Sir ICdnar BOehm,

Among the most interesting of his rec
objections are those concerning the ElChi
Bey of the Crimea, whose statue will be
considered by many among Sir Edgar's
finest works. He described the fascinat-
ing effect of Lord Strutford de Redcliffes
personal appearance, his stern iron bound
jaw, sparkling blue eye, clear cut feat
ures, overhanging brows, and the naughty
carriage Of his head.
"Any one who ever saw him under any
circumstances" he said, must have guess
ed at once how great u man he was"
Then he went on to tell stories of the FL
Chi's passionate temper and good heart,
and how he was lord of the Turk and the
Russian and of the government at home
by right equally of his commanding intel
lect and his fiery, unhrdlcd moods.
81 thought | should have had him down
on me once" said Sir Edgar, humorously.
"He did not like the bust had made Of
him, and knitting his great brows on me,
he shouted out, why, you have made me
look like n bad tempered mani"
A story, as being specially characteristic
of the sculptor himself, must be given. He
was dining with a score of friends, each
with score of years Of success upon his
shoulders when the old question was rails.

A mistake which cost the British govern.
ment about as much territory rs there is in
the state of Rhode Island has come to
light. The error consists Of the fact that
the iron monuments at Blaine, and for
many miles cast Of there, are 800 yards
north Of the forty -ninth parallel, which
should be the next boundary line.
Ensign Edward Moale, Jr., of the United
States navy, and connected with the United
States coast survey, tells the story. Three
years ago Ensign Moala was ON the United
States surveying schooner which was op.
Grating in the vicinity Of Blaine. The au-
thorities ut Washington sent out charts
containing the latitude and longitude
which are filled in with the result of the
surveys
Attached to the schooner was Assistant
S. S. Gilbert, who had charge of the party
working on shore. lie sent in plated re
suit of his work, which was filled into
maps received from headquarters at Wash
ington When Gilbert's charts were plat
ted in these maps it was found that the
boundary monuments at Blaine and for a
distance east thereof, were 800 yards to the
north Of the forty ninth parallel
''At first we thought we were mistaken, "
said Ensign Moale, "and carefully went
over the work time and again, only to
verify the fact that the boundary monu-
ments were further north than they should
be-"
''How did the mistake occur?"
81 suppose when the boundary line sur
vey was made in 1859 under the direction
of the joint American and English com
mission that slight error was made by
the surveyors in northern Montana or tho
Rocky mountains. This was tritling at
the start, but kept widening out until it
covers 800 yards wide nj the Straits Of
Georgia"
"Can the British demand the territory
back?"
mo, they cannot, because the boundary
line between the United States and Can
ada is fixed by these monuments, which
are of iron and are placed every mile from
the Lake of the Woods to the straits Of
Georgia From The Lake of the Woods to
the Atlantic the boundary line is fixed by
the lakes and rivers. This fact has never
beeen officially reported to Washington"

once spent awihter with family where
the mother aud DE daughters performed
most Of the household erryca, only calling
in woman on wash days md for extra
work.
They were in moderately comfortable cir.
cumstances and considering their habits
and their income, should never have been
greatly worried about money matters. But
the daughters were always in debt, and the
mother, who was widow, was in per-
petual worry about bills. The allowances
were always spent before they were re-
ceived, and the aggregate Indebtedness was
far more than the sum provided, so that
the surplus debt accumulated rapidly. 1t
was puzzle to me for some time how they
managed TO get into such corners They
bought continually and bought good
things, but never seemed to have anything
fit to wear except their most recent pur
chases, What became OF the many articles
which were brought into the house could
never imagine until one day / overheard
conversation that let light in upon the
subject.
One of the daughters had been caught in
rainstorm the night before, and her dress
was soaked, mud splasLed and torn She
had taken it Off hurriedly, dropped it on
the floor in one corner Of the room and for
gotten IT,, she said, aud it was one mass of
wrinkles and creases She gave it n few
dashes with the whisk broom, then in dis
gust declared that it was no good and that
she would throw il into the heater. Suit
ing the action TO the word, she bundled up
the dress took il to the cellar and a mo-
ment later nothing remained OF it but
ashes. A few days later an out of season
hat and some i'll fitting but expensive shoes,
only half worn, went the same way.
When articles were inquired for some ex-
cuse was made for their non-appearance,
and rs time went on they were forgotten.
The mother was a happy-golucky sort of
person, who was TO IN extent ruled by her
daughters, and they silenced her remon-
strances whenever she ventured, and by
declaring that the things were perfectly
useless, and why not have them out of the
way2
Articles of furniture requiring only
moments repcirs were broken up for
kindling, tins with Rpeck of a hole in
were given to the ashman, and everything
and anything the puttngin order Of which
took time or pains were disposed of in the
same way But it was into the capacious
jaws of the heater that the goods and chat

