Exportation of wh&t has finally been ab solutely prohibited by the Russian govern ment. This will tend to relieve the greas stress of prospective suffering in Russia. It will aiso create a demand in Europe that must now be supplied by America. So our heavy crops are likely to find a good foreign market. Late advices from Rome state that the pope very bitterly complains of his virtual imprisonment within the grounds of the Vatican. Despondency is said to have taken possession of him and he is reported as talking almost oontinually of his failing health and approaching death. This lends little force to the recent statements to the effect that he was contemplating removing to some other oountry. Ohio adherents of Frenzy Foraker are Baid to be very confidently banking on Blaine as a leader in the forthcoming presi dential race to whose coat-tails Fine Frenzy can securely attach himself. Pursuant to this policy they are becoming undisguisedly hostile to Harrison and Foster. Particu larly are they “agin” the Heoretary of the Treasury because of hit recent declarations in favor of the re-election of Sherman to the Senate. That “riles” them greatly. "War is on. And it's to be real eager war with blood in it. Frivolity has not so wholly taken posses •ion of the Prince of Wales that he could cot act the part of a very devoted father in watching over the couch of his favorite son during his reoent illness. Indeed, his exemplary oonduct has given his future subjects so much better nn opinion of him that they appear deeply interested in the •lowly improving convalescence of the young Prinoe George. Quite a mob of lords, dukes, soldiers, churchmen and mechanics are said to be crowded about the bulletins without the gates of Marlborough house every day to read of the patient’s progress. Kansas is said to be very liberally be sprinkled with people who do not like Whiskers Peffer. Whether this is because he has for years been shedding the letters in his erstwhile complicated name or because of bis dense profusion of riotous whiskers or because he has been making light of the financial opulence of the state. Possibly it may be somewhat attributable to the prev alence of the impression that the bewhis - kered husbandman does not satisfactorily fill the shoes of Ingalls. That phenome nally thin statesman is accredited with a very robust understanding even though it was located some distanoe from his hat. Baseballist Mike Kelly seems to be great ly surprised at the unwonted politeness of the servants In London who say sir to him and take his exaggerated "tips” with the most astounding ease ana grace. Apparently Mr. Kelly is accustomed to be called Mike with a choice assortment of prefatory expletives in Boston. Conse quently the established usages of civiliza tion appear very strange to him. Eugligh servants will not kick him about in the manner to which ha has always been aocui temed so long at he continues to distribute the proceeds of hie last season's baso hits aB freely as he tiu been doing. Catcher Kelly Is a fair specimen of the class of people from whom the English generally derive Ktttr impressions of American civilization. Dragging in Other Issues. In the contest for the speakership a great deal is being said about the presidential nomination of the Democratic party. In deed, the tone of some of the special dis patches from Washington and of some of the editorial articles in New York news papers are well calculated to create the impression that the oontest now going in Washington has a groat deal more to do with that nomination than the speakership. It is asserted that Mr. Mills is Mr. Cleve land’s candidate for speaker and that Judge Crisp is Gov. Hill’s. If Mr. Mills is chosen speaker, it is asserted, Mr. Cleveland’s nom ination will be assured, and If Mr. Crisp is successful in the speasership contest Gov. Hill, or a candidate named by him, will get the democratic presidential nomination. Neither Mr. Mills nor Mr. Crisp, it is safe to say, are responsible for the rep rta which connect their contest with the approaching contest for the presidential nomination. Mr. Mills has not made any statement which justifies the conclusion that Mr. Cleveland is using bis influence in bis behalf, and there is no ground for asserting that Mr. Cleveland is taking part in the speakership contest. The chances are that he is only an interested spectator of the contest, and has not even expressed a preference for Mr. Mills or any other candidate. Gov. Hill may regard Judge Crisp with more favor than Mr. Mills, but if he does he has kept the fact to himself. Both Mr. Cleveland and Gov. Hill are shrewd politi cians and neither would be likely to adopt a course that would make him about as many