JUSTIN M'GARTHY'S LATEST HIS REMINISCENCES OF A LONG AND USEFUL CAREER. Acecdotes and Personal Studies of the Leading Men of Two Hemispheres—First-Sight of London—A Parliamentary Reporter — The Duke of Wellington, John Bright, Dilasrue and Garbaldi—Literary London—Thackeray and Dickens—Entertaining Remarks on Parcell 一 Mr. Justin McCarthy possesses preeminently the art of being entertaining. He has caught from Macaulay certain rhetorical tricks that reconstructor for the audience, and forced their universal acceptance. He is not a great thinker, he is not a great doer, he is not a great literary artist. But his deeds have always been honorable and his thoughts and words have always been written histories that are ever readable, and will live as pleasant gossip about events rather than authoritative records of those events. He has failed as a novice, but he has persevered in perception nor the mastery of form which are necessary for the artist. But he has failed agreeably and honestly. He has ever regretted reading his fiction, and then after reading save as a transitory pleasure. His personality appears to have the same charm and the same defects as his writings. He has not almost every beloved friend, and he won't worth meeting. He seems to have won universal liking and universal esteem. Yet it was the liking and esteem that are accorded to the less forceful individual that he has not invented in the career of a great protagonist. His constitutional urban met answering urbanity, even from the men who disagreed with him politically, sexually and religiously, but who never feared him. Needless to say that a man of this kindly and agreeable type is especially fitted for the chronicling of acceptable gospels about his more famous contemporaries. Two volumes of "Reminiscences" which the Harpers have in press for publication early next week amply corroborate this view. They constitute a storehouse of anecdotes and impressions that will remain as a permanent possession of the world. It was in February, 1852, that Justin M. Carthy, then an eager young Irishman of twenty-two, born and bred in Cork city, in the South of Ireland, first came to London. Long before, he tells us, he had somehow made up his mind that he would settle in the metropolis some time and live by writing for newspapers and magazines, and even became the author of books. His equipment consisted of a tolerably good literary education and a certain mastery of shorthand. In Ireland at that time young men of his creed—for M. Carthy was and is a Catholic—were cut off from any share in the honors and the practical advantages of a university education. So he was forced to be content with such education as he could obtain at a private school. Luckily he fell in with competent teachers, but, luckier still, he had the faculty of absorbing knowledge through omnivorous reading. "Mine, in fact, was a literary education altogether, the sort of education inspired and directed by a love of reading for reading's own sake. The only science of which I knew anything was astronomy, and the fact that in 1819 he and pictureque rather than scientific sense. One way and another I had made myself acquainted, and in many cases well acquainted, with all the great authors of Greece and Rome, of England and France, of Germany and Italy. This, then, was the sort of literary outfit with which I hoped to make a way for myself into London journalism and English literature. But he confesses that, looking backward now upon those early days, he feels almost lost in wonder at the lack of judgment he showed in the direction of his first experiments. He sent a bundle of translations from Uhland's "Baldad" to Dickens' Household Words, which cared little for poetry and not at all for translations; he began a translation of Rhetoric "Lithos" and he forwarded a biography of Reese, and he was a drugmatic poet, to a London magazine of that time, devoted altogether to smart essays about London life and London society, about St. James' and St. Giles'. All these ventures proved disappointments, and Mr. McCarthy laughingly acknowledges that they remind him of Thackeray's amazing essay about the early career of the Cornhill Magazine and about the lady who wrote the first English translation of Feneon's "Telemache" would make a most interesting serial for the new period. If at first, however, his literary ambition found glorious food for his literary imagination in the sights and scenes of London town. He I passed brought to me some association out of a book. The old lions on the south side called back Chunze to my mind. The Temple gardens on the north side once served Dickens and Thackeray. Enstache was a place to linger in and to haunt. The monastery on once Hall Falstaff was a place as he felt when he first made holiday in London, especially if he were a bookish Falstaff. He was a provincial life with associations drawn from English literature." As a kid who took interest in politics as a child, he was only natural that he wandered to see something of the houses of parliament. The first chance he got introduced him as a spectator in the The debate was dry and dull. There were only a few peers there, but among those few was the Duke of Wellington. That fact compensated for every drawback. "I watched the duke as he sat with bowed head and stooping shoulders, and revelled in a sense of positive wonder at my own good fortune to be there and see him. There sat the victor of Waterloo—the man who had dethroned the great Napoleon. I was egotistic enough to exult in my own mind even then, over the important figure which I should be certain to make among my friends in my native city when I got back there, to tell them the truth. I was seen the Duke of Wellington, sitting on the foot of a lord's. McCarthy did not merely see the duke—he also heard him. He heard him make a speech, and, although it was but a short speech and not remarkable for eloquence, it astonished and impressed the young Irishman more at the time than the greatest oration by the greatest parliamentary orator could have done. The duke had been offering to the house his opinion on the measure under consideration. Another lord was now criticising his remarks. In the course of his criticism this noble and learned personage ventured on the occasion of the feud, and, as he said, "I have never understood the measure now before the house. This drew the illustrious duke. He sprang to his feet in reply, and struck it table with indignant gesture. "My lord," he said, "my noble and learned lord has said that I don't understand this bill. Well, my lord, THE APPEAL. an that I can say is that I read the bill once, that I read it twice, that I read the three times, and if, after that, I don't understand the bill why then, my lords, all I have to say is that I must be a damned stupid fellow." Then the duke resumed his seat, and that was the only speech McCarthy ever heard him deliver. The lad's first experience of the house of commons—a peculiar one—came some