Russin's Prestige i'm Central Asia.

In the interesting letter which we print
this morning from our correspondent at
Kuldja the readers of the Herald are
treated to q study of Asian life
that has never before been drawn
by journalist. He sounds the key
note of Chinese policy-the wonderful
and unswerving policy of patience. The
is q mere boy; but generation
hence he will be man. Now he
has only eight wives; in few years
he may have a hundred. 1t is true that in
1871 the Province of Kuldja, on the
extreme western confines of this
vast Empire, was subjugated by the
Russians, but the idea of surrender
ing it never entered the imperial head.
A full quarter of the century remained in
which to repair the injury. A few rebel
lions at home, few heads, more or
less, all minor details, and the graver
upon. few years were occupied
in the selection of ambassadors to His I'm
perial Majesty the Gar, and in due
course of time they set out by sea
for ST. Petersburg. They devoted sew
eral months to laying their case before
the Emperor of all the Russias. However
little disposed he may have been to yield
the rich province and the valued prestige
which its loss would entail the sacrifice
had to be made. In fine, China in
tended to fight. She would start one
army to-day, another next week, another
next month, another every month to the
end of time. One army might be utterly
annihilated. the next dispersed, the next
checked; but Judgement would be
effected ultimately. The cohorts of
the Empire would come as comes
the daylight. from the eastward, never to
return. The weight of such high-fown
language in the politics Of Central Asia
cannot be denied. Undern cath the fanci-
full phrases of the Flowery Land the Gear
saw himself face to face with facts
and fierce fighting The information
which the Governor of Kuldja was so
anxious to know has reached us by the
cable. Russia is to receive q money COM
pensation for her good offices in restoring
quiet in the province. But what is to
become of the hero of our correspondents s
letter, Bouchery, the prosperous Bouchery !?

THE WEATHER.-The progress of the cyclonic
disturbance that moved northward from the
Western Gulf on Friday has not been very
rapid during the past twenty-four hours, but its
influence has extended itself over a very large
area. Its centre is now over Ohio and is travel
ling in a northeasterly direction, so that we are
likely to experience much of the bad weather
that attends it. The disturbance that passed
from the St. Lawrence Valley to Nova Scotia
has commenced to move into the ocean, attended
by light rains. 1t is followed in the northern dis
tricts by tongue of high barometer that moved
down from over Upper Canada. The pressure
Is below the mean in all sections of the country.
and il is probable that il will continue 80
until the middle of the week. Rain has fallen
in all the districts east of the Rocky Mountains
except over the upper lakes and on the Western
Gulf coast. 1t was heaviest in the Central Mis-
sissippi Valley, while the centre of the disturb
snce, before referred to- was passing early YES
terday. The temperature rose in the Gulf,
South Atlantic States and the Northwest. re-
mained nearly stationary in the Middle Atlantic
States and fell elsewhere. The winds have been
from fresh to brisk in the central valley
districts and the Northwest, fresh on the
Middle Atlantic and New England coasts, and
generally light in the other districts. The APP
preaching storm centre will develop energy
when passing off the Middle Atlantic coast aud
will probably merge with the disturbance that
IL now going off from Nova Scotia. The weather
over the British Islands is cloudy and threaten
ing The weather in New York and its vicinity
to-day will be warm and cloudy, with rains aud
possibly increasing winds. Tomorrow it prom
ises to be cooler and cloudy, with rains ia the
early portion, followed by clearing weather.

A New Picture of Secretary sherman.

Secretary Schurz is reported. in a Wash
ington despatch to the Baltimore Sun, which
we reprint elsewhere, to have recently
spoken his mind very plainly about the
Grant movement. He says he cannot sup
port General Grant but he gives very
good account of Secretary Sherman, who, it
seems, has been the Jealous friend and sup
porter of President Hayes Southern policy
from the beginning, and by joining Mr..
Schurz, Mr.. Evarts and Mr.. Key in favor
of it Immediately after Mr.. Hayes ac-
cession, made majority Of the Cab met
favorable to that wise and constitutional
way. 1t will be remembered that Senator
Morton also supported Mr.. Hayes in his
determination to return to constitutional
methods in regard to the South. Mr..
Schurz's account of General Sherman is in
teresting and valuable.

