THE FALSE OKLANOO.
While stars are twinkling bright above,
And Lana sings in Western steeps,
Her loucly watch fair Cynthia keeps
And broods upon her maiden love.
Upon her pallid cheek a tear
Strays from her wan and fierceless eye,
And from her lips escapes a sigh—
•“Oh! why is not Orlaudo here?”
Is that his voice in yonder dale,
That floats like music in the air?
No, no I Orlando is not there—
TTis but the tuneful nightingale.
Is it his step upon ll>e hill
That brings the bloom to Cynthia's
cheeks?
Nay, 'tis a thirsty mule that seeks
Refreshments at the mountain rllL
Heaven help thee in thy piteous plight,
O, Cynthia, fair as summer skies;
Compose thy sorrow, wipe thine eyes—
Orlando will not come to-night!
For in the mid night’s solemn hush
lie breathes a vow that smells of wine;
He holds a hand that is not thins,
Aud dallies with a bobtail flash!

A SERMON ON THE OBELISK.
A Little Congregation at the Doors or
Whose Sfeetlng'Hense the Monolith
Lay Yesterday.
At the northeast corner of Eighty-sixth
street and the Boulevard, upon the bluff
on the present street level and overlook
ing the obelisk as it now lies, stands an
old, well-worn and storm-stained frame
bouse whose large parlors have been con
verted to the uses oi a Baptist church, and
here lor some weeks recently the Rev. J.
Stanford Holme has preached to his con
gregation. The congregation owns prop
erty adjoining where eventually a chinch
will be built. Last night Mr. Holme
preached about Joseph aud the obelisk
which lay attbeirdoor. His text was from
the-list chapterof Genesis: “And Pharaoh
called Joseph's name Zaphnath-Paaneali;
and he gave him to wife Asenalii, the
daughter of Polipherab, priest of On.”
Speaking of Joseph’s father-in-law and of
his calling, the preacher said that Helio
polis was reuowued for the temple • and
for its priesthood and that the priest
hood was the most learned in the laud. The
Temple of the Sun, even in nins centu
ries old, is seen to have been a grand
buildiug. The “Obelisk,” he continued,
“which lies yonder at the foot of our hills
was one of two creeled by Thothmes III.
at the entrance of the Temple of On. And
is it not a wonderful historic coincidence
that on the very Sunday that our school is
cugaged in the study of Joseph’s life there
should be lying at our door, 5,000 miles
away fiom the quarry where the stone
was cut and 3,000 years after it was first
erected, one of the obelisks which stood at
the door of the temple where Potiphar was
high priest—the stone on which the
eyes of Joseph have looked. It is not
enough to say that for some unkown
reason the Khedive of one of the oldest
nations cave tin* »tono to the young
Republic, and that a great capitalist was
pleased to furnish the money with which
to bring it here, or that Commander Gor-
ringe, with singular ability, brought this
great, bulky stone over water and land.
No, the hand of God is in it. It has come
in the current of history and the current
of commerce—current* of God's direction
as much as the course ot the snn itself in
the heavens. It is true that commercial
necessity led the children of Israel into
Egypt, but God’s purpose was subserved by
that necessity.
“Westward the course of empire takes
its wav” is true commercially and his
torically, and the coming of this great
memorial stone to our shores shows the
current of the world’s progress as clearly
as a piece of driftwood shows the cur
rents of the sea or the direction of the
tide. There is reason to believe that di
vine Plato looked on this stone, for lie
was a student at Heliopolis. It is briefly
passible that even Christ has looked on it,
for near by the temple where it stood runs
the caravan road by which Joseph and
Mary traveled into Egypt. Let us nope
that this great stone once consecrated to
the glory of the natural sun may stand
among us a witness to the glory of the
Son of Uighteousnes.”
Anecdotes of Enwin Forrest
I received a letter from him fat Cleve
land) postmarked at St. Louis informing
me that he was ready tofulfili his promise
made two years previous, upon the con
clusion of ills St. Louis engagement. Of
course I was delighted, and immediately
replied; and as lie hadn’t staled bow
many nights he would remain with me, I
asked that question. This, be it_ remem
bered, was in December, of 1857, and a
very cold December at iliat. Ills answer
was characteristic, and was as follows:
“My Dear Ei.lsleb : You ask how
long I will remain with you. If the
weather is warm, ten nights; if it is cold,
ten minutes. Envnx Forrest.”
