The opening of the new hotel in Ira
falgar Square marks one stage in what
is called characterization in London.
Our cousins tell us that we have not
succeeded in developing the genuine
article; but we have certainly made q
good many steps in that direction
Whether the change is or is not an Inn
provement may be settled by those wise
persons who have made up their minds
as to the true significance of modern
progress. 1t is curious to remark that
the alteration in the character of En-
glish inns was almost the sole case in
which even Macauley could not pre-
serve his entire complacency when COM
pairing our own time with that of our
ancestors. He tries to reconcile HIM
self to the admission of our relative in
feriority by the doubtful consideration
that good inns mean bad roads. 50 1t
is evident" he says, that, all other
circumstances being supposed equal,
inns win be best where the means of
locomotion are worst" In the seven
teenth century q traveller required
twelve or thirteen meals and five or six
nights lodgings between York and
London. Now he finishes his journey
between breakfast and dinner, and his
meals (if the word meal be not dis
honored by applying it to such miscel-
laneous feeding) during the wretched
ten minutes for refreshment. The ar
gument will hardly bear investigation
as it is stated" other circumstances
will certainly not be equal when loco
motion becomes easier. Improved
means Of travelling implies an increased
number of travellers; it means in this
particular case that whole classes
which used to be sedentary have be-
come movable. and that those who
move, move ten times as often as be-
fore. If people make fewer stoppages
between London and York, there can
be no doubt that the number of people
in want of a lodging somewhere has in
creased at much greater rate than
the total population. II the old road.

One of the most curious episodes of
the occupation of Cabul by the English
troops after well-nigh forty years alb
sence is that well-known Major in one
of the Ghoorka battalions finds himself
again in Cabul, his birthplace in the
days of the old occupation. Born in
Cabul he was carried by his mother,

retreat, was borne into captivity, re-

 SHERMAN AND HAMPTON.

A great deal of unnecessary comment has been indulged in by the critics of all parties over the recent political correspondence be- tween Secretary Sherman and Sena- tor Hampton. We are not an spolo- gist for Senator Hampton, nor an advocate of the code duello, but to our way of thinking it is no crime to resent an insult or dsaouncs e wrong, and the principle applies with equal force to a gentleman from the south as we'll as to one from the north. Very much of the low estimate of southern dignity and manhood i'm planted Tn the northern mind has arisen from the submissive manner in which the people of the south have received the taunts and indig- mites heaped upon them by the designing partisans of the north. The idea that civilization prevails only at the north is popular theory in that country, but is is neverths- less an erroneous idea.

The Memphis and Little Rock Railroad is oue of the best managed roads in the Southwest and richly merits the large and increasing pa tronage it is receiving. Its officers are gentlemen we'll versed in rail road management, prompt, obliging and courteous. The following notice of this road from tke Little Rock Democrat is every word true and to the point:
 The Memphis and Little Rock railroad along the eniire distance from this city to Hopefield, presents picture of prosperity and happiness. At the stations new stores are being erected, platforms enlarged, etc, and at every side srack can be seen cars loaded to the roof with cotton and miscellaneous freight. The compa- ny has large number of laborers at work on the track, and the road bed is in first class condition. The pas senger trains make good time, and their northern, eastern and south eastern connections are never failing.

Grant Possessing name and fame superior to any living Amerlcan, it was fair to presume that this illus trious parsonage would so demean himself as to retain the high esteem in which he vas held by the people of not only his native country, but of foreign countries the world over. How great must be the shame, then, which will mantle the cheek Of Americans when their honored citi- zen is pointed to as a living example of hypocrisy, false to his country, to his people, and to himself. No fine ly wrought expl anations can clear the skirts of Gen. Grant, for from his own lips have come the proof, abundant and convincing, of his knavery, dissimulation and dishonor. Our own people will remember when on his southern tour last spring no trusr words were uttered concerning our loyalty, peaceful pursuits and order-loving disposition, than were spoken by Gen. Grant. Six months later, however, the same person de. scsnds to the degrading depths ot partisan politics, and from stump to stump he hurls vituperation, slander and abuse into the very faces of those whose hospitality he enjoyed while here, and deliberately gives tue lie to his former utterances. Thus has Con. Grant forfeited his honor, self respect and the esteem of honorable men in all countries and among all people.
 Thus has risen and fallen a man whose ambition ran riot with hls judgment, and consigned him to the tomb of oblivion, but whose check cred experience, let us hope will prove warning to those who may come after him.

THE HARRISON ROAD.

We have 50 frequently called at- tention to the benefits of the Harri son road and urged upon the mer- chants of Little Rock the importance If their cooperation to secure it's completion, that we have thought that nothing more remained for us to say. But since we see that inter est in the enterprise has again been revived in Little Rock by the few jealous supporters of the project there, we gladly avail ourselves of the opportunity to inform our neigh bors and friends of the northwest that the Russellville and Harrison road has NOT been abandoned, but it's interests arc carefully looked af- ter by watchful friends in this city and in Little Rock.
 The Little Rock Democrat, faith ful friend and advocate of the road, contained the following notes in it's issue of the 29.h ult.:
 "Cole & Dow go fifty dollars on the Harrison road"
 "Wolf < Bro. favor the road from Russellvllle to Harrison" "Fones Bros. arc giving the Harri. son road matter their sincere sup. port. Mir. James Zones is actively at work urging the importance of the matter"
 The Chronicle, of the same city, n.its issue of last Saturday, editori- ally says:
 Parties are again reviving the subject of an improved road from Harrison, Boone County, to Russell. vile. The latter place proposes to give s1.5O0, and the citizens of Lit. tie Rock are asked to contribute $500 for the same purpose. This ws can certainly afford to do. For the want of such road, a large amount of trade, by right belonging to us, goes up to Springfield, Mo. The people of Harrison and vicinity would prefer to send their products in this direction and, in exchange receive the merchandise of our busi ness men. The cotton and corr shipped here from that point after a good road Is made, will soon return the outlay. We can have the trade of that rich section If we want 1t $500 is trifiing sum for g city o 10000 inhabitants and unequaled prosperity.
 These notices are straws which in dicate that Little Rock is at last va king up to the importance of imme diate efforts to secure the immense trahc of the northwest while it i, within their reach.
 The merchants and business mer of Little Rock who have identified themselves with this movement have evincsd a business foresight ant judgement that is creditable to them and which, if emulated by all hel people, will, in the near future, place Little Rock in the front rank o southern business centres.
