Probably there is not a more un
scrupulous demagogue dabbling in
politics than Whltelaw Reid, who
does the wind work for the New York
Tribune. The Cedar Rapids (Iowa)
Gazette says of him i
"When Whitelaw Reid would re
plenish the earth with his own ideas,
even when he would sow the seeds of
panic with unstinted hand, the people
regard the sound of his voice and the
origin thereof, and say, ‘I,o, it is the
New York Tribune, a Reid instrument,
to which the owner ever and anon
supplieth wind. Is he not the same
.nan who prooured the publication of
Peck’s report? -That’s wlint. Is he
not a nice duck to speak of honesty,
non-partisanship and public honor?
He is the high priest of publio virtue,
tho choice cut of the soul of political
integrity. He is the earth’s chosen
representative for chief marshal at the
parade on resurrection day. He is
jewel of tile purest ray. There are ns
many virtues in his heart as there are
blood leeches and poles and infant
mud turtles in Cednr Itnpids’ hydrant
water.”
Col. Ingersoll was lately asked to
define true poetry, and be replied:
“The poetry born of experience. Let
a man who has never lost a child, who
has never dropped tears on the earth
oovering a loved one, read a poem
written by a man who has never
known bereavement, and he will think
it a poor poem. But when he shall
lose a olilld or a dear one, thnt poem
will not satisfy him. Then let him
read a peom by one who has suffered
as he has suffered, and he will come to
a full realization of what poetry is.
Vor instance, read Lowell’s ‘After the
Burial,’ written after the death of his
child. That came from the heart, not
from the head; and coming from the
heart it reaches the heart.”

Mrs. Langtry was one of tho con
spicuous figures at the Brighton rao
ing meeting, where she appeared at-
tired one day in yellow and the next
in black-and-white Btriped silk. The
Lily’s years are advancing, but she is
said to have looked younger and more
attractive on this occasion than in
somu time before.
A few evenings since my modest
friend while waiting in the parlor for
the appearance of tho young lady was
entertained by her little sister, who
was highly delighted at the opportu
nity, says n writer in the Louisville
Times. She exerted herself to be par
ticularly agreeable, told nil the fnmily
secrets her inquiring mind had dis
covered, nnd divers other things for
which site should have been spanked.
Finally the photograph album was
brought out nnd the identity of all the
likenesses therein contained was re
vealed. At this juncture ‘big sister’
came in and, joining the pair, listened
with amusement at the little one’s
prattle. Turning over another leaf in
the albiim there appeared the picture
of a chubby infant guiltless of clothes
except for a scarf artistically ar
ranged.
“And this,” chatted the child glee
fully, “is sister before she was born.”

taking out of his pocket im orange, he-
held it up to her.
The little girl hesitated a moment,
and looking timidly into the Empe-
ror’s face, replied: “To the vegetable-
kingdom, sir.”
“Very good, my little fraulein; Mia
now to what kingdom does this be
long?” and he drew out of his pocket a.
gold piece and placed it on the orange.
Again the little girl hesitated, but
soon replied: “To the mineral king
dom."
“Better and better,” said the em
peror. “Now look at me and say to
whut kingdom I belong.”
At this question there was an omi
nous silence among the teachers and
visitors, who were listening with much
Interest to the royal catechism; the
little girl hesitated long ns if per
plexed as to what answer she should
give. Was the emperor an animal?
Her eyes sought those of her teacher
and schoolmates. Then she looked up
into the eyes of the aged emperor, and
with a half startled, frightened look,
as if she was evading the question, re
plied :
“To the kingdom of heaven.”
“Yes, yes, my little fraulein,” said
he, “I think it was time I was there,
do you not? And the day is not far
distant.”
