public of the great city itself than to
an Insignificant and opinionated subsec-
ton of that public. When Lord Hough-
ton died, last autumn, some of the news
papers dismissed him disparagingly as a
second-rate poet, as if poets, like school
boys or cheap London houses, must be
arranged in classes. But the fact re-
NAMED that SO long as Lord Houghton
was with us, English literature possessed
one figure who most agreeably and not
unworthily represented it on all public
occasions, and who could be trusted to
maintain its interests and reputation in
any assembly, whether of Englishmen or
foreigners. Does there exist to-day
within the four seas any substitute for
Lord Houghton of whom the same can
be said? Houghton was not Dickens,
a Thackeray, Macaulay, or Tenny-
son; bat he was the best known and
most popular symbol of the literary
craft; and if he was only second-rate is
not the mediocrity of the professors OF
that craft whom he has left behind him
rendered the more patent "a mediocrity
applicable, as it would seem, only by
reference to the considerations which
have just been urged? In literature
and art, as in craftsmanship, the public
looks for leaders who can form its taste,
and round whom it can rally. 1t is des-
tined apparently so to look for some
time in vain. The retrospect, at any
rate, of the death roll of 1885, goes fan
to Justify the statement that we car
reach the land of Lilliput without shak-
ing the dust of Westminster or thu
Strand, or Pail Mall, or Paternoster row
off our feet.-LOndOn World.

were dlScharged TO re-enl1St INTO the same
regiment they must have previously
served two years in order to become vet
Grams, and these were probably paid all
bounty due for first service.
All non commissioned officers mustered
out after April %, 1865, by reason of
being rendered supernumerary on con-
soidation, are regarded as mustered out
because their services were no longer
required, and are entitled to full bounty.
Volunteers who enlisted after July II,
1864, and before May l, 1865, for one,
two, and three years were, under act Of
July 4, 1864, promised 800 for one
years service, $500 for two years ser
vice, and $500 for three years service,
payable in equal installments as follows
One-third of the amount on muster in;
one-third at the expiration of half the
term of service, and the balance at the
expiration of the full term Of service. Il
the soldier was discharged because Of
wounds received in the line of duty, -
or by reason of the expiration of the term
of service, he thereby became entitled to
the full amount of bounty; but if he was
discharged "because of service no longer
required" or by 'close Of war;" he has NO
claim for the balance of this bounty.
Nearly all those existing under this act
were paid all due at time of discharge.
The members Of the First corps United
States veteran volunteers ("Hancock's
corps" were paid $500 in advance, in
addition to the aboue bounty. Soldiers
who enlisted subsequent to January 1,
1865, are not entitled to this extra
bounty

forego the pleasure OF seeing Eulalle
every day if possible, the afternoons and
evenings were henceforth devoted to
work. Many years before he began
to write book, which he had not had
the energy to finish; he now took it up
again, and worked at it day and night.
Fame and fortune opened out before
him; useless before, they had now be-
come priceless, for did they not lead to
how the blood coursed in his veins at
the thought Eulalle!
Dissatisfied with the condition of his
rooms, he had them swept. So, much to
the landlady's surprise and delight, the
dust was cleared away, the furniture put
in order, and the tolerable air of comfort
restored. 1t was by no means the perfect
home he had depicted, but it was, at any
rate. one step nearer.
The cat-that subtle bond of union
between him and her-had grown quite
friendly. As he wrote she often sat on
the table and blinked wonderingly at the
round -shouldered scholar, bending over
his desk, his sallow face flushed with
his exertions, and his dull eyes bright
ening as his pen raced over the paper
The pile by his side, small at first, daily
grew in magnitude, and the book upon
which SO much depended, was nearly
finished.
But about this time dreadful uneasi
ness seized upon him. He had not seer
Eulalle for fortnight. When the fort
night grew into month, and the month
into two, he became SO alarmed he could
work no longer. Vainly he attempted
to allay his fears by assuming that she
had gone out of town on visit; he fell
that he must see her, and SO satisfy hip
self that she was not merely the creature

THE LUsTY OUTH.-Southern cotton
manufacturers have increased their output
during the past year IS per cent, and have
obtained better prices than in the year pre-
ceding. The same thing is true Of iron
production !; the output is increased 20 per
cent, and prices are IS to 20 per cent. bet
ter. Out of these acorns we may guess
what kinds of oaks will grow in the future
as the transportation facilities Of the South
ern, Middle and Gulf States are developed
The Pennsylvania iron trade, oppressed by
tariff on ore and coal, and bending under
the rates of overstocked and debt-burdened
railroad monopo!ies, cannot successfully
compete with the furnaces in Alabama and
Tennessee, located among the hills that
furnish them with the desired qualities of
ore, coal and lime. The advantage of loca-
ton is also with the Southern cotton mills,
and to the advantage of location is added
the temporary advantage of cheaper labor
and of constant water-power the year round
for turning out both iron and cotton stuffs.
There hardly doubt that, while our indus
tries stagnate under the operation or mis-
chievous laws and unwise investment, the
Southern manufactures will for years to
come continue to keep their pace. They
have nothing to fear or hope for from the op-
GRAFTON Sof legislative hindraudes. They are
assured of their own markets, and can defy
the competition either of home or foreign
trade.-Phila. Record.

A PROBLEM FOR THE NoRTH.-The free
dom of this country has brought into it a
vile class of incendiaries who reward the
hospitality of the Republic as the frozen
adder repaid the husbandman: and the
astounding spectacle is now presented of a
social war, on small scale, in some Of the
great cities of the Northwest. Lists of the
killed and wounded in che recent insurrec-
tions read like the bulletins of the earlier
battles of the late war, and, in deed, exceed
these in some of the first conflicts between
Federal and Confederate troops. The North
has gloomy outlook before it just now
We say the North, because we are exempt
from the labor troubles of that section; and
it will not do for the authorities to underrate
the dangers by which they are menaced.-
The anarchists and agitators have been
dealt with after fashion which only en-
boldened them. They have been pelted
with grass and should now be chunked
with stones; shenld be dealt with in reso-
lutte manner; and peace and good order
should be conquered if need be, and con-
quered to remain.-Norfolk Landmark.

ew, Lieut.. Griffin, on Governors Island
That officer, who is attached to the engineer
corps, is expecting orders to report for duty
at some other post. Should he be assigned
to Baltimore or to Washington, it is proba-
BILE that Gen. Hancock's widow would con-
tinue to make his household her home. In
the event of his being ordered South or to
the frontier, it is not thought probable that
she would accompany her nephew, as she
prefers the Northern climate. 1t is said
that an authentic life of Gen. Hancock will
be published, and that the proceeds will be
devoted to fund for the benefit of his
widow.-N. Y. Herald.

FOILED AGAIN.

We met; she's smiled;
A passion wild
Through all my being thrilled.
Her laughing glance
At me askance
My soul with rapture filled.
We met again;
Again the pain
OF helpless love I felt.
My fate was sealed.
Compelled to yield,
Down at her feet I knelt.
There on my knees.
Beneath the trees,
1 plead my hopeless case.
Then, breathing fast,
I looked at last
Up in her blushfng face,
Where pink and white.
Before my sight,
Awar of roses waged.
She shook her head
And softly said,
"Merci! but I'm engaged"
