The New York American observes:
The masses Of no other nation in the
world have more instructive and set
tied respect for the right of property
than those of the United States, where
the people make the laws. When the
Republic was young and an expert
ment the Tederalists at home and con
servatives everywhere were haunted
by the fear that the many, armed with
the ballot, would be under overpower-
ing temptation to despoll the rich.
Time has proved that fear to be H.
lusory. Experience has taught that
the danger is all the other way-that
it is the many who need guarding
against the confscating activity OF the
unscrupulous and greedy few. But,
while the American people respect
property and give It safety which
has siIenced the prophets who deemed
a fierce democracy" incapable Of self
control, respect for wealth which is
simply loot and for men who have
that kind Of wealth, is vanishing from
The land. And the sooner the last trace
af it is gone the better. Whatever
contributes toward obliterating it fur
Tiers the cause Of common honesty and
rue democracy. A thief is thief
whether his piupder be one dollar Or
hundreds Of millions.

In which opinion Clifford was I'M
doubtedly wise. The Fergussons were
bad lot. 1t was not his fault If the
father chose to ruin himself and not
provide for his children. Such a prom
Use as his, given under such circum-
stances, would certainly have been re-
deemed at the very highest market
value by a five-pound note-or ten. as
he suggested, for very exceptional
and fancy price. But poor Jane, out Of
the foolish fullness Of her heart, saw
otherwise. The vision Of that desper-
ate, white-faced man suing to Clifford
rose before her in real, not acted,
pathos; she felt that he was under a
moral obligation to hold out his hand
if he could to Fergusson's child; and
that it was her place to bring him to
see his duty, and to assist him in car
rying that duty out. Mohun was too
really Indifferent on the subject his
first rage at being called upon to take
trouble over-to contest her wishes
long; and it ended by James writing a
kind note and asking Miss Ferguson
to come, as soon as her visit at Haugh-
ton was over, and spend week at
Chesterford-"w when Miss Grand, an
old friend of Mr.. Mohun's, would have
more opportunity for ascertaining Miss
Fergusson's wishes and capabilities
than it would be possible to do in the
hurried course of morning visit or a
letter"

gusson when you get her, Janey' were

''You know it's your own plan, and you
must just take all it will involve you in
lon your own head. They were a
cursed bad lot when last saw them at
Baden, cursed bad lot, and there's
something about the letter that makes
me think pretty much the same of
them STILL"
Ominous words, that Jane remem-
bered but too well before many more
days were past!

The stories Of vast shoals OF sea
snakes have been set down as of the
ordinary variety Of sailors yarns.
But Of late DR.. Becker, of the United
States Geological Survey, saw sight
OF this kind which proved the veracity
of these tales. Between Cuba and Jolo
the ship passed through sea Of
snakes for 100 miles. DR.. Becker
computes that there were at least 5000
OF them to each square mile, and that
if the school, of serpents was as
broad as it was long there must have
been 100000 of them. 1t was liter
ally true that the sea was alive with
them.

ARMENIAN DIED HERDS DEATH.

Made Splendid Defense of His Resi-
dence at Baku.
Adamotr was an Armenian hero of
Baku. The author of a recent volume
on that city has this to say of him.
"Adamoff was the crack rifle shot in
Bahu, one of the wealthiest Armeni-
ans engaged in the oil business, and
his residence in Arnianskia street was
one of the palaces OF the city, 30 far
as the magnificence of the oriental
decoration was concerned He stood
a three days siege and shot no fewer
than forty Tartars, who, on the last
day, formed heap of dead at the cor
ner of the street. Adamoff was kept
supplied with cartridges by his young
son, who got shot in that service.
And then Adamoff himself was hit on
the balcony of his house, wh0nce he
had so long defen ded 1t. Receiving a
shot in the shoulder, the deadly
marksman dropped his rifle on to the
railing Of balcony, but, nerved with
the courage of despair and determined
to sell his life still more dearly, he
continued shooting. His movements
became slow, the Tartars become
more aggressive, and he finally re.
ceived a fatal wound which laid him
low on the balcony"
