WORCESTERSHIRE OF NORA CE GREE

LNGERSOLLsSLIFE OF NORA CE GREE
In preparing this volume, the author
has aimed to present a view of the po-
litical history of the times, rs well as
the personal biography of the subject
He has described Mr.. Greeley, not so
much as single character in the grand
drama of his life, as with large envi-
ronment of friends and adversaries who
occupied conspicuous position in the
development of events. The work, in
fact, consists of a series of portraits,
representing the various manifestations
of Mr.. Greeleys character and genius,
rather than strictly chronological mar
rative of his life, in which the unity of
time would have been preserved at the
expense of series of fragmentary pic
lures. Mr.. Ingersoll writes not as
partisan or an enthusiastic admirer, but
rather MS critic and judge. His volume
luakes no pretension to the niceties of
literary finish, but is offered to the
public as plain and popular sketch of
a man of the people. If it contains few
instances of novel character, which
was not to be expected in field that
has been so thoroughly CLEANED by dill
gent workers, it often presents the lead
ing features of Mr.. Greeley's career in
a new light, and furnishes many fresh
and impressive illustrations of his char
acter and habits. The writer appears
to have made faithful search for au-
thentic materials, and to have wrought
them into his narrative with Judgment
and skill, although in not few in
stances he hes been mis!ed by trusting
to popular traditions, and sometimes
labors under a misconception of i'm
portant facts. No one, however, can
accuse him of want of fairness or i'm
Partially, or of the influence of any
motive in the composition of his work
beside the attainment of historical
truth.
In every biography of Mr.. Greeley,
not excepting his own Recollections,
considerable space is allotted to his out
ward personal characteristics, which
often made deeper impression upon
the superficial observer than the in
trinsic qualities of his real nature. Mr.
lngersoll has few paragraphs on this
subject which show clearer insight
than has usually been displayed by pre-
viCus writers.-NcaU York Tribune.

THAT AfLSCHIEVOUS HTCKFORD BOY.
Jonas Wickford's little son made q
leap for fame, Saturday, and nearly
landed in eternity. He was in an apple
tree of his fathers, on branch that
overhung Mr.. O'Clarence's premises
He was standing on the branch, pre-
paringte jump and catch another branch.
as he had seen a man in the circus 10
on the bars, when Mr.. O'Clarence, who
was looking for the eggs of a deceitful
hen, appeared beneath the tree, and got
down on his hands and knees to examine
the grass. The boy says he did not
know Mr.. O'Clarence was there. and it
is likely that he did not, as, otherwise,
he would have forborne making any ex-
periments that might bring him within
reach of the dreaded neighbor, who
never can forget that disastrous affair
on the last anniversary Of our National
Independence. With all prepared, the
youth made the spring, missed the COW
eted branch by the sixteenth of an inch,
and came down with n dreadful thrd on
the back of Mr.. O'Clarence, fiattening
that gentleman to the earth, driving his
nose into the sod, and making every
bone in his body snap like SO many pop
ping corns. For an instant the misera-

