G5- Some people will make Judies of themselves if
the slightest opportunity be offered and for want of
an offered opportunity they will labor very hard to
make such opportunity Mr.. John F. Champion, Brit
ish Minister at Washington, one of the class refer
red to- He has recently exhibited genius an apti-
tude natural facility for Judysm deserving of our
notice, and challenging admiration. Not content
with acting in an ungentlemanly and undplomatc
manner in regard to the attempt to enlist within the
Jurisdiction of the United States recruits for the For
eign Legion in British pay for which, if half the
facts be reliable sworn to- he ought to be driven not
only from his position of Ambassador, but from the
country ITSELF he with the most unblushing eff
fontery turns and calls the attention of the
Cabinet of Washington to some pretended movements
of some Irish Emigrant Society aiming to revoluonize
Ireland, and so on; all of which is my eye and
Elizabeth Martini These little spurts amount TO
nothing, and he knows it, and, but for his as
astonishing insolence he would know that he has no
right to say word the subject, predicaing what
he does say upon pretended discovery of pre-
tended secret circular. 1t might do very we'll for the
British Postmaster General, Sir James Graham, we
believe, to violate the sanctty OF the mails in Eng
land during the troubles in 1889, for the purpose
of finding OUT by the letters of Republican chiefs in
England to the actors the continent the plans and
expectations of the patriots, which the Right Hon.
orable" Sir James than betrayed to the banded des-
pots; but Mr. Champion must not expect the gov
eminent of the United States to allow of anything
Of the kind, or take cognizance of information SO
surreptitiously obtained.
In the last number of Household Words by
Dickens, there is article headed GA Tight Little
Isand,n the tight little Island alluded to being He
igoland, mere rock in the North Sea- forming the
apex of a triangle, of which line drawn between
the mouths of the rivers Elbe and Weser forms the
base This little spot is held by England as sort
of sentry at the door of its neighbors, the German
States, and Is used depot for recruits from these
States, although the laws of them all are drectl,
opposed to the enrolment of their citizens in any
such manner 1t is centre for illegality-for eva
sion OF the municipal laws of the Continental States
"a continued insult 10 them-a continued beacon
for all violatOrs Of their laws and policy and the
writer in Household Words" reioces over the
acueness thatplans so nice an arrangement. And vel
the agents OF En- gland, and one of the most deeply
implicated OF them, assumes to talk to the United
States. Ancient Carthage filed up her mercenary
ranks with Numidian cavalry and singers from
the Belearic Isles. The modern Carthage NAV tr,
the same thing, but the time is past when she cal
purchase mon for her shambles or neighboring ma
tons will submit to her insolence least of ali car
she expect that attention will be paid to her whining
or othciOus intermeddling. She, the great anC
avowed Vlolator of international comfy, must no