days later. From a friend he succeeded in getting an order for the strangers' gallery. He entered breathless with emotion, in a very agony of expectation. Which of the great orators was it likely he would hear first—Palmerston, Gladstone, Dismell, Abden or Bright? For a while the beating of his own heart was the only sound he heard. At last he grew calm. He could listen, he could distinguish tones. By degrees it began to dawn upon him that these tones were strangely familiar. His eyes corroborated the awful suspicion of his ears. The speaker occupying the floor of the house was a representative from the South of Ireland, from McCarthy's own county, a dull and prosy gentleman, with whose powers of boredom the youth had been intrigely familiar for years. This gentleman talked on and on for an hour, until McCarthy, angry as well as disappointed, left the gallery in his wrath and thereby forfeited his place. It was not long before the young man succeeded in obliterating a position as paranormal. He now had an excellent chance to familiarize himself with the manner and style of the author, and at the same time, Familiarity in this case never led to the proverbial result. Mr. McCarthy never lost his capacity for heroism. For John Bright McCarthy always felt that as an orator Bright was more captivated than Gladstone. But when he expressed this opinion to Bright himself told McCarthy that he didn't know what he was talking about. Then the first argument the question as dispassionately as if the two men had been discussing the Cicero. He explained what whereas he Bright, could make an effective speech now and then. Gladstone was always at any moment but to mount his warhorse and lead a change. There was not a doubt that anyone could possibly think of 'right being affected about anything': was simply the sinner conviction of a man who had more capacity for continuous action than himself and was honestly anxious that the world should know the fact as well. When Bright was not inclined to argue a question he had sometimes a rough, but not inscrutable, debate with a humorous turn of phrase which interceded controversy. During McCarthy's time the American writer on the liberal economy laying down the law to the government coming successively out of the struggle. The economist arrayed facts and figures together in the most literal manner, saying that even if the Northern states should come out of the struggle with a technical victory it must be only to shift the balance. "When he found himself growing exhausted for want of breath he closed his eyes and said, 'Mr. Bright, what have you to say to that?' Bright pussed out for a moment, then he opened the door and then blainly replied, "Well, my opinion is that the Northern States will manage." One man whom Bright despised was Disraeli. Yet even toward Disraeli his contempt was for the man in his public, not in his private character. He could not admire his novels, even as political studies. McCarthy remarked to him once that, after all, and when he had said everything we could say against Disraeli as a politician, there was something of which ordinary persons might feel proud in the fact that by his own abilities he had raised himself far above his original position in life and had become not only the colleague of peers, but sometimes the creator of peers. Bright replied that he too might feel proud of that if he did not remember something that was said in Lord Lytton's novel "Rienzl" about one who had risen above his own class, but had only contrived to do so by severing his interests and his sympathies altogether from the class out of which he had Mr. McCarthy informs us that Bright and Dishen, when they met in the house of Dishen, had as high an opinion of Dishen had as high an opinion of Bright's eloquence as any of Bright's companions could have had. Were we sitting together one night—I think in the smoking room of of the house of commons—taking, like a pair in Kirklees, the taxes, ministers and kings, and, among other subjects, of the amount of time that we were sitting together a moment, Dishen pursued a moment and then said, "You know, Bright, what you and I come here for—both come here for the same purpose, but he assured me that it was impossible to convince Dishen that he was serious about the point and to argue the point and listened with a quiet, half-sarcastic smile, evidently quite satisfied in his own mind that a man who knew the point and listened with the desire of obtaining fame, Bright's objection to Dishen was founded mainly on the assumption that Dishen would not be anything else; and that, therefore, making his way to a high position in parliament and in society. This sort of assumption or co-occurrence belonged to Dishen, and he could not free himself from it. He judged everybody by a rigid moral standard and assumed that every mind, and which assumed that every mind possessed of intelligence must really be in favor of an extended electoral power, and was quite able to understand that a man might differ absolutely from him on the most essential principles of conscience and admiration. Ma. McCarthy has an entertaining chapter on the exile world of London in 1880 in *The Great War*. He is the most interesting reminiscences. No foreigner in his time, he tells us, had so much to say. He had been welcomed by all the civic magnates. But Kossuth had been ignored by society, Gambaldi, on the contrary, was a great and charming figure in the gay world, but of the more serious. The leaders of fashion rushed at him, the chief members of both political parties competed with each other for the honor of entertaining him. The cause of Italy was just then very popular in London, and the pope was very unpopular. Garabaldi was welcomed in one coterie as the man who had led the thousand of Marsala to the expulsion of the Bourbon king from Naples, and by another coterie as the man who, in the name of united Italy, had invaded the dominions of the pope. Only the Irish and the Catholics generally held aloof from him, and it need hardly be said that the Irish did not count for very much in London society. My first glimpse of Garabaldi introduced me to a very striking and picturesque figure. Everybody knows Garabaldi's BRITISH ARMY BOER TERRITORY PRETORIA REHSE OOM PAUL: I DON'T SEE WHY THAT OLD ADAGE ABOUT THE MONTH OF MARCH SHOULDN'T WORK IN THIS CASE. race from portraits and statues and stateries. He wore the 'famous red shirt,' and he wore the 'famous black tie' of some silken, soft substance, which he draped about him with careless grace, and a get-up as oddly out in appearance with an assembly of respectfully dressed women, as well as the well imagined. His appearance was undoubtedly theatrical, or, indeed, melodrama, and his costume costume with a simple and stylish appearance which seemed to make it becoming and actually unpretentious. No doubt during the period of his career a certain love for striking colors and picturesque garments, and it seemed at first chance as