enemies as friends. The assertion that Mr. Mills is a much better representative of Mr. Cleveland’s tariff views than Judge Crisp does not count for much. Mr. Mills and Judge Crisp staud squarely upon the tariff plank of the democratic platform, and it is unjust to Judge Crisp to say that Mr. Mills is the better representative of the tariff doctrine of the Democratic party. The truth is that Mr. Cleveland and Gov. Hill are not seeking to lnfiuence the speak ership contest. The assertion that they are is intended to mislead those congress men who are likely to give the various ru mors afloat relative to the oontest more weight than they are entitled to. It is doubtful if the success of Mr. Mills would assist Mr. Cleveland in getting the presi dential nomination, and it is difficult to see how Gov. Hill would be the gainer if Judge Crisp should get the speakership. All the indications are that Mr. Mills and Judge Crisp are making their oonteits on their merits. They are not depending for assistance upon the candidates for the presi dential nomination. The argument that Mr. Mills is entitled to the speakership because of his tariff record and his long service in congress is one that ought not to be con sidered as oonclusive. If be is the best man for the office there ought to be no hesita tion in choting him, but if he is not it would be a mistake to put him in so important a position, notwithstanding the fact that he has served his party long and well, and has always been faithful to democratic principles. As speaker he could do the party an incalcula ble amount of damage, notwithstanding bis desire to promote the party’s interests. The belief that he hasn’t the qualities nec essary for a successful speaker is very gen erally entertained by those who have had the opportunity to observe him closely. He lacks coolness, judgment and tact. The question that should govern the selec tion of a speaker is, Who is best fitted for the offloe? The damoorats would be guilty of great folly if they should not be gov erned by their judgment in so important a matter. The question of Judge Crisp’s fitness has never been raised. It is admitted that he is a good presiding officer, an excellent par liamentarian, and that he seldom makes a mistake in his judgment of men or as to the policy tbat ought to be pursued by the party. No doubt a great many more reports will be heard of the connection of Mr. Cleveland and Gov. Hill with the speaker ship contest, but, in all probability, they will contain no more truth thau those already circulated. More Sound Than Substance. The reciprocity policy of Mr. Blaine has not produced such extraordinary results as to justify the immense amount of boasting that the republican papers have indulged in with regard to it Sinoe the policy went into effect the bureau of statistics has sent out a great many statements showing the increase in the amount of our exports to those countries with which we have reciprocity treaties. The latest statement that has been given to the public, and which has been the subject of considerable com ment, deals with our trade with Brazil. Our export trade with Brazil has been in creasing right along, year after year, and the increase has not been much greater since he making of the reciprocal agreement than before tbat agreement became opera tive. According to the statement of the bureau of statistics our exports to Brazil during the first five months of reciprocity amounted to only $77,927 more than for the preceding five months. This increase, attributed to reciprocity, was therefore only about $150,000 a year—a Bum so small as to be hardly worth noticing. Indeed, it is doubtful if this increase can be properly attributed to reciprocity, because 1 our exports to most of the countries with which we have trade relations have been steadily increasing for a number of years. The republicans purpose to make all they can out of the reciprocity policy during the approaching presidential campaign. In deed, they brought that policy into great prominence in the recent campaign in Ohio, their purpose being to convince the farmers that what was needed to insure their prosperity was not tariff reform, but protection diluted with reciprocity. But unless they get more encouraging statistics than those which show our expirt trade witb Brazil they will find it difficult to convince the farmers that this new republican scheme to protect the manufacturing monopolies is particularly beneficial to them. Minneapolis gets the national republican convention. Avery ambitious city is Min neapolis. How she will crow over St. PauL To get even with her St. Paul should make a big bid for the national democratic con vention. In the lovely month of June the