A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

SECOND EDITION.

Town-Talk.

The talk of the town this week has been largely of tho murder, and the probabilities of the finding of the murderers.. 1 An immense throng u&tberd at Ceijtgnary Church, filling the audience rood and the street* leading thereto, on Sunday, to attend the funeral service. More fchfen could have crowded into that, or any.Qtjier churcU of the city, would have attended tbo funeral of Mr. Mattox on any Sunday, even if he had died a natural death, for he was a man widely known in this community *nd heartily respected wherever known. Probably few-oHifcemt, asswell knowd- as -M*\' Mtft tox, as much before thepublic,ever had so few words spoken against him, and none was ever more universally honored. But the peculiarly sad and wicked method of his taking off incressed the throng of those iri attendance tiftpn, tip funeral rites, which were of the most sadly interesting eliartu&teri While the skies sbonw thehf bright'dtt ind all nature seemed decked' in holiday attire, there mmm feeling of sadnessartd sympathy somewhat at vSrfttnee with large assemblages of this kind, for aa remarked in the course of the service "funerals are freqiient so frequent 1 ladled, that they make too little Impression on the minds of tho livings we usually bury our dead, join tho Jdultttttde, and rush on until thesaine fate overtakes as.

say. There may be some ground for sensitiveness about interfering with pescable and orderly citizens, who carry concealed weapons—though T. T. believes that, for the public good, and their own good, the law should be enforced against them—bnt there ought to be no sensitiveness about taking arms from men who get into the station house. The fact is that the whole public sentiment has become so demoralized on this subject that a pistol has come to be regarded as quite as proper a thing to carry in the pocket as a pen-knife, corkscrew or toothpick. T. T. places blame on nobody for the past, but he desires to say that, for the future, this community prr Vests against turning men loose from the station house with pistols concealed in their pockets. This is a good time also to stiffen up a little the feeling of

rERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY

on the part of criminals. There is much palaver about "society," and about "adverso circumstances," "defective temperaments," and the like, that criminals cojne to regard themselves, and hy many are regarded, as simply or chiefly "unfortunate." The prisons and haunts of vice are lull of men and women, who talk of their "misfortune," when they ought to think and talk of their outrageous wickedness. Some of the best men that live are cursed with the worst tempers, but they contiol them. Some of the most industrious men and women are naturally indolent. Some of the

A' hushed

stillness pervaded the vast audience and the feeling exteMefl to themftHKude in the Streets. Th9 choir Sang sweetly and touchlngly. ReV. Slimson wad an appropriate passage impressively. Rev. Darwood, while he said If he had hlS choice his plied woufd "6i0 ftf'fhe pew a with the bereaved moutners, spoke eloquently of the recognition of friends in neaven. Klder Greene followed with ji truthful memoir, in whlcbt a* the virtues of the dead man were recited, his most Intimate friend* were surprised at tho good record left bohiftd, and then for near an hour1 friends passed In view of the casket takh^ aHfeft look Oh the doad *'ti6

There is a mawkish sympathy with criminals T^trfc fe & stlro'ng argument against ^apitftl, pi nipbfnei|t on, .the ground that-thew inability to mistake, and tho error cannot be'eofreoted. There may be a question, wbfitbe/,, as ,ao^ think, there is iiotgfreatjr terror to tho guilty in life imprisonment than in death. But so far as the criminal him* self is concerned, there, caii bo no place in all the universe where a man who commits such a crime can be of any less use than in this world., But however that may be, these men should find some sure and swift and dreaded penalty. T. T. would not hesitate an instant to shodt1a man attempting to enter his house, Or foftbd lta it, for the purpose of robbery, and he would "shoot to kill." And he believes that In so doing he would not only be justified but praiseworthy. It is time fer society, or the State, to use prompt and efflciept means with these fellows, holding them responsible lor, their crimee. In this connection it is appropriate to say a ,ai

WOBD ABOUT LAWSKHS.

