who possessed what | regard as the high
est development of military genius-men
who combined with the strategic grasp Of
Won Moltke and the calm wisdom and
Just reasoning power of Wellington, all
the power of Marshal Bugeaud and OF
Souwarof to inhame the imagination of
their soldiers and impart to them some of
the fiery spirit of reckless daring which
burned within their own breasts The
personal magnetism which such great
men possess SO largely, and can without
effort impart to others, was, think want

magnetic power of the great generous
leader (Napoleon) over his men was GER
tainly undervalued by Wellington. He
seems in his mind to have divided his
army into gentlemen and common men.
placing great unbridged gulf between
the two classes With one or two ex-
ceptions, he apparently had the very poor
est opinion of the military capacity of his
generals of division, while he believed
with all his cold heart in the dash, cour-
age, endurance, loyalty and patriotism Of
his regimental officers. the sons of Eng
fish squires and younger sons of what
was then called our aristocracy
He seldom, if ever, spoke in appre-
ciative terms of those brave soldiers who
carried him in triumph from Lisbon to
Toulouse and If he had any affection for
them he never showed it. He believed
that when restrained by the most rigor-
ously enforced discipline, and led by Eng
ish gentlemen, they were, under him, in
vincible. But he never hesitated to de.
scribe them as collection of ruffians, the
blackguards of every British parish, the
scum of every English town. In fact, he
was thorough aristocrat at heart, with
all the best sentiments. but still with all
the prejudices of that class. There was
no genial sympathy between him and his
soldiers; they respected him, and during
his later campaigns they had the most un,
bounded confidence in his military genius,
but beyond his own immediate military
household, with whom he lived on terms
of intimacy, no one loved him. 1t is for
this reason that think he will never be
classed in the same rank of military
greatness-of real military genius--with
the five great leaders of men | have
named above.-Lord Wolseley in Fort

DANBURY, Conn, Jan. 21.-Miss Jessie
Gilbert, who lives at II Grand View avenue,
was bound and gagged Monday afternoon
by housebreaker. Almost helpless, she
succeeded in rolling over and over until
she reached neighbours door, where she
was found almost exhausted. Miss Gilbert
lives with the family of William H. Oakley,
and Monday afternoon she went out to
make call. When she returned home she
found all the family away. There were
evidences that an intruder had been there,
She heard an unusual noise upstairs, and
Just as she started to investigate hand
was clasped over her mouth and she was
thrown down. A spool was thrust in her
mouth, and her apron was drawn up and
tled TO prevent an outcry. Then her hands
were tied behind her and her feet were also
tied, She was then placed across a chair
Miss Gilbert heard the robber going
from room to room, and after what seemed
to her an age, he left the house. The
nelghbors saw him going away just at
dusk, but they did not pay any attention to
him. After while Miss Gilbert succeeded
in getting on the floor, but she could not
free her feet. She rolled over and over
until she reached the stairs and succeeded
IN sliding down to the first floor, where she
made her way to the door, which the thief
left open when he went away The girl
finally succeeded in rolling to a neighbours.

her and went to her aid. 1t was a long
time before she was able to tell the story of
her assault. The police secured the CITY

THEY ARE VERY SORE.
Shoup and Dubois Over Their
disappointment
IN THE MATTER OF HEJUDGEsHIP
They VIII Offer Texas Angels Name as a
Compromise President is Set on
Beatty's Appointment.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-T Special telegram
to The HERALD. l-Messrs- Shoup and Du-
bois are determined that Mr.. Beatty shall
not receive the appointment of judge if it
be within their power to prevent it. They
have, as I telegraphed you several days
ago, presented to General Harrison the
name of Judge Sullivan as a compromise
candidate. The President can find no OBJ
lection to Judge Sullivan except that he is
already provided for. This, the Senators
say, is mere ruse to justify his selection
of Mr.. Beatty. Should the President, how
ever, refuse to appoint Judge Sullivan,
they will then present the name of Texas
Angel, the former law partner of Judge
Sullivan 1t is evident, however, that
the President will in the end give
the place to Beatty. If he does this,
he must run the risk of having his
confirmation defeated when the Senate
comes to act upon it. The silver Sena-
tors, as the Senators from the Pacific coast
and Rocky mountain region are called, are
all antagonistic to the administration
and it is believed would gladly vote against
Beatty's confirmation, if for no other pur-
pose than to .embarrass the President.
Should they do this they can easily secure
Beatty's rejection as it is well understood
that the Democrats would also vote with
them.
Both Shoup and Dubois feel keenly the
slight which the President is putting upon
them in forcing upon them a candidate
whom they do not desire. They feel that
the President is guilty of gross injustice
in pursuing this course, and they are not at
al backward about saying so.

immense estate in County Tyrone, Ireland,
are said to be now living in northern Ken
lucky, having emigrated to the United
States in 1885 and settled ON what is known
as De Coursey creek, in Kenton county,
some six miles south of Covington. The
Oldest son and supposed heir to the title is
now living In comparative obscurity at

heir OF the accumulation of an estate for a
hundred years. The Accommodations are

According to the account given. in the
