Prices, however, were subject to numerous and quite sudden changes dur ing the session, and closed about c lower than yesterday. Corn was quite active at. times, the mar ket ruling a little irregular, early being quite strong, but later reacted, losing most of the advance, and closed a shade lower than yesterday. In oats there was a fair volume of busi ness with a higher range of prices. The strength was due to the better feeling iu wheat and corn. In mess pork quite active business was reported and prices ruled somewhat irreg ular. The feeling was rather unsettled, especially during the early part of the day. A fair trade was reported iu lard and the feeling wtis steadier. Opening sales were made at about yesterday's closing fig ures. In short ribs an unusually brisk busi ness was transacted and the market de veloped considerable strength about the middle of the session. f I ARTICLES. 8 Whont Mrch 79K mi 79W 77 May 9$k m 7t; 7tfj Jane July 7SM 70 77K 77?

Atlanta Constitution. Faltli in Savings Banks. For many years a little old harness maksi cf this city has been depositing money here until now ho has about 514,000 to his account, upon only $3,000 of which ho can draw inter est. This man lives in a very humble way, and has got enough, money to keep him in comfort for the remninder of his life; stil? he keeps on depositing. Time and time again I have expostulated with him, telling him he should invest his money, so that it might bring in an income, but all to no purpose. It's tho old story over again. Ho will keep saving till bo dies, and then his relatives will fight over and squander his mono-. In tbu oonnection I may say wo havo a number ol similar accounts of people who havo never taken their money anywhere else and whe cannot be induced to. Interview in Brooklyn Eagle. Does Xot Llho Theatre Going Ministers. Queen Victoria appears to have a prejudice againt clergymen who go to the theatre. She is said to havo stricken out tho names ol clergymen from the list of her guests invitod to see the theatrical representations at Os borne. Hor majesty proves by thi3 exclusivenesj i. ,1 C T ,t j 4. l-n .1 that sho is not in touch with the new tone in clerical circles. W hen Dean Aliimau went tc the theatre, some forty or fifty years ago, h was supposed to havo created a shocking scandal. Now most of the clergy go to th theatre and think nothing of it. I saw a bishop in-the stalls, It is true, but I have seen an archdeacon. I have talked with a dean on tho steps of tho Lyceum theatre; and at for curates, why, tho London curate is, ai Voltaire said of the Prophet Habbakuk, ca pable du tout. Cor. Liverpool Mercury. A Duke "Who YV:is a Kootmaker. The late Due do ilontpensier was in many ways a romarkablo man, and his career wai full of excitement. Ho had a fine type ol Bourbon features, a tall and dignified figure, and a doterm ination which was unhappih exemplified in tho sanguinary duel in whicl: he killed his cousin, Don Euriquo de Bourbon. Tho king, his father, brought all his sons up to a trade, and tho Due do Montpcnsier wot an admirable bootmaker. HLs name will b recorded in history in connection with 'th Spanish marriages," for he married the sister of Queen Isabella II of Spain, in which coun try the alliance was very coldly received. His daughter was the wife of the late king ol Spain, and another daughter married th Comto do Paris. Ths due was the sixth soc of Louis Philippe, born in 1S2-4. London Times. Getting a Marriage Licence. At Cincinnati most of the documents are issued during; tho noon hour or later in the day. Widowers applying for a license blush deeper and more vividly than tho applicant for his first paper. More lies are told at thf inarriagQ license desk than at any place in tho country -where an oath is administered. Female applicants do not hesitate, stammer or tremble like the males. Neither do thej tissumo a look of triumph when the ordeal has been passed. Very young. m-n invaria bly pay for their licenses in lar,.- bjls. Th older the applicant and the less sentimental he feels tho smaller the denomination of hi money. Real modest men wear overshoe Tf hen askinj; for a license. Tb fact is typi cal of a deiro to sneak in and out without making a noise Chicago Herald. Hints to the Slecpleu.

Telegraphing money by the postal tele graph lias beeen instituted in England, beginning with March 1, after a number of experiments. The limit is $50.

The character of a diplomat and politican is 80 marked in himjtliat even at his age a retirement would be a surprise. The dexterity of a thief is never laud able, but it is sometimes wonderful and amusing. At Beloit, O., a tramp jumped from a slowly moving freight train, seized a gold-headed cane that was standing at the door of a residence, got back on the train and went his way. The British run up another flag on Portuguese dominion and the citizens of Lisbon threaten to anniliilate the British legation.

It costs Nebniska28,000 bushels of corn to hear Patti one night.

It is rumored that Jay Gould will soon many a pretty New York widow. This is probably incorrect, but if not, the bride-elect may console herself that Mr. Gould is not marrying her just to take care of children and see that the home is conducted correctly. This is always a great consolation to wife number two. ""We hear a good deal about a town where the people 'pull together,' but was there ever such a town" asks the Atchi son Globe.

The Peerless Princess isn't flattered by hearing complimentary truths spoken of her. The New York World is agitated be cause the slums of tho city produce ten children where Fifth avenue turns out one. As this has been going on in the Jarge cities of the world hundreds of years before that paper was thought of, the discovery itself and not its results seems to be the principal cause for the World's limitation.

Hecont reports from the Cherokee strip hhow that tho boomers realize that the late invasion was a mistake and that they are willing to depart without any resistance and take a reasonable view of the affair and wait until the president opens tho strip by proclamation, which lie has said he will do.

