mid when the Judge gave Iilm the usual part-
ItiK advice it was to rustic around and llml
fW ) and deposit it Jn this city treasury , to
gether with the costs of a trial that lusted
nearly all afternoon. On Wednesday nlht |
Jeffries accompanied another hackmau named
J. H. Smith , to the residence of Mrs. C. 1C ,
Hamilton , n woman who washes nnd sews for
H living. The visit was made for the p > r-
pose of Kctthitf some clotlies that .some of
Smith's friends had loft there. The woman
doubted the propriety of giving him the jar-
incuts , and no begun to abuse her by apply *
li > K the most offensive nnd vulgar language to
her in the presence of her children , one of
them n little ( jlrl. She ordered him to cease
talking so or leave the house , but ho replied
with still morn offensive language. The
woman's temper was aroused tit the shame-
'
fui'lnsults , mint she picked up a mallet and
Bttempted to drive him from her house.
Jeffries then took a bnnd hi the matter by
striking the woman and knocking her down
nnd kicking her on the arm and sldo. She
showed the court some very ugly bruises
which she received from the blows while de
fending her home , and the highest line ilxcd
by the law for such offenses was imposed ,
JeJTrics was defended by an attorney , who
gave notice that ho would appeal the case to.
the district court. The appeal bond wns

"Judge Dcemer's decision In the paring In
junction cnso wus one of the most important
that has been delivered from thu Iowa bench
for many years , " suid an attorney yesterday.
"It involved the interests of all the largo
cities of the state , and If it had been against
us them would have been no more paving In
Council Bluffs for the next twenty years , 01
any other public Inun-ovonients , and all the
cities of the llrst class would have been in the
sinio llx. 'llio attack was a subtle one , skill
fully planned nml' executed , and reflects u
good deal of credit upon the shrewdness of
the attorneys who hail it In charge , and If It
had been successful the precedent established
would have been taken advantage of when
ever any public improvement wus started Iu
any of the eitics. It would hnvo been a ilUsa-
greeablo and dangerous precedent , for ono
man , with Influence ! and property enough to
proeu.ru u little Indemnifying bond , could
hnvo stuped the Improvements in every city
In I own.
"I look upon the decision ns coming from a
broad , liberal , but yet acute judicial mind ,
capable of grasping every phase of any ques
tion that may ho presented , and I think It Is
simply moro evidence indicating that Judge
Deoiner is rapidly develoiiing Into a ripeness
that will lit him for the discharge of the du
ties of the highest positions iu the Judiciary
of this country. "

"There nro hundreds of forfeited bonds In
the hutids of the clerk of the superior court ,
thut would briny thousands of dollnrs Into
the city treasury if their payment was eii-
/orced , " suid a city oftldnl yesterday. "The
city council 1ms been \vrMtllng with tlili
suliject for a long time but no dcllnlto course
has tjccn decided upon to secure the money
that has been thus forfeited. It is otic of
those tliltiRS which is everybody's business
nml nobody takes any Interest in It.
" 1 believe there Is no other court In the
world , " ho continued , "where the obligations
assumed by bondsmen tire treated with so
little inturest ns In the superior nnd police
courts of Council Ululls. The result Is , und
it Is a bad one , too , Hint tlio obligation of a
bond lias become to bo loolcod upon ns of no
consoriucnco at all , und almost uny fello\v
can induce almost any hum to go on his bond
wlicm ho gets Into trouble. This is particu
larly tlio cnso where appeals nro taken from
tlio sentences of the police Judge. The cir
cumstances in ull cases nro about the same.
