Professor John Fiske,

A correspondent of the New York Post gives
the following pen picture of John Fiske, who
lectured in this city lately on the Aryans. Al.
ter speaking of the Rev. Joseph Cook, it says:
Professor Fiske is even younger, but has
done an incredible amount of hard study; and
his vast learning is appalling to the ordinary
mind. Well known as he is in this country
his reputation is yet higher in Europe, where
he takes rank as leading Darwinan and
scholar of great attainments His mind is so
clear that it is said he never copies his manu-
script, writes slowly-the right thought follow
ing its predecessor with unerring precision, the
tit word dropping into its place; and with this
enviable faculty of composition, of understand
ing thoroughly and putting on paper just as he
has it in mind what he sees so clearly, be
works right on far into the night, scarcely feel
ing the need which most writer's have OF mental
rest. He is SO deliberate and to be relied on
that once seeing the man, and knowing his dill
lgeuce and habits of investigation and method
OF writing, you cannot entertain doubt that
he will accomplish whatever he sets himself to
do. He has gigantic power of working, of
holding on to subject till he has satisfied HIM
self.
Like Mr.. Cook he is of very simple and
sincere nature; and like him, of Saxon COM
pexion and hair, though of different type.
He has rosy face, auburn beard and hair
the latter in short, crisp curls-and brown eyes
as rourd as marbles, which seen through the
siaoseS no Always wears, seeu 10 nave just
looked up from some absorbing study and to
be scarcely yet ready to take in the common
scenes of life. His is not changeful counte-
nance, but of about the same calm, self.reliant
expression on all occasions, as if he took the
world philosophically and was!always in good
humor with it. He is solid inclined to the
sluggish in build and motion, and is slow of
utterance, speaking in measured phrases with
his teeth half shut, showing no fexibiity of
tone OF change of the muscles, but enunciatiug

halt on some word, yet going forward steadily
with what he has in mind, always giving you
the assurance of a great amount Of reserved
power-resources that are insxhaustible. In
his gait there is corresponding deliberateness;
he is heavy and poudsrous, but you are sure
that he is swinging himself along with that
elephantine tread of his at a rate which will
tell against much swifter walker in the end.

The French Crisis.

Inc p0lltlcal SITUATION IN france is alarm
ing not because of the change of cabinet, but
because of the manner in which the change
was made. Since the Republic was estab-
lished in 1871 there have been ten changes of
ministry, and it was only last December that
the Jules Simon cabinet came into office.
Heretofore cabinet officers have only given up
their portfolios when they have failed to re-
ceive the support Of the Assembly and after
it had become evident that the country de-
sired change of measures or men. But the
ministry of Simon appeared to be a thorough
ly popular one, enjoying the confidence of the
people and commanding the support of a
large majority in the legislative chambers.
Its dismissal is opposed to the very spirit of
in the direction of personal government Had
that dismissal been followed up by an imme-
date dissolution Of the Assembly and an ap
peal to the people through the voting urns
the action might have been justified. But
instead of so doing the Marshal President has
suspended the sittings of the legislature, and
is about to attempt to govern the country
without its aid through ministry hostile to
its majority.
The reason given for the action of the Ex-
ecutive, difference of opinion between the
Cabinet and President in regard to the press
laws is only pretext. The real reason is a
determination to get control of the electoral
machinery. To effect this purpose the NUM-
cipal councils must be manipulated. The
months recess will, it is thought by the re-.
actonists, give the new ministry the neces-
sary time and opportunity to prepare for the
elections. At the end of the month the As
sembly will be convened only to be dissolved,
an election will be ordered, and the new pre-
fects are expected to secure the return of a
reactionist Assembly. Meanwhile the Presi-
dent holds himself responsible to France
alone" which means that he holds himself
responsible to no one, for he refuses to ac-
knowledge the authority of the representa-
tives of the people. The majority in the
Assembly are enraged, and resort to force
is not impossible. The wiser course for the
Republicans would seem to be to wait quiet
ly until the new elections are ordered, and
then trust to their popular strength to defeat
the intrigues of the reactionists.