He came, however, and after wo hajl
settled all the details pertaining to busi
ness matters he asked me if I was a good
pedestrian. I answered that I liked to
lake a walk occasionally, and ho then In
formed me that he liked to take a long
walk every morning before breakfast, and
made it a habit, and asked me to accom
pany him. 1 consented, and the next
morning we started at 7 o clock to walk
out Euclid avenue. I wanted tosbow him
the town, as lie had never been there be
fore. Well, we walked and walked; I
was nearly perished with cold, and won
dered whether or not Forrest was ever go
ing to stop. Finally he asked mei where
we could get breakfast. I said that we
were near Jimmy Wright’s place, four
miles from town, and could get a nice
breakfast there. To my disgiut be said
we had not walked far enough, and asked
where we coaid gel breakfast far-
tlier on. 1 said the next place
was McElrath’s, seven miles' out.
“Oh, well,” said -Jjg
walk out there,” and we did, and badour
breakfast and walked back again. I he
same thing occurred for the next three or
four mornings, and tlien Forrest wanted
to take a now route. That was a terribly
cold morning, and we went up along the
Jake shore. Fonest wore a big light-col
ored overcoat, and Iliad only a short
coat and, comparatively, was thinly c ad.
Along the ahore tliere Is a point that Juts
out into the lake, and out on the point
where the icy winds were keenest went
Forrest. I of eourse lmd to do likewise,
though much against my *J*“®*~®J*
Forrest stood on the extreme point look
ing out over the dreary waste of water;
the violence of the wind had lashed the
bosom of Lake Erie Into foam and break
ers dashed in continually with a sullen
and angry roar, the whole making a seen,
at once desolate and grand.
The sharp wind seemed to go through
me, but Forrest’s attention seemed to be
riveted on the lake. He stood thus In
silence for a long time—it seemed •**
to me—and then he turned suddenly to
me and said: . _
“Ellsierl” “Well, sir.” .
“Are there ary infidels In this d d
town?” *
The question was sudden and unex
pected. Fcrrest was serious, and by me
expression of his face I knew It. For a
moment I hardly knew what to answer,
but finally I replied:
“I don’t know, but I suppose there are/
There was another tyngsMeMe. W»rreat,
with a grave face, was again looking out
over the mad waters, and apparently had
forgotten he bad spoken to me. My curi
osity to know what was in his thoughts
was aroused, and after a time I asked:
“Why do you want to know?”
“Because,” said Forrest, slowly and sol
emnly, “if there are any infidels let them
come here and look upon this magnificent
element, and then let them go home and
pray.” No more was said, and we con
tinued onr walk.
I remember of one incident during that
engagement that will show wliat For
rest thought of one of his plays. One day
he was sitting in the box oflice and the
prevailing question was: “When is Mr.
Forrest going to play ‘Metamora?’” For
rest heard theso questions, and every time
he did so he gave vent to an expression of
disgust. At last lie said: “It seems to me
that the people at large have an idea that
I can play nothing but ‘Met-a-mora’ (the
last word growled out savagely), I utterly
despise the d—n play. So much to that a
dislike lias grown up within me for the
man who wrote it; but, as tire people like
it, for God’s sako put it on and let’s get
it over!”—Manager John Ellstcrinthe

Agricultural Department on the
Crop,.
Washington, November 15.—The fol
lowing statement of the condition of the
cotton, wheat and oat crops is issued to
day by the Department of Agriculture:
Reports from he cotton belt are moro
favorable this month than last in the
States of North and Soutii Carolina, Geor
gia and Florida. The weather has been
good, and the prospects are for an increase
in the product of from 7 to 15 per cent.
In Alabama aud ail the States bordering
on the Mississippi river there is reported
too much rain and damage from rot and
boll worm, indicating a decrease in
product siuco last year. In Texas the
weather has been generally favorable, and
the crop promises an increase of 18 to 20
per cent. The principal complaint there
is a scarcity of labor. Frosts are generally
reported, but, except in a few localities,
the damage lias been slight. The area
planted iu cotton, as reported to this de
partment last spring, was 7 per cent, more
than last year.
The wheat returns of November 1st
show an increase in the wiieat crop in the
United States of 31,000,000 bushels since
1870. The yield per acre is somewhat
less, but the increase in area sown more
than counterbalance, the loss of yield.
In the States of Minnesota and California
the yield per acre, as well as the acreage,
show an increase.
The oat crop of 1880 shows a slight de
cline as compared with tho crop of lt-79.
The area sown was 1 per cent, mire than
the previous year, but the yield p.sr acre
is less. In the North Atlantic States the
out-turn is belter than lost year, hut iu all
the States south of Delaware tliere is a
great decline. In Kansas and Nebraska
the crop wa3 very poor. In Iowa and
Minnesota tho crop is very good, and
about an average in the other Western
States.
A Thoughtless Child.