Now why tins discrimination against the straight old warrior who year after year has gazed out into space with stolid indiffer ence, a tomahawk and tobacco in either Land, puzzles us. And -in favor of a iairy flimsy ballet girl, too! It looks hko a step toward the supremacy of the cigarette over the pipe and cigar. The contest over the Blair educational bill before the senate has taken a now turn. Since tho champion of that idi osyncrasy announced it as his purpose to abandon the Republican party unless it shall support and enact his pet measure, i he members of the party in the senate have almost wholly abandoned it, while the Democrat are manif eating unusual opposition to the bill. It seems that the New Hampshire senator is on the eve of a great big lonesome everybody is man ifesting an aversion to tho crotchety hobbv rider. Instead of being worse off than farm ers of otlier states, the Kansas farmers, ns a whole, are in better fix than those of any other state. True, prices for most of the farm products are distressingly low, but they are fully as good as in most of the other surplus producing states, while the volume of such surplus liere gives the Kansas farmer decided ad vantage over his less favored brethren elsewhere. This advantage is shown in the agricultural report for last year which places the average of corn, for in stance, for the entire country at 27 laishels per acre, while the aver age yield for Kansas was 40 latsheis. This makes a difference of $1.75 per acre in favor of the Kansas farmer. For the Eagle. THE GRAVE OP HELEN HUNT. O'er the lone grave on the mountain The wind sobs a requiem sweet. And sweeps with his wild caresses Past the- poet's peaceful retreat. So pnre and high up heavenward. Where the olces of nature thrill, '3Iid the rocks of awf al grandeur, To the answering crybtal rill. The slender pine trees ontfeachlncr. With their. shield of delicate green, ilurmur their tender sea-songs As they watch over the poet's dream. Mountains in silhouette grimly Itlse no, proudly meeting the sky, And whirl their snow born cataracts From the cave& where the itonn kings lie. The swaying of lawny grasses Hide the narrow pathways that wind A network of wind swept meahes. Until that little mound they find. Afar Is the fairy valley. Where the silver waters flow, But naught floats up from its lKyjm Of the noise of the world below. The silence lies there unbroken. Save when friends remember, and go To lay on the grave a, token. And the voice of the winds that blow. X.W.H. 3Ir. Dolph is a good deal wiser for his senatorial leak investigation, although it failed of tthe purpose for which it was designed. In fact, the failure contained the points of wisdom imparted, i. e.. it demonstrated that the press people in tended to be exposed and henceforth bar red from the privileges of the senate gal leries and corridors are trustworthy, not only.but possessed of discretion in greater degree than the mover of the investigation if no other member of that body. The investigation has not strengthened pub lic confidence in the wisdom and just ness of the policy of holding secret ses sions. England and a number of countries of the continent are at present the scenes of labor troubles. The question of what the laborer shall do, what he shall receive and when he shall do it is the foremost and absorbing one of Europe today. Four or five years ago tliis country was simi larly aroused by strikes that involved in some cases sacrifice of life, general inse curity and danger and poverty among the laboring classes. But much good and peace has come of such disputations. Both the employer and employes have discovered a way to settle these difficul ties, and satisfactorily, without calling upon violence to aid them by arbitra tion. This will probably be the outcome of the troubles in Europe, without, per haps, occasioning any immediate change in forms of government. There could hardly be astrong er incentive to a community to engage in a particular indus try than the sugar industry pre sents to the farmers of Southern Kan sas just now. The price of that article, that has grown into universal demand, is now high enough to render its produc tion profitable, while the demand is healthy and growing. With a little more practical knowledge, which can only be had from experieuce, as to the handling of the sugar producing crops by the farmers and the general management of the business of converting of the raw material into merchantable product, the industry will speedily develop into one of the first importance, both as a profit able undertaking and a steady, inflexi ble source of revenue. Lightning strokes are very common metaphors in political parlance, but the first real exemplification or demonstra tion of the idea in a practical waj we re member to have seen is shown by a dia gram of the Democratic handiwork in gerrymandering the congressional dis tricts of Ohio. Some of the districts as at present arranged and outlined on pa per look verily like the tortuous streaks of the electric fluid. One of them re sembles a huge horse pistol of ancient pattern with a dark lantern attachment, which last, by-the-way, is not an inap propriate insignia, in A'iew of the history of the achievement it commemorates. Fact is, the success of the Democrats in getting control of the state and into posi tion to perform such freaks was itself a marvelous lightning stroke. There is this consolation to Republicans in regard to all this, however: lightning never strikes twice in the same place. INGALLS IN THE SENATE. Frederic' S. DanW in Frank Leslie's Popular ilonthly for April. Mr. Tngalls has long been noted as the sharpest-tongued orator, the most fluent thrower of unpleasant, yet strictly parlia mentary, expressions, in the senate; and his tilts, when on the floor, are not court ed in view of his thoroughly wild west system of tomahawking and scalping his opponents, figuratively speaking. But, as presiding officer, he has been an agree able surprise to both his friends and foes a pink of courtesy, a model of impartial ity, dignity and good sense. Hu- decis ions are remarkably correct, clearly and promptly delivered, and his knack of ex pediting matters is so great that it may truly be said to have changed the method of transacting the business of the chair from a long-hand into a short-hand system. He has a natural talent for sifting, condensing and lopping off useless de tails, and the common run of provokiug and irritating tangles are swiftly sol veil at his hands without the least bother. Indeed, he has been metamorphosed in the chair, and this change from the rabid debater to the calm, model manager is so strikingly strange and novel as to have centered upon him a good deal of extra, admiration and interest. Only an ap parent change, yet it displayssueh an unusual faculty of adaptation, and not merely of imitation, as to keep the re spectful attention of the senate, and of all visitors, fixed on his jersonality even over and above the office he holds." Mr. Ingalls does not beloug to the cate gory of bald headed senators, retaining an ample growth of hair, which is snow wliite. In person he is tall, slim and erect, jerky and stiff, extremely nervous in temperament, restless in movement and look, after the manner of tlte inlmbitant of the west, of which he is a modified tyje: and it is precisely on account of this nervous restlessness that his enforced calmness in the chair, listening to wearisome debates under tle Ixmds of discipline, duty and the exercise of self-control, excites all the more admiration. True, lie dispenses with as much of this terrible discipline as lie thinks he can with safety to the reputation lie lias secured of being a vet eran in tle art of listening to leaden en tertainmeutsl and. durine a long, set speech from which no interest is possible of extraction, he hastens to call up some member to take his place. He lias a cul tured, intellectual air. blended with one of practical shrewdness amounting to hard, downright cunning, to foxiness, for the small nze of his licnd and shape of physiognomy give him a decidedlv foxy look. AH his life an aaekhKHts literary studeot. hit, style of oratory invariably bears evidence of .a very close attention to polish. THE SILK INDUSTRY. The McPherson Republican, a short time ago. anent the publication of the superintendent's annual report to the state board of agriculture, of which it is a bureau, took occasion to condemn the state experimental station at Peabody as having failed of the object for which it was established, and also characterized the industry as a failure in the state, The Leavenworth Sun takes up the Re