THE REVIEW.
Twenty-Five Thousand People In
Line.

The Presidentaw escorted to the
White House after the Inauguration
ceremonies amidst the most I'M
bounded enthusiasm. Twenty five
thousand men passed in review be-
fore the President, who, with a dis
tinguished company, occupied the re-
viewing stand on Pennsylvania ave-
nue..
The first division consisted Of
United States troops and local mill
tary organizations. The second di-
vision was composed entirely of the
Pennsylvania National Guard, $500
strong. 1t was headed by Governor
Pattison and Ex-Governor Harntraft.
General Fitzhugh Lee commanded
the third division, which comprised
a large number of coIored troops.
The fourth and last division was COM
posed exclusively of civil organiza-
tions, and was commanded by Ma
ljor Thomas J. Luttrell. It was a
representative Democratic division.
After the review the Presidential
party lunched at the White House.
THE BALL AND FIREWORKS.
The inauguration ball was the most
brilliant gathering ever witnessed in
Washington. 1t was held in the new
unfinished Pension building, which
was lighted by sixty gas burners of
5O0-candle power each. The decora-
tions were profuse, and the coIors a
blending of brightness which pro-
duced an enhancing effect. Upon
acres of waxed floors thousands of
gaily dressed couples engaged in
dancing.
The fireworks were on a scale of
magnificence heretofore unparalleled,
and formed fine wind-up to the pro-
ceedings of the day.

History Repeats Itself

The manner Of the capture of Khar-
toum with the death of General Gordon
as one of the attendant circumstances, is
curious illustration of history repeat
ing itself. Khartoum was taken in the
same way that Gordon took Soochov.
twenty-one years ago. That city was one
of the strongholds of the TAPPING rebels,
and in the closing weeks of the year 1863.
Gordon, with force of 1900 or 1900
men, assisted by larger army of I'm.
perialists under another command. had
laid seige to Soochow, and made a des-
perate night attack, in which he was re-
pulsed with heavy loss. But some of the
beseiged had become discouraged and
wanted to surrender. The leaders of this
party were number Of Wangs, or kings,
title which the original leader of the re-
bellion gave to his principal followers.
After protracted secret negotiations, dur
ing which they advised Gordon to assault
the city, promising they would not defend
it, Gordon proposed as better plan that
they should surrender one gate of the
city TO him, which was done, and by that
means the whole place was captured. This
was very much like the maneuvsr by
which the treacherous Pashas delivered
Khartoum into the hands of the Mahdi.
They marched all their troops TO
the one side of the city, while
he attacked a gate on the other
side. The surrender of Soochow was fol-
lowed by an atrocity as revolving as the
outrages practiced by the Arabs, though
the fault was in no way Gordon's. His
treaty with the rebel Wangs was based on
the understanding that their lives should
be spared, but no sooner had they sur
rendered than they were all beheaded by
Ii Hung Chang, the Chinese commander.
Gordon was enraged at such an act of
treachery, and taking pistol went in
search Of LII Hung Chang to kill him, but
the latter was warned and kept out of the
way till the Englishman's wrath had sub
sided. 1t is possible the Mahdi would
have spared Gordon's life, as the latter
would have spared the Chinese Wangs,
but the brutal mob who follow the Arab
leader know no mercy in warfare.-ALEo

FRENCH VICTORIES.

LONDON, March 2d.-In the House
of Commons the Government ad
mitted that on February I'd the gar.
rison of Kassala lost "a officers and
IS men in a sortie against the Nah
dis troops. Kassala is go miles from
Suakim and 293 from Massowah, on
the Red Sea. The garrison is Egyp-
tian, and has held out since the re-
bellion began. The Marquis of Hart
| ington defended the Government
policy in Soudan, and stated that il
necessary the reserves would be
| called out. Communications were
also being had with the Colonial
| Governments as to the extent to
which aid would be given by them
| in the event of war.
STATE oE AFFAIRS IN SoUDAN.
A dispatch has been received by
the Government from NTOlseley ask
ing the extension, past the cataracts,
of the Nile Railway.
The garrison at Kassala has been
reduced to an effective force of 600
men. The town is closely besieged
and the garrison is short of ammuni-
ton. The Egyptian troops are dis
contented. The Governments of Cairo
has abandoned all hope of relieving
the town.
The destination of the fourth Italian
expedition to the Red Sea is supposed
to be Trinkitat.
The Government has chartered
seventy-five vessels for transporting
troops and supplies to Suakim.
WOlseley's eyes are effected, and
typhoid fever has broken out among
the British troops.
General Wellesley has ordered
Brackenbury to return to Korti forth
with, and not proceed on his march

Liste telegraphs, February 2Sth, that
the French garrison at Luyenquan
repulsed furious night attack, in
ficting heavy loss upon the Chinese.
General Negrier dispersed the Chinese
in the vicinity of Dangson, and cap
tured several Krupp guns and mitrail-
Ieuses. He also captured the frontier
town of Cuaai.
RUSSIAN AGGRESSION IN ASIA.
Dispatches from London put a very
serious face on the relations between
England and Russia. The Russian
outposts are within Afghan territory,
and Earl Dufferin, the Governor
General of India, has been instructed
to assure the Ameer that England
would protect the integrity of his
dominions. A conflict between AT
ghans and Russians, however trivial,
would precipitate war.

