a TIMELY ANEcDoTE OF THE GENERAL.
Talking over the splendid traits of General
Steedman as man and soldier, Senator Man
derson, of Nebraska, related to a representa-
tive of THE TRIBUNE, the other day, the fol-
lowing amusing anecdote: Senator Mander-
son then colonel of the Nineteenth Ohio was
on his way TO the front, with his regiment
(veteranized) and had reached Chattanooga,
where General Steedman was in command and,
as it was necessary to change cars there and
obtain new supplies, he sent his quartermaster
to the Generals headquarters to secure his in
dorsement on his (Manderson's) order for ra-
TONS To his astonishnent, however, the
quartermaster returned presently with the in
formation that General Steedman had fatty
refused to honor the order. Puzzled, yet in
dignant at this proceeding. for they were old
friends,) Manderson ordered his horse from the
cars, donned his military trappings and set out
for headquarters to have settlement with the
General. AS he entered the door, Steedman
looked up from his writing and, with a hearty

largely attended by the relics of the late :. un-

to push the amended Robinson bill of last ses-

THE GREAT DIRECTOR.

The New York Sun continues to show
up the virtues of William s. Holman in
double loaded editorials. In the latest
issue it sends him before the country
with the following ''boom," which we
extract from q long article:
Take him all in all, William S. Hol-
man of Indiana is probably the best
equipped legislator in Congress. In
ability, in experience, in close application
to the public business, in knowledge of
the laws and the operations of Govern
ment, and in familiarity with parlia-
mentary practice he has no superior. He
is an astute lawyer, and he served with
general satisfaction as a Judge Of the
Common Pleas for six years, when quite
q young man, before entering Congress,
nearly . quarter of a century ago.
Uniting a sound judgment with a
vigorous, clear and comprehensive mind,
and large source from study and long
training, Mr.. Holman is always master
of his subject in debate. He does not
aspire to eloquence, or to parade in
speech-making. His qualities are emf.
nently practical, and more valuable on
that account.
MI. Holman has not courted the poll
ticians nor labored to obtain Office. He
is . man of the people, chosen by them
to protect their interests. In all the
trusts thus con6ded to his keeping he
has been loyal and unselish; and this is
what can be truthfully said of but few
public men in these times.

Felipe Arellano, Speaker Of the House
Of Representatives, Of Mexico, recently
arrived in San Francisco, according to a
dispatch in yesterdays SENTINEL, says
the building Of railroads has done more
in the last 10 years to develop the great
resources of his country than all that
has been done previously within the
present century. 1t is gratifying to
hear that our southern neighbors are at
last falling into line, and moving toward
a higher and nobler civilization. Mexico
has always been a curious study. With
unbounded wealth, its inhabitants have
led a languid life, content with a mere
existence, and dead to the energy that
has characterized the vigorous growth of
the United States. The country is feel.
ing at last the pushing force Of the nine
teenth century. The world generally il
too busy to permit any part of it Longer
to lie idle. Our capitalists, having Gov
cred their W country with about al
many railroad Systems" as it can wei
carry, are forced into Mexico in search
Of new territory On which to lay ye'
more thousands of miles of track. AND
the railroads there are producing tn

1t has been docils and patriotic on the
part of the German Admiralty to respect
both the feelings and mandates of Bis
marck by ordering the commanders OF
their homeward- bound war vessels to
take aboard only enough American
picked pork to feed the crew during the
voyage, so that none of the accursed
stuff may be landed on the sacred soil OF
Deutschland. But why give it to the
sailors at all? Is the German Jack Tar's
stomach any more proof against trichino.
sis than that of the German peasant,
which all the powers of the empire are
engaged in guarding from the Columbian
hog! To be consistent, the German
sailor should be fed, even in foreign
ports, on anything whatever except this
p~erilous picked pork.

abusing Thomas Hamilton, n of the
most prominent negro politicians in South

prising, for Hamilton hits them hard.
He says that ''all the negroes get for