A fellow is arrested for an ti ravntcd as
sault , for instance , tiiul the judge lines him
$ . ' 5 or $ .10 and cojts. Ho has employed an
attorney , und the attorney give's notice nt
once that bo will appeal the ease to the dis
trict court. Tlio appeal bond is fixed ut SilJJ
orfllOS , nnd the cnso pot's up. Nobody pays
nny further attention to it. No attorney or
prosecuting witness appears in the district
court to hold up the state's side , and niter
druKL'in ? uloii n while It Is dismissed und
stricken from tlio docket. The follow who
1ms been guilty of nn attroclous crime gets
off without any punishment whatever except
the few hour * hu may hnvo laid in the cooler
between the tlmo of his arrest und
Ills arraignment. " Take tlio case
of Bill Jeffries who was fined
$ . " 0 and costs today for nssault committed last
night , for an Illustration. His attorney gave *
notice of appeal and the court fixed tlio bond
at WOO. It , is probable lie will rustic around
nnd get tlio bond tilled by responsible parties ,
but tUo case will never bo followed up , nnd
will bo dismissed for the lack of prosecution ,
the bondsmen will be relieved of their obliga
tions by tbo dismissal and Jeffries will get no
punishment whatever. There hnvo been a
thousand similar cases to my knowledge. In
fact I do not think tbo records of tlio court
will show that there has ever been a single
case that lias been followed up and prosecuted
In tbo district court , at least I bavo never
heard of u single caso.
"I do not know whether it is so or not here ,
but on the surface there appears to 'be ' the
same condition of things hero nnd the same
practices prevailing as in a town where I
used to live. There were n number of attor
neys who made their living by pnieticinp in
the police court , and they got all the business.
When n man \r. arrested for a little petty
crime , such as assault and battery or a drunk
with unusually ornate trimmings , anil tbo po
lice judge imposed a flue that was more than
the fellow cared to pay , bis attorney would
go to him nnd say , 'Here , you give mo about
the amount of an ordinary ilno.say § 10 or 315 ,
and twill appeal vourraso and get your bond
iilled , ami thut will 'bo the lost you will ever
hear of it. ' Tlio fellow coughs up the inonoy ,
the case fails for lack of prosecution , and tlio
attorney has got u double fee , court costs
have boon piled upon the taxpayers , which
are paid , and that is the lastof it. Mind , I do
not say that wo have nny of the shyster class
practicing before the police court hero ; in
fact I don't think wo have. but
the lirst part ol the comparison is
absolutely just. Out of a tthousand cnscs
which bavo been nppcaled to a higher court
there ought to hnvo at least been ono followed
up and prosecuted. "
Turning to Dcuuty Marshal White , theofll-
ccr asked : "How many cases that have been
appealed from police court have been followed
up and prosecuted in the district that Is ,
small cases , assault and battery ! "
' 'Never heard of one , " was the deputy's
brusque response.
It is difficult to fix tbo responsibility for
these failures. The city attorney does not
prosecute them , neither docs the county at
torney. . Often the plaintiff employs nn attor
ney to' prosecute them , whcli the cnso Is
carried up , and after six'months have elapsed
he doesn't care to bo put to any rnoro trouble ,
nnd ho drops out even if his attorney is nnx-
lous to follow up his victory In the lower
court.
It Is estimated by the city clerk that there
nro several thousand dollars which the city
could recover from forfeited bonds iu crimi
nal cases If the matter was taken up. Jinny
of these bonds tire in cases of felony where
the accused left the city immediately after
'
getting bond accepted. Many of the 'bonds
men are not worth the bond now , but there
are plenty of cases where they are , and it
would be n prolltublo field for some eaterpris-
lug legal gleaner in tlio employ of the city.

A Desperate Ijtiliilde.
iJetiiilsof the desperate suicide of a Potta-
wattamlo county man well known through-
outtho western part ot the state have been
received by Ids friends atValuut , this
county. The unfortunate man was W , II.
Nogloy , who owned the largo mill nnd eleva
tor at that place , and also an elevator at Man
ning and another at A.uilubon , besides having
Interests In similar plants in nearly all the
grain delivery points in western Iowa. Several
oral months ago it became evident to his
friends that Ills mind was falling , ami lib
father came out from the old homo In Ohio to
look after his interests. The mental condi
tion of his son was such that ho found it nec
essary to take him homo with him. This
was done , and the young man was placed in
n private asylum for treatment. Under tlio
care of the physicians of the institution lie
rapidly recovered his former mental vigor ,
and his friends were informed that ho was In
u lit condition to bo discharged and advised
Uts removal to his father's home. His father
came to the institution to take him homo.
