says:

“As a matter of fact only a very small number of the inhabitants of these isles can be justly labeled civilized. Slowly nnd painfully ure we working out the beast. Meanwhile, much the larger part of civilized people continue to lead barbaric lives. In the higher, as in the so-called lower class±s, vve find the lines of apathy, vulgarity and animalism graven on patrician faces and proclaimed in the talk of the dinner table and the smok-ing-room. Obviously, all aristocrats are not ultra-barbarians, nor are all bargees and coal hewers savages. Yet, the dominant tone is just as often low and inane in the mansion as in the tenement, and with infinitely less to offer in its extenuation. How few persons in a town are interested in hearing that Herbert Spencer is there on a visit: but most people are anxious to shake hands with a prize fighter or the jubilee plunger, or to take tea with a millionaire's wife. It is this pernicious adoration of tinsel that keeps a country in barbarism, that starves its spirit. The ideal of the laborer who resents the lordling's contumely and indicts him for living a lazy life may rise no higher than perpetual beer and ninepins, while the esquire craves no higher satisfaction in life than hunting six days in the week, with champagne, billiards and the sporting papers on Sunday. “The evil is in the setting up of a barbaric aim of life in all classes. Our greatest ideals are the commercial and the voluptuous. We are rich and luxurious; we are, therefore, far above the savage. Yet how far? Our learned and affluent have, for the greater number, returned to the employment of the prepastoral epoch. Look at the lives of thousands of English gentlemen. Truer barbarians never existed than many of these, whose whole thought, energy and wealth are given up to sport. lu large measure we are civilized by the shop. It is only when the shop absorbs the best of us, mental and physical. that commercial activity tends to retard progress. Provided that a man's moral sense and intellect are not warped in the making of money there is nothing degrading in his desire to succeed commercially. But, in the fierceness of competition in an overpopulated country, barbarity, meanness and cruelty arise. Not only these, but the curse of intellectual ami [esthetic atrophy lights upon the host. Yet, need money-getting always barI barizc tj e p'.c? Will the prosperF ous business career of the future be

The Startling Experience

Armorer.

An amusing story has been going the rounds of the French papers respecting a general whose recent dueling exploits have excited some amazement both in Kngland and on the conti-

nent.

The worth}- brave is said to be possessed of an extraordinary coat of mail. One day, as the story goes, the general sent for a clever artisan in 1’aris and demanded of him whether he could engage to make a coat of mail, to be worn under the ordinary dress, which should be absolutely sword and bullet proof. The man promised to do as requested, naming nineteen thousand francs as the price for it. The bargain was speedily concluded, and in 'due time the article was brought round to the general's house. The general took it up. carefully examined it, and, turning to the man, told him to put it on. The man did as he was bid. “As you guarantee the efficacy of your coat, you will have, I presume, no objection to my testing it," dryly remarked the general; and before the astonished artisan could protest he took a brace of pistols and discharged them. Half dead with fear, the man stood the fire. and. to the great credit of his workmanship, with complete impunity. Hut the general was not content

DEFINITION OF A TENOR.

Von Buiow Rrgmrdert Snob a Singer a* an Illnenii, Not a Man. As a conductor he simply worked marvels, even with an indifferent orchestra. and this is the perfonnance he perhaps enjoyed most; he would compare his eomlueting to his piano forte playing, and say at the end of a concert. provided he was satisfied: “This is the finest Rochstein I have played on," says the Saturday Review, liulow at orchestra rehearsals was almost as interesting as Verdi, and operatic performances—barmen, for instance— under his baton were the rarest treats a musician could enjoy. His connection with the operatic stage led him to the definition of a tenor, which it is difficult not to repeat: “Ein Tenor 1st kein Mensch; es 1st eine Krankheit. (A tenor is not a man; it is an illness.) And since an anecdote has been perpetrated room for another might be found. It will be remembered how some two or three years ago the German emperor in the course of a speech referred rather rudely to the “grumblers” (Norgler) at the existing regime, and advised all such to shake off the dust of the Vaterland’s soil. The speech created an unusual stir in all circles, and there was a large contingent of officials and others who took the hint and became known forthwith as Staubabschuttler. Rulow,

who had always something to say or write, held his tongue tills time, hut

with one trial. He fired another pistol at the first philharmonic concert he at the back of the man, and afterwards | conducted in Rerlin as he stepped on discharged a fowling piece at him with the platform he took out a very large similar effect, or rather, non-effect, j handkerchief and in full view of the lie also tried to pierce the coat with a • audience began to dust his shoes, just

to show that he was not satisfied with

he had given him.