if the ought to have figured out how to do it, but at about the time when 'Oh! give me but an Arab young ladies' still a popular song among young ladies. Later Mr. McCarthy had some talk with the Auburn students, who expressed his great regret that I rishmanized in general regarded him with such feelings. He said that I am an enemy of the pope, that he do not always remember, that I should fight for the pope when we all believed that he was about to head the nation, that I was from the Austrians and the Bourbons. Politics, however; did not engross young literacy's attention to the exclusion of literary attention, he told us. He told us, he tells us, England was under the great literary trivisevate—Dickens, he told us, yet Browning was but the leader of a select few. Even Teenytonny's popularity did not come anywhere near that of Dickens. No one since his time has ever enjoyed the attention of Dickens, and that time. He was generally surrounded by a crowd of young men who sincerely appreciated him, and it seemed to represent all literature. Kind and friendly and encouraging as he alluded to him, McCarthy acknowledges that somehow other, Dickens always made him afraid. BOE REHSE OOM PAUL: I DON'T SEE WHY T nized, who had the same effect upon him, that But was in quite a different way. "Carlyle had a fashion of expressing his opinions which was likely enough to allow any modest young beheader the literary honor he was venerated on the expression of any views. When I spoke of the explain here that who then ruled over England I was not forgetting the rule of Thomas Carlyle, but I felt that I was not by any means a purely literary force, but some means a philosopher with his school. To return, however, to my immediate subject, Dicenne was at all like the fell of Carlyle. In the case of Carlyle I like to run the risk of being snubbed; but I felt that no such risk—I knew that he was far too sweet and kindly in nature to good humber be exuberance of his good humor bore on and kept me in my modest place." Mr. McCarthy confesses he cannot exe- cuse himself that Thackeray, whom he admired more than Thackeray, was pressed him with the same sense of awe or awkwardness. He we thought that Thackeray's presence would have been more inspiring of awe to a young and thou- ghful obscure man. Thackeray was deeply impressed by Thackeray's deed, approached to the gigantic in its propor- tions; he looked far older, but the two men were much about the same size. He was a head and his prematurely white hair gave him an appearance of authority, and he might one might have thought would provoke a stranger. Yet I at least never felt so. He seemed to me to be less self-assertive, and more superiority, than Ockens appeared to be. McCarthy's personal acquaintance with Tennyson was of the slightest. He met Tennyson in a cloud-like a man, at kind of world, quite different from chattering, chattering, rallie land of souls "Robert Browning, on the other hand, I came in later years to know very well. I had always been a devoted admirer of his genius; his iron harpstring sounded a chord that spoke to my mind and heart as no other poet of the day could have done. It, before seeing either man, I were to have evolved from my moral consciousness an idea of Tennyson and of Browning, I think I should have evolved Browning for Tennyson and Tennyson for Browning. I should have pictured Browning as the man withdrawn into the cloud and Tennyson as the brightening figure which came into every household and appealed to every sensibility." In 1855 Mr. McCarthy paid his first visit to the United States. He came over in a journalistic capacity, but his main object was to know something of the life of the country, to get some personal knowledge of its institutions and to make himself for the time one of its population. "Thus I lived somewhat ... as a traveling tinker might be said to do, doing my jobs of work as I went from place to place and earning my expenses as I wandered along. I wrote in American newspapers and magazines; I published books in America; I delivered lectures in American halls and I spoke on American platforms." On this and a succeeding visit to the United States M'Carthy met almost every body of any importance he has. He is totally aware of the peculiar ecistencies. Thus he tells us that three of the best talkers he ever met were Owen Gendell Holmes, George Lowes and Cindy Charles Dickens, Lowell and Chauney Deppe in this order as pre-eminent. But in the higher lights of oratory he finds that he is not a great protagonist of the house of commones, Gladstone, Bright, Desiriel and Cobden, Wet Wendell Phillips and Charles Sumner, and the great Ward Becher, to whom he acknowledges that he was never much attracted, struck him as in a somewhat sier degree public and a great viger, pernaciousness and齐omeness. BRITISH ARMY ETORIA WHAT OLD ADAGE ABOUT THE MONTH THIS CASE. It would be easy to go on quoting from this ever quotable book. From Huxley, Tyndall, Herbert, Spencer, Cardinal Manning and George Elliot to the younger generations, represented by Henry James, Howells and Rudyard Kipling; Mr. McCarthy passes under personal review all the greatest personages of his own time. A special interest attaches to what he says of Charles Stewart Parnell, the great leader, whose banner in his latter days McCarthy felt compelled to desert. He combats all the popular impressions about Parnell's chilling manners, his haughty supercliffousness, his positive rudeness to strangers. "I can only say that, if the man thus described was Parnell, then I never knew Parnell at all, never could even have seen him. For the Parnell with whom I was a esest intimacy for some fifteen years he not the slightest resemblance to that er Parnell, but was, indeed, in every way curiously unlike him. I have seen him in all sorts of companionships, tried by all manner of provocations, beset by bores, perplexed by worries, and I never saw in his manner anything that did not belong to the character of a thorough gentleman. "Nor was there anything unengalal or uncompromising in Parallal's habit of being the long dog of the intimate friends, and he very much enjoyed giving pleasant little dinners in the house of commons, or in some of the best ships he found congenial. He was always a charming host, and, although nobody eating and drinking, viewed as branches of the fine arts, no one could have taken greater pain to make sure that his eating and drinking suit their taste and their comfort." Mr. McCarthy felt convinced that of ear, in the ordinary sense of the word, he had to be careful with such cutlery. But his nervous system was intensely acute, and Mr. McCarthy holds that one reason why he and so much of genetically identical people function into any company where he might happen to meet some who confessed as much to him. "The truth he' said to me more than once, I am nervous about being closed. I note to be hated. After McCarthy's defection the friendship between the two men was unbroken. "The