Miss Sally Hoops, Snaixville, KY. My
Dear Aunt: Your letter of April 1st
came to hand while was enjoying a
sumptuOus meal in the Sheriff's marble
palace. Please seal your letters more
carefully, as this one was open at one
end. l took palace car over the M. &
S. Road and reached the village of Long
Stop about 6P. NJ, in company with
very intimate friend Our friendship,
l should say, was very close. We were
bound to each. other with bands of iron.
We are stopping for a few days, (or
years. at the "Hotel De Cell" vulgarly
called the Cell House. We had decided
by the way to put up at the Foreign
Exchange" but little mild persuasion
on the part of our host caused us to
change our minds willingly. Being a
recent arrival, have had but little Op-
pOrtunity to look around. The dispO-
SitiOn to look around is not encouraged
here Contrary to current rumOr [
found many things about this hotel to
recommend it to the weary traveller.
First, it is a good place to rest, and they
wont turn one out if he has no money
to pay his board; on the contrary, they
rather encourage him to stay; second,
being built of stone it is perfectly fire
proof. The ambitious incendiary had
better never try his torch on the cell
house for it wont burn. Then again,
board is cheap. The landlord is most
genial host, and his clerks are all men
of mark-credit mark. The rooms are
not roomy, but large enough for small
man like me. never did like large
room. If one wants exercise he can
stand up, turn around, sit down and
take smoke. 1t is amazing how much
trouble they go to to make it pleasant
all our money, gold watches, diamonds,

is because they considered silence as
essential to the end of their vocation
the pursuit of knowledge, the develop
ment of the mind, the constant, unre-
mitting search after the hidden mystic
ries of science. They knew, none better,
that time wasted in frivolous chatter
was time lost; that once start the
tongue wagging upon whatsoever sub
ject, there was an end to serious think
ing, and an unhallOwed waste of the
few precious moments of their brief ex-
istence; and they recognized the fact
that however beneficial social converse
might prove, in the end "Speech was but
silver, Silence golden" Could we do
better than emulate their example, and
become converts to their belief? We
have never given Silence fair trial,
but during the twenty, thirty or forty
years of our life have gone on babbling
like the unceasing brook, fully as noisi
ly, and clearly to as little purpose. In
all that we have uttered during that
time, among the millions of words we
have spoken, where is the one we can
recall, to which we can point with pride;
where is the single glowing thought we
have originated and clothed in language
that will be known and remembered
duu lONou dlUoT we Shall nave CodS0U W
live? And we murmur because we are
restrained from adding still further to
the monument of rapid utterances
which has hitherto marked our paths in
life! The years which we are COM
PEELED to pass in durance may be turned
to good account if we will devote them
to study and reflection, particularly the
latter; and nothing is better adapted to
sober reflection than this constant 81
lence, even though it be compulsory
There is such thing as making of ne
cessity virtue, and here is our oppor-
tunity if we will but seize it. By de-
voting our period of bondage to honest
serious thinking, we may find hidden
within us springs of whose presence we
have been as ignorant as the veriest
stranger; yet whose waters may prove
rarer than anything we have ever given
to the world; and when once more the
seal of silence is lifted from our lips,
the world may be the richer for what
we say; for we will speak as though
those lips had been "touched with a
| burning coal" 1886.

Silence is Golden.
SHORN POET.

We look upon enforced silence as one
OF the heaviest crosses with which our
prison life is afflicted, and think we could
bear patiently all the rest, were we only
allowed to listen occasionally to that
ITO uS) sweetest of all music-the sound
of our own voice. Have we ever con-
sidered that this enforced silence. apart
even from the fact of it's necessity in
an institution of this kind (Which no
reasoning person will controversy is not
only misrepresented when spoken of as
a cross, but is actually one of the great
est of blessings, if we will but view it
as philosopher should. The monks
of the Middle Ages, who formed the
connecting link between the wisdom of
the past, and the enlightenment of later
years, and who carried within their
.cOwled pateS learning and wisdom suf-
ficient to have made them Individually
famous, had, among other matters post
ed conspicuously upon their walls this
one, BOnatm est T0ce1e-it is good to
be silent-and they lived and died in
the belief that the silence which their
secluded life allowed them was indeed
one of the greatest of blessings. Why
did they consider silence of such inesti-
mable benefit? These men were not
fools, if we except certain religious
exaltatiOn which may have pushed them
to excesses; on the contrary they repre-
sented all that was highest in the arts
and sciences; eruditiOn with them had
been pushed as far as it is in the prov
ince Of finite man to attain, and they
numbered within their ranks the pro-
foundest scholars of that, or of any age.
What then was their reason for setting
so great value upon what we are
prone to consider one of the worst con-
comitants of our intra- mural life? 1t

Ingalls, on Oratory.

