A Comparison Suggested.

General Ilancock's remains have been
placed in the mausoleum at Norristown
amid the tears and regrets of grateful
nation. In the eulogies of his character,
called forth by his decease, no trait is more
frequently or approvingfy mentioned than
the fidelity dnd promptness with which he
obeyed the commands of his superiors
What he was ordered to do he did without
complaint, and to the fulfillment of the
letter as near as possible. His sodierly
judgment taught him that only by obeyng
orders could victories be won. After the
march and the fight were over he was not
obliged to excuse himself for delay or dis
obedience. or. worse. to behold an army
beaten and a cause and country endan-
gered because of his neglect of duty.
In comparison with Hancock in regard
to the trait OF character which we have
mentioned how does Fitz John Porter APP

critical time in military operations. A
battle was lost which might have been won
had he. like Hancock, been prompt to obey
the commands of his superior But he
failed in duty and consequently and prop
erly lost his position in the army and the
confidence of the country. and for several
years has been appealing to Congress
with all the influence he conld command
to have the stigma removed which has
rested upon him ever since the second bat
tie of Bull Run. What Congress may do
never regain the confidence of the people
of this country, and il will never be said
of him as of Hancock that he never failed
in ar emergency. and was always prompt
faithful and obedient to the orders of his
superiors. The comparison suggested
between these two men is worthy OF study
and remembrance by young men, not only
in the army but in the walks of civil lite
The London Riot.
The London riot is causing many peo.
pie to reconsider their opinions in regard
to the strength of a monarchcal govern
ment. We often hear and see it stated
that such a government is much stronger
than republican government. and par
ticularly in the matter of quelling domes-
tic instructions. Yet the city of London,
the very seat of the royalty and strength
of what has hitherto been regarded the
most secure monarchy on the face of the
earth. has been in the hands of mob sew
eral days, in spite of all efforts put forth
to suppress the rioters. From the very out
break of the riot to the present time the
police has shown its inefficiency to cope
with the mob. The latter has continued
it's ravages, and the government has done
nothing to establish the reign of law.

Were you ever in a photograph gal

all about posingp If not you have
missed something. The man who
knows all about posing has no conf

is no use of propping me up against n