strain of that great disruption too many of oururnell's nerves and tempers, some of some of them positively bewildered by the vehemence he assailed some of his language with which he by his side as long as they believed it, and myself, I am glad to say that disruption did not bring about any breach between him and me. I was well able to lauwance for the temper of a man driven by his great career and to the great hope which he had devoted so many years of his life to those later days, and always to friends, and I am glad now to remember that word ever passed between us in private. Some Interesting Points About This Most Cruelty of People Most Curious of Birds. Ostrich are curious and rebellious birds, with enormous bodies, long legs and small heads. The ostrich farmers, both in Africa and America, are most interesting, and they are tales without number of the strange curious birds. Naturally the first thought being an ostrich is how fast can he run? When feeding the stride is only from 29 to 22 inches; when walking, but not feeding, the stride is 23 inches, but when testing, it possesses wonderful springing qualities, and it can be from 11½ to 14 feet. Taking 12 feet at the average, they would cover about 2 miles an hour. But the stories of bird traveling a mile a minute are open to other traits of which we are always hearing and intelligence. But both usonction and intelligence. OF MARCH SHOULDN'T WORK IN themselves in one of their skins, and, under cover of this, go near enough to kill them. When the bird considers that he has distanced his purrer he often puts his head in the sand, thinking he has thereby holted his purrer. Sometimes, when hotly pursued he can be scared and gives severe wounds with his feet. The habits of ostriches are not particularly attractive. They eat fruits, game, insects, and other food. They snatch and any other food that can be picked up, including all kinds of indigene substances, which they swallow from their mouths. They are actually foolish about laying their eggs; they often begin before the spot has been fixed upon for the nest, and the solitary eggs are often found burying all over the district free from predators. They simply holes in the sand, and vary from three to six feet in diameter. In these are laid, by a single bird, or many in company, from twelve to sixty eggs. They can be kept in the heat of the sun during the day. The males assist in the incubation, and also in taking care of the young until they can provide for themselves. When the birds are in the nest, the primary fowl they run with great rapidity. Europeans do not care for the taste of the ostrich eggs, but bushmen are fond of them. They grow from two to three pounds, and are equal to twenty-four hens' eggs. The flesh somewhat resembles turkey, but is very tough. It will be remembered that the ostrich has been used in the manufacture of brains were served up as food on the tables of the Romans, and are referred to even in the book of Job - Scientific American.

NEW IDEAS IN THE BOER WAR Transaval Soldiers Handle Siege Guns With Surprising Facility—English Operate Steam Plovs and Armored Towers—Wireless Telegraphy Experiments Conducted With Some Success. The course of the war in South Africa was the unreliability of all new concern and definite conclusions. There has been a chain of particular and unusual events which in their entirety led a peculiar firepower. Even the preliminary history and the cause of the war are of unusual characters. Even if the real cause must be determined, the immediate cause was furnished the endangered capitalistic interests of a few persons at whose disposal a great number of particular value. In the case of a state with compulsory service this would hardly have been possible, but in case of hired soldier service the particular value. The trivial exterior character of the plains on the one hand why the sympathies of nearly the entire civilized world are held up on the other hand the English colonial empire receives for the first time support from everywhere, so that troops from all five countries in the field against the small Boer army. Peculiar is the almost insular solution of the one part in the mid of the terri- tory, the other; also the enormous distances on land and sea, which separated the two armies. Surprising is the rapidity and safety with which England effected the transport by sea of the troops to the vast train. Questionable it is whether England master, despite the magnificent preparations, the difficulties of the African coast, the naval power of the world will succeed. Quer an opponent formerly held in contempt, who has not an inch of seacast or naval power and against whom the principal strength of the navy, can only be indirectly employed. A peculiar situation has also been created by the amalgamation of different nationalities in the English element of population in the English through which the line of march and attack leaks is formed by the tribal friends encountered by the colonists, who recounted to English colonial power numerous Englishmen settled in the Beeer field against their own territory and take the field against their own territory, affairs of most nations, which in Europe are an peace with England, are in conflict with France, and are other. The German volunteers, who are recruited from Germans settled in Natal, have also been in a situation similar to that in the English, a peculiar characteristic of this war. Just as the English army cannot be called a people's army nor a militia nor a real hired army, the Boer army cannot be called what is ordinarily known as militia, because a part of it is ready for far in time of peace because the nucleus consists of men who are trained and who are familiar with field duty. And it is peculiar that this army has so far developed a particular tactic consisting of a clever combination of attack and defense, evidently taken from the native tribes. Inasmuch as this tactile has not been practiced in time of peace by the present generation, it is evidently a sort of inherited military instinct. The English army shows a peculiar mixture of old and tried and young and untrained soldiers, and its officer corps is taken from the non-commissioned ranks, not very uniform, and a somewhat similar condition exists with the Boers. For the Boer camp, as a rule, consists of two separate parts, the weather-beaten farmers from the country and the city people, who are mostly English-speaking and represent the intelligence, so to speak, which is shown throughout the homogeneous armies resulting from compulsory military duty. The organization of the English troops is altogether different from German conditions and trains is particularly noteworthy. Thus the staff of an army corps, like those of the infantry, for instance, has not less than 173 horses and 80 mules. While in Germany the division of twelve infantry battalions has one transportable train. In England the brigade of four infantry battalions has one transportable