publican's criticism and declares it non sense, for the reason that ''the experi ment in producing silk in Kansas is new and comparatively untried; the results at first can not reasonably be expected to be satisfactory; our people have every thing to learn and must become not only interested but educated in the matter be fore we can hope for success. Failures and disappointments naturally attend new enterprises and new industries, and the production of silk cannot reasonably be expected to be an exception. Many individual efforts in growing the silk worm have been attended with most gratifying results: enough is known to warrant the belief that the business can be made profitable in Kansas and that ultimately it may become a paying in dustry. Such being the case, the effort should not be abandoned. In a general way the Sun might have added that the state of Kansas last year produced about one-third of all the silk that was produced in the United States, which is certainly a creditable showing, even if the aggregate product of the country is but a comparatively small proportion of what the country needs and consumes annually. The Eagle is not prepared to defend the management of the Peabody station, though it is constrained to believe that it has done as well in its present hands as it could well do, handicapped as it is by the agricultural bureau, through its secre tary. The government's proffered en couragement to the industry, by way of assistance in establishing purchasing agencies at two or three different points in the state to take the product off the hands of those who were encouraged to engage in the new industry, was with held through the interference of this officious sinecure and perhaps other busy bodies who hoped to gain a little personal or local advantage thereby. This, how ever, is by-the-way. What Ave set out to say is that the experiments in silk culture in Kansas, particularly last year, were sufficient to establish not only the entire practicability of the industry in this state, bnt also that it can be made exceedingly profitable, taking into accouut the trifling expense connec ted with it at any stage of the season's operations, from the depositing of the eggs in the osage hedges in the spring, as soon as the foliage is put forth, up to the gathering of the cocoons from the boughs, pretty much as fruit is gathered. The profit of the industry lies in the ab sence of expense all that is required is access to an osage hedge or mulberry trees (the former being decidedly prefer able for many reasons) and a supply of eggs, which the government will furnish through the agricultural department on application. We might add, by way of parenthesis, that free eggs is about all that can be expected from the govern ment so long as the silk bureau remains in the hands of a man who is more interested in the develop ment of a machine that is designed to monopolize the reeling of silk (in which operation there is great profit), to the neglect of the development and encour agement of production of cocoons. Nevertheless, and notwithstanding the?e seeming disadvantages and draw backs, the production of silk is going to develop into one of Kansas' most import ant industries. There are going to be developments in it in the immediate vicinity of Wichita this year that will prove a very e-e opener, and as a sequel to this there will be put in operation in this city in a short time a silk manufac tory that will be in keeping, in point of magnitude and completeness, with the city's history and present importance, no unforseen hindrance intervening. The Eagle's faith in the ultimate de velopment of si'ri-culture in Kansas is stronger today than it has ever been. Unvarying1 Testimony. From Frank Leslie's Weekly. Prohibition sentiment has visibly faded away before the unvaiy testi mony of the splendid and practical workings of the high license law in other states. A compilation recently made by the secretary of the common wealth of Massachusetts in reference to licenses issued in the several cities and towns of that state present striking testimony to the efficiency of the high license law in suppressing the sale of liquor and increasing the revenue from this source of taxation. The figures show, that while in 1SS4, 6.667 licenses were granted and $1,037,000 vaid for licence fees, in 1880 under the operations of the high license law, onl 3.200 licenses were granted, while the amount received from licenses'rose to the enormous figure of $1,812,000. Such figures are unanswerable. They present a consistent argument that coni )els the attention of the prohibitionists, and. where fanaticism does not dominate, must lead him to the side of high license. Another Slander on Kansas. From th? Chicago Tiices. It is not surprising that the house com mittee on territories was disposed to skip Kansas and borrow the laws of Ne braska for temporary application in Ok lahoma. If thev borrowed the Kansas laws they would" have to borrow the pro liibition "law with the rest, and Oklaho ma is not exactly the place where that sort of tiling can be made to work smnothly just now. Under tlie Kansas law each county attorney is made a grand sole inquisitor, with power to sum mon before lum any one wliom lie may suspect of knowing" anything about illicit liquor traffic, question him under oath, and punish him for enntempt if be fail to appear, or refuse to Ik sworn, or to answer any question the inquisitor may be moved to ask. Such inquisitors are not in great demand in Oklahoma juct at present. A Wonderful Country. From tke Bo(i Herald. The Kansas immigration bureau is gathering names of eastern people by bcores of thousands and sending them circulars Sited with glowing account of Kansas a good state to coine.to. The Kansas real estate eopie are trying to get low rates for the people to reach that state, and presumably they afeo want the getting away rate made as high a posa uk. Tlie i-ompetttion of the newer states for eu-wrn iaunigtattEs is very sharp, but Kansas kens well at the front and makes great gains, for it is a wonderfufly J farm a aauMrt!. THE OLD AND THE NEW. A Kansan in the SouthThe Wichita of Alabama Historic Cities and Scenes. Special correspondence to the Daily Eagle. Topeka, Kan., March 18. It is doubtful if there have been as many Republicans in Nashville all at one time since ''Pap.' Thomas' army left it as were called together there by the na tional convention of Republican League clvbs. It was an irruption that the na tive Bourbons did not know what to make of. and a flood that the native Re publicans found unspeakably refreshing. 'It seems mighty good tohaveyou'ns down heah," was the whispered greeting that came to us from behind "Old Shady's" barber chair; while the time tried white Republicans declared that "the sight of all you fellows is a balm for sore eyes." And it was a great sight. 3Iorethan 700 men. representing nearly every state in the union, (not forgetting one lone delegate from Alaska) clean faced, bright-eyed, gathered in the very stronghold of Democracy to talk Repub licanism! And they hail a band along, too, that plaved ''Yankee Doodle,"' and "John Brown's Body," and "The Star Spangled Banner," and "Starching Through Georgia.' Small wonder that the few Bourbons who occasionally wandered within hearing distance, went away sorrowful, with ears tingling! But the doings of the convention have lieen reported by telegraph, and it is not the purpose of this letter to repeat what has already been told. Your readers may be interested, however, in a rapid sketch of some of the things that a brief trip through the late Confederacy reveals to northern eyes. The spledidly equipped Louisville Nashville railroad is to the south what the Santa Fe is to the west a highway that points in whatever direction you may .want to go. Meeting you at St. Louis, it takes you across soutliern Illinois-"- 'Egypt" across the corner of Indiana, across the whole breadth of Kentucky, and up the heaviest grade in the United States, to land you in Nash ville. From there it radiates to Mem phis, to Chattanooga, to Atlanta, and from there to the sea, to New Orleans, and so on around all the points of the compass. Finding himself thus, as it were, in the center, the writer of this could not resist the temxtation to follow out at least one of the radii, and so procured a ticket to New Orleans, with unlimited stop-over privileges. Leaving Nashville in the evening in the midst of a driving snow storm alas, for the "sunny south!" he awoke the next morning deep in the "piney woods'' of middle Alabama. Here and there a turpentine camp, and once in a while a saw mill; but for the most part and