republican clans will gather in the far northwest to select their chieftain. Will they choose Blaine? It looks so now. Apples are said to be so abundant in New York this fall that very fine large fruit has lately been offered at a town in Greene county called Hunter at the remarkably low prioe of 5 cents a bushel with no takers. At that price they would be cheap hog teed. THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1891. Blaine the Leader. Mr. Blaine is (he real leader of the Re publican party. There is no doubt upon tbat point. He can have tbs nomination for President if he wants it, and the indi cations are that he does want it. Washington is now full of prominent re publican politicians from all parts of the oountry. Nearly all of them are in favor of making Mr. Blaine the standard-bearer of the Republican party next year. They represent the republicans in their respective sections very fairly. According to our Washington dispatches Mr. Blaine neither admits nor denies that he would accept the nomination if it should be offered blm, but bis attitude is such that those close to him bare no doubt as to what bis purpose is. The only thing that is in the way of his ambition is bis health, and that is said to be better than it has been for years. The republican leaders have not much, if any, ground for finding fault with the President, but they realize that be canDOt arouse any enthusiasm in the party, and that without enthusiasm, and plenty of it, their party has no chance for success for the next national contest. Many who are now talking in favor of Mr. Blaine do not do so because they prefer him to all the other candidates but because they think he can be elected if any republican oau. They believe that with him at the head of the ticket they could get back the members of their party who have strayed away, and that they could call into existence again some such feeling os tbat which animated the party iD its earlier history, and which insured it victories. Unless Mr. Blaine decides to decline a nomination the Preiident might as well cease bis efforts for a renomination. He can accomplish nothing in that direction against the strong Blaine sentiment. And he does not dare to ask Mr. Blaine what his purpose is with regard to the nomination. He must wait until it suits Mr. Blaine to disclose his purpose. There is no way in which he can avoid reoognizing Mr. Blaine as the party’s leader. Another fine scheme for the discomfiture of Senator Peffer has been devised by the friends of Ingalls and other stalwart repub licans. There are some Kansas republicans who can never become reconciled to the sight of Western Alliance Peffer occupying a seat in the United States Senate. It was reported that an attempt would be made to contest his election. But tbat plan was finally decided to be impracticable. Since that a scheme bas beec evolved which has at least the merit of novelty. It is being eagerly talked of among a certain limited crowd. To carry it out it will be necessary to elect a republican legislature next year. Then it is proposed to create the office of state agent at Washington. It will be the duty of this offioial to draw a salary of $5,000 and act as colleague of Senator Plumb in all department work. It will be Senator Plumb’s duty and the duty of the republican Senate under this plan to ignore Senator Peffer and treat the state agent as the real senator and acoord to him full senatorial power except that of voting. Rumor says that the discussion of the plan has gone so far as to mention possible candidates for the office. At this time the favorite is said to be ex-Congressman Per kins. If Senator Whiskers A. Peffer doesn’t jump around pretty spry he may soon find his ostensible occupation gone. Rather a queer suit has been brought In an Ohio court against a young heiress living at Dayton. Some time ago she eloped from school with one George W. Eis. But they were arrested in Buffalo at the instance of the girl’s grandmother. On the threat of the old lady to disinherit Miss Devore the thrifty Lothario promptly let her go back home. At that time the family of Miss Devore strongly suspected tbat Els was merely after the girl’s money. Now a pretty strong color of probability is added to that view of the affair by the recent action of Mrs. Els in instituting proceedings for $5,000 damages against Mi3B Devore for alleged alienation of her husband’s affections. That gives it the aspect of rather a determined effort to wrest the poor girl’s money from her. Apparently they are beat upon hav ing Miss Lula Devore’s funds transferred to the Eis family. If they can’t get the money one way they go for it another. Possibly the whole scheme may have been precon certed