The erratic Dr. Talmage may bo guilty
of many indiscretions, but the following
is not one of them:
There are many parents who are sacri
ficing their children with wrong systems
of discipline—too great rigor or too great
leniency. There are children in families
who rule the household. They come to
be the authority. SThe higli chair in which
the infant sits is the throne, and the rat
tle is the sceptre, anil the oilier children
make up the parliament, where father and
mother have no vote. Such children come
tip to be miscreants. Tliere is no chance
in tills world for a child that lias never
learned to mind. Such people become the
botheration of the church of God and the
pest of the world. Children that
do not learn to obey human au
thority are unwilling to learn to
obey divine authority. Children will not
respect parents whose authority they do
not respect. Who are those young men
that swagger through the streets with
their thumbs in their vests, talking about
their father as “the old man,” “the Gov
ernor,” “the ’squire,” “the old chap,” or
their mother as “the old woman ?” They
are those who in childhood never learned
to respect authority. Eli, having learned
that ills sows were wicked, fell over back
wards and brdke his neck and died. Well
lie might. What is life to a Tatlier whose
sons are debauched? The dust of the val
ley is pleasant to his taste, and the driv
ing rains that drip through the roof of the
sepulchre are sweeter than the wines of
Heibon. There must be harmony be
tween tho father's government and the
mother’s government. The • mother
will be tempted to too great
leniency. Her tenderness will over
come her. Her voice is a little softer, her
hand seems better fit to pull out a thorn
and soothe a pang. Children, wanting
anything from the mother cry for iu They
hope to dissolve her with tears..‘.But tlic
mother must not interfere,* must not coax
off, must not beg for the child when the
hour comes for tlie sssertion of parental
supremacy and the subjugation of the
child’s temper. There comes in the his-
tojy ot every child an hour when it is
tested, whether the parents shall rule or
the child shall rule. That is the critical
hour. If the child triumph in that hour,
then ho will some day make yen crouch.
It is a horrible scene. I have witnessed
it. A mother come to old age, shivering
with terror in the presence of a son who
cursed her gray hairs, and mocked her
wrinkled face, and begrudged her the
crust she munched with her toothless
3 How sharper than a terpoht’s tooth it is
To have a thankless child!
The Radical Party.
The Republican party has, notwith
standing its assurances to the contrary,
stood on nearly every ground it so stoutly,
condemns, and if tliere ever was a base,
political hypocrite in the world, tills very
party of boosted moral ideas is tho party
that has disowned itself oftenest and most
Mibiusbingly. Beginning in its first
Chicago platform with the declaration
that might makes right is the maxim of
the foot-pad, it yet has inaugurated most
effectually the rule of might over right
wherever it has laid its hand. So, now,
proclaiming hostility to the Grcor.back
policy,it was the party that inaugurated the
greenback idf a and packed the Supreme
court to impose tho rag-baby on the land
which it now so much affects to despise.
Again, the party that is so much scaudal-
ized at the doctrine of State Bights, aud
so much abominates State sovereignty, is
the very party that could not inquire be
hind a certificate of a Steto to expose a
gross fraud of which the Republicans
would take advantage. But tbe Repub
lican party is a demoralisation and notan
example. It, bqwever, lias one virtue.
It has pluck with every new occasion. It
it coes back on its own teachings or lies
out of a situation, it goes the wholo bog
either in tergiversation or lying. IIt is as
brave as it is brazen.—Columbia Register.
The Count de Cbarabord is about to

LIFE IN GEORGIA.
Tbe Trlali and Christian Patience of
a Country Parson—The Hard Line*
of n Junior Preacher—Worldly Com
fort* for the Flock, bnt Not for the
Shepherd.
New York Tribune.
In one of the larger towns of middle
Georgia there lives a good man who for
fifty years has borne the hardships and
known the fatigues of an itinerant preach-
e, and Is still at work for his Master,
though he seems like a relic of a long-past
day. A tall, thin, brown-skinned old
man is the Rev. Leonidas R., with blue,
deep-sunken eyes and white hair and
board. He is careless in dress, and his
coat and trousers are both decidedly too
short, and from bis vest some of tbe but
tons are missing. He is deaf, and when
answering a question does it slowly and
hesitatingly, as if he were still listening
to catch the words which have been ad
dressed to him. But when he begins to
narrate an experience his speech is leady
and full of queer, dry wit. It being said
recently that bis parsonage this year was
poorly provided witli many necessaries,
especially bed and table linen, some of
tbe “sisters” in the church graciously
sent him some of their own, choosing
the old and tbe worn. One table-cloth
was spread out before tlie venerable cud;
it was full of holes. He looked at it with
out a trace of anger in his trembling eye.
“Well, now, they came pretty near being
too late sending me that table-cloth, didn’t
they?” iie said, musingly.
