ABOUT PANICS.
Within the memory of the present
generation there have been four pan

ing to note the dates tand circumstan
ces surrounding them. The panic of
was one of the greatest panics
of recent times in this country. It
came at a time when the democratic
party had control of neither branch
of the government. Grant was presi
dent and the house and senate were
both republican.
The panic of 1NS4 was of less
duration. Jt came when Arthur was
president and when the republican
party was chargeable with the di
rection of governmental affairs. The
panic of which was a severe
panic, started within two months af
ter the electi*, of Grover Cleveland,
bui was in effect th«* result of republi
can legislation under the administra
tion of Harrison. The democratic
party had not taken hold of the a 1
lairs of the government at the tint

THE EFFEMINATES.
From the New York t’r- ss.
About a quarter of a century ago
there was much use of the word
“effeminate" as a sort of slur upon a
man who was not rough, brutal, vul
gar, and profuse. If a man behaved
himself as a genteel gentleman, lie
was “effeminate.’ If he refused to
pick a quarrel, he was “effeminate.'
If he dressed himself in good taste,
though within his income, lie was
“effeminate.’ If he wore gloves and
patent leather shoos and had his
trousers pressed, he was "effeminate."
If lie refused to soak at the bar, de
clined a cigar, hesitated to indulge
in rowdyism he was "effeminate.” And
yet—and yet—one night in a public
resort in this city one of these “ef
feminates'' in kid gloves gave John
L. Sullivan the worst laying out John
ever got. It almost made a gentle
man of John.
