eral Napier was surprised at the discipline and
skill of Kassai's troops, which we're renewed
before him. he was treated to some bread anu
beer, and presented with lion skin ana "ai
trappings, and grey mule, which ne RODE oach
to camp. Kassai limited that he YOU'D ike
Theodore's place after that sovereign hao oeen
killed, but General Napier declined to promise.
All the ingenuity of the loyal Australians
was brought into reouisition on the VISIT oi
Prince Alfred. The most remarkable thing on
the occasion of his arrival in the haroor Oh
SYDNEY was a marine illumination, represent
ing a huge fiery dragon. This was accom-
pGshed bv enclosing the steamer Taamba In
transparencies in the appropriate form, snow
ing ewes, scales, teeth, claws, ears, and all the
popularly ascribed characteristics OF dragon.
The tail was formed by twenty-five smps ooats
in line, Illuminated with lanterns. The
length of the figure was one hundred and two
feet, without the tail. The jaws we're dlstend-
ed about six feet, being about sixteen feet IN
length. The green, red and black colors OF
the eyes were easily represented. By judicious
dispisy of rockets and other pyrotechnlcs, tne
monster was made to spit fire from his head
and tail, as removed along, towed by q steamer
at distance. The priucely representative OF
st. George did not venture to attack this
dragon, but enjoyed his fireworks display very
much. The people may have subsequently
made some comparisons between the conduct
of the old and the new st. George quite un-
complimentary to the latter.
An amusing anecdote is told of Buffers
irascible temperament. At the breaking out
of the war three commissions were issued to
Generals Banks, Dix and Butler, bearing date
May 16, 1861. A difficulty arose as to when
one of these officers ranked the other. Presi-
dent Lincoln, it seems, wrote on slip OF paper
the above names in the order they appear,
leaving Butler last, and, of course, outranked
by the other two. When Butler learned this
he repaired to the War Department and raised
a great commotion, contending that as he had
put his troops in the field before the others he
was entitled to seniority Of rank. Thomas, who
was acknowledgement at the time, fell in his
way, and was taken to task for placing the
martial trio in the order they have been given.
s'There has been some shutting going on in
your department, and you are traitor" e1-
claimed the highly infamed hero of many un-
fought fields. General Thomas, with his usual
calm expression, surveyed Buffers agitated
form, and measuredly responded, "you're
liar" A lively scene ensued. Butler doubled
his digits and placed both his hands inconve-
niently close to Thomas nose, while the Secre-
tary of War and group Of amazed spectators
looked wonderingly on. Thomas reiterated his
conviction of Buffers veracity, and the latter,
who never cares to encounter determined oppo-
sition, dropped his threatening attitude and in
gloriously retired.

A Shocking Threat.

In the United States Senate, the other
day, bill was presented to indemnify one
WILLIAM HENRY Orrs. of Indianapolis, for
damage done to lot of forty-fve aores OF
land, on which was located Camp Burnside
during the late war. 1t appeared, from the
report of the committee, that Orts has
already received, as rent, nearly $4,000, and
that his claim was for damage to land, de-
struction to fences, orchards, &C., S2l ,OOo
On the proposition to allow this claim arose
a debate, which developed the slumbering
fires of antagonism between the West and
the East. WILSON, Of Massachusetts, op-
posed the claim as coming from one Of
class who desired to plunder the govern
ment, whereupon MORTON, of Indiana, also
Republican, covertly insinuated that II
such legitimate claims of Western citizens
were repudiated, the great West, with it's
now preponderating strength, might repudl-
ate the government bonds, and leave the
Eastern capitalists, who have absorbed them,
to whistle for their investments. The PLAIN
English of the argument was, that If the
Western landholder was to be plundered,
the Eastern bondholder would share like
fate.
The agriculturists of the West, like those
of the South, are heavily taxed for the pur-
pose of paying interest upon these bonds
for the benefit of the Eastern owner, while
the holder himself escapes scot free. And
this is the question of repudiation in nut
shell. For months it has been stirring the
masses of the great West. And now, that
a Radical Senator should have openly made
the threat upon the floor of Congress- is IN
deed q significant sign Of the times.

