And they ran away when they saw the crowd coming back te them, and knocked down the mayor of the town, Tvhe sought te arrest them; and fired I aeain In their retreat across the bridce and killed another innocent man. Their conduct was net wise nor justifiable, and no one probably will try te justify it. Nevertheless, it was conduct that might a have been looked for from men of their kind, undertaking te act a3 conservators of the peace, which it had c'oubt c'eubt less been the standing aim of their lives te break upon every opportunity. They had an excellent cue offered them and crnlaaeejjf-iFvith ardor. The men ffbempleyed them are the men te blame, mere than they, who did but what their natures led them te de. The Knights of I.aber,as an organization, had additional lustre shed upon them by the Incident. It w as their leader who held the infuriated crowd back from vengeance and urged them te de no deed in violation of the law. With that spirit among the leaders and obedience te it among the led the Knights of I nber are sure te win the object they seek by their organization. Our Telegraphic Press Service.

"We have generally gene en the theory that " geed wine needs no bush," but the splendid press service which the readers of the Intellieekceii have enjoyed, appre ciated and remarked, justifies the observa tion that the largely increased facilites Which its patrons new have for obtaining home and foreign news, are owing te the superiority of the United Press te the As sociated Press service for the afternoon newspapers.

That he should declare himself, eleen years after he had brought the greatest been te the Old oral, " tne most mlsera mlsera bie man living " Is pathetic; and what a wealth of suggestion there is in the reflec tion that heaven may pursue him " as if the discovery of this world mav be fatal te the Old'" The llencflt or the Ilenht.

It can therefore only hae been by telephene that she has gathered the olnmner reports which she publishes In a book entitled "The Xext World Inter- lowed." In It she gives us the results verbatim et literatim, of her lntoriews with Messrs. Titian, Darwin, Herodotus, Herace Greeley, and ethers " tee numerous te men tien." She even had the " enterprise te in terview A Stranger in the next world, with, out se much as tlrst getting an Introduction te Mm.

I am nfrald, how-ever, this estlniable luly fooled Mrs. Hern, for she declared, " 1 assert that Themas larlyle was eer thoughtful of my comfort and happiness."

I have come across several insunees tint icr talnly have te be Included In this record. Here 1 one etthem. 1 was conversing with an author who Ins made for himself quite a name in the realm of fiction, and has already reached a place at least In the third, or jerbaps second rank of American novelists. He will, hew ever, nev or be either a Hew ells or a Cable. Ner does he aspire te be, as little pretwbly as the fox of old aspired te the possession of the grapes that hung above hlra. Fer he expressiy teid me that Cable was insutlerable te him, white the whole art of the James-Howells school was a sheer trick of style, which anv clever writer could imitate. I confess that I opened my eyes almost te a blank stare at this. When 1 was further vouchsafed the Information by this modest author that he could without" any trouble produce a novel that would pass for a work of James, 1 quickly closed my eyes again that I might be spared the sight of his blushes, whu li was, however, wholly unnecessary, lie did net blush. He simply went en heaping nsa en Pellen by naively confiding te me that he was se imbued with the spirit and method et Thackeray, that 11 he chese he could at any time produce a novel that would be accepted by alias a posthumous work of the great Englishman ! This nearly took my breath I gasped and left in silence. More deeply than ever I felt what a great pity it was that book en "The Vanity and Insanity of Authers" had already been written. It is but Just te this author te note, how ever, that his vanity has net yet led him te handicap any et his books with his portrait, nor virtually te dedicatethem tehim-cll, nor te write his own biography for them, nor yet te make himself the here of them, and se te till them with himself and his prai-e that the reader is left mero than hair im pressed with the thought that they were written with the sole purpose of glerilying the author and his deeds. It was another writer who did that, The future reviser of "The anity and Insanity of Authers' is herewith respectfully referred te him also. The work will alTerd abundant rich material for the new edition. What is vanity anyhow Are we le pity or te blame It, or both I sometimes think It must be a kind of dlsoa.se incident te the human mind at a certain stage of its develop ment, something like the rnumps or measles, te which the physical organism Is particu larly liable at certain stages el bodily grew tli from childhood te youth, or youth te man hood. Certain it is that the persons w he entirely escape its attacks In 0110 form or another, are few and fortunate Perhaps it is owing te some spiritually malarieus in lluence in our educational methods. At least I notice that net one in a hundred of our youths and maidens whom we graduate from our high schools is free trem it ; and that as small a proportion of our young menand women whom we send te our normal schools and colleges escape IL Indeed they are there scarcely a year before they are swollen and pulled up te a degree that would he ludicrous 11 it were net no painful te thev truly interested in them ; while by the time they graduate many of them are ready te burst. Its being se common Is possibly the reason why we neglect its preier treatment and fall into the grievous error of net only jor jer mltting the disease te le carried into our social and professional circles, but of Indulg ing and nourishing it there, fanning its fever with flattery and feeding it with shallow, dtsbonest compliments, until it becomes chronic, nnd like an incurable, growing cancer, undermines the whole character and ruins all possibility of the victim's ever at taining te anv thing like true manhood or lasting usolulness. Ter that is precisely what vanity and self-conceit inevitably de. While we may thorefero pity and even geed naturedly laugh, at the pulled up, Happing fledgelings whom our schools and colleges with their system of public entertainments and commencements annually let loose upon the world, we must draw the line right there. We have no right te let the mumps bocemo a permanent swelling of the glands; and as little te iermlt the hell-conceit or our young graduates te grew into an abiding, debilitating and disgusting vanity. It surely is better ler the ass te be told by a friend, mat me liens HKin uees net cover nun, man te allow his bray te expose him before all the world! lit this I mean that we ewo it te the young, and ewo It te ene another, tee, te bring mere plain honesty into our sedal relations especially. I don't mean that we are in any way te violate or de away with any of the real courtesy and amenities or society. I abotniuate the man who prides himself en always "speaking his mind right out" He is a social nuisance, aud worse We can be honest without being ruffians. When a friend unfortunately lies boeouie possessed with the Idea that he is a great singer, aud will bawl ler us en every !eksible occasion, we need net go up tnhliii and tell him, "your Hinging In detectable." Rut neither de we have le applaud aud eucore him, tell him what dellght his artlstle and leellng rendition gave us, and insist en his aoen giving us and our company the same pious ure again. It is our praUe and applause that feed his vanity, and are really te blame for It mere than the peer weak minded fellow himself. What we ought te dots simply te maintain a discreet Mlence.