The parsonage furnished by his circuit
of tour churches to their preacher, who
has a wife and child living with him, is a
queer little wooden structure, one story
high at one end aud two stories high at
tbe oilier, the roof including upward, and
the lower room of tbe two-story end be
ing two or three steps lower than tlie oth
er. When ho caruo to it from his last
year’s station, a week or two in advance
of liis wife, for whom tlie good man wish
ed to prepare what comfort he could,
there were neither shutters, shades nor
curtains to tho small, many-paned win
dows; not a carpet on ttie floors; no crock
ery but broken fragments of two or three
niuclt-abused sets of stoneware; a great
lack of household linen, aud only the
wreck of poor furniture throughout the
house. This seems incredible shabbiness
in a comparatively wealthy country neigh
borhood wbicli pays several hundred dol
lars salary; but most of tlie people live in
tlie plainest style themselves, even though
they may be rich.
The people mean well enough. It being
declared hr some ladies of the Methodist
Church in town who had a preacher and
a parsonage of their own that somo of
Mr. It’s people ought at least to see to it
that there was enough china to set a tablo
before his wife should come, “one dollar
for crockery" wa, promptly sent in! The
ladies who were bestirring themselves for
tlie neglected brother took this magnifi
cent sum and went forth to purchase.
When they saw Brother It. again the
old man was looking at the dishes witli a
curious expression. Tliere were six china
plates and some vegetable dishes.
“If you can tiny as much china as that
for one dollar,” lie said, with a twinkle in
his eye. “I’ll get you to go shopping for
me again. Much obliged to you for mak
ing that dollar go so far.” And they knew
that tlieir small contributions were appre
ciated.
They went to work and swept aud dust
ed ids house, made up the beds so far as
tlie sheets would go, made and tacked up
some curtains fashioned, of sheets, parts
of which were past service, and assisted
in getting up some shades of green cam
bric, running a lath through the lower
end, aud tacking up with them a piece of
green tape which tied them in place when
they were rolled up. Tlie windows being
decently screened, they washed all tlie
all the pieces of glass and china which
could be used, aud when the wife came
had a hot supper for her.
There were two tumbie-down outbuild
ings iu the parsonage yard, witli weather-
boarding torn away in places, and ntterly
dilapidated. Tlie preacher simply asked
permission to take these two houses down,
one of them being intended for a servam’s
room and one for a kitchen, so that he
might himself fashion one weather-proof
building of the two. Permission for this
was refused! The good man showed
no wrath, but observed, with a dry little
smile:
“Well, now, when my wife comes sho
isn’t going to stand this sort of thing. They
had better let me get it ready for her, be
cause site is going to have things right
when she comes!”
Whether this was a powerful intim
idation or no, tlie permission was finally
accorded. _
Fifty years ago when Mr. R. entered
be ministry South and North Carolina
were in one conference and Georgia and
Alabama had just been separated into a
contereece of their own. His first ap
pointment was as a junior preacher on a
circuit in tlie shape of a figure 8, tlie par
sonage being at the centre of tlie figure
where the lines cross. Tlie eircuit was
about 300 mijes round. Tlie parsonage
was a onc-roomed house, 12x0, with a
loft in which he slept when he was not,
away on his work; the loft was reached
by a ladder. They cut their own wood
and did their own work, for in those days
nobody thought of waiting on ministers.
It was fashionable for a man to have
gathers in his coat sleeves. Now, in tlie
upper part of the circuit they liked tho
minister to dress, aud ho had a suit made
especially to wear tliere. But in the
lower part they would by no meau3 toler
ate such vauilies in tho minister, how
ever much they might like it in them
selves; so when he went dowu there he
always stopped at the parsonage, and put
on a east-off suit of homespun that some
body had given him, and the pcoplo were
greatly edified.
There is no reckoning tho hardships
this man lias undergone. Iu traveling
about he would stop at tlie houses of the
different members to eat and sleep. Di
rectly utter supper be always lmd prayers,
and went to his room and studied until 10
o’clock. Then lie went to bed, and got
up a*rain at 4 in tlie morning, summer aud
winter, and studied till 0, a*, about wnich
time they usually bad breakfast. Then
be went down stairs, warmed himself by
tho fire if the weather were cold, ate
breakfast, had prayeix, and was off. Then
he rode along on his horse, Ins clothes in
his saddle-bags and a book In his hand.
On those rare occasions when lie rested
and stayed a. whole day at a house, he
only came ontofliis room to meals; but
stayed by liimselt in heat or cold—they
never thought of giving a junior preacher
a Are—and studied or read. The people
were always fond of talking to the minis
ter, but his head was full of his work aud
ho had no time for gossip. He tells an
amusing story about two girls who
were, determined to make him talk;
but he had resolved to have no idle talk
with women, and escaped to his room
every time they tied to engage In conver
sation.} Finally, one day they came to his
room on some pretext or other. He heard
them coming, and as soon as they got in
side the door he closed his book and said
“Let us pray.” Thereupon lie fell upon
his knees aud gave the girls a specimen of
his long petitions, which exorcised them,
for they aroso and fled as soon as he
closed his prayer, and never troubled him
^Perhaps one reason lor his avoidance of
woineu was his fear of falling in love. In
those days when a man entered the con
ference it was an understood thing that ho
would not marry for four years, and even
after that time bad elapsed, if any of tlie
older ones caught tbe young brethren pay
ing attentions to women they reported it
to the conference, and the offenders were
hauled over tbe coals for “going courting.”