The interview between General Napier aad
the Abyssinian Prince, Kassai, of Tigre, was
very unique. The British General rode to the
place of meeting on an elephant, an animal
that the Abyssinians have never succeeded in
tanning, thereby intending to impress Kassai
with sense Of British skill and power. They
went through the usual salutations, neither
understanding the other, and then entered the
tent with the staff officers. Kassai is young
man of thirty-fve years Of age. His face, OF a
dark olive color, is Intellectual, but he wears
careworn and wearied expression, which justi-
fies his statement that he did not desire power,
but that it was thrust upon him by the people
of Tgre. He wore the Abyssinian costume, a
white robe or toga, embroidered with crimson
round his body, and the fowered silk skirt
which marks those high in Office round the
king. His dark black hair was arranged in
careful pIaits, which, drawn back from the
forehead, are tied by piece of ribbon round
the back Of the neck. he was presented with
. double-barrelled rife and some glass goblets,
treated to review and some port wine, and in
duced to promise protection and supplies to
xhe British troops. On the return visit. Gen.

The Natural Result.

Gen. Grant was not only nominated rs the
Republican candidate for the Presidency
through the influence of the bondholders, but
he was placed on genuine bondhOlders plat
form And the natural result has followed !:
bonds have advanced per cent. circum-
stance that seems to make certain republicans
exceedingly .iubilant. But cui bono for whose
good is II that it requires more government
notes TO buy UP oar bonds than it did before
one of the great parties OF the country de-
clared in favor Of paying the bonds, principal
and interest in gold, when by law they are
made payable in greenbacks No redemption
of 52O's in government papcr-gold for the
bondholders, greenbacks for the citizen, the
soldier his widow and orphaned children. So
says the Republican candidate so says his
platform. Keep up the national banks-pay
twenty millions year for the privilege of
using paper instead of substituting three hun
bred millions of greenbacks that cost no III
tcrest. All this seems to rejoice the money
kings. but how is it with the laboring, the

country, instead Of being invested in building

Death Of Kit Carson,

Gen. Kit Carson, the famous Indian fighter,
mountaineer and trapper, died at Fort Lyon,
Colorado Territory, on the 23d of May aged
SO years. Less than a year ago, Carson came
east, and for the first time since his boyhood
lived after the manner of 'civilization." It
undermined his health. Six months ago he
returned to the plains sick, and never again
wholly recovered his health, though the i'm
mediate cause of his death is said to have
been.thc rupture of blood vessel in his neck.
He was noted as possessing most daring and
intrepid character, and was known by larger
number of Indians, and had more influence
over them than perhaps any other white man
that ever lived. His history, properly written,
would possess an interest above the most in
gcniously constructed romance.

Death OF Ex.Prssidsnt Buchanan.

James Buchanan, ex-President OF the Unit
ed States, diel ut his home at Wheatland, Pa,
at $50 o'clock on the morning Of the LIST inst,
in the 18th year Of his age.
Few statesmen of this country filled more
useful and honorable career than did James
Buchanan up to his election to tho Presidency
of the United States. AS member of the lc-
gislature Of his native state, as member of
congress, as U. s. Senatar, as minister to for
sign courts, and IS secretary Of state under
President Polk, his career was not only uni
formly creditablo, but often brilliant. He ne
yer failed except IS President, and then oil his
calamities, failures and disgraces seemed to re-
suit from his cruel, eauselcss and foolish at
tempt to crush Stephen A. Douglas. 1t SEEM
cd to hurry him from blunder to blunder, until
he finally went out Of Office the most unpopular
Of oil the Presidents. History, however, Will
yet do justice to James Buchanan. The pres
emit age is not competent to render verdict in
his case.