The llevereuce of Sioux Indian*

Supposed Lunatic.

One of the peculiar characteristics of tlie Indian is his reverence, amounting to absolute fear, of an insane person, and he never harms one whom he believes to be mentally affected. When the expedition headed by Gen. Custer was exploring the Hlack Hills, it was accompanied by a half-dozen college professors from the east, and these scientific gentlemen worried the soldiers beyond description. The country was swarming with hostile .Sioux, and every professor had a guard of five men. They would go around picking up bugs, chasing butterflies and breaking up rocks, until the soldiers voted every one of them lunatics. One day. the most learned old professor of the lot managed in some way to get out of sight of his guard and wandered two or three miles away, right into a party of Sioux, lie walked up to them calmly and offered to shake hands. They promptly grabbed him, and then dived down into the green baize bag he carried. It was half full of lizards, and pieces of clay, and bits of rocks and bugs, and the Indians gazed at the assortment in amazement. Just then the professor caught sight of a peculiar bug, which he captured, and began to study with a magnifying glass. That settled it. The chief took him by the hand, led him to a hill close by, and, pointing to tlie troops in the valley, said kindly: “Go!” The professor came into camp, and said to Gen. Custer: “Your soldiers totally misunderstand the Indians. I found them the most polite and courte-

the existing state of things. He took it also musically out of | Count Hochburg when that amiable , despot had him turned out of the Rerlin opera house. It was at a piano1 forte recital at the Singacademie, I where, by way of a prelude, Rulow I just played the first few bars of J Figaro's aria, "Se vuol ballarc, Sig. | Contino." Rulow's sarcastic vein found also un outlet in a composition of little merit, but one by which he, strangely enough, set great store, “Humoristische Quadrille aus Motiven der Oper Benvenuto Cellini von Rerlioz,” a mistake not easily explained in so serious an artist and due probably to a passing

influence.

“OLD NANCY.’

LIBERTY Or THE PRESS.

Vico President Stevenson’s Innovation ut the Opening of the Senate .Sessions. Vice President Stevenson has made the opening ceremony in tlie senate more impressive than it was by several changes in the arrangements, says the Philadelphia Record. For example, a few minutes before twelve o'clock all the pretty, pleasant little pages in their knickerbocker suits range themselves directly in front of the senatorial dc les in n semicircle, each hoy standing in front of a desk and being separated from the next boy by the space between the desks, so that it is a well-ordered line. Then at one minute before twelve the vice president himself walks in from his room behind the chamber, followed by the chaplain, Rev. Dr. Milburn, f he blind man eloquent," led by the smallest of all the pages, who conducts him at Mr. Stevenson’s request, not a> formerly to tlie clerk's desk, but to the vice president's own place, while the vice president modestly takes his station at the side of his desk on a level with the clerk's desk, and the other officers of the senate form in line in front of the clerk's desk. The vice president takes up the little white ivory barrel, which serves him for a gavel, brings it down with a light tap on ins greeu-coveteJ d.—k and softly says: “The chaplain will offer prayer.” At this word every senator In the chamber rises to his feet and bows his head, if he does not close his eyes, in what seems to be a reverential attitude, and remains thus while the blind chaplain, in his musical and sonorous voice, and always original style, invokes the Divine blessing.

L\i<letitly No Good. Nome years ago an enormous deposit of anthracite coal was discovered in Canada,and it was thought that if a duty t\us not placed upon it, our miners in 1’ennsylvauia would be driven from the field. Somebody secured a specimen of the Canadian anthracite and sent it to a savant at Yale, who was asked to give his opinion upon it. He made an f (tarnination of it, and wrote hack: “My opinion, after a careful examination of this coal, is that the man who sits upon it on the day of judgment will be the l»st to burn.”