company and a field hospital, 80 that the English is three times as large as the German. Hence, one-eighth of all the English troops are or about 9,000 out of 70,000, consists of non-combatants, and besides these a train of 11,000 horses, 12,000 mules and a mere draft oxen has to be provided for. The advantages of such a strong train is to make it possible for the English to railroad have Pretoria even after all railroads have been built. The advantage of a march without train is shown by the march of Methuen from the railroad station at Hopetown. On the river there lived nothing to eat for twenty-four bushes and in the evening they had spent all their time on the river. The wounded without any may be maimed. But the lack of the commissary department is dangerous in the case of a bush, because his service is his line of business, the situations of which is the furnishing of regular and zoog rations. If this condition is not observed he may 'give notice to' the bush. Similar 'business reasons' probably account for the fact that repeatedly large numbers surrendered to the Bees on the other hand, the courageous attack even on fortified positions, shows that he could inflict if led by determined soldiers but lack of bravery and even of enthusiasm. It is peculiar that one side "manual mously" refrains to use the dumdum cartridge, watch has proved itself to be a useful tool in ponents, inasmuch as the entire fantry in India is provided with this ammunition. It follows that the Indian brigade shipped to South Africa had provided with ammunition of an older date. However, the English infantry uses a hollow-pointed bullet, that is, a muzzle which has a hole about nine millimetre in diameter, to penetrate and consequently a much danker wound than the "thunny" even bullet of the Mauser rifle. Complaints from both sides about the use of a hollow-pointed bullet are plained by the fact that the bullets are all modern rifles at a distance of 32 meters, where the velocity of the bullet is still very high. We have an explosive bullet, therefore an intentionally cause such cruel mutilations. $2.40 PER YEAR. The artillery of the English (Armstrong guns) has not proved equal to that of the Boers (Krupp and Creuzot guns), either in precision or distance of firing. On the other hand, the English are not good at making the gun, but have not been without a blemish. In the case of Boer explosive missiles some fault exists, because the most effective shanneis are hardly ever heard of and their shells frequently do not explode. Whether thin short-程coming is due to the materials of the gun, the gun's gun-type or to the handling of the gun, the gun's gun-type or to the handling of the gun, the fact that the Boers were able to move heavy siege guns from Pretoria to the field of battle with surprising rapidity shows their practical knowledge of the requirements of war. On the other hand, the Boers are not very good at making the gun which on account of their lyddite shells are very dangerous, many miles into the interior, which is also a remarkable achievement. The same can be said of the recently introduced field howitzer batteries, which will prove very useful to the English, because they throw their lyddite guns to the ground, and invisible positions. So far, however, the English artillery has scarcely fulfilled its chief aim, i. e., to prepare the field for the attack of the infantry, because the Boers appear to leave their exposed positions during the preliminary air attack. The Boers are not so well as soon as the infantry of the enemy attacks. The great lack of artillery on the Boer side—the English have three times as many guns—has already been painfully felt in the western field of battle against Lord Methuen, so much the more as the Boers appear to work with some insignificant of batteries, which makes a uniform firing effect extremely difficult. The English cavalry has so far, probably on account of the unfavorable field of operations, poor training, poor leadership, far as an effective clearing of the field is concerned. On the contrary, the Engagement by the Boers was impaired by the Boers and an entire troop of cavalry was made prisoners. At Graspan the nine lancers had the responsibility of protecting the Boers, fighting under cover, is of, of course, the most difficult object of attack, against whom the Boers have shown great elasticity, can have any success. On the other hand, the Boers have shown, while fighting the Boers, the positions of positions and other tactical movements, a very marked respect for threatened cavalry attacks. Probably the entire bulk of cavalry has much to do with Of war technical innovations, the armored railroad trains, hellograph signal systems, and the armored railroad trains, have been employed with success. Whether wireless telegraphy, used on a small scale near Durham, will prove successful, or whether the railroad trains be seen. While the apparatus works any kind of weather, night as well as day, it is very sensitive, cumbersome, exacts the task of construction of separate transport colum. The same is probably true of the steam plow for the rand construction of trenches. Maxim the engineer, who works on sides and are frequently used. These guns adapted for the firing of infantry cartridges are particularly useful for the construction of trenches, afford in a very contracted space almost the entire firing effect of a whole company. These American guns have played an important part during the late maneuvers. The conduct of the war shows marked peculiarities on both sides. The system of the railroad trains consists of concentration of the Boers deerves the most unstinted admiration, particularly the view of the colossal distance and the high speed which had to be traversed. But the Boers have shown a particular aversion to open attack; their principal strength is the railroad trains. White, by his exposed position at Lady-Smith, from a military of arms, and from a military of arms, his stubborn adherence to this mistake, overthrew the entire English plan of troops and several division commands had to be chanched and the principal field of war was transferred from Cape Colony, deemed himself by his determined and active defense, and he has also frustered detached columns of troops detached columns of Boers, as mounted infantry have the greatest mobility and surprise. Determitarians even Dunbar, who commanded the English relief troops, and why Joubert re-attreated rapidly, and so far succeeded. The political motive, also at the cost of military success, is most surprising on the English side in the advance of the French, but it is pretty indifferent from a military point of view whether this place falls sooner or later, but the favorite enterprise of Cecil Rhodes, his diamond mines and his railway lines, ultimately succeeds it is merely the triumph of energy, for it was too hasty and not sufficiently prepared, without trains with several thousand miles of railway, and the English line of retreat.

