A NOTED AMERICAN,

Probably no character in our history
is SO hard to analyze as that of Martin
Van Buren. The secret of his power
seems to have died with him. He was
not renowned as an orator, yet he must
have possessed great powers as an advo-
cate, He is not usually credited with
having devised any great public meas
ures, yet, during the most important
epoch of his partys history, every meas
ure to which it owed success not only re-
quired his approval but showed his shap-
ing or modifying touch. He was not emf
nent in debate, but was always leader
of his party in legislation. He is said to
have been personally calm, self-poised
and unconfding. He heard every ones
opinion, but took no ones advice. He
was accounted shrewd and cunning, but
was never accused of personal treachery,
He was cautious to the verge of timidity,
and, at the same time, confident to the
verge of rashness. He never exulted
over victory nor whimpered at defeat He
had few personal friends but an amaz-
ing popular following. In theory he was
the broadest of Democrats; in practice
the most exclusive of aristocrats. None
of his associates seem to have regarded
him with affection, and few of his oppo-
nents looked upon him with animosity.
Perhaps no political life in our history
shows so few mistakes. In no single in
stance did he fail to make the best of the
occasion, viewing it from his own stand.
point, unless it were the last and greatest
of his life-the opportunity to lead the
movement that eventually transformed
the nation. He seems to have had all
mems regards, but to have given none
his trust. By his opponents he was called
cunning; by his followers sagacious.
More justly than almost any other poll
tlcian he may be saidsto have achieved
his own successes. Living, he was the
envy Of all who would succeed; dead, he
has been the model Of unnumbered fail
ures Few statesman would covet his
fame; fewer still do not envy his success,
He is the Sphinx of our history--a hid
den hand in many great events-a man
in whom the elements were so deftly
mixed that no friend knew his heart and
no enemy ever came within bis guard

A STORY OF UPPER EGYPT.

1t is not always safe for a Governor of
province to reside among the people
whom he has plundered and oppressed
and whose families he had entered with
tie lust of that most loathsOme of all
creatures, the Turkish libertine., 1t also
not unfrequentlv happens that the Gov
are nothing but common assassins, who
are called upon to execute the summary
and secret vengence of some Minister or
favorite at court af whom they stand in
awe. A case that occurred while a cor
respondent was in the upper country is
directly to the point. A Turkish official
of high rank-he was a Bey-had long
been fayorite of the KheGive at Cairo,
for they had been educated at France.
This official was therefore a great deal
around the palace, and it occurred to the
Khediye's mother that she would like to
marry off a favorte5 5child of the harem to
gallant officer In receipt of large pay
The Bey was summoned by the Khedive
and told that his mother had found him
a wife-a wondrous creature. OF course
in the East such an intimatiop to SUBJ
ordinate is simply command; yet while
the Bey submitted he secretly chafed at
what he considered gross imposition up
ON fr.s1d, Turkish aristocrat, and an
officer accustomed to European liberties
and customs. The marriage took place
and was grand fete costing many thou
sand dollars. OF course the Bey had
never looked upon her face until after
the nuptial knot was tied, and when he
did neither the countenance or the owner
thereof was to his liking. Two years
went by and the Khedive's mother per-
ceived that the young wife was slowly
pining away: At last persistent inquiry
made the girl disclose that from the very
hour of the ceremony the Bey had declin-
ed to treat her as his wife. The Khe
dives mother-a perfect tigress-hasten-
ed to his Highness and demanded that
the Bey should be put to death instantly.
He could not refuse. The Bey was I'M
mediately seized, conveyed by a guard
1900 miles to the Soudan, and upon his
arrival the Governor General was order
ed to strangle him; but the Governor
General happened to be the lifelong
friend of the condemned man, and allow
ed him to live. Six different orders were
sent to kill him, but not one of them was
obeyed. The writer was the guest of this
gentleman in the Soudan for over two
months and these facts came from his own
lips. A better educated man one seldom
finds in the worlds travels. His books
were Michelet, Vitor Hugo, About, ,Schil-
Ter, Goethe, Heine, Irving, De Tocque-
vile and others He finally joined cara
vans with the writer on a journey of 1900
miles to Cairo and returned to Khartoum
to become Governor General in the very
capital where he had been sent to be put
tC death He has since become Minister
of public Instruction in the service of the
present KhediYe.-Phizadezphia Press.