between Eis and his wife. Any man who is mean enough to act in the way ho did with that innocent girl is u nprincipled enough for just anything. Some of the de vices to get money these days merit punish ment more than many of the offenses that are porscribed by the statutes. At Valdivia a number of Ealmacedist prisoners are said to be held by the Chilian provisional government. Among them are included several against whom members of the junta and others of the successful party have personal animosities. Some of these have been cruelly tortured and many put to death. Besides squaring old scores with its enemies active steps are being taken by the Chilean government to regain control in Araucauia. All the garrisons in that re gion wore withdrawn by Balmaceda in or der to strengthen his military forces in the field, and the fierce and independent Arauoa nians have lately been showing a disposi tion to m'ove upon Chilean territory. They have never been fully subdued, and their hatred of the Chileans is very bitter. So it appears that Provisional President Montt will have plenty to do without making war upon the United States for the present. Some idea of the number of southerners living in New York and Chicago may be gathered from the fact that Gov. Gordon promulgated an order last Saturday estab lishing confederate veteran camps lu each of these cities with a major general in com mand of oach. Among the most important duties of these officers is to look after the confederate dead that may be buried within the boundaries of their respective jurisdic tion. That is an object in which they will probably have the hearty 00-operation of all unprejudiced people of whatever politi cal views. The Archduchess Margaret of Austria, the emperor's niece, who has recently been danger ously ill, is a beautiful girl or 21, tall and slender, blue-eyed and light-haired, and a clever artist. She went to adore the holy coat at Treves, and spent three hours in a cold cathedral. There she took cold, went into a fever, and had a long battle with death, being delirious much of the time. Miss Mattie E. Mitchell, daughter of Sena tor Mitchell of Oregon, is shortly to be quarried to the Duke Francois de La Rouohfoucald of France. Mias Mitchell is a beautiful girl and one of the most popular belles in Washington society. The family of the La Rouobfoucalds is of renowned antiquity, whose history can be traced back to the year 1086, and is of distin- Suished lineage and extensive possessions. Miss itcbell is retlned, highly cultured, and some what given to literature. It is said of her that no woman in Europe will wear a coronet with more grace and distinction Utah this youug American lady. PERSONAL.

From the Philadelphia Ledger (Lit.). There is a man in the western part of Penn sylvania who, it is reported, for several years past has been amusing himself by keeping his wife in constant terror by frequent and dram atic threats of suicide.

Several times at midnight he hail taken her to the barn aud exhibited the rope and noose with which he intended to end his life. Again, at Bor 3 o'clock in the morning he left the house to hang himself in the barn. She had become terrified and followed him. to find him with the noose around his neck. Sev eral times he had drawn a revolver and threat ened to kill her and then himself. Then he would go to the barn and she would hear pistol shots.

Two business men who have long been warm friends met In a restaurant the other day. One of them bad a gloomy look, says the Philadel phia Record, and his friend finally asked him what the ma ter was It was the old story. His son had fallen In tore and wanted to marry a girl whom he hal not known a year. The father was opposed to the match, but he did not like to interfere. "Let me tell you a story,” said his friend, “and then you may agree with me tbat It is of no use to try to account for one's falling lu love. Every one does it differently. I know a man who met a woman one summer a good many years ago He saw her perhaps only half a dozen times. He was a poor man, hard working and ambitious, and was seeking his fortuna in a big city, say New York. When bis scant vacation was at an end he went back to his work and pegged along. In two years he had saved enough money to feel able to afford another little vacation. He hadn’t heard a word from that woman In the meantime, but he sacrificed a very large part of his vacation fund in getting to the town where ahe lived. He bad only three days to stay there, and before he went back to the city he told the girl that he loved her, that he had waited two years for the opportunity to tell her, that their lives ran in such different channels that he might not see her again for two