all the time an intermina ble, unbroken forest of yellow pine, growing out of thin, yellow soil that doesn't look to Kansas eyes as if it could raise anything; and, as a matter of fact, it doesn't raise anything except pine trees, until it is fertilized. The wealth of the country is all in tree. They are "tapped" for turpentine and I its residue, resin-four or five years; then tney uie anu are cut uown ana iiauieu to the mills, and the land lies worthless un til enriched with phosphates or guano. As Mobile is approached, the country seems to be mostly under water. Broad, muddy, sluggish streams every few miles, and between them cane brakes and impenetrable swamps, crowded with all sorts of semi-tropical vegetation. One shudders to think of the slimy creatures that must infest the dark waters, and wonders how the pio neers ever found courage to force their way through s.uch jungles. Such thoughts are forgotten, how ever, when Mobile is reached, for it is a beautiful city. A typical southern city, with long avenues of magnolias and live-oaks, spanning the whole width of the street, till one can drive in their shade for miles, with stately, porticoed mansions, relics of the old regime, and now and then smart, modern cottages, gaudy as befits the bright skies with white and green and yellow paint. There could not be a better city to ''loaf in, for no body seems in a hurry, and it is just warm enough to make the bhade of the arching trees grateful. But our time is limited, and so we make a hasty trip to the beautiful Magnolia cemetery, where the mocking bird is singing over count less graves, visit the Confederate and Na tional cemeteries hard b3 hurriedly in spect the shipping at the wharves, and by 2 o'clock are again on the train, bound for New Orleans. Some more swamps. Some more pine forests. Then the hazy, gray waters of the gulf. Then health and pleasure re sorts. Then the Crescent Citv. And a strange, wonderful, fascinating city it is. uown tlio miuaie ot it is a splendid street, wide as Pennsylvania avenue in Washington. On the right of this other wide streets and magnifi cent blocks of business houses, and long rows of handsome homes. On the left of it. narrow, tortuous streets, with the queerest jumble of oddly shaped houses, with high pitched roofs and pon derous doon and barricaded windows. One is American, the other is French. One is nineteenth century, the other is seventeenth, it would take pages to sevemeemn. it womu mwe pages w i lioint out the differences, and then tney i would have to be seen to be appreciated. Besides these contrasts, there are plenty of the south. Pleasure and health resorts on lake Ponchartrain. cemeteries, parks, statues, and miles and miles of ships. To give anything like an adequate descrip tion of any part of it would far exceed the limits of this letter, and so we leave it all with the single admonition: Go and see for your-elves. Going down we saw the "Old South."' Coming back we took a look at tle new. And there i no longer any doubt that there is indeed a "New South"' when one steps onto the streets of Birmingham. They call this town the Wichita of Ala bama, and the term is a compliment to Marsh Murdoch's Peerless Princes'?. In 1SS0 a quiet town of 4.000 pouplation: in 1 SCO a bustling city of 40,000. The dis covery of coal and iron tells the storv. Twelve great blast furnaces, several roll ing milt, foundries machine shops small chance for the old ways and the old ideas to keep alive in such an atmos pliere. It is as if a section of Pennsyl vania had leen dropped down in "the land of cotton." And Birmingham is not the only city that has felt tlie change. Slwffield and Anniston and Decatur have all experienced the new birth, and are "getting a move on them" that means more in every Avar than could be told in many letter?. Briefly stated, it means that'Bourbonism must go, Boorbontsro, whether it be in polirics or bustnebs. stands mighty little show in a contest with blast furnaces. But this letter has alreadv overreached its limit, and no room is left for the re mainder of the journey, which took ns over the historic grownd of Lookout Mountain. Miayon Ridge and Chicka xnauga. and through the romantic and beamifni scenery of Ea?t Tenuesye. In just a sentence, then, let it be said that the whole trip was one of continuous in terest and pleasure. Without leaving the sntendidlr enuinoed ami oouneonslr manned Louisville Nashville railroad upon which tc smarted, we had hen car- neu to uie newnot we ju ouwa, me oenlrortbeVwSoifaaa1weTsroaKi; Lmade forever mamorabJe by feeidea that i won and sealed the perpetuity of the Union. The best wish we can offer to the readers of these lines is that they may some day have the good fortune- to make the same journey. D. O. McCkay. SUNFLOWER SHADOWINGS. Senator Imralls likes to be bizarre. He does not like peanuts. Arkansas River presbytery will meet at Arkansas City on the 25th of this month. Elmdale, Chase county, has a "Looking Backward" club of twenty-one members. An alliance store at Moline, Kan., has failed for $0,000. As ilonte Cristo ex claimed: "Three!"' A. G. Staceyhas gone to Alabama. There has been a storm brewing around the ed itor of "Our State" and he needed a vaca tion. A Maine man has made $1,000,000 in the chewing gum business. Why couldn't our surplus corn be converted into such an ar ticle? Tne six weeks after ground hog day has gone and now that the weather is past the majority of us do not care whether it was bad or not. A bright little miss living on the west side on being asked one Sunday morning if she wits going to church replied: "No, I'm a Democrat." Abilene has a dress reform club; but a woman with a new spring dress and bon net will attract as much attention in Abi lene as any where else. Whatever Reverend Dr. Thwing's poli tics are or whatever his opinions, he was smart enough and economist enough to known that 73,000 is more than $5,000. The Leavenworth coal mines have been so far developed that in case of a demand for the entire outpit of the mine, employ ment can be given to fully 2,000 miners. The New York Star ha resurrected a. formerly of Kansas man George M. Bee be. He lives up in Sullivan county, in the state of New York, where he edits a newspaper. It is said that Sumner county has one township in the history of which for the past sixteen years a crime again.-t the laws of the statehns not been recorded. Sum ner is one of the "big four" counties. A rumor of attempted murder of a prom inent citizen in Atchison by another equal ly high in the social scale, is the sensation o"f the day there. 2Tone of the local papers, among whom there is a rivalry to get the news-, best and first, are able or willing to enlighten the people about it. This is the time of year that people wear out last summer's old straw hats and con sign the tattered shoes of winter to the rubbish fire. Monday the fifteenth men were working all over Kansas in their shirt sleeves and boys were running in their bare feet, and it was delightfully warm, the thermometer registering 79. The new bath house at that famous summer report, which has a sound some what similar to Punch's better half Geuda Springs, will be opened April 10. Juamta is still frozen up in innocuous desuetude, but she will warm up in time and receive a sweltering host upon her placid bosom. Juanita is the bathing lake. j The Methodist minister at Argonia was I called out of his pulpit as Jie was announc ing his text to marry a couple. The knot was hastily tied and the minister returned to the pulpit and preached a sermon that converted a dozen of his hearers, more or less. And this is not the only minister in southern Kansas who can wade in and do the devil up with one hand tied behind lum. J GlnMf tne.Vcf we drove nion,, over the hard r0ad,af tor heavy rain, Monday night, we could not help lino pity the poor people in the eastern states. It brought baclc memories of the time when we were a boy, in Illinois, and tried to go to mill with two bushels of corn on the hind heels of a wagon and got stuck in the mud, notwithstanding the fact that the outfit was drawn b3' two strong mules. OKLAHOMA OUTLINES. Guthrie will have its Arbor day next Saturday, barring blizzards and "sech." Mayor James Martim of Edmond, has been appointed United btates commission er for that point. The inhabitants of Union City are plant ing trees shade trees, fruit trees, suc cinctly, all sorts of trees. It is reported that a contract has been let to remove the Hotel Caddo from Repres ent location, within thirty days. Union City boasts of a number of new residences that are finished and ready tor occupancy even this early in the spring.

