OUR AMERICAN cONcEIT.
Not a. Dangerous as It Looks, When
Once AnaIyzed.

Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph DR..
Edward Everett Hale is one Of the
Venerated prophets OF a passing gener-
alton. His well stored mind, devoted
piety n patriotism give peculiar
weight and significance to everything
he says. In an address delivered in
Boston recently the aged Clergyman
and writer declared that one OF the
browning weaknesses of American
character was its intolerable self-con<
ceit. In ~arrogating to ourselves SUI
perior power and constantly repeating
our own praises, DIR. Hale declares we
have become inflated with that kind OF
pride that goeth before a fall.
The distinguished Bostonian's caution
Is not without timeliness, but we fear
DIR. Hale has made the weaknesses OF
The few representative Of the many.
Vain laudation OF our material and So
cial greatness has come to be a sort
Of fad in one or two eastern centers Of
population. 1t is manifest to a high
degree in DR.. Hale's own city OF Bos-
ton, and, along different lines, is even
worse in New York. The Bostonian
believes that his city is the home of
the only ~simon-pure, unadulterated
culture and learning in the world. The
New Yorker, On the other hand, be-
tieves that In wealth and progressive
ness every other city is only a village
compared to the town on Manhattan

!ieve that political eminence is so great

earth and air are subservient to il. But
these types OF conceit are not repre-
sentative. They are provincial and
stand for certain oddly developed
germs of sel-contemplation. The great

signed the captancy, and bidding n sor-
rowful adieu to General Carson at Fort
Union, started for his Maine home town.
AT st. Joseph, Mo-, where the train
made a brief halt, he went into the near
est clothing store and bought a citizens
suit. He wanted n dark suit, but the deal
er just then was out of that line of goods,
so the captain made a Hobson's choice Of
selecting q gray suit, about the shade Of
confederate gray, but Just a trifie lighter.
He also bought q wide brimmed, light
drab felt hat, such as was common In the
south. All Of which he donned, had his
uniform done up in stout paper, and re-
sumed his seat in the car.

down. There was M one In the car when
L entered 1t, but soon after leaving Wheel
ing station a party of five men came in
and seated themselves near me. / looked
them over, and readily made up my mind
that they were not only ~out-and-out
southerners in sentiment, but were a del
egation of representative men bound on
scme sort Of political business. For, you
see, they were smart looking and APP
peared cultured and refined; in fact,
seemed like public men; they acted like
persons having one idea in common and
their garb was of southern style and
color.

sizing me up politically and geographical
ly. Pretty soon the gentleman who sat

certain prominent Yankees whose names

TO the wishes and rights Of the south"
To make a long story short, the dele
cation, whom generous quaffs from their
pocket TASKS had rendered quite commu-
NEGATIVE, took the supposed confederate
into their confidence, and, among other
things, let out the fact that they were
bound for the White House to clinch the
nail in placating the president, and the
more astonishing revelation that their
old enemy, Horace Greeley, had pledged
himself, in the interests Of peace and good
will between the north and south, to help
liberate Jefferson Davis, who was a
prisoner of state VI Fort Warren, Boston
harbor, by becoming first signer of his
bail BOND of &c., 900.

CORiNNE HAS "GROWN UP"

iIevs She 10 Not a Child.

New York Times: Mile. Corinne saws
that her greatest difficulty in life is
to live down the notion that she is an
infant prodigy. During the days of
the Jennie Kimball opera company,
when Corinne was exploited In her tiny
dogcart throughout the provinces as

wonder" 1t was all very well for the
diminutive singer to advertise her in
fantile ways and baby looks.
But now-well, al best Mile. Corinne

being buxom rather than babyish.
On her return to America a few days
ago Mile. Corinne laughingly displayed
an account of her performance OF the
title role in "Carmita," which she
played for several months at the Prince
OF Wales theater, London. The writer
evidently had become imbued with the
idea that the actress still was an 'in-
known to himself did not deem 1t nee
essary to witness the performance.
This is what he wrote:
Tiny Corinne, in the title role, dis
played a pr-ecociousness simply amaz-
ing to the audience. This little lady,
still a frail child, has the voice of a
matured prima donna and plays the
mandolin with the Skill of a grown-up
expert"
OF course, It would not be fair to
state Corinne's exact age, but fifteen
years ago she was touring America
under the shrewd managerial eye OF
Jennie Kimball, her mother.

Lyman Burgess was a native of Nor

the course he pursued. 1t was his vote
which virtually broke the deadlock be-

ADA REHAN'S HAIR is WHITE.
In Spite OF II She Looks Younger, and
is ENJOYING a HOLIDAY,

New York sun: Ada Rehan sat In a box
at the Metropolitan opera house the other
night and in spite of her gray hair, which
is now almost entirely white, she looked
better than she had for years. She was
with a friend from England, who Is now
on a visit to New York. and during the
~intermissions the box was filled with visi-
tors.
Miss Rehan was dressed In black velvet
and wore a long white scarf. Her bright
eyes and red cheeks made her white hair
seem premature indeed, and 1t was the
opinion Of all who looked at her that she
had not in years seemed younger.
Miss Rehan's own unaffected enjoyment
of the evening, her frank delight while
talking to her friends between the acts,
and her air of having n thoroughly good
time were all easily comprehensive to
those of her friends who knew that for
the first time In her life she was really
enjoying a holiday.
Her brief retirement from the stage after
the death of Augustin DAILY was troubled
with veXatious litigation and other an
noyances. Her mother, 10 whom she was
devoted, and her brother, died In this
period. Her return to the stage was not
wholly felicitous, as the play in which she
acted was not popular, nor a worthy We
hicle for such an actress.
So she has decided to stop acting until
she has just the kind Of q play she
wants, If indeed she ever returns to the
stage. She Is said to be now quite above
the necessity Of working unless she
wants to.
The litigation over the Daily theater In
Leicester square,. London. has been de-
cided In favor of the DAILY estate, In which
Miss Rehan has a large interest. So she

Connected with Captain Hills military
service, under General Carson, and i'm
mediately supplementary thereto, was a
curious incident with a political bearing.
The incident throws a strong side light on
the change OF policy toward the southern
leaders and people, whereby his famous
dictum, Traitors must take a back seat"
was surprisingly reversed, and the Dive
branch substituted for the iron heel OF
revengeful punishment Of our "erring
brethren"
The most plausible and generally sc-
cepted theory for this is that President
Johnson. his proud spirit not unnaturally

that despised and uniettered southern
class the poor whites" on becoming,
through Lincoln's assassination, the head