Ho was apparently mentally and physically
in Ids normal condition and extremely anx
ious to return to his business liiIowa. | * When
bo arrived at thu railway station to tuku the
train for homo ho seemed to be In a very
cheerful frame of initul , and wns walking
backward and forward on the platform talk
ing in im animated manner with his friends.
A passenger tram was pulling out , and Neg-
ley stood on the edge of the platform watch
ing tbo fncos of the passengers through the
windows of the coaches , Ho had thrust bis
thumbs in the armholcs of his vest ,
nnd was standing bcsldo his father
with his hcud thrown back facing the
moving trjln. As tlio last coach was passing
a sudden insane fronk seized him und lid
sprang headlong from the platform and felt
under the couch with hU head resting on tlio
rail , A stVoud later the rear trucks of tlio
coach Imd passed over his neck , completely
beheading him , The spring from tbo pint-
form beneath the moving train was so sud
den that tbo horrified father could not have
prevented the act , even II the mauuer ol liU
son had indicated the do pcrata deslro that
Imd seized tils brain.

The clly council field a special session lust
evening for the purpose of llxlng the location
of the arc lights that they hnvo decided to
place on street intersections to do nway with
n large number of the gasoline burners , and
to 11.up the contract and bond of M. A.
Moore , to whom has been awarded the two
miles of brick pavement. The early part of
the session was consumed In the discussion
of the light problem , The aldermen , us u
committee of the whole , have spent several
evenings of this week in riding nbout the
city nnd noting the dark places , and deciding
where the sixteen additional nrc lights should
be placed. There was some little ullTorenco
of opinion that hud not been settled when
they mot , last evening. Aldcrmna Mike-
soil had insult ) some rash promises to
his constituents In Streetsvlllo , and wanted a
largo number of- the lamps located there , birfc-
Chairman Casper of the light committee , who
has a geed deal to sny about the matter , and
whoso Judgment has always proved to bo
sound , objected and wus sustained by the
other members , very much to the sorrow of
Mihcsell.
The locations agreed upon wcro nt the In-
teracctlons of Bloomer nnd Madison streets ,
and nt the point whom the motor line makes
the turn to enter Fulrnioutit park ; South
Madison and 1'lutncr ; Seventh street nnd
Willow avenue : Sixth avenue nnd Ninth
street ; Main-and Worth streets ; Worth and
Bluff streets ; I'errln nvcnuo and Frank
street ; Broadway unit Twenty-sixth ; Fifth
avenue and Twelfth ; Second avenue and
Thirteenth ; Benton nnd Prospect streets.
Two Hghta wore ordered located on Lower
Broadway , at points to bo determined by the
committee on lights.
Alderman Casper moved that nil gasoline
lumps within two blocks of any are Ilirhls bo
discontinued , and tlio motion prevailed.
It was decided to relocate u number of the
gasoline lamps at points where the street In
tersections wcro shadowed by trues and tall
buildings.
The suggestion of the interference of 'tho
foliage of the trees brought a resolution from
Alderman Uue.y requiring all property owners
to properly trim their trees in front of their
property on the streets or overhanging the
sidewalks. The resolution wns passed after
amending It to make it rend "incompliance
with tlio ordinance regulating the trimming
cf trees. " The city marshal was uireotod to
notify all persons who had neglected to com
ply with the ordinance , nnd if they failed , to
uo the work and charge tlio costs to them.
W. W. Cones was given the contract for
building n plank bidcwalk on Twenty-third
street nt 10'iJ ' cents per lineal foot.
The cleetrio motor company was notified to
put in full width crossings at Twenty-third ,
Twenty-fourth and Twcuty-sixrti streets.