MIR. Gladstone on Axes.

In an address at Chester Mr.. Gladstone
had a word to say on axes, and on the COM
parison of axes. English and American; and
If his words are to be accepted as the sum
of ''what he knows about axes we believe
the judgment on this side the sea will be
that this is, at least, one subject en- which
this ample and well-nigh universal man
knows very little. He said 'the American
axe is an axe not intended to cut a tree
quickly. The American does not care a
pin about beauty of work; his object is
to clear the ground" Presumably and as
the other side of the comparison the Eng
lsh axe is intended to cut tree away
neatly and not quickly, and the object of
the British woodchopper is not SO much to
get his timber as to make an artistic stump.
Woodmen who take especial pride in
the stump they make are not unknown in
this land of utility; but it is certainly true
that the greatest measure of anxiety with
our woodcutters is on the more practical
points, not merely on clearing the ground,
but on that and on getting timber together.
And if the American axe is made
with view to these ends only, and
is in an eminent degree adapted to them.
then it possesses in a superior degree that
beauty which consists in the exact adapta-
tion of an instrument to the labor to be
performed with 1t. But as to the fitness of
well, that depends upon what hands are on
the helve. Perhaps Mr.. Gladstone cannot
cut neatly with one but if the choppers of
his neighborhood are disposed to an inter-
national match with axes in the timber we
can produce fellows who will make prettier
twenty to hundred patterns of American
axes, and different forms are preferred in
different parts of the country. They are
not alike in beauty, but the good speci-
mems are the handsomest axes in the world; !;
handsome as they address themselves SIM
ply to the eye with the appearance of seduc-
tive tools-axes whose mere aspect would
induce George Washington even in mature
years to try the swing for just one whack
on even his own, much more his fathers
cherry tree. They are handsome also in the
sense referred to of fitness for the service
expected OF them. For Mr.. Gladstone to
compare the clumsy and barbar
Gus English axe-which is made on
q pattern descended from the stone age
with an American axe, shows how COM
pletely his education has been neglected.
Every American axe maker should forth
with send him an axe-especially the pro-
ducers of handmade axes-expenses pre-
paid. But they must be first fitted with
handles, for an Englishman does not know
how to hang an American axe.

The CHARGEs-or insinuations-of Judge

much talk that representative of the HERALD
has been closely questioning the secretary of

course with Ward, Hanans trainer. IL is hard
to imagine more positive language than these

GROWING OLD.

forget 1t Is autumn, my darling,
That sprlngtime and summer are gone
forget that my sub moving westward
Has left me no trace of the dawn.
forget that my harvest is coming,
My time of ripe fruit and full sheaves;
And | see but the glow of the morning,
And the CLEAN Of the dew on the leaves
I am strong in my love, @ my darling,
My eyes see no sky overcast;
I gather no gloom for the future
In wasted or wandering past,
I have wrought a mans work with the
many,
have made in the world my own place,
But Yainly. after my striving,
1 miss now the light Of your face.
IF my step has forgotten its lightness,
NY voice the glad ring of its youth,
My name is unsullied in whiteness,
Ny lips have no stain on their truth;
And the deep lines Of care on my fore
head,
Are less for the years than for the sorrows
Which you, darling, never shall bear.
I have fought for US both, 0 my darling,
The wearlsome battle of years,
So better can shelter my treasure
In places of struggle and tears.
l shall lose all the scars and the sadness
In love that is making me strong,
That brings 10 my heart the old glad
ness,
And gives to my lips new song.
I hold my arms open, my darling,
And, safe in my sheltering breast,
Down through the years l will crown you
Queen in my kingdom of rest.
Without you, love, darker and colder
Wo Id life's surge of bitterness roll,
And without you, l can not grow older,
For love is the youth of the soul.