Last January, on tho first evening that a light snow carpeted tho Toofs of Paris, a closed carriage rtjlIcU alqas the boulevards, spinning like a zefira. It -was So loaded with trunks that you -wciiW have thought an ac tress was setting out on u journey. Worse. "Withfr' vab a valetudinarian, large and fat, ono of those wSioai a trifle disturbs, end who think their fi toAl day of reckoning is near when thoy havo a cold In the head. This one imagined he had -weak lungs. -So at tho approach of cold Treat hisr he bundled himself w.th fur3 and fled to "Mt:c. lie vras a bachelor. A (I though he could havo married at any time, f( lhe had 100,000 francs in stocks, and therefore suited many young ladles, ho had been um rilling to dispose of his riht hand. "Nast to hi naself, tho one he loved beot v.as his cook not for herself, but for her cooking. Xo oue took better care of No. 1. Under no circumstance s would ho have dis turbed himself to do a lUvor. He would not havo lent five sous to but father in the street, for ft would have been 1 ficessary to unbutton his overcoat to take out Lis purse. He was indeed the mo pt extravagant crank to be mot with. His most insignificant acts wer on system; he Elept, roso, ate, smoked and took medicino wit h his watch in hand. STay curious stories -were told at his ex pense. For instance, 1 jo was so nervous, so irritab'Aj, that ho detest ed the songsters in tho courycirds. Tho porttr had to drive them away w.lth tho broom. To persons who per sisted in singing in tio street ho quickly threw.a half franc om condition that thoy would leave. Now, crvery time the porter lacked ho price of a drink he put on a false beard and a red waistcoat and went under tho window, mppng on a pan as a prelude to a dane. Immediately a half franc was f orthcotnii g. The neigalwrs had to hold their sides, for there ar jp&'i tie wlo cannot help laughing. At Nice he alwaya put up ht tho great United Stite& hotel, where for fifteen years tbe same Lagnificent. room, wall exposed to tho sun, ha'J. boon reserved for his U6e. It was the oulj' one he fancied, arid ho occupied i until Apr u 2 at noon precso'y,-the hour at which he set out for Pans. H.s name excited rarth. I will riot at tempt an cxp hmation,, but c crybjdy smiled whenever he v las introduced. He iras known as M. Jrurae. Now iL Jauu o arrived at Nice the day after leirving Paris uti 0 o'clock in the evening. Ho par voolc of au ex cellent dinnor a ba uillabaisse nux langousts, a fillet marine, a quail, as paragus, and u bottle of Chateau la Hose. "W ith this ho oped not to die wiJh hunger. Then, after haV.ing smokod a good cigar to scttlo hisicoffoo mid champagne, bo retired to rest. It wes 9 o'clock when ho ensconced Tiimself in bod. Ho oxHnginshed tho lighrt, and, stretching hfmself out, anticipated siiop like a dormouse. But scnrceJy lud ho droppsd in dozo whn a fluto was heard in tho ntixt. apart ment playing tiio adr from Faust: "Let, oh, let mo saze upon thy fa:e!" Tho tono was street and silvery, sp tho first impression was charming; but tie .flutist cut short tho melody at tho fourth maosuro and repeated it several times, then re sted for fivo minutes and resumed in liko manner, stop ping at tho same point. "What is tho matter with hfcm?" said 1L Jauno to himself. Tho other continued without a sign, of trouble. At the Ctfh rohennvd, as there is nothing so agreeable as not to weary iu tho end, .M. Jauno tapped on tho partition wall. Tho flate was silent. Satisfied, he rook a potation from his night table and closed his, eyes. It v.as 10 o'clock. Tho hotel was almost empty, tho greater part of tho guests not having yet come in. Suddenly tho peaceful silence was broken by the fluto. "Let, oh, let mo gazoupot: thy facer M. Jauno grow excited. "Whow! Ho is getting to be.a nuisance. If this is for an extra attraction I wilL dis pense with it." Ho tapped loudly and cried out: "Will you stop? If you don't 111 gazo upon your face protty soonf' When 1L Jaune got augryho forgo tho dictates of politeness. Thcro was siluuco again, and he begau to got drowsy. Suddenly: "Let, oh, leMne gaac upon thy focolw "Fiel The mean scamp!' H rang for the chambermaid. "Who is this id:rt of a flutist whom. I havo for a neighbor he asked. "A flutist!' sho exclaimed, with a vacant air. "Why, M. Jaune. you aro dreaming. The chamber is empty."' Y. Jaune dared not reply. The surmise obtruded itself that perhaps ho was beginning to havo delusions. Besides, so long as tho chamliermaid was at 1 md the flutist could not bo heard. But scarcely was she gone, crack: "Let, oh, let me gare upon thy face!" And so on about oace a minute. "M-. Jauno floundered about and sank uuder the bod cov erings exhaustd. At 11 o'clock ho heard some one enter. Un ler the partition door he saw a gleam of light. Ho heard tho rustling of garments cud preparations 'for bed. Atterward quiet rwgued, and he slept, as usual, until the next roon. On this second day, after having taken a walk on the Promenade Des Anglais for a ran bath, ssed a liuie time at the club and dined composedly, he went up to retire at 10 o'cluck. He commenced undressing. Suddenly just to you have it: "Let, oh,' let me gazo upon thy face'" Forgetting his grotesque appearance in h3 nightcap, half uudressod, he rushed down to complain to the master of the house. "jj. Fvioii, why do you furnish lodgings to musical artists in a house which I thought to commendable f" "Truly, !L Jaune, I do not know what you jnean. I beg you to believe that I havo re gard enough for my interests to refuse those people." "Then you have one without knowing it c, flutist at No. 10, next mo." "I beg your pardon, M. Jaune, at No. 10 is a most sedate lady, iiffie. .Kissrnicouick, of tho United States, and at No. 6 is lUss White rose, of London." "I repeat that there is a flutist at No. 10. Perhaps the lady thrusts him into the Tard robs when any one goes in." "I beg your pardon cin, jL Jaune. Hhie. iUssmicouici: enjoys an irreproachable repu tation. No landlord in Nica would be willing to receive a doubtful character. Mrao. K5ss xaicouick is a maturo widow.

