which he has discovered therein and
whose action has been really conscien-
tious and disinterested. hut the public
is prone to attribute to him unworthy
motives, and it is not easily convinced
to the contrary. Probably there is an
inherent tendency in human nature to
scott at men who seem to set themselves
up as better than the majority of their
fellows, which would ensure to the re-
former rather cool welcome under any
circumstances. The Greeks got very
tired of hearing Aristides called the
just, even when there was no doubt that
he deserved the title. But tn Q m aiority
OF political reformers of the present day
nave to battle not only against this ten
uency, but also against the suspicion
That they are not just, that they are re-
formers from spite or because they think
there is something in it for themselves.
1t one asks why this is SO let him
turn his eyes in the direction of New
York and fix them upon certain distin-
guished gentlemen who, a year ago, were
denouncing Hill and the machine in the
most vigorous language they could COM
mand, but are now supporting both. Let
him co utrast the Mr.. Gaynor of year
ago pursuing Boss McKane, with the Mr..
Gaynor of today hesitating to take his
name off the Democratic ticket Tor fear
that it would hurt Hill. Let him con-
trast the Mr.. Coudert of year ago unit
ing with other. Democrats in an address
to the people in which it was declared
that the Hill machine and the Tammany
machine had prostituted the Democratic
party to their own uses, and had
brought it to the verge of destruction
with the Mr.. Coudert of today. openly
avocating HIPS election to the highest
office in the. state and declaring that the
movement to wrest New York city from
the clutches of Tammany is all "bosh.s
Then he will know the answer to his
question. Political reformers are dis
trusted simply because the great major
ity of the men who have appeared in
that role have given ample reason for
distrust by such utterly inconsistent per-
formances as those of Judge Gaynor and
Mr.. Coudert In distrusting them the peo-
pie are only applying the lesson of expe.
rience.

Some interesting "reminiscences of
Sarah Bernhardt's early career have been
published by M. Duquesnel, who wa,
her first manager. In 1866 M. Duquesnel
was Chiilys coadjutor as directeur of
the Odeon, and was badly in want of
clever young actress The CONSERVATORY
was hopeless, and the jeunes premieres
of the Boulevard theatres were nearly all
verging on forty. Suddenly M. Duquesnel
heard of the Dsmoselle Rernhardt who
had made her debut without notice
at Theatre Francois, and had played in
one of Theodore Barriers plays. He met
Barrier in the Palais Royal one day, and
asked him his opinion about the young
actress. The dramatist was not COM
plimentary, and compared Sarah Bern
hardt to a dragons sabre, but added
that, after all. she was young and pos
sessed the full complement of teeth.
The Odeon manager could not find the
address of the young actress, but she
heard that he wanted her, and wentRto
him. She was ushered in AS a Chinese
woman by M. Duquesnel's English man
servant, person who was very fond of
sherry. The Chinese woman entered,
and the manager had before him a vision
of beauty-Sarah Bernhardt at twenty,
Her supposed connection with the Celes-
tials was due to her peculiar dress. Be-
hind the actress walked a nurse carry
ing baby. The first few words spoken
by the alleged Chinese convinced M.
Duquesnl that he had to deal with no
ordinary person. and he soon engaged
her. Chilly, however. thought her thin,
but agreed to take her at pound
week. She made her debut on the I'M
perial fete day, August Is, as Article, in
"Phedre," and Sylvia in "Jeu de Pam
our ct du Hasard." She played Art:e
all right, but Chilly maintained that
she was dead failure as Sylvia. He
wanted to discharge her at the end OF
the month, but NJ. DuquesneI offeredsto
pay her salary out Of his own, so she
remained
Madame Bernhardt was badly received
by the critics, but the public and espec-
tally the students, soon understood aud
appreciated her. Her first success came
in the role of Anna Dandy in the Ikea"
of Alexandria Dumas. The house was

Hill's principal organ in New York city
is the New York Sun. 1t has always
been true to him, and has known no
variableness or shadow of turning. 1t
is interesting therefore, to see how it is
supporting him, for it is to be presumed
that it is giving him just the kind of
support that he wants. Now the Sun is
booming Hill on the strength of his op-
position to the policy of the Democratic
administration. Senator HILL" it asys,
sis clear of participation in all the bung-
ling and sneaking and niggling that
marked the abandonment of the consti-
tutional tariff and the patching up of the
Acknowledgements tariff He has
no responsibility for the great desertion.
He is free and clear from the dishonor.
He stands before the voters of New
York not as culprit to be punished, but
as a good public servant to be rewarded.
In other States the party has been pun
ished for the sins of it's unfaithful repre-
sentative, and the people have full reason
to approved and not condemn him."

ANNALS DYING PLACES.

From the Youths Companion.
The llama, or guanaco-Otnerwise
written huanaco-has been called the
South American representative of the
camel of the east, although in appear
ance it more resembles an antelope.
Its nature is gregarious. Usually the
herds are small. but sometimes they
number several hundreds. All the
more remarkable, therefore. is the
huanaeo's habit of withdrawing from
its fellows and seeking the dyingplace
Of its kind when it feels death APP
proaching. That il has such habit is
perfectly well authenticated. Darwin
described it almost fifty years ago, and
his statements \ late writer, MIR. W.
II. Hudson, says:
The best known of these dying or
burial places are on the banks of the
Santa Cruz and Gallegos rivers, where
the river valleys are covered with dense
primeval thickets of bushes and
stunted trees. There the ground is
covered with the bones of countless
generations. The animal says Oar
win. in most cases must have crawled,
before dying, beneath and among the
bushes

prominently social in its habits; a
dweller all its life long on the open.

But The llama is not the only animal
that withdraws from its fellows at the
approach of death The horse is an
other. Here. again, Mr.. Hudson is a
competent witness.