years more. He took her promise back with him. "They got married, and every day of his life he thanks God for the fate that led him to that little country town almost thlrtv years ago. "I’m the man, John, and you know what a treasure the woman Is. Don't try to arrange the love affairs of other people." Bashful Bob Burdette. I beard a good and altogether Dew story of Bob Burdette and the late Thomas A. Hen due ks, says a writter in the Kansas City Timet. Several years ago, while the lamented Indianan was touring the west, Burdette was the funny man of the Burlington Haukeye. In that ca pacity he wrote a good many satirical verses concerning Mr. Headricks. One day Burdette was at a railroad hotel at lowa City when the proprietor called him. "See here, Bob," said the Boniface, “there’s a man in the dining-room whom you're just dying to meet. Come along." "Who is it?" asked the humorist, hanging back. "O, come on; it’s all right,” said the hotel man, and with that Burdette was hustled into the eating-room. “Mr. Hendricks, Mr. Burdette." said the pro prietor, whereupon a handsome, smiling man arose from a table, and. extending his hand to the man from Burlington, said : “And so this is Mr. Burdette, is it?” "Y—yes," returned the now quaking humorist. “You’re the man who wrote ‘The Bad Man From injianny,' are you?” “I did, but that was only in ” “Let me see," went on the statesman smiling. “It ran like this, didn’t it?" And Mr. Hendricks proceeded to recite the whole poem. Then he recalled another and another, reciting, before he waa through, half a dozen of the satirical outbursts in rhyme that hae been directed against him. “I never felt really bashful before,” said the genial humorist, now of Brooklyn, "but that was the time when I would have welcomed an earthquake that would have swallowed me up." Medicine Useless Without "Meals.” Marshal P. Wilder, In the Chicago Tribune, tells an excellent story on Dr. Agnew of Phila delphia, dated back long ago, In the days when the doctor's practice was growing, but had not reached the dignity of a carriage and pair One dark night as he hurried along the street to visit a patient he ran into and upset a pedes trian. The doctor picked him up and covered him with apologies, which the victim acoeoted in the sr.lrlt with which they were given. Then he took him under an electric light to brush the dust from him. Suddenly the doctor said: "My friend, you are not in good condition. Your blood is very thin." “I shouldn’t wonder if you were right," was the reply. "Well, I don't want to meddle with the or ders of your own physician, but I’m very suc cessful with such cases, and if you’ve uo ob jections I’ll write you a prescription right here that will do you a great deal or good.” The doctor scribbled on a bit of paper for a moment and then said: "There! Take a teaspoonful of that after each meal, and, my word for it, within a week you’ll bless the night I chanced to run against you." “Thank you," said the roan, “but I guess not." "Why not?” “Because," said the poor fellow, after tight ening his waistband another button, "I don’t know where I’ll get a meal within a week to take the medicine after.” Tricks That Puzzled Lord Tennyson. A village barber, who is a neighbor of Lord TennysoD, being something of a conjuror, was invited to show his skill before the laureate. The Loudon Telegraph tells this story of the uertorrnance: He counted out 10 shillings into Lord Tennj son's hand, telling him to hold them tightly. Hut a few minutes afterward, when he re quired the money again, there were only 8 shil lings. The look of astonishment on his lord ship’s face was indescribable, while the laughter of the other guests at the situation was unmis takable hearty. luthishllarity.it is needless to say, the poet most good temperediy joined. Witb the license usually claimed by such pen former*, the amateur professor of legerdemait said: "1 don’t doubt your honesty,my lord, bu- I gave you 10 shillings. I will now try her lady ship"—with the result, of course, that he found more than he wanted. At the conclusion of the entertainment Lord Tennyson expressed hts pleasure at the exhibition, and did so, as the delighted bar Der tells his friends, In these terms: “Your feats were very clever, Mr. , and it is a great credit to the village that can boost of such talent." She Screamed at the First Salute. This, lam assured, is a true story, says a writer in the Detroit Free Press. The gentle man himself told it to me, and the lady, now his wife, sat beside him and admitted it to be true. He bad waited on her Tor several weeks, when one evening he resolved to kiss her, and told her so. “You shall do nothing of the kind," she said with a good deal of asperity. Hut