The WEATHER.-Thc storm centre that was
developed over the Middle Atlantic and New

the Atlantic. The pressure within the area Of
disturbance fell very quickly as the centre
approached the coast line. and the indications
last evening were that the storm would be felt
considerably on The ocean north of latitude

the lakes and the Northwest, aud is highest in
the region of Manitoba. 1t il also relatively

lower lakes to Texas has not changed
its position very much. The pressure within it
has increased, however, except at the south
western extremity, where n slight fall occurred,
and it is probable that depression will advance
toward the Central and Lower Mississippi val

General Grant in Japan.

The Japanese government intend to
give General Grant a reception Gin all re-
spects identical with what would be &C.
corded to the reigning monarch Of any
European country" That is right. We
are all sovereigns here, and General Grant
has played much greater part in history
than any European ruler now living. He
will probably be bored by all the fuss,
but he must be pretty well used to it
by this time, and he must have got
some amusement out of a circumstance
which appears to have excited, the tLittle
Peddlington" which calls itself the "for-
eign colony" in Yokohama. The British
Admiral, it seems, has been running away
from the General for some months. He
ran away from Hong Kong just before
Grant got there ran away from Shanghai
again and now he leaves Yokohama
as the General arrives and, horri-
BILE to relate, takes the British Min
lister with him. They say he goes to
sea to avoid firing royal salute for Grant,
who has in his time smelled SO much gun
powder that we suspect fwenty-one guns
more or less do not matter to him. What
we regard as of the greatest Importance is
that Governor Pope Hennessy, of Hong
Kong. who is now visiting Japan, strongly
disapproves of Admiral Coates running
away. If Governor Hennessy should catch
Admiral Coates we hope he will tell him
that he need not be afraid-Ge eral Grant
would not bite him. In fact, he might not
have known of his existence if he had
stood still.

The extreme importance of saving the
country will hold the politicians of both
sides excused next year for few ''clerical
errors;" but the elections this year are SO
few and unimportant that, really, misrepre-
sentations-let US call them-ought to be
avoided, if only to make them more effec-
tive in the Presidential canvass.
1t is in the interest not SO much of truth,
therefore, as of the effe ctiveness of next
years patriotic appeals that we call atten-
ton to ''clerical error" which is just now
injuring the republican chances in 1880.
The Charleston Ne,cs and Courier, in the
course of an article strongly and right
eously condemning an attempt to prevent
notorious negro named Swails from
living at his home, remarks that 'fhings
were done in the canvass of 1876 and 1873
again. whereupon some Northern re-
publican journals set up q cry that
here is confession of wrong doing Well,
yes; and it would be a good thing If the
republicans should join in the Ne,os and
Courier's words. We all know that in the
canvass of 1876 things were done by the
republican party which ''cannot and must
not be done again." and if the South Caro-
lima canvass of 1873 were closely examined
it would be discovered that even in that
year the republicans, in those parts where
they hold the power, did things which it
would be well if they repented of.
We are not excusing the South Carolina
q 4 s~:~ T. Al =
Courier in the demand that Swails be left
unmolested. He is q bad fellow-we have
seen the evidence of that-but he is no
worse than many South Carolina democrats
who think themselves respectable men.
and it will not do to modest him.
do better to encourage and support such
appeals for justice and good sense as the
Ners and Courier makes than to seize upon
them as occasions for reviling the South.
The Neacs says -''Swails is an arrant
knave. Are the people of Williamsburg
afraid of him? The courts will take in
slant cognizance of any offence that he
may commit SO long as he is not tried
and convicted he has the same right to live
in peace and quiet in Williamsburg county,
or any other county, that any other citizen
of the State has, whether white or black"
Surely that is not sentiment which
ought to be sneered at And surely the
republicans ought to be careful not to fix
public attention too closely on the events
of 1876 and 1878. They cannot afford to have
it remembered that the famous, or rather
infamous, tissue ballots used by the South
Carolina democrats last year were o repub-
lican invention used first by that party in
1876 to carry the Florida election they
should be glad to have 1t forgotten that in
the Sea Island region of South Carolina
it was less possible for democrats to gain
safe hearing than in the uplands for q
republican to make himself heard in quiet.
So far as the South is concerned the repub-
licans live in very ugly glass house, and
they ought to prohibit their people from
throwing stones

LITERATURE.