The mayor culled attention to the proposi
tion of an eastern publishing house to bind In
an elegant volume with gold edges nnd em
bossed morocco covers the messages ana doc
uments submitted to tlio council for a num
ber of years past , and the annual reports of
the heads of departments. The proposition
was to bind fifty of the volumes for WO nnd
let the mayor present them to the various
city ofllccrs. A sample copy of their binding
was submitted , but Alderman Wind blew up
the bubble by vehemently protc.stlng that
paper covers weno good enough for him and
nil others who had any use for the volumes.
Tlio contract and bond of Mr. Moore were
called for , but that gentleman asked further
tlmo to look over the contract that Imd been
drawn up nnd asked that he bo given until 2
o'clock this afternoon. Ho hud his bond
ready and was ready to commence tl o work
of paving on Monday , but would like to have
a liulo moro tlmo to lix up the contract. The
council granted his request aiid adjourned
until a o'clock this afternoon.

Sheriff O'Neill has nn eye to outward ap
pearance , and Is very ambitious to have his
boarding house sustain as good a rep.utatlon
as possible. Occasionally ho has a short
tmo prisoner doing tbo outside chores , and
working around the building. A very leun ,
lank , cadaverous sort of a prisoner was com
plaining to the sheriff tbo other dny because
ho thought tlioro was partiality shown.
"Why don't you let mo do a little of that outside -
side work once in a while , so that I qould get
n breath of trcsh uiri You know I wouldn't
mil nwny. "
"Mun alive , haven't ' you even a little bit of
sense I Do you think I would , let such n
skeleton as you show up on the outsldol It
would bo a give-away. Everybody would
say 1 was not feeding the prisoners well.
Now you see that fellow that is out there
ndw. Hn's a fat ono. Ho must weigh nigh
three hundred. That's the kind of samples
to have for the passers-by to gaze on. Then
a fello\vsays , 'They must feed the fellows
pretty well there , ' nnd ho tries to got in. "
It is whispered , that the sheriff has another
little trick to keep up the reputation of bis
bouso. When a visitor chances to comment
upon the sickly or oinuclatod condition of n
prisoner the sheriff will slyly remark , "Oh ,
he's a new coiner. Ho only came in yester
day IIo'll boiill right in n few weeks , like
that fnt fellow over there , " und then ho
points to his favorite sample ,

At least twenty yours luivo passed
hico an obscure writer , who enjoyed n

lucl himself a literary { jltint in the
Htiinatloii of many , through the publi *
ation of a single siketch of soiuo thirty *

mbllc rccogtiltioii boon so candid und
onipleto. The Cullfornln mull , brlns-
tig with it "Tlio Luok of Ho.itiny
Cump"sooiucd to touch a symptitlmtio
honl of humanity that diil not eoaso to
ibruto until it reached London. The
mlf'frifjlitonwl uutliorwas overwhelmed
vith letters of consrntulallon timl
rdera of eilltors for future "copy , " und
) uforo another year haii passed his fame
mil grown too grout for tlio city of the
Golden Gate , says a writer in the Now
York Star. Lured by the llatterin-r
H'calh of prntsoandtho echo of u re-
IOWH that filled the npprocmtlvo cast ,
ho young litomteur laid aside his cdi-
orlnl pun and jouruoyod toward the ris-
ng sun of ills greatness.
That journey was n triumphal pro-
rress. At every town the trumpet of
) \uno was blown lioforo him , anil ho was
nude the recipient of substantial hon
ors. It was seen for onoo that Amuri-
mis cherished u lively regard for the
nakors of their literature. Crowned
vith the chanlets of applauding multi-
tides , the wrilor reached the metropol is
ind took up his abode among us , but only
or a brief interval. As if convinced that
lie star of his success was over beckon-
ng him eastward , ho soon left us for for-
oifii shores. After a sojourn upon the
continent , ho eventually settled in Lou-
Ion. Iu that emporium of literature and
art ho seems contented to romnln , and if
vo may judj'o by the blazon of a ( rroat
eputatlon that comes to us , as shown in
ocial admiration , Haltering reviews und
over increasing sales , the author is omi-
iciitly wisein his choice.