These were the days when a certain mi .-
ister was turned out of the church because
he was so worldly-minded as to wear sus
penders, and when another was taken to
task because bis wife had spent seven dol
lars on a silk dress.
They objected to tbe marriage of the
preachers partly because wives were sup
posed, both before and after marriage, to
draw them off from things heavenly, and
partly because the church was too poor
to support married men, and most of them
—all of them, with two or three excep
tions in favor of their most distinguished
men—“located” when they married, and
went to work at something to support
their families.
A great deal of manual labor fell to the
lot of these manly, sturdy evangelists.
At camp meetings, while a junior preacher,
Mr. B. was expected to groom and feed
the horses of the senior preachers who
came, notwithstanding the fact that eve
rybody in the congregation brought
slaves with him to look after the
horses, and the darkeys had
plenty of leisure. And ono windy night
when the candles all blew out—there
were no lamps—he bad to stand through
the whole service—reading, preaching,
praying, singing, and exhorting tho
mourners—holding aloft a ligbtwood torch
beside the officiating minister. Nobody
thought of taking his placo or of sending
one of the couple of hundred slaves who
lingered at the eege of tbe crowd to relieve
him.
Champion Boat Race.
London, November 15.—Haitian won.
Ilanlan took the lead at Hammersmith
bridge, bolding it easily to the finish. The
weather was favorable.
Tlie race was a mere procession from
the start to the finish. Ilanlan rowed in
splendid fonu. He stopped several times,
allowing Trickett to cumc up. Tremen
dous crowds of people witnessed tlie race.
The river wa3 perfectly still.
Later.—This morning Trickett wa3
again the favorite in the betting, five to
four being taken on him, and laid to the
extent of one thousand pounds. Passing
under Hammersmith bridge Hanlan was
leading by a clear length aud going well
within himself. Before the start Ilanlan
had taken tlie first place in the betting.
Seven to fouron him was offered freely,
aud some wagers of two to one were,
made. The weather was dull aud misty
and tbe air chilly.
The start occurred at 12.14 o’clock, at
which time the tide was nearly full, and
the water was slack and smooth through
out. Ilanlan had tlie Surry side of the
river. A very even start was effected,
Ilanlan striking the water at the rate of
thirty-five strokes to tlie minute, aud
Trickett at the rate of forty-one. Han-
lan rowed easily and in perfect style,
showing bis superiority from tlie first
stroke. Crabtree was passed in six min.

A Sketch *1 the Ymmmg Tmrilu’i
Career—What He Sajr* A boat HI*
Veatarwa* a Star,.
A, Louie Times Oct. 11.
The appearance of a new star in the
theatrical firmament attracts vastly more
attention than it did a flew years ago,
and the eyes of the public are turned
eagerly towards tbe new aspirant for favor,
r^ady to condemn or praise, as the merits
of the case seem to warrant. While there
have been instances where actors or ac
tresses of mediocre talent have been
f"’-eed into fame, as it were, by the liberal
Atpendlture of money, tbe rule is that this
fame is but ephemera], and that those who
■“in a permanent and really exalted posl-
d.-*-' iu public favor, must win it by tbeir
i. ? .'rits alone. Hence it is no small un
to# taking •rtnr to present himself
a/, a star without ha viug tua zuoat perfect
confidence that the public verdict will be
hi* his favor.
Tbe latest aspirant for stellar honors is
MR. THOMAS W. KEENE,
who began his first star engagement in St.
Louis at the Grand Opera House last
night. Knowing tbe general interest
manifested by the public in a case of this
kind, a Times reporter called upon Mr.
Keeno at the Laclede Hotel yesterday, to
obtain a few points of information regard
ing bis personal history, wbicli might be
of interest to those who are to sit iu judg
ment during tho week regarding tho va
lidity of Ids claims as a tragic star. Mr.
Keene, who is a man of about medium
height, with black, flowing, curly hair, an
open, pleasaut face aud a pair of black
eyes that fairly speak with an intensity of
expression, was found ready and willing
*to impart all the information that was
within bis power to give. From a run
ning conversation the following points
were gamed:
Mr. Keene was bom in New York on
the 2(1th of October, 1S12, and bence will
be 38 years of age on tlie 20tli inst. His
father was ajournallst, and was connected
with the Courier and Enquirer when that
paper was underthe editorial management
of James Watson Webb, and was after
wards an attache of the'New Orleans Bee.
