men who have since passed away from the
earth and whose memories | revere, and
on whose graves / could she'd tears Of sor-
row and regret. All! when | look back
through the twenty-six years of my edlio
rial life, and think how many | once de-
nounced who afterwards became my per-
sonai frie nds, or proved themselves their
country's friends, and how many | once
eulogized and toled for who have since
turned their hands ruthlessl and causeless-
lv against me-when reflect how the most
ardlous and devoted political services are
forgotten by those to whom they are r n
dered, and how often the deepest political
INJURIES are masnanimously forgiven by
those to whom they are done-and when
remember how many of my political friend'
have striven to crush me, and how many
democrats have gathered around me as {
banl of brothers in the days Of my persona
peril should be guilty OF an outrage OF
my own conscience, and on every feeling

The Horses OF tiic Ailics-LOrd
Raglan &c.

A private letter from a gentleman recent
" arrived at BalakIava. dated December
29h, addressed TO gentleman IN Dublip.
contains the following:
"You remember your admlring the beai-
tiful appearance of the 11,h Hussars IN
the Pbenix Park Immediately before they
came Out here. You could not recognize
them now. The horses have hair as losg
as a goat and you could count all their
bones, at least of those that remain. II is
the same with all the cavalry, particularly
the English blood horse. The artillery
horses and the French horses don't seem
to suffer so much, but all look bad enough.
The poor brutes have no shelter night or
day from the wind or wet, and are often
badly fed. When you think Of those hor-
ses, taken such care Of at home, you will
not wonder when tell ycu the ground is
strewn with their dead bodies everywhere
you turn. have seen, while the soldiers
were riding along. one or two OF their hor-
ses fall dead. The men quietly took of
the saddles aad brides and proceeded on,
leaving the carcasses 10 rot on the road
Any of the horses that die near the Zou-
aves, are Immediately skinned and their
shoes taken of, They make coats and
roofs for their huts OF the skins. Some Of
the carcasses appear as if steaks had been
cut of them. There are two kinds OF
Zouaves herc-French and African they
are both fine looking fellows, much larger
and stronger thar the French line; they
were all very busy yesterday building stone
houses. The French have plenty of engi-
neers. Of which they say there is a great
scarcity i'll the English army. Every
where you go the officers are complaining
of Lord Raglan, that he is never seen n
mong them and knows nothing Of their
wants and sulfelings They also say very
plainly that he is no general; that all our
victories have been gained by the pluck Of
our men, but that he deserves no credit ex-
cept for personal bravery whenever .here
is fight he exposes himself rather too
much, SC. As rrle, the officers COM
plain far more than the men, but all are
anxious to be home again. A Lieutenant
colonel of an infantry regiment told me
that he would be Letter off sweeping a
crossing in London than in the command
of regiment here"

AMERICAN INDEBTEDNEss.-lt is The
ory with some that the occurrence oil fnan-
cial disasters in England or France, follow
ed by fall in the securities OF those coun'
tries, American securities would be sent
home upon us, for sale, in order to invest
the proceeds in Consols or Rentes. In re-
lation to this idea the N. Y. Economist
says:
"The amount Of stocks due by the States
of The Union was never per So, cause OF

English debt represents property once had

in these securities were not frightened by
debt of 81 per head due by the United

Shaking Hands.

Shaking of hands is the accepted manner
Of performing chow -de-do." :" "glad to see
you;" but the manner of doing this varies
so much, that with some people we have
"great shakes" and with others mo shakes
at ALL" Politicians, if they are running for
Office have the art of hand dsiIaking 10 per-
(ection. Editors have very impressive
shake for subscriber paying in advance" "
In shaking hands ladies' are generally pas
sive, for the least pressure from their little
fingers means volumes not included in the
formal and familiar ceremony. We have
been told, by those posted up" in such
matters, that The telling and eloquent shake
OF the hand, that eclIpses ali Others, comes
from principal in duel when his second
announces to him fhat the affair was ami
cably arranged" 1t would be impossible
TO give all the varied expressions that char
acterize the act Of shaking hands; but there
are a few that can be designated. which,
Hike primitive coIors, form the ground-work
of every varying shade
The pnmp-handfe shake first deserves no.
tice. 1t is performed in solemn, mechan-
ical manner. No attempt has ever been
successful to give it grace or vlvacity. AS
general rule, it should not be continued
after your friend is in profuse perspiration
from The unwonted exercise. The pendu'
ium shake is Of similar character, but it
has horizontal instead of perpendicular
motion. 1t is executed by boldly sweeping
your hand horizontally toward your acqnain-
tance, and, after the junction is effected
rowing with it from one side to The other as
lono as human nature will bear 1t. The
fourniquei shake is next in Importance. IL
derives its name from the instrument OF tor
ture by " hich surgeons stop the circulation
of the blood. The person using this style,
if he has large, powerful hand, can throw
his victims into intense agony. and even
produce dislocaion of the small bones oi
the fingers, and in delicate persons easily
sprain the wrist. The cordial shake Is per-
formed with hearty, boisterous agitation
of your friends hand. accompanied by
moderate degree Of pressure, and cheerful
exclamations of welcome. This style is in-
discriminate and very popular. The grifr-
ous touch is the opposite Of the cordial Crap
pie. 1t is principally used by hypochon-
driacs and sentimental young clersymen'
and is always accompanied by a nervous
inquiry about somebody's health. The
prnde major and the prude minor are entire
| ly monopolzed by the ladies': the first al
lows the gentleman to touch the fingers
down 10 the second joint; the second gives
vo1 the whole of the forefnger. The very
ladies', however. who use these styles most
effectualy, will, in moment afterwards
permit the iourniqnt squeeze, provided IL Is
done in the waltz or other equally familiar
dance. We might extend our list with de-
scriptions of the gripe-roy0', and the sa"-
mill shake, and the shake rih malice pre-,
pensr. which are, after all, but exaggerated
forms of the pump-hande, pendulum, and
tourniquet varieties, and therefore can be
conceived more easily than described

DEATHS IN BATTLE AND IN CAMP Cow.
pARED.-It is now pretty well known that
the soldier is more likely TO die in The hos
ptal than to be shot down in batte.-
Three Americans died by disease in Mexi.
CO to one who fell in battle. When the
Russians invaded Turkey in 1927, they
lost so 900 by sickness alone, from want Of
necessaries of life, and neglect IN the COM
missaria department; so, 600 Russians
died on the plains Of Turkey, not one man
of whom was killed in battle, for their ad-
vances was not resisted by The Turks. III
1929, the Russians lost 0,0o0 men be-
tween the Pruih and the city OF Adriano-
pie /; some of these however were slain in
battle. When they arrived at AdrisnopIe
the troops were in so wretched condition
from sickness and want of food, that not
1000 men were able TO bear arms.
