In the interesting volumes OF @The Core
spondence and Diaries OF the late John VIII
son Croker" q curious anecdote Is given OF
this only interview that ever took place be-
tween Wellington and Nelson. The story
was toll by Wellington himself in a CONVEX
sation with Croker at Walmar castle, and
runs, In Substance. as follows: II had just
returned" said Wellington, from India, and
went to the colonial office In Downing street,
aSnere, on being shown into the little waiting
room. l found, also waiting to see the score

likeness TO his picture, and tho loss OF an

gust me.
"Something l said finally made him think
l mignt DO somebody, and he disappeared
IRON the room, no doubt to ask the Office
keeper who | was. What an altogether diff
ferent man when he came back, both in

had vanished, and he talked or the aspect of
affairs ON tho continent like an officer and a
statesman. The secretary kept US long
waiting. and certainly for the last half of an
hour l don't know that l ever had a CONVEX
sation that Interested me more. Now, n the
secretary had admitted Lord Nelson In the

the same impression OF a light and trivial
character that others have had. Luckily, 7

was a superior man. but certainly q moro

AHuMANrrARIAN,s EFFoRTs.

We acknowledge the receipt OF an adj
diess recently delivered by Mr.. Charles
+. McKenna, Of Pittsburg, Pa, before a
committee Of the national house of repre-
~sentatives on the subject Of the abuses in
cattle transportation. Mr.. McKenna is
DISTINGUISHED for his arduous humanitar-
ian hbors, and is deeply interested and
actively engaged in ~reformatorY work
This address is an able one; and lift were
true hat the patent cattle cars and other
devices, mention Of which was recently
made in THE LEADER, would transport
cattle to market in greater comfort, its
arguments would be irrefutable. II
may at the same time be taken for a fact,
lift eau be established hat by any i'm
proved method of building cans, cattle
can be transported so as to suffer less
shrinkage in weight which is caused by
the discomforts and ~privations Of the
trip, those who own cattle will literally
remunerate any inventor of such a pro-
duction; and they will ~forestall all
the labor Of the societies for the
prevention of cruelty to animals, by
changing the system Of transportation at
once. With our stock growers it is mat
ter Of dollars and cents, and that system
will pay them best which will get their
cattle to market in the best condition.
The shipment of live beef cattle from
the west to the eastern markets is n Of
the great transportation industries of the
country. It is for the interest Of the
men who own the cattle shipped by rail
road from the west to the east, that the
stock should reach its destination in the
best possible condition. There is no ques-
ton as the exercise of mercy to the beast
in this industry. That which is most
merciful to the beast, is most profitable to
the owner. Every act of cruelty-if the
animals lack for food and drink, if they
suffer from injury-causes the owner and
shipper a proportionate loss in the value
of his property and in the profits OF his
business. 1t does not in view Of
this fact, require any argument to prove
that the owner Of cattle for shipment viii
gladly welcome and literally pay for any
improvements in the methods Of teams
portation. which will bring his cattle to
market in a better and more salable condi-
ton.
This much should be said for the ship

POSTMASTER oENERAL snLrER,

The suggestion which has been so prom
inently and powerfully made to President
elect Cleveland to appoint DR.. G.L Mil
Ter, editor of the Omaha Herald, post
master general, is being greeted with en-
thusiasm all over the west, and is met with
great favor throughout the east.
OF all men who have been mentioned
for this position in the cabinet, DR.. Mil
Ter is. by all odds, the best fitted for the
duties Of the place In the thickly popu-
lated east the wants Of the people change
but little from year to year. In the west
they are constantly changing. Regions
that are now only known to the prairie
dog and coyote, may next year bloom
into teeming settlements. Eastern men
don't appreciate this fact; western men do;
and above all. DR.. Miller.
The LEADER thinks that there are two
cabinet positions at least, that should
always 20 to western men-the postmaster
generalship and the s~ecretaryship Of the
interior; and this fact is very strongly
impressed upon Mr.. Cleveland
As to DR.. Miller's claims upon the
party. naught can be said against them.
he went 10 Omaha before the Iadians
had departed thence. He is a perfect
specimen of a pioneer, and he has kept
abreast of the times, politically, socially
and financially. He has remained a con-
sistent Democrat in a Republican strong
hold. and has always thrived on party re-
verses. In the sense Of consistency, he is
certainly a jewel on the Democratic es-
cutcheon.
Personally, DR.. Miller is alarge hearted,
brainy man. Dignifed. he is yet cour
teous; reserved in manners, yet he is APP
proarhable by all. He has a keen per
ception Of human nature and shrewd bust
ness Judgment while as a political leader
he has been s~agacious. His associations,
socially and politically, are of the best.
He is a personal friend of Mr.. Tlden,
and a frequent caller upon the sage of
Gnmercy Park. With Mr.. Cleveland he
has been long on familiar terms both be-
fore and since the election.
Take il all in all. DIR. Miller's appoint
ment as postmaster general would be
highly pleasing tothe western Democracy,
and a great credit 70 the party at large

