Genius superior to Conditions.

1t might be conjcctured perhaps that
Scott's and Byron's genius was favored by
the circumstances of their birth; that the
wild scenes in which SCOTS infancy was
passed and the local legends with which his
head was filed determined him to ballad
writing, and that the ballad writing led
naturally in its turn to romance, and TINT
the high station and undisciplined liberty
of Byron's childhood fostcrcd that passion
ute self will and brooding Imagination
which showed themselves in his fierce,
scornful and moody verse This. we say,
might perhaps be conjcctured with some
probability, and the like might be said of
Wordsworth's infancy. But how shall we
maintain that the conditions of Keats
cockney birth i'll II livery stable or his edu-
cation in a dissecting room favored the
growth of that most delicate and rich tyne
of almost Hellenic clearness and beauty of
Imagination?
And how shall we maintain that Dickens
mental tasks in the corking of backing
bottles fostered the growth of that wonder
ful humor and that microscopic accuracy
of vision which filled the world with laugh
ter and with inimitable carcaturc such as
no comedy, not even Mollere's, had antici-
pated? Again, who would have VEN
tured to predict that n wild, dcspotic Irish
evangelical like Patrick Bronte, banished
to the bleakest of Yorkshire moors, would
have been the father of children so eager,
original and vivid in their reveries as those
who eventually produced the unique pas
sion of Ellis and Currcr Bells -enius?-

Napoleon rs n Shatchen.

Mime. Vincent, a prolific writer ON his
torical themes, has recently completed a
sketch of Napoleon Bonaparte's match
making proclivities According to her re-
searches, it would seem that the general
WAS the greatest matchmaker that ever
lived. After repeated refusals the doughty
little soldier himself finally won the hand
of Josephine and devoted his matrimonial
instincts to the affairs of others. No ex.
cuse was admitted from bachelor. To of
hcers who pleaded that they might be
killed i'll battle he answered, The more
reason for haste" 10 those who urged
that they could not find wife, BE that
my care" he said, and the same evening the
affair would be arranged. The poor re-
ceived dowries and trousseaux.
One day by decree the emperor married
off COCO soldiers at once. Another day his
great court dignitaries were Obliged en-
masse to marry. While the general was
still in his apprenticeship, one might have
day in which to fall in love and court his
bride of Napoleon's selection, but later
there was no question of night for refiec
ton or an hour for wooing. No sooner
thought than said; no sooner said than done

His Ability Beyond Criticism
From tie Cape Charles Headlight.

FROM Tic cape Cnarles Headlight
So far, reports from all the county
and city conventions which have been
held, Col. Charles T. O'Ferrall has a
clear majority Of delegates elected to
the State convention. Without speak
ing disparagingly of any of the csndi.
dates for the gubernatorial chair. for
they are all good men. we cannot Sc 2
how this commonwealth can ignore the
claims and JUST of Colonel O'Ferrall's
aspirations TO be Governor of Virginia.
No man, in our Judgment, has done
more for the advancement Of Democratic
principles of the country, both in and
olt O. the halls OF the nation, and whose
ability is beyond criticism, even by his
enemies.
The TRADE made upon him by one
Mr.. Alexander should not have a
feathers weight upon the minds of true
Democrats and patriots, knowing that
all he has said is through malice, pref.
udice and evil notions, TO defeat, il
possible, one OF the most deserving,
manly and outspoken exponents of the
principles of Democracy in the State of
Virginia. Stand by him, Democrats,
and make him your chief magistrate for
the next term. Reward him for his
valuable services, which Is matter of
history. and you will have nothing to
regret.

! a ellp pse Of .he pitcairn 1.,anaer..

The good ship Tam o. Shanter sailed out
of the Golden Gate ON the Esd of August,
1892, bound to New York from San Fran
cisco. Nothing of particular interest oc-
CURED until we made Pitcairn island on
the 18th day Of September, 95 days out
The weather was exceedingly fine, but as
there was such n tremendous sea running
we hardly expected any of the islanders
would be able to come off to us. However,
large boat called Victoria soon hove in
sight, in which there were Is men. With
great difficulty they came alongside and
were soon on board. Their boat was heay-
ny laden with many kinds of delicious
fruits, vegetables and native made baskets
ana relics of one sort and Hnother
The Pitcairners reported that there were
l3l souls on the island, all in good health.
a lunch had been prepared for these good
people in the dining saloon, which they all
appeared to enjoy very much. but before
taking u mouthful they all stood round the
table and sang hymn of Thanksgiving
Their voices blended most tremendously in
the different parts, which was really very
effective.
As it was already very dark, we felt
Obliged to say the sad words "goodby'' to
our kind friends, yet they were loath to
leave us. They assured us it would be i'm
possible to land on the island before day
light on account of the heavy surf, as land
ing in boats is at all times difficult They
sang Good Night" then, rs they were
leaving us, gave three loud cheers for Cap
tain Peabody and the Tam O'Shanter,
wished us pleasant passage, and in a
short time we were miles away from Pit
cain island.-Cor. Boston Transcript.