Wo live too fast on this side of tho-
Atlantic to mtiko hours lasting. Thu idol
of today becomes the plaything of tomor-
ow , and in the dust mid turmoil of daily
trugglo the bloom and fragrance of
ichicvementsaro lost. It Is the older civ-
lizations which 1m vo probed and realized
he future that Hud time and leisure
.o bo settled in their convictions. "Tlio
icydiiy in their bood is tame , " and who
soever quickens it into lifo again will
ind his efforts requited. Certainly tlio
writer who has been so fortunate as to
uvakon the admiration of the old world
is wise to live with the inhabitants and
enjoy the rustle of his laurels.
Wo cannot , therefore , in 11 professional
sense , flnd fault with Bret Ilnrto for his
eng sojourn abroul. ; "Were it , indeed ,
'or no other reason , , the condition of the
AmnHi'nii Ronvrlirht law is sulllciciit to
justify his choice. Edgar Saltus has said
iomowhoro that the apathy of the United
States in its neglect of the rights of na
tive writers is enough to ' 'make an
author turn anarchist , " aud that , until
justice is done , the government is
'guilty of nothing Ics3 Hum compound
ing a felony , " n conclusion in which
most of the novelists of our day will
coincide. By living in London the
American author is enabled to secure ut
once the protection of both govern
ments and to reap the emolu
ments of a double sale. Bret Ilnrto
has been shrewd enough to avail him
self of this. And it is said that the in
habitants of Albion regard him as a
prodigy and never cease to wonder at the
genius which can draw such pure and
perfect pictures of virgin nature whtlo
hemmed in by the briclc and mortar of
that great city , which n cynic has de
scribed as "an invocation to suleido writ
instono. "
It is the merit of Bret Ilurlo to have
struck the keynote of the American Iliad
and Odyssey. Ho Is the founder of u
school. In him most of the later short-
story writers and novel its of the .south
have found their inspiration. It first oc
curred to him to immortalize that "pic
turesque passing civilization" of the
frontier whoso escutcheon was a rod
shirt and a derringer. The great suc
cess of his masterly sketches awakened
in other artistic minds the desire to por-
potuuto1 their own environment. The
result has been what is gener
ally recognized ns the southern
movement in American litcraturo ,
which has called forth Cable's ' 'Old
Creole Days , " Gruddoek's ' 'Tennessee
Mountain Stories , " Soely's "Lono Star
Sketches , " Woolson's -Florida Tales , "
the "Alabama Studios" of Edwards , and
"Undo Itoinus" and tlio "Virginia
Glimpses" of Amelia IVivos and Miss
McClelland.
lie who reads narrowly the works of
this later coterie of American writers
can readily discern how truly it is tinc
tured with the veined humanity of the
muster just as a careful critic may de
tect In Ilarto's own writings his allegi
ance to Dickens , Thackeray , Irving and
Hawthorne ; for genius Jms ever its fol
lowing , and in the line of the vast stim
ulus lie has supplied to American obser
vation and portraiture , is the mlt-sion ol
this great author to ba regarded. Our
civilization is constantly changing.
With each year the natural char
acteristics of our vast territory
are receiving > ' 'the ' transforming
leaven of foreign immigration.
The day is nqt , far uwuy when
wo shall attain a certain Inslplt :
homogeneity without the prosenl
quaint flavors of , locale and dialect.
Truly , they who have embalmed foi
prosperity those Flle"otiiig types of our
race should inori'i ' , our appreciation tint ]
gratitude ,
In success in literature two things at
least are Indispensable : clearness of ob
servation and felicity of expression.
The great art of modern letters is that
of suggestion. The novelist nowadays
appeals to a public eo intelligent tint !
discerning that ho no longer need adopt
the labored and 'didactic ' tone of an
earlier century. Open any volume of
Smollot or Fielding and you will bo
ama/od nt the careful und painstaking
detail with which these old-fashioned
story tellers unfold their Impressions.
