Sir Archibald Alison.
rom the New York world.I

From the New York World.l
The cable brings US intelligence OF the
death Of the celebrated historian; Sir
Archibald Alison. In the world Of let
ters, in the early part Of the present cen
tury, there was none 80 celebrated as he.
His writings, able and graceful, were
seized with Ayidity BY the English and
American reading public, and the labors
of his maturer years prove Of invaluable
service to the student of European his
tory He was born at Henley, December
20. 1892, his father, Scotch divine,
having before him created for himself q
name as the suthor Of Essays on Taste, 4
appearing in the Edinburg Reoieic.
Educated at the University of Edln-
burg, he adopted the law as a profession
in 1914, and, having travelled eonside-
rably over Europe, he was in 1922
appointed to the honorable position Of
Advocate General From this post he
rose gradually, distinguishing himself
for a keen energetic lawyer, and in 1923
he became member Of the Crown
Council. Four years later he was APP
pointed sheriff of Lansrkshire, an office
which is, in Scotland, the highest judicial
station next to the bench In the same
year he published his first work--a
rather dry one-"The Principles of
Criminal Law" and year later COM
panion volume from his pen appeared,
"The Practice Of the Criminal. Law.
By these two works his reputation as a
writer was established, and so much
we're they esteemed that they be
came standard authorities with the
bar of Scotland. He now turned
his attention to the great work with
which his name will always be associated.
The first volume of "The History OF
Europe" appeared in 1888, and the sue
cessive nine volumes at intervals during
the successive years. This work achieved
an immense success. 1t ran through q
largo number Of editions in England,
was reprinted in this country, and trans
lated into French, German, and even
Arabic and Hindoostsnee. This we'll
known works. one of the most remark
able historical compositions in exis-
tence The information contained in it
must have taken large number of years
in its compilation, and o considerable
charm attaches to it from its entire re-
liability. Sometimes the author allows
himself to be biased lby his high Tory
principles, but these occasions are few,
and the work is probably the most un-
prejudiced that may be found. To those
who have seen it, the clearness of the
style and brilliancy of the ideas con =
tanned in it, must have been apparent,
and the later volumes to the time Of the
accession of Louis Napoleon are char
acterizsd by a conscientions accuracy
and unbiased criticism. The other
works of Sir Archibald Alison are his
Principles of Population AID Life
of the Duke of Marlborough. In 1851
he was elected rector Of the Glasgow
University, and soon after the founda-
ton of the Dcrby.d Israeli Cabinet, WAS
created q baronet His death forms a
gap in the literary world difficult 10

Then and Now.

We find the following article in an
exchange, but know not who is its author,
The contrast presented is so striking and
admirable that we cannot forego the
temptation to give it to our readers. il
furnishes food for reflection, Under the
caption of "Then and Now" the writer
says:
"In the winter of 1861, in the theater
at st. Louis, the wife Of the principal
actor tossed her husband our National
flag. He caught, eagerly unrolled it,
and carefully and audibly counted over
the starry representatives of States
stamped upon its folds. AS he pro-
nounced the final number, thirty
four, he held the flag ahoat, and triumph
autly exclaimed, thank God, they are
all thereP amidst an enthusiastic ap-
pause that shook the building like an
earthquake, and melted to tears hundreds
in the vast assemblage.
'In the winter of 1865, in the House Of
Representatives at Washington, creden-
tials bearing the broad seal of the State
of Tennessee were held up view Of its
members. Thaddeus Stevens arose, and
with a wave of the hand, said: " No
such State as Tennessee is known to this
House" with the approval and indorse-
ment of that body. Reverse the picture
Suppose Thaddeus Stevens to have
uttered that atrocious sentence in St
Louis in 1861. His white locks would
not have shielded him from the fatal
violence of an insulted patriotism. Sup
pose, again, the patriotic actor to stand
today in the House of Representatives
and count over the stars upon our
national banner. He would be met with
only insults and derision, or violent
expulsion from their presence. Let the
reader ponder these strange contrasts,
and draw his own conclusions.

with q fast young man, who had known
her before her marriage, She told him
the story OF her wrongs. He accommo'
dated her with money, and an assigna-
ton was made for the following day.
She is now irrepArably lost, and belongs
to that class Of unfortunate females, the
pattering of whose feet is heard far into
the late hours, endeavoring TO sell body
and wul for q pecuniary consideration.
The husband is disconsolate, the mother
full Of grief, while the father is as obstl-
nate as flinty rock.
Thus ends another chapter in fashion

the better. But, dear reader, stop and
think, and let us reason together.
We bitterly oppose The stimulating
treatment Of cholera and diarrhed, so
long as it can be better controlled by
miider remedies, and if you will be
patient, will endeavor to convince you
OF the correctness of our views.
As generally practiced, we say, the
stimulating treatment is unsafe, hdsdrd-
Gus, perilous, and .traught Nth ertt
We believe that nature revolts, and the
system writhes, and rapidly sinks under
its use.
1t may be said we are presuming very
much indeed, to oppose the treatment OF
nearly the whole medical profession OF
the South. Be it So Have we not q
right to speak our sentiments He who
denies us of this grand birihright Of our
nature, is scientific bigot We ques
tion the propriety Of such treatment and
propose to give our honest reasons freely
and fully. Do not convict and condemn
before the case is made out. Our opin-
ions are based upon facts, figures, ex'
perieuce and truth, which we propose to
discuss in our next article.

that JENNINGS was confined in Jail at Marion Ala,i
for some offence against the laws, and was about:
to be bailed from custody, when the jailor dscoy-
ersd the Proclamation of Gov. OhR, offering q re-.

FIXED FACTS.

The Cheraw Advertiser snys that the following
are fixed facts
First, that convention will be called in this
State by an overwhelming majority, and that the
constitution framed by that convention will be rat
i6ed by like majority. Nearly one-half of the
white voters are disfranchised by the last expana-
tory supplementary Act; but if there was no dis
franchisement, the colored vote will be unit,
which would of itself call convention. In addi-
ton to the colored vote, however, We think it safe
to add majority of the white vote to that of the
colored in favor of convention.
In the next place, the constitution framed by
the convention will be adopted by the popular vote
by similar majority to that for the call of con-
vention.
The next fixed fact is, that the State will be re-
constructed in full accordance with the Act and its
supplements; that is, it will be thoroughly rad-
caliset-wll elect radical delegation to Congress,
and cast radical vote in the next Presidential
election. If these ore fixed facts, Us we suppose,
the next fixed fact is, at the meeting of Congress
in December, the constitution adopted by the peo-
pie will be approved by Congress, and the Sena-
tors and Representatives will Be admitted at once
to their seats in that body. Thus the leader in
the rebellion-the first State that attempted to
withdraw from the Union-will be the first to got
back out Of the cold.
