WALKERS MOVEMENTS AND PROSPECTS.
The following is translated from the San Saliva
dor Goceta Official of July 11th:
"WALKER SEEKING HIS CHAsTIsEMENT-
bandit, having been invited by the inhabitants
| OF the island of Ruatan, embarked on the 9th
OF June at New Orleans, followed by other adven-
turers, with whom he arrived at that Island on the
2lst. On the following day he embarked in the
schooner j. A. Taylor, with fifty men and another
larger vessel, for Cayos Cochinos. 1t is believed
mat the expedition is going to Omoa Trujille;

me dlssensons which prevailed in Nicaragua
late IN 1894 and early in 55; the uuarrels between
| Guatemala and Honduras no less than the differ
ences between Costa Rica and Nicaragua. gave
opportunity to Walker, who was called by the
parties which then tore the Republic in pieces, to
veX and oppress it for a season. And this power
was somewhat increased by the impression caused,
to some extent, by his audacity, which led certain
persons to suppose him superior man, hero, or
something in that style; and they praised and re-
commended him to the multitude, who, in some
localities, were seduced, and sympathzed with
him.
"Now the situation of things is different. All
secuons OF Central America are tranquil. There is
no antagonism between any of them and all the in
naoltahts detest the base adventurer Who if he has
any tnlng remarkable about him, it is only his per-
sstency in seeking his aggrandizemet in rapne
and destruction, initiating Morgan in immortality
and nhumanity, but not in the lofty pride of that
buccaneer. With such premises, we do not hesitate
to foretell that if Walker penetrates into any of
the sections of Central America he will there find
his grave and in part expate his terrible crmes.'

PERsoNAL.--John b. Cough, the celebrated
lecturer, arrived at Boston on Wednesday in the
Arabia. Immediately on his arrival he received
letter signed by four hundred and eighty clergy
men OF the different denominations, inviting him to
public reception at fremont Temple, on some day
to be hereafter named. Mr.. Cough has been lectur-
ing In Great Britain for three years, and has
attained IN England, Scotland and Wales a great
popularity, though he became involved in a libel
suit, which turned to his advantage as he
gained heavy damages. Indeed, the career of this
remarkable man and powerful orator-for only by
the exercise of real Oratorcal ability could he have
obtained his vast popularity striking. Born
| in England, he came to this country when boy,
| and became victim to intemperance. The kind
ness OF friend saved him from utter ruin of mind
and body, and he signed the pledge From that
time he gradually rose, and became the most famous
| OF our temperance orators. He invited to lee
| ture six weeks before the National Temperance
| League OF Great Britain, and went there, but re-
mained two years
lie then revisited America and subsequently re-
| turned to England where he has spent year in
! Scotland and Ireland and two in England. During
this last stay abroad he has delivered three hundred
| and ninety addresses to aggregate of at least
| half million hearers, nearly twelve thousand of
whom are said to have signed the temperance
| pledge A few days before he left London for this
country he delivered an address at Exeter Hall-his
ninety-tifth in that place-after which he pre-
sented with an address of thanks and cOngratala-
tions signed by three hundred of the principal
| orators and philanthropists of England. Neither
| the temperance system nor the Maine law are gen.
orally popular in England, and a London paper
truly observes that "the secret of Mr.. Coughs all
| but universal success a subject in which a COM
paratively small section of the public take special
interest, Is at least remarkable, and to describe it
in a sentence, it is the merit of shedding the radi
ance of genius difficulties over which other
temperance orators have stumbed.-N. Y Post,
