MAKING POETRY.
There Is Often Hard Work as Well n
Inspiration.

There Is Often Hard Work as Well as
Inspiration.
There are yet some persons left who
fancy that poetry is the product of a
fine frenzy; that the poet of genius
awakes from sublimated cataleptic
trance to fill page after page with eff
fortress beatitudes. A number of man
uscript sheets of Longfellow's Sex
celsior," which may be found in Har-
ward, should not only explode this
theory, writes a Boston correspondent,
but give hope to manv discouraged
amateur. AS Longfellow first con-
structed the first verse of this poem it
ran:
The shades of night were falling fast
AS through an Alpine village passed
youth who, as the peasants sung,
Responded in unknown tongue
Excelsior.
This was manifestly weak, as the
only obvious reason why the Alpine
peasants sung was that they might af-
ford rhyme for the youths response
in an unknown tongue. A second trial
at the verse, however, not only failed
to improve it, but arranged it in such
form that it is difficult to believe Long
fellow guilty of the fault. The two
last lines of the verse were made to read:
a youth who bore pearl of price,
banner with the strange device.
There are not many, even among
the magazine poets of to-day, who
would consent to refer to a banner as
''pearl of price" But the poet had
by this time three lines to his liking,
and the substitution of "a youth who
bore mid snow and ice" completed the
verse as it has been read and spoken
throughout the length and breadth of
the land. All of which goes to show
that the genius of the poet is in the
conception, and that the production of
the poem, being quite another matter,
lies solely in the direction of patient
labor.

A WAR FOR LIFE.
'prslss Of the indian to PerpetuAte.

Struggles of the Indian to Perpetuate
His Existence.
Whatever the Indian has been in the
past, and in spite of his present condi-
tion-deplorabl as it certainly is-our
nation has still some time left to deal
with these people honorably and just
ly, as tits the duty of God-fearing
people to do writes w. Thornton Park
er, NJ d., in Home and Country. They
will respond in time, but it is not to be
wondered at if they seem incredulous
at first. 1t is wicked to condemn them
as beasts fit only for determination; i'm
prove them, educate them. This can be
done by dealing justly with them. No
words of mine can sufficiently condemn
the cowardly saying ''that the only
good Indian is dead Indian!'
An Austrian officer once said to me
that he considered the British soldiers
the bravest on the face of the earth
because ''you cannot conquer them or
whip them, y0aE mast kiH them" 1t is so
with,our Indians, they neither give nor
ask for quarters; this is easily under
stood when we consider how they have
always been situated.
1t has been with them war for life,
struggle for existence, and disputes
have always been settled, man-fashion,
on the field of battle.
Those who know most about our ma
tive Americans (our so-called Indians)
respect them most; those who have
lived longest with them love them
most; the most brutal and cowardly of
our frontiersmen hate them most, and
they have reason to do so. Indian char
acter is contradictory. They are brave,
but cautious and generous; dashing in
attack, stubborn in defense; enduring,
patient, stoical, hardy; fond of feast
ing, but ready for days of marching
and fighting, with scarcely any nour-
ishment, alert, unforgiving when
wronged, revengeful, cruel and treach-
erous in war; loving as friends, indul-
gent and affectionate as parents; sym
pathetic in adversely, eloquent in coun-
sci; by nature deeply and truly re-
hgious.
Our native red Americans, unlike
those of New Mexico and Central and
South America, are believers in God,
although they call Him the Great
Spirit" They are absolutely free from
profanity and hypocrisy. In short,
they are the noblest race of aborigines
on the face of the earth

There is no medicine so often needed
in every home and so admirably adapted
to the purposes for which it is intended,
as Chamberlain's Pain Balm. Hardly a
week passes but some member of the
family has need of it. A toothache. or
headache may be cured by it. A touch
of rheumatism. or neuralgia quoted.
The severe pain of a burn or scald
promptly relieved and the sore healed in
much less time than when medicine has
to be sent for. A sprain may be
promptly treated before inflammation sets
in, which insures cure in about one
third of the time otherwise required.
Cuts and bruises should receive i'm
mediate treatment before the parts be-
come swollen, which can only be done
when Pain Balm is kept at hand. A
sore throat may be cured before it be-
comes serious. A troublesome corn may
be removed by applying it twice day
for a week or two. A lame back may be
cured and several days of valuable time
saved or pain in the side or chest re-
lIeved without paying doctor bill. Pro-
cure a so cent bottle at once and you
will never regret it. For sale by Blakeley
& Houghton Druggists.

Mrs. Richard Irwin. Of No."12 West
Thirty-sixth street, who is prominent in

tablishment of free hospital and dis
pensary for consumptives in this city.
She has interested such men as DIR. A.
L. Loomis and DIR. Charles E. Quimby,
who has been DR.. Loomis's assistant for
years. and score or more OF her wealthy
friends, one of whom, Mrs. Herman
Aldrich, gave $1,000 to start the move
ment. A meeting was held yesterday at
Mrs. Twins home to perfect the organi-
cation. About fifty women and half a
dozen men were present.
DIR. Loomis made an address. in which
he said it was the death knell of a con-
sumptive to be sent to one of the public
hospitals.
"A certain relief, II not a cure, for
consumptives," said Dr. Loorhis. may
be afforded If dispensary can be es-
tablished here where they can be treated
according to the most improved meth

the dispensary ought to be able to send
them to "a hospital near the mountains.

has had the best of results. The lives
of many shop girls and clerks, who can
not receive proper treatment as things
exist now, might be saved by, such an

and Is Found Dying.

James Mason. a telegraph lineman In
the employ of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, was shocked by an electric wire
in Newark yesterday. and died before
the ambulance could reach the hospital.
Mason assembled a pole at Hamilton and
Mulberry streets about 4 o'clock In the

Mason was joining wires and suddenly
dropped his pliers. His companions saw
that something was the matter. His
arms were over cross-arm, so he could
not fall, but he seemed unable to move.
Help was sent up the pole forthwith. A
rope was put under his arm and run
over the cross-arm, and he was lowered
to the groud. He was unconscious. The
patrol took him to St, Michael's Hos
pital. He was a resident OF Trenton.