he was not to be frightened out of it. He reached for her, but she drew away and indig nantly declared that if he undertook any such liberties she would scream. He didn’t behove she would so he grabbed up and gave her a good, rousing smack. Sure enough, she screeched like a steam calli ope, and frightened the young man well nigh out of his senses, for he heard the family rush ing toward the parlor. The young lady’s mother was the first to enter, and the father came close behind. “What’s the matter?" asked the mother The young man stood by the piano, wishing the roof would fall in and bury everybody. The young lady had jumped uponthe sofa "I saw a mouse,” she said. The parents went back, and the young man kissed her until she couldn't have told a mouse from a mountain. The Pedagogue’s Wooing. From Table Talk. The pedagogue among his pupils bad A maiden fair. He loved her: who would not? Her eyes were soft. And turned to his with sausy glance full oft; And when his tiresome Latin put her out Her pretty lips were all too prone to pout; He longed to kiss them—love had made him mad— But did not dare. One mom he met her on the way to school. The hour was late; But wait he would not, could not. Thus he sighed: "Sweet maid. I prithee, be my beauteous bride! Already has thou marked. Dor need I tell. That I have loved thee long and passing well; Nor time nor absence can my passion cool; Let's conjugate!" "Aht” with arch modesty replied-the fair, “That would be fine; But 'tis impossib.e, for, as thou know’st. Small stuck of learning can tby pupil boast. The first declension now absorbs tuy thought; The verb I have not yet stall been taught, I cannot conjugate; all I may dare Is to decline!" Willing to Omit Fifteen. A man while fishing suddenly fell into the water, says the St. Paul Pioneer Press. A fel low-fisherman of benevolent aspect promptly helped blm out, laid him on his back, aud than began to scratch his head in a puzzled way. "What’s the matter?" asked the bystanders. Why don’t you revive him?” "There are sixteen rules to revive drowned persons,” said the benovolent man. “and I know 'em all; but I can’t call to mind which comes first." At this point the resoued man opened his eyes and said faintly: "Isthere anything about giv ing brandy in the rules?” "Yes." "Then never wind the other fifteen." FLAVORING EXTRACTS. Bemoaning. A retail grocer was bemoan ing his failure to get along prosperously in business, and seemed to think it was not his fault. The gentleman to whom he was talking was an ex-grocer who had retired with a snug fortune made out of the business. The ex grocer, in order to illustrate one of the reasons why a bet ter trade was lacking, called for a bottle of Dr. Price’s Flavoring Extract of Vanilla. “I do not keep it.” said the grocer, “but I have an extract just as good which I can sell 'at a less price.” Here was a convincing proof that there were very good reasons why trade was poor. The ex-gro cer 9ays, “I was successful because I kept the best and finest goods and sold them at a fair profit. Poor goods, no matter at what price sold, will help to make your trade dwindle. The acquisition or loss of trade goes on silently and steadily in proportion as the grocer sells goods that please those who patronize him. I always sold Dr. Price’s Flavoring Extracts, as my customers did not want cheapness at the ex pense of quality.” ITEMS OF INTEREST. A Montana correspondent of the Ban Fran cisco Bulletin records an adv enture he had with a bear. He was return! ng to his cabin after an excursion in the m ountains, and heard a strange sort of rumbling from the inside as ha approached. "We had left the door open, but concluded to cautiously peer iu at the window to see what was going on inside. In the dusk we discovered a mass of blackness moving around in the cabin. At once we knew a monster hear was there. The Winchester lay inside near the window. By breaking in the pane we could reach It. For a moment only we hesitated and soon the gun was ready for firing. The falling of the broken glass at tracted the attention of his bearsblp and he whirled about face. We fired again and again. The monster beast rolled upon toe floor, upset the table, spilled the iuk, scattered papers and created a general whirl around. We lighted o lamp and found a basket of eggs and a side of baoon had furnished bruin with an evening meal." “Three things," said old Nathaniel Ward of Ipswich, "my heart hath naturally detested." One of these, continued the sturdy old Massa chusetts Puritan, was “the etandlng of the Apocrypha in the Bible,” and the Puritans, as is well known, exoluded It from their Bibles. The American Bible Society seldom prints an edition containing the Apocrypha, so that