A German General on Washington.

Professor G. w. Greene. In the October
Atlantic, gives these curious utterances
of General Ds Kalb, when serving under
Washington:
He is the most amiable, kind.hearted,
and upright OF men; but as a general he
is too indolent, too slow, and far too
weak; besides, he has tingeof vanity
in his composition, and overestimates
himself. In my opinion, whatever sue
cess he may have will be owing to good
luck and to the blunders Of his adversa-
ries, rather than to his abilities. may
even say Chat he does not know how to
improve upon the grossest blunders of
the enemy. He has not yet overcome
his old prejudices against the French.
This language sounds strangely as ap-
piled to Washington; yet it is historic
ally important to know that it was actu-
ally used, though at the time OF the
Conway cabal, when Washington's ene-
mics were bold and loud. But there is
no reason to suppose that De Kalb was
in any way connected with that infa-
nous intrigue.
A few weeks later his opinion is ma.
terially modified. "He is the bravest and
truest OF men," he writes, "has the best
intentions and a sound judgment.
am convinced that he would accomplish
substantial results il he would only
act more upon his own responsible
ity; but it is pity that he is so weak,
and has the worst OF advisers in the men
who enjoy his confidence" He had
already written, "It Is unfortunate that
w ashington Is so easily led" This is
nearly the language Of Lee ana Reed q
year before. They had all mistaken for
want OF decision the selEdistrust which

Wnlter Scott,s Fir,t Lora.

Writing of the love disappolntments oi
literary lights, a correspondent says
His early disappointment was very bit.
Ter, and although its full details can not
he given it may be said that when he
was poor young barrister, living still
under the paternal roof at Edinburgh, he
fell in love with maiden whose rank
was above his own, and whom he could
not expect to win. Still he hoped against
hope. His father heard of the affair, and
with sober sense of mature years in
formed the Iady's friends of Walters
weakness, and they at once removed the
girl from lhe city.
Scott never knew the cause OF this
change till years afterward, but as the
income of his. profession for five years
averaged only f100 a year, he could not
expect to encounter the expense of do
mestic establishment. The girl married
soon atterward, and one of Scotts
friends was much alarmed for fear OF the
consequences. He writes as follows:
"This is bad news TO one romantic friend,
and now shudder at the violence of his
most irritable and ungOvernable ind.
1t is said that men have died and worms
nave eaten them, but not for love.' l
sincerely hope it may be verified ON this
occasion" Scott did nothing worse than
10 pen a few stanzas, Which are worth
reading in this connection. They are
addressed to the violet, and close thus:
Though fair her gems of azure hue,
Beneath the dew drops weight reclining
Eve seen an eve of lovelier blue,
More sweet through watery luster shining.
The summer sun that dew shall dry,
Ere yet that sun be past its morrow;
Nor longer in my false loves eye
Remained the tear Of parting sorrow.
Before six months had expired this
disappointed lover was as deeply enam-
ored Of another girl whom he met while
on an excursion into the north of En-
gland. She was Of French birth, and is
described as very fascinating.
One of his friends said "Scott was sair
besides himself about Miss Carpenter.
We toasted her twenty times over, he
ravlng about her until it was l in the
morning" The next Christmas they
were married. 1t may be added that the
match was not felIcitous on the part OF
the husband, for although their married
life was harmonious the wife was def
cient in that mental strength which SUCH
a union required. Scout never outlived
the influence exercised on him by his
first love, ana in his later years he wept
at the mention of her name and memory
of old associations.

to a certain extent what effect this
might have upon our own. Instead Of
Transporting her goods to or from her
own ports around the Cape of Good
Hope or Cape Horn, Great Britain's
ships take the comparatively short
route OF the Suez Canal. Instead of
sending our own goods and ships, or the
foreign produced cargoes of the latter,
through canal across the Isthmus of
Panama or Nicaraguas, we send them
around the inhospitable and generally
battling passage of Cape Horn, with not
only the disadvantages of the time lost,
but the Uncertainties of making so dan
gerous passage In safety. Without
going into the data, real or approximate,
OF trade, it will at once appear evident
that the expense of such voyages that
would be saved-insurance wages, dam
gers of loss, etc., by q shorter voyage via
an Isthmus canal-would be a very
large item. Besides this would be the
still greater advantage of putting our
most important port within easy reach
of the regular line between two great
countries and of making this line pay
tribute to American industry and Ameri-
can institutions. Already two steam-
ship lines have been organized to open
trade between New Orleans and the
Eastern ports of South America as soon
as the former port is opened. The trade
Of the Western coast of South America
Is not inconsiderable in amount or i'm
portance and is well worth securing.
With direct communication by the way
OF an inter-oceanic canal this would be
easily gained and Che products of the
mines and of the tropical regions in this
region easily reached.