They wrote In the Infancy of thoirtirtand
for an audlenco which could well ondiiro
their prollxitv. 1'eoplo are so well read
inourprosont clay that they do not require
im author to elaborate his Ideas. Quick
to see and understand , If the cue Is given
thom , they relish the originality of the
thought. It Is the pregnant utterance ,
the pithy saying , that delights and en
tertains. In all thcso requisites our au
thor Is t n adopt. As an observer of the
various phenomena of nature ho la un
surpassed , and ho possesses an artistic
perception , associated with n nubtlo
irony , that is unrlv.-illml. No uuthoi
can by a few mnstorly phrases present o
Bcono more vividly to the reader
Henceforth It becomes a background
igalnst which the inrldonts of his story
ire distinctly Bllhoultod.
t do not know how I cnn more faith *
ully show thin than by tifow well chosen
excerpts from his works. Take , for ox-
untile , his novel "Oabrlol Conroy , "
which lias to dual with the fortunes nnd
n'lviitian.s of u party of emigrants lost
unld the the rigor of u Slornm winter.
110 opens the story with this wonderful
ilcluru ,
" .Snow. Everywhere. As far as the
eye could roach fifty mile ? , looking
southward from the highest while peak ,
billing ravines and gulches , and drop
ping from the walls of canons In white ,
shroud-like drifts , fashioning the divlil-
tig ridge into the llkoncss of a mons
trous grave , hiding the bases of giant
linen , and completely covering
r' < ) ung trees and larohoH , rim *
nlng with porcelain the howl-
Iko edges of still , eold lakes , and undu
lating In motionless white billows to the
edge of the distant horizon. Snow lay-
ng every whore over the California Sier
ras on the loth day of .March 1818 , nnd
stilt falling.
"It had been snowing for ton days ,
snowing in llnelv granulated powder , in
lamp , spongy llalces ; Ln thin , feathery
plumes ; snowing from the leaden sky
steadily ; snowing llorcely , shaken out
of purple-blaclc clouds in white , lloccit-
cut tniuses , or dropping in long , level
.ines like white lances from the tumbled
ind broken heavens. Hut always si-
.otitly ! The woods were so choked with
.1 , the branches wcro so laden with It ,
t hud so permeated , llllod and possessed
Lho sky ; it had so cushioned and mullled
the ringing rocks and echoing hills , that
111 sound was deadened. The strongest
Ljust , the llorcost gale awoke no sigh or
complaint from the snow packed , rigid
Hies of forest. There was no cracking
of bough nor crackling of underbrush ;
the overladen branches of pliioandllr
yielded and gave way without a sound.
The silence was vast , measureless eom-
pleto. "
Or take the following introduction to
Ills "In the Ciirn.uinc7 Woods , " wherein
ho presents to the reader the overawing
sublimity of a mammoth forest the
"
homo of "tho hero and the heroine.
"Tho sun was going down on the Car-
quinuz woods. The few shafts of sun-
.ight that had pierced their pillared
gloom wore lost in unfathomable depths ,
or splintered their ineffectual lances on
Lho enormous trunks of the redwoods.
Lr n time the dull red of their vast
columns and the dull-red of their cast off
bark , which matted the ooholess aisles ,
still seemed to hold a faint glow of the
dying day. But oven this soon passed.
Light and color lied upward. The dark ,
interlaced trectops that hud all day
made an impenetrable shade , broke into
llro hero and there ; their lost spires
glittered , faded and went utterly out.
A weird twilight , that did notcomo from
the outer world , but seemed born of the
wood itself , slowly filled und possessed
the aisles. The straight , tall , colossal
trunks rose dimly into columns of
upward smoke. The few fallen trees
stretched their huge length into obscur
ity , and scorned to bo on shadowy tres
tles. The strange breath that iilled
these mysterious vaults hadx neither
'
coldness' nor moisture ; a dry , fragrant
dust arose from the noisless foot that
trod their bark-strewn lloor ; the aisles
might have been tombs , the fallen trees
enormous mummies , the silence the soli
tude of a forgotten past. "
Bret Ilarto has always been remark
able for tlio grace and beauty of his in
troductions. Ho has the eye nnd the
touch of a master artist. When a scene
has boon presented to the reader , upon
the very threshold of a story , with the
felicity ! have shown , It appeals to him
throughout the book , and palpably ac
companies the narrative like a melody
or a fragrant perfume.