"A number of metropolitan papers
have published John J Ingalls, interest
ing article on orators and oratory. He
says that Gas those terms are popular
ly understood, there is no such thing as
'impromptu or extemporaneous' speak
ing. 1t is mischievous idea, specially
harmful to the young, that oratory is
supernatural function, like the apostOl-
ic gift of tongue, by which speaker
can say anything interesting or valuable
about matters of which he knows moth
ing" He admits that there are certain
aptitudes, traits and acquisitions es-
sential to success, but asserts that "be-
hind and beneath all are study, prep
aration, discipline, knowledge of the
subject, and distinct perception of the
purpose to be accomplished
The paragraph devoted to history
of the never forgotten Grafton of Dan
iel Webster in reply to Mr.. Haynes is
interesting:
Webster's reply to Hayne, probably
the greatest forensic effort of the cent
ury and one of the greatest of all the
centuries, was delivered, it is often said,
upon the spur of the moment. The day
previous he argued causes in the SUI
preme court of the United States. In
the evening he wrote headlines upon a
few pages of nOtepaper that are still ex-

the Importance of the crisis, and feared
of the argument. But to Webster it
was only the eliminating hour of twen-
ty years of thought, devoted to the sub
jects Of the Union, the states and the
constitution. These had been the fam
iliar topics of his meditatiOns. He was
as we'll acquainted with them as farm
er with the aspect and boundaries
of his ancestral fields. With him it was
not the deplOratiOn of an undiscovered
country. He knew its coasts and from
tiers. His speech was splendid sum-
mary and rehearsal of precepts that had
been laid down before. 1t was the goal
to which his footsteps had long tended.
The notes of Webster's speech taken by
the reporters of that day have been pre-
served. It was withheld for revision
so long that there was a clamOr for the
publication. AS it finally appeared,
marks of elaborate correction and pol
iShing are evident. The apOstrOphe to

MR.. ROBIN REDBREAST.

I'VE are watching you Robin!" A little girl
And a trim little rascal are YOU
With your little black eyes, and dark cap on your
head,
And your vest of reddish brown hue.
Your coat of ff-drab, in the back fits you WE'LL
And tiiI is stylish too very yaiuf much LIKE like
Which we oft hear referred to as "Spike.'
A pert. dapper fellow you are Robin. dear,
Though naughty Miss Spring fooled you so;
With her soft honey'd whispers enticing you
Then to greet you with two feet of snow
But Miss Spring felt quite sorry for what she had
And she sighed in despair of your life:
With her apron she enlivened the fire OF the sum-
Both for you and Dame Robin, your wife.
All around everywhere. the ground is now bare
And the trees are beginning to bud;
Where we with your wings would quickly repair
Not stay here a-hOpping in mud!
You are a real gormand, you plump-breasted
robin,
Nine big angle-worms has your head sent a-bob-
bin
Into that little stomach of yours!"
With mischief, the eyes of the Robin kept dane
Viewing slyly the tree DER his head
Where jealous Dame Robin sat pOuting and
glancing-
Wondering what the little girls said.
With bead-eyeS a-glOwing,
There, sure, is no knowing,
What might the sage Robin not say;
And books full of meaning
From his eyes kept aStreaming
AS he chirped out his soft rOundelay.
In those branches over head
Perhaps Robin said:

By my nest built of clay.

With its five little eggs Speckled-blue.

Scandalizing Justice.

1t is rarely in the administration of
justice that such case arises as that
which has occupied the minds of the
people of Eau Claire and vicinity dur
ing the past year, and never before has
there been an instance of prosecuting
officers trying to keep person indicted
for murder out of the precincts of Jail
while the defendants counsel try their
utmost to prevent their client going at
liberty. Such, however, is the situation
in the case of the woman Russell, un-
der Indictment for murder in that city,
with the particulars of whose case the
public is quite familiar
This woman has been once tried for
the crime of which she stands charged,
and the result of the trial was overturn-
ed owing to the scandalOus and mali
ciOus conduct of the prosecuting officer.
She may or may not be guilty of the
crime charged, but she has a well found
ed claim to public sympathy by reason
of the unexampled devices which have
been reSOrted to in the name of Justice
has long since lost the main character
istics of judicial proceeding, carried on
for the furtherance Of justice 10 has
become nothing more than prolonged
legal duel, in which falsehood and NAL
ice seem to be the main agencies at
work on behalf of the state, and legal
chicanery on the part of the defense.
No one in this WOmanS position would
hesitate to fight as hard as she has
fought and is still fighting for her life
and liberty. No public agencies, influ-
enced only by the good of the commune
ty which they represent, would have
pursued such course as has been pur-
sued toward her. The thing has become
grave public scandal and ought to
have been brought to an effective close
after the supreme court of the state had
expressed it's unqualified condemnation
of the proceedings which had already
taken place. Instead Of such being the
case, however, the prosecution seems to
have redoubled its efforts in precisely
the direction which it had followed
from the outset.
The present condition in which the
prosecution now stands affords very
convincing evidence of the wrongful
ness of the entire proceeding The
State of Wisconsin, if not the County
of Eau Claire, owes it to the majesty
OF the law that the dlSgraceful spectacle
be brought to close. The states at
torney has the power to step in and vim
dicate the right of the state to have the
decencieS of public life fully regarded.
The prosecution of the defendant under
the law ought to be conducted to
speedy close, freed from the technicali-
ties and passion which now surround it.
If guilty she ought long ago to have
been brought to punishment; if inno-
cent she ought long ago to have been
acquitted. It is an easy matter, if the
state so desire, to put this case to a
speedy trial and to dispense with any
further participation in it of the local
prosecuting agencies. Unless this is
done there is no saying how much more
scandal may be evoked before the mat
ter drops from public view.-St. Paul
Dispatch.
