C., Sept. 21, 1808~. EDMUND BURKE. an Able and Versatile Statesman Who Never Attained High Office. Though Burke never attained high offico his abilities were so versatile as to gualify him for any post which a cabi aet minister could fill. His practical wisdom was as conspicuous as his power of generalization. No one had a clearer lomprehension or a firmer grasp of great principles of universal application; at the same time his policy in every de partment of English politics rested on a wide and solid basis of information and experience. He was steeped in tho history of the past, yet penetrated through and through with the reality of the present and ever and always mind ful of that future in which the specula tions and measures of the day were to be tested and finally approved or con demned. His prodigious activity in pu b lie affairs sprang nor from an intellec tual source alone, nor from his impirial natriotism. It was constantly fed from an inexhaustible store of moral en-:rgy. He was animated by a detestation of all forms of oppression, whether by kings or governors, parliaments or peoples, which was in him a consumming passion, from which his noble nature could only obtain relief by denunciation of the op pressor and the destruction of his power. I cannot help thinking that Burke must have been stimulated, too, and sustained by delight in his studies and his work. it is impossible, without counting this as an additional incentive, to understand the amazing industry which he devoted to the elucidation of all the great questions dealt with in his speeches and writings. How his method reproves the habit, too common in our day, as in other days, of debating sub jects affecting the fate of millions of our fellow creatures as if they could be dis posed of by echoing the chatter of igno rance, or prejudice, or vanity, or self in terest! When we read Burke's speech on Fox's East India bill, we say, "What a great proconsul he would have made!" When we read his speech on concilia tion with America, we feel that the greatest of colonial ministers was lost in him, and when we read his speech on economical reform we exclaim, "Here is an ideal chancellor of the exchequer!" T. O'Connor Power in North American Review. SMOKED CANARY BIRDS. Do Clouds From a Pipe Develop a Rich Color In Their Plumage? A little old shoemaker who has a busy, old style cobbling shcp on the east side is a bird fancier, and he has pe culiar ideas about canaries. One night he was sitting on his leather covered bench, smoking an extremely odorous quality of tobacco in a black pipe. A customer was waiting for him to finish straightening up a worn heel, and he made several remarks concerning the birds which hung about the cobbler's shop. They were fancy birds, and he could not help noticing it. Finally he asked the shoemaker how he got such richly colored birds. 'It'spart in the breeding and part in the atmosphere," said the cobbler. "You raise birds in a shop where two or three men are constantly smoking, and in time you will get the darkest orange color if you use a little judg ment in mating and they don't run to green." "I should think that tobacco smoke would be unwholesome for the birds," said the visitor. "On the contrary, it makes them hardy and seems to be good for them every way. Women who have canaries would do well to put them where they can get a little tobacco smoke once in awhile, although I don't think cigarette smoke would do them much good. What they need is strong tobacco smoke from an old pipe like this or the smoke from a black cigar. I've raised my best birds when I had two jours working in this little shop with me and all of us smok ing pretty nearly all the time." Then the old man sighed and said: "That was before they half soled and heeled shoes while you wait-before machines were used for cobbling. No two or three jours and an apprentice for me now. I sit here alone, with my birds, pegging away and keeping them well smoked. "-New York Sun. A SAVAGE CRITICISM. The Teacher's Artistic Cleverness Re celved a Hard and Cruel Blow. In one of the Cleveland public school rooms of the primary grade the teacher has been reading Longfellow's "Hia watha" to her pupils. Of course this is a rather ambitious work for the little ones, says The Plain Dealer, but they enjoy it, and the rhythm seems particu larly pleasing to them. When they come to a hard word, the teacher goes to the blackboard and draws a picture to illus trate its meaning. This the pupils find highly entertaining, and it helps in quite a remarkable way to fix the text in their minds. A few days ago they came to this line in the early part of the poem: At the door on summer evenings sat the little Biawatha. "At-th' door on sum-mer eve-nings sat th' lit-tle"-read the children. "Go on," said the teacher. But they couldn't go on. The name of Hiawatha was too much for them. They knew who Hiawatha was, but they didn't recognize his name. So the teacher went to the board and took con siderable pains in drawing: First.-A wigwam with poles stick ing up above it, and a rude aboriginal drawing above it, and a rude aboriginal painting on the side. Second. -Little Hiawatha,with feath ers in his hair, squatted at the wigwam door. Third. -A fine harvest moon. Then she pointed at Hiawatha and asked what it was. There was a general craning of necks and shaking of heads. 