was one of the most depraved of
creatures in all respects, and the
dramatization of his life and crimes
cannot fail to be communicating, es-

Lawrence Barrett, one of the most
high-minded actors that this country
has produced, once said that the rea-
son he loved the drama was because
of its high moral influence and teach
ings, and that il was his conviction
that the stage plays its own part in
the elevation of mankind just as the
pulpit does.
Lawrence Barrett was right in his
convictions and in his devotion to
his profession Oil that account, bur
Barrett would have spurned at

The Lesser But the stronger Side.

So decidedly in the minority in the
43rd general assembly are the demo-
Gratis that they will be more or less
overshadowed during the session as
they are now overshadowed in the
speakership fight, and as they may
be perhaps in the fight for election of
a United States senator.
But the minority is Il working mi
nority. just the same. The democrats
are active and doing all that minor
ity can do. Among the ablest men on
the floor of both houses will be found
democrats, and they are preparing
valuable measures and will make
themselves heard in the interest of
the state and the people. They will
be conspicuous in antagonism to I'M
just Legislation and TO corruption in
the Legislature.
The minority. though overshadow-
ed. Will not be lost sight of. Demo-
cratic members are coming into
Springfield hopeful and courageous,
and they are working in the interests
of their constituents. The struggles
of the minority must be carefully con-
sidered by the people. Though placed
under such great disadvantages they
will fight for right and justice to all
and favoritism to none. They are the
lesser but the stronger side.

that he was at the helm in the shap-

of his characteristics. And despite
all differences that arose to drive the

Sagasta never for an instant lost the

they have the same experience. 1t seems
tri1ing matter to person who opens
only five or six letters day, but to me
this loss of time caused, by either the
ignorance or carelessness of letter writ
ers is considerable.
Fully two-thirds of the letters re-
ceived by a business house are filed.
Cabinets for this purpose are arranged
so that one must refer to the beginning
of the letter, on the right-hand side, to
find the date. One-half the persons who
write on matters of business, partic-
ularly women, put the date at the end
OF the latter and on the left-hand side,
SO that we have to lift the whole bunch
to get at it. These failings of corre-
spondents are worse than illegible writ

LOWER ANIMALS HAVE SENSES
This Has Now Come to BE Admitted
by Nearly All the
Scientists.

Many scientists, until quite recently,
have been reluctant to admit that q
number of the lower animals possibly
possess other senses than ours. So much
new and undeniably affirmatory evi-
dehce is, however, now being offered on
this point that there can be no longer
any substantial reason for doubling
that the five senses man imperfectly ex-
ercises are by no means all that are pos
sible to sentient creatures
One such sense not possessed by the
human beings, but to greater or less
degree almost universally present in
mammals, birds, reptiles, fish and in
sects, is Ehat, perhaps, may be called
the sense of localization. 1t enables its
possessOr. apparently by it's sole use,
to find desired spot. 1t is evidently
closely connected with an instructive
and perfect memory of distance and di-
rection. That the homing pigeon exer-
cises 1t to some extent though undoubt-
edly aided by the landmarks it recog-
nizes, is indisputable; that the honey
bee has it in it's fullness and perfection
cannot, after the careful experiments Of
Albrecht Bethe, in Germany, be doubt

GOOD IN CHANGE OF AIR.
Too Close Confinement 20 Any At
mOsphere Il Injur 4Ous to
the Health.

The quasi-miraculous benefits which
are associated with change of air in
the popular belief are in reality de-
rived when they accrue from change
OF environments, or change of habits
of life, says the Medical Review. In
a great many instances the measure
of benefit obtainable would be as ef-
fectually secured and at much less ex-
pense by mere change of habits, with
out the fatigue and inconvenience of
change of donfcile. The overwrought
city clerk might advantageously take
to driving cab, while the cabman
would find it relief to discharge for
a time the functions of caretaker of a
desterted house. Many an overworked
physician would experience a distinct
improvement were he to qualify as
chauffeur, with no other object in
view than to cover space, and there
are few domestic servants whose
health would not be sensibly modified
by brief experience as milkmaid or
cleaner, should the season lend itself
to that pursuit. The literary gent,
whose brain is sterile of new ideas.
might recuperate his energies by
usurping the role of a sick man and
remaining in bed for week or two.

Battle of Yellow Tavern.

Yellow: Tavern and the mortal wound
ing of Major.G General "Jeb" Stuart;
''At Yellow Tavern, where General
'Jeb" Stuart with LOO men and the
Baltimore Light, Artillery, made a des-
perate effort to stop the ION to Rich

troopers" ETC., and it was while urging
his men to "stand by the Maryland
ers" that the great Southern cavalier
received his death wound" In that

from) of the wounding of General
Stuart at Yellow Tavern, May II. 1864:

seizing the colors of the First Virginia
Cavalry he rode forward xclaiming.

time knows anything of it. On the
contrary, Lieut.. Col. Gus w. Dorsey,

Stuart was wounded and where he was

Company F, First Virginia Cavalry,
says: II am sure Stuart was alone
when shot. There was not even q