The following prediction is taken
from the Christian Advocate and Jour-
nal OF March 16ih, 1888, and is frcm the
pen of DR.. G. N, Caulkins
Our country in 1887 What will this
L MON be in fifty years from this day ?
Tne cloud by day, the pillar of FIRE by
night, for the world TO follow in its
march OF civilization and refinement |!
The morning OF 1897 will dawn upon
this nation doubled in extent, with
Michigan and Iowa rs the centre of
Icivil'zAsior, and the unbegotten States
of Oregon, Columbia and Pacifcans,
stretching along the ocean, called the
Pacific States, with another tier OF
sisterhood lying along tie Rocky
Mountains, by the name of the Middle
or Mountain States. What now are
known as tina Western, will then re-
ceive the appellation of the Eastern
States while the Western will be those
bordering on the Pacific Ocean. Fifty
millions of frsemen will look upon that
morn, and glory in the name, yielded
| by France, OF the "Great Nation, =
Splendid cities will then exist where
| now the Indian, the lord of the dark
forest around him, lies down upon his
copper face, dreaming of the happy
hunting ground of his fathers, with
whom must soon dwell the whole hu
man race, On that day mere handful
will be found lingering on the borders
of the great deep that must at length
engulf them. Where will then be the
capital of Michigan? In some inland
city, near her centre. will its columns
rise in msgniiicence and splendor.
Branches of the University of Michigan
will then be tiourishing and impartipa
their cheering influence in every county
Throughout the State. Each county will
have its temple of liberty, whose a,tal
is the printing press and each town Its
temple of worship, and its numerous
schools, the nurseries of freedom, iu
structed by we'll taught teachers. Then
perhaps, the schoolmaster will be es
teemed equal to the cook on, steam
boat--a happy epoch in the march o
human improve ment, Where then will
be the capital of this Union Possibl,
in the Valley of the Mississippi. St
Louis may be the favored spot, or eveI
the unbroken wilderness still farthe
west, And where, alas will then b.
, the present citizens of our great repub
lie? Then will

A petition will be presented TO the
City Council this evening asking that
the special policemen employ cd uLon
the Brandy wine through the summer
be continued one month longer, until
the first of December. The presence of
the police Is more needed now than dur.
ing the summer, as the woods are strewn
with leaves which tramps and loafers
set fire to, thereby endangering buildings
aud property. During Novem her, the
weather will not be too cold for tramps
to infest the woods, but afterwards the
weather 1t Ia presumed will be too cold
for the tramps to infest the woods, aud
there will be less need for special police.
But during November, 1t is the general
feeling that property will be made more
secure and order better maintained by
|coutinuing Mr.. " cir and Mr.. Forrest,
the specials, who have done.their duty
so well in tho past, one month longer
1t is hoped tae prayer Of the petitioners
will be granted.

BOSTON, Oct. 2S The Eastern Yacht
Club gave banquet tonight at the
Parker House to the owners and design
er Of the Puritan. The dining hall on
the second floor was elaborately fitted
up for the occasion. At the head of the
room was large painting of the Puri

the hall was the Goelet Cup won by the
Fortuna. The tables were laid for one
hundred, and were literally loaded
with beautiful floral designs aud the
most artistic work of the con fectioner of
the hotel.
There were thirteen beautiful floral
designs on the tables, while ferns, roses,
red and white oarnatiors and nastur-
tiums were scattered over every avail
abIe,space. The crystal chapdeliers were
festooned with smilax from which were
pendant roses, chry santhmums and
Carnations. The arts of the confec-
tioner and cook were taxed to the ut
most in the beautiful designs which
!ornamented the tables aldwin's
orchestra of ten pieces furnished the
music. M. Endicott Peabody pre-.

NEW YORK, Oct. 20, 2 q. M -Berdi-
napd Ward has been found guilty OF
grand larceny on the charge of having y
obtained money from the Hariuo Na'
tional Bank by false preteuses. The
penalty is not less than five and not
more than ten years in Sslte Prison at
hard labor. The verdict was rendered
at o'clock this morning. after the ury
had been out about six hours.
When the Jury retired at o'clock,
Judge Barrett and nearly all OF tbs
lawyers, on both sides, left the court
room. Ward, however, remained with
his jailers. He tipped his chair back
against the railing. and placing his feet
on an adjoining chair, remained in
that position nearly all the time, chat.
ting pleasantly with everybody about
him.
He went out just before 8 O'Clock for
lunch, but was not gone more than half
an hour. About midnight judge Bar
rett returned, and was followed soon
afterward by the counsel. No word
heing received from the jury un il
O'Clock the Judge was about deciding
to lock them up for the night. Before
he had made up his mind Crier Ricketts,
announced that the jury were ready 10
deliver their verdict. The tw.lve
men fled slowly in, aud as they did 30
Ward eyed each one closely and ner.
vously. 1t was easy to see that he was
laboring under considerable suppressed
excitement, and now that the crucial
moment had arrived he felt himself un-
able to control it.
Judge Barrett raped for order when
the jury took their seats. Ward was
directed TO stand up. He looked like
an old man as he raised himself to his
feet. The big veins in his face, that
have been growing more and more DIS
tinct every day, made great blue lines
over his almost colorless countenance.
His head was sunk half way down on
his breast, and his hands were tightly
clasped below his waist, and twitched
|nervously. Notwithstanding this, how.
ever, he looked Foreman Hunter square
in the face as the latter, in reply TO the
usual inquiry. stated that ths jury had
found Ferdinand Ward guilty of grand
larceny, as charged in the Indictment.
just faint suggestion ofcolor passed
over Wards face as he heard his Ren-
tence, but he sat down quietly<ADd
busted himself TO get ready to leave
with his jailer. Judge Barrett said
urday morning at 10O'clock. Ward q
counsel made motion for a new trial.
The jury first stood eight for convic.
tion and four for acQuittal. On the
| second ballot it was ten for convic-
tion, and on the third it was eleven to
one.
