Elk Governor Proctor Kn2tt and
a distinguished professional gen.
tleman of Danyille (Ky) were dis
cussing the claims OF Sampson
and Schley to the credit of smash
ing Cevera at Santiago. The pro-
fessional gentleman took the
ground that all the honor of that
memorable conflict belonged to
Admiral Sampson, and was in
clined to ignore Commodore
Schley's part in the affair. The
Governor listened until his com
panion had finished, and then with
that characteristic twinkle in his
eye, said:
MY dear sir, it is exceed ngly

the position you have in this mat

Rag Offerings.

The singular custom of leaving rags
and other worthless objects at wells
has not entirely fallen into disuse The
superstition in modified form exists
in other portions Of the world. A trav-
eler in Persia found a tree with rags
tied to its branches. They had been left
there by the inhabitants of a province
infected with ague. A tree hung with
rags was found by another traveller in
Africa. Crooked pins, old clothes, peb
bles, shells, rusty nails, small coins,
and even bundles of heath were consid-
cred appropriate thank offerings at
shrines in earlier days, for it was be-
lieved that the saints and apostles did
not care for articles of value.
Such was the superstitious alteration
of fountains that it was forbidden by
the sixteenth of the canons issued in
900, in the reign of King Edgar, and it
was condemned by the canons of st.
Anselm. 1t was also interdicted by laws
passed in the reign of King Canute,
Since the reformation the practice has
not been prevalent, except in Ireland,
where many old wells consecrated TO
saints and martyrs are yet made places
of pilgrimage There is scarcely parish
throughout the land that has not it's
own holy well where, despite practical
admonition, the faithful and the faith
less come to pray for physical or mental
relief and leave behind them scrap of
rag as an Offering. -Godey's Magazine.

Only one old tree marks the spot
where the king used to sit administer
ing justice to his subjects. A large part
Of this justice consisted in decreeing
death among his indunas or prominent
men who had excited his suspicious on
whose cattle he desired to appropriate.
Sometimes he had then denounced
"smelled out" they called it-by the
witch doctors as guilty of praoticing
magic against him. Sometimes mo dis
pensed with pretext and sent "a messen
ger TO the hut Of the doomed man to tell
him the king wanted him. The victim,
often ignorant of his fate, walked in
front, while the executioner, following
close behind, suddenly dealt him with
the knobkerry, or heavy ended stick,
one tremendous blow, which crushed
his skull and left him dead upon the
ground. Women, on the other hand
were strangled. -" Impressions of Afri-

Literary jealousies are heaven knows)
distressing enough In themselves; they
are most distressing, not III themselves,
but as symptomatio And whenever a
young author begins 20 pore you with
peevish dlsparagement OF his fellows
you may pity him even more than you
pity yourself for he Is unconsciously
parading tho first aud OIL but infallible
indication of intellectual barrenness.
That querulouH note foredooms him. 1t
is the buzz Of tine s'edestlnate drone.
Conversely, it is the first sign of useful
ness that il recognizes and is attracted
by usefulness. Except by this simple
truth you will find il hard to explain,
for instance, Turgenet's enthusiasm
for Dickens. What attraction, you will
ask yoCrself, could the creator Of such
characters as Neshdanoh and Bazarof
find in the creator of such characters as
Mr.. Piokwick and the Cheeryble broth
ers; the mild and melancholy Slav in
the CHEEKY, vigorous British optimist?
Roudine and Mr. Micawber are each
in his way, studies of the sanguine, I'M
practical temperament which feels on
its own illusions. But the mere colloca-
ton of the two names raises a smile.
The two stand as wide apart as the
poles, and can only you would say,
have come from imaginations as wide
apart as the poles. Turgenef's whole
theory of his art was a point blank de-
NAL of Dickens whole theory. And
yet Turgenef's admiration Of Dickens
was fervent and constant. 1T does not
matter, somewhere observes Mr.. Bir-
rell, "what the little poets do, but
great ones should never pass one anoth-
er without a royal salute. "A. L.
CUTLER Couch in Pail Mall Gazette.
