The MAVERICK Case. Again.

The newly installed British home
secretary, having been duly beseeched.
with much shedding Of tears, to reopen
the agitated case OF Mrs. Florence
Maybrick, who Is serving a life sem
tence for the removal of a no longer
interesting husband by poison, has. the
cable informs US, gallantly consented
to donate to that episode at his early
convenience some OF his powerful
thoughts. Whereat the hysterical
champions of the amiable murderess
in question are exceedingly grateful.

THAT this inquiry" observes the

all brave and honorable Englishmen
may well be bitterly ashamed. She
was tried before a Judge who disclosed
unmistakable symptoms Of in

cruel and iniQuitous sentence. She
was the victim of the grossest unfair

or was arbitrarily rejected In the first
place, clearly establishing her inno-
cence. To the everlasting disgrace Of
the British government, however, this
prosecuted woman has never hereto
fore been able to obtain a hearing.
For some mysterious reason she has
been treated with a remorseless sever

Both in England and America she has
had innumerable friends and sympa-
thizers, and these have been unceasing

home secretary opposed to this pres

blood-stained tyrant of the middle
ages"
But 1t is a trifle early. as yet, to in
dulge too freely in civilizations. The
new British home secretary Is, to be
sure. Tory. which fact. rightly or
wrongly, does not recommend him to
American favor; but even Tory Of

powers of his Office in effecting the
practical notification of the statutes

unsettle the foundations of British

Very Silly Tactics.

The Philadelphia Inquirer weakens
the hold obtained through its other
wise effective championship OF Sena-
tor Quay by Its continued resort to per-
sonal ridicule and abuse Of those who
differed from its view Of public duty
during the recent fight. We do not
question our contemporaries right to
censure specific acts indicative Of bad
motives, judgment or faith; that is a
part Of its duty as a newspaper. But
It ought not to permit its columns to
be used as a vehicle for the gratifica-
ton Of individual malice or ill-will.
We have in mind the Inqulrer's re-
peated taunts at an eminent Lacka-
wanna county Republican leader,
whose offence consists of having done
honest, sincere. and, so far a. IL went,
effective work In behalf Of Governor
Hastings. Our Philadelphia contem-
porary makes no specific charges

Kind -HeartednesS to Children.

Blessed be the hand that prepares a
pleasure for a child, for there is no say
ing when and where it may again
bloom forth. Does not almost every
body remember some kind-hearted man
who showed him kindness in the
happy days of childhood? The writer
of this recollects, when a barefooted lad,
he stood at the wooden fence Of lit
tie garden in his native village, while
with longing eyes he gazed on the flow
ers which were blooming there in the
brightness of Sunday morning. Their
owner came forth from his little cot
tage. He was wood-cutter, and spent
the whole week at work in the woods.
He had come into the garden to gath
er flowers to place in the button-hole Of
his coat when he went to church. He
saw the boy and breaking off the
most beautiful of his carna-
tions, he gave it to him. Neither
the giver nor the receiver spoke a
word, and with bounding steps, the
boy ran home. And now here, at vast
distance from that home, after so many
years, the feeling Of gratitude which
agitated the breast of that boy ex-
presses itself on paper. The carnation
has long since withered, but now it
blooms afresh.

Rio de Janeiro the capital Of Brazil,

the Pittsburg Dispatch. The commits

long lilac-room. It was very pleasant
to sit there and watch the river and
the wherries and barges. and to reflect
in it's prosperous, peaceful evening up-
on the events of a painstaking, success

was custom he abominated-but there
was flask of white wine near to his

he took a self-satisfied sip. He seldom
gave lessons now, for his daughter had
married, and his son-in-law carried on
the teaching adnira bly,, knowing Ram

he had laid down news sheet in which
there was talk Of a dancer at the opera
who was setting the town Wild a dancer
who had conquered European capital
after European capital, and was now
making London playgoers mad with de-
light. He was old and liked his ease,
but'a vague fancy came into his mind
that he would go to the opera and see
this pearl. 1t would be a treat for his
son and daughter.
A carriage came slowly down the river
road, where carriages did not often
come. The master looked at 1T with
languid surprise. and lifted his glass
to his lips. But it stopped at his own
door. and he set the glass down again
in surprise. A gilded footman got down
and opened the carriage door and very
beautiful lady got out The footman
pushed back the iron gateway Of the
little front garden and the splendid lady
came in, waved her hand and laughed,
and then she ran up the steps and out Of
his sight, and he could hear the mutf1ed
thunder of a knocking at the door.
He had scarcely risen to his feet,
slowly trying to recall the face that had
just laughed at him, when the door of
the dancing-room opened and splendid
lady came in, bringing blaze of color
into the quiet room. The master bowed
but the lady ran rapidly across the
room, and before he was we'll aware of it
she had kissed him on both cheeks.

The Highest Type of Hunting.

In my estimation the pursuit of the
mountain sheep is the highest type of
hunting our continent affords. To "col-
lect" an old ram requires good lungs,
good legs, good judgment, and good
shooting. In the doing Of it you are
bound to rise in the world, to expand
mentally, morally, and physically, and
to come under the spell that nature al
ways lays upon the hunter who once
sets foot upon her crags and peaks.

tain sheep even more than the passing
Of the buffalo and elk, for it is an animal
Of finer mold and stronger and more

much more alert than the mountain
