There are men in the world who, while
charged with the performance Of great pub
lie duties, are also expected to set examples
of righteous living and just and charitable
dealing. AS is only to be expected, howev-
err, they seldom combine the two sets Of
qualifications In an equal degree; and where
the man Of action decidedly pledominates
over the man of thought, standing before
the world rather as great administrator,
ruler, and orator, than as a great religious
teacher or spiritual guide, the biographer
will adopt the rules which apply to The form
err rather than those which we have indicat-
ed as appropriate to the latter. There is no
more to be said on this point. But there is
final warning to be given which Is appica-
Bile to all Biographies alike. 1t is contained
In the legal maxim sic utere tuo vi alienunp

biographer's task solely in relation TO bis

ton without referring to the interests of
third parties which seem to be totally disre-
garded by many biographers Of the present
day. The author has even less right to pub
fish matter which reflects on the characters
of other people than such as concerns his
own hero only, since he may be supposed TO
be In some sort the depositary and represent
tatiye of his intentions, and 20 be acquainted
with his wishes in regard to posthumous
revelations. There is too much reason to
believe that 10 very many cases he Is not;
but still the presumption is necessarily. in
his favor. Not so, however, with regard to
those persons who are introduced into his
pages without any consent of their own, Civ
en- or implied. OF their names he is bound
to be peculiarly tender, especially when he
knows nothing of their character except
what be finds among the papers Of the de-
ceased, and cannot therefore check the im~
preston which these may be calculated TO
create by any independent or external critic

MRS. S. @, COTTON of New York states
that in the summer Of 1861, Robert Bonner
of the New York Ledger invited Edward
Everett to make an address in New York for
the benefit of the soldiers, and that Mr.. Ey-
erett agreed to it if half the proceeds went to
Boston. Mr. Bonner replied that if he would
consent to let the whole avails OF the address
go to New York he would give Mr.. Everett
81 900 for Boston. This was done, and re-
suited in over $1,000 for the New York
fund, while Mr.. Bonner gave 81 900 to Mr..
Everett for the fund at Boston. Mr.. Cotton
says this incident was never before made
public. tits not surprising, however, that
Ii never was. There are few men in the
country whose left hands know so little Of
what their right hands do, as is the case
with Mr.. Bonner.

THE English Tories have of late been TAX
ing stock of their intellectual capital, and
have been obliged TO assent 10 the somewhat
Notifying conclusion that they were good
deal inferior in this respect to their oppo-
opponents-the Liberals being far better
equipped in point of literary tai MT, as well
as in the journalistic and serial channels for
its utilization. However, the English Tories
have elnsoled themselves with the thought
that there must be a good deal of ''latent
talent" in their ranks. and with a view to its
exploitation have established new maya
zine. the National Review. on strictly party
basis. 1t is to be Tory clear through from
cover to cover, not in politics only, but in
everything. England is large constituent
cy, and there may be enough people who are
sufficiently in antagonism 20 the nineteenth
century to make such a venture profitable.

TaE Memphis policeman who arrested
Gen. Chalmers and Gen. Galloway the other
day, and had each put under bonds to keep
the peace, deserves the thanks of law-abid-
ing people the country over. He is white
man. He knows something about the meth
DDS of civilized communities, and appreci-
ates them. If every citizen of the South
were equally intelligent there would be in
that part of the country no market for re-
volvers and shotguns. When man thinks
another is likely to assault him, the South
ern way-the way of those who appear to
control public opinion in the South-is to
shoot the suspected person in his tracks.
The better Northern way is to have him put
under bonds to keep the peace. This plan
is much more conducive to public order than
the other.

