BEFORE NIGHT.

1t is the hour when faints the long
gold day.
That hour when all the spent world
signs to rest,
The low wind sleeps, the lilies idly
sway,
And drops the bee into the roses
breast.
Now the last weary swallow wheels on
high,
"A flash of silver on the rosy light;
Soon the first star shall CLEAN In the
still sky,
And earth be clasped by the cool arms
OF night.
Now the round notes Of restless birds
are dead,
Peace on the scented Land and SHIN
mering sea;
Now sorrow fades as fades the sunset
red,
And with the tender night comes
peace to me!

brilliant work in defea ting the river and

honest people, and especially to the
people of the west, whose demands We're

ranks of his own party and none dared
to challenge the charges he made

corruption and partisan fraud. If there

Won MOLTkE and NAPOLEON.

In La Revue of Paris in an article by
NJ. Duquet on The Legend of Won
Moltke,' in which Won Moltke as a
soldier is analysed and compared with
Napoleon. greatly to the disparage-
ment of the German soldier. From the
translation it is difficult to obtain clearly
the writer's full meaning. but he p de-
cares that he cannot think how Won
Moltke either acquired his great -7pu-
tation, or having acquired it, how. he
could maintain it," He insists that Won
Moltke made endless strategetic blum
ders, and charges that he was apt to be
absent at he very moment when he was
needed.
We suspect that the Frenchman is
prejudiced. His article reads much like
those published on Gen. Grant by Ger
tain class of journals during the great
war. Those articles never ceased until
it was discovered that Grant never
struck an enemy that he did not MAIN
tain his hold until that enemy was
either crushed or had surrendered
After that to deride Grant was to place
the generals opposed to him in fear
full position, because if he blundered
that way. what would have happened
had he made no mistakes? The same
result followed Won Moltke's work.
His Schleswig- Holstein war resulted
that way: in single battle. Sadowa,
he crushed Austria; he never stopped
his march through France until Paris
was environed by the German army
His fatal blunders' were chiefly fatal
to France. When it comes to a COM
parison with Napoleon that is differ
ent matter. 1t is a comparison be-
tween absolute science and absolute
genius-the crawl of the serpent and
the flight of the eagle. One was an
estimation that it a 16-pounde hammer
struck with the same force as was given

Having settled the plural of rhinoceros
as rhinocerotes, we are piled for further
information as to the plural of other re-
condite nouns. "Albatross," for exam
pie. So solitary a bird scarcely needs an
answer. The plural of blouse can
scarcely be "blice," though the analogy
of the mouse is in its favor. And what

one of our correspondents? We can only
suggest the eNpedient of the tailor who
was ordering couple of the instruments
from the manufacturer. please send

He tried back. "Please send me a tailor's

postscript he wrote: PLEASE send two"

THE IRISH IN PARLIAMENT

The New York Tribune, after a per-
graceful scene in the Mother of Paria-
nents," where a number of Irish men,
bers were elected by force, after fierce
light, expresses wonderment that the
Irish remain at Westminster at all or
why they ever go there. Says the Tr
bune:
The theory of Irish home rule is that
Ireland should have parliament Of her
own and should send no members to
Westminster. A rule of the Irish parlia-
lnentary party ia that its members shall
accept no places or favors from the Brit
ftsh government. And the perpetual COM
paint Of Irishmen is that they get no
