CHESTER A. ARTHUR.

There are three conspicuous (and credita- ply conspicuous) periods in the career of ex- President Arthur, which was closed vester- day by death. The first is when, early in his professional work, we find him fighting in the courts for the rights of the negro In 1852, Mir. Arthur, with William M Evarts, succeeded in showing that the provisions of the fugitive slave law were not in force in the State of New York. In 1856 he took up the cause of a poor colored woman who had been expelled from Fourth avenue car in New York city, after paying her fare. He brought an action against the company, and recovered $500 damages for his client. The day after this victory was gained, the com pany which had been defeated in the action issued formal order giving colored people permission to ride iii it's cars, and in 8 short time this right became general throughout the city.
 MT. Arthur next conspicuously showed his quality when the Union was assailed by the southern rebels. Governor Morgan of New York made him quartermaster general, and his administration of the affairs of his de- partment was marked by great vigor, hon. esty and ability. He performed the duties of equipping and forwarding the great mum Der of troops furnished by his State with such success that his accounts were audited and allowed at Washington without deduc- ton, while those of some of the States were reduced by millions of dollars. It has also many large and profitable contracts, and the control of enormous purchases, he left the office of quartermaster general poorer than when he took it.
 In 1880 MT. Arthur was nominated for Vice President, and by the assassination of President Garfield he became President in September of the next year. During the try ing period between the shooting of Garfield and his death Mir. Arthur exhibited superior tact and discretion. And when he was thrust into the great office of President he soon showed both his friends and his ene- mics that the country had nothing to fear from him. His administration was respect able and safe, and though he went into office under sharp and pretty general criticism and suspicion he went out with the approval and gratitude of the people. He rendered im- portant services to the country during his term, and showed himself to be true patriot.
 These three periods which we have briefly outlined reveal that MT. Arthur is entitled to the respect and remembrance of his country men, who can afford to consider lightly his connection with New York politics and to easily forgive the faults that detracted from his fame Many a preater man has done less for his country than he.

about the new party-whether it will be a | labor party it may cause the working politi-
 clans good deal of annoyance for time, as
 the Changers did, but for lack of definite purpose it will be likely to die of it's own
 task it undertakes is too great to permit the
 belief that it could make any headway or long retain it's organization.
 MT. Nathan Appleton is not discouraged by the figures which show that De Lesseps' Panama canal scheme is failure. He says that the work will surely be completed, and that he expects to sail through it in 1889. The recent subscription of four million dol lars brings the available funds of the con- pany up to at least fifty millions, which will be sufficient for two years to come, when, says MT. Appleton, another and final appeal for money will be made by M. de Lesseps, and (which will be responded to by his fel- low countrymen in such way that the canal will be an accomplished fact.' And there upon he enters upon calculation of the great profits that must accrue Che estimates the total cost at about three hundred mil lions) and of the wonderful development of commerce and of the Pacific Islands that must result. And he urges this nation to reform it's shipping laws and prepare itself to obtain its due share of the coming pros- naritv

WHERE RURNABY FELL.
The Terrible Struggle of the Eighth.
 Square at Abu-KIea.

