THE RETICEYCE OF LEARNING.
.om The London Spectator.

From The London Spectator.
1t is not often in modern times that any COM
plaint can be leveed at any man for paucity
Of literary production. The reticence OF learn
ing is so rare in these days that TO complain of
a notable instance may seem an uncalled for
criticism. Yet do deeply regret any instance
Of such reticence. The feverish volubihty Of
ignorance the amazing output of ihterature-
TO coin a much needed word-that distinguishes
the present epoch renders all the more necessary
the measured productions Of the scholar and the
sage The absence of production when produc-
ton is both possible and desirable (since any
production must bear the burning stamp Of
originality and learning) is infinitely sad, and
the sense OF loss that follows the apparently
complete extinction Of great learning Is among
the bitter tears of things. There arises the real
note of tragedy when the earth closes over some
mute ingorious Milton, or over a man whose
Capacous intellect refused TO unrol, let US say,
the European history of the late Middle Ages
We seem 10 remember a story of an Oxford
scholar OF great learning. He published little
or nothing, and one day when he felt death was
not far off he deliberately destroyed notes and
annotations of priceless value

Gone to Sleep Til! Sprin1.

The big Mississippi catfish and tho
ugly hellbinder and mud puppies in
the New York Aquarium have gone to
sleep for the winter. Every year they
seem to get tired of active life and
sink to the. bottom of their tanks,
where they remain for months without
tasting a morsel of food or moving the
least bit their sluggish bodies. The
catfish, which is a big specimen of the
Mississippi kind, is the most obstinate
sleeper of the lot. 1t will be next
spring, if he sleeps the usual period,
before he will again come to the sur
face. Every day hundreds Of visitors

such a big, health-looking fish can
sleep SO long without losing in
weight.-New York Times.

Caney. KY, Nov. 10. This little
town is in a state Of siege on account
Of a fight between the Frisbee and
on at intervals for the last twenty-four
hours. Sunday the child of Bob Fris-
bee was buried in this county. Kelley
and Bob Mans and Gatu Howard, ene
mics of Frisbee, and Frank and AL
Lykins, were at the cemetery and be-
gan raising a disturbance. Frisbee's
friends protested. The Mans boys
walked outside the graveyard and
dared the Lykins boys to follow. Fris-
bee and some friends started with the
Lykins boys for the hotel by another
route, when the Mans began shooting.
The Frisbees covered their retreat
with revolvers and the Howard-Mans
faction fired at them at long range.
One or two spectators were slightly
wounded and one of the Mans boys re-
ceived a
Bullet In His Shoulder.
Frank Lykins was shot in the abdo-
men. After reaching the house Fris-
bees and his friends stationed them
selves at the windows and began firing
rapidly at their enemies, when the
Howard-Mans faction %retreated. An
hour later they returned, reinforced by
several friends, and riddled the hotel
with bullets.
In the meantime Lykins and Frisbee
had escaped to the mountains on
horseback to alarm the neighborhood.
Both sides are heavily armed. Frank
Lykins will die and Kelley Mans is
dangerously wounded. Both factions
include men prominent in the affairs
Of the county. The town has no pro-
lection excepting from the county Of
fcers, who are powerless because of
the standing of the participants in the
battle. No arrests have been made,
and each hour it is feared will bring on
a renaXal of the encounter.
