The Resources Of Diplomacy.

From the New York Tribune.
When the late Laurence Oliphant was the
Paris correspondent of the London Times, he
received one evening" visit from an eminent
Austrian diplomat, now dead, who brought
him state paper which he was very anxious
should be published in London as soon as pos
sible. The contents we're of so startling a n a.
ture that Oliphant hesitated to take the re-
sponsibility of giving them publicity unless, in
case of need, he could mention his authority.
This the diplomat declared was out of the CUES.
ton. On the contrary, he said, Not human
being must know that you have got this from
me-" ''Then. much as / should like to use the
information, cannot possibly do So" returned
Ohphant, because the news is certain to be
contradicted, and must, at least, let my editor
know how 1t came into my hands," After much
further discussion Oliphant returned the paper,
and the diplomat left the room in q huff; but
the door had no sooner closed than it opened
again, and the ambassador, walking up quickly
to where Oliphant was about to go on with his
work, threw the paper on the table and cried
out: There! there's the document. leave
it with you, Do what you like with 1t; but ]
give you full notice that il I am asked any
questions by my government l shall swear BY
all that's sacred that you did not get il from

JOYFUL YOUNG INDIANS.
How the Hampton Students Celebrated
Notable Anniversary.
Correspondence of THE EVENING STAR.

Correspondence of THE EVENING STAR
HAMPTON, Va, Feb II.
Friday, February 8. the Indian students Of the
Hampton school held the second anniversary of
what they call their emancipation day, the day
on which the Dawes bill was signed by the
President Early in the morning Indian boys
chosen to represent the different tribes raised
the flag. As one of them expressed it, "Ifs
Indian day. Let Indian boys raise the flag"
At o'clock the school chapel was filed and
soon after the playing of the band announced
the beginning of the exercises of the afternoon.
The address of welcome was given in good,
forcible English by Thos. Sloan, an Omaha, Of
the graduating class. The next speaker, col
ored graduate Of the Normal school, gave an
interesting account of his visit to the Indian
country last summer. He expressed much sur
prise at the neat farms and signs of the white
mans ways which he found there. He said
that his people, like the Indians, were strug-
Cling for self-preservation, and that they must
both progress or perish.
John Pattu. Sioux. gave his reasons for COM
ing to Hampton. He said that he wished that
the time allowed here was longer.
Samuel Perry, a Shawnee, spoke of the
progress made by his tribe during the last four
years. He gave his impression of recent
visit to New England. and said he was thankful
to know that people are trying to help Indians
all they can.
A pretty feature Of the program was the reci-
tatlon of poem called 'The Children of the
Fear" by four Indian girls in costume. The
last address of the afternoon was delivered by
Charles Dixson, an Onondaga, whose subject
was 1.-The Dawes Bill"
Herbert Welsh, Sioux, one of the speakers,
spoke in his native tongue.
After the Indian boys had showed their
varied musical talents by performances upon
the morth-organ, violin and cornet, an indus
trial song was rendered, in which almost the
entire school took part Each of the indus
tries carried on here was represented by a
group of boys or girls carrying their imple-
ments. who told OF their trade in a merry song,
which was sung with a will.
During the afternoon the colored students
helped in the celebration by their singing, and
at the close the three races joined in a national
hymn.

The STRENGTH of the Hanshurue

From the London Spectator.
In the composite" empire the sovereign ia
as completely head of the executive as the EN-
peror William Is in Prussia; no minister lives
for day under his displeasure, every order of
Importance is referred to his will, and when he
has decided discussion ends. After forty years
Of experince these hardly friendly peoples
unite in exalting him, and when he decides that
they shall have no festival as they all hoped,
but shall spend in charity all they would have
spent In pomp and enjoyment, they take down
every flag, stop every half-arranged cere-
monial, and rain gold upon the impoverished
charitable foundations. There is no COM
plant, no disappointment even, for that is the
emperor's will, and he is entitled to be obeved.
Such position, attained after three disastrous
campaigns, reflects the highest credit upon the
emperor; but it could never have been attained
If the conditions had not existed which serve
for it's foundation stones: il, that is, every
Austrian" had not felt in his heart that, want
ing the Hapsburgs. his political destiny might
be, probably would be, nearly uncomfortable.
These conditions cannot end unless. indeed
some incalculable revolution extineuishes or
radically transmutes the military autocracy we
call "Russia;" and they will support the next
emperor just as they have supported the En-
peror Francis Joseph. Of the five great states
OF Europe Austria Is supposed to be the most
loosely knit; but of the five it is probably the one
which it would be hard to shatter by one decisive
blow. Austria has a unity which is necessary
to the sectional safety, the sectional pride, and
the sectional aspirations of every Individual
within 1t, unity without which they all must
be abandoned. Austria is not only necces-
sary to Europe, as has oeen 80 often said. but
to her own peoples, and they perceive it so
clearly that extreme danger only binds them
more closely together and induces them, with
political wisdom for which they get insult
fcient credit, to leave their executive like their
army, one and undivided. The emperor bears
many titles, but he is always the same man.
and it is to his place as pivot of the empire. as
well as to his personal ability, that the unaues-
tioning obedience now paid to his orders is
mainly due.

From the New York Sun
The explorer, Won Francois, was engaged Q
while ago sketchiny an African village, which
was q little out Of the common because all the
houses we're built on platforms which kept
them out of reach Of high water when the river
overlooked its banks. While engaged with his
sketch, he says his attention was suddenly
rivetted by "a black beauty" Many Caucasian
ladies, he thinks, could well envy this primi-
tive maiden for her skill in the arts Of coquetry
as she poised her head now on this side, now
on that, and paced daintily to and fro along
the shore, using her big black eyes all the
while to the best advantage. One would
hardly notice the fact, he says, that she was
very scantily attired, 80 well was the lack Of
clothing supplied by elaborate and beautiful
tattooing and long strings Of cowrie shells,
which she wore around her neck and body,
while girdle encircled her waist. Altogether,
he thought she was one Of the most picturesque
and attractive objects he had seen in Africa
Several recent travellers have spoken in quite
complimentary and appreciative language Of
some OF the ladies they have met in Africa.
Becker had not gone inland 100 miles from Zan-
zibar before he was expressing his admiration
for the young and really pretty negresses and
their attractive FORMS" OF course he had
plenty OF opportunity to observe that "their
shoulders are round and elegant, their arms
quite perfect. Our brown beauties" he adds.
were not particularly shy, but at the same
time they were quite reserved. They would
ask us timidly for permission to pass their
hands over our skin, whose whiteness aston
ished them, but they retired in good order
whenever we offered reciprocally to pat their
shoulders or cheeks
Another traveller, who has Just written de-
scription of several African tribes, thinks that
the poorest taste in the way Of ornaments he
Las seen is among the Bayansi women, who
wear brass rings around their necks weighing
20 to 80 pounds. The flesh under these rings,
he says, is in many cases continually chafed
and raw, and for hours at a time the women
support their rings on their hands in order to
relieve the pressure upon their necks. And
yet no well-to-do married woman would think
that she could exist without her neck ring: and
when they are asked if this ornament is not a
very uncomfortable thing to wear they always
pretend that they do not understand. Brass is
money among the Bayansi, and the men, in
having it forged in big Jumps around the necks
of their wives have found safe but rather
cruel method Of money keeping.

Gen. Sherman and ex-COnfederates.
HE THINKS THEY SHOULD BE ADMITTED TO
SOLDIERS HOMES

Referring to the appeal recently made to the
public for contributions to aid in the establish
ment of a home for ex-confederate soldiers at
Austin, Tex, Gen. Sherman has written a let
ter expressing his sympathy with the move
ment. The New York World says that, in the
interview which Major Stewart had with the
general subsequent to the receipt of the above
the general said that the homes provided for
the Union soldiers should be opened to the con-
federate soldiers, and that the laws of the
United States should be SO changed as to admit
confederates and the word Union so far as it
applies to soldiers homes, be obliterated from
the United States statutes, so that they apply
to soldiers" regardless of the side they fought
on. Major Stewart took issue with the general
and said that the southern men did not ask or
expect such action by Congress- that many
thought it would not be right on principle and
would establish dangerous precedent, for the
United States to provide pensions or homes for
men who, IN effect. fought to destroy the in
tegrity of the Union.

Before Sedan.
Cardinal Gibbons.

Happening to be in Paris at the opening Of
the Franco-Prussian war, was grieved to hear
some of the French soldiers so far forgetful of
the faith and chivalry of their heroic fore
fathers, as to avow that their god was mittrail-
euse. They soon discovered to their cost that
their idol proved as impotent and treacherous
to them, as Dagon was to the Philistines. The
German emperor, on the contrary, was accus-
toned to evoke the aid of Heaven on the eve
Of an engagement, and to thank God for VIC
tories won. On the evening before the battle
of Sedan, the chant that filed the air from
every German camp was not the song of ri
baldry, but the glorious hymn, ''Now, let US
all thank God" (Nun danket ALE Gott.) They
prayed, they fought, they conquered.
