RLAlNE,S BADGES.

Mr.. BLAINE is determined to let nothing
get awav in the shape of manufacturing his
boom for 1855. Mr.. BLAINE is an observ-
ing man, and among many other things that
have struck his observation is the value of
badges in the way of keeping up partisan
enthusiasm during a political campaign
One of the principal values of badge is
that it distinguishes the wearer of it as a
pronounced partisan of the man whose
name IS inscribed on it. He has separated
himself from the world, so to speak, and
has dedicated himself to the cause he cham
Mons The badge is the symbol of his
partisan zeal. The badge-wearer is man
who carries his political heart on his sleeve.
Then again, the man who wears badge is
very apt to induce somebody else to wear
ONE too. He sets an example which some
body else is sure to initiate. Mr.. BLAINE
having observed all these things, and having
Wondered them well in his mind, concludes
that it would be good scheme to put
BLAINE badges into circulation. SO
that nv the time the next nomina-
ting convention comes around he can
tell exactly how many partisans he
has who can be relied on. Accordingly,
we are informed that plain white satin
badges bearing the simple inscription:
"JAMEs G. BLAINE, 1885," are making
their appearance in different parts of the
country. 1t will be interesting to the Other
presidential aspirants on the Republican side
to watch the spread of the BLAINE badges.
1t will give them pointer as to the strength
of the man from Maine. and will enable
them to form their combinations accord
ingly. So. after all, Mr.. BLAINE's badge
scheme may be the worst job of his life.

A SAVAGE REVOLT.

1t is rather an astonishing story which
comes in these piping times of peace from
Southeastern Africa, to the effect that a
battle has been waged between Portuguese
and natives with a result of 5000 killed.
The principle involved in the alleged con-
flict, however, is one with which Americans,
mindful of little unpleasantness which
occurred some hundred odd years ago, can
sympathize. The natives, it seems. OBJ
jected to unjust taxation on the part of the
Portuguese. especially as they were not ac.
corded representation, and finding COM
plants unavailing, rose up in force and drove
their task masters out of the country. Though
in view of the history of affairs in South
Africa, it is odd to read Portuguese where
the name of England has most frequently
appeared, there is no doubt that the natives
of that entire region have suffered under
foreign rule little short of tyrannical. To
that effect the most veracious of all wit
neSses, the missionaries. agree. In the
present instance, however, there will arise
in the minds of many people grave doubt
as to whether the name of the American,
Mr.. Wilcox. who is given as authority for
the reported battle, should not be MULHAT-

Statues Bigger han Bart 0ldi'S.
London Daily News

LOHuOH OdHy NoWSh
The statue of Liberty, just inaugurated
at New York, is described as towering Ito
the skies above all known statues of the
present and the past" and as 1.-THE Great
Eastern of statues" A much higher statue
exists. and has long existed, in Afghanistan.
The little knowledge which has been OBJ
tanned of this statue, or statues-for there
are more than one-has been hitherto con-
tned generally to few Indian arch@olo-
gists; but we are now indebted to the AZ
CHAN boundary commission--and more par
tcularly to captain. the Hon. NJ. G. Talbot,
R. E.. of the survey department, and Capt.
Maitland, of the political Experimentation
much more complete information than
we have yet received. These statues are
on the principal road between Kabul
and Balkh, at locality known as Bamian.
At that place the road passes through
valleys. with high scarped cliffs of con-
glomerate. Probably about the early CEN
turtles of the Christian era the Buddhists
excavated numerous caves. as monastrieS
for themselves, in the rock of these valleys.
These ancient excavations still exist, and
can be counted by thousands.
In addition to these a number of statues
of Buddha were cut out of the solid rock.
Two, at least, are still standing, and the
largest was measured by Capt. Talbot with
the theodolite; so that we now know the
height to at least a few inches. The
measurement gave it as 173 feet high; that
is rather more by few inches than the
Nelson column in Trafalgar square. and
nearly seventy feet higher than the New
York figure. This figure of Buddhn is the
real '.Great Eastern" of statues. The cele-
brated Memmon statues of Egypt would
only come up to the knee of this mighty
ikon. PIT Baman there is another figure of
Buddha, 100 feet hight. These are
erect standing figures; there is
also a sitting figure 80 feet high.
There are the remains of other two figures,
but they are in ruinOus cOnditon-one of
them is estimated to have been about fifty
or sixty feet. These statues were origi-
nally, we know, either gilt or covered with
metal. The Chinese pilgrim, Hiouen
Thsang, passed the spot in the first half of
the seventeenth century, A. D., and from
him we have description OF at least the
two largest figures as they existed al that
date. The statues have, of course, suffered
from time. Armies have often passed by
the road. Genghiz Khan and Timur- lungs
hosts did so. but they had only bows and
arrows to throw at the idols. In later
times Mohammedan soldiers have passed
with artillery. and in their hatred of
"Bhuts'' or idols they fired solid shot. The
idols have, thanks to their great size, stood
this treatment very fairly, and in spite of it
the true character of the figures, as we'll as
the art style to which they belong, is still
faithfully preserved.

that even if they do give it passing
