Quay Wants Assurances From
President Harrison.
CONFIDENT Of DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS.
Peoples Party Senator's Veil
vote With Democrats.

From Our Regular Washington Correspondent,
Washington, Oct. "a, 1892.
There is a hitch, in fact two
bitches, in tue republican pro-
CRANE. 1t was expected that Sen
ator Quay would have been in
New York week ago, TO remain
until the campaign ended. for the
purpose of aiding Mr.. Garter in the
work Which Mr.. Harrison has ne
cessarily been compelled to give
up. But Quay did not go to New
York, and just as MIR. Harrisnn's
friends were wondering what his
alleged illness meant he turned up
ia Washington to tell them that
he would moi 60 to New York IN
less he was given certain ASSURANCES
by word of mouth, in the presence
of ut least two witnesses, from Mr..
Harrison. He was told that it
would lie Impossible for Mr.. Har
rison to meet him, owing to the
condition of Mrs. Harrison. He
still insisted. aud said he would 90
back home to rem,in until after
election if these premises were not
made. The meeting WAS then ar
ranged aud Mr.. Quay had a few
minutes conversation with MIR.
Harrison in the presence of three
ether gentleman. Whether Mr..
Harrison made the promises de-
manded Of him cannot he stated
with any degree Of certinty at this
time; but if Qnay turns up in New
York this week, as | believe he
will, it may be set down as Ger
tain that he did. So much for hitch
one.
The other hitch concerned Mr..
Blaine. The men who have for
three years devoted their time and
study to belittling everything done
i,y Mr. Blaine and to showing that
he was merely All humble instru
lnent III the hands of the master
statesman, Benjamin Harrison, sud
denly woke up the other day to the
necessity of obtaining the help in
the campaign. Then scheme was
patched up to get Mr.. Blaine to
seem to take an active part in the
campaign, Whitelaw Reid, Pat
Eg2n and other personal friends Of
Mr.. Blaine being utilized to per-
suade him into it. The first part
of the scheme is now political his,
tory; Mr.. Blaine was gotten to
Whitelaw Reid's house and there
made short "improInptu" speech,
from carefully prepai ed type writ

we'll the scheme then decided that
Mr., Blaine must be kept in New

Miss Bentley, the English mag
nstic girl who accompanied Mr..
and Mrs. Stuart mberland on
their recent visit to Copenhagen,
before the golden wedding party
broke up rather surprised ais Ma
jesty of Russia by some of her ex-
periments. He keenly watched the
efforts of the Prince Royal Of Greece
to push to the ground billiard
cue lightly held by Miss Bentley
| in her hands, and with considerable
aiacrity he took his nephew's place
after he had failed. The Gar
grasped the cue with both hands
and put his enormous strength into
the EFFORT to get the point of the
cue to the. ground. II bent and
quivered, but all his Majesty's eff
forts, like those of his predecessor,
were in vain.
But a still greater surprise was
in store. He placed his hands an
der Miss Bentley's elbows and lift
ed; up went the young English
girl until her hair almost touched
the calling. Then Mr.. Cunber-
land explained that on that occa-
sion Miss Bentley had allowed her
self to be lifted, bat when his Mai
esty next tried he would find it i'm
possible to move her. The Czsr
smiled. But the smile quickly
gave way to look of perplexity
when all his efforts 10 lit her the
hundredth part of an inch from the
ground were .unavailing. Still
more surprised was he when Miss
Bentley, lightly resting her fingers
against the wall, resisted the efforts
of various members Of the royal
party TO push her against the wall.
The experiment with . chair, in
which Mics Bentley, by merely
placing y hand OIL each side of the
back of the chair, with the thumbs
slightly curved, lifted a person seat
ed thereon, excited the Cars pro-
found attention, and he sat on the
chair and was lifted. Then the
Prince Royal of Grsece sat upon
his Maiesty's knees, and up went
the clair. To them were added the
Crown Prince of Denmark and the
Duke Of Cumberland--one Empe-
ror, two future Kings and one King
in passe. Never was there SO much
royalty upon one single chair before.
Their collective weight was certain
" nut less than so stone. Tile
chair was grasped by Miss Bentley
as before, and mp it went, Emperor,
Princes and all, three or four inch
es from the ground. The Cz,r's
fret look was one of surprise, his
second one of warm congratulations.
( 1t was while the magnetic craze
was at its height in London that
Mr.. Cumberland enc night after
dinner quite casually suggested
that Miss Bentley .ehoald try and

experiments were tried, and she
succeeded in a truly remarkable
manner. Her first actual test ex- :

Literary Truths.

