TYPEWRITING AND LITERATURE.

"No. I cannot use tlie typewriter.” remarked a literary jnan the other day. "nor can 1 dictate with any satisfaction. And there are a sn»«l many other people in the same boat with me. 1 beard one torcll known writer say not Ions ago that, while he could get along well enough with his correspondmn on the typewriler. he could do nothing at all In the way of literary work: As for dictation, it was simple an imitussihiUty for him. He had tried it repeatedly, hut had never been able to succeed, it was the more angular in his case because he was formerly a public speaker and was in the habit of speaking without a manuscript; and he is noted as a talker, being fluent, ready and rapid. He even said that he could not dictate a correo.tion in typewritten copy. The only satisfactory tiling for him to do was to take the cop}- himself and write in the change. -•Then there is ; he must be making something like (300 a week from bis literary work in all directions. -One would think that he wonld be almost mmpelled to employ a stenographer, but I undi-rstand he dues all his work with his own hand. I liaveil card of a very prolific editor who was iiidmvd by his friends to lighten his labors by employing a sten- ■ gnipher and typewriter. In has case it .rkisl very iiirionsly. He liad

There is no great ?r evidence of crudity tlian a belief thut a declaration of an honest opinion is always in order and

tliat silence is deceit.

Tact is regarded as a sixth sense by some, and if we *top to analyze it we wonld say that it was a perfect balance ' of honesty and oouventionality, for the tactful [K-rsun is of too high an order to be untruthful, and of too kindly a nstnre to lie unconventional. It is this balance that endows him with that attitude that lifts him above the mass ef men. Tho woman who thinks it necessary to tell another tliat she has "gone off five year* in one” ia eertainly honest, bnt she is not conventional, even though she ean quote the written laws of every book on etiquette, and accepts all new acquaintances on the bam* of the "rule* fur the use of card*."

C. F. WILLIAMS, PROPRIETOR

The exception to the rule, if the scriptnral saying tliat “a prophet is not without honor save in kjs own country" is really a rule, lias been found, it was discovered, through a young man in the Booth and Mudjccka company. Hi* name is Clarence Duval, and ho was assigned to the minor parts in the plays those great artists preMBted to the public. In ••Richelieu" he played Francois, and when the curo|iany was at Zanesville, O., that happened to bo the play produced. This town is the young man's native place. It is the place where he was horn, bronght np, and where ho went ont of nights to steal watermelons with the

other boys.

Young Dnval was not exactly a prophet, but ho was a member of a great company and the town turned ont in great force. The house was full, and it soon became apparent that Clarence was the star attraction. Every time he came upon the stage ho was greeted with apphtose, and for every little speech he made a liouqnet of flower* was thrown him. Booth Modjeskn were terribly slighted night, and as the actors stood bowing when the curtain arose, in response to an encore after the last act, a huge stand of flowers was handed over tho footlights. It boro a card, on which was written three napies in the following order: "Clarence Dnval, Edwin Booth, Helena Modjeska.” Clarence had all tho honors that night, even if bo should never be heard of again.—Chicago Herald.

Llglitnluc Stroks* Statistics. The statistics of lightning strokes in Germany during the past twentyyears have been investigated by Herr Kastuor, who shows that the annual number of cases has more than doubled in. that time. In 1889 there were fewer than 1,145 strokes. They are n frequent in the hottest months of the year, June and July, and in the hottest hoars of tbc day or those following them (from 3 to 4 p. m.) It siipeare that the thunder storms proceed from tho hills, and the parts of their course most liable to be struck are woodless and fiat places, valleys of riven and low meadows, near lakes, while wooded and hilly districts generally escape. This last deduction is hardly in accordance with oar popular ideas on the subject—London QJobe.

STALLION FIGHT^TO THE DEATH.

ALLION FIGHT^TC d "X Urfp OB HU fw* i nru«i. A fight to the death between two blooded stallions was the thrilling spectacle sdtneasd on Capt. B. F. Treeter s farm at Aurora, Ind. Two 8-year-old stallion*, spirited and valuable thoroughlireds, were turned into adjoining pasture* to feed. A wooden fence divided the fields, and although as colts the pair pUyfully hit and kicked at each other across it, the fence mu snpposed to be strong enough to keep them vparate and prevent trouble. The colts lagan their fight over the fence, and kicked and inawcd at each other until the fence was demolished. Then they came together in a straggle, which for fiervenow and length exceeded anything which the spectator* ever witnessed. They stood on their hind legs, fiercely pawing and striking at each other with their iron shod forefeet, and tearing each other'* neck and shoulders with their teeth. Their neighing and screams of rage and the sound of their kicks and snort* were heard fully half a mile away. A half dozen or more persons were attracted to the scene of the conflict, but no vicious were the enraged animals that fur nearly an honr no one dan4f p> ffo near them. Covered with blood and foam, with flaming ryes and open mouth*, they seemed the very incarnation of fury a* they hit and savagely tore each other. While the lookers on were devising mime mean* to separate them the furious animals grew more frantic, and repeatedly rolled over each other on the groniul, biting and kicking desperately. At length the smaller of the two. u bright bar. caught his antagonist by tbe throat with hi* teeth and dragged him to the ground. The larger horse kicked and rolled in an effort to avoid choking to death, but the smaller animal clung to its hold. The battle, lately so noisy, went on fiercely in dead silence, except for the thud of the feet uf the two equine gladiators. The larger home became more and more feeble, until finally it ceased to move. Still with bulldog tenacity tho rictor held his grasp upon his opponent's throat, tmlling and shaking savagely, although his own strength was fast d*v dining. Ho was at last beaten away by the more courageous of the spectators. He ran a few yards and dropped from sheer exhaustion. His adversary was dead. Although badly cut and bruised from the teeth and hoofs of his foe, the living animal survived the terrible conflict.— Cincinnati Dispatch.

When they do the religion gen - •rally ootea ont os the dollars come in. and they end by giving np ministerial work altogether.

Bishop Warren, of the church north, is rich, having married the widow of a ranchman in Denver. Bnt Bishop Hendrix, of the Methodist church sonth, enjoys the distinction of being the richcat bishop in America, having inherited a fortune which by careful management he has greatly increased.