Henrioo Contest.

All the indications 60 10 show that the
Republicans of Henrico feel that the days
of their rule in that county are numbered.
For the first time in many years the
county Democrats have awakened 10 a
realization of their responsibility-that
they ought not 10 submit to the rule of the
enemy when 1t is IN their power, by a
vigorous and united effort, to throw it off.
Their duty is plain. All see it. Other much
ss-fayored counties have put their affairs
in the control of the white voters, and so
it should be with the populous, wealthy,
and intelligent county which almost encir-
cles Richmond city.
We trust that our entire ticket will be
elected. There ought 70 be no scratch
ing" no breaking Of ranks. no swapping
OF votes, but "a straight, square, dead-in-
earnest fight.
The Democratic nominations were made
nj primary election, which was not only
fairly conducted, but largely attended.
Every one of our voters then and there had
an opportunity 10 express his choice. If
all did not do il, At was because some were
content for their friends to act for them.
They left it TO the majority. So now the
obligation is upon the whole Democratic
community TO assist in the victory which
seems assured-which is certainly assured
if there is 70 be no "split-ticket," and no
Democrats decoyed from duty by the per-
suasions of the enemy.
The Democrats Of Henrico should take
possession of the county. 1t is theirs by
right. They have been slow in claiming it,
but now that their minds have been made
up let there be no hating or hesitating.
Forward, and to victoryl

The South and the Leagues.

Mr.. THuEsToN, president Of the National
Convention Of Republican Leagues. spoke
for the members Of those leagues when in
his opening address at Cincinnati he de-
manded the enactment of n national cleo
tion-law. The reason he gave for making
this demand was that IL the negro was not
counted for representation in Congress
and the electoral colleges the Democratic
party could not exist, and If the negro 'ras
counted al the polls the Democratic party
would die. SO, according TO Mr. THURsToN,
the Democratic party is 20 die in either
event This declaration shows what manner
of men constitute the National League.
They are. as a whole, malignants. They
hope 10 achieve success by appealing to
The war prejudices Of the northern people.
But il is too late. That cannon is spiked.
II will never again be able TO render service
TO the Republican party even as Quaker
gun. We have no doubt that majority
of the Republican voters of the country
are displeased with the course OF these
leagues. large and small, scattered all over
the Union and endeavoring to control the
action of the Republican party. There
are in that party thousands of sagacious
mon who know that these leagues will, II
allowed to accomplish their purpose, mo-
nopolize all the bonors and all the emolu-
ments of the Federal Government when
ever the Republican party shall be IN
power. They constitute au imprtum IN
impeyio. They are of6ce-seekers. They
are. in q word, not patriots, but seekers
after place and pelf. They deserve no
thing at the hands Of the people. They
would rather keep the country in tur-
moil than surrender the Offices of Gov
eminent to the Democrats or any other
than their own organization of Treasury
plunderers.
The people of the South will be remind.
ed by the action of the National League OF
what they gained when in the last congress
sional elections the voters trampled under
foot these unpatriotic leaguers and their
schemes. We can never be too grateful
for the great blessing of a Democratic
House of Representatives. which stands
between us and dire disaster. We should
never desert the Democratic party so long
as Il continues its career of patriotic use
fulness. Imagine, if you can, the de-
plorable condition which would now have
been ours if the Republicans had succeed
ed last year in passing national election
law and you will be ready TO rejoice with
all your heart that a good Providence did
not permit that calamity TO fall upon us.