A party was being held at the rooms the keeper pointed out a collection of antique vases, which had been recently dig at Berculaneum. Defective Page "Dug up, sir?" echoed one of the party. "Yes, sir." "What, out of the ground?" "Undoubtedly." "What, just as they now are?"

SATURDAY, MARCH 10, 1900. In accepting the Republican nomination for governor of Louisiana, D. Caffery, Jr., says: "The perversion and betrayal of representative government, of which the Democratic organization in this state has been guilty, justifies open radical and determined opposition, beyond the limits of party, and demands thorough, honest, and permanent reform." The Republican state convention of Louisiana elected four delegates to national convention at Philadelphia. Two were white, Capt. A. T. Wemberly and ex-Governor William Pitt Kellogg, and two Afro-Americans, J. Madison Vance and Richard Sim. The delegates were instructed to vote for the renomination of President McKinley. They say the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but to him that holds out faithful to the end. This being true, the friends of the two governors on both sides may have hopes. We have hopes, too; two hopes. One is that the trouble will soon be over and hope number two is that Taylor will win. It seems that the Boers are getting a shade the worst of it recently. As our sympathies are not with them, we are not kicking. RECENT INVENTIONS. Improved earth-cutting head for hydraulic dredges has a shaft mounted on the lower end of the suction pipe, with a spiral cutter on the end of the shaft, which is revolved to stir up the dirt and bring it in proximity to the suction pipe. To prevent the sides of a bed from spreading apart and dropping the slats a new attachment is formed of a row of rods inserted in the side rails, with a turn buckle connecting them at the center, to draw the sides together and grip the slats. An Oregon woman has patented an adjustable pot flower, having a two-part receptacle with overlapping edges, which are placed in place by a metallic band, the latter being raised or lowered on the conical pot to increase or decrease the size. An invisible brake for bicycles is formed of rods connecting the grips inside the handlebar, involving disk set at the junction of the bar and head, which connects with a rod to depress the brake shoe when the grips are twisted. Post holes of any size can be rapidly dug by a new implement, which has a conical boring tool, with a cutting blade inserted in one side, which cuts a section of earth out of the hole as it is revolved, the tool being lifted out and emptied when it becomes full. For drawing straight lines neatly and accurately, blurring a new implement has a sharp edge at the end of a handle, with a reservoir in the upper portion of the handle and a moistening pad connecting the disk with the reservoir to feed the ink to the disk as it is revolved on the paper. THEATRICAL NOTES. "The Greek Slave," brought over from London and played at the Herald Square theater, New York, failed from a bad cast. Irving has taken in more money in Boston, it is said, than he did in New York. None, however, eclipses San Francisco's record. A British syndicate is acquiring the theatrical property in New York, and may try to acclimate the peculiar British humor over here. Gadski made her reappearance in New York at a concert for the benefit of St. Mark's hospital. The charity benefited nearly $5,000. A negro musical conductor goes with the entertainment of Williams and Walker, a negro comedians. In Washington the local orchestra refused to make any music under his baton, and a white man was substituted. Madeline Lucee Ryley, author of "An American Citizen," by birth an English woman, has settled down permanently in London. Mrs. Ryley, during her stage days, lived in the country for ten years. Gertrude Elliott, who pronounced a pronounced hit in London, is living in New York. Count Keyserling, who belongs to old Monrovia family, has written a play called "The Sacrifice of Spring," which is hailed in Berlin as the finest poetic drama, except Gerth Haumpmann's, of the time. It is a story of an abused and neglected girl, who, hearing her grandmother pray that she be less than that of her stepmother, who is very ill, may be taken, thinks it can be done and takes poison. THE FEMININE OBSERVER. When a dog wags his tail he means it. The winter draperies of a house convert uglishness into beauty. It is really so much easier to fight a battle than to run away from it. a battle than to run away from it. A woman never knows a man's real disposition until she sees him intoxicated. It is the general girl that one thinks will die old maid who marries the beat. A lazy woman will learn to play the banjo because she can practice in a rocking chair. Some of the new dress trimmings could easily be mistaken for Christmas trc decorations. If haven't had the baby photographed, Christmas don't get it done for papa's New Year's girl. The girl who wears shoes that look as though she had borrowed her brother's is the one considered most stylish these days. The stitch that was once so much in vogue in the working of cardboard mottos is now revived for canvas table covers. Nothing on earth inspires such a feeling of independence as the knowledge that there are other persons and places when certain persons and places pall. Women have always been considered just a wee bit lower than the angels, and now they are catching up as fast as possible, the wings sprouting forth from every hat worn by the followers of fashion.-Philadelphia Times. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. Love is a bee; marriage is the same bee with the sting pulled out. No man objects to having his wife talk baby talk to him if she knows enough not to do it before people. After a woman has been married about a year she never near as many tall screens in the bedroom. A woman as a girl begins to think she wants to put her hand a foot above where her heart is when he tells her he was sick yesterday.

