STEVENSON.
John o. Dreams Estimate of the Eccen-

John o. Dreams Estimate of the Eccen-
trio Genius.
At the time Mr.. Stevenson purchased
ais estate in Samoa writer for the
London Hawk, over the signature of
John o. Dreams, gave the following
gossip of what he was pleased to term
l wild, dainty, unearthly crcature:'
The fact is he says, THAT Steven
sons literary work is a mere excrcs-
,encc ON Il remarkable personality-if
4 personality may bcar an eXcrescence
and the man is SO much above litern-
.ure that some who know him do not
'eckon his books ut all; while Others
confuse him with his books. What n
pity it is that we cannot give n proper
picture of II man like Stevenson. No
living creature could say an i'll word
of him; every man that yer saw him
owed him from the first time of meet
ing, and | believe that the only beings
created by God who,did not feel drawn
to him were thuse dreadful, proper
women, who could not understand the
strangest bnntlins that yer Mother
Nature nursed for her very own y
in all my life l have never seer a
fellow who has such II gift Of attract
ing affection, and the queer thing is
that the affection once attracted al
ways remains with him, SO that he has
never lost IL friend nor made IN cnamy.
Moreover, by some miraculous sleight,
It happens that in whatever company
he is placed lie becomes first.
and that, too. without any eff
fort. AS soon as he opens his
mouth something falls from it which
forces you to heed him, and the
intense charm of the talk is SO moving
that most ,uen do not carr to check the
magic of it by interpolating words ef
their own: so that at IL time / fear
that Master Louis was acquiring q
trick of monologue which gained upon
him: but it did not matter: there is no
man. whom | cver knew who would not
be very content to let Stevenson pour
put his indcscribably bcautifulthought.
" know that ii | had the blessed
tuck to get the chance of another days
chat with him. and lie had the fancy
to go at it i'll monologue for Il dozen
hours, ! should take precious good care
to keep from interruption. Let mo
name one very singular thing. You
cannot remain long in S.evenson's
company without feeling like a
good man. You mny not be good,
mark you, any more than l am,
but everything that is bad in
you lies low, and every power that
makes for kindness, Tenderness, up.
Brightness and charity ecns us if it
must begin to flourish. The moro
think of this the more it puzzles me,
because the fellow is Just about rs far
from Icing n saint as anybody, and he
will sometimes emphasize lis CONVEX
sntion with effects OF binspl,emy which
are most broad and picturesque; yet
swearing from him becomes artistically
right On the instant. and everything he
snys seems clear and pure"

FOREIGN MAIL SUBSIDIES.

Vessels Flying the American Flag Get the
Most Money for Carrying Mail.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-"You ask ne

steamship companies. sis underlying
The granting of subsidies by the Ger.
nan, French, or English governments
20 their shipping interests? This ques.
lion ofsubsidies abroad has been greatly
exaggerated. Tho English Steamship
companies never yet received o
sithe of the bonus which is given to
ships flying the American flag when
carrying the United STATES mails. For
example, the North German Lloyd car
cied during the last fiscal year in
round numbers 1Os, 600, 600 grams in
letters and sos, 000, 900 grams in prints,
for which 1t received a compensation
of S15s,O00. whereas the international
Navigation company, with its two
vessels, the Paris and New York,
flying the American flag, carried
5000, 600 grams in letters and
1870, 900 grams in prints for which it re.
ceivcd n compensation of over $192, 900.
In addition thereto vessels under Amer,
lean registry receive SO q mile for every
outward mile they travel. l remember
that l made serious objections to Prince
Bismarck against the h%ardships i'm
posed upon the German Lloyd when
the first subsidy the Lloyd ever re-
seived for sending ships to Australia,
China and japan was negotiated,
when he cnrtly replied to me that one
need not expect in Berlin what seemed
so freely conceded in Washinptou."

President Cleveland, Attorney General

shall Arnold. The governor has dipped
his m%etaphorical pen into double dis
titled gall. His message will make
more of n sensation in tho world of
politics than did Du Mau.ier's ''Trilby"
among literary folk. He has been
working away at this thing for a nun.
Ter of weeks, and the message is a hot
one. The governor seems to think
Judge Woods exceeded his power in
granting the application for the fam
Gus injunction under which Debs and n
lot OF his followers were hauled up be-
fore the United States court. He has
an idea Judge Woods made n great mis-
take, and he will swipo that official to
the best of his ability.
Now it seems TINT there is a little
question Of construction of law or OF

among the first disturbances Of last
summer wa an ugly one down at Mt.

cut nll kinds of caPcrs, destroying
property belonging to a railroad com
pany that was being operated by a re-
ceiver appointed by a federal court.
Application was made to Marshal Brin.

swore in a lot Of deputies and tried to
protect the property belonging to the

Thereupon Mazshal Brinton repaired