However, bis head was Kssrcely on teajimowgcnirkl joa JiavpiJ;, "Let, oh, let me gaze upon thy face!" "Flute again!" exclaimed 1L Jaune. He rang for the chambermaid. "Ask your master to come here." M. Favloli hurried up. "Listen, pray," said M. Jaune. M. Favioli endeavored to hold his breath. Of a sudden two philandering cats set up a caterwauling on the balcony. "I hear only two cats talking love to each other," said M. Favioli. "I hear them, too," if. Jaune chimed in. 'Be patient The flute will begin again." M. Favioli held his breath. Suddenly, crack, the flute I "Lst, oh, let me gase upon thy face!" M. Jaune, in agitation, struck against tho wall, while 3L Favioli burst into loud laugh ter. "I have it, 1L Jaune J have it. I will pre sent you to the artist. Please follow me." Ho took a light, and opening Mme. Kissmi couick's door with his pass key, he pointed to a cago on the table, in which a bird similar to our blackbirds was moving his head about and singing without a semblance of fear. "That is Mine. Kissmicouick's flute, M. Jaune an Australian nightingale. These birds learn an air perfectly and in the night charm the neighbors." Somewhat calmer, for it was folly to get angry with a bird, JL Jaune said: "Propose to the lady to sell It to me. Go as high as 5XO francs, that I may havo the satis faction of wringing its neck." "Well, 1L Jauno, I will speak to her this evening." 3X. Favioli complied with his promise, but lime. Kissmicouick sent him walking. "Fivo hundred francs I" she cried. "I think as much of it as a Chinaman of his pigtail. Say to that fellow that I will not sell my bird for 3500, for it is a souvenir of my hus band." The word "fellow' touched jL Jaune's sen sibility; he grew red in tho face and threat ened retaliation. As Mmo. Kissmicouick was accustomed to sleep from 2 to 5 o'clock in the afternoon ho scraped, on a violin, 200 times In succession, tho first four measures of "Heturning from tho Review." Unfortunately for his plan Mme. Kissmi couick was deaf of one ear. She lay on tho other and slept with tho serenity of a mar mot. In tho evening, still in a perspiration, de lighted with having silenced tho bird, if not the mistress, ho promised himself a fine sleep. But hark! Suddenly in tho silence, crack! you have. No, you don't have it. Tho bird, which had, it appeared, a pro digious memory, began to sing "Returning from tho Review," without prejudice to "Let Ale,"' first one, then the other; so that instead of one annoyance M. Jaune had two. Under such provocation he stolo with the tread of a wolf to lime. Kissmicouick's door." By chanco sho had not locked it. Ho hurried to the cago, and with heart full of bitterness threw into it a biscuit dipped in nrseniato oi potash and tripped back again to his room. But, far from making away with itself, as the cruel lordling hoped, the bird sang twice a minute iustead of once, and then, as though it had two throats, it warbled tho two airs together, "Let Me,"' and "Tho Review." Furious, M. Jaune ran again to the door of tho American lady. She had now come in and locked it, but it gavo way under the im pact of his shoulder. "Madame," cried ho, "your conditions, no matter what they are?" "Indeed, sir," she replied, her face suffused with blushes, "you havo broken into my domicile with a high hand. Save my honor! Marry mel" "Beelzebub may tako you first!" exclaimed M. Jaune, without any French courtesy. M "Then I shall appeal to tho law." Pestered by the endless troubles which pur sued him M. Jauno was finally brought to say: "I consent if you let mo kill that miscrablo parrot." "I will hand him over to you willingly on tho day of the nuptials, dear M. John." Sha thought that his namo was John instead of Jauno. M. Jauno led Mme. Kissmicouick to the altar a few days afterward. "I will be so disagreeable," said he to him self, "tha't sho cannot enduro me, and will hurry off to her own country."' Now, on returning from tho review ex cuse me, I mean from church ho promised himself tho inhuman satisfaction of having tho nightingao fricasseed and served with his dinner. Nevertheless, Mme. Jaune-Kiss-micouick graciously handed him tho cage. Zounds! What a surprise! It was a stuffed bird which a Parisian nrtist had mounted as a singing bird. In order to keep tho wheels from rusting tho lady wound it up every evening before going out. Tho other nightingale, which M. Jaune had taught to sing "Tho Review,"' was that of Miss Whiteroso at No. 6. In faco of such contempt M. Jaune has en tered n complaint to annul the marriage for error of person or i athor for error of bird. Translated from the French for the San Francisco Call.

