Vienna: The porte is buying arms
largely in the United States.
London: The Earl of Kimberly the
colonial secretary, replying to the depu-
tation of the peace society, said; The
slaughter of a portion of the oath regi-
ment by the Beers in South Africa must
be investigated and the garisons re-
lieved. AT the same time, If the Beers
desisted from armed opposition, he did
not despair of some satisfactory ar
rangement.
Berlin: Twenty five thousand persons
were present at the meeting to condemn
the anti-Jewish movement recently in
augurated here. The resolutions ex-
press the greatest indignation that the
city has been the scence of such meet
ings.
London: a dispatch from Buenos
Ayres, dated Jan. 10th, says: The
latest kilograms announce that the
Peruvian army is encamped at Choril-
los, nine miles south of Lima by rail,
and that the Chilians are at Lurin. A
battle is believed to be imminent.
Lima is guarded by the police and
foreign residents. A number ofdyna-
mite mines have been placed at various
points outside of the city.

the senate. Out of a population of
443, 900 there are fully 10000 gentiles,
and these, may say, represent fully
one half the wealth of the territory.

settled nearly all the land. Things are

There are more gentiles in Utah than
the whole population of the territory of
Wyoming, and they certainly have the
right to be heard.

tries quite conscientiously to give her charac-
ters something to do; but they are at their best
when they are at no crisis of fate, but talking,
amusing themselves, existing in pleasant,
everyday fashion. 1t is a gift much more rare
than ihat of the success in inventing clever
plots for novel, to give so finely and delight
fully as Miss Ingelow does, the charm of re-
fined home and to make the persons OF story
alive and memorable by daily sayings and do
ings. But 1t must be allowed that the dramat-
ic movement of her novels is slow, and they
lack certain energy and tone of acquaintance
with the world. Miss Ingelow may we'll be

to other novelists and rely upon the unique

Magazine Notices.

The Atlantic Monthly for March has gener-
Gus installments of the serial stories by Eliza
beth Stuart Phelps and Henry James, Jr.,
both of which are sure to have wide reading
without any special urgency on the part of the
critics. Perhaps the most noteworthy paper
in the number, and one that ought to be read
by every good American citizen, is the Story
of Great Monopoly, by III. d. Lloyd, which
gives an account of the origin and growth of
The Standard Oil Company, revealing the
steps by which, from insignificant beginnings,
power has been grasped which is able to pur.
chase legislatures and courts, and seems almost
equal to defying the authority of the Govern
ment. This is one Of the articles that must
be read. Mr.. Grant Allen, who is we'll known
as an English writer on philosophical subjects,
contributes an article on The Genesis Of Gen.
ius in reply to the article by Mr. William
James on Great Men, Great Thoughts, and the
Environment which appeared in the Atlantic
Tor October All who have read Mr.. James's
article, and the essay in reply to it by Mr.
John flske In the January Atlantic, should
not fail to read Mr.. Aliens article. Another
paper that will be read with general interest Is
The End of the War, by Theodore Bacon.
katharine Darlington furnishes short story
called The Eleventh Hour. Richard Grant
White this time writes Random Recollections
of England. which bring entirely or nearly to
an end series of unusually interesting and
noteworthy essays upon the English people,
their character and customs, which ought to
be, and doubtless will be, gathered into a vol
ume. The number contains poems by DR..
Holmes, Rose Terry Cooke, Frances L. Mace,
and Maurice Thompson. An article on New
York Theatres will attract no little attention.
Another essay by William M. Rossetti on The
Wives of Poets, reviews of recent books, di.
versified Contributors Club, and running
classified account of the books of the month,
conclude an excellent number of this sterling

