THE Needle has gone. Down at the bottom
of the ocean lies CLEOPATRA = obclisk. Not the
one that New York is to have, but tho other
one. The Khedive gave 1t to the English, and
they foolshly used economy in its transporta-
ton from Egypt to England. They placed the
immense affair upon raft or craft, and at
tempted to tow it through mid-occan. A storm
arose storms often do arise on the ocean; and
the chains or ropes were rent asundcr, and
down went the Needle beneath the bounding
waves. We are told that the mate and five
of the crew of the steamer Olga (the vessel
that was doing the towing were lost while
engaged in saving the lives of the men who
were ON the raft or craft. The loss of life will
not cause much comment; it is unfortunately

Sketch of .IMdge Hnrlan.

Gen. John II. Harlan, OF Louisville, Ky, Is about
fOrty.two years old and Is blessed with remarkable
physical and intellectual powers Ills parents were
natives Of Kentucky, and his father James Harlan
was the distinguished Whig politician who repre-.
sented the Mercer district in Congress from 1896 to
1889 His father also Secretary Of state of Ken
tucky from 1870 to 1874 and from 1850 to the time
of his death In 1868 he Attorney General of the
State. Harlan county, Ky. was named after Gen
Iarlan's grandunclc, who fell In battle with In.
dans In Blue Lick. In 1850, when only twenty
four years Of age. Gen harlan ran for Congress In
the Fuycttc district then called the Eighth on the
Opposition ticket, and. after hard fight, was de.
fcalcd by the Democratic candidate by majority of
only g. In total vote of 1877. When the war broke
out he joined the Union army, and served for two
years rs colonel of the 10Th Kentucky, infantry
The death Of his father then compelled him To
tender his resignation. On returning to civil life
General Harlan settled his fathers estate. and in
the same year 1863 he was elected Attorney Gen.
cral Of the State on the Union ticket which was
headed by the late Gov. Bramlctte. Gen. lIarlnns
majority was 2si2 In n total vote of 1862; Coy.
lhamctte's majority was DNl7. At the close Of mis-
term lie removed to Louisville and resumed the
practice of law. General Harlan Is probably the
best orator In Kentucky and Is one of the ables
and most successful members Of the bar In that
state Talent for 0ratUry is with him natural
! gin. His command of language Is great, and
| his sense 0f humnr keen, but he indulgcS In
few rhetorical ornaments In his speeches.
When only twcnty-One years of age he canvRsscd
! Kentucky for President Fillmore, and there are
/ htltncklhlN Ntll llNlllH WNO SlNNk 'I nus bOllNn
. CluYuCucU In high terms. G"Hrml Harlan has the
respect Of all krntuCkiaus, and his vigorous eau.
vases have made him tnc leader of the Republican
party IN the state. In 1871 General Harlan Whs the
Republican candidate for Governor, and uullvl
Sl29l votes against l2d,iI7 for the democratic can.
lidnr, In lS7i he was again tho Republican rnn'
didHtc, nhd he then increased his vote tu PpIpd
/ against 1880 for tuvcruur MCIfCnry. General
Harlan Is about six feet high. and weighs perhaps
blue eyes, fair complexion aud hair II large head
massive. luny forehead. deep chest aud brUnd
shoulders. Ills power of sClEVputrul Is great and
he has an abundant gcnIality and tact lie |,
probably the most industrious, unliring CnnVnSscl