The following is a list of the books of Afro-American authors which are being gathered for the purpose of making an exhibit of the same in the Afro-American Exhibition. Cyrus Field Adams, of THE APPEAL, Chicago, Ill., has been appointed to look after the matter in the West. Any one who can furnish a book or pamphlet by an Afro-American author, on this list or having knowledge of such as are not on this list, will greatly aid this effort by interesting themselves to make certain that all books and pamphlets are duly represented in the collection. Labels which will carry books free through the skills will be furnished on application. If the book cannot be obtained, send description as follows: Name of author; title; size of book; place of publication; name of publisher; date of title; number of pages.

The second movement is used to tend to eradicate the deep horizontal which cross the deep inward in every direction. This is administered with the thumb and outward direction, as shown in the cut. Movement No. 4. Movement No. 4 has to do with the small lines which appear on the sides of the nose in so many faces. They are usually caused by a facial habit or trick in talking or laughing. These lines are treated with the tips of the second fingers both in an upward and crosswise direction. The movement must be very gentle, or more harm than good will be the result. Beadle, Saml.

The second movement in facial massage is calculated to preserve or to restore the skin's elasticity and firmness administered with the thumb and first finger of both hands. In this cheek movement more energy can be expended than the desirable or permissible on any other hand. This movement prises a series of kneading circular movements all over the cheek. These movements must be always upward, not downward, so that the movements would ruin the symmetry of the face. K. M. Movement No. 5 has for its object the preservation of the pretty lines of the mouth. The upper lip, when woman reaches a certain age, has a tendency to fall in. This falling in ruins the symmetry of the whole face. Massage, properly administered, is the best preventive. It must be done gently with the tips of the first and second fingers, and always in an upward direction, as shown in the image. Foote, Julia A.: Brand Plucked from Fire. Franklin, Jas.

Movement No. 3 is for the removal of the little network of lines which usually use the same curve to move a lovely woman when she has passed the age of thirty. The French call these lines "the thirty year mark. The movement is accomplished very gently with the tip of the finger. The movement must always be from the inner corner of the flesh under the eye outward, with a gentle circular curve toward the temple. This is a very effective and restful movement. Movement No. 6. Movement No. 6 shows the correct position of the thumbs in massage of the chin. This movement is always downward, so as not to disturb the symmetry of the mouth. More force can be used in this movement, but it is not accepted that given to the cheeks, as the flesh on the chin is usually firm and can stand good, strong manipulation with the thumbs. The flesh immediately under the mouth must, however, be very gently pressed. In an open rection, so as not to put on the corners of the mouth. Riley, Jerome F.: Philosophy of Negro Sufrage. Rudd, C.

An Apparel to the American People We, men and women of the Afro-American race, with a few friends, that are being inflicted by lawless, savage mobs upon Afro-American men and women in the United States. These outrages are often quitted but are not the same and prejudice alone, and more usually, the suspicion only that their victim has been guilty of some crime or offense against them. The most horrible outcome of the mot-spirit is the burning alive of Afro-American men. This crime began in Arkansas, and since then men have been burned dead at the time. In Texas, Virginia, the Georgia, Mississippi Tennessee and Kentucky. During the last seven months there have been threeacid inhuman torturings to death. Lynchings have become common. After American men being the victims, in the Southern states, and they have during recent years extended North occurring in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, Kansas, Michigan and Nebraska. There is, according to carefully collected statistics covering the last seventeen years, an average of 150 of these lynchings, or mob murders, each year, most of them occurring in the South. Minor persecutions, such as driving Afro-American families from their homes, whippings, stonings and tarring and feathering are so common as to be merely noticed in the reports of the press of the country. We inprove all persons in power and authority to reflect upon what these lawless and inhuman acts mean, and what duties the state of society they reveal lay upon the state and national governments. And we ask all people who love justice and order, and who desire the good of their fellow men, to endeavor, by word and act, to create throughout the country such a public opinion as will allow, in any part of it, such atrocities of violence and murder as now, by occurring within its borders, disgrace the entire nation. It is ordered by this assembly that the daily and weekly newspapers, the Associated Press, the religious journals and weekly and monthly magazines be asked to print this appeal in behalf of a suferling and helpless people. Wealth is probably a luxury. THE 2-CENT POSTAGE STAMP. What Is Uncle Sam's Loss Is Another Man's Gain. Ex-Postmaster-General James A. Gary in the Youth's Companion: She drops the letter in the postoffice at Key West, and it starts on its long journey to the Klondike. It does not of necessity, travel in a straight line to its destination, but must follow the twisting and turnings of the railroads, which have complete charge of it until the northwest corner of the state of Washington is reached. When it arrives at Seattle it has passed through fourteen states, and yet, so as time is concerned, one-bourth of the journey has been accomplished. It now takes a sea voyage from Seattle to Juneau, Alaska, and from the latter place is carried to City. It may be taken from there by easily hands further into the Klondike and, finally delivered to the anxious brother, who has been eagerly awaisting the arrival of the next party from the nearest town in which a postoffice is conducted in the hope that some one would bring him a letter. This letter has now traveled to the neighborhood of 7,000 miles—by railroad, steamboat, stage, horseback, and, perhaps, dogged—and has been on the road for nearly forty days without a moment's rest! No profit, in money, accrues to the government for delivering to the land, sed, "theed, but in such cases should we rent the profit only in dollars and cents? the we not consider also the happiness that satisfaction afforded this brother as by his fire, perhaps homeied and loyally, but now with a loving illumination his face, as he reads and reads again every word his thoughtful sister has written about home, mother and father, and perhaps of some one else whi he holds dear? When, finally, he ces his treasure under his pillow and seeks rest he is happier than for many a day; and Uncle Sam, who has contributed so largely to that happiness, does not regret the small pecuniary loss he has sustained. Insolence is not logic; epithets are the arguments of malice.—R. G. Ingersoll. You may depend upon it that there are as good hearts to serve men in palaces as in cottages.—Robert Owen. There lurks in the mind of man a longing for something beyond the present—Humboldt. Assassination makes only martys. not converts—Lamarint. THE HOTEL GAMMON THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY ATLANTA, GEORGIA.

