CRITERIONs OF DIPLOMACY.

How many American readers
could tell, without consulting an
official directory, the names Of
the diplomats who represent for
eign governments at Washing
ton? Almost every intelligent
man would be able to name the
British Ambassador, because he
has been before the public for
some years in connection with
international questions; but even
he is known only in his official
capacity. He does not go around
the country Grating at this, that
and t'other function. His bust
ness is to be a diplomat, not a
photograph.
In all our history only two En-
glish ministers have distinguishes
ed themselves unpleasantly by
loose talk or action One Of
them was given his passport for
having conniyed at foreign re-
cruiting during the Crimean war.
The other was dismissed for adj
vising a psuedo B~ritish-American
how to vote in the national elec~
ton of 1888.
How about our own ministers
to England and other countries?
Why r. they SO afflicted
with a mania for opening the
ministerial mouth only to put the
official foot in it? At last an
American Ambassador has been
publicly, if mildly, rebuked by
Congress for indulgence in that
dangerous habit, if habit it be,
and not a variety of the hoof-
andsmouth disease.
Nobody knows-Mr. Baya1d
least of all probably-why he,
and Mr.. Phelps, and Lowell
before him, felt impelled to break
into oratory on any or no provo
cation. while representing the
United States at the Court of St.
James. They had no precedent
or example in the conduct of
other resident ministers who,
being trained to diplomacy,
knew enough to preserve an elo-
quent silence on all occasions.
A man who is sent to repre-
sent his country abroad is not,
or should not be, expected to
fulfil his mission by lung power
alone. Nobody in England cares
a straw for the opinions Of the
United States Ambassador EX>
traordinary-most extraordi
nary sometimes-and Minister
Plenipotentiary on the culture of
cabbage, the higher education Of
costermongers, or any other los
cal subject.
When the Extraordinary Ans
bassador improves the occasion
to startle his hearers with the
thrilling information that blood
is thicker than water, or that
Americans are a turbulent peos
pie who need to be governed
with a strong hand, they only
wonder what he is driving at, and
think, if they think at ali about
it, that the Yankees are a queer
people whom it will be quite safe
to jockey on an international
question. They are naturally
disappointed and angry when
they discover that the represen-
tative of the United States does
not represent his country at all,
but only the small district known
as the County Of Buncombe.
Our diplomats should be better
trained to the hard but useful
virtue of silence. Instead of
raising their salaries, let an ap-
preparation be made for muzzling
them, and a fraction Of their sal
aries be deducted every time
they attend banquet and turn
loose their unwise wiggle-waggle
tongues.

THREE ANECDOTES.
One OF General Lee-He Would Give
n Salute.

"B." contributes the following to the
Warrenton Virginian:
In 1860, when General Lee returned from
tho disastrous Gettysburg campaign, his
army in crossing the Shenandoah river
had to use their pontoon-bridge. This was
quite a curiosity to some of the citi-
zens. Mr. William Buck was watch
ing the army cross, and approached a
group of officers on the ground. One OF
them was asleep. and Mr.. BIS horse COM
menced to nip the grass, and In doing
so touched the officer with his nose. He
awoke, and recognizing Mr. B. said, Let
me introduce you to General Lee"
After the Introduction the General and
staff mounted their horses to resume their
tourney. Mr. b. said, General, IL you
will allow me l win take you by a near
way to Front Royal, by which you will
avoid the dust" General Lee thanked
him, and said ne would gladly avail him
self of the offer. They proceeded TO the
top OF the high hill between Front Royal
and Riyerton. when Il magnificent scene
met their view. From the foot of Guard
Hill. on the north. to the entrance OF
Chester's Gap, distance OF three miles
the army was marching General Lee
refined his horse. and glancing at the ar
ray, exclaimed, "Ohl war; horrible war"
Approaching the home of Mr.. r., the
latter invited the General and staff TO
stop and partake OF some buttermilk,
which they did. The Misses Buck went
to the piano and played a popular war
song, known as the Southern Chant of
Defiance and when they reached the
verse,
you can never win us back, never,
never"
Though we perish in the track OF our
endeavor,"
General Lee commenced to bow his head
as II he approved the sentiment. He then
at the request Of the ladies wrote his au-
tograph in their albums and proceeded
his way.