The worst criminal that lives has certain inalienable rights before the law, rights which, in the interest of the entire community, should never ba violated. Tho lawyer who attempts simply to secure these rights Is in the discharge of his duty. T. T., if a lawyer—and he may or may not be oae—Ivould not hesitate *o take the case of one whom he knetf to be guilty of even this murder. But he would only secure him his rights —his right to a lair trial, his right to the benefit- of all ameliorating ffcets, his irtght to every benefit allowed him' by the law. But the lawyer Who, by means of delay, technicalities and~qtrtbbies, by means of a false plea, an assumption of oonfideace in the innocence of the criminal, or by any of the^ thousand and one qnlps snd quirl^^xYttM^ins of which ustlce

any subject, suah ss philosopby, poetry, geometry, letters." One of the commonest maxims is' that poets tfe born and not made .tbat the gift of poesy descends from Heaven, as did the tongues of fire at the day of Pentecost, and alights unhidden on the favored sons of song. What we know of the poets does not wholly confirm this theory. Pope, who was reported to hsve "lisped in numbers, for the numbers cams," did not always find these same "numbers" so tractable, for some ot his manuscript, preserved in the British Museumf is. so scratched, and interlined and written over, as to be almost undecipherable. Southoy and Wordsworth worked laboriously to get their lines to suit them while Tom Moore, whose light songs seemed to burst from him with the unpremeditated art and ease of a spring warbler, cudgelled his brains for half a week to mould a single stanza to' his taste. The same has been true pf pitose writers. Lord Macauley,.tbe most elegant of English authors, whose brilliant essays read as if they had flowed from his pen in a continuous and unbroken stream of splendid rhetoric, was a careful and painstaking workman, first drafting bis essays ib lines Wide apart and afterwards filling in, elaborating and changing until they presented the polished condition in which they appeared in type. It is said that John Stuart Mill wrote all bis books over twice from beginning to end while parts of Gibbon's histories wero written as many as three times. Taking up one of Dickens's novels tho-reader would not suppose that the Sentences which flow so smoothly were constructed with slow and patient toil yet it is known that Dickens worked with a laboriobsness that at times was almost, painful. "He grudged no labpr in bis work," says Sir Arthur Helps. And doubtless if we oeuld go to the inner life of evei'y atithdr ^rho bas Written anything' worthy of lasting regard we should find.but one more illustration of the value and power of latbor.' 7

It is not different in other pursuits. Inquiring one day concerning the early life of a now eminent lawyer^ As to the impression he ibade ou those who knew him at that time, the answer,came MHe was always considered a promising Wan. Hei was always exceedingly careful.in t&e preparation of his cases and nevex would, and will not. to this day, have anything to do with a case unless he could become perfectly fatplliar with it." Here then wps the real secretof bis strength not so much his genius, his quick perceptions/his' cogerit reasoning or his splendid eloquence, as the profound study and .painstaking preparations of his case. Here is a lessoti for young men and tot some that are not so young. It is folly to. deny, that some minds are better than others, of keener and clearer quality, Of finer testate, of greater breadth' and. scope doubtless there is among men that natural superiority of faculties Wbl$BT~Is commonly called genius hut if it be true as Dr. Dewey says, that genius is that in the mind which

will

"oKsn^s.

Says Dr. Dewey in one of HLsT cliar and thoughtful discourses:

HThe

young

man, it is often said, has genius enoagh if he wonld only study. Now the troth is, ss Ishall take the liberty to state it, that genius will study it is that in the mind which does study that is the very feature of It." It is H&3ierton*s opinion that "in mirations oomeonly to the disciplined the indolent wait for them in vain.** *f

study. The evi

dence strongly tends to show that in this, as in many other things, the popular idea is erroneous.

Now It does not follow by any means that everyone can make himself a genius by hard study but if he can't do'it that way it is very certain that he can't do it in any other. And if he isn't and can't be a genius at all, he can be a thorough, competent and respectable workman ip whatever he is engaged and that is all that is givon the great majority Of men to be. And there Is this about It: the second rate man who has made the most that he oould of himself is entitled to and will reooSve much more consideration and respect than the "genius" who has let himself run to seed through his neglect and indolence. Snch a man always reminds me of a plant of lettttce that has run up Into a worthless stalk,. towering self-consciously above the unpretentious plants which have quietly expanded into good, solid heads beloV.