With these volumes the series Campaigns
of the Civil War is completed. Thv books
cover infinitely the whole history of the great
conflict Of 1865 and bripg together for the
first time fnll and authoritative military
record of the events which finally resulted
in the suppression Of the rebellion. From
The Outbreak OF the Rebellion, by Mr.. Nico-
Law, to this, the closing volume, there is a
harmony and thoroaghness little less than
remarkable. Gen. Humphreys book is the
longest and most important of tho twelve
volumes, and will be oftenest consulted,
since it treats Of the most decisive and formi.
dable matters of the war. Fine maps of the
scene of the conflict are appended, aud in all
respects Gen. Humphrey book is worthy
and notable historical work.
Colonel Pbistsrer's book is what was ne
cessary to make the series absolutely com
plete. 1t furnishes in a convenient shape
the details of statistical information which
one is not likely to fad in any other compact
form. 1t includes a lis, Of all organizations
mustered into the U. S. service, the strength
of the army at various periods. its ofganiza-
ton into army corps, ETC., chronological
list of all engagements, with the losses in
each, tabulated statements OF all losses in
the war, the causes Of death, and an extreme
ly valuable list of the names and ranks Of
all general officers. The importance and
great utility of the book will be at once rec
ognized by all who take an active interest in
the history of the war, or for that matter in
the history of the people of America.

A JUDGE in St. Louis has discharged a
master Of public school who was prosecut-
ed for whipping boy after milder punish
ment had been of no avail. The court found
that in order TO preserve discipline, the
teacher must determine the necessity, the
nature, and extent Of punishment, his acts,
like those of parent, being subject to ju-
dicial review. The judge also said: -Four
years experience in the administration of
criminal law conyinces me that the boys
who become criminals are boys who don't
get whipped: and when it is remembered that
large percentage OF the holder crimes
known to the law is committed by youths
ranging in age from IA to 20 years, the ques-

ADyICEs from Panama say that the minis

company that it must pay the expenses of
keeping between two thousand and three
thousand men on the isthmus to maintain
order. BE estimates that the cost Of this
service during the fourteen years contract
grants for the compile ion Of the canal will
amount to 100000 and may reach $780,
100000 or $1,000 900. The expenses in
Cured by the company in getting ready to
commence its work have largely exceeded
the estimates, and this new burden is an un-
expectedly large addition. The Panama ca

The Refused Degree.

The oyerseers of Harydri College did an
exceedingly stupid thing in refusing to con-
fer The degree Of Doctor Of Laws upon the
Govern Of the Commonwealth of Massa-
chusettss The honor has been repeatedly con-
ferred on men who knew no law, and on those
whose private standing and professional
ability were, to phrase ii in the mildest way,
no better than that of Gen. Butler. This
much is certain: Butler is one of the first
lawyers in The country, and if thorough cd
ucatian in the principles Of law, ard extern
sive aud successful application of these
principles entitle Lawyer to a electorate no
one has better claim. Even if the man
be distastefnl, the governing board of the
university does an unwise thing in refusing
the honor to the magistrate.
For the degree Gov. Butler cares nothing.
Doubtless lie i pleased at the refusal Of the
overseers; for it will provoke the sympathy
of many Of his constituents who have here
tofore been hostile to him, and he is adroit
enough 10 make of it an effective weapon
in future political battles. His friends gill
say that the intended slight came of the
malace of Judge oar-and people generally
will readily accept the statement; for Judge
Hoar, though man of much education
and considerable talent, is narrow minded
and vindictive ia the extreme. Being very
selfish he does not care what harm he brings

The Real Lord Byron. New Views of the
Poets Life. By John Cordy Jeaffreson, Au-
thor of Book About the Clergy, A Book
About Doctors, A Book About Lawyers.
Boston: James R. Osgood & Co. Portland !:
Loring, Short & Harmony
To present some thew views OF the poets
life," as expressed in the title of the book, is
the authors purpose, aid the volume is full
of gossip and discussion that must be fairly
called interesting. It is not profound or
very original style, but has the favor Of
personal mention that never fails to be fas
cinating to every reader. The bent of Mr..
Jeaffreson's belief seems to be that Byron
was not worse than his time as % the faults
at ributed 30 him, and that he only needed a
larger measure of "policy'' in the expression
of his political and religious opinions to
have made him as popular as he was great.
One may not agree with The author in all his
conclusions, but he will find his book worth
reading.
