Colston saws: What would not Wolseley
give now to have his forces once more
concentrated at Kortil That will never be;
ard fear much that Wolseley himself will
never get back. The Bedouin tribes 400
miles north OF him can interrupt all
his communications even below korosko,
and virtually besiege him; and it matters
little whether he is confl.ed to space OF
a hundred square miles or one square mile
in a country which affords nothing for the
subsistence of an army. Butler, besieged
at Abu klea, eating his cameIs, short OF
water TRANSPORTATION, and ammunition, is
doomed. At least these are the probsbIll-
ties: and in war, as in chess, We must as
sumo that our adversary is going to make
the best, not the worst, move possible. The
British are paying very dearly for UNDER
rating the enemy's skill as well as pluck.
Graham, it is said, will have 5000 men at
Suakim by the 9th of March. He will
never march ten miles beyond, in my
opinion"

THE SITUATION.

We have Democratic President and
House OF Representatives, but We have
also Republican Senate and an unparti-
san Supreme Court We are to have,
therefore, at least for two years, a conserva-
tive administration for no gross partisan
measure can go through Congress against
the opposition of the Republican or Demo-
cratic majority, in the Senate or the
House. The country is, therefore, reason
ably safe for half of Mr. Clevelands term
and great many changes may occur be
fore that half expires. In addition to this,
1t may be borne in mind that the new
House of Representatives, although it has
a Democratic preponderance, has in it
enough Protection Democrats, with the
Republicans, 20 prevent any serious tinker
ing OF the tariff in the interest OF free
trade.
The great problem to be solved in the
country is that in which the rights and
privileges of the black citizens of the
South, are involved, and the Republicans
are their friends and champions Fortu-
nately they are to be aided, greatly, in the
near future by two potent civilizers-the
spelling book and the Bible-now doing
work among the freedmen. From
these books the bulldozed and oppressed
citizen is learning his rights and acquiring
power to recover and maintain them. He
will soon be able to take care of himself
and to take and keep what belongs to him.
And in this he will have efficient aid from
he Republican partyl

The Boston tough has met ut last

the gambler. who backs and manages
the pugilist in all his engagements.
Sheedy is revelation to Sullivan, who
has been used TO dealing with loud
mouthed drunken fellows, who have no
particular ability to carry on anything
but rough-and-tumble fight. Sheedy
is a tall man of rather elegant and dis
tinguished appearance, and he is TO all
intents and purposes the ideal gambler
created by Bret Harte in his stories of
the Sierras. Indeed, if Shcedy were to
take the name of John Oakhurst, he
could not come nearer to the romantic
idea of the man who lives by the turn
of the cards. One night in New
York Sullivan and Shecdy had dis
pute about some financial arrangement.
Sullivan was drunk, noisy. and over
bearing, which, am compelled to ad-
NIT, appears to be his normal condi-
ton nowadays. He staggered up to
Sheedy, and examining his hand into
his peajacket pockets, exclaimed: Il

repeated Sullivan. Sheedy took hold
of the lapel of the prize-fighter's coat
and led him aside five or six steps, say
ing: Il want to speak to you" When
they were out of range of the bystand-
ers Sheedy asked: Have you any bus
iness in Boston that ought to be settled
up?" "'Sposen l have?" said Sulli-
van in his surly way. because"
responded Sheedy, with dangerous
quietude, ..if you take my advice you
will go to Boston and settle it up be-
fore you smash me in the jaw. You'u
never have another chance" Sullivan
looked the pale gambler in the face for
a moment, and the expression he met
there was so convincing that he turned
on his heel and walked away. When
he sobered up he apologized, and said
he did not mean anything by his con
duct Its all right. john observed

During the years spent at Tavistock
House one of his daughters was, for a
time, a great invalid, and after q worse
attack of illness than usual her father
suggested that she should be carried as
far as the study. and lie on the sofa
there, while he was at work. This was
of course considered an immense privi-
lege, and even if she had not felt as
weak and i'll as she did, she would
have been bound 10 remain rs still and
quiet rs possible. For some time there
was no sound to be heard in the room
bat the rapid working of the pen. when
suddenly he jumped up, went to the
looking glass. rushed back to his writ
ing table and jotted down a few words;
back to the glass again, this time talk
ing to his own reflection, or rather to
the simulated expression he saw there,
and was trying to catch before draw
ING it in words, then back again to his
writing. After n little he got up again,
and stood with his back to the glass,
talking softly and rayidly for a long
time, then looking at his daughter, but
certainly never seeing her, then once
more back to his table. and to steady
writing until luncheon time. 1t was a
curious experience, and a wonderful
thing to see him throwing himself so
entirely out OF himself and into the
character he was writing about. His
daughter has very seldom mentioned
this incident, feeling as if it would be
almost a breach OF confidence to do so.
But in these "reminiscences of her
father, she considers it only right that
this experience should be mentioned,
showing as it does his characteristic
earnestness and method of work.
Often, after a hard mornings writing,
when he had been alone with his family
and no visitors in the house, he has
come into luncheon and gone through
the meal without uttering word, and
then has gone back again to the work
in which he was SO completely ab-
sorbcd. Then again, there have been
tines when his nerves have been strung
up to such a pitch that any sudden
noise, such as the dropping of spoon,
or the clatter of 4 plate, seemed to
cause him real agony. He never could
bear the least noise when he was writ
ING. and waged fierce war against all

Andrew JohnSon's Peculiar Oratory.

Andrew Johnson. then a Senator
from Tennessee, spoke for two long
days in opposition to secession. His
manner of speaking was peculiar to
himself, and very agreeable He had
two distinct tones of voice. and they
Were as opposite to each other as possi-
BILE, and alternated so constantly that
an auditor who should have heard with
out seeing him would almost have
thought his speech was made by two
different persons. His manner was de-
liberatc. and he spoke eXtempOre and
often in conversational tone, raising
his voice to a loud pitch whenever he
was particularly reused or earnest. He
had all the Southern Peculiarities of
pronunciation and said "dcssolution"
for dissolution, ''kecr' for care"
etc. His speeches were rambling and
loose in construction and he repeated
himself endlessIy, and vet, with all
these disadvantages, he made so many
strong points and brought to bear such
a mass and variety of authority that he
was very effective. Zen LCrjcy POOrc