It is the cant of the day to alToct to
despise "line writing" ; to extol and eulo-
gi/.o simplicity. I remember to have
mot critics who wore accustomed to
speak of these masterly periods of our
author ns "purple patches with which
Mr. Ilarto saw lit to embroider his other
wise faultless stories. " It has always
seemed to mo that this protest emanated
from incompetence nnd mediocrity. It
itj well for those' who Inck the cunning of
this prose poet to decry a power which
enables him to call up u bit of landscape
or evoke a view of the sea with a clear
ness of vision that makes the render
fairly catch his breath. Who can lind
it in his heart to quibble with an author-
on the score of rhetoric who given us in
burst burst of conscious poetry this pic
ture of the dawn ?
"It caino with-a hush in the storm ; .it
came with blue openings in the broken
up and tumbled heavens ; it came with
stars that glistened first and then p.ilcd ,
and tit last" sank drowning In those deep
cerulean lakes ; itcamo with those ceru
lean hikes broadening into vaster sens ,
whoso shores expanded at last into ono
illimitable ocean , cerulean no moro , but
llcck'ed with crimson and opal dvcsit ;
came with the lightly lifted misty cur
tain of the day , torn and rent on crag
and pine top , but always lifting , lifting.
It came with the sparkle ot emerald in
the grasses , and the Hash of diamonds in
every spray , with a whisper in the awak
ening woods , and voices in the traveled
roads and trails. "
Tlio "Episode of Fiddlotown" contains
another exquisite description wherein
this magician surprises us with this revo
lution of u halcyon season ,
"And then , without warning , tlioro
dropped from heaven n day so tender , so
mystically soft , so dreamily beautiful ,
so throbbing and alive with the Huttor-
ing of invisible wings , so replete and
bounteously overflowing with an awak
ening mid joyous resurrection not
taught by man or limited by creed that
they thought It lit to bring her out and
lay her in that glorious sunshine that
sprinkled like the droppings of n bridal
torch the happy lintels and doors. And
there she lay beautified and calm. "
Exquisite as our author appears in
thcbo descriptions of natural bconoryho
has a certain vein of irony , which at
times pervades his writing , in its own
way no less delicious , In tills respect
tlioro is no other writer who can approach
preach him. Take this explanation
from "Simpson's Bar" Mr. Jack Ham-
llii speaking :
" 'Ef I was asked to p'int out a party
little village whore a retired sport ns
didn't care for money could oxerciuo his-
self frequent and lively , I'd say Simp
son's liar ; but for a young man with u
largo family depending upqn his exer
tions , it don't pay. ' As Mr. Hamlin's
family consisted mainly of female
ti'lults , this remark is quoted rather to
show the breadth of his humor than the
exact extent of his responsibilities , "
In the sumo story the "Old Man" has
invited some friends to his house , and ho
is fearful that his wife , a modern Xaii-
tlppo , may resent It. A debate follows
witness this droll paraphrase : "Uoforo
ho could reply , Joe Ulmmick suggested ,
with great directness , that It was the old
man's house , and that , invoking the DlJ
vine Power , if the ca o wcro his own , no
would invite whom ho pleased , oven If la
so doing ho Imperiled his milvation. The
powers of evil , ho further remarked ,
should contend against him vainly. All
this delivered with a terseness nnd vigor
lost In this necobsary translation. "
The hero , during a visit to n distant
frontier vlllngo , has a charactorlstio ad
venture , Ilarto cannot mist giving the
reader a hint of It , although it Is done at
the expense of the pout Longfellow , in
the following fanhlon :
"But here ho was waylaid by beauty
beauty opulent Iu chums , allluent in
dress , porsunslvo In speech and Spanish
lit accent ! Jn vain HIIO i-opeuled the In * ,
vltatlon la 'Kxeolsloihappllv scorned !
