Second Paper.I
FoR TIE TIMES;
In my carly boyhood Lord Beaeon-
field OeisraelD was young dandy IN
London, noted for his extravaganza,
foppish dress, and was the petted
fayorite of that circle that frcquentcd
the salon of the celebrated Countess
Blcssington. The young nobility
scorned and was fond of ridlculing his
dress: aud treated him as an impudcnt
upstart, but his brilliant wit, fascln-
ating manners and conversation, and
his superb Jewish features captiyatcd
the ladies, and they predicted his
future eminence In politics and letters
Ills novel OF "Vivian Gray" written IN
his 22d year, astonished and was the
talk and wonder of London parlors.
Calhoun had not yet been In the
Senate. lie was Secretary of War;
and Jno. O. Adams Secretary of State,
and afterwards President, by the vote
of the House. Clay, returning from
Ghent was Speaker of the House.
Webster, Benton, Jackson aud Van
Burep were in the Senate the two
last were afterwards Presidents. Many
names afterwards distinguished, began
their political career and are now al
most forgotten by the present genera
ton. We have witnessed the rise,
progress, triumphs and disappoint-
inents of all the prominent statesmen
in this country and Europe during the
past fifty years. We have seen the
formation of parties, their brief sue
cess. their defeat; and each prominent
leader at the time predicted Its defeat
would ruin the country and entail 1n-
told disaster upon mankind The
world has managed, in spite Of these
political predictions, to move on; and
many of these political measures and
advocates are forgotten.
We read the just published writings
of Prescott and Motleys essays, in the
North American Review, and their
subsequent histories We well remem.
Der the campaign of 1910, when poll
tics were conducted on new plan

recall the Mexican war and the conllle
between the States as one of the chic
results of that war, and the bitterness
delusion and folly of those times
Strong men wavered, patriotic mel
faltered. and the conflict of opinion

tury ruled the hour and dictated
policy. The political animosity the
engendered still fingers in section
of the country; and there are thos
who take delight in fostering these ul
charitable and unfriendly feelings.

INK GlISES CASE.



This case probably has been The
most interesting, the hardest contested,
and the most prolonged known TO the
judicial history Of this country.
Over thirty years ago Justice Wayne.
of the United States supreme Court,
said that when the historian Of the
American bar should come to write up
the case, it would be registered as the
most remarkable in the history of our
courts. The case had then been before
the Supreme Court five times in one
form or another. and has now been de-
cided as many times again.
The first suit in the case was brought
bv Mrs. Gaines, then the wife of Gen.
Whitney, in 1884. and since that time
decision after decision has followed in
regard to it, until it has become 3 by
word that there was always a Gaines
case pending.
The first suit sought TO recover what
was known as the Eyariste Blanc tract
in New Orleans. Blanc bought the
tract for about $500 from the execu-
tors of Gen. Daniel Clark, prominent
citizen of New Orleans. lie sold il
and some other land to the City OF
New Orleans for $4,000, and the City
sub-divided the tract and sold il to q
number of persons for between $780,
600 and 100000, agreeing to defend
all questions of title, Mrs. Gaines hay
ing, few months before, claimed il
The grounds ON which Mrs. Gaines sci
up her claim was, that she was th'
child of Gen. Clark by a secret marri
aye between him and Zulime Carriere
woman well known in the city, ant
that Gen. Clarke had lett a later viii
than the one under which the propert!
was sold.
This secret marriage formed tn
axis ON which the litigation reyolyed
and the case was fought with grea
bitterness by both sides. 1t was no
until a few years before the war tina
Mrs. Gaines was finally declared TO b
the legitimate child as well as the law
J full heir of Gen. Clarke.
Even then the City of New Orlcau
did not surrender, and after the wa
Mrs. Gaines was compelled to brin
! suit for damages. In 1881 the Circu
, Court of the United States for IL
Louisiana district gave Judgment
her favor for $I,925,667, and 1t Is 9
appeal from this Judgment that Il
case of the city was decided.
The present case, II is generally co
ceded, exhausts oil the resources
= the law, and is regarded as u final Sc
tlement of the litigation.
: Mrs. Gaines, fighting to the We
last for her rights, is dead, and SO u
believed are all her immediate rclatl7
except her daughtcr-in-law, Hattie

"A Good Way Of Increasing the Heating

Any one who ever cut q stick for
budding and neglected to remove the
leaves knows how soon the bark shriv-

The principle involved can be made
use OF to season wood very rapidly and
thoroughly without depending upon
wind and sun. If soft-wooded trees
are cut in August or September and
allowed to lie until the leaves dry, it
will be found that the wood is not only
nearly dry, but that there is a heating
power to it that there is not to the

IRISH CHARACTER.



Dogeed Love For the Soil.
Putting minor divisions aside. and
keeping in mind the two grand divi-
sions among the old Irish, namely. the
imaginative. persistent. -stolid, re-
vengeful superstitious Ugrian, and
the quickltempered but kind-hearted,
generous, unsteady, quick-tongued,
pleasure-foving Kelt, we can under
stand perhaps better than before the
reason for anomalies in the national
character. We may perceive in the i'm
dividual Irishman, it may be. the con-
test still going on between Aryan and
Ugrian, between Iran and Turan.
Have we not here q clew to contradic-
tions in Irish natures, their fiery
threats and actual peaceableness, their
turbulence and relative freedom from
crime, their reputation for ferocity
among those who do not know them,
and the charm they exercise through
kinal and
with regardp IT is not fancifu1 TO trace
here the singular mixture OF sharpness
and stupidity in the peasant, nor will
it be found on reelection hazardous to-
assert that the Irish owe to the sturdy,
.plodding Ugrian element their ability
to support suffering and their logged
love for the soil-traits hitherto given
to the Kelt, although history is full OF
examples Of the Kettle passion for row
ing about the world. 1t is an element
that gives the counterpoise to the hot
headedness natural to those in whom
Kettle blood is strong; it ex-
plains the caution OF many Scots
and Irishmen; for both are apt
to talk with violence but to act with
great circumspection. 1t may also
supply the sad, poetical side OF the
Irish. 1t accounts best of all for their
essential law-abiding character when
humanely treated, their freedom from
crimes other than agrarian, to which
the latest trials in London bear testi-
mony. It may offer an explanation
for the petty. though vindictive nature
of misdemeanors like moonlighting,
houghing cattle aud destroying crops
traits which seem foreign to the
Celtic genius. Moreover it affords a
reason for the virulenceof class hatred
in Ireland and for anomalies like the
siding of the Roman Catholic upper
CLASSES with the enemies.e Of the Natien,4
though the enemies are all that is
most bigoted in contempt Of their old
faith. But 1t must be obvious that the
key to the Irish Nation fits more or
less well the lock Of many other peo-
pies. The ancestors OF every one Of
znsz havefough conquered and suffered
in that endless quarrel between Aryan.
and Turanian, which took place all
over Europe and large part OF Asia,
and which still goes on in the breast
81 every American who is descended
from that primeval mixture Of races.
