webster and the Singers.

Daniel Webster was exceedingly
fond of music, and when he was
stopping at Willard s hotel he never
ceased to implore the wife of NOM
Der of congress, also a guest at the
hotel, for just little song He
had an old fashioned gallantry in
speaking to ladies, and every time
he saw the wife of his friend he
oomplimented her most extravaganza
" on her voice. When Jenny Lind
came to Washington. Daniel Web
ster was of course among the audi
ence. He had come in rather late
from champagne party, and after
each song of Jenny Lind s applaud
ed most vociferously. Finally, rising
TO the pinnacle of enthusiasm, he
stood up in the crowded hall and
made one of his most gallant bows
to the great singer. Then, catching
sight of the lady whose voice he also
admired, he turned to her, away
from Jenny Lind, and made still
lower bow, amid the laughter and
applause of the audience. w ashing-

An Extraordinary Light.

What is believed to have been an
aurora of such extraordinary bril-
liancy as to obscure the sunlight is
thus described in an old number of
The Gentlemen s Magazine: On the
I'd Of January, 1856, an unusual
light, far above the brightest day,
struck all beholders with amaze
ment. The time was o'clock in the
afternoon, and it soon faded away.
At z, however, from east to west,
streams appeared like rivers OF
bright fire. A general feeling OF
alarm was caused by these, but they
gradually faded away to the north,
their disappearance being accom-
panied by shocks which were felt by
all, but which did no particular
damage.

READE'S BEST NOVEL.

Circumstances Which Suggested 'sThe
Cloister and the Hearth"
Charles Reade was nothing if not
combative. II am very quarrel
some, or other writer's are very spir-
itless. he once wrote to a friend.
The Cloister and the Hearth, his
literary masterpiece and most en-
during success, was the outcome of
dispute with an editor.
When in Paris, Mr.. Reade picked
up two stout old volumes on the
Sims of the Middle Ages. They
were crammed with curious knowl-
edge and information, and as he
turned them over it struck him
that they would yield ample mate
rial for story depicting life at the
end of the fourteenth century.
He carried them home, made a
careful digest of all they contained
and with the notebook before him
began story which he called "A
Good Fight" The opening chapters
were sent to the editor of Once
Week, who printed them in his
magazine, not, however, before he
had nodded them to his own liking
by free use of the blue pencil.
Charles Reade objected to this dry
nursing" as he termed it, and ad-
dressed peremptory order to the
editor, with the ultimate result that
he was requested to wind up his
story as quickly as possible. He i'm
mediately reversed his catastrophe,
made his hero and heroine happy
and thus without loss of time put an
end to the narrative.
He had hoped to make "A Good
Fight his most remarkable novel,
and, despite the unfortunate affair
which had cut the story short, had
no intention of renouncing his am
bition or of wasting the enormous
supplies of material ne had collect
ed. At Oxford he continued his ex-
plorations into medieval literature,
reoast what he had already written
and added much more The result
was 1.-THE Cloister and the Hearth.
For information concerning her
mits Charles Reade ransacked Mag
dalen college library and Bodleian,
and before he finished had read the
lives of 500 famous eremites. The
work almost wore him out. Very
early in the course of his labors he
vowed that this should be the last
time he went out of his own age.
The point on which the story of
''The Cloister and the Hearth turns
Gerard s remuneration of Margaret
for the church-was prefgured in
the authors own life. Had Gerard
married Margaret he would, accord
ing to his belief, have lost his soul.
Had Charles Reade married the wo-
man he loved he would in all proba
bility have starved. Poverty, not
religion, kept Charles Reade from
happiness. In drawing Margaret the
author is said to have had an IN
known lady in his mind, and the
personal feeling which he infuses
into his description of Gerard S self
exclusion from home and love is per-
haps due to the fact that he himself
passed through similar crisis.
Dame Catherine, the dwarf with
the big voice, the little cripple Kate,
the Burgundian soldier, are all en-
tirely imaginary characters. Mr..
Reade had always the poorest opin-
ion of his own powers of imagina-
ton and invention. Indeed, so much
did he dread wanting and lacking
interesting and useful facts that he
filled many volumes with paragraphs
cut from newspapers, extremely |
few of which proved of the slightest
value. Philadelphia Ledger.

THAT LIABLE SUIT.

The Pee-,nk Paper man over at
Bathgate, r. P's. another column of
editorial this week, and the casual
reader would gather from its persual
that he did not have avery high opin-
ion Of us and ours, and renews his
threat of suing us for libel, because
we allowed Mr.. Perrault to publish
an advertisement, stating that he had
instituted suit for the possession Of
the Democrat, that he claimed its
earnings, and that the Pink Paper
was only the Democrat under another
name.
Mr.. Wilson has this week, through
his attorney, applied to the district
court to allow him to place the plant
and material of the Democrat in the
hands of the court aud thereby ad-
mtts that the ownership of the Demo-
crat is in dispute, and that he does
not know but that Mr. Perrault's
claim is good. That is, when he
writes for.his paper, he says Mr.. Per
rault has no claim, but when it comes
to law he isn't so sure about it, and
he is mad because we don't believe
his newspaper words against his acts
in court.

WHERE THE BATTLE IS.

Speaking about the western part Of
the state being strongly republican,
we may say, that we in the valley re-
joice that the people of the Missouri
slopes are so unanimous. But it
it makes us a little tired, when it
comes convention time, to have these
big majorities thrown in our faces,
as though we in the valley, were some
how to blame for allowing any popu-
lists or democrats to exist In our sec
tiOn.
If our western brethren will just
stop and do a little figuring, they will
discover that Notwithstanding their
"big republican majority" that when
in convention based on the republi.
can vote cast, that we have the dele
gates.
Besides this, is another, more preg.
nant fact, that the hardest fighting
is necessarily done, where the foe is
met in nearly equal members. The
fight in Pembina county for instance,
is no walk over; in no county in the
state are the populists and demo
Gratis better organized, or more intel
ligent and aggressive fighters than
here.
In some of the western counties,
the republicans have TO fight each
other in order to have an interesting
election, but it isn't so here, and per.
haps that is one reason that some OF
these counties of the valley almost
always come to convention solid
We have to be solid in the face of the

DON'T TALK TARIFF.

1t is evident that our friends the
democrats have no desire to discuss
the tariff this year. -Four years ago
they rode trlumphantly into power
jingling a handful of pearl buttons in
a tin dinner pail, shouting robber
tariff. Why don't they shout tariff
robbery now? The house Of represen-
tatives is republican and the senate
would be, except for some traitorous
silver senators. A republican presi-
dent means the immediate passage Of
q bill to provide revenue sufficient to
run the government. Why don't
these democrats talk tariff. Because
they have themselves settled that
question during the last four years.:
and they prefer to talk about some-
thing else.. People don't like to dis
cuss failures. Naturally enough, they
prefer to talk about silver; as though
it were a cause and not an effect.
Give us sufficient revenue, con-
vince the business men that the
government is on business basis, that
the government has the will and the
ability to make and keep each dollar
so that it may be exchanged at the
will of'the holder for any any other
dollar bearing the stamp Of the gov
ernment. then there will be no run on
the gold reserve; nobody will care to
exchange silver for gold, vice versa,
except for the conveniences of busi-
ness. 1t will lie untouched just as
do the reserve funds of the various
banks. It is because people are afraid
of this democratic, populistic cry for
16 to 1. that they change their silver
to gold and hoard the gold. Conf
dence is the cure for the financial
troubles of the day, and republican
administration will restore that conf
dence,
