Mr.. John L. Stephens has gone on his last
journey He died at his fathers residence in
New York, on Tuesday, the 18th inst. His books
of travel, in the East and in Central America,
have justly earned for him the reputation Of one
of the NEST intelligent observers, and delightful
writer's in the language, aud they are as popular
in England as they are at home. The profits Of
his publications have been scarcely surp assed by
any other American writings. Mr.. Stephens was
forty-seven years Of age. He was tho son Of
Benjamin Stephens, esq, q wealthy merchant,
now nearly S0yeas Of age. Mr.. Stephens himself
had accumulated large fortune, deriy ed partly
from his works, but mainly from variors success
full enterprises in which he had eng aged. He
was President Of the Panama Railroad Company,
and his death was caused by q fever contracted
on the Isthmus during late visit He will be
nourned by many personal friends, and by the
country at large as one of her most eminent citi.

Elections.

Once upon time there was contest in Mary

Thomas, Loco, was elected. The Locos there
upon went into the Presidential election rejoicing,
and aoere defeated most signally by Gen. Harrson
Then, again, Loco governor was elected in
like manner, and the Locos went into the Presi-
dental election rejoicing, and were defeated By
Gen. Taylor.
1t is bad for the Locos, when they 20 int the

bill. When johnson was elected governor, we
lost everything else, only electng him by the

An Amorican Colonel.

The following, from the New York Express,
is not entirely new to us:
"Mr. Polk had conferred the Office OF colonel
apon Q small-beer Democratic politicisAyn The
-fedged colonel, with his cap and feathers,
reported himself to the General, who politely in
vited him to dine with number of distinguished
gentlemen. The Colonel was a. vain as Gene
raj -, and well nigh as silly. During the pro-
gress of the dinner, he Aippantly remsrked to the
General, General. they say the churches in Mex
leo are full Of gold and silver Jesnses; we will
have fine times when we get among themP The
General was shocked and Disguised at the sacri-
legious suggestion, but out Of pity for its author
assumed not to have heard him, and continued
to converse on other topics The Colonel pres
emily repeated the remark, when tho General,
drawing himself up, and looking the other di-
rectly in the face, said, slowly and firmly, Col
onel If any soldier or officer Of my command,
while in Mexico, shall enter any church except
to say his prayers, or other justifable purpose,
he shall be punished; and il any shall presume
to touch the sacred emblems belonging to Gods
altar, as you propose, he shall be hungP There
was silence at the table for little space; the
Coloneps face was redder than his feather, and
just at the moment he would have been happier
in his citizens dress, talking politics in bar.

senator Hunter, of yirgir


The following is extracted from speech by
this gentleman:
"With these views sirs, cannot sustain Gen.
SCOTS pretensions to the Presidency. But il is
in that capacity only that oppose him. AS
man of honor and probity, he has my entire re-
spect; as military man my high admiration
have no purpose to be served by warfare
upon the just reputation Of any man, nor shall |
ever engage in it.
"0fall human possessions, the most sacred in
my eyes is mans title to good name when Il
is fairly won. II would often be better to kill
him than to sully the name upon whose spotless
purity depend in his character the charm and the
grace of life itself What days of toll and sleep
less nights may it not have cost him, what sacr-
fees and difficulties may he not have encountered,
how much Of pain that wrings the brow, and Of
care that aches the heart, may he not have en-
dured to earn that reputation Il sometimes
costs human life to pluck the immortal flower
that springs from out the monumental stem.
Reckless indeed must be the hand which would
leftover that stem, and cast its leaves away upon
the winds Of heaven. My hand at least shall
never be raised for such q purpose. Ny object

The movements Of the Irish population from
their native land to other countries is said To be
going on at an increased rate. The Clare Jour
nal thus mourns over the exodus Of the people
aAll parties among US are seemingly turning
their faces TO the far West-the home beyond the
deep. Old, middle aged, and young, are on the
move, leaving the old country, where there seems
to be no hope, for the young where hope is bud
ding with the certainty, in their imagination, of
bearing good fruit 1t is really distressing to
contemplate the changes that few years will
effect in old Ireland If the desire for leaving that
now agtstes the people shall continue, Before
this period of the year until the present, all idea
Of leaving for America was deferred until "spring
returned again" The season for emigration
closed Mt the beginning Of our harvest, and the
people never thought Of facing the wintry blast
before the coming spring; but now spring, sum
mer and autumn are alike. The streets are daily
crowded by families on the move. It.seems to
them as if they had only to travel hundred
miles, instead Of thousands. And why is this!
There is now one great inducement in addition
TO that which before induced them, and that is,
their people are there before them. The old-re-
membered faces that disappeared few months
since, IRE waiting with the blush Of hope TO as
sist them to leap ashore on the land Of their
adoption, and to sleep once more under the same
roof with son or daughter that they never hoped
to see on this side Of the grave. Thisis now o
great cause for the long continued stream Of en-
igration Yesterday, nearly the entire day, the
street was crowded with cars, waiting for fami-
lies to complete their arrangements with the en-
igration agent. They are gone, and the num-
bers are sufficient to leave blank in the parish
where they resided, that will not be easily filed.

The Armistice at Mexico.
NUMBER FOUR.
Summary.


This third link is to show that Immediately
after the receipt Of the dispatches by the Ha5a-
nero, July 26, 1916, as we have shown, Mr.. Blu
chanan Secretary of State, wrote letter to the
nanselesS minister of Foreign Relations Of The
Nezican Republic" (the words "the Ae1ican Re
pubic" as if in irony being in italics,) July 27,
1916, Offering the olive branch, and that Mr..
President Polk, August 4, 1916, asked for sum
Of monsy with which to guild that olive branch.
This was very cleverly done, as Santa Anna was
still at Havana. AS we have seen, he left that
place on August s, 1916. The proceedings on
this message in the Senate go far to show that
there was = strong impression that corruption
was going on.
We shall begin this With Mr. Buchanan's letter
Of July 81, 1876, 10 slt nanslsss minister, which
will be followed by the message OF August A.
1916, and the proceedings thereon in the Senate.

FATAL RESULT or GAnBLrNe.--The weekly
repoft Of deaths last week record one suicide.
The victim was young man, twenty-five years
of age, who returned to his home late on the
night Of the I'd instant, taking Immediately before
or after reaching his home quantity oflaudanum.
Previous to retiring he called up his mother, and
informed her what be had done, but in order to
prevent her sending for physician he assured
her that he had not taken sufficient quantity Of
laudanum to kill him. 1t was not long, however,
before the mother ascertsined that she had been
deceived. Aphysician was sent for, but the fatal
drug had done its work. Notwithstanding that
every effsrt was made to save the life of the
young man he died before morning. For about
two months previous TO his death the deceased
had been in the habit Of visiting some one Of the
many gambling housw Of this city, had become
infatuated with the game, lost large sums Of
money, and at last, in moment Of desperation,
committed the act we have Boston Post.