we are compelled, usually, to buy an English edi tion if we would read the "Wisdom of Solo mon” or the books of Macoabees. But one would suppose that an English olergymas. such as Rev. A. J. W. Morrison, who translated Goethe’s "Letters From Switzerland and Italy," would have read the 11. Maccabees, in King James' version, and would recognize the sacri legious Heliodorus wherever he met him. Yet when Goethe speaks of frescoes by Luca Gior dano at Naples, representing the paralyzing of Heliodorus, Mr. Morrison gravely adds in a note. "This was the bishop of Tnoca, iu Thes saly, in the fourth century, deprived of his bishopric for writing a novel," or words to that effect. Raphael, as well as Luca Giordano and other artiste, painted this conversion of Hello iorus, and there is a sketch of it by AU ston in the volume of his sketches engraved by the Cheney brothers. The tale is told in 11. Maccabees ill., 23-40. When Heliodorus, the treasurer of Seieucue, king of Syria, entered the temple at Jerusalem to carry away Its treasure, "there appeared a horse with a ter rible rider upon him, and adorned with a very fair oovering, and he ran fiercely aad smote at Heliodorus with his fore feet, and It seemed that he that sat upon the horse had oomplete harness of gold. Moreover, two other young men appeared before him, notable in strength, excellent In beauty and comely m appArel, who stood by htm on either siae, and scourged him oontinually, and gave htm many sore stripes. Heliodorus foil suddenly to the ground ana was comcassed with great darkness." He recovered at the intercession of the high priest. Onias, when the same young men. in the same clothing, appeared qnd stood beside Helldorus, Raying; "The Lord hath granted thee life; and seeing that thou hast been soourged from heaven, deolare unto all men the mighty power of God.” A,nd when they had Spoken these words they appeared no mora The afflicted sinner did as be was charged, and made no more attempts to plunder the sanctuary. But his conversion was not very permanent, for he afterward murdered bis master Seleucua, and tried to make himself king, about 175 B. C. We shall see what Renan makes of this legend when he gets to the time of the Maccabees. Josephus takes no notice of it. The Bishop Heliodorus lived about 500 years later and was a good man as well as a good Greek novelist Had he lived in ourday.be would have excelled Charles Reede. Raphael also paiuted one of t re seenes in the • ’Ethiopics" of this bishop, that where the hero and heroine, meeting for the first time at a religious rite, fall at once in love. The passage, as translated by “a person of qual ity," assisted by Nahum Tate, runs tous "The priest began to make the offering while Theagenes took the torch from tho hands of Chariclea As soon as these two beheld each other, their souls, as if acquainted at first sight, grossed to meet their equals in worth and eauty. At first they remained amazed and without motion; at length, though slowly, Chariclea gave and received the torch; so fixing their eyes on eaoh other as if they had been calling to remembrance where they had met before Then they smiled, but so stealingly as it could hardly be perceived, but a little in their eyes; hut, as if ashamed, they hid away the motions of joy with blushes, and avain, whon affection had engaged their hearts they grew pale." This is a fine picture, and as modern as it is ancient. Something in this recalls the beautiful verses of Emerson: O. fair and stately maid! whose eyes Were kindled in the upper skies At the same torch that lighted mine; For so I must interpret still Thy sweet dominion o’er my will, A sympathy divine. Ah! let me blameless gaze upon Features that seem at heart my own. Nor fear those watchful sentinels. Who charm the more their glance forbids, Chaste-glowing, underneath their lids, With fire that draws while it repels. The motions of the soul are favorite themes for the poet. Dryden’s friend, Anne KUligrew, said of Mrs. Catharine Phillips, who was called "the matchless Orlnda”: Orimla, Albion’s and her sex’s grace, Owed not her glory to a beauteous face; It wa< her radiant soul that showed within, Which struck a lustre through her outward skin. That did her lips and cheeks with roses dye, Advanced her bight and sparkled in her eye. Orinda herself wrote some times better than this, as when she translated St. Amant’u French "Ode to Solitude" or iu original verse sard: Then welcome, dearest solitude. My great felicity; Though some are pleased to call thee rude, Thou art not so, but we. Opinion 1b the rate of thlugs; From hence our peace doth flow; I have a better fate than kings, Because I think it so. MEDICAL. HEALTH IS WEfILTHj 11.I 1 . 'Vir i Nn,' , .
