Courage must always have
foundation. Courage may be
swift but it is not rash; it may
nightly move the soul, but is new
or a mere sentiment. Truth is the
foundation of all real courage. A
man may be- mistaken as to his
conceptions of what is truo, but
before he is truly courageous he is
fully persuaded that no is right
because he has taken his stand up
on some truth he believed TO be
omnipotent.

PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

Sir Juliar. Pauncetote is an accom-
plished musician and can play anything
from an Era1d harp to an end mans
banjo, and when he gets down to reel
ing off Yankee Doodle one of the
strings is sure to give way.
One of the most eloquent things
said by the late George William Curtis,
OF friend about whom he was writ
ing, was: "He was so true that his i'm
pressions were like moral judgments
he was an additional conscience to his
friends" And this might well have
been written by another of Mr.. Curtis
himself.
The wife of Newton Beers, the act
or, of Bridgeport, Conn, gets $50, 600 as
the share of the fund of $500, 900 left in
trust by her great-uncle, c. FL. Taylor,
retired cotton planter OF Eutaw, Ala,
for his widow. The widow has just
died and Mrs. Beers is one of the ten
collateral heirs who take the residue.
She is known on the stage as Jessie
Lee Randolph.
DR.. Leonard Freeman, a prominent
young physician of Cincinnati, and one
of the Cincinnati quarantine officers,
has been stricken with consumption.
Freeman is an enthusiastic student of
bacteriologv, and has been giving espe-
cial attent ton to the Koch cures of con-
sumption. 1t is supposed that through
contact with consumption germs he
contracted the disease.
Photographs of the late Princess
Alexandria, daughter of King George
of Greece, hang in her fathers study
The king was devoted to her and still
mourns her deeply. In his social life
he is such a democrat that court cere-
mony has become almost obsolete in
Athens, as the king receives his visitors
on terms of equality, and chats with
them in most informal fashion.
The word 'blatherskite" given by
Bartlett as an Americanism is of Scot
tish origin. Blather, blether or blithe1
isfound in all three forms in innumera.
bic places in the writings of Scottish
authors, meaning to talk nonsense,
while skate, corrupted into skite, is an
untranslatable term of contempt. The
original meaning, but little changed in
the present usage, is Zone who talks
clustering nonsense"
Here are some figures worth quot
ing, figures which effectually settle the
question "Are Rudyard Kip 'ng's books
popular?" In England his book "Sol-
diers Three is in its sixty-frst thou-
sand; 1.-THE Story of the Gadsby's" and
