TOPICS UP TO DATE.

There are certain people in every
large community whose dispositions
condemn them 10 their " society.
st. Paih Is not free from them. but one
OF them Is SO conspicuous as 10 dim the
Hister OF his contemporaries. He is an
intelligent man, but morbldly conceited,
ana because an education availeth little
III society if you eat with your knife,
rails increasingly at his betters, and
calls them "our Goldfish aristOcracy."
NOT because lie hates them OH, bless
you, no-but because they fail to recog.
nlze the nimbus of genius about his
head. and fail to welcome him and his
pie knife to their inner circles.

which he thinks is his.
For all these cOnSpirators he cherishes
Il carefully nnrsed hatred that is indie

ever. he has developed d tendency which
proves that he is even beneath an hon

paper by disseminating anonymous lei
tiers, abusing every body; and with that
rare discrimination which ever marks
the cad. liz sends them to literary women

pertinence. Who is he? 1t would give
iim too much Passing notoriety to name

himself. And it all gees to prove that
universal education is not an unmixed
blessing, and that IT Is a difficult feat to
make a silken receptacle for money out

The arguments which the Pioneer
Press uses regarding the Democratic
candidate for sheriff are of that deep,
abstruse kind which consists of sense

these impressions have faded from the