age: After horse is nine years old, u

Add the number of wrinkles to nine,

CELEBRA IisD NILTTLtRY Trials.
ATry7 The imposing trial of Marshal Ba-
s4a.s zaine is made the occasion by a writer
t1a in the Inter ocean to recall some of the
!. celebrated military and naval trials of
..uhistory. alfh III" r'.-- ~
The longest and perhaps the most i'm
r portant WAS that of Warren Hastings,
~, a. first Governor General OF British India.
10 He may be said to have been the first
~. man who, during those perilous times,
placed the flag of his country securely
=. in the Eastern world, He fought the
; J increasing power of Hyder All, the
- -. sovereign of Mysore, aided by the sea
% and Land forces of France and although
sjo,, his actions were not unminglcd with
-'t severity, he lived to see his plans for
the security of India fully applauded.
On his return to England in 1856, party
feeling had turned against him, and he
80 was accused of having governed arbi
-. trarily and tyrannically; of having OK
torted immense sums of money, and Of
having exercised every species Of OPP
-. preston. This celebrated trial lasted
ment speech by Burke stands as a
monument OF splendid cloquence and
forensic ability. At the end of this
tedious and shamefully protracted trial,
- Warren Hastings was acquitted and
=, Sentenced to pay the costs OF the de-
Tense, which amounted to above $780,
O00 For this the East India Company
Unidentified him by pension of $4,000
for life.
The trial of Admiral Byng was one of
the .ca0SeS ccicbrc Of English naval
! annals. In~this a gallant sailor was
tried for surrendering his ship to The
Z p enemy after having fought it until it
had almost given out. He was shot at
$50 T the qu;trtcr-deck of Il man-of-war, and
history has generally regarded the SEN
tence us harsh and arbitrary.
hfSF'rance one of the most celebrated
trials was that Of the brave and dashiDg
Marshal Ney. This splendid soldier, the
right land man of Napoleon, who re-
ceived the universal soubriquet of
: -1'' Brayast Of the Brave af er serving
- with the army OF the Rhine, being
loaded with honors and decorations, left
his retirement to Join the once more
~, victorious arms of the great Napoleon.
Having determined, however, that the
Izu, return OF the Emperor would prove dis
lR'- astrous to France, lie paid allegiance to
Louis XVIII. Arriving at Besancon
and finding that the whole country was
hastening to meet The Emperor, he be-
-. came again infatuated, and went over to
. his early friend The fate of Napoleon
I- sounded the death-knell of The gallant
Ney. On the return of the Hing,
although advised to quit France, he was
seized, tried by the Court Of Peers. his
companions in arms having refused to sit
in court-martial against him, and SEN
fenced to death. The DAY that Marshal
Ney gave up his life to France must
ever remain slur upon the clivalry of
French monarchy.

The crisis is over the panic has run
its course confidence is returning !;
business is resuming its old channels.
There will be, doubtless, great deal of
individual suffering, long train of
minor disasters. 1t is impossible that
it should be otherwise. Such is the I'M
avoidable result of financial spasms.
Many needed and worthy enterprises
must be for time suspended, and new
projects must be adjourned for more
favorable season. But the great and
necessary business of the country is
gradually resuming its former current.
British gold continues to flow toward
our shores i'll exchange for our bread,
pork and cotton. The prices of these
products show no diminution, and there
is no likelihood of their doing so, for
they are staples that the world can no
more afford to do without than a ship
could navigate without rudder. In a
word, the situation may be summed up
in one word: ChoerJut. The fact is,
we have had 10 panic. We have only
had big scare, and people wonder why
they allowed themselves to be so badly
frightened at the. bursting of a few
cphemeral bubbles. Well, such spasms
as these contain their lessons, and there
is reason to hope the people will learn
wisdom from this one.

Water is the great mechanical power
in nature. It is the great leveler; it
moves mountains and fills valleys. All
our stratifed rocks, sandstones, states,
and limestones were formed by the ac-
ton of water. To the solvent power
of water and it's chemical action we owe
our useful minerals, oar metallic depos-
its, cur iron, copper, zinc, gold, and
silver ores, and even coal. To its phys
ical properties relations to heat
we owe all the phenomena of clouds,
dew, rain, fog, snow, and frost. 1t sup
ports the plants, brings them their
mineral food from the soil, and protects
them from excessive heat Animals are
equally dependent upon it. Yet, after
all, it is only the agent of the sun /; it is
sun power that makes plants grow it
is sun-power that moves everything in
he world, and water is merely the suns
agent. The loss of water would pro-
duce the same condition of things on
earth that We notice now i'll the moon.
Although we have such vast quantity
of water, yet it is only 1910, 000th part
of the earth or O0042 per cent. The
crystalline rocks at the earth's surface
now contain larger quantity of water
than this, and the moment our earth
cools enough toabsorb four housandths