At an early age Mr. Keene evinced, pre
dilection for Inc stage, aud was a promi
nent member of an amateur theatrical
company. He made his first appearance
on tlie regular stage in 1805, at the old
Bowery theater, New York, under the
management of tiie late John Brougham,
on tlie occasion of the production of the
“Guuraaker of Moscow,” a3 a supernu
merary. Although liis position was not
an exalted one, ii seemed, in a manner, to
assuage liis longing for stage life, and he
remained in the ranks for several weeks
when he was given
In March, 18(15, he went to Albany and
joined tho stock company of the Academy,
under Hackett’s management. He
evinced such marked dramatic ability
that he soon won a prominent position
among the melodramatic actors of that
time. In 1871 be went to England where
he played eleven months with unvarying
success and then returned to New York,
where be became tlie leading man in the
utes and four seconds from the starting.
K ints. Here Trickett began to labor and,’-'-stock company of Wood’s museum. Ho
>k ill, and by tlie lime tlie eoap works • afterward went to San. Francisco, where
were reached, tlie race was absolutely lie remained five years, and where ho
first gave his attention to the earnest
Occasionally Hanlau stopped rowing un
til Trickett came up, when a few power
ful strokes would send him ahead again.
Between Hammersmith bridge and Chis
wick, Ilanlan lay down twice. He stop
ped entirely once ami again paddled along,
first witli one scull and then witli tlie
otiier. He leaned over to wash his face
study of Shakespearean characters. Here
lie played under McCullough’s manage
ment, and frequently supported Booth
and Barrett. The latter, discerning in
him tlie elements of a great actor, advised
him to go to Australia, perfect himself in
several of the leading Shakespearean
roles, and then return to tlie United States’

He was inucb distressed at tbe finish,

London, November 15.—Tlie murder
of Wheeler is supposed to be an act of
private vengeance. No arrests have been
made, but tlie police are watching a man
who was with Wheeler when ho was
assassinated.
^London, November 15.—Fuller reports
of the race between Haulou and Trhkett
to-day, say there was a noticeable con
trast'at the start between the two men.
Trickett looked care-worn and almost
haggard, with an expression of determina
tion on his face, while Hanlon had a care
less, rollicking demeanor, as if he did not
feel tlie slightest anxiety about anything.
At tbe very moment when ha got under
headway he# was apparently engaged in
criticizing liis rival. He took the water
with a powerful dashing stroke of 35 to
Trickett’s 41, and gained a perceptible
lead iu tbe first twenty strokes.
At the bottom of tlie concrete wall ho
wo3 rowing a stroke of thirty-six to
Trickett’s thirty-eight. Here, the specta
tors had a fair exhibition of the grand
pace which Uanlan can take when he
chooses. His boat fairly flew through
the water aud before tbe fact could bo
realized be bad shot three lengths
ahead. Harry Keller, Trickett’s trainer,
became uneasy and called on his mau for
a spurt. Trickett responded gallantly,
and at Waideu’s wharf bad reduced Han
lon’s lead about a length. Trickett then
cased up a little, and Hanlon again forged
ahead, taking and keeping a lead of two
or three lengths, wliicii be did not seem to
care to increase. At tbe soap works,
Uanlan allowed that ho thought
lie liad any easy task by rowing in a
literally lazy style. He braced up again,
however, in a moment, and rowed right
away from his competitor. At Ruffins’
boat-house, where ho had gained a good
lead, lie treated tho spectators to a repeti
tion, of tlie remarkable manccuvera which
so astonished the people '.who saw him
row with nawdou oil tho Tyne. He
stopped rowing, leaned back in his boat
and took a leisurely survey of
the scenery, rowed thirty yards-or so, and
stopped again, and finally indulged in a
piece of harlequinade never before seen in
a boat race, i /Dropping liis sculls clumsily
into the water, he fell forward on liis face
and lay there for a second or two, until
something like a groan burst from the ex
cited spectators on shore, who thought
something terrible liad happen
ed. Ilanlan then sprang up,
laughed merrily aud wcut to work
again, Trickett having in tho meantime
approached to within two lengths. The
latter had evidently done his best. His
face liad a leaden hue, and be looked ex
hausted, but no 'one could accuse him of
having neglected liis work for an Instant.
There was, however, a painful lack of
power in liis rowing. Ilanlan alternately
rowed and stopped to look at the scenery,
and was generally as full of antics as a
clown.
Beyond Cheswick Church Elliott rowed
up beside Uanlan and they wont oil to-
gether engaged in animated conversation.
