LITTLE MAC"

There is some talK in Washington of giving
General Mcclellan q frst-class mission
abroad, while others say he will 90 into the
Cabinet. We learn through one of those
wonderful special dispatches that are con-
stsntly fitting over the wires from the East
to the Republican papers of the West
that Mr.. Cleveland is under special
obligations to General Mcclellan; that he is
the only prominent man from whom Cleve-
land asked 8 personal favor during the
Presidential campaign. 1t is only valuable
in this connection 10 show to what straits
the Republican correspondents are some
times put to meet the demands of
the party for something new and
peculiar, if not sensational. The circum-
stances as the story goes were that Purcell,
the New York editor who deserted Cleve-
land, had agreed to preside at Democratic
msss-meeting in Rochester if Cleveland him
self would sit on the platform. The great
Blaine business mems demonstration took
place in New York about this time, and the
Democratic managers imperatively de-
manded Clevelands presence in that city at
a similar parade as an Offset to the Repub-
lican boom. The day fixed upon was that of
the Rochester meeting. Cleveland could not
be in both places at once. and could
afford neither to refuse Purcelrs flag of truce
nor stay away from New York. In his
dilemma he appealed to Mcclellan, vino was
the only man whose presence in place of the
Presidential candidate would satisfy PARCEL.
Mcclellan was booked to speak at Morris
town that evening, but after somesnegotia-
tions consented TO break that engagement
and go in Clevelsn6's place to Rochester.
He there made the Purcell meeting great
SUCCESS, while Cleveland in New York re-
vived his boom. Those who should be in
McClellan's confidence say that the real OBJ
jet of his ambition is not Cabinet Office
but an appointment abroad, and we'll
informed men speak of him as the next
Minister to Rome. 1t would seem that
General Mcclellan would need no such
brand of credit az outlined in the foregoing
to recommend him to the good
Offices and favorable consider
alton of the incoming sdministra-
ton. The General has been the candidate
of the grand old Democratic party for the
Presidency. and that is sufficient His am
bition will probably be gratifed, II within
the power of Mr.. Cleveland, without any ref
erence to the incident of having at one time
presided over a Democratic meeting in
Rochester.

FROSTwORKs.
BY LILLIAN N. BARR

OF the lovely scenes in winter,
When the earth is white with snow
And all things seem pure and holy
In this wicked world below:
When for summers leaves and fi1wefs
We look about US in vain,
We see sight far grander-
The frost on the window pane.
They look as il a great artist
Had come in the s!.ll of night
And painted his grandest pictures,
So that rich ana poor alike
Night gaze In admiration,
AS upon the works of men.
Ard see the beauty of frostTOrks
Upon the window pane
But oh, we never could succeed,
No matter how hard we try,
To draw the pictures of mountains.
With tops rearing proud and high,
Or draw the ferns and grasses
And plants / can not name,
In such sDlendor and beauty
AS they're drawn on the window pane

WE have all beer SO engrosssd ia political
matters for almost an entire year that the
fact OF the Old Testament being under re-
vision by committee OF scholars had we'll
nigh escaped attention. 1t was determined
that the new edition should be published on
the 1st of March. s New York SPECIAL of
March l says: This is really the date that
was fixed on as the time for the simultane-
Gus issue of the revised Old Testament in
Great Britain and the United States, but as
March 1 comes on the Sabbath, the issue is
postponed until tomorrow or next day.
Biblical scholars and diYines general
ly have been anxiously awaiting the
publication of the revision. 1t is
confidently expected that it will be
n greater demand and meet with better sue
cess financially than the revised New TestR-
ment. So much more OF interest attaches
to the Old Testament on account of the
difference OF opinion in regard to various
translations OF certain words, phrases. ETC.,
on disputed theological points that all theo-
logians and canonicsl authorities are curl
Gus to see and study what new light is
thrown on these questions by this late rsvi-
sion, and it is believed that thers will be
many changes in the most important parts
OF the book that will provoke extensive dis
custom For other reasons heavy demand
for the revision is antici pated."

"CaINEsE" aoRDoN's WRONGS.


When reading the letter of General Cor
don to the home government concerning the
affairs at KhaItoum, the conduct of.the Eng
lish Ministry becomes intolerable. Prior to
July we find him advising a relief expedi-
ton, and that il follow the right bank of the
Nile, in the hope of surprising Berber. He
gives notice of his determination to remain
at Kbartoum until relief should arrive. On
August a he writes: 1--WE have FIVE months
provision and hope to get more. Our coun
try's role has not been very noble in Egypt
or the Soudan." This criticism was deserved
six months ago, but how terribly has its cor
rectness been emphasized BY EDgland's mac

don, Stewart, Earle and Colonel Burnaby.

OUR FOREIGN PoPUL ALTON.

General Francis a. Walker, in q recent,
lecture on 1.-THE United States as Seen in the
Census" gives some interesting facts regard
ing our foreign population. The first census
of foreign birth was taken in 1850. The per-
centage was then IS of the whole popula.
tion. In 1869 the percentage was 1916; in
1870, Il a; in 1850, 1882 The great mass
OF foreign population reside in New
England, around the great lakes, and in
the northern central portion of the country
as we'll as in various regions of the frontier.
The South has very little foreign popula-
ton, except in Texas. In New England the
and in Massachusetts, and the States on the
sound. The foreign population reaches its
maximum where the general population
reaches its maximum, along the latitude Of
40 and Al, along the longitude 10 and "a.
Sincs 1850 the proportion of foreign Irish in
every 10, 600 has fallen from 4 285 co ZIG;
of English has fallen somewhat. The Ger.
mans have gained in proportion, and the
Swedil b. British American and Cnenumer-
ated nstionalities have largely gained. New
York stands first in the aggregate foreign
population, and also first in the Irish, Ger
man and English population. Pennsylvania
stands second in aggregate foreign popuIa-
ton, Illinois third and Massachusetts, fourth.
Massachusetts is third in Irish population,
fifth in English and nineteenth in German.
The Chinese are still found mainly in Pacific
States, and their increase has not equalled
what was once supposed 1t would. In 1850
the Chinese population was 75S; in 1860,
$4,000; in 1870, S. 600: in 1880, 105, 600.
Our total population stands native to for
eign. The criminal proportion stands: For.
eign, 1900; colored, IL 900; native, 80 600.
In each nationality there are more children
having a foreign father than foreign mother
due to the larger number of male immi
grants than Of female.
