man.
Baker underwent his sentence like
stole, and upon its termination left
England and offered his services &c
Turkey. The war Of 1876, with Russia,
was just on, and the Sultan was only
too glad to get such a man. He was
made pashs and given the command os
the cavalry, and from that day to tho
present Valentine Baker has been in thu
Sultan's service. He introduced vari
Gus reforms, and improved the Turkish
army in a way and with q rpidity that
has excited the admiration Of Europe.
When Suleimar Pasha was defeated he
covered his retreat la q mastery man
ner, and with twenty-five hundred men
kept thirty thousand Russians in check,
Since then his advice upon Eastern sub
jects has been eagerly sought by the
British government. Ills recent labors
in Egypt are too well known to require
comment. A man who can do such
things in the face OF what would crush
most men must necessarily win
the admiration Of his fellow
beings, and especially of
his countrymen. A reaction in popular
feeling long since set in, and now il has
eliminated in a pronounced movement
in favor Of his being reinstated in the
army. Naturally there is considerable
opposition. In the main it may be said
to come from officers inferior to him ia
every way, who fear his superior ability.
The Prince of Wales is working hard;
but the Qreen, true to her obstinate
prejudices, so far remaines obdurate.
Letters by the hundred, pro and con,
from people OF every description, many
from LADIES' (all of whom are on Bakers
side), fill the columns Of the daily and
weekly press and if nothing more comes
Of it, il will at least have afforded people
something to talk about and quarrel
over. If the most sensible opinions
prevail, the mai will be restored TO his
rank and position. He has been pun
ished enough for, at the most, a half
hours folly, and England's army is to
weak in generals to spare such one as
he would make.

her, and unable to draw her back
| into the compartment, held ner firmly
from falling, no she might otherwise
have done. In reply, Colonel Baker
had not q word to say, except
70 give an absolute denial TO the whole
story or at least Miss Dickin-
sons version of il. The af-
fair happening during the height OF the
London season, and Colonel Baker being
80 prominent a member of society,
the CONSERVATION it created in all quar-
ters can be imagined. Many people
simply wouldn't believe it, and Miss
Dickinson was sharply criticised, by
women especially. No young lady eV-
err travels by train alone in England
at least, no parent who has his danght-
er's safety at heart would permit her to
do so-and that was advanced as ex-
cuse enough for whatever happened.
But at length at the Croydon Assizes,
before Mr.. Justice Tush of the Queen's
Bench, Colonel Baker was tried for
criminal assault, and Miss Dickinson re-
peated her tale under oath. Naturally,
in 3 ease Of tha kind. a woman, fslle be
q lady, and especially II she be pretty,
has it all her own way. In England,
too, q man can't testify in his
own behalf, and the stunning
beauty Of Miss Dickinson cap
tured every heart. What were n mans
past services to his country, or future
career, put in the balance with an IN
jured woman like that, even though her
story lacked a tenable corroborative
circumstance to bear out her unsupport-
ed statements2 Colonel Baker was de-
Tended by MI. Hawkins, @. c., the
leading criminal lawyer at the time who
has since become a Judge Of the High
Court Of Justice, and ! remember that
his defense was thought TO have been
far from an able one. Among many
points missed by him was failing TO lay
any stress ON the fact Of Baker holding
Miss Dickinson from falling. Had he
been ;he scoundrel she described INN,
or had he any eason to expect she
would accuse him of anything, he
would not have been so anxious TO save
from injury the only witness against
him.
However, Colonel Baker wa convict
ed, and sentenced t. q years imprison-
ment in Maidstone Jail, and a fine Of
five hundred pounds. Until then public
opinion was, lin a measure, suspended;
but upon his conviction there vast
any punishment seyere enough for him;

graced in every way. The Queen, TO
show her special resentment, sent for

Buckingham Palace, and commlserated
with her. In fact, she tried to make a
heroine OF her. But she coundn't make
go. If people were down upon
they had a lingering. admiration
for him that made them dislike the cause
Of his downfall. And besides, there