'Come, come," said the teacher, "you know what that is." Then one little girl spoke up: "I guess it's a mud turtle." And instantly, with one accord, the class glibly repeated: "At th' door on sum-mer eve-nings sat th' lit-tle mud-dy tur-tle." And the teacher feels that her artistic cleverness received a hard and cruel blow. _________ Road and River. The brave Pierro Stuppa, the Swiss general, having been deputed by the 13 cantons to solicit the arrears of pay which had been owing for a long time to the Swiss officers in the French serv ice, M. de Louvois, the war minister, who was present, said to the king, Louis XIV: "Sire, those Swiss are very Importu nate. If your majesty had all the money that your royal predecessors have given to that people, it would form a road from Paris to Basel." "That may be," observed Stuppa with an air of firmness, "but at the same time if your majesty had all the blood that the Swiss have shed in the service of France it would form a river from Paris to Basel." The king was so struck with the ob servation that ho ordered M. de Louvois to pay the whole of the money without BLUE LAWS. Some of the Peculiar Enactments ThM Obtained In Old Virginia. Those who fancy that strict laws were peculiar to New England in colo nial days should rear. some of the enact ments of the Virginia assembly. "It was enacted," writes Professor .Tohn Fiske in "Old Virginia and Her Neighbors," that any person found drunk was for the first offense to be pri vately reproved by the minister: the second time this reproof was to be pub licly administered; the third time the offender must be put in irons for 12 hours and pay a fine; for any subsequent offenses he must be severely punished at the discretion of the governor and coun cil. " To guard the community against ex cessive vanity in dress it was enacted that for all public contributions every unmarried man must be assessed in church 'according to his own apparel,' and every married man must be assess ed 'according to his own and his wife's apparel.' "Not merely extravagance in dress, but such social misdemeanors as flirting, received due legislative condemnation. Pretty maids were known to encourage hopes in more than one suitor, and gay deceivers of the sterner sex would some times seek to win the affections of two or more women at the same time. Wherefore it was enacted that 'every minister should give notice in Iiis church that what man or woman soe-r should use any word or speech tending to a contract of marriage to two several persons at one time as might entangle or breed scruples in their consciences, should for such their offense, either un dergo corporal correction (by whipping) or be punished by fine or otherwise, ac cording to the quality of the person so offending." Men were hold to more strict account ability for the spoken or written word than in these shameless modern days. One of the most prominent settlers we find presenting a petition to the assem bly to grant him due satisfaction against a neighbor who has addressed to hinM a letter "wherein he taxeth him both un seemly and amiss of certain things wherein he was never faulty." Speak ing against the governor or any member of the council was liable to be punished with the pillory. It was also imprudent to speak too freely about clergymen, who were held in great reverence. No planter could dispose of so much as a pound of tobacco until he had laid aside a certain specified quantity as his assess ment toward the minister's salary, which was thus assured even in the worst times, so far as legislation could go. SPILT HER LUNCH. Sorry Accident to a Stylish Young Wom an In a Train. The passengers on an early morning train connecting with this city were treated to a thoroughly enjoyable scene the other morning. At one of the small stations a young lady boarded the train. She was dressed rather stylishly, but a veil covered a rather plain face. She switched down the aisle like a queen. She barely deigned to glance at the other passengers in the car, and when she did her nose rose perceptibly at the tip in a manner that spread the impres sion of contempt. She carried a Boston bag and the air of a millionaire. There was but one seat vacant. This was beside a good looking, nicely dressed young man who was read ing a paper. When she came to this seat, she flop ped down heavily and tossed her bag to the seat between herself and the young man. Two seconds later the young man leaped from his seat, and a string of earnest words of doubtful origin fell from his lips like vipers from the lips of the young woman in the fable. The startled passengers looked to see what had caused this outburst. They saw, and then they laughed. The nice looking Boston bag contained an ordi nary, everyday working girl's lunch. One of its features was a jar of coffee, which had broken in the descent and flowed freely over the young man's new fall coat and trouters. He went into the smoking car, swear ing profusely. She murmured a weak apology and spent her time in mopping up the seat.-Brockton Enterprise. THE EMPEROR WORSTED. I Fluoky Little Hungarian Girl Got Be"' venge For Sadowa. The present kaiser would probably not admit that he had often been thwarted in any of his plans, but an anecdote has recently become known which shows that he at least once "got the worst of it," and it is all the more piquant from the fact that ho was de eted by a girl. When the kaiser, who was then Prince Wilhelm, was about 10 years old, he and Prince Heinrich spent some time at Cassel with their tutors, who sometimes allowed the little princes to play with other children. One day when several of them were gathered together it chanced that a little French girl was among the number, and the young Ger mans conceived the brilliant idea of making her a representative of the coun try they all so cordially hated. The de lightful plan was immediately put into execution, and the poor child was tied to a tree. Then began a fusillade of pine cones, sticks, etc., and whenever anything struck her there was a cry of "Here's for Sedan!" This went on for a few minutes, when a little Hungarian girl, Helena von D--, who was watch ing, could bear the injustice no longer, and, singling out Prince Wilhelm as chief off'ender, she threw herself on him. The attack being unexpected, he was completely taken by surprise and fell down, whereupon she began to pound him, crying out at each blow, "Here's for Sadowa!" The prince was fast getting the worst of it, for his little adversary was thor oughly in earnest, when the imperial tutors, hearing the noise, rushed up and separated the combatants. After that the princes were more carefully watch ed, and Wilhelm had no opportunity to "get even" with the little champion of justice. Some days afterward, bearing that the princes were leaving, Helena went down to the gate to see them go by. As they passed Wilhelm spied his foe, and leaning out behind his tutor he stuck out his tongue. Helena was the daughter of titled parents, and later she was married to an Englishman. When the kaiser was in London, she told this story to one of his gentlemen in waiting, who in turn repeate-i it to his majesty. The latter exlaimed: "Is that devil of a girl here now? I would like to see her." A meet ing was arranged, but Helena became ill, and so they never met after that one encounter to make friends or renew hos tilities-New York Tribune. He Was Cruel.

A Region Where the Very Dust Is of a Cleansing Nature. Fortunate islands, the ancients called them. What measure of good fortune they associated with cleanliness is in deed uncertain. From the duration and elaboration of their baths one might presume that the Romaus-not the holy, but the pagan Romans-placed it at least a degree above godliness. Yet some influence surely must have trav ersed tho law of heredity, for they scarcely seem to have transmitted this disposition to their posterity. Whether, however, the title of For tunate, given to these islands, had or had not a reference to this quality, which we place proverbially only next to godliness, the quality itself is strik ingly conspicuous. The islands had oth er names. The Hesperides is the most familiar of them, and in Tenerife the original "dragon" tree may be seen be neath which that sleepless dragon coiled himself who acted as watchdog for the maidens guarding the golden apples. Today we call "golden apples" oranges -in the language of the country, na rangas. We have changed the name of the islands, too, and call them the Ca naries. No canary birds seem to live in them, however, and there is a notion that the name is derived ultimately from "canis, " the dogs, especially those of the island of Lanzerote, the most easterly, being famous. The flora of the islands are subtropical, with palms (is not the chief town of the Grand Canary Las Palmas?), bananas, eucalyp tus, cactus and the aforesaid "golden apples." Luxuriant vegetation is the glory of Tenerife; a climate wonder fully equable is common to them all, but Grand Canary is especially blessed in its dryness and freshness. At Orotava are more grandeur of gar dens and spacious hotels. At Las Palmas, facing the northeast trade winds, are the constant fresh breeze off the sea, accommodation as comfortable as could be desired and the quality of cleanliness in its superlative degree. Where all is so dry it is difficult to be dirty and a positive triumph of innate instincts over circumstances on the part of the proletariat that so many of them continue to be filthy. The Englishman may even be astonished at the dirt, as he will be astonished at his own cleanliness. The astonishment is the greater because the place is pervaded by a fino dust, but the very dust is of a clean'y, almost of a cleansing, nature. It lies in powder on the banana groves and palm trees. After a country drive ft may make a dark coat look as if its wearer's profession had to do with a flour mill, but a shower of rain sweeps it off the foliage, and a shake and a brush of the garment, and they are all more spotless than they were before. Pall 31all Gazette. Doubtful Compliments. The compliments paid by the poor are often put in an amusing way. One old woman who was very fond of the rector said to Mr. Bernays: "You know, sir, us likes the rector; 'is ears are so clean." Surely an odd reason for pa rochial affection. Another admirer once declared with regard to the whole staff of clergy, "You are all so plain" (a word of high commendation), "but as for the vicar, 'e's beautiful-" The great est compliment, though at the same time the most curious Mr. Bernays ever heard, was paid by a workingman to a certain bishop, famous for his simple kindli ness, "What I likes 'bout the bishop is 'e's not a gentleman.
