poet he stood in rivalry-a rivalry of con-

 was believed capable of coping on equal
 terms with Berryer and Montalembert.
 His History of the Girondists was eagerly
 devoured by thousands who had not read Q

 and had probably never heard the names
 of such men as Robertson and Prescott.
 No man ever was SD great in such various forms of greatness as Lamartine seriously
 believed himself to be, and for a time ai- most persuaded the world to believe him. He never awoke from the delusion: the world soon did. So for some years back he was still walking in dream, among people wlde-awake and busy with their own affairs. It is something gratify- ing to think, however, that they were not so busy as to forget altogether the now old, impoverished, and broken man, who once was their idol, gorgeously enthroned. The Parisians gave Lamartine house near the Bois de Boulogne, and his closing months were less bitter, so far as pover is concern ed, than previous years had been. But death smote him heavily when it took his noble, true, devoted wife; and it best aton- ed for that blow by the later one which struck him down. He was very old man when he died, and he had outlived all that was worth having. His wealth, his posi- ton, his wife were gone; his wife as is the way of womanhood, being the last to leave him. Her he will surely rejoin: the fame which he so prlzed is gone forever.

GREELEY FOR CHINA. continues to
urge the importance of appointing the right
man for China; and he is the man. We have
dilated upon his personal qualifications for
this mission, but there is still another view in
which his appointment ought to be considered.
In New York they say be is the Marplot of the
republican party; that with his peculiar kinks
and crotchets he keeps the party divided in
this city into several squabbling factions, and
that if he were only sent out to China all these
discords would soon be harmonized. If this is
true surely the wisest thing for the party, as
for the country and the Chinese, will be to
send out our Chinese philosopher to the
Central Flowery Kingdom"

The Police Uniform Order-A Patrolman's
Experience.

The Police Uniform Order-A Patrolman's
Experience.
We published yesterday the experience of a
"Patrolman' upon the probable results of the
recent stupid order from headquarters to the
effect that policemen must in future appear in
uniform, whether on or off duty, except in a
few cases, such as while at their homes or
boarding houses. A policeman is supposed to
know by experience what the effect of this
order would be, and we think that common
sense viii bear out our correspondent in his
views. He says that if this rule is observed
the policeman cannot perform his duties as the
servant of the public, officer of the law, and the
conservator of order, because If he enters any
place where the law is being violated wearing
citizens clothes, the ordinary protection of the
detective or the vigilant officer, he will be dis
missed the service for infringing upon this new
rule, and, on the other hand, if he should ven
ture into any place, and he cites drinking saloons
and other places of notorious many, N it'll his
uniform on, he is liable to be dismissed for de-
grading his badge of Office. This looks like
a case Of technical cross purposes. But
there is another reason why this rule
Of the Commissioners is Objectionable. 1t
destroys the independence of the officer to a
great extent, because If man must wear the
livery Of public service for thirty-six hours
which his duty as a policeman claims from
him, he should be allowed during the interval
Of relaxation, which, according to the rules
of the force is extended to intervals of twelve
hours-to dress as citizen, in these hours of
recreation which are generally devoted to the
ordinary attentions to the comforts of his
family which every man, whether policeman,
soldier or civilian, feels in duty bound to
bestow.
The Commissioners may have reasons I'M
known to us for issuing this order. They may
deem 1t wisdom to establish rule which seems
to outside ignorance arbitrary and cruel, but
we hope that at their next meeting, when, as
we understand, the question is about to be re-
considered, they will 80 view the matter that
its absolute necessity as mode Of increasing
the efficiency Of the police can alone justify its
continuance.

The preparations of the chief contestants
for the coming fall campaign are in full blast
The expected arrival in few days of the Great
Mogul Of the Tammany dynasty has nervously
affected the leaders of the opposing organiza-
tions and thrown the disafected office seekers
of the party proper into a kind of cold sweat
Smith Ely, Jr., who was to have advanced the
standard of the democratic Union party and
led it to the conflict, has as yet failed to issue
his pronuncianaiento. Not even word of
cheer or hope has he vouchsafed to the party
that had been looking forward with such conf
dence to the moment that he would, in fulfil
ment of bis pledge, assume the leadership.
The work of organization, however, is pro-
crossing all round. Even the shattered ranks
and demoralized leaders of the republican
forces are once more meeting in council and
holding pow-wows upon the issues of the cam
paign. The Constitutional Union, sort Of
hybrid organization, tracing its pedigree
from cross between the Democratic
Union and the Mozart parties, is also making
some feeble efforts to present respectable
front on the day of battle. Before then, how
ever, it is more than probable that these weak
and scattered forces will coalesce under one or
two corrupt and scheming leaders, who, with
this augmented strength to parley with, will
make conditions with Tammany and at the last
moment 60 over to the enemy.
When Peter B. arrives he will find that the
only man worthy of his steel yet in the field is
the great Hebrew leader, Jacob Cohen. There
is no compromise in Jacob. He has set his
heart on the Supervisorship, and on that line
he is determined to fight out the campaign to
the last. He will listen to no Establishments
and will not abate jot of the conditions of his
bond-that is to save the city in the place he
has chosen for that purpose-on the Board of
Supervisors. Let Tammany be wise in time.

THE CREDIT OF THE CrTY.-If any evidence
were wanted to show how high the credit Of
the city Of New York stands in the estimation
of capitalists, Of men who have money to loan
upon the faith of the metropolis, it may be
found in the bids at the Comptroller's Office on
Tuesday for the stock of the City Lunatic
Asylum fund, OF Blackwells Island. There
was only three hundred thousand dollars of
stock to be disposed Of, and the bids amounted
to million three hundred and forty-sx
thousand dollars. Who says that the credit
of the city is not superemnent? The fact is
that there is no city in the world whose public
pledges are safer and whose investments can
secure larger returns.

Our correspondence from Havana, pub
lished elsewhere, reports that rumors were
current to the effect that Captain General de
Rodas had received telegram from Madrid
instructing him to prepare the country for
change In the government 1t was also
reported that, evidently in connection with
such instruction, the archives were being Sc
cretly carried to the Cabanas fortress What
object there would be in secrecy Is not 80 clear.
Our correspondent though inclined to doubt
these rumors, states that the Spaniards are
growing tired Of the war and are becoming
DESTROYS for peace on the basis of the autonomy
Of Cuba. Like the betting man who has
staked his money and afterwards perceives
an almost certainty of losing, they are inclined
to ''hedge" and thus save themselves from the
consequences of Cuban independence. Mean
time our intelligence from the interior of the
island tells only of ruin and devastation, with
fighting Of the most desultory character. No
engagements Of consequence had taken place,
nor were any likely to occur. On the whole,
though, the insurgents had not only maintained
their positions, but had been aided by two or
three expeditions which successfully landed
men, arms and munitions of war.
