Life Of the Late Cant, Fry.

Mrs. J. X. Walker. of our city, a lady vel
known in literary circles, as a graceful forci
bic writer, is engaged in writing and will
soon have ready for publication, the life OF
the gallant captain of The Virginins, the Ia
mented Fry, whose murder at Santiago de
Cuba 50 shocked the civilized world and
whose matchless hrroism, piety and devotion
have shed an undying lustre upon the Amer
lean people. The life of Fry was singularly
replete with exciting incidents and romantic
adventures. and as in most of his Journey
ings around the world he kept a journal, it
will not be very difficult for the talented
LAZY who has undertaken the task to unrav-
ell the threads of his remarkable career, and
weave out of them story that will be deep
ly interesting and touchingly sad.
Though some time has elapsed since the
dreadful tragedy at Santiago de Cuba was
enacted, yet even now. the grand figure of
the dauntless, noble, gentle and tender Fry,
who cared nothing for his own life and only
ones at home-rises in imagination before
us as wildly to-day as when the tidlngs
first came of the Spanish butchery.
And the annals of history may be searched
in vain for a grander figure than that of
Fry as he stood there before the execution
ers upon the snowy sands of Cuba, willing
to offer up his own life as sacrifice for his
fellows, asking not for mercy for himself,
but for his men, We are gratified that SO
able and accomplished writer as Mrs.
Walker has determined to wrest from OBJ
ivion the records of this noble life, and we
hazard nothing in predicting that so bril-
liant and beautiful close must have been
preceded by pure and blameless life.

The Finale of the Van Buren, Case.
[St. Louis Republican,

Our readers have not forgotten the dis
graceful quarrel between Mr. Jay, United
States Minister at the court of Vienna, and
General Van Buren,, chief commissioner of
the American government at the Exposition.
This quarrel resulted in the removal of Van
Buren, and the most of his colleagues, and
put in circulation vast amount of scandal,
which made our citizens travelling abroad
as we'll as those at home, heartily ashamed
of their nationality.
To establish the truth of the charges pre-
erred against the chief commissioner, Mr..
Jay transmitted to the State Department a
mass of documentary evidence which-so it
was said at the time-placed the question
of guilt beyond cavil or dispute. Through
influences not yet explained, General Van
Buren,, though unable to procure a reversal
of his sentence, or anything like 6 vndica-
ton, did obtain a nomination to a foreign
consulshp. The idea of nominating man
to responsible diplomatic position who
was still laboring under accusations which
had dismissed him from another and less
important Office, could only have
occurred to an administration like
the present; but to President Grant
and his associates, decency, propriety and
Justice are apparently unknown elements
OF course the presentation Of the eX-com-
missioner's name to the Senate revived the
old matter. and his case was referred to the
Appropriation Committee for investigation
The chairman of that committee, Senator
Buckingham, after having carefully read
all the documents furnished by the State
Department, and all the communications
Of Minister Jay, now formally announces
that there is nothing i'll the record to com
promise Van Buren,, that he is guiltless
of all the charges laid at his door. and,
therefore, entitled to prompt confirmation
by tie Senate.
If this remarkable verdict be correct-and
We do not doubt it tor a moment-what
ought 10 be done with the minister who is
thus convicted of slandering and persecut
ing An innocent man what must BE-
thought of an administration which, for
twelve months, has virtually sanctioned
and Endorsed the SANDER and the persecu-
ton

| The Houston Mercury keeps a pegging
away at railroad connection between New
Orleans and Texas with a zeal worthier of a
more enterprsing age and people.
The question, it says. is, will Morgan build
the ship channel, and will the people ofNew
Orleans and Houston construct the Texas
and New Orleans Railroad Is one of grave
Importance, not only to the citizens of Texas
but to the citizens Of New Orleans. The cit
liens of New Orleans and Houston have slept
upon their right and privileges. Although
the question of ship channel to Houston
and the New Orleans Railroad has been dis
cussed for over eight years, yet they have
permitted connection between the Houston
and Texas Central Railroad, and the NJ, X.
and L. Road to be formed, and take
from them the trade that legiti-
mately belonged here and there.
st. Louis has been making every effort to
control the Texas trade, and acting in con-
junction with the NJ, X. and 7. Road in in
vting this trade North. This road has
taken it for one-sixth of the price of trans
portation which was charged by the Texas
Central Railroad. While the Houston and
Texas Central Railroad charged S. 20 per
bale for cotton from Sherman to Houston,
and S. 10 to Galveston, the NJ, X. and L.
Road carried it twice the distance for 81 IS.
Hence the trade naturally went North to
st. Louis. Merchants who have laid in
large supplies of goods for the fall and win
ter trade in Houston and Galveston-ex-
pecting of course to control the trade of the
interior of Texas-have been disappointed
by this diversion of commercial traffic.
Heretofore the most of the Texas trade has
poured into 1he lap of the great metropolis
of Louisiana, New Orleans, but we are sorry
to say that that great Southern city has
been indulging in Rip Van Wrinkle sleep.