Boston Commercial Bulletin.l
 At it we went; the square closed. I must acknowledge that our men were now mad. We all felt that we must fight for our lives. Retreat was not to be thought of; if we did so, where could we retreat to, cut off as we were from all supporta If we did not win the day we must leave our bones in the desert. The temper of our fellows mount ed to the boiling pitch. Each man felt as if he must put forth the power of @ giant, and as a consequence the butchery was ter 1ible-none dared to finch. Thus every man in the square had to do his duty, for while the inside resembled & volcano erup tion, the outside or kneeling ranks had enough to do to keep the other Arabs at g re- spectful distance. The fighting was literally back to back.
 stabbing and gashing their horses, which were damned in mess, we quickly brought them to the ground, riders and all, when the latter were quickly dispatched by dozens of bayonets at once. The Arabs being packed SO tightly together could neither use their lances nor wield their scimitars without slashing each other, while we did not cease our lunging as long ono breathed. At last they were wiped out, and we again faced outward and reopened fire, our weap- ons meanwhile dripping. Five times the enemy charged us With frsntlc cries and waving banners, and as many times we poured in the murderous volleys-no shots wasted.
 It was during ons of these charges that Colonel Burnaby, impatient at the restraint imposed on him, pushed his horse through the ranks of the rear face, and singling out an emir who was making himself disagreea- ply prominent, made thrust at him, but was rather short; the emir thrust in return with his lance. but Burnaby, with sheer on his face, parried it easily. Two or three other Arabs took hand, but he disposed of them similarly. It was evident that he now intended to astonish them by his magnif- cent swordsmanship, as he gathered up his reins and frightened the grip of his sabre. But at this juncture another rush was made, the arabs surged around him, and before he could turn an Arab thrust at him from be- h1nd piercing his jugular vein. He reeled in the saddle and fell, but springing to his feet dying though he was, he deli cred one tre- mendous cut at some dismounted Arabs nearest him with such terrible effect as to sever the heads from the shoulders of two of them. As he dropped the Arabs closed in to mutilate him, but dozen men sprang from the square and tore his body from them. All this happened so quickly as to bewilder the spectators.
 It might be asked why it was that the men of the square did not shoot those to whom he was opposed. There are two answers; one was that owing to the velocity of his move ments they were afraid of shooting him

 There are thirty thousand brass bands in the United States and suicide is on the in- crease.
 The mourning in this country for the Pro- woon of North Burmah is not yet as general as that which followed the death of the Ak hoond of Swat, but it is spreading.
 The appointment of two we'll known and competent women commissioners of edu- cation by Mayor Grace of New York city is a good move. There are many reasons to be- lieve that Miss Dodge and Mrs. Agnew will do excellent ervice in educational work.
 The mania for per !orming insane feats of endurance is not confined to this country. With an ardent desire for fame Mohamme- dan in India the otber day made a wager with a coreligionist that he would stand gazing at the Indian sun for ten hours on end. On the appointed day at o'clock in the morning the aspirant to immortality took up his posi- tion face to face with the sun-god. As the hours went by vast crowd of excited sports men surrounded the man and eagerly looked on while he was suffering visible defeat. At 3 o'clock he fell down in fit, beaten by three hours, and very shortly afterwards he died.
 The last vote in the State of Massachusetts on the license question was interesting. In the twenty-three cities of the State the total license vote was 57,963 and the total no- license vote 31 ,076. An average increase of SIS votes for no license would change the re- suit from license to no license in all cities except Boston, where the majority for license was 9,319. In twenty eight of the sixty-three towns that voted for license the majority for license did not exceed forty votes. On the license question last year only 40 per cent. of the legal voters of the State took pains to express their opinion either way, while 75 per cent. represents full vote.
 The results of 8 census of the wershippers at the morning and evening services at the churches and chapels of London few Sun days ago showed that out of population of over four millions about 1000 were pres ent in the morning and 40, ,OOO in the even ing. At St. Paurs in the morning 1,662 were present and in the evening 3,4Os; at Westminster Abbey, in the morning, 1,721; ]; at Archdeacon Farrar's, in the morning 1,7S0 and in the evening 1869. Mir. Spur geon heads the Dissenters by great dis tance, his attendances being 4, 519 and 6,07O He is followed by his pupil, MT. Archibald G. Brown of the East London Tabernacle, who returns 1 ,696 and 1881, and by pr. Parker of the City Temple with 1, ,325 and 2,415.
 The Brooklyn Union has this to say about the Henry George party: But MT. George and such of his followers as understand his philosophy hope that this machinery is adap- table to their uses, and that the land tax formula will be an acceptable programme to organized labor as free trade formula at present surely would not be. This is the only question of serious import to be asked
