Prominent Young Men Of England

Young Lord Amberley has recently made
speech at Leeds which is remarkable for its
eloquence and power. He has always been
considered very able and that the house OF
Russell would some day find in him a worthy
representative, but it was not supposed, says
the London correspondent of the Toronto
Globe, that he was radical of radicals, that
he would make bid or the confidence of the
Reform party as great as that made by his IA
ther more than a generation age, but SO it is.
His recent speech is the talk of the town.
Mr.. Bright never hit the House ofLords hard
er than this young Lord did at Leeds. He
now stands on the same platform with Bright
and is in favor of admitting every honest and
industrious Englishman within the electoral
pale. M III 8
The hope of England lies in her young men,
and the new generation, according to present
aspects, is not likely to disgrace the old Am
berley, Stanley Gladstone and Trevelyan are
the names OF four young men who are des-
tined to achieve great distinction, and all
have identified themselves with the cause of
reform. Liberalism is evidently rising in the
Old World, and we may look for great changes
in public opinion, and shsking of the old
dyuasties. III -yaf4- 81

The CAPTURE of Charleston.

The following is an extract from private
letter, dated at Charleston, Feb. 10th, and
written by sen Of Portland, in Commodore
Dahigren's fleet, and we think an officer on his
staff: - tfitBS 80 n
We entered Charleston day before yester-
day, our troops marching in ct one end of the
streets as the rebs marched out at the other
They had mined all the public buildings, but
had not time to blow them up, except the de-
pot where they had stores, &c.
When they left, many of the women and
children rushed in there to get something to
eat, and while they were all in the building,
the rebels blew it up, killing nearly two hun
dred of them. This is all the accident as
yet.
They were frightened out of the city by Our
demonstrations on Bulls Bay, fearing the rail-
road north would be cut, so left in hurry
AS we suspected they were about to leave,
the Admiral sent all the iron-clads up at
night; and about midnight they opened on
sumter and Moultrie and on the bridge, which
latter started the garrisons in a hurry--fear-
ing the oridge would be destroyed before they
were over-so they did not even blow up the
forts, although they had them all mined and
ready.
We have all the guns aud much ammuni-
ton, mostly unimpaired, and also three block
ade runners which came in last night.

The Expected new Secretary Of the

treasury aeaf'-k GtsH
Mr.. McCULLoCH is the son of Hugh Nc
Culloch, previous to the war Of 1872, veal
thy merchant of Kennebunk- During that
war be was reduced to very moderate circum.
stances, by the almost totalloss of his vessels,
embracing two large new ships, and several
others, which rotted in the river before the re.
turn Of peace.
His son, Hugh McCulloch, fitted himself
and entered Bowdoin College. but in conse-
quence of some occular inirmity he was I'M
able to complete his education there. After
his eyesight was restored, he kept school a
short time, and then studied law with Judge
Bourne Of his native town. e,,eit.o fbsis
In 1888, having finished his professional ed
ucation, he started for the West, not having
determined upon any particular place of To-
cation. He finally reached Fort Wayne, then
containing butia small population, but he was
satisfied that it would be an eligible situation,
and there he determined to put out his sign,
though an entire stranger to every man in the
place. gse d a9
Soon afterwards the enterprising citizens
got up Bank, and invited him to the Cashier
ship; which, though not considered by his
friends wise step, he accepted. He contin-
ued in that office until by some legislative
action the Banks in Indiana were aggregated,
and he was made President Of the whole, This
office he held until called to the comptroller
ship of the Currency. su r<,f5sly
Heis remarkably industrious man, giving
himself with scrupulous fidelity to his official
business. There will be no drones under his
eye. Probably he will be the hardest labor
ing man in his department.
He is about Sc years of age, and more
honest, careful, and considerate man cannot
be found in the country.

one of the --latest ouy;osities.

The days Of marvel are not ended Wor-
dcrs probably will never cease, till mortality
itself is no more. Before US, iy-ing upon our
table, Is a daily paper which puts iorta some
big-sounding words in behalf OF the "produc
ing classes. y and tells how ''big with events
of inportarceut TO these classes is 'the imme-.
date future" and urges, them TO strike LOT
Freedom. for their birlhrights and for their
baarthstones, but says not word about
Striking for fte!', -
An this looks well till we call to mind the
status of the paper in which this demagogne
ry is put forth. It's paper which has re-
Gently defended the divinity OF human slav-
ery: which advocates that accursed system
which reduces the real producing classes Of
dozen states to mere things; which denies
them every right, and insists that capital is
above labor, and that the capitalist should own
the laborer! This is the paper that is entering
the scrub race for the orgdnship Of the 'a'pro-
ducing classes, and assumes to speak eraeu-
larry in their behall!-a paper which opposes
an amendment to the national constitution by
which laborers shall be emancipated, and la
Dor itself shall cease to struggle in chains and
exist under degradation
This is not the only wonder in the paper re-
ferred to. The same article daubs with its
offensive soft soap a man whom it has never
spared heretofore, but has held up as the in
carnation Of mischief, and the great apostle
ofanarchy and social disorder. 1t compliments
Wendell Phillips, and urges the laborer, the
mechanic and the producer to listen to his
forcible arguments. s
No one can doubt the honest, sincere char
acter OF such an appeal coming from such a
quaitsr, or that the love evinced for the labor
ing and producing classes is as unselfsh and
holy as that which subsistsd between David
and Jonathan; nor will any one be 50 unkind
as to suggest that, beneath all this is a politi-
cal purpose to be subserved, Notwithstanding
the appeal is coupled with very explicit al
fusion to "the shameful Legislation oftte past
four gears, and the way that legislation bears
upon the laboring classes. No attempt here,
of course, to stir up discomfort with the gov

Discharge from the Ear does not constitute dis
ease, but the sequel of disease of either the Ex-
ternal Middle Ear 1t occurs so often is SO detr-
mental to hearing, so pernicious to the general
health so disagreeable in its character and so very
generally neglected, that it is necessary to devote
special chapter to its consideration order TO have
its true bearing understood. $500
a9a ITS CAUSES aaTaa
Aente or sub-acute Inflammation Of the Middle or
External Ear, invariably terminates with discharge;
but its most prolific is Scarlet Feyerr-this
being the exciting cause in fully two thirds of ali
the eases.
fIr9s rras gg ITS PROGRESS. tWha aa5
The discharge appearing Immediately after the
subsistence of an acute Inflammation is usual thin
scanty and mild in its characters but If allowed to
run into chronic state, it becomes profuse, very
acrid and irritating, assuming an odor so highly
offensive, that even the patients nearest friends
become disguised with it, very often mothers over
come by the dreadful stencil, are unable to attend
to their children, keeping away from them as much
as possible Children affected with it are very often
prevented from attending school, because nobody
wants to sit near them-and this renders them sem
sitiye, inorose, and irritable. Adults, being aware
of the sickening smell, usually shun company as
much as pOsslDle, SO as not 10 give o1ence. Messy
ITS DANGER TO THE EAR. ys
The discharge is very acrd its presence, therefore
tends to increase and extend the Inflammation. IF
proceeding from the Middle Ear, the drum-head
must have been perforated by the inflammation
which gave rise to the discharge in the first instance
sooner or later, the drum-head will slough off an
