THE REAL DIFFICULTY.

If Cleveland and his party would
only recognize that it is the deficiency
in public revenues that causes the dis
turbances in our finances it would be
the first step toward a remedy. Then
if they could be made to see that 1t
was their own acts that reduced the
governments income to the point
where it becomes necessary to issue
bonds to pay current expenses, and go
to work in practical way to undo
their mischief, the machine would start
up and run with the old time regular
ity. 1t is not the currency system, but
Democracy which has paralyzed the
business Of the country, and the pub
lie should not be made to suffer the
consequences OF Mr.. Cleveland's fail
ure to see where the trouble lies. All
the talk about Republican blunders,
and abuse of the national banks is
only SO much throwing Of dust to di-
vert attention from the real cause Of
the difficulty. Luckily there remains
but sixty days in which to keep up
these rams horn tootings about the
walls Of our financial edifice, and the
best assurance that it will be ineffec
tual comes Of their natural prOneness
to quarrel among themselves. Let the
wrangling proceed till we pass the
rocky reef of March 4, then we will
have fair sailing in an open sea.

AN INSUFFERABLE BORE.

Pity the man who continually talks
about himself. 1t is trite saying that
she who bloweth his own horn bloweth
it with muchness." AS to how much,
or how effectually the braggart sue
ceeds in making himself ridiculous de-
ponds largely upon the time devoted to
it, and his talent in that line. 1t is
common habit-too common by far,
among otherwise intelligent people TO
waste most of their time in detailing
their own exploits and individual quail
tiles. Every attempt at conversation
is so interlarded with the prOnoun of
the first person singular that all the
world, with it's illimitable subjects and
attractions, is shut out and the dis
gusted listener discerns nothing but an
ever varying kaleidoscope of the ire
preSSible /. Who has not, In sheer deS-
peration, tried to sidetrack this loqua
cious babbler toward some other topic,
or some object which might, at least,
be of some mutual interest? Did you
ever succeed? Did not the effort rather
lead to a fresh outburst of self-lauda-
ton, and were you not glad to fall limp
at the feet of your prosecutor with an
unspoken appeal for mercy?
1t is one of the mysteries of creation
that anyone can attain the stature Of
manhood without finding out that
other people care precious little for his
idiosyncrasies, or his personal plans
and projects If such examples were
rare in the community they might be
set down as freaks, but the unsolvable
mystery comes in right here-that so
large proportion of grown-up peo-
pie are given to this offensive habit.
Surely if the dolt or the lunatic could
know how little intelligent people care
about his private concerns, and with
what commiseration and pity they
look upon his boastings, he could cheer
fully choke himself to death, if only to
serve the one righteous end OF public
benefactor.
1t is a safe rule never TO trouble
even a friend with your personal traits
or belongings. Garry your achieve
ments and successes as profound
secret, and trouble no one with your
aches. pains or grievances. The wen
guarded silence of your listener is no
evidence that he believes half your
story, and you will fare well if he does
not regard you fool
A rule of perfect candor in our per-
sonal intercourse might, in part, cor
rect this abuse. Were il admissible
in polite society to frankly tell this in
corrigible victim Of self esteem that he
was a nuisance, and that he was COM
monty regarded as weak-minded
blowhard. might it no bring him to
consider his weakness: Life is alto
gether too short, and time too precious
TO be wasted in the agony OF tolerating
a fool or a braggart who talks per-
petually of himself.

Plutarch in his childhood, he now de-
voured Herodotus, Strabo, and Diodo-
rus; China, Arabia. and the Indies daz-
zled his imagination, and what he
could lay hands upon concerning the
east was soon assimilated. England
and Germany next engaged his atten-
ton, and toward the close of his stud
les he became ardent in examining the
minutest details of French history. 1t
was, moreover, the science of history,
and not its literature, which occupied
him-dry details of revenue. resources,
and institutions; the Sorbonne, the
bull Unigenitus. and church history in
general; the character of peoples. the
origin of institutions, the philosophy
of legislation-al1 of these he studied.
and, if the character of his notes is
trustworthy, with some thoroughness.
He also found time to read the master
pieces of French literature. and the
great critical judgments which had
been passed upon them
