MOltke the Silent,

Moltke the silent-der Schweiger-
as he is called, is generally considered
the greatest, and is certainly the most
successful, of living soldiers. His
achievements at Koniggratz, Sedan and
Paris have never been surpassed, and
compel the admiration of all competent
military critics. Silent, quiet, cold, the
very incarnation of concentrated
thought, just as you see him walking in
the streets or moving in adrawing-room
when everybody stands respectfully
aside to let him pass-so he stood on the
battlefield, his cold clear eye passing
from one point to the other, and his
cold clear mind weighing the chances of
victory and defeat with the intensity
and serenity of mathematician ponder
ing over the solution of some grave
problem. No one, it is said, has ever
seen Count MOltke excited, not even
at Sedan, where the greatest victory of
modern times decided the fortunes of
the two most powerful empires of the
continent. His calmness seems mvs-
FERROUS, almost awful, and there is
something strangely sad about that 81
lent, lonely old man. His wife died some
years ago; he never had child: his
nearest relations, with the exception
OF niece, seem to be kept at distance
by him. Who are his companions and
his friends? To whom does he ever
talk in friendly, familiar way? No
body has ever been able to tell me,
J though | have often inquired. An old
man of eighty-four, he still appears
without fail wherever duty calls him.

Either nobody penetrates into his init
macy, or else those who approach him
intimately do not speak about it. When

tleman born in every inch of his aristo-
cratic, slender figure, his body still erect,
but his head as in deep thought, slightly
bent forward-such man, | say,
you may see coming out of the great
red building which stands on the
Koenigs-Platz, at the corner of
Moltke " and :" Bismarck streets,
and which bears the name of General
Stab" The solitary old man, unat-
tended by a servant, walks, slowly,
noiselessly. Every one who meets him
looks at him attentively, if the passer-
by is soldier he stands on one side
and salutes. The old general returns
the salute slowly and deliberately, but
apparently without seeing to whom.
Every time see him the thought oc-
ours to me that in such guise Dante

BirchbrOOk Mill.

A noteless stream the Birchbrook runs
Beneath its leaning trees:
That low, soft ripple is its own,
That dun roar is the seas.
OF human signs 1t sees alone
The distant church-spire's tip,
And, ghost-like, on blank of gray,
The white sail of a ship.
No more toiler at the wheel,
1t wanders at its will;
Nor dam nor pond Is left to tell
Where once was Birchbrook Mill.
The timbers of that mill have fed
Long since farmers fires:
His doorsteps are the stones that ground
The harvest of his sires.
Man trespassed here; but Nature lost
No right of her domain
She waited, and she brought the old
Wild beauty back again.
By day the sunlight through the leaves
Falls on Its moist, green sod,
And wakes the violet bloom of spring
And autumn's goldenrod,
Its birches whisper to the wind,
The swallow dips her wings
In the cool spray, and on its banks
The gray song-sparrow sings.

= WAsH1Ssros, September 1s.-A new
interest in support Of Blaine has been
perceptible in administration quarters CO.
incident with reports of the alleged pur-
pose OF certain stalwarts to oppose Blaine
and support Cleveland. A common i'm.
pulse moves members Of the Cabinet,
shared by Arthur himself. The speaking
members have offered to speak for Blaine
and to begin at once. Gresham is to lead
of on the stump. A letter written bv
Judge Folser only few days before he
died, placed himself in the hands of the
National Committee, was one of Folgers
last political acts. i "a Is ~
This impulse in administration circles il
accounted for by an intention on the part
OF Arthur's friends, by his consent, to nut
him on the track for United States Senator
from New York in Lapham's place. It
was only a very short time ago that the
report was current OF IN intention on the
part OF Conkling to stand for Lapham's
scat. The report rs to Arthur and the
Senatorship and the sudden going over Of
certain Stalwarts to Cleveland and an, ex.
ira coldness in. the place of the predicted
warmth towards Blaine on Conkling's part
are supposed to have a near relation.
Both reports are repeated in the same
breath. Fondness for public life has
taken strong hold on Arthur. rs d. NJ - -

Upon inquiry as to whether he favored

whose labor is hard, as ut the Navy-yards,

Referring to the Maine election he said !:
