correct. The natives have been treated sufficiently

what occurred on that Occasi0n:-
The case was one OF an assignee In bankruptcy
named Mansfield against MIR. Sostbene Aaine;
the character OF the case was this; Mansfield as
ton Of Aiaine under some contract with Aiaine;
this did not appear at all IN Mangheld's bankrupt
schedules; Niue. Allaine had recovered judg
ment IN one Of the state courts for separation
belonging 10 her At the time Of the marriage was
decreed to her at the time OF separation; the
Sheriff had taken the plantation Of Mr.. Allaine
with view TO enforcing that claim; there
them on the simple suggestion OF the
Attorney In Bankruptcy that the bankrupt had
some interest in that estate there was no other
evidence than this suggestion on the records OF
any claim on the property, either by Mansfield or
by the assignee, and an on1cer was sent there to
seize the plantation; there was also an injunc-
ton obtained, ex parte, without notice, and,
ing; was engaged by Mrs. Aliane TO have those
proceedings set aside. and night session was ap-
pointed for an argument OF the case, and went
there; the papers mad got hold Of this matter IN
some previous discussion and made good deal OF

moved to ADJOURN saying that the discussion should
be made In the day time this was night session

and stated the aspersions OF them had moth

case, and tnereupon the Judge broke out In very
loud and very insulting tone, assuming that had
prepared these pieces IN the newspapers and sgnt-
lying that should not Overawe the Court; rose
to reply to him and he turned his lace to me;
saw at once that he was drunk and made no re.
ply and he adjourned the Court; OF course had
nothing to do with the newspapers or any publica-
tons concerning him in them.

The mightiest statesman in the world is a
tall, bald man, with some white hair He
wears a military uniform to please the SOW
ereign, though he is rather inclined to ease
and looseness, having certain flabbiness of
flesh, and stomach not easy in tight clothes.
But the man is very upright, very strong,
very pleasant, very affable. He is SO won
derfully elastic in his movements that he
might be an India rubber man. He looks in
robust heassl till examined closely, and then
an observer begins to notice painful spasms
and contractions of the face, which reveal
over excited nerves. In manner he is roll
licking, Over-bearing man. Wife, children
and friends stand in awe of him. He will
not even listen 10 remOnstrance, still less to
contradiction. He strides over his enemies
and acquaintance, nOdding to the latter as
he puts lis foot upon the former. The man
is OF giant appetite for work and food. He
eats cold sausages and black bread, served
without table-cloth, for breakfast. His din
ner is of mighty meats in plenty washed down
or t1Oated in large goblets OF strong brandy.
He smokes and works and talks perpetually
His home is like volcano in constant erup-
ton. His secretaries cannot stand his work
long; they are obliged to give in from sheer
exhaustion. Prince Bismark is very funny
when pleased; very formidable, very rash
very impudent at all times. He is not
far-sighted man, or he would not have
rushed into religious war so abruptly. He
is rather an astOnished man, who has be-
come mighty in spite of errors; often be-
cause of errors, and who believes that every
thing may be done by courage and oppor-
tunity

THE LAND OF THE WHITE ELEPHANT. New
York: Harper & Brothers. New Orleans
Kahn Il Co.
The volume bearing the above somewhat
peculiar title is a description Of travels
personal adventures, etc, in Farther India
and other countries of Southwestern Asia
where the white elephant is principally
found, and is regarded as an object OF the
deepest veneratlOn, treated with more thar
royal honors where the possession of one
or more of these sacred animals is esteemed
public blessing, the source OF prosperity
of all kinds, and their death mOurned az
national calamity. 1t was probably
this striking characteristic OF the reilglOn
and superstition of the countries through
which he journeyed which. impressing the
authors mind more forcbly even than any
national or personal pecnliarities, induced
him to select SO decidedly original title fol-
his work.
From first to last, we think, the interest OF
even an ordinarily Indifferent reader in these
travels will not flag. The attention arrested
at the very outset is retained through the
many varying scenes and tortuous wlndlngs
of the Indian rivers over which we pass
Tin fancy) nor are we allowed to re-
main at any one place I'LL we ma
it bore, or to converse with the
various individuals encountered therein,
las we have sometimes been compelled to do
under similar circunstances.)-t We lose
our tempers and feel inclined to quarrel at
the numerous interruptions to our journey,
on which in the present instance we find
ourselves more anxious to proceed the fur
ther we 60. Everything is told in simple,
straightforward manner, and is to the pur-
pose of the book. There is no straining after
effect, no high sounding periods, scarcely
any like an attempt at picturesque descrip-
ton, and hardly a quotation to be found
throughout. All this is very different
from books of travel as they usu-
ally are, but perhaps the author was
aware that his forte did not lie in word
painting the construction Of glowing sea
fences, or the cOloring of gorgeous scenes,
or he may have thought, and rightly, that
the cOnciseness of the narrative, the evil
IDENTIFY plain unvarnished truth of each state
ment he makes would prove not the least of
the attraction of his work. The countries
treated of beside India are Burma, Siam,
CambOdia and Cochin China.
The volume is embellished with hand
some engravings of various objects of inter-
est to be found in these cOuntries-cities,
temples, public lersOnages, palaces, pa
godas-some of which last appear to be
marvels of beauty, grace, and-but we have
said enough, further than this let the
white Elephant speak for itself.

and large and brilliant company. The
Marquis, who was unanimously re-
elected Grand Master for the year
commencing after St. Johns Day, referring
to remarks which had been made as to the
marked prosperity of the Order under his
LordshiP,. said that the prosperity was not
due to him, for when he became Grand
Master there fell to him the heritage of

of a quarter Of a century Lord Zetland ~

succeeding to that it was easy to rule Dur

said, the true Masonic spirit with which the

Upon the CORY field Of fame,
Where warriors win transient name,
Amid the wreathing cannon smoke,
Where falls the deadly sabre stroke,
Our great defender played his part.
Where every yeoman barred his heart.
When doubt had paralyzed his lines.
Confused his skillful. great designs,
He called upon his faithful band,
Assembled there from Southern land,
To bear aloft the lightning steel,
And make the tyrants vengeance feel.
When war his brazen trumpet blew,
Together called his hellish crew,
And lighted up the land with fame
To mark his bloody path of shame,
Our gallant soldier swore aloud
To give each foe a ready shroud.
As shouts of victory rent the sky,
He glad y closed his fading eye
His gallant spirit took its fight
To the distant home of great delight,
Where peace and pleasure ever flow,
And Iau. hit is ever he ard of woe.
With heroes patriotic, brave,
Who fill the honored soldiers grave,
He roams among celestial bowers.
Where swiftly pass UNDECIDED hours,
And sees the systems as they roll,
While larger, greater grows his soul.
With Washington and William Tell,
He views the point whence Satan fell
Beholds the comets in their fight
Around the universal height,
And mutelv gazes on the rays
That ret the plains of heaven ablaze.
