NEw YoRx. Oct o6.--The Heyuldrs Wash

stood that Nj. Miner, our minister to
Central America, has received from Secre-
tary Blaine assurances Of the approval Of
the president Of his conduct in the Bar
rundla case. and has been fully justified
In the course be has pursued.
This Information comes from the city Of
Guatemala. where. Il appears. the state
department was most anxsous that the in
formation should bd hrst officially promul-
gated. The reason for this Is that. IS the

Misner, ii Was important. in view Of the
ssps taken In congress to obtain the state

ministration.
According to the announcement Minis
ter Miner Is held not to have exceeded
his duty. On the contrary he went further
in the matter in the interest of General
Bafrundia and his family than he was re-
quirei to do. He secured written guar
anfee from tho president OF Guatamala
and the minister Of foreign relations made
made TO the government Of the United
States that In no case would the life
Of General Barrundia be in
danger. Minister Mizner so stated in his

translated to BarrundiA It appears also
that Nisner did not order his surrender.

WHY GRANT WAS GREAT.
Due Recognition when True Merit
Once EstA biished

Due Recognition When True Merit IN
Once Established.
Was Grant great general?-conceded
What made him SO?
When q. S. Grant was hauling cord
wood into st. Louis his neighbors did not
imagine he would become the most famous
man of his generation. When he was
managing the little tannery in Galena no
one of his intimates recognized in him a
future hero. But he displayed Qualities
which should have satisfied them be was
no common man. What was there about
him?
ii You start to build single story shantv
you pay little attention to the foundation
you may lay stringers in the sand with
little fear the building will fall But if Won
propose erecting ten-story block, your
architect will tell you you must 90 to the
rock for the basis of ycur foundation. or
the stately structure is liable to tumble
about your ears.
The foundat on Of q great man Is moral
force-character; this is the rock founda-
ton. the shiftless man lacks it: he never
succeeds. Grant never used an oath-a
sure indication of moral character. He
never told, or listened to, il ne could helm
it, vulgar story; this showed pecu lar
moral fibre, an unusual strength OF char
acter. He was q man of opinions-as his
wife said. was obstinate; in other words
be had will power, force.
These qualities, with good Judgment
wel-baianced mental powers and pecu lar
executive anil ~. supplemented by q mill
tary education. fitted MIN for the emer-
gency when il came. As soon as his mer.
rs became known success was assured.
This is always the case with things as wifh
men. II we'll know the value of Warner

Tobacco 10 Dcp0puiatiug France
London Special.

Another evil has to be added to the num-
Der, already large enough. which the
French society against the use Of tobacco
has catalogued as arising from the overiA-
diligence in the weed. DR.. Dujardin Beau
meiy. vice president Of the society. pointed
out to the Paris Academy of Medicine that
one Of the causes of the depopulation OF
France has been overlooked, and II u to-
bacco. The doctor stated that SO Tar back
as 1873 members of the society came to the
conclusion, after an exhaustive study Of
the subject, that smoking was the real
cause Of the small number Of children seen
in MANY families. M. Dnjardin Beaumely
is an eloquent speaker. amt the skill with
with which he arranged his data and drew
his deductions was evidently telling upon
his audience. Several learned acade-
micians, who are known to be fond Of the
weed we're seen moving uneasily in their
seats, Is Ii troubled with a consciousness of
not having done their duty to their coun-
try. Fortunately for the smokers. how
ever, Professor Bronardel broke The charm
bv the ample query, And Germany r.
The academy heaved sigh OF relief and
passed reserved resolution to the effect
that the harmful action OF tobacco had
been scientifically demonstrated.

10 Abolish Titles Of Nobility.
London Special.

A strong section OF the French Radicals
is bringing considerable pressure to bear
upon N. Constans, minister of the interior
10 abolish all titles Of nobility. NJ Con.
STAINS, on his part, proposes. instead of q
bill aboiishing titles, which is likely to
prove imperative, TO move for the abroga-
ton of the law prohibiting the usurpation
of titles by persons who have no right oil
heredity or letters patent to bear them.
At the same time, according to his plan,
all titles would be disalIowed in legal docu.
ments. This double action would have the
effect Of bringing titles into commonness
and disrepute, and of rendering them
trivial a. mere social courtesies.
