UNCERTAINTY OF Political PowER-ThC
present condition of two distinguished Mex
can statesmen, Antony Canales and Jesus
Cardenas, former governor of the State Of
Tamaulipas, is an example of the uncer.
tainty Of the permanency Of hnman power
The great Guadalsjara revolution, which
drove President Arista into exile for the
second time, ,-also robbed these two men Of
their proud positions and set them to play
ing hide and seek in their own country
The first is now teacher Of mathematics in
some obscure village in the interior, while
the latter is an altaehe to village church
in the Vale del Maiz, both in obscurity,
and both reduced to destitute poverty.

US. SENATE.-The Legislatures of Penn
sylvania, Indiana, Missouri, and California
have each been unable to elect U. S
Senator this year and have in effect re
ferred the matter to the their successors
The vacancies thus existing were filed il
the recent congress by two Nebraska, ant
two Anti-Nebraska Senators. Besides
these, there are two vacancies from New
Hampshire, which will be filled by Anti-Ne'
braska men, and one in Alabama, which
will be filed by Nebraska man. The
new Senate will stand about 2 to in favor
Of the Nebraska Law. A majority of the
House will probably be opposed to that
law, SO far as it bears upon the old Mis-.
souri, Compromise Line, though It is by nc
means certain that majority will be in
favor Of repeal. If they should be, it will
avail nothing, as the Senate will non-con-
enr.

TIE "AR1srocRATIo DRY RoT."-The late
attacks Of the London press upon the aris-
tocratic element of the British government
as the cause of the present defects in the
military system is seconded by Douglass
Jerrold, who calls it the "aristocratic dry
rot" and says the whole fabric is the struc-
ture of century or more OF the most
shameful injustice, the vilcst jobbing, and
the most selfish ignorance. He congratu-
lates the country on its fall with the minis
try, and says:
Henceforth, we must have generals
and officers from the great mass Of the peo-
pie, and not from few coteries. Genius
and wounds and service must hencetorth
purchase military rank, and not cash. Scars
may buy promotion but not bank checks.
And the time is fast coming-present events
hurry it onward-when the people Of Eng
land will no longer be the property of two
or three houses-coroneted Noodles and
Doodles imbecilities that come in with
the Conquero,' and will go out with the
coming of the conquering mass-but will
supply their own statesmen. Brains will
rule and not baubles." .

NEW ENGLAND IsMs.-The following was
written by JOHN Quincy ADAMS in 1918:
"If New England loses her influence in
the councils Of the Union. it will not be
owing to any diminution of her population.
It will be from the partial sectarian, or, as
Hamilton called it, elanish spirit, which
makes so many Of her political leaders jeal-
Gus and envious Of the South. This spirit
is, in its nature, narrow and contracted,
and it always works by means like itself"

The Lords Prayer.

A friend tells an anecdote of Booth, the great
tragedian, which we do not recollect having seen
in print. 1t occurred in the palmy days Of his
fame, before the sparkle Of his great black eye
had been dimmed by the bane of genius-strong
drink:
Booth and several friends had been invited
to dine with on old gentleman in Baltimore, Of
distinguished kindness, urbanity, and piety.
The host, though disappearing Of theaters, and
theater-going, had heard so much Of Booths re-
markable powers, that curiosity to see the man
had, in this instance, overcome all his scruples
and prejudice. After the entertainment was
over, lamps lighted, and the company reseated
IN the drawing room, some one requested Booth
as particular favor, and one which all present
would doubtless appreciate, to read aloud the
Lords Prayer. Booth expressed his willing
ness to afford them this qualification, and all
eyes were turned expectantly upon him.. Booth
rose slowly and reverently from his chair. It
was wonderful to watch the play of emotions
that convulsed his countenance He became
deathly pale, and his eyes, turned trembling
upwards, were wet with tears. As yet he had
not spoken. The silence could be felt. 1t be-
came absolutely painful, until at last the spell
was broken as if by an electric shock, as his
rich toned voice, from white lips, syllabled FORTH
Our Father, which art in Heaven" with a
pathos and fervid solemnity that thrilled all
hearts. He finished. The silence continued.
Not voice was heard nor a muscle moved in
the audience, until from remote corner of the
room q subdued sob was heard, and the old
gentleman their host) stepped forward with
streaming eyes and tottering frame and seized
Booth by the hand. "Sir," said he, in broken
accents, "you have afforded me a pleasure for
which my whole future life will feel grateful.
| am an old man, and every day from my boy
hood to the present time, 1 thought had re-
peated the Lords Prayer, but / have never
heard t-before, neuer." You are right" re-
piled Booth, I" to read the prayer as It should
be read, has cost me the severest study and
labor for thirty years, and am far from being
yet satisfied with my rendering of that wonder
full production. Hardly one person in ten
Thousand comprehends how much beauty, ten
derness, and grandeur can be condensed in a
space so small and in words SO simple. That
prayer of itself sufficiently illustrates the truth
Of the Bible, and stamps upon it the seal Of
divinity" M
So great was the effect produced, (says our
Informant who was presently that conversation
was sustained but short time longer in sub.
dued monysyllable, and almost entirely ceased
and soon after, at an early hour, the company
broke up, and retired to their several homes
with sad faces and full hearts.
