leader of the Tory party: ITO speak plainly
Lord Randolph Churchill has been pulled in the
press with admirable assiduity by a wellorgan-
lied clique which is always ready to cry: Pro
dgonsr whenever he opens his mouth. But it
is always in vain. The Liverpool incident shows
the extent OF the alarm which Churchills blum
dering and clustering have inspired within the
bosom Of his party. 1t were thousand times
better that the Conservatives should be again
in opposition than that they should
be exposed TO the humiliation Of such things as
Churchs attack on Earl Spencer's government
of Ireland. Unless the government disavows
these attacks it will feel the bad effects in the
future more severely than it has yet contem
plated The truth is, Lord Randolph Churchill
has been much overrated. If his pranks be en-
dured longer, he will smash the government and
the Conservative party. We will follow the
Marquis of Salisbury. but we will not follow this
Overgrown scholar, without knowledge sufficient

Churchill is equally Radical with Mr.. Joseph

Who Paid the Doctors?

New York Graphic.
Il nave SEEN" writes a reliable correspondent,
''rnany accounts of the way in which the doctors
of General Grant paid in all of which
accounts Mr.. George ". Childs and Mr.. Drexel
were credited with advancing the money.
Indeed, it was stated in most of the stories saw
that they had paid all demands of the doctors
without reference of the bills to the family at
all. But it is nevertheless the fact that they
never contributed single dollar towards the
payment of the physicians Why9 Probably
because nobody asked them. The entire
amount was raised by Mr., George Jones,
of the New York Times; and it was

Tricks of q photographer.

Mt. McGregor Special.
The sale Of the small photograph taken of
General Grant, amounting already in orders to
over $500, 900, shows that there is fortune in
the good negatives which were taken for the
sculptor. This fortune should belong to the
family, if any one but it seems that the man
who took the photographs is fraud. He came
here before the Generals death, and wanted to
take single negative, he said for the Century
Magazine If he could have good photo
graph for them he would give the negative to
the family. On this plea he was given sitting,
and he took two excellent pictures. by far the
best pictures of Grant that have ever been taken
They represent the General in skull cap and
gown, sitting in his chair with shawl thrown
over his knees. writing on his memoirs. In one
he is looking down upon his work. and his pen
is going; in the other he has raised his eyes, and
there is sad, thoughtful, suffering look in them
as he looks out over the country. The photog
rapher took the negatives, and after taking one
copy handed them over to the Grant family.
Before he was permitted TO take them he had TO
sign a written agreement that he would not pub
fish them and that he would give up the mega
tives. 1t now turns out that he lad no connec-
ton with the Century, and that ne took two
other negatives at the time which he did not give
up From these he is selling photographs The
pictures taken here were, however, copyrighted,
and it is probable that injunction will be
served upon him,

Speech Of Gen Horace e. Porter.
General Porter next described in graphic
phraseology, the second day of the battle of the

He told of the underground that impeded the

shut out the light of heaven when in the efforts
of the wounded to drag themselves away from
the fire, that had caught the brush, every thorn
on every bush seemed hung with shreds Of blood
stained clothing, until it seemed that men were
turned to fends and hell itself had usurped the
place of heaven Reports of disasters to the

stood as a giant among men. showing

Strengthening here, reinforcing there. and taking
up new positions elsewhere as rapidly as his
lips could move. Turning to me, he ordered
me to throweall the wagon trains into line of
battle ON the right. An officer said to him: 'If
we are defeated here, and driven from this line,
our trains will all be captured" The Generals
lips pressed little ii shter, and he seemed to
me to stand foot higher than he ever stood
before or since, as he responded when this
army is defeated, and when / am driven from
this limo. it will be when have so few men left
that they will not want any trains"