AS TO AN IMPROBABLE RUMoR.-The
statement that General Grant would bolt
the nomination Of Mr.. Blaine needs con-
frmation On its face, the assertion ap-
pears grossly improbable. It looks so
dubious that we cannot for moment
give its credence At various times the
party and General Grant have held di-
verse views, but it would undoubtedly
Loyalty support him for any Office to
which he might be fairly nominated, and
we are not willing to admit that he would
ever lead revolt, in case his wishes
were not respected the preliminary can
vass To belong to party it is neces-
sary to yield individual opinions and in
dividual preferences many times. 1t is
required on some occasions to vote for
candidates whose nomination was not APP
proved and to stand by tickets which are
disliked. General Grant has a perfect
legal right to leave his party, but that un-
der any probable contingency he will do
so is what we do not consider credible.
He is a strict Republican, and as such it
would be his duty to support Mr.. Blaine
for President should he be nominated.
If the occasion is presented, we predict
that General Grant will be found, as he
has in the past, faithful to the organiza-
ton to which he is so indebted and at.
tached.-Atbany Journal.

We believe New York claims to be the
place where the street bootblack first ap-
peared, but the professional bootblack is
essentially Boston institution. At first
the business was associated with window
washing, chimney sweeping, clothes clean
iEg, and waiting and tending, and the
principal localities were Lindell street,
now Exchange place, Franklin avenue
Brattle street. In time, however, it be-
came distinct branch, and many of the
bootblacks of that day acquired a han
some independence and became real es-
tate holders The custom then was to
call at the house of the gentry, take the
boots and shoes, string them on long poles
and carry them to their respective places
of business, polish and return them at
an early hour next day. These poles
would hold dozen or more pairs, and it
was novel sight to see the bootblacks
passing to and fro. The boots were al
most invariably BACKED on a tree last
Most of the blacking was done by the
week or month, and the bills sent in were
a curiosity in their way. But those were
good old times. The boot-polisher of
that day was an important factor in fash
ionable life, andsthe shine on a gentle
mans boots marked his social standing
as much as the cut and quality of bis
coat, the style of his beaver, or the perfec-
tion Of his linen.

JEFFERSON.

Last Friday evening, the 10:90 train
going north at the second crossing from
the depot, ran over and killed man
named Chas. G. Winters He was q
stranger, having been in town but three
days. His business was REPAIRING and
cleaning scales. He had been doing .
good businets here, and how be happened
to be at that crossing with his box of tools
and bundle of clothing at that time of
night is mystery. He had received
several dollars for work done here, hut
strange to say, not cent of money was
found upon bis person when killed. Sat
urday morning a coroner's jury was i'm
penalled, and testimony in regard to his
death taken. The jury found that ''On

WOMEN IN ENGLAND AND AMER
e.. tTCA.

Perhaps the greatest contrast in Eng
lish society as compared with American
is that in the former a woman's impor-
tance grows with years. whereas in the
latter it declines. At large English
country-house some difficulty arose as to
making room for all the guests expected
at dinner. "Why let those girls Tindi-
eating two pretty young ladies take
their dinner at luncheon time," said an
old peeress, "and come down to the
drawing-room in the evening" We don't
want young girls at dinner; we want
good takers" This old lady was "a IA
nous London dinner giver, and loved "a
feast of reason and flow of soul" Lady
Salisbury, who stands at the head of great
society leaders in London to-day, is 81:
Lady Derby about the same adge, and
many others conspicuous as agreeable en-
tertainers at the same period of life could
be cited. But here, even now, ladies of
such an age seem to deem themselves
shelved. 1t is great pity. A woman
of 90 has knowledge and experience
which, if she be naturally intelligent, can
scarcely fail to make her society conge-
NAL to men of sense, whether they are
young or old. 1t is often remarked by
clever young fellows that their pleasant
est hours at London balls are spent rath-
er in talking to agreeable mothers than
in dancing with their daughters. Moth
ing could improve society here more than
a determination on the part of ladies of
mature age to keep well to the front and
assert themselves.

No CURE For CoNsUMPTIoN.-T
is no cure tor consumption, whether of
the lungs, bowels or kidneys; yet the
patient may be spared to long years Of
life, and the fatal termination kept from
approaching, if Browns Iron Bitters are

weakened parts, restores to healthy ac-
ton the impaired functions, and stops all
decay and wasting-away of the organs af-
fected. 1t is the best life giving medi~
cine ever invented, and thousands of
living witnesses stand ready to affirm
the truth of this assertion. A trial bot

The CAUSES OF CONSUMPTION.- Some
time since we gave an account of the
discovery of DIR. Koch, of Berlin,
that consumption is contagious, and that
tubecular disease isscaused by minute
organism which he calls "bacillus tuber-
culosis." At meeting Of the Cincinnati
Society of Natural History last Tuesday
night, Dr. Langdon exhibited specimens
of this organism obtained from the de-
ceased lung of one cOnsumptive subject
and from the expectoration of another.
These specimens we've the first ever ex-
hibited in this country, DR.. Langdon
described the baciUi as "minute organ
isms or germs, ola fungoid nature, CON
sistiDg each of single cell of proto-

the high magnifying power of a thousand