PreL Jehn W. Rurgess treats of the American commonwealth. He tries te answer thequestlen, What Is Nationality which he does substantially by adopting the views aud principles of Dr. Mulford, te whom, however, no reference Is made. Then without any necessary logical sequence he concludes from them that the individual stites or the nation have virtu illy no rights whvtever, and rpjelces that by the dawn of the twentieth century we shall have "the nation, sole nnd exclusive sov ereign, distributing the powers nud functions of government between con cen tentral ergins, commonwealth nnd munici pality." 1 rank J.

Saxen A Ce., 1- Tiit'ituc building, New erk, issue te-day M. 1 remit Shelden's I'nglish translation of 'Salatiuube," the mastorplece of the great 1 rench novelist, 1 laubert, founder of the naturalistic school or literature, debased by ela. The Louden Tmes properly calls it a "fascinating story of love and war, rich in heroic Carthaginian lore, set in glowing birluric splendor, sur rounded with an atmosphere of dreamy tropical warmth and local color, nud with iLs weird serent scene and mysterious cults, lias long been regarded" as an un translatable work." That apprehension is, however, dispelled by the mastertui manner in which Shelden has done, his work. The original author stored his mind with the rich experience et wide travel, scientific research and minute and careful ob servation. He wandered ever the hills of dreece, frolicked at Corinth, dug furiously in Mycen e belere Schliemann, rdi, sacked mu seums In the buried cities of the plain, scoured Tunis nnd delved into the ruli s, of Carthage, te equip hlni'-elf for the bill. In it he depicts the terrific siege of the mer cenaries against Carthage, which Hamllcar crushed with stupendous eltertand punished with unsparing cruelty. Following historic tact with close fidelity, he has grafted ujen the narrative a fascinating story of the fierce and sensuous passion of Mathe, the Llbvan chief for Satammbe, the daughter et Hauiil i.ir; and nil the fateful results of his snatch ing the mysterious veil from the temploef TaniL The work moves with impetuous torrent of narrative, poetic dlscrlptieu nnd striking characterization, the passiouate and trlchtful excesesef pagancivillzatlenand the most artistic elaboration.- As Edward King s.ivs; se long as men battle and women love, se long as human nature Millers no change Inltsgreat attributes, he long will the story of Hamllcar nnd of spendliis, et Mathe, and et Satammbe, of the leprous Hanne nnd the fiery Narr' Havas, lie rtad with strong emo tion and with avidity. It anakens only noble thoughts, despite its sensuous setting. It is like an exquisite piece or Greek sculp ture, mighty, jet tee ethereal in Its beauty for nnslein hands te create, set against a back - ground iloedul with aumptueus color. The great scene in the book, the banquet and riot of the barbarians, their contemplation of the crucified liens en the read te sicca, tne preaching or the revolt by Spendius, the entrance Inte the tomple of Tanlt by night, the contemplation of Mathe enshrouded in the veil by Salamiube, the arrival of Hamllcar from Sicily, the Inter view In the tent, the Carthaginian prisoners In the ditches filled with water, the woes of Hanne, the deaths of the barbarians on en trapped Inte the defile, the sacrifices te Melech, and the death et Salammbe, are every ene genuine works of art, Imperish able as diamonds; anil if the French critics did net at first Ilnd sulhcieut contrast In these paintings en the sublimely sculptured lortlce, they discovered them when they had bestowed proper attention upon the work." IIIalne'A Sfceml Volume. Thore is a goad devl of the money-making idea about the Rlalne leek, the Grant book and the Legan book, net te speak of Kime less notable productions of the present polit ical peried. They Jnve been widely and deftly advertised for advertising pur pur pese ; aud their appearance indicates that they were made te sell. As Hpeclmens of the book-maker' art they de no credit te their publlshers and the Hjstem upon which they are put upon the publlu Is at variance with the scholar's and the llteratteur's taste. Rut It is useless te deny the value or such works te our politi cal history- Renten'a "Thirty Years VIew" increases In value and interest as the genera tions succeed each ether; Van Huren's His His tery or Political Parties, Jeim Qulncy Adams' Diary, Groeley's History of the War.Alex.H.

It Is easy te belleve that the second has net met with nearly he large n sale; the keen edge el the iiepular a petlte has et eourne leeii taken oil ; and the times are net he auspicious ler Its publication as when Mr. Rlalne was In the Hush of his candidacy ler president. We are much mistaken, however, If the future student of our political history will net find as inueh of value mid interest in Mr. lllalne's account of coiigriwslenal government from the beginning or Jehnsen's administration te the end of Hayes', as In his history of par ties from Jellersen te Lincoln.
