
least seventy-two distinct times each sec
ond.
Moreover, each of thoss notes was de-
termined by the will and allotted TO a GER
tain place, with certain time and with q
certain duration. Therefore there were
four distinct qualities in each of the sew
enty-two movements in each second.
Such We're the transmissions outward.
And all those were conditional on con-
sciou-ness of the position of each hand
and each finger before it was moved, and
by the sound and the force of each touch.
Therefore there were three conscious SEN
sations to every note.
There We're seyentytw transmissions
per second, one bundled and forty four to
and fro. and those with constant change
of quality. And then, added to that, all
the time the memory WAS remembering
each note in its due time and place, and
was exercised in the comparison of ii with
others that came before.
So that it would be fair to say that there
were not less than two hundred transmits
sinns of nerve force to and from the brain
outward and inward every second during
that wonderful performance.

DEFECTIVE PKOHIBICION,


A striking illustration of the difficulty
of dealing with a law that is not upheld by
the general public sentiment has lately
been seen in Maine, where there is pro-
hibitory law that does not prohibit. The
chief justice of the Supreme court presided
at the recent term of court held in Bangor,
a city where the liquor traffic is conducted
openly, and he let off all of the sellers who
were convicted upon payment of fines, not
single Jail sentence being imposed. A
district lodge of Good Templsrs has
passed resolutions declaring "That we view
with indignation the action of the presid-
ing justice of the Supreme judicial court at
the February term held in Bangor, as tend
ing to bring into disrepute our prohibitory
laws and defeat the ends of justice, said
action being in our minds arbitrary and il
legal, and in utter defiance of all law and
right, nullifying the law and preventing
the punishment of the crimina who have
engaged in the liquor traffic in defiance of
the expressed will of the people," The
Good Templars further resolved that the
action of the chief justice was illegal,
unrighteous, and subversive of the rights
of the people who desire to see the law
rigldly enforced" and declared that "we
will earnestly call upon our represents
tives in the legislature to inquire into the
matter, and take such further action as
the facts ascertained demand"
We do not know how much of rebuke
for the chief justics this is, but it is
probable that he has most of the commun-
ity with him in not imposing the severer
penalty. Maine has tried prohibition
long time, but the prohibitionists do not
appear to be making any great gain there
nowadays.

Stranger Learns How to Get

Drink in Boston on sunday.
tFrom the Boston Herald.l
He was a stranger in town. 1t was Sun
day night, and he was tired, after trip
on the "Ghost train" from New York
He wanted a drink, but knew not how or
where to get it.
He was in puritanical city, quartered
with some religious and temperance rela-
tives, and he longed for the morrow or q
glass of whiskey. His longing was OF
short duration. Within q stones throw
of Scollsy square he met metropolitan
friend who had been In Boston before.
Together they went to the nearest hotel
restaurant.

the thirsty man as he held back
"Never fear; your want shall be sup

The waiter came, and the man who knew
Boston looked at him with a knowing
smile and said: Bring me one hard
boiled egg and bottle of Bass ale.

because you should have ordered some
thing to eat. Furthermore, you should
have ordered it before ordering the drink.
That's the law"
True" said the man who was scqusint-
ed with Boston; ''the waiter has no alter.
native. If he should serve you now. he
would be discharged"
The newcomer had to sit patiently
while hi friend drank Bass and pus the
boiled egg in his pocket, to be thrown
away when he departed.
AS soon as the thirsty traveller got out
of the dining room he bolted for another
hotel near by. He ordered a cracker, and
then, as quickly as he could, added, land
glass of whiskey." His thirst was salts

Sole survivor or custer. Fight.


For many years after the Custer massa-
ere, whenever the Seventh cavalry wAs
paraded, or there was any mounted forma-
ton. there WAS presented the pathetic
sight of an old cavalry charger, saddled
and equipped, and led by a trooper on each
side, the empty saddle telling the story of
the old horses faithfulness. He was the
sole survivor found on the field of the
Custer massacre. He belongs TO an officer
in the regiment, and watched by his mas
ter's body, although wounded in a dozen
places, for days and nights, and when the
rescuers came there he stood, gaunt, starv
ing, wounded, but faithful to the dead
man. The late General Sturgis, who was
then colonel of the regiment, and who lost
| a splendid young son in the fight, issued
an order that the horse should be cared
for to the end of his days, as attached to
the regiment, and that at all mounted for
nations he should be in line. He lived to
q good old age.

often exceeded in real life. The other
formance in the Talbotson (GeorRia)
opera house, in which murder trial had
been in progress during the day. In the
middle of the show the Superior court
judge, counsel and jury fled in, and the
judge, taking the stage, reinstructed the
jury on some points in which they were
obscured. When the jury went back to
its deliberations the Judge and counsel, as
well as the prisoner upon whose fate the
jury was to pass, remained to see the show,
agreeable diversion.
DR.. Paul Pollach, the deputy vicar
apostolic tor China, has been giving out
in Vienna some interesting views concern
ing the Celestial Kingdom. He declares
that the national movement, now daily
gaining ground, is encouraged and pro-
NOTED by the authorities. 1t is intended,
he says, to create a national fleet quite in
dependent of Europe. The Nstionslists
are endeavoring to increase their military
strength, and are apparently bent on once
more isolating China entirely. They are
doing their utmost to drive Europeans out
of the empire. Economical independence
is another goal aimed at, and a number of
Chinese are now studying in England and
America in order to explore the
vast native mineral wealth. Meanwhile,
the national pride of the Chinese is daily
increasing. The reigning dynasty, being
of tartar origin, will probably be sacri-
feed, he thinks, to the movement now on
foot. The Christians are prosecuted both
from political and religious motives. Ac-
cording to Dr. Pollach the Jews first immi-
grated to China about 200 years before
Christ. At present there are only two
Chinese Jewish communities. They OBJ
serve the Jewish Sabbath, but cannot read
the original Hebrew scriptures. Over the
doors of their houses are tablets whereon
it is written that their religion is at one
with the doctrines of Confucius. These
communities altogether include about three
hundred souls.

WALT WHITMAN,

The death of Walt Whitman finds his
fame secure, or, at least, a good deal more
secure than it was ten or fifteen years ago.
When he first came into notice as a poet
he shocked a good many people and sur
prised many SO that they did not know
what to think of his poetry. And there
are many who to this day do not know.
There have been some curious criticisms
made upon it. One of the most curious
was when he was discharged from clerk
ship in the Interior department for being
the author of ''Leaves of Grass" For
many years he was iercely attacked. His
defiance of conventionality, of recognized
poetic form, and sometimes of what is
known al common decency" brought
upon him a storm of savage rebuke. But,
on the other hand, he found appreciation
from those whose appreciation would have
been eagerly welcomed by any of his crit
les. Emerson was early in his commenda-
ton, although he did not approve of the
nastiness that dis6gured his work. Ten
| nyson and George Eliot gave him a high
place among poets, and he found other
warm admirers among competent judges
in England. All this had softening effect
| on those who had denied him any poetic
merit, and in late years the bitter attacks
on him have ceased.
Whitman has not been we'll understood
He probably never will be except by the
few especially fitted to understand him.
But he said what he thought in his own
way and lived brave and at times very
practically useful life. The spirit in which
he lived and wrote is well illustrated in
these words of his