The papers have kept up continuous
discussion on Mr.. Charles Francis
Adams letter, in which he stated that
his time was pretty well taken up in
writing history, and that he was perhaps
as well employed In that way as he
would be in serving the people as Presi-
dent. The letter was very honest kind
of a one, with nothing in it to elicit the
sharp criticism that has followed it,.
IT Mr.. Adams can write history,
1t is, perhaps, we'll for him to do it, for
there are doubtless plenty OF Of men will
ing to be President who would not be
likely to succeed as historians. Besides
there is large class of people who ad-
NIT Mr.. Adams ability and experience,
but would never help make him Presi-
dent. They consider that his views are
peculiar to himself and the Adams fam
lily, and that he has never been able to
accommodate himself and his statesman
ship to the requirements OF the present
day.

arose from consciousness OF inexpcri-
ence. 1t was not long before De Kalb's
opinion was still further modified. "He
must be very modest man. -. He
did and does more every day than could
be expected from any General in the
world in the same circumstances, and
4. think him the only proper per-
son, by his natural and acquired
capacity, his bravery, good sense, up
rightness, and honesty, to keep up the
spirits OF the army and people, and !.
l look upon him as the sole defender Of
bis country's cause. Thus much l
thought myself obliged TO say on that
head. only could wish in my private
opinion he would take more upon him
self and trust more TO his own excellent
Judgment than to councils"

THE question Of suffrage, which has
been SO long agitated, and about which
30 many conclusions have been reached,
has been of late receiving the attention
of Ex-Congressman Doolittle, and he
steps out with new idea. He would
extend the suffrage by giving every
householder and head of family two
votes, one for himself and one for his
family premium on marriage. Thus.
he thinks, would good government be Sc
cured by placing additional power in
the hands of men most interested in Sc
curing it.

On the morning of Sept. 4, in a house
in Great Peter street, London, a side
board, a bookcase and an iron chest
were found, which were made by Peter
the Great, when he was living as a work
man in England. The London Gazette
of February 9, 1903, describes these ar
ticles, which are said to have remained
where the Gear lett them, and as he left
them, since that time. Latterly they
have been considered rather in the light
of lumber; but having been seen by NJ.
Stanislaus, Pole, they have become
the property Of Russian nobleman,
Gregoire Tschertkof, who intends pre-
senIing them to the Emperor of Russia,

In the library of the Boston and Albany

consists OF engineers, conductors, freight

vest without doubt is very promising
one, but we can't see why the baggage
Bmashers are left out.

AMONG the questions which will proba.
bly, be brought before our able statesmen
at the next session of Congress, is that
annual agony, the Inter-ocean canal.
The attacks of this have become so fire.

a sort of chronic complaint to which the
American Congress Is considered sub.
ject, and its appearance eXctes very
little comment and results in very little
being done in the matter. The scheme,
little more attention than formerly for
two reasons. One of these is that the
6uez Canal is not only completed and in
use, but is said to have become a paying
institution. The other is that the i'm
provement at the mouth Of the Missis-
sippi are likely to add largely to our
commercial and shipping facilities and
business, and the opening Of an immense
transportation line between Europe and
Asia directly past our principal port,
will be likely to have con-
siderable effect upon our com
merce and our relations with
Dther countries. The port of New Or
leans, if properly opened, will be of
great Importance to the country between
the Alleghanies and the Rocky Mount
aims, and will receive the larger proper
tion of its products and imports. The
importance of opening a line OF ocean
travel of such magnitude 80 near to this
Important port can not be questioned.

been said in the frequent presentations

from House to Senate and from Com

times, that the subject in its bearing
