went with 200 infantry, to dignity them
by that name, 40 cavalry and two old
cannon. With their aid he killed zoo
Mexicans defending the town of Her

it. But not for long; the Mexican au-

return to Paris and no longer aspire to

PERSONAL.

At the durbar state ball Lord
Kitchener's knowledge of the figures
was of the vaguest kind and in con-
sequence all he succeeded in doing was
to tie himself and his partner in the
most absurd knot. to the intense
amusement of the others in the set and
of the large crowd looking on. The
hero of Khartoum was beaming with
delight, and so he Numbered through
to the end. When the music ceased at
the end of a quardrille he was in the
middle of the room looking for his
partner, and laughed heartily when she
came up and found him.
AT a recent function in Washington
John w. Foster. the diplomat and ex-
Secretary of State, was sent by Mrs.
Foster to get her some salad. He pro-
cured a plate of the dainty and was
returning with it when some one ask
ed him a question about the Alaskan
boundary. Mr.. Foster has a fad on
that subject. He began to talk earnest
ly. Then he gesticulated. The result
was that the salad slid gracefully off
the plate and landed full on the front
breadth of Mrs. Fosters magnificent
dress. The conversation about the
Alaskan boundary ended right there
Mr.. Foster had more serious things to
think about.

HISTORY IN EULOGTEs.

1t seems almost iconoclastic to have
one break in upon a congressional
eulogy for the purpose of keeping the
record straight" on a matter of his
tory. The people do not go to congress
sional eulogies for their historical
data. These funeral orations live for a
moment, then are embalmed in the
Congressional Record and laid away.
For this reason the widest latitude has
been permitted to eulogists in Con-
gress. They have not heretofore been
required to confine themselves to alb
solute, historical facts, hut have been
permitted a free play of the magma
ton. Beautifully rounded periods,
pearls of thought and gems of express
sion. are more valued in the memorial
Grafton than mere facts, which are
sometimes bothersome.
And yet the New York Tribune feels
impelled to revise for correction the
touching tribute paid in the Senate
some days ago to the late Amos j.
Cummings by the Hon. Chauncey NJ.
Depew, senator from New York. 1t
appears that Senator Depew was in a
brilliant funeral-speech making vein.
and his imagination was working dou-
BILE time turning out touching word
pictures in historical frames. The
Tribune has no fault to find with the
imagery, but does find fault with the
facts. Senator Depew said, for in
Stnnce that WbiIa xUnrlrincr IL, 4bo oo,,,
posing room of the Tribune, Mr.. Cum
lnings in a short time attracted the
attention of Horace Greeley, who ad-
vanced him to a position on the edi-
torial staff, and he finally became
managing editor" Commenting on this
the Tribune says editorially: THE
truth is that Mr.. Cummings never was
and never came near being managing
editor of the Tribune" Furthermore.
the Tribune gives it out, not in so
many words, but quite as plainly, that
John Russell Young. who was manag-
ing editor at that time, thought so lit
tie of Mr.. Cummings ability that he
discharged him.
But the gem Of Senator Depew's
Grafton was his pathetic recital of the
breaking-down and death of Horace
Greeley at the close of the presidential
campaign of 1872. The Senator gave
the story as an eyewitness. He and
Mr.. Greeley had made speeches from
the Same platform at Pleasantville on
the day in question. ne said. They rode
10 New York together. and together
went to Mr.. Greeley's study. The
Senator gave ctrcumstantial descrip-

named certain pictures-caricature
that were scattered about the floor.
There, in the scclusion OF that study.

Those of our citizens who have Wis
tied the Telfair Academy recently have
no doubt noticed how very attractive
it is in each of it's departments,
in what perfect condition the
statuary and pictures are. The
Telfair Academy collection is of
course a small one in comparison with
try, but there is no other collection,
large or small, that has so great a per-
centage of works of art of the highest
merit. Every one who visits the acad-
envy is pleased with it, and visitors
from distance are loud in their praise
of it. Its fame has gone abroad, and
the proportion OF tourists who make it
a point to see it is much larger now
than it was a few years ago. Indeed
the number of visitors is so much
greater that it is a subject of comment
among those who are informed in re-
gard to the matter.
Director Brandt has done a great
work in putting the academy on its
present high plane, and he is still I'M
proving it. That it is a gem of its
kind is due to him. He has a surprise
in store for its friends-some paintings
which he will exhibit early in the
spring. Those who have been fortunate
enough to see them are enthusiastic in
regard to them. They will be a great
addition to the academy, and will add
much to its attractiveness.
OF course the people of Savannah are
proud of the academy, but it is doubtful
If they appreciate it yet at it's full
worth. They are gradually getting a
better understanding of what it will
eventually mean to the city. AS it
grows the people will feel it's influence
more and more, and this influence Will
manifest itself in their lives and occu-
pations. 1t is said that the reason why
other countries have not been able to
get any of Frances foreign trade away
from her is that her manufactures have
an artistic quality possessed by those
of no other nation. The time may
come when Savannah, owing to the in
fiuence of the Te1fair Academy, will
produce cotton fabrics or other manu-
features that will excel similar articles
produced elsewhere in this country.