An Old Engineer Says It Is Of ton Safei Kot to Juiaji Soma Interesting Illustra tions or His Theory Tho Fate of "Doc" i Simmons, "Things have changed considerably since you used to ride with me," said a prominent railroad official to a reporter the other day, and the reporter was compelled to admit that thoy had, for in tho day3 recalled the now general superintendent of c great railroad was an engineer and the scribe a junior clerk in the freight department of tho company employing both. "Yes," continued tho old gentleman, "every thing is changed except the average news paper writer's idea of tho crushing weight of responsibility under which the locomotive engineer is supposed to constantly stagger. Tho assumption that he stands rigid on the footboard, with one hand firmly grasping the throttle and tho other clutching the reverse lever, his eyes riveted on tho track ahead of him, and his soul racked with anxiety for the safety of the precious human freight com mitted to his charge. THE FIRST LAW OF WATCRE. "Self preservation i.s tho first law of na ture, and no man confronting almost certain death sinks all thoughts of his own safety be neath a wavo of anxiety for the preservation of others. Some engineers, though they are not in tho majority, contend that a mau's chances of escaping injury or -death in a col lision, though small iu any circumstances, are better in remaining in tho cab than in jumping. Others adhere to the belief that the chances of escape aro infinitely better in jumping. But there aro many conditions to bo taken into consideration. Supposo that at tho time the jumping engineer got ready to leave his engine ho should find that his leap would land him in a ravine fifty feet ov more in depth, or upon a piloof railroad iron, or dash him against a stone wall, do you think he would jump? Not he. He would tako his chances of crawling out of the wreck alivo rather than jump into eter nity. "The first thing an engineer thinks of when his engino leaves tho track is to shut off his steam. He then reaches for tho air brake and at tho samo time tries to roverse her. Suppose he is on a high embaulmient, and that by tho time he has applied tho brake his engino begins to roll down tho bank. He can't jump, for he is rolling with her, and iu nine cases out of ten ho will grasp the reverse lever or throttle to hold on. Probably the next turn tho engine makes will crush the Engineer to death. Wheu tho wreck is cleared away tho poor fellow is found with his hand on the throttle, and out goes the report that he refused to jump and perished a victim to hi3 efforts to save his passengers, though all of the available efforts to stop the train had been exhausted with his shutting off, apply iug tbe brake and roverang. No matter, the fact that his hand was on the throttlo is sufficient to canonize him. Together with this reporc is made tho statement that the G: eraan jumped una saved his life. Of course Jie did. He had plenty of time, and if tho engineer had had as much time don't bo fool ish enough to think that he wouldn't have gone with tho fireman." "I seems strango to seo you in the role of iconoclast, Mr. A., after having yourself served as an engineer for twenty-fivo years," remarked the reporter. "Why, my dear fellow, I am not trying to destroy any idols; I am simply endeavoring to impress upon your mind the fact that the locomotive engineer is only human. TWO EXGHCECRS. "As engineers seldom lose their heads, I will givo 3rou the only instance of one doing go that I can recall. It illustrates tho theory, too, that it is safer to remain in tho cab than to jump. Joe B. had never had an accident more serious than a broken spring hanger Eiuco ho began railroading. His phenomenal lack in this respect gained for him through tho local papers, of course the reputation of being the most careful and trustworthy engineer ou tho road. One day as ho was bowling aloug at about thirty-five miles an hour, with ten well loaded passenger cars bo hind him, ho slid off his seat to stretch his legs. He had scarcely gained his feet when the parallel rod on his sido broke, and the three foot pieca attached to the crank pin of the back driver crashed through the seat he had just vacated, showering Joo with splin ters, broken gins', etc. At the next revolu tion the flying cud of tho rod struck tho end of a tie, lifted the engtnt about six inches, and tat her down with a bang. Did tho en gineer, whoso fidelity and carefulness ac cording to the local papers had enabled him to rim ten or fifteen years without mishap and endeared him to the frequent riders on tho road, 'bravely stick to his post' and sac rifica himself to the safety of his ten car loads of passengers? Indeed ho didn't. He incontinently sacrificed himself to the fright which oveicamo him. Ho didn't oven wait to shut off, bus took a flying leap as the rod came througu the cab a second time, and, lauding on his head, broko his nock. The fireman stopped tho train, 'took down' the disabled side of tho engine, and brought her in. "On tho other hand, I suppose thecasoof Ed Simmons, better known as 'Doc' Sim mons, tv ho was killed at New Hamburgh draw about twenty years ago, is tho best ex ample of tho theory that jamplng is safer than hanging on that railroad history ro cords. Simmons was hauling the express that left Now York about 0:30 p. m. As ho ueared New Hamburgh bridge he saw com ing toward him on the down track a freight train. As the latter struck the bridge sev eral of its cars loaded with oil left the track and crowded over toward the up track, so that it wa3 impossible for Simmons to pass them. That was before air brakes came into uro, at least on the Hudson River road, and braking was dono by hand. The passenger cars were fitted, however, with what was known as the Creamer patent brake, which was used in emergencies. The apparatus consisted of a powerful Bpring attached to the bmko wheel at ono end of tho car. The 3priag was wound up and held by a pawl and x-atchet. A sharp pull of the bell cord raised the pawl and released tho spring, which set tho brakes. Simmons undoubtedly believed he could stop his train before reaching the bridge, and, in addition to his recourse to the ordinary methods of stopping, told his fire man to pull the 'patents.' The fireman testi fied at the coroner's inquest that ho obeyed the order, but whether he did or not is still an op-n question. There is uo doubt, how ever, that ho jumped immediately after getting the order, hs himself having admitted that, and he is alive today, while Simmons, who hadn't the time to jump after the neces sity for doingo became plain, woat with his engine through the ice to the bottom of Wap pingers creei:. Whea Simmoas was taken out a few da s later not a scratch could b found on his body. Ho had bea simply drowsed. Now York San. 1 Ilatlier Mean.

A Policeman's Impetuous Actton Which Cost tho City a Quarter. Policeman Hennifln, active and watch ful of the pablic welfare, saw a cabman whipping a horse. "What are you doing there?"' the po liceman called. "Don't you ceo what I am doing?" "Yes, I do' "Then why do you ask me?" "You impudent rascal, I'll run you in." The policeman got in the cab and ord ered tho fellow to drive to the Harrison street station. The next morning the cabman was arraigned before court, and when the judge asked who had made the arrest, Hennifin stepped forward and said: "Your honor, I saw this man whipping his horse and I arrested him." "And your honor,"' the cabman broko in, "I whipped him because he kicked me. There'o not a man in this town that's been kinder to a horse than I've been to this one. and under the circum stances I had a right to whip him." "That may be,"' tho judge answered, "but I am compelled to fine you. even though the amount bo merely nominal. I will therefore assess your fine at fifty cents." "All right," the cabman replied, and I wish to present a bill for seventy-five cents against the city."' "What for?" the judge asked. "For hauling this policeman to the sta tion." "Did he bring you in his cab?" the judge asked of tho policeman. "Your honor, I arrested him, and in stead of calling a patrol wagon I thought the easiest way would be to have him drive down here and" "Give him seventy-five cents," said the judge. The cabman received the money, placed fifty cents on tho judge's desk, put twenty-five cents in his own pocket, grinned at Policeman Hennifin and strode out. Arkansaw Traveler. Accepted with Thanks.