Shortly afterward Hanlan again stopped,
pretended to drink, wet bis head and lan
guidly palled on. He passed under Barnes
bridge, waving his handkerchief to tbe
crowd, in 21 minutes and 40 seconds;
Trickett, utterly jaded, passed 9 seconds
later. Acannon shot announced the are
rival of Hanlan at the winning post iu 26
minutes and 12 seconds. Trickett’s time
was 26 minutes and 29 seconds.
Toronto, November 15.—Great excite
ment prevailed here to-day on account of
tlie news that Hanlan had defeated Trick
ett. Crowds, wild with excitement, sur
rounded tbe newspaper and telegraph of
fices. The Governor-general, lieutenant-
governor and other high dignataries sent
Hanlon congratulatory messages.
His first appearance in St. Louis was in
1878 at the Olympic Theatre, with Kira!-
fy’s “Trip to the Moon” company, in
which he played one of the leading bur
lesque characters. In the early part ot
tlie present year lie appeared at Pope’s
theatre as Coupoau in Charlcs^Reado’s fa
mous drama “Drink," and five week’s la
ter at tho Grand Opera House in the dual
role of Joe Burton and Sir Lionel Ravens-
wood in tlie “Two Mothers.” In tile lat
ter characters he evinced a dramatic force
and expression that completely aston-
tshed those who had seen him only in
burlesque, and it was unhesitating
ly predicted that ho was des-
tined to become one of America's greatest
actors. Numerous members of the tiieat
rical profession who had watched his ca
reer, and who discerned in him rare at
tainments, wondered why he consented to
remain in tho ranks when there was such
a brilliant prospect for liim in the higher
walks of the profession. When, .there
fore, it was announced that he was about
to appear as a star, and that his business
was in tiie hands of so efficient a mana
ger as Win. R. Hayden, there was an al
most universal prediction that bis success

Gen. Sherman’s Report.
Washington, November 15. —Genoral
Sherman has submitted bis annual report
to tbe secretary of war. He agrqes with
General Sheridan that tho atiny is too
small tofulfili tbe heavy duties now fm-
jioseil upon it. It is over-worked. For
these reasons General Sherman renews
his recommendation of last year that Con
gress bo asked to givo- 25,000 enlisted
men specifically to tlie troops of
tbe line, and make separate pro
vision for detachments of ordnance
men, engineers, hospital stewards
commissary sergeants, West Point detach
ments, detailed clerks, etc., in tbe same
manner as bas already been dono lor tbe
signal corps. Tlie revised statutes limit
tlie strength of tlie army to not more than
30,000 available men, but subsequent pro
visions havo limited tiie expenditures to
$25,000. The end’desired can thus be
readied by simply omitting tho provision
in the next appropriation bill. , . i,t
He says:‘“We havo fifty millions:of
people, and the idea of aiiy hostile force
landing on our coast is simply ’preposter
ous; yet. our great commercial ports
should bo made so safe that not even tlie
apprehension of danger would bo felt#
Portland, Boston, Newport, New ; Yorki
Philadelphia, Hampton Roads, Port Roy
al, Key West, Pensacola,' San Diego, San
Francisco and Port Townsend should all
be properly fortified and garrisoned. All
interior forts should be sold or abandoned.
An annual appropriation of a million
Of dollars would, in tea years, put these
forts in good order, and another million
a year would properly arm them, and tlie
Secretary of War and the President
should liavo discretion as to
their disbursement. Artillery officers
should also be associated with
engineers , in constructing, altering
and repairing our sea forts, because the
men who .have to figlit tbeir batteries
should haVe something to do with tlieir
construction. Both West Point and the ar
tillery school at Fortress Monroe are iu as
good order as possible. Education must
always be the surest basis of security and
honor. Tbe education and manly train
ing imparted to young men at West Point
bas repaid tbe United States thousands of
times its cost, and bas more than verified
the predictions of General Washington.
Reference is made to tlie Whittaker
case. A thorough investigation in the
midst of tumult and abuse, resulted
in tlie perfect vindication of tlie authori
ties ot the academy. The coips of cadets
is a youthful counterpart ot our national
House of Representatives. Prejudice is
alleged against colored cadets. Prej
udice of race Is a most difficult thing to
contend against. There is no more such
prejudice at West Poiut than in any com
munity at large, and the practice of equal
ity at West Poiut is in advance oi tbe rest
of the country. To discriminate iu favor
of a colored cadet by reason of bis color,
is as much a violation of tlie 14th amend
ment as to discriminate against him. Tlie
officers of the military academy have en
deavored to be impartial.
General Sherman says that in his opin
ion tbe requirement that all enlisted men
of the Seventh and Tenth Cavalry and of
the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth In
fantry shall be colored men, while the of
ficers are white, is not consistent with the
amendment referred to. All men should
be enlisted ifho are qualified, aud should
be assigned to regiment! regardless of
color or previous condition. Such has
been the Jaw aud usage in the nary for
years, and tho army would soon grow ac
customed to it.