Count Tolstoi says that there are three
things needed to make an acceptable
writer: he must have something to say,
lie must know how to say it. and he must
have sincerity. To write simply to suit
the popular taste is Of course insincere.
For the benefit of young writers we quote
a few condensed statements of literary
truths: Ones first business in writing is
to say what one has to say An epithet
is an addition; but an addition may be
an incumbrance. Most people seem to
think the coat makes the gentleman; !;
almost all fancy the diction makes the
poet Too much is seldom enough.
Pumping after your bucket is full pre-
vents it from keeping so. Perhaps it is
when the imagination flies the lowest,
that we see the hues of her plumage.
The best training for style is speech;
not monologues, or lectures-but conver-
sation, whence the French, and women
generally, derive the graces of their
style; and the agnostic oratory Of the
bar, the senate, and the forum, which
make people speak home, and to the
point. The pulpit, too, would be like
discipline, if they who mount it would
oftener think as much of the persons they
re preaching to as Of the preacher.

The Psshr's Daughter.

A visit to the harem considerably nj.
tered my preconceived opinions of Turk
ish life. The pasha's daughter. bright,
pretty little woman, took me in charge.
and after asking me a number OF ques.
tions concerning my own way OF living,
kindly answered those l asked in return.
Turkish "ctTendi," she said. rarely
married more than one wife. He was not
esteemed socially when lie did so. But
polygamy was allowed. 1t could not be
gainsaid that the sultan had several
wives, but they did not count. Only one
counted. No! Turkish ladies were not
so shut up as one supposed. They went
out driving and shopping when they
pleased. 1t was very amusing to spend a
day at the bazars. 1t was true wives in
Turkey could not go out driving and
walking with their husbands, or even be
seen in their company. 1t was against
Turkish etiquette; it would be shock
ing, in fact. Nor did they ever share a
husbands meals. nor show themselves in
tile part Of the house he Inhabited, nor
ever, by any chance, see or encounter any
one of lis friends, nor any gentleman
whatsoever, nor so to the theater, nor
spend the evening, nor travel. 1t was
against the law for Turkish woman to
leave the country; it would not be al
lowed. Still, these trifling exceptions
apart, Turkish ladies had plenty of lib.
erty. They could visit each other and
shop when they chose. Their husbands
were obliged to provide for them en-
tirely, and to satisfy all their caprces.
They could not be asked to do hands
turn for themselves-not even to nurse
their own babies. In short, think the
pasha's daughter was of opinion that
all was for the best in the best Of all pos
sible worlds, signifying as a matter Of
course the Ottoman world alone.

Rapidity OF Speech.

Have you any idea how many words
q person talks a minute?" said stem
ographer. "There is SO much individual
difference" he went on, that it is diff
cult to strike an average. But should
say that from one hundred and fifty to
one hundred and seventy-five words per
minute would be fair average. A per.
son who speaks three hundred words a
minute is talking very rapidly indeed. To
give you some idea of the fearful rate Of
speed represented by three hundred words
in sixty seconds, figure out how many
columns Of an ordinary newspaper would
he needed to report an hours talk with
such voluable speaker. You will find
that such talker, were the speech given
in full, could fill from ten to twelve col.
umns, solid type. On an average women
talk much faster than men. Many women
talk three hundred words per minute, ten
hours per day, every day of their lives,
and never seem to weary. But there is
little to commend in fast talking. If a
person has anything worth saying, there
is certainly time enough to say it well.

Slander. like mud, dries and falls off.
Another Legend Con ntradIcted,

Legends are the joy Of poets, while the
JOY of historians is to destroy legends. II
Schiller could return to the world, ho
would be disconsolate on learning that
the history Of William Tell is now
only fable; and he would experience
still deeper detection on discovering that
no one believes in his Don Carlos. His
tory has proven that such character
never existed, and the true Don Carlos re.
sembled him as a raven resembles q
swan.
Schiller's Don Carlos is not the histori.
cal character, but who shall dare say that
his drama is wholly false? He knew
how to embody in representative char
acter3 all the ideas which possessed the
consciences of men in the time of Philip
ii, and from act to act, from scene to
scene, in his great drama he found words
with which to paint an age and a
country. The documentary historian at
taches too much value to minute exact
ness as to facts, and, occupied entirely
with details, the great general truth
sometimes escapes him. This fact serves
as revenge for the poet. et.-Chautauquan.
