VALUE OF THE PERSIAN GULF.

View Expressed by Warren Hastings
Nearly Ninety Years Ago.
In the autumn of the year 1914
young naval lieutenant arrived at Spit
head. The frigate Undaunted, of which
he was first lieutenant, had just taken
Napoleon to Elba, and had arrived at
Spithead to be paid off on the general
peace. Lieut.. Hastings bethought him
that he was within few miles of the
most illustrious member Of his race
and he turned out of his way to call
at DaylesfOrd house and pay his re-
spects to Warren Hastings. He was
cordially welcomed by the great gov
ernor general Of India, whom he found,
as he described him to the writer Of
an article in the New York Tribune,
"a little old man, with black velvet
cap on his head, sitting by the fire in
his library" A good deal of CONVEX
sation ensued. Warren Hastings in
quired with interest where the young
lieutenant had served and, after mar
rating his experience in the Mediterra-
mean, not forgetting, we may be sure,
his personal acquaintance with the
Emperor, Lieut.. Hastings went on to
say that he had also cruised in the
Indian ocean. and had been for some
time surveying in the Persian gulf.
At the mention Of that sea, Warren
Hastings became voluble. "Ah." he
said, ''that is the most important posi-
ton in Asia-One of the most impor-
tant in the world" And then, after
a short pause, and raising himself in
his chair: IF were the war minister
Of the Gar I would not spend time
and effort in striving to get to Constan-
tinople by the way of Europe; should
endeavor to occupy Persia and to es-
tablish myself at the head Of the Per-
sian gulf. I should then be in a fine
position. could strike at India with
the one hand and at Asia Minor with
the other; should take Constantine
pie in the rear" These words were
uttered with remarkable animation
and clearness, and with a conviction
which showed that the famous diplo-
matist and ruler had mastered the
facts and thought out the subject.

mellifiuent tones. one day wien the
soup she had presided over had given
him great satisfaction, that after
leave you, Lucy had better have a seq
ond girl
Mr.. Holland looked up in blank sur
prise, and calmly and sweetly the lady
went on:
Katie, though good girl as far as
she goes, is very inefficient She is
honest, but she is miserable cook,
and very wasteful. But all such young
girls are; they waste half enough to
keep a family. And the washes are
very heavy; gentlemen and babies"
she said, with ripping laugh, "make
a great deal of washing, you know,
and Katie is very slow, and if You
have to put it out that is very ex-
pensive. And then there is SO much
sewing to be done. / did hope we
should find time to make UP your new
linen before l left, but it is not cut
out yet, and Lucy will never get
through dozen shirts alone. Poor
girl! the parish and the baby make
such heavy demands upon her time,
think she will have to put your shirts
out to be made" And with a few
pleasant remarks about the parish and
the weather, she smilingly withdrew.
But the good seed had been carefully
sOwn. The parsOn, though not over
wise in general, was sharp and shrewd
where money was in question, and
knew the full value Of dollars and
cents. He took the matter into con-
sideration, nicely balanced the pros and
cons. He knew that Mrs. Briant, in
her quiet, lady-like way, had been
very efficient in his family; she super
intended the cooking, and under her
direction were prepared the savory
| meats that his soul loved. He knew,
too, that since her advent among them
his weekly expenses had been lessen
ed, not increased. He knew that the
liberal board which she had insisted
| upon paying ever since she had been
with them amounted to half as much
as his salary, while her generous gifts
supplied many needs of the little
household. He knew that she relieved
his wife of much care and labor; and
that her experience during the baby's
troubles in the ivory business, upon
which he had just entered, had already
saved him the fatigue and expense Of
many a visit to the doctor; and all
these loving services were freely CIV
en-. On the other hand, if she left, all
this must stop. An additional servant
would cost him three dollars week,
to begin with, and how much in waste
and discomfort? And as to putting
out washing and sewing, those were
bugbears of unknown expense which
he could not estimate The parson
drew his conclusiOn-he was used to
that business; ''in conclusion" was his
favorite portion Of his sermon-so, in
conclusion, he requested Lucy to invite
her mother to become a permanent
member Of the family; and Lucy, who
in her unselfshness thought dear
Bozzy did it all for her sake, could
not express her joy and gratitude.

A JUDICIAL FARCE.

The suit against disappointment Of
the Carson Mint, Jewett w. Adams,
which has ben dismissed, was the
greatest farce that was ever enacted
or attempted in any judicial tribunal
on the face of the earth. It's stupidity
was only eIualed by the contemplate
partisianship by which it was evident
ly actuated The endeavor to hold an
caused by thefts committed under a
previous administration for which two
Of the thieves were convicted, senten-
ced and served six years each in the
penitentiary, is, we opine, a president
in the history of the American juri5-
prudence. The suit was based upon
the miserable techinacility of the rec
eipt given by the incoming superinten1-
enl for bullion in accordance with the
record of weight and fineness as shown
by the figures upon the bars, the Gus
tomary practice in all minis in the
United States and probably in the
world and which bars are proven to
have been "doctored' by the thieves,
to make them correspond with the
amount and values of the bullion that
should have been turned over to the
succeeding administration. There was
no more likelihood of obtaining a
judgement against Adams and his
bondsmen than against the Director
of the MINIS, or any other official at
Washington who had never been with
in three thousand miles of the lootei
mint. If the department of justice
of which the United States Attorney
General is the head, would manifest
little of the zeal and strenuousitv
displayed in the attempt to hold a
Democrat responsible for Republican
thievery, in bringing to justice the true
viOlaters of the law, it would comman l
the respect of the people who are made
to suffer by the lawless acts of the
pets of the present administration, to
a pecuniary extent, beside which the

COL. Villas ADDRESS.

The address delivered by Col. VIM. T.
Villas nj the Opera house yesterday even
ing was Il mastery effort. Mr.. Villas
discussed the issues of the campaign in
a dignifel, eloquent, logical manner
aud made profound impression upon
the large, enthusiastic audience, which
greeted his remarks with frequent and
hearty applause. The speech was
characterized by the classical purity of
n great statesman. 1t was not the effort
of n spellbinder. There was no mis-
representation and no attempt mt exag
geration. The reasoning was the very
quntessence of flawless logic.
His argument against the iniquitous
policy of the protective tariff was un.
answerable. He demonstrated the
democratic contention that the present
tariff enriches the favored few at the
expense of the many, and that it is,
therefore, contrary TO the democratic
principle of equal rights TO all He
showed that the expenditures Of the
national government during the last
eight yea under the republican policies
amounted to more than the entire eX.
pense incurred during the civil war;
and that because of republican eXtrava
gance in RAINING the national govern
ment the people of Wisconsin had TO
groan under an unnecessary burden of
Sl5, 600, coo in the shape of an excessive
indirect tax. He showed that the tariff
was the mother of trusts and that the
latter were in every way fostered and
sheltered 10y republican policies. The
larger part of the address WAS devoted
to the state issues, which were very ably