THE LOCATION. The Eckstein Norton University is situated at Cano Spring, Ky., twenty-nine miles from Louisville, Ky., in the west-east line of the South. The state is the only county being the state—the county being what is known as a prohibition on a lotty bill of rich, rolling land, surrounded on all sides by mountain streams, dating miniature cartacles of people with their own water-related species. In this quiet retreat away from the bustle of the city, the city is free from the healthy educational influence of the local and non-whom community; one dinside study, recreation, and health, and the physical development of the city, and the age-based and secured age-based transport parts in a student's life, and is apply suited to all who desire to prepare for an active life.

Mr. Ben Hendricks who will appear at the Grand next week in his new play "A Yennec Yeateman," by special arrangement with Mr. Jacob Litt, has within the short space of five years won an enviable place among the few really legitimate comedians now on the American stage. In the character of the so-called Anglo-American Swede Mr. Hendricks has been credited with making a distinct and valuable addition to the literature of the stage. Any man who has sufficient originality of thought and vigor of intellect to contribute a new character to the stage in these days of servile imitation and clownish imbecility deserves well of the public. Mr. Hendricks has given us a character that will endure a thoroughly quaint and original creation widely different from any other portrayal with which the American public is familiar. Mr. Hendricks's portrayal of the Swede is tuned in a heroic key and it is a higher order of comedy than was seen in his previous efforts. The play offers many opportunities for scotic display which Manager Arthur C. Aus ```markdown ``` who likes Miss Constance)—No, I assure you, Miss Constance in mirtation.

HARRY SHEPHERD'S Reply to the Article in the Afro-American Advance. The following appeared in the last issue of the Afro-American Advance: "Harry Shepherd, the colored photographer from St. Paul, has been dismissed from service in the negro exhibit department of the Paris exposition. Shepherd has been in the southern states for some time securing photographs for use in his department, but he took occasion while there to teach anarchy and advised the negroes to combine against the United States in the event of war with foreign powers.

When taxed with his misconduct he made no denials and after his discharge openly boasted to a reporter of a local paper of circulating inflammatory circulars while in the South. Shepherd has left Washington for the West. We regret to learn that Mr. Harry Shepherd has lost that, "fat position." OLUMN AT WORK. ed by a British officer for the London Graphic. This race problem is a delicate question to deal with, particularly when a good position is at stake. Fortunate people are not without an army of enemies and conservatism ought always to be the watchword of the luck." The Advance should not lose any sheep over the "fast position" lost by Harry Shepherd. The business of the Shepherd Photo Company amounts annually to from $18,000 to $20,000, and Shepherd has expended more money in his method of fighting the Afro-Ameri- They Would can's battles in the last few years than would be necessary to run half a dozen such papers as the Advance. Besides, there was a certain sum set aside for the purpose of which Shepherd was commissioner, and that sum was exhausted when Shepherd had been out four weeks, and additional $29.10 would have to be approved before a single could be delivered to the commission. As to dismissal, the only person who could dismiss a commissioned appointee would be Commissioner General Peck. And he being in Paris, this would necessitate a lapse of time long enough to allow the duration of Shepherd's commission. No American papers should be slow to copy reports from southern papers. Moreover, there was a certain sum of money set aside for the work which Shepherd was commissioned to perform, and that sum was exhausted when Shepherd was been out four weeks, and additional $29.10 would have to be approved before a single photograph could be delivered to the commission. As to dismissal, the only person who could dismiss a commissioned appointee is Commissioner General Peck, and being in Paris, would necessitate a letter of recommendation and expiration of Shepherd's commission. Another thing, Afro-American papers should be slow to copy reports from southern papers. The trouble between Shepherd and Colloway was created by photographs under the pictures of Shepherd. He was with which he had flooded the South two years before his appointment. The editor of THE APPEAL was one of a party of three, in which Shepherd was a prominent figure, who spent time and money to fight the Afro-American's battle when certain theatrical managers in St. Paul decided to relegate their Afro-American patrons to the gallery on their several theaters. If the paragraphs on the margin of "Unsung Heroes" are am proud of the title, And if the Afro-American papers of this country are satisfied to fill their columns with frivolous matters, while a portion of our brothers and sisters in the South are being sentenced to prison on trivial charges and kept in perpetual bondage by being charged up for board on rainy days and Sundays, holding a contract systems, where in many cases men have been sent up for one year have been known to serve for five years or more—that is their business.

The new scenery by Harley Merry will be in a new, original, up-to-date melodrama, founded on the story of a wealthy and beautiful belle, who went to New York with a young man, who deserted her and who finally landed in "Sulcide" the principal scenes in the play. This is a famous Bowery resort. It is one of the most beautiful New York. Slumming parties from the "upper ten" set of Fifth avenue meet the "lower five" of the East side there, and, of course, all the scenes are sensational. They are realistically dramatic. The interior of this famous live in full blast is shown and a variety of new special scenery is required. In this act an oilo vaudeville is introduced. There are various other