Lord Odo Russell, while calling

TO get rid OF that class Of unfortunate
visitors whom he could not well re-.

preferable to their company. "0b y
replied the Chancellor, II have n yerv
simple method. Ny wife knows tboI
pretty well, and when she Sees that
they are with me she generally con-
trllyes to come in and call me away
upon some pretext or other" He had
scarcely finished speaking when the
Princess put her head in at the door
and said; Otto, you must come and
take your medicine. You ought To-
have had it ten minutes ago. Lord
Odo Russell had not till then n idea
that that his room could be moro wei

A NEW STORY ABOUT LINCOLN.
A Curious Statement Concerning His
Famous Gettysburg Speech.

A special dispatch from Washing
ton to the Cincinnati Gazette says
Colonel Ward Lamon, the author of a
Life of Abraham Lincoln" and who
was marshal of the district during his
administration, being present at a dis
cussion which occurred a short time
since over the merits of the now
famous Gettysburg speech, surprised
his hearers with the following state
ment:
81 was present on that memorable
occasion and heard Mr.. Lincoln's
speech. / was never more disappointed
in my life. l felt not only that Mr..
Lincoln had failed to do himself JUS
tice, but that he hid lost a great OBJ
pOrtunity. Mr.. Seward, who was
present, concurred in this opinion,
and told me he had hoped for some
thing better from Mr.. Lincoln. Ed
ward Everett, the orator of the day,
when asked what he thought of the
presidents speech, said to me that it
was not what he had anticipated, and
that Mr.. Lincoln had signally failed to
come up to his expectations. The
opinion of every one who had heard
the speech was that Mr.. Lincoln had
not come up to the occasion, and in
fact had acquitted himself poorly.
The real worth of the immortal words
uttered by Mr.. Lincoln upon the bat
of Gettysburg was not dis
covered until after his assassination

There can be little question that the
present PROSTATE condition of CONT
mental trade is in great measure due
to the enormous burdens laid on the
people by the military policy of their
rulers. How heavy these burdens are
some details taken from a report lately
issued by the Hungarian Ministry will
show, According to this report, (the
object Of which is to exhibit the rela-
tive weakness of the Austro-H Hun
garian forces and advocate an addition
to them,) the military strength of
Russia consists of 3,047, 800 men, of
whom 100000 belong to the reserve
and 2,446,S0O to the standing army.
The regular army of France com
prises 1,6S9,00 0 soldiers of all arms,
the territorial army, 1908
600; total, 2,2S9,OOO to be in
creased in 1892 by the addition of
100000 reserve men to2,723, 900. The
German power of all classes is repre-
sented by 2,O04,500 men, of whom
100000 belong to the standing army,
307 200 to the Landwehr, and $40. 900
to the reserve. Italy has an army of
698.0 and a militia of 10000. In
1882, when the reserve will number
100000, her total strength will reach
2,O24,20O. Austro-H Hungary possesses
a standing army 1880, 900, a Landwehr
of299, 318, and a reserve of95, 900 men:
total, 1,194,3l8. The grand total of
all these forces amounts to 16,471, 918,
the standing armies alone num-
bering 7,925,000. But it must
not be understood that all
the latter are now under
arm; at least half of them are on fur
Tough. They form the first line, and
all would, Of course, be at once called
out in the event of a general war. 1t
is nevertheless true that the crest mil
itary powers have at their DISPOSAL
100000 men who have learned, or
are now learning, the soldier art, and
are bound to ~re-enter the ranks when
required. The mind refuses 10 grasp
the full significance of these porten-
tious figures; but it may safely be
affirmed that, so long as these bloated

1T is announced that a movement is
on foot to send Senator Thurman to
the House of Representatives from
the Columbus, Ohio, district, where
he resides. That district is now Demo
cratic, and though the new Republican
legislature will doubtless gerrymander
the State, it is questionable if they
can change its political character.
Mr.. Thurman was a member of the
House thirty-four years ago. The
Pacific railroad won't care to see him

The Courier journal says: Hayes
said last week that 'he heartily ap-
proved the proposal to send leading
Republican speakers to the Southern
States. He wanted to see the time
when Republican orators would 60 to
Louisiana as freely as to Iowa. He
had urged in his own State Messrs.
Garfield and Foster and others to 90
South, but the trouble was that our
Northern Republican speakers had
calculated on being free from political
work after the Northern State cam
pAigns we're over, and shrunk from
undertaking new campaigns" Mr..
Hayes knows that he could "see the
time" ETC., any time he wants to
or has wanted to since he has
been in the White House. The Lou.
isiana Democrats have cordially in
vited Blaine, Garfield and the other
leaders to come to Louisiana aud
spout as much as they want to. Hayes
knows hat these orators can 60 there
and speak as freely as in Iowa, and
would be freer from interruption and
insult than Grant was at G~alesburg,
ILL.,, the other day. He knows, too,
that the assertion that Republicans
cannot conduct a campaign without
being shot down is repeated to in
fuence Northern voters against the
South. Il is. Of course, a very mean
lie, but Hayes seems determined to
continue to give it currency