The British journals report two effect is
which our financial panic has had upon
them Tn the literary world it has caused
much dis appointment, from the withdrawal
of the proposals made to many English eel
ebritieS who had been invited to deliver lee
lures in the United States at high prices.
TO certain extent, however, this diSap
pointment is sa d to be counterbalanced by
the falling off in ''the American demand for
wild animals" The fact is, that prior to
the panic the American competition was
forcing up the prices of animals at a rate
sufficient to alarm even the wealthy 10
illogical Society, whose gardens are one of
the most attractive features of London. Now,
however, one can enjoy the luxury of tiger
or an elephant without risk OF bankruptcy.

When that savagest ard most bitter of all
Radical journals, Harper's Weekly, changes
its tone and charges that "there is immense
dissatisfaction in the Republican camp, and
its best men are wondering whether reform
is hopeless within the organization" it is
quite time for every Conservative in the
country to buckle on his armor and prepare
to give the common enemy the coup de grace.
The signs and portents of approaching
dissolution must be Ominous indeed when
the most virulent partizan sheet Of

warning and sharply crticises the adj
ministration and several of the pet schemes
of plunder set on foot by the Radical party.
The New York Tribune, Cincinnati CONNER
cial and Harpers Weekly lost to the party,
the main props of the party may be said to
be gone, and nothing now holds the Repub-
lican party together but "the cohesive power
of public plumber" The thieves are rapidly
getting each other by the ears, however, and
the prospects are that the day Of retrbutlon
is at hand. Let the praying sisterhood out
West turn their attention for a moment from
rum and rum sellers, and join in praying that
that day may speedily arrive.

ACADEMY OF MUsIC.-The performance at
this favorite place of amusement was re-
markably attractive and entertaining last
evening, and the large audience assembled
to enjoy the feast of good things in the way
of wit, music and humor prepared for them
by the enterprising managers took occasion
to manifest their high appreciation of the
same by repeated rounds of applause and
peals of laughter. Limited space forbids
our making mention of each particular per-
formance; but, among others, we would
refer with commentator to the German
specialties of Mr.. Larkin and Miss Arm
strong, who gave true portrayal of orr
Teutonic cousins with their odd peculiari-
ties and broad humor.
Miss Nully Pieris as usual, impressed her
audience very favorably, while Hurley and
Mari surely made hit with their songs and
eccentric dances. The gentlemen seem to
have found the proper thing to please the
public taste-that is if we judge from the
applause which greeted them at their
entrance upon the stage last evening. The
Black Crook, as adapted by Mr.. Cavanagh,
with its many ridiculous and amusing scenes,
it's sallies of wit aud peculiar situations.
proved extremely entertaining. Before clos
ing we cannot fail to mention Miss Jennie
Engel. Possessed of a pleasing physique a
sweet voice and talent in her line, she never
fails to win the hearts of her spectators.

Gently delivered a lecture before the Royal
institution in London upon the slave trade
in Africa. He does not give favorable pros

between Christianity and Mohammedanism.
The Mohammedans quote the Mo>oalc law
and the Koran, and beat the Christians in
the argument Oriental luxury creates the
existing demand for slaves. There is also Il
strong element OF speculation at work to
keep the slave trade alive in Egypt. The

The Cincinnati Enquirer chronicles the
departure of successful young merchant
from that city for st. Louis, because he
failed to find transportation facilities for
the products Of his business, at rates that
would enable him to compete with Others
in the same line of trade. The facilities
afforded by St. Louis are cheaper rates and
more complete transportation facilities.
Here is something for our merchants and
business men to ponder. Until New Or
leans has opened up additional railroad
lines and secured deeper channel to the
Gulf of Mexico, she cannot expect to reap
the full meaaure of prosperity to which her
natural advantages and the enterprise OF
her merchants justly entitle her. The
Enquirer adds that this is not solitary

points, where facilities are grenter taxes
