One of Barnum's Inducem ents.

About the time Blind Tom started out
to show his wonderful gifts Macon de-
veloped musical prodigy, though in a
different line. In the alley back of Eads,
Neel & Co.'S store was a blacksmith
shop owned by a man named English, a
quiet sort of a man and very popular in
I his business. One day he bought his
three-year-old boy drum-it might
have been gift from Santa Claus-and
great was his astonishment when the
baby ratified away on the drum with the
skill of a professional.
+. Of course such precocious boy soon
became known to Macon, and mention
sof it fell under the eye of P. T. Barnum
who was then in his prime. The great
Snowman sent an agent to Macon as
fast as steam and coach could bring
him. After good deal of parleying
the agent succeeded in securing young
English, it being understood that his
mother would accompany him. Then
the New York papers were filed with
mention of 1.-THE Infant Drummer" and
for years he was one of the features Of
Barnum's museum. (Ga.) Tel

Sir Walter Scott's Literary Blunders.


1t seems inevitable that Sir Walter
Scott should sometimes err. When an
author is throwing off brilliant romances
at fever heat, in electric sympathy with
teeming brain and tingling pulse. he
cannot be expected to be overcareful.
No one knew better than he-a famous
horseman himself-the limits of endur-
ance in a horse. He makes Wilfred Of
Ivanhoe advise his enemy, the Templari
to take fresh steed for the fierce tilt
he was to run with him. Wilfred him
self had no chargers OF remount; he had
but one steed, the gift of Isaac of York
and was compelled to run five successive
courses in rapid succession on the unfor-
tunate animal Horse and man were
both sheathed in armor. The day was
hot and sultry. No steed that ever was
foaled could have stood the ordeal. But
this may be hypercritieism. Is it hyper
criticism also to point out that in the
same novel full century is dropped in
such sort that one Of Richard rs knights
holds converse with contemporary Of
the Conqueror, who was Richards great
great-grandfather? Or that the "Fair
Maid of Perth" goes to mass in the after
noon, whereas mass cannot be celebrated
save in the earlier part of the day?-Bel-
ford's Review. t.54---

Just Like a Man.

When a man slips on a banana
peel or anything else his face lights up
with astonishment rarely shown on any
other occasion. He invariably stops,
turns and mentally marks the location
of the article, as if he might come that
way again some day and it would be
just as well to be posted; then looks at
his foot quite as curiously, probably
dropping a casual observation OF two
concerning a possible future state of ex-
istence. None of these things tend to
modify the fact that he slipped and that
he is no more likely to slip again on the
same thing than he is to be struck by
lightning. New York Herald.

Self Conceit versus Self Confidence.

While conceit may produce mega
lively agreeable effect it cannot be called
a positive charm. We do not think a
person more charming because of his
conceit, and we do not encourage it in
those who are dear to us. A parent re-
presses rather than stimulates it in his
child, and a person who should plainly
and laboriously cultivate it would not
be in peril of canonization. 1t is doubt
full if conceit ever accompanies real
greatness. A great man, indeed, may
have the self confidence that springs
from the consciousness of power; but
consciousness of power is very different
from conceit of it. The one is fact;
the other fancy.-George William
Curtis in Harper's.

Arizona's Petrified Forest,

You can walk clear across on their
backs" one soon reaches the northern
edge of the forest, which covers hun
dreds of square miles. Unless you are
more hardened to wonderful sights than
am you will almost fancy yourself in
some enchanted spot. You seem to
stand on the glass of a gigantic kaleido-
scope, over whose sparkling surface the
sun breaks in infinite rainbows. You
are ankle deep in such chips as I'll war
rant you never saw from any other wood
pile.
What do you think of chips from trees
that are red moss agate and amethyst
and smoky topaz and agate of every hue?
Such are the marvellous splinters that

specimen from the heart of a tree there
years ago which had around the stone

royal purple amethyst, and on the other
an equally beautiful array of smoky
topaz crystals. Nicholas.

THE ISSUE.

-Four remarkable interviews were given
out Saturday night by Chairman Carter,
of the republican national committee, Sec
retary Charles Foster, Senator Sherman
and Senator Aldrich. The essential point
of all is contained in these sentences from
Mr.. Carter's remarks: "I think that the
people understand that both branches of
congress will necessarily be democratic in
the event of President Harrison's defeat.
We cannot lose the presidency and save
either the senate or the house." In this
statement Secretary Foster, Senator Sher-
man and Senator Aldrich agreed. Nor is
there any doubt that it is true. Every
voter should understand that he casts his
ballot on November sth, not merely as
between Benjamin Harrison and Grover
Cleveland, but as between our present gov
ernmental policies of protection, reciproc-
ity and sound finance on the one hand,
and free trace, the abandonment of the rec
iprocity and the restoration of state bank
currency on the other The question be-
fore the voter is: Do you wish the policies
under which America has achieved the
prosperity that you see around you re-
versed, ORR do you wish to see them contin-
ued? The man who desires to have these
policies reversed will vote the democratic
ticket.