Tricks to Bo Used with Opposing Conn eel Courtesy in tho Court. Law and lawyers fill an important placo in English history. They are for moro prom inent than was the case even in ancient Greece or Rome; and every schoolboy knows how largo a share. they had ia public and domestic affairs in classical times. Some persons aro to to met with who alleges that this is the most lawyer ridden country in tho world. This may be true or otherwise, but it is curious and instructive to observe how legal usages and methods remain substan tially the same as they were in the middle ages. A spirit of litigation prevailed then, as now, perhaps neither moro or less. People aro always apt to rush to tho courts for a re dress of wrongs, real or imaginary, and for tho maintenance of rights supposeu to be withheld or impaired. Xot every one has found time or oppor tunity to look into tho Speculum Juris" or "Mirror of Justice." Briefless barristers, and somo pleaders who fail with judge and jury, might do worse than take a survey. It is a work written by one Guillaume Durand, who flourished about six centuries ago, and is supposed to bavo died in 1290. At any rate, be lived and wrote after the settlement of that system of judicature, in the time of Henry H and Edward I, which has virtually remained to the present time. Tho book was very popular, and was deemed of great au thority. It was extensively transcribed at a time when the art of printing was unknown, and it was issued from tho press, in a com manding folio form, soveral times during the Fifteenth and Sixteenth centuries. It became a sort of vade mecum with budding and as piring lawyers for generations after tho writer had passed away. This oraclo gives advico as to appearance, behavior and modes of speech, such as wero calculated to insure success in the law courts.. When he wroto clergymen were also lawyers, as they wero statesmen and administrators. It is not surprising, therefore, to find that Durand became bishop of Jlende. Ho was a native of Provenco; but French ecclesiastics were then very numerous in England not always to tho complete satisfaction of tho na tives. However, he seems to have been suc cessful as an advocate while here, and ho frankly explains how ho succeeded for tho benefit of others. Ho cautious them not to indulge in personalities towards tho counsel on the other side, from which it is to bo in ferred that references to "my learned friend" were not always of the most respectful char acter. Instead oi' this being done, it is well to treat him decorously, "unless, indeed, ho treat you rudely.' This, a saving clause, is susceptible of wide application. "When re plying to his arguments, rou should com mend him slightly, but not too much, and commend him by equivocal words." Exam ples aro givon showing that tho writer was a master of dialects and verbal refinements, not to say quirks and quibbles. Mr. Serjeant Buzf uz is a character of remote antiquity. Great provocation was soinotimes experi enced at tho bar. Counsel were touchy or imperious, especially to juniors. "You must not treat your adversary with contumely, or call him in plain words a ruffian or a pre varicator, or insinuate as much by saying 'I am not a thief,' thereby intimating that bo is." If matters went to an extremity, and if in a moment of irritation he brought a charge of falsehood, then "you inay safely say, 'You aro a liar,' but protest that you say so not with intent to mjuro him, but only to defend your own cause." v Judges aro but men, and thereforo are lia ble to human infirmities. It Ls to bo feured that their tempers wero not always perfect 000 years ago. Doubtless, they had much to try them, in stupid or prevaricating witness es, and even in the bearing of counsel. Du rand devotes much space to suggestions and warnings as to behavior in court. On enter ing, tho first thing to be done was to remove tho cap and make an obeisance. This was to bo graduated according to tho rank of tho judge. "His honor" iu a county court is not entitled, presumably, to so much deference as "my lord' in one of the supremo courts. Thero were no stipendiaries or registrars in those days. Otherwise, it might be a curious inquiry as to how much of "obeisance" they should receive. But it is evident that judges wero sometimes angry,, with or without cause. If so, "do not rejoin." They might even bo sarcastic. Still it was better not to retaliate. Loquacity was to bo guarded against, for ths bench did not like it. Care must be taken "not to laugh causelessly be foro the judge,"' lest ho might imagine that it was at him. "When ho speaks, listen re spectfully, and then laud his wisdom and eloquence." Durand enumerates sundry judicial quali ties which counsel might praise and magnify; "but be careful about attributing all to one person." In other words, keep a reserve stock of complimentary phrases, suitablo for other judges. Bo careful not to say auythiug to offend, "for it is a hazardous thing to have a suit before an offended judge." It might even bo well to convoy a hint that ho knows everything, while 3 our knowledge is infinitesimal. Manner also is all important. It is well to riso gracefully, not arrogantly, and to put on an affable and pleasant look, even if tho feelings bo the reverse. "Do not move your head or feet awk wardly." Ouo would almost imagine that some modern counsel must have been pres ent, at any rate by a sort of anticipatory metempsychosis, when we read that certain advocates "rab the face, puh their hair be hind the ears, blow the nose loudly, clear the throat, examine their hands and their dress, alternately lift their eyes to heaveu and bow their head, wnnklo tho forehead, compress the lips, frown and fix their bauds on their lips." These old counsel had a trick, it appears, of keeping tue advocate on tho other side wait ing so long in court as to wear out his pa tience. Or they would cunningly pretend to bo asleep during his arguments. Durand dis approves of this. Ho also advises that tho opposing counsel bo not left behind, lest ho should earwig tho judge. Tho advocate of old standing was to bowaro of tho younger ones. They had the law fresh and kept them selves informed on recent decisions. By dili genco and a desire- for barren honor, they sometimes won a victory over their seniors, ho became idle and careless. "The junior is to speak lirst. The senior is to follow, m order that his specious and experienced argu ments may be better remembered by too judge. But both should agree on the course that their speeches take, and if one of them is making a mess of it the client should stop him, for an ox and an as thou'.tl not plow to gether."' Finally, tho advice is given not to take a l$v fee for pleading, lest reputation be lost. "Undertake those causes only which you can conscientiously advocate. If a cause bo desperate, give it up." It will be seen that incst of the types of legal character delineated D.v jjuranc are sun existing, .iiuca 01 uu advice seems to be practiced, and tho rc mascdr is not undesrvmg of careful reflec tion.
