have let themselves down pretty low

that the anarchist riots in Chicago

one feature OF the socialistic trouble
more noticeable than another, and more
gratifying to every lover of ireland, it
is the fact that up to the present not Il

with melancholy pride to the fact that
about three fourths of the gallant fcl-

The recent speech by Jeff Davis at

The recent speech by Jeff Davis at
the dedication Of the southern soldiers
monument at Montgomery, Alabama,
has attracted good deal of attention.
With few exceptions the newspapers
Of the country are indignant at its de-
livery. The only exceptions i'll the
north are those who reason that the
ex-rebel chieftain is fast nearing his
grave, and that any foolish speech
which he may choose to make before
his final taking off will be harmless.
Harmless his words doubtless will be;
because the south has had more than
enough Of such leadership as his. But
it is provoking that q man who has
been largely responsible for SO much
misery and suffering, 80 many broken
hearts and the loss of so many lives,
both north and south, as has jeff Davis
would not know enough to hold his
peace The most unreasonable beings
in the world are those who having cS-
pouscd cause or taken a position
which is proved by the logic of events
to be radically wrong, still persist in
stubbornly claiming that they were in
the right If they do not wish to
admit their folly, they ought at least
keep silent IN regard to it. 1t is all
right that the misguided soldiers of
the Confedcracy should have a mon
mcnt erected to their memory; because
braycly and heroicly did they fight.
But the voices of all the old secession
leaders, who We're responsible for lead
ing them into bloody rebellion against
the best government on earth, ought to
remain silent Especially ought they

uucnt to dead soldiers of the war Of

Labouchere at Munich.

sSome thirty years ago." says Mr..
Labouchere, II was an attache at our
legation at Munich. Old King Louis
was then alive, although he had been
deposed for making a fool of himself
about Lola Montez. I used frequently
to meet him in the streets, when he al
ways stopped me to ask how Queen
Victoria was. had at last respectfully
to tell him that her Majesty was not in
the habit of writing to me every day re-
speeding her health. His son was then
the reigning King. At court receptions
he liked to show off his knowledge OF
languages. In order to be quite cor
rect in his English, he was accustomed
to submit the observations that he con-
templated making in that language to
professor of English. The professor
once or twice got into difficulty owing
to our answers not being precisely what
he had anticipated in the prepared con.
versations. So he came to us and ex-
planned the system. After this the con.
versations never encountered a hitch,
for we knew what the King was to say,
and arranged our answers so as to give
him the cues. IN. Y. Post.