NEW YORK Times: Just now we are
sympathizing with the oppressed of all ma
tions to an alarming degree. The danger is
that we shall have neither sympathy nor re-
lief for the oppressed and suffering of our
own land. We have killed so many Indians
in our attempts to subjugate and extermin-
ate the original possessors of this country,
that the sacrifice of the Beers in South Afri-
ca seems quite Insignificant in comparison.
If it should have been proposed in the Brit
ish Parliament that the government should
suggest to the President of the United
States that the determination of the Della
wares was an outrage upon humanity, our
human hive would be instantly in commotion.
And every man can remember the scorn
and derision which in old times were heaped
upon the heads of the Exeter hall philan-
thropists, who were accustomed at intervals
to utter mild protest against the barbarity
Of American slavery. The energies of our
peopas just now are required for home use.
neAMns of various kinds languish for lack
of popular sympathy. If the American peo-
pie, in and out of Congress, will only mind
their business, we shall be happier at home
and mere respected abroad.

The Modern Fate of Genius.
I'LL IN. Y. Tribune.l


When little Miss Burney wrote her tedious
romance, all the world was agog; learned men
sat up all night to read it; when Dante died,
every city in Italy endowed chair of exposi-
tion of the wonderful poem; but if Miss Bur-
ney, or even Dante, lived now, the world
would suck the juice out of their works and
then throw them indifferently aside. With
every fresh generation the individual dwin-
dies more and more, and the mighty, rushing
human aggregate grows, asserts itself, and be-
comes of dominant importance. This is dis
heartening, but we can console ourselves that
it is not because individuals were intellectual
giants then and are pigmies now; neither is it
because the world had heartier appreciation
then OF good work. II is only the natural re-
suit OF the general education which has brought
the masses nearer to the Carlyles and Dantes.

The State Valuation.

The State valuation, published in the
PRESS Friday morning, is a gratifying ex-
hibit. The report of the Commissioners
shows that we have gained in both labor
and capital. The polls have increased in
number over seventeen thousand, and the
landed estates in value over eight millions
of dollars. Our wild lands are also worth
nearly eight millions of dollars, and offer
opportunities for Improvement that will, we
hope, be taken advantage of this decade
The gain in real property is greater than the
comparison between the figures of the two
assessments shows; for the assessment of
1870 was made on the basis of deprecated
paper currency.
The advance in wealth, actual and poten-
tial, has been neither great nor rapid; but
it is as much of an advance as a com munity
like that of Maine had any reason to expect.
Our land is not rich enough to invite large
immigration, nor our manufactures extern
sive enough to give employment to great
numbers of people from other parts of the
countryor from foreign lands. But this should
be considered: in decade one half of which
was marked by a commercial and financial
prostration more severe than any in our
history, Maine has gained in men and
wealth. All the counties show an increase
in polls, and ten of the sixteen an increase
in valuation.
The Commission has done it's work well,
and the valuation it has made is believed to
be the most fair and equitable ever made in
this State. The report it submits TO the
Legislature will soon come up for action,
and doubtless will receive the consideration
and approval its makers have earned.
PHILADELPHIA Press: Tcwnshend of IL
linois has introduced a bill into the House
Of Representatives changing the time of the
meeting of Congress from the first Monday
of December to the first Monday of Novem-
ber. That would be a change with but lit
tie improvement The House of Represen-
tatives now holds it's first regular session
thirteen months after its members are chos-
en-. Townshend's bill would cut down the
interval one month, whereas it might to ad-
vantage be cut down fully eleven months.
The Forty-seventh Congress was chosen on
the first Tuesday of November. 1t could
just as easily have met on the first Monday
in December as the Forty-sixth Congress.
and would much more nearly have repre-
sented the present wishes of the people of
this country than does body chosen two
years ago under different influences and
measurably for different objects. The De
cember session of Congress is an unprofita-
BILE one, anyhow. The time OF meeting
might as well be postponed to January and
then be that of the Congress last elected.
This would do away with the present vic
ious practice Of allowing members who have
been rejected by their constituents to con-
tinue to represent or misrepresent them for
session, aud would make the House
more distinctly and Immediately represen-
tative body. If Mr.. Townshend thinks it
worth his while to try and amend the law
he might as well incidentally at the same
time try to improve it.