The usefulness of the artillery school at
Fortress Monroe is spoken of highly. Gen.
Sherman desires to establish a similar
school for infantry and cavalry at Fort
Leaveuworth as soon as the condition of
Indian affairs will permit.
London, NoveiiiuCr 15.—A meeting of
five thousand persons was held at SOSS**
enrose, near Walsbtown, yesterday for the
purpose of “Boy c suing” thirteen landlords
and land agents in the neighborhood.
James O’Brien (Irish-American) in the
course of a speech said that if “Boycot

forming them, the people would resort to
stronger measures and try if leaden pills
would suit their digestion. The first duty
of every Irishman, he said, was to get a
nfie and tbe second duty was to use it.
He added that there were five hundred
thousand stout men in America who
would die happy it they could kill one
cursed Saxon each.

a pastime in which it is worth while to
excel? Though many persona are de
barred by occupation from devoting to It
of Representatives, upon tbe pending Sen
atorial contest. We find in tbe Contlilu-
tion tbe following synopsis of his speech.
.The ex-Senator Mid:
Two Views.
The first is from the Xewnan Herald,
and it is wise:
Another result of our party reverses is
demoralization among the leaders. At
these times are sure to rise such men as
Mr. Hill, unstable as water, advocating
the disruption of old parties, and tbe re
forming of new lines. All such projects
are unde-irable aud impracticable. Tbe
Democratic party is the true representa
tive of the pernio—especially of the South
ern poeple. None other can take its place.
The Republican party iu high places of
trust is hold firmly together by the adhe
sive power of public spoils; and 1 we re tbe
sheerest folly to speak of disrupting it
now. Mr. Hill’s Utopian dream will
not and cannot be realized, and we are
glad of It.
Wo propose that tho grand old Demo
cratic party fight it out on this line. In
God’s own good time the right will tri
umph, and a despised, slandered, spit-
tipou people will be courted and flatter
ed because of their power and influ
ence.
The second is taken from tbe Monte
zuma Weekly aud is “otherwise:”
Our neighbor, the Sumter Republican,
h as kicked out of traces, and will, here
after go it alone, unhampered by cliques,
rings, ringmasters, etc. Brother Hancock
lias made an advance toward tbo position
that all newspapers should occupy. Every
newspaper should be absolutely untram-
melcd iu its politics. A strictly Bourbon
Democratic newspaper, controlled by tho
politicians of that party, can no more do
justice to its readers than Bob Ingcrsoil
can render efficient service to’ the
cause of Christianity. Tbe same
can be truthfully said of tbe
radical Republican newspapers of
tbe country. Every newspapersUould oc
cupy a position that will enable it to
“render unto Caesar that which belongs to
Cicsar.” If Garfield makes us a good
President, let all newspaperdom say so.
If he is a failure, let the truth be told
about lnm. If a few men gather at the
court house and nominate Mr. Timothy
Timpkins for representative, when it is
well known that Timpkins is not the
choice of tbe majority, let the newspapers
say so, and help elect the man the people
do want, no matter whether the ring
masters are pleased or not. The people
arc becoming weary of the “cut and dried”
way of doing things in this country. A
mau can be a Democrat without being
compelled to wear a heavy yoke, and never
moving to the right or left until he is com
manded by tbe “gee” and “haw” of a few
self-con:dituted leaders?”
Which Is the “Top’’ of the Round ?
“Thore,” said Mr. .Familiman, slapping
his hand on to a juicy looking round, “cut
me off a couple of pounds right off the top
—just as good as rump, or sirloin either,
as 1 tell Mrs. F.—just as good, every

proof thereof shows the carver ornament

in his eye and that carver in his fist,

Transcript. •'! <
The British government is determined
that Capt. Boycott’s potatoes shall be dug
up and housed if it .takes tbo utmost re
sources of the British empire to do it, and
and tho potato-digging expedition is
probably engaged to-day in military -oper
ations against tl)0 cheap and mitritous
tuber. The force which was considered
necessary, for an ordinary potato patch
consisted of a hundred volunteers armed
with spades and revolvers, two compa
nies of dragoons, two of hussars, two
pieces of artillery, and a couple of
hundred of policemen, who doubtless
sang tbe appropriate chorus from
tbe rirates of Penzance, relating to the
unhappiness of their lot when constabu
lary .duty’s to be done. In addition to
this, tiie Channel fleet has been sent to
tlie west coast oflrcland with instructions
to bombard any potato seen escaping from
the blockade. This is no doubt effective*
but it would have been cheaper to have
paid Captain Boycott for his potatoes, as
we refuse to believe that a similar arma
ment can be sent to the relief of every po
tato patch that is neglected by the Land
League; but tbe propensity of John Bull
to lose his bead on small' provocation is
probably ineradicable.
