CURRENT COMMENT.

SwINBURNE makes a heavy dash at Lord Byron
as poet, saying that his verse is ''not the bro
ken gaop of rough vigor; it is the sickly
stumble of dwelling debility" But Byron will
be read when Swinburne and others, far his
superiors are forgotten. Neither England nor
the world has produced a greater poetic genius
than Lord Byron. With much that is censur
able, he has given to the world productions con-
tanning the true poetic fire, now tender, now
startling and sensational showing him to be
a master of the keys that play upon the human
heart. The English language contains no nobler,
no more highly poetic verse than is to be found
in his writngs-and it may well be claimed that
in some of his loftiest and in some Of his most
tender and pathetic strains he is positively I'M
equailed He swept the Tyre with a master hand,
and in the words of Pollok, such was the eleya-
ton of his genius he 'stooped to touch the
loftiest thought

ApRoPos of the movement to dsplace the
study of Greek in the colleges, the following is as
effective an argument against the continuance of
attention to that dead language, as any advanced
by Charles Francis Adams, the leader of the
anti Greek rebellion. Said an old preacher: ''Why,
my brethering every young man who is going to
preach thinks he must be off to some college and
study lot of Greek and Latin. All nonsense!
All wrong! What did Peter and Paul know about
Greek? Why, not word, my brethering. mol
Peter and Paul preached in the plain, old English
and SOIL l." if we do as Peter and Paul did, we
are safe enough, surely.

THE following item is making the rounds Of
the papers, though whether it started as an
April-foo hoax is not known, but it is as truth
full as the New York Zrt3me's manufactured
cable message pretending to give the views of
''AIr. Arnold in regard to the people of Chicago.
The story runs: 1.-THE noted De La Martyr,
GreenbacE Congressman and red-hot-politician,

church in st. Paul. He has introduced an or

THE Lancet, an eminent medical journal, is of
the opinion that women are too delicately framed
for gymnasttc exercises. and with all the blind
ness of professional bigOtry, condemns those
who advocate the development of the muscular
girl. From this opinion the National Health So
ciety dissents, holding that the physical educa-
ton of girls is neglected. and that a general
adoption of moderate gymnastic exercises will be
beneficial to the sex.

PHILADELPHIA is great old circus town and
hitherto it has been the custom when a circus
made its street parade to summon the police
as guard of honor to escort the process
sion over the town. While the police have
been thus engaged the precincts from
which they have been summoned were ex-
posed, and instances have transpired where a
number of large and small house robberies took
place while the police were absent marching with
the elephants and escorting the monkey cages.
1t has just dawned upon the authorities that as
the circus is in no danger of being stolen, it
might be good plan to keep the police on their
beats for the protection of the citizens, who
were exposed to the attention of the mob of
thieves sure to be on hand.

WASHINGTON, April 17.-Military, as well
as civic affairs, were agitated to-day over
the charges preferred to the secretary OF war
by Mr.. Bateman, prominent banker OF this
city, against Judge Advocate General Swain,
that Swain deposited So, 900, taking receipt
therefor, subsequently checking out the
amount and then hypothecating memoran-
dun receipt for the same deposit, also that
Swain was concerned in the business of
having officers pay accounts discountedin an
illegal way Swain denied-the charges in
most emphatic manner, but from the fact
that Bateman stated this afternoon he would
Withdraw them, and that the affair
would be satisfactorily adjusted, it is
evident he has forced Swain
to settlement. Swain said the
question was 4 matter for the civil courts
and not for a court martial to decide Bate
man was a revenue marine officer and re-
signed some two years since to enter the
banking business. Swain was very int
mate with him, and being possessed Of
means was believed to be a silent partner in
the establishment, as he has the knack Of
turning what is called 'an honest penny"
He lived shortly after the war in Lawrence,
Kas., and was a member Of q law firm loan
ing money at per cent. month. Gar
field obtained for him the second Lieutenant
cy of the Thirty-fourth infantry in 1866, and
in 1870 had him appointed major and Judge
advocate. He was subsequently stationed at
Leavenworth as judge advocate on Pope's
staff.

SUCH progress has made with the Garfield
monument at Washington that it is described as
an imposing affair. A bronze statute of the late
President will stand a circular pedestal of red
granite, at whose feet will be shown, seated on
small abutments, figures typifying the various
stages of his career, educational, military and
politcal-the teacher, the general and the states
man. The total cost or the work, which will be
twenty-five feet high, will be sixty thousand
dollars. It's exact site has not yet been deter
mined. The figure of Garfield will be ten feet
high, The die pedestal will bear on three pill
asters disposed above the allegorical figures,
bronze trophy shields with appropriate attributes,
while on the upper part of the base below will
hang bronze festoons Of oak and laurel leaves.

ARTHUR FOR LINCOLN.
The Cincinnati Enquirer says The --latest
political rumor is that Arthur is now satisfied
he cannot be nominated, and win do all he
can to favor the nomination of Secretary
Lincoln. The opponents of Blaine are some
what amazed ut the strength which is being
developed for him in all sections and have
come to the conclusion that only by the most
complete tactics can he be defeated. The
hope now is that the convention will have
two or three ballots, then with the music OF
the band throw Lincoln's name before it and
endeayor to force him through with q hur-
rah.
NOT POSITIVE.
The same paper says: "The letter of TIL
den to the Iroquois club, of Chicago, is ccm
mcnted on as admirable. Many take its
final sentence as a declaration that he is MOI
a presidential candidate. STILL as it is no
positive on that subject, there are yet plcut!
who not only believe that he is 4 candidate
but that he will be nominated. The ''reYe
nue. reform" element now leans toward Bay
ard, having dropped Mcdonald and Morri
son."
