The role Of Beau Brnmmol Is not great or desir-
able one suppose but II 1t has been played in
our New World, 1t is by the subject Of this para
graph, with this difference: Brummel was snob at
heart; Talboys Ia nothing OF the sort. One came
from nobody knows who; the other Is gentleman
p sang Of family and perfect breeding, and by far
the best informed man the etiquette OF the best
society here In London, or at Vienna, or st. Peters,
burg Of our time. And though he Ia less slim of

weakness sometimes too pronunciation looking

he ought not to be found in; there s no better man
than Talboys, and Pierre Lo-illard has shown the

that Gen. Sheridan wanted to know just how strong
the present revolution in North Mexico really is,
and to that end directed Gen Stanley to investigate

throughout the region involved to be ignored or
neglected II there is any danger Not only are there
two railroads belonging to New York capitalists run

owned by persons from all parts OF the Union, hd.
cfendds, and other property Of all kinds, which
Government may have to protect. The wisdom of
Gen. Sherdans m0ve-ifi 1t be as Is stated-is be-

following Its ancient traditions and policy In protect
ing American interests wherever they may be- 1t

to be continued.