THE Russians have hard task before
them on the Danuban frontier. The pas
sage of the Danube cannot be effected with
out heavy loss. The banks of the river and
all the heights in its vicinity are cover ed with
batteries that sweep the surface of the river
in every direction. The passage must be
made in the face Of direct and enfilading
fire. When it is accomplished an attempt
will be made to turn the Turkish quadrilat-
eral, of which Varna, Silistria, Shoumla an d
Rustchuk are the angles, by the swampy
plain of the Dobrudscha, and to cross the
Balkan at the Chenga Pass, after carrying
the entrenched positions of the Turks on the
two railways from the Black Sea to the Dan
ube. Immense difficulties are first to be sur
mounted before this can take place. Desper-
ate resistance must be expected at any one of
the six passes of the Balkan range. They
are easily defensible, as they are narrow and
tofuous, and commanded by dominating
points, whence, behind the shelter of the
rocks, a murderous fire can be poured on ad-
vancing columns.

UNDER existing circumstances the Eastern
State of Roumania consisting of the Princi-
palities of Wallachia and Moldavia, close to
the Russian frontier) has in a manner been
compelled 10 permit the Cars troops to pass
through it in all directions, and to provide for
them subsistence on cash-payment for the
same. 1t is stated, too, that Roumania will
contribute soldiers to the crusade against the
Moslems, and that the Czarhas promised that
at the settlement of affairs after the war
closes, it shall be admitted as an independent
Kingdom into the family of European sover-
eigns. Considering that the whole area of
Roumania (45,642 square miles) is smaller
than that of Pennsylvania, there will not be
much OF kingdom at the best, but the great
river Danube runs through it. The whole
population is under five millions, the yearly
revenue amounts to about $19,0OOOOO, the
national debt to $116, 100000, and its regular
army, infantry and cavalry, to about $4,000.
There is militia also numerous, considering
the limited population of the country. The
sovereign, elected in May, 1866, was Prince
Carl, of the Hohenzollern stock, then twenty
seven years old, and only lieutenant in
Prussian dragon regiment. The preceding
"Hospodar," or Lord, who had been elected
a few years before, was compelled, for his
harsh rule, to abdicate, and the representa-
tives of the people, assembling at Bucharest,
proceeded to new election.

THE more Mr.. Redfeld examines the
South, the more he is convinced that
break in the Democratic party is impossible
for some time to come. He says: ''The de-
mination to mass the whites cf the South
practically into one party and throw solid
South for the Democratic candidate in 1880
will probably succeed. It looks that way
now. In some of the border Southern States
the Republican party, under the wise admin
istration of President Hayes, is making
little progress, but that single Southern
State will be carried for any other party than
the straight Democratic, in 1880, do not
now believe. Those who manifest an inde-
pendent turn of mind will be whipped back
into line, and the old order of fittings continue.
Three years is some distance to see ahead,
but from what observations can make every
one of the 1873 electoral votes of the South
will be given to the Democratic candidate at
the next Presidential election. 1 wish 1
could say otherwise, but the South seems to
me hopelessly solid on national issues, with
no prospect of break sufficient to carry a
single State for any other than the straight
Democratic candidates"

ALTHOUGH Russia's war debt is abou.
81, ,75O,0OO,O00, a sum much less than the
debts Of England, France or the United
States, yet she is not able to negotiate
loan with European bankers at a rate less
than eleven and three.sevenths per cent,
and without the most severe conditions of
security. Turkey has debt of $3.50, 900, 900
and no credit worth mentioning. This be-
ing the situation, the financial condition of
these two countries at the close of an ex-
pensive war may readily be ccniectured.

lust as we were going topress we received the
nainful intelligence of the death of Senator AL
exander B. Cochran. He died at half past sew
on o'clock Monday evening. This sad event,
though not unexpected was sudden, and has
filled the hearts of his relatives friends, and
our people generally, with profound sorrow and
sadness. He was man of warm feelings, gen.
erous impulses, and was devotedly loved by a
large circle of admiring friends and loving
relatives.
He was strong in his likes and dislikes, bold
in the declaration of his opinions. and fearless
in maintaining what he conscientiously be-
lieved to be right
For many years past he has:occupied high po-

This gentleman entered the House of
Delegates in 1869, and has served con-
tinuously since. For six years he was
the Speaker of that body; and we believe
it true that in the history of our State
no man ever occupied that honorable
and important position with more cred
it and with more satisfaction to all par
ties. As member of the House he pur-
sued an independent, patriotic course,
and, however his associates may have
differed with him on matters of public
policy, no one doubts his patriotic de-
votion to the honor and best interests of
Virginia as he understood them. The
State can lily afford to lose his services.
