MIXED METAPHORS.
An Example of Gross Errors, Ancient
and Modern.


and Modern.
almost every one who writes many
sentences even in a familiar and episto-
larry way employs certain figures Of
speech. 1t is habitual and instructive
TO make use Of words in q metaphorical
sense, that is, to set forth thought
and make plain a meaning by bringing
in sensible object or suggesting a
visible act which bears some resent
blance to it,
Often We become so thoroughly ac-
customed to the use of term in its
metaphorical sense that We forget that
it has sensible or material meaning
apart from the figure of speech, and
when we forget this we are in danger of
mixing orr metaphors.
When Sir Boyle Roche made his ia
nous speech, Il smell rat l see him
floating in the air but mark me, sir,
| will nip him in the bud" his ideas
were clear enough, but he lost sight of
rats, air and buds in the thought that
was in his mind.
If the reader could also lose sight OF
them. this passage might perhaps APP
pear eloquent. But they obtrude them
selves very humorously upon the
mind.
The following was the peroration of
IN orator at political meeting not
long ago:
The time has come when We must
leave off voting for ornamental princi-
pies and vote to put bread and butter
in our pockets y
\ scarcely less mixed up series of
metaphors than Sir Boyle's was recently
employed by newspaper in an Ameri-
can city. Several Aldermen had beer
accused of accepting brides, and the
newspaper said, with reference to the
affair:
1T is reasonable to expect that such
of his associates as are innocent of such
crime will leave no stone unturned to
purge themselves OF all suspicion, and
exhaust every expedient to smoke the
rascals ont Youths Companion.

Money to Develop the Industries OF the
Country.

Railroads are now wanted by the
people who are mining for the better
development Of the mining industry
of all kinds. The trouble in building
the additional roads is a want of
money to build them. The people
who are owning the mines and have
silver for sale, are looking for the
means to do the work in the business
OF mining. Every projected railroad
for such purpose is by its company
sending to Europe for help to build
the property, and is unable to use
their silver for the work by reason of
the position of the government and
gold interests of the country on the
subject of silver, and must go out of
the country or to other sources to Dor
row the money for the enterprise How
do the people like such a picture in
the most prosperous enterprising ma
ton of the world? Is it to last? Can
the silver now heaped upon the dumps
be used to build such roads and de-
Velop all the industries that can be
built in the country, or shall the build
ers of the wealth of the nation
be compelled to borrow of and
pay interest to foreign capitalists to
enable them to proceed with the bust
ness of develping the country while
holding silver enough to do it?
Not more than third of the op-
portunities for great kinds of business
in the country are yet taken adyan-
tage of. All the balance want money
and men for their development. Will
the government prevent the business be-
ing done by striking out half Of the
money of the nation? How far will
the eighty millions of dollars of silver
bullion go toward building the addi-
tional industries of the people? How
far will the gold Of the country 90 to-
ward doing 1t, Il it is the only money |
of the people?-Ex.

The AnecdOte I'm History.

There is story going the rounds
Of the newspapers to the effect that
during the siege Of Petersburg, Gen.
Lee turned aside from the grave
duties and dangers Of his position to
pick up and replace on the limb of a
tree nest full Of young birds that had
been knocked down by Federal she'll.
A similar story has been told of Lin
coin to illustrate his tenderness of
heart and the probability is that
the fable originated away back in the
early dawn of civilization. IL is most
" so with the anecdotes which figure
in the history of great men and events.
When they are not borrowed from the
ancients and handed down through
successive generations, they are man
ufactured by skillful writer's to suit
particular characters and occasions.
We may be quite sure that Gen. Lee
never paused in the course of Ia battle
to look after distressed birds. He was
man Of fine feeling, undoubtedly,
but it does not follow that he was in
the habit of making himself sentiment
tally absurd. The story, in short, is
not characteristic, and so it has no his,
torical value A distinguished mans
fame is harmed rather than helped
when he is thus represented as man
ifesting himself in an illogical and i'm
probable manner. 1t would be easy
to believe of Lee that he stopped to
ease the pain of wounded soldier, or
that he gave his rations to hungry
prisoner; but it is not reasonable to
suppose thai his instinct of sympathy
betrayed him into the girIish act
which this story attributes to him.
And thus it IS with hundreds Of other
anecdotes that are used to impart an
enlivening flnvor to the dreariness of
history.-Ex.

istration showing his legal right to
stay here. Those who failed to regis
ter as thus required are liable to i'm

asked to declare the act unconstitu-
tlonal because 1t involves depriya.

law, and the infiction of cruel pun.

these objections are not good, and that
the Chinaman must 60. There are
about 100000 of these people in the
United States, and comparatively few
of them have complied with the pro
visions of the law, having been assur-
ed by their friends and advisers that
it would be declared null and void.
The discrimination against them is di.
rect and absolute, and the court says
that it is constitutional. They have
no chance of appeal to another tri-
bunal. The case is finally settled,
and they must abide by the eonse-
quences, whatever may be thought Of
the act in point either of justice or of
expedienee.
1t is probable that China will adopt
policy of retaliation, and expel all
Americans from her territory. She
has submitted to several similar dis
examinations, it is true, but this one
reaches a point of unfriendliness that
she can hardly fail to resent. 1t is no
longer possible for her to doubt that
public sentiment in this country will
be satisfied with nothing short of the
practically complete exclusion of her
subjects. The prejudice against them
may be unreasonable, but it is positive
and Incorporating, and the drastic
law which represents it is a notice
that is useless for her to make any
further requests or protests in the
matter. There is nothing left for her
but the alternative of doing by our
people within her jurisdiction as we
have done by hers within reach of our
laws. The amicable relations of the
two countries can not stand such a
strain, of course. There will probably
be mutual withdrawal of diplomatic
representatives, and practical sus-
pesion of commercial intercourse. 1t
is feared by some competent Judges
Of the situation that war may also en-
sue in the logical course of things /;
and certainly wars have come to pass
before now on much smaller provoca-
tons. China is not a warlike nation,
strictly speaking; but neither is it a
nation sworn to peace under all CON
ditions. Its naval force is superior
to ours, and it has millions of men
who would be quickly modified for
military purposes. The news from
that quarter will therefore be awaited
with considerable interest There is
material in the case for serious trou-
BILE, should the Emperor of China de-
eide to take the risk; and it remains
to be seen what course he viii choose.
