Let the person whose name you
wish to know inform you i'll which
of the upright columns the first let
ter of his name is contained. 1t it
be found in but one column, it is the
top letter; if it occurs in more than
one, it is found by adding the alpha
betical numbers of the top letters of
these columns, and the sum will be
the number of the letter sought. By
taking one letter at a time. in this
way, the whole can be ascertained. |.
For example, take the word Jane !: }
is found in the two columns com
mencing with B and Fl, which are
the second and eighth letters down
the alphabet; their sum ten, and
the tenth letter down the alphabet
is j, the letter sought. !fhe next
letter, A, appears in but one col
unn-it stands at the top. n is
seen in the columns headed B, ID,
and H; these are the second, fourth
and eighth letters of the alphabet,
which, added, give the fourteenth,
or n, and so Oh. The use of this
table will excite no little curiosity
among those unacquainted with the
foregoing explanation.

complied with, he would have march

complied with, he would have march
ed at once upon the City OF Mexico,
rallying to his standard the great
army of adventurers from every
quarter of the world. 1t would have
been movement something in the
nature of an avalanche, which accu-
mulates strength and force the fur
ther it goes. The City of Mexico
and the revenues of the Mexican
nation would have tempted this
great conquering host. With success
Walker would have established his
government in the halls of the Mon
tezumas, and the new world would
have been ablaze with the fame and
glory of the modern Caesar.
The Southern leaders of the JEFF.
Davis school were afraid of Walker
because he was the friend OF Quit
man. They were trading with the
Northern Democracy for political
preferment, while Walker and Quit
man were working to found a power
which might help the South i'll the
conflict which was then seen to be
inevitable. If Walker had succeed
ed in establishing himself in Central
America the South would have had
an ally in her rebellion, and after
she had succeeded her fortunes
might have been united with the
flibuster republics of the tropics.
There would have been two empires
Oh this continent of about equal pro-
portions, the one founded on demo
cratic and the other ON aristocratic
notions. The North would have
been for freedom and the South for
caste. Popular sovereignty i'll the
United States and military prepon-
derance in BE Confederacy would
have distinguished the two nations.
This was the programme which was
destroyed, when Walker was muir
dered, from the face of the earth,
because he left no successor capable
of treading in his path. According
as men consider this sketch, so they
will decide whether the death of
Walker was a loss or gain. The
child of glory will say it was a dread
full crime to have dissipated this am
bilious and gorgeous dream of con-
quest; the quiet conservative will
decide that Providence overruled
the "gray-eyed man of destiny in
the interests of peace and progress.