MATTHEW ARNOLD ON WORDSWORTH Poem
BY DEAN STANLEY.
The July Macmillan is an interesting number. and
opens with an able and appreciative essay on
Wordsworth, by Matthew Arnold Mr.. Arnold
contends that Wordsworth had his greatest popu-
larity between the years 1880 and 1910. But his
popularity never had any substantial results. for
Mr.. Arnold has heard him say that for many years
his poetry did not bring him in enough money to
buy his shoestrings. Not even yet does Mr.. Arnold
think that Wordsworth has had his deserts. though
his eulogists have praised him well. This critic
places him next to Shakespeare and Milton of Eng
lish poets. and higher than any poet ON the Cont.
ncnt after Molierc. excepting Goethe. Mr.. Arnold
concludes by saying of Wordsworth
He is one Of the very chief glories of English
poetry, and by nothing 10 England SO glorious AZ by
her poetry. Let US lay aside every weight which

corning his poems :-"They will corporate with the
benign tendencies in human nature and society, and
will. in their degree, DO eficacious In making men

The same number OF Macmillan contains the FOB
lowing hymn by the Dean of Westminster. writes
for st. John the Baptist's Day;-
Who shall DO the last great seer
That the world goes forth to hcarf
What shall be his warning cry
When the day Of doom draws nigh?
Whence shall come the magic power
That in mans supremest hour
Smooths the rough and rugged road
For the highway OF our God?
Few and short the words he speaks;
Plain and straight the goal he seekss
Round his path shall never shine
Festal pomp nor wondrous sign: .N.
Lonely course and hopeless fight.

HOW PARROTS LEARN TO TALK,
London Lancet.l

LLonuon Lancet.1
Tho interesting sketch of the " History
of My Parrot" which Dr.. Wilkes con-
tributes TO the current number OF the
Journal of Mental Science, deserves a
passing note. The comparative study
of facts of tarcommunicstion among
men and among animals necessitatss the
admission that animals possess language
aud the mechanism and apparatus for
articulate speech in those snimAls which
possess it do not differ from those of
man. A bird learns to speak by imita.
tion, through the organs of hearing, and
in manner very similar to that in which
children learn words and sentences, and
the bird peaks on special occasions in
consequeI 20 OF some association or sug-
gestion, the usuai provocative for set
speschss at all periods Of human life. y

ably working at the Sentence by itself
AT first it is only able to get out the first
word or two, then more and more, until
1t has the power of uttering the whole.
ln just the same way child will learn q
French sentence. A sentence is soon
lost by the parrot it not freque ntly
uttered, and the last words are lost first; !;
the first words-those most readily &C.
quired-are lost last. Speech of the
bird on any given occasion IS due to sug-
gsstion-the presence OF the person OF
object with which the words were first
associated. OF this DR.. Wilkes gives
several striking incidents, as "halt-past
two" whenever th- coRchman comes for
orders. "go to sleep" when approached
after dark, "give me bit" when dinner
appears and cheese when the cheese
is put upon the table. a soupd like water
being poured out whenever jug of
water is brought in. Thus the birds
associate words or sounds with objects,
and, where the right names have been
taught, it may bs said to know their
names; more, the b,rd invents names,
making u particular sound, which had
never be taught, whenever nuts were
broush, upon the table. Tue SIGHT OF u
Cat makes The parrot say mew," AZ the
sight of q train makes = child say "pufi,

Ing that the diff renee between anima,s
aud chlldren are much slighter than are
the explanations which, on the assump-
ton OF instinct in the one case and
reason in The other, We put upon them,
and suggests that the chief difference
between man and animals is to be found
in the smailness of knowledge of the fine
arts possessed by the latter.