The arrival of the Diplomatic Corps
fifty strong, clad in their uniforms
varying from the silken robes and
mandarin caps of the Chinese to the
gorgeous gold and bedecked dresses
| of the Europeans, occasiOned suspen-
sion of the buzz of conversation for a
moment.
Just before the entry of the mem
bers of the Supreme Court, arrayed
in their ample black silk gowns and
preceded by their Marshal, the annual
act of turning back the hands of the
Senate clock was performed by the
veteran doorkeeper, Captain Isaac
Bassett. The Supreme Court Justices
were placed upon the right, in front
of the Chair. President Arthur was
then announced, and his coming was
greeted with the clapping of hands,
in recognition of which he bowed
gracefully to the assemblage.
INCIDENTS INAUGURATION.
President-eleet CIeveland's reference
to the prohibition of foreign contract
labor called out loud and long con-
tinued applause, but his allusion to
Civil service reform met with a faint
response. AS Chief Justice Waite
arose to administer the oath, the vast
assemblage cheered again and again.
The President-elect stood facing the
Chief Justice with the crowd on his
right. Chief Clerk Mckinney, of the
Supreme Court, stood just to one side
of Cleveland, and held the Bible upon
which the oath was administered, the
President-elect also holding it with
his right hand. The Bible used is
small morocco-covered gilt-edged
volume, pretty we'll worn. 1t is the
Bible which Cleveland's mother gave
him when he left home as a young
man, and, at his special request, the
Committee of Arrangements had it in
readiness for the ceremony. The
crowd preserved perfect quiet as the
impressive ceremony of administer
ing the oath was taking place, but
when it was concluded, and as Presi-
dent Cleveland laid down the Bible,
after reverently kissing it, and shook
hands with the Chief Justice, who
was the first to congratulate him,
they cheered loudly and long. Ex-
President Arthur was the second man
to congratulate the President, and
was then followed by Chief Clerk
Mckinney and Senator Sherman.
President Cleveland was then intro
duced to the remaining Judges of the
Supreme Court, to Lieutenant-Gen-
eraI Sheridan and General Hancock. !
The other persons on the stand then
pressed forward, and many of them
shook his hand.

We speak of forest culture in our editor
ial column, and endeavor to impress upon
landowners the wisdom, from a self
interested standpoint, of planting belts of
forest timber. In this connection it may
not be out of place to quote DR.. Lyons
estimate of the available lumber supply of
Europe and North America, of course i'm
Guiding Canada. DR.. Lyons is member
of the House of Commons, and attended
the International Forestry Exhibition re-
Gently held at Edinburgh, Scotland. He
put down the area in European Russia
alone at 527, 426, $40 acres of woods and
forests, and all the rest of Europe, includ-
ing Norway and Sweden, ia, 987, 1852
acres, while the American acreage under
timber is estimated at $50, 600, 900. Russia
in Europe is, therefore, credited with an
acreage of forest land nearly equal to that
of all North America and the rest of Eu-
rope together. Of course this is not any
thing like the worlds visible supply of
timber, but more than so per cent is in
accessible.

Treasurer Jordan is going to
make savage attack upon the
Bland dollar in his annual report.
He has about half a dozen clerks
hard at work collecting matter for
the report, and he himself at work
night and day. He is going over
all the old records, and is having a
document compiled showing how
much it has cost the Government
annually for the transportation of
silver, the figures which amount up
astonishingly. He is accumulating
many daddy" dollars, in which he
expects to surprise Congress, and
he will sum up the whole with an
exhaustive argument to prove 1t
impracticable as a currency and
detrimental to the financial welfare
Of the country.
All this will probably require the
levying of an assessment on the
gold bug banks of New York.

PALO ALTO UNIVERSITY.

The plan Of ex Governor Stan.
ford's University at Palo Alto is as
follows:
The buildings at Palo Alto will
be constructed on the general plan
Of the parallelogram. The first
will be for the male and female
colleges, which are to be distinct
institutions, yet with an interde-
pendence. The plan Of the build
ings will be such as to admit of ex-
pansions and additions which from
time to time the necessities of the
Institution may require. An in
portant step in the development of
the plan will be the construction of
buildings for parents and guardia ms
of pupils and such other persons as
the Trustees may designate, this in
the hope that they may select Polo
Alto as temporary or permanent
home, and that the rental from
such buildings may constitute a
very considerable part of the in
come of the institution. If this hope
should be fulfilled: the establish
ment Of preparatory schools will
follow, 50 that facilities may be at
Forded for the education Of child
rem Of a tender age. The project
includes an agricultural department
and special buildings for mechanic
al institutes, museums and art gal
lerys connected with the colleges.
To crown the whole institution
there will be other structures
which will be devoted to instructions
in the science of government. in
law, in medicine, painting, music,
mechanics, and, in fact, in all the
higher accomplishments. This su-
perior course will be free, and those
leading up to it will be available at
very moderate tuition fees. All
the post-graduates of this and other
universities and colleges will be en-
titled to its advantages, as we'll as
all other deserving persons. The
founder has provided that the sal
aries paid to the professors and
teachers will be liberal, in order to
induce the leading instructors of
the world to seek positions in the
faculty.
