The Changed Condition of Things.


There has suddenly sprung up demand
for Europeans who understand the Ian
guages Of Oriental nations. The Russian
government gives high pay to men who
have Q knowledge Of the Chinese, Persian,
Afghanistan, and Sanscrit tongues. They
are needed as interpreters, and If they are
men of affairs also, they are well paid, and
are given high official positions The whole
OF central Asia is to be opened up to the
commerce of the world. Thibet, which has
so carefully guarded its borders from
foreign intruders, is negotiating through one
of its Grand Lamas with an English agent
named Colman Macauly, with a view to
opening trade relations with India Mr..
Colquhoun, who has travelled through the
country, says that railroad would now be
welcomed in the Shan states between Bur
NAH and China, and would pay large
profits
From every quarter Of Asia come reports
of awakened enterprise, Of the formation Of
new trade relations, and projects looking to
the building of railroads and telegraph that
though populous but here tofore backward
continent. The most astonishing phenomena
on this planet to-day, Is the spectacle of
renewed life in these Asiatic populations, a
great part of which is directly traceable to
the influence OF Russian conquest south Of
the Caspian sea War is an evil in itself,
but it is often the means of Spreading
civilization and rene wing the life Of back
ward and decaying communities.

Like one who hears with sudden throb OF
The lingering cadence of an old refrain
Which wakes the echoes Of the vanished
gladness
With tender pain,
So stand now with mingled pain and
After long absence at well-known door,
Which guarded once my darling, my hearts
treasure,
In days of yore.
Still bloom the roses with their old time
sweetness
Round this dear cottage IN my native land;
Trimmed is the hedge with all its wonted
neatness;
The old elms stand.
Like soft carpet Of the richest green;
Still leaps the fountain with its light pulsa-
Frightening the scene.
Years have not changed it; now as thenytAe
Winds in the distance like silver stream;
Through the old orchard still the sunbeams
And brightly gleam.
Ali but no voice of sweetest mod Iation
Nor ripping laughter greets my listening
All the bright scene but breathes in desola-

the soprani of the first line on the fingers of

painter. He is not such q rare bird as a

traits in London or Paris, he makes
from 10000 to 10000 pounds sterling

"And so is the voice Of the singer, who

working life Of the artist on canvas is fully
twice as long as that OF the singer, whose

from which the painter is entirely free. As
for me, I lead a triangular life between

Democratic Success Followed by Demo-
cratic Eulogy OF Mr.. Davis.
The success Of the Democratic party
in the recent Presidential election is
promptly followed by Democratic
eulogies Of JEFF. Davis by Democratic
leaders from Democratic States in the
United States Senate. The real senti-
ment of the Democratic party was
partly disclosed by these speeches.
They tolerate Union Generals like Cen
eral Sherman; but they honor and
venerate JEFF. Davis.
Senator Vest, of Missouri, said he
had "kind feelings toward General
Sherman" but he believed, cas- the
overwhelming majority of the Southern
people believed, that jeff Davis was
true and loyal to the cause he espoused
MS ever was wife to husband. or de-
voted to the God he worshippcd." JEFF.
Davis lived "among people who
honored him" He pictured General
Sherman as q man to whom he could
accord certain respect; but JEFF.
Davis was a man "honored and be-
loved by millions.
Senator Morgan, Of Alabama, had
nothing to say against General Sher-
man. Apparently he was willing TO
extend TO General Sherman and the
loyal men of the North the charity Of
silence and forgiveness; but he de-
clared that JEFF. Davis was "beloyed
by millions of people,"
Senator George, of Mississippi, had
nothing to say against General Sher-
man and the loyal North; but he had
mo fear that the verdict of history
would be adverse to the honor or
patriotism OF Jefferson Davis"
Senator Lamar would not impugn
General Sherman's veracity''--that Is,
he wouldn't denounce General Sher-
man as liar-"but no man should in
his presence call Jefferson Davis q
traitor without his responding with q
stern and emphatic denial" He had
respect for General Sherman's mill.
tary sagacity;" but he Uamarj had
been throughout "the friend Of Mr..
Davis"
And so on. The whole tone Of the
debate, on the Democratic side, wa:
that of generous condescension and
willingness to forgive the Republican
North on the part Of the Democratic
South; but on the ground that the leader
Of the rebellion be regarded as an hon.
ored hero and patriot, beloved by mill
ions; while the leaders OF the war waged
by the Republican party against Demo

doctrine of State sovereignty might be

Some of the researches lately
made by English explorers in regard to
deep-sea beds have led TO the belief
that there are no rough ridges, abrupt
chasms nor bare rocks, and that the
sea bottom at great depths is not affect
ed by currents nor streams-even by
those of the magnitude Of the Gull
stream-its general appearance rather
resembling that OF the American prai-
ries, and L is everywhere covered by a
kind OF mud.
