Chesterfeld's idea of excellence was
essentially superficial, for his praise of
solid requirement and genuine princi-
pie is always coupled with the assertion
Of their entire inutilisy if unaccompa-
MED by grace, external polish and an
agreeable manifestation. He omits all
consideration OF their intrinsic worth
and absolute dignity their value to the
individual, according to him, is wholly
proportioned to his skill in using them
in social form.
In one OF his earlier letters to Philip
Stanhope he writes: What an advan-
tage has graceful speaker with gen
teel motions a handsome figure, over
one who shall speak full as much good
sense, but who is destitute Of these or
naments. In business how prevalent are
the graces, how detrimental is the want
of theml If you should not acquire
manners, all the rest will be Of little
use to you. By manners l mean engag-
ing, insinuating, shining manners, a
distinguished politeness, an almost ir-
resistible address. a superior graceful
ness in all you say and do" He would
have manners overlay individuality and
goes so far as to declare that soldier
is brute, scholar, pedant and a
philosopher, cynic without good breed

GLADSTONE AS A CHEMIST,
An Incident In the Grand Old Mans Ca
resr In the Commons.

An Incident In the Grand Old Mans Ca
reer In the Commons.
If Mr.. Gladstone seldom INDUCED in
sarcasm. it was not because he lacked
the gift-for he possessed it in high
degree-but because he forbore to use
it. To hurt an opponents feelings gave
him pain and when he did it uninten-
tiOnally he would sometimes cross the
floor of the house and, sitting for few
moments by the side of the man whom
he had just demolished, say something
to assuage the wound One of his most
persistent, but never i'll natured, critics
was the late Sir John Pope Hennessy,
who told me the following story to IL
lustrate this generous trait in Mr.. Glad.
stones character.
Sir John prided himself on his knowl-
edge of chemistry, and in one of the
debates on the commercial treaty with
France he made a speech exposing, as
he believed, a serious chemical blunder
in the treaty. Mr.. Gladstone followed,
land soon turned me inside out in the
most amusing manner" said Hennessy
in relating the story, proving, as if he
had been chemist by profession, that
it was | who had Numbered egregious-
ly."
Having thus disposed of his critic,
Mr.. Gladstone went and sat by him fer
q moment. II hope you don't feel hurt,
Mr.. Hennessy." he said. Your speech
was ingenious, and it may console you
to know that the emperor of the French
made precisely the same objection that
you have made. The fact is, both you
and he know good deal about chem
istry, but not enough to keep you from
going astray. Canon McColl in Fort

A JOKE ON TIE TEAMsrgR.
Re Roughly Ordered General Sherman to
Brush His Mules.

Re Roughly Ordered General Sherman to
Brush His Mules.
A good story is told of one of General
Sherman's Missouri teamsters. He had
just joined the service, raw recruit,
and was assigned the task of driving a
six mule team. Whom the army halted
for the first night, he was YEARLY UNI
Harvesting his team.
Hello there, I" said the wag of the
company in passing. "What do you
mean by takiAg care of those mules
yourselfp Why don't you have the
hostler do it?"
"Why, thought every man had to
take care of his own team, " said the
bewildered teamster.
"You bet he doesn't. We've got
hostler for that. There's his tent right
over there. He's a lazy, contrary old
cuss, aud he may not want to do it, but
you swear at him and he'll move off at
double quick.
The Missourian strobe over to the
tent indicated, which happened to be
General Sherman's headquarters.
Here, you son of gum" he roared
fiercely, "get out Of here and brush
those mules
Needless to say, the teamster spent
the evening in the guardhouse.
A pious old Indiana farmer was as
signed to the duty of tsaming, probably
by mistake. The roads were muddy,
and the rest Of the teamsters were lit
orally bombarding their charges with
oaths. 1t was against the old mans
principles to swear, and he held his
peace, albeit in impotent rage. At last
one of the hind mules baked and re-
fused to advance step. The old man
used every sndeayor to urge the beast
along, but to no purpose. At last he
roared in a loud and solemn voice:
"Oh, Lord, you know where this mule
ought to be as we'll as anybody. This
whole army knows where he ought to
be this minute. He knows where he
ought to be. l know where he ought to |
be, oh, Lord, and if he doesn't move in |
q minute intend to say SO, by gum"

for, although the letters patent were

The Cunning Fox,

The sagacity of the fox is most won
derful. 1t is related that he is tor.
mented by tleas, and when the inflic-
ton becomes unbearable he gathers a
mouthful of moss and slowly walks
backward into the nearest stream until
only the mouth is left above the surface
of the water. The fleas meantime take
refuge on the moss, and when the fox
is satisfied that they have all embarked
he opens his mouth, and the moss drifts
away, while the willy fox regains the
bank, happy in freedom from his tor
mentors. -ExchanRe.

There has never been a political
campaign that equalled in import
ance that OF the one to be fought this
fall. The Republican party, backed
by the money power of this country

They must wage an unCeasing war

1t consisted chiefly Of old junks which
had not been in the water for more than
80 years, During this heightened period
the sea had receded, and the land had
formed to the extent of more than a
mile, the consequence being that these
ancient vessels were high and dry, their
masts, sails and gear had rotted away
from the long exposure to the sun and
rain, the paint had peeled from their
sides, and, in some cases, the very
planking had been stolen for firewood.

Shotted Him First

A special correspondent in Kohat,
in giving some interesting particu-
lars of the defence Of Fort Gulist an,
speaks of the part taken by Maj
Des Vpux's children. Que Of them,
a six-year-old daughter, told the
story in her own way. She said;
"a horrid man crept up to burn the
hedges. Daddy would not shoot
till the hedge was burning and the
man was creeping back again. Then
he shotted him dead" The little
lady was not averse to crticising
the operations. She said, 81 think
Daddy should have shotted him
first" She and a still smaller
brother were with great difficulty
kept back from the ramparts when
the fight was going on. Only by
the incessant attention OF their
nurse were they kept in place of
comparative safety. OF this same
nurse, Miss Teresa M'Grath, the
officers and men cannot speak too
highly, all of them expressing their
gratitude to her for her devotion to

ALLISON HANGED.
Killed the Wife OF His Employer
With an Axe.


Berlin, Ont, Feb. 4.-James Allison was
hanged this morning. The trap was sprung
at :0l o'clock. Alison's neck was broken.
ThM crime for which Allison paid the death
penalty was the murder Of Mrs. Orr, wife
OF Anthony Orr. near Gait on August last.
The body Of Mrs Orr was found In hastily
constructed grave in:a:cornheld on the Orr
farm. Allison, one of the farm hands, dull
wittcd boy OF IS, was suspected, tried and
convicted. Some time after his conviction
he confessed TO having killed Mrs. Orr with
an axe while attending 20 his morning chores
and hiding the body temporarily in the corn
patch until he had sn opportunity to carry
il 20 a neighboring swamp whore he had a
grave prepared for It.
The motive for the murder advanced at the
trial was that of revenge for Mrs. orrs re-
fussl of his improper attentions, but this,
Allison In his confession, stoutly contradicted.
The neiahborhood in the vicinity Of Gait and
Berlin has been worked up TO high pitch
over the commission of the deed and the sub
seQuent proceedings.
