Taking Advantage Of Rising Wave.

There was time when Bourke Cochran
was not thus able to rule his own spirit,
but he was then young, and now is rising.
The unfortunate temper forever bars the
way TO oratorical greatness Cochran ruled
his own spirit, and by SO doing subdued the
turbulent spirit of the political mob. His
words are insinuating and his disagreeable
statements are put in a pleasantly serious
way. His satire is we'll rounded and oiled
down. But 1 think the attraction of his
last Chicago speech lies in its succinct SIM
plicity and in its perfect adaptation to the
subject and the hour.
Mr.. Cochran is young. He has improved
wonderfully within 10 years. He is a gen.
tleman of fortune. What may not be in
store for such man? He is man for
great events What extraordinary event
will arise to put him to the greater test7

the Yenikale and Baidar expeditions, or
during the siege of Sevastapol." During
the Franco-German war she earned fresh
laurcls, and as the result she was deco
rated with the military medal which
now hangs on her breast next to the
Crimean medal, which she had already
received.
Another woman who deserves the most
enthusiastic mention is Nine. Louise
de Beaulieu. She lost an arm during
the Franco-Prussian war of 1901, and
besides the military medal she possesses
eight "Medailles de Sauretage" (medals
granted for having saved lives at the
peril of her own) and the cross of officer
of the Legion of Honor.
She distinguished herself at tho bat

the wounded all over the bloody field
under hail of bullets and balls, and at
Champigny, on the Cd of December, an
obus shattered her right arm while she
was bending over dying man. Even
this did not stop her, for she remained
to the last moment at Groslay bandag-
ing the wounded with one hand and

Sad to relate, Nine de Beaulieu is to-

No better description has ever been
given of the cantinicre than is to he

is the true typo, if somewhat poetized,
of this vivacious, joyous, pluclly, I'M

fair sex, who has for SO long period
followed the French army to glory, and,
alas, of late years to defeat. Ever
cheerful and bright, the cantiniere has

namely, resolution, courage touching to
temerity, and complete devotion to suf-

army of France should be repining over
tho loss of SO useful and SO attractive,

that the fiat which has gone forth re-
garding her has saddened so many a

Countless are indeed the deeds of
valor and nbnegation which can be laid

that the preliminary reports just issued ihdlea'e
that the exports for December were the largest ever
known for one month"; The gain In breadstuiS alohe
vas $50 100 900, and the net increase In prlhupai
items was nearly 20 per cent, indicating exports lor
the month in excess OF S116,O0O,OOO. The exports
of -four increased per cent. The exports OF wheat
were 10 800 900 bushels against 4,sooOOo bushels one
year ago while the exports of cotton were 4oooooo
pounds greater than IN December, 1870. IDese
enormous exports overshadowed all oiher ieaurs' vi
the commercial situation.
Another important fact is that the iron output was
not diminished In December. as is usual, owing 10
the stoppage Of furnaces during the Holidays but "
ass.os2 tons weekly against 1sa135 on December