by all Alplno-ollmbing votit'i nnd ro- ,
teclod by this child of the .Sierras a ro- i
lection ( tottonod In this" Instance by a '
laugh and his hwt gold coin. " I
Colonel Stnrbotllo and his nephew , I
Culpopper , have a similar oxporlenco
with a certain "Dolores : " '
"Krom the convor.sitlon that oniued
Cmpopner gathered that some insult
had been put upon the hulv at a frontier
ball which she had attended that even
ing ; that the colonel , her o Hirt. had
failed to resent It with the sanguinary
completeness which cho desired. I re
gret that , even in a liberal ago , I may
not record the exact and even pictur
esque language in which this wus con
voyed to lior hearers. Enough that , at
the close of a ( lory pororatlon , with
feminine Inconsistency , she Hew at the
gallant colonel and would hnvo visited
nor delayed vengeance upon his luckless
head but for the prompt interference of
Culpoppor. Thwarted in this , she threw
herself on the ground , and then into un-
picturesque hysterics. Tlioro was a line
moral lesson , not only In this grotesque
performance of a sex which cannot
afford to bo grotesque , but in the ludi
crous concern with which It inspired the
two men , Culnopper , to whom woman
was moro or lews nngollc , was pained
and sympathetic. The colonel , to whom
she was moro or less improper , was ox-
ccodlngly torrilled and embarrassed. "
Granted that those two instances are
not fair criteria , but U in perhaps this
tendency to satirize the sex which \imlccs
the average woman chary of the writ-
lugs of llrot Ilnrto. The feminine nature
shrinks instinctively from ridicule.
Knowing her many wpnhnessca , she in-
Irencheshursclf within herfrail fortress ,
preferring the flattery and hypocrisy of
the arch enemy , man , and fearing 'the
penetration of that ironical , but truehearted -
hearted , udmlrer who pierces her 1'ro-
lean disguise. Certain It is that the
Dickens of the Pad He slope is most rel
ished by his own sox. Only the gray-
eyed Minorvas and those daughters of
Kvo who have a dash of vitro ! in their
blood , return without Hindiing Ills dis
criminating security , but yield him the
homage of intellectual admiration.
It is an enchanted wand the Great
Michigan wields. Ills is the empireof
our laughter nnd our tears. And such
is the rare quality of his genius that ho
commands both in a breath. Hardly
has the eyelid trembled with the burden
of his pathos when some sudden fancy
sots it dancing with delight. Joy , rose-
Ifppcd and silver-trebled , strays even
through his pages , hand in hand with
her twin sister , sad-eyed and bweet-
voiced borrows.

"While I am awn re that iho number of
superstitions is legion , says a writer In
American Notes and'Queries , J send you
a few curious ones pertaining to playing
cards which may bo interesting ,
! Most of these superstitions I have
gathered from persons I have met , and ,
while boiiio of them "did not believe In
foolish superstitons , " they would , never
theless , at times when fortune was
against thom , try , some little supersti
tious act "just to see If It would mnko
any dilVeronco in their luck. "
One of the most common superstitions
is that where u rard player who is not
having ( rood luck gets u ] ) nnd solemnly
walks around his chair throe times in
order to propitiate fortune , or the player
will call lor a now pack of cards.
The partners in a game of cards who
have the grain of the table running be
tween thom are also supposed to bo
helped thereby. This , I am told , is tin
Irish superstition.
If you are a card player , and not hav
ing a table in your room , start to play
cards on the bed , then be\ynro , for this
is an act sure to bring misfortunes in
numerable.
Never throw a pack of cards at anyone
ono , as the act will brlngall kinds of bad
luck to the person struck.
When you have a pack of cards which
have seen their best days do not commit
the imprudence of giving thom away.
It is alto bad luck , The proper plan is
to burn them , and preferably with pop
per and salt.
The belief that a largo number of people
ple have in'the ellicacy of fortune tell
ing by cards is too well known to dwell
upon. TliCBO people , when a fortune
teller is not convenient , will often pick
out their own fortune by means of divers
kinds of solitaire.
Then there is thoold proverb : "Lucky
at cards , unlucky at love. "