The Narrow-He a (led Man Tells of an Indiana Editor's Peculiarities. “Talk about the liberty of the press,” exclaimed a narrow-headed man with a faded carpet-bag in his hand as he stood on the platform waiting for an accommodation train, “talk about the liberty of the press, why there's an editor in Indiana that I know that tal.es the cake, and no mistake;” says the Detroit Free Press. "What does he do with it?" queried a nice little man; “give St to his subscribers as a premium?” The narrow-headed man didn't notice him any more than if he had been a dab of mud on his horseskin hoots. "As I was saying." he went on, "that editor out there ain't wider than a postage stamp edgeways. Why, would you believe it, he won’t speak of the sunshine in his paper, because his father-m-laiv is the president of the electric light factory and he thinks the submits tlie old man out of hall the business ever}’ day. Now, what do you think of that?” “What was it Apoilvj htrucl:?’’ inquired tlie nice little man, and the nar-row-headed man didn't know what the nice little man was talking about.

History of an Illicit Still Which Hat Been Operated for Thirty Years. The capture of an illicit still operated near Sinking mountain by Deputy Collector Rrown recalls a story of longcontinued defiance of law. The still was bought in New Haven in 1S5S and was put to use on the plantation of the late George Dye. When the war opened, says tlie St. Louis Globe-Dem-ocrat, it passed into the hands of a Habersham county whisky dealer, who did a rushing business for four years. There was no railroad at the time within one hundred miles of this section, and the liquor made by “Old Nancy," as the still was fondly named, was the favorite trade not only through northeast Georgia, but crossed the lines into North and South Carolina. Once the still was embargoed by the officers of Habersham in IS'ifi because of the demoralization it created among the small boys, who, with the old men, were about all there were left. With the restoration of United States authority "Old Nancy” became contraband. Revenue prisoners brought before United States commissioners would tell about how “Old Nancy" was prospering, but try as they would the officers never could capture the still. When the distillers of one community found themselves too closely pressed they would run tlie still over the mountain or down the creeks to where companions in lawlessness would secure possession of it, and they would run it until compelled to do likewise. This was the still in quest of which Lieut. McIntyre, of the United States army, was killed in Gilmore county in 1575. Subsequently it was run back east, being operated on Warwomnn creek, in Rabun county, for several years. Of late the officers heard that this will-o'-the-wisp, which they have been following for thirty years, was in operation in a secluded region near Sinking mountain. Collector Rrown, with an armed posse, successfully located the spot one night during a violent rainstorm. The moonshiners fled, giving the officers the opportunity of destroying the whole plant.

Amputating n Lion's Tail. At Matlras. some time ago. a valuable lion having incautiously allowed its tail to stray into an adjoining cage, the tail was seized by an evil-disposed leopard, close to the body. When the lion attempted to escape almost the whole of the skin of Itis tail was stripped off. This was followed by such an amount of inflammation that the lion’s life was in danger. Surgeon Maj. Miller, brother of the late I'rof. Miller, of Edinburgh, the surgeon to the governor of Madras, volunteered to perform amputation. The lion was seized in his cage and his head covered with a cap containing a quantity of chloroform, lie was then dragged to the edge of the cage and the tail passed through the bars, where Dr. Miller cleverly performed his operation. The animal made a goqil recovery.

How the Fire Inland Seas First Received Their Names. The first discoverers of Lake Ontario gave it tlie name '‘Saint Louis;" another party of travelers called it “Frontenac,” after the great pioneer. Then came the English, who preferred to call it “Ontario” or “Katarnkui.” George Washington, in his journal as surveyor, gives it both these names. "Ontario" proved tlie more popular, however, and was finally adopted. Lake Huron was named after the famous Indian tribe that lived upon its borders. Hennepin in 1098 called it “Karegnondi.” In Washington's journal it is mentioned as “Onatoghi,” or

"Huron."

Lake Michigan was for many years called “Lake Illinois,” from the tribe of Indians who lived near it. Ip 1719 the pioneer Soncr gave it the present name of Michigan, and this was ratified by Charlevoix in 1744. Champlain was the first one to describe Lake Superior, and on his map it is called "Grand Lac.” Later on the Jesuit fathers called it “Tracey,” or “Superior.” The English Sener called it "Nadonssions,” another title for “Slone.” Late in the last century it received its present name, and the matter was decided by the government on the early mapsoof survey. Lake Erie was often called “The Cat,” “Fells," or “Du Chat,” from one of the names of the Erie tribe, who lived on its banks. Sener, in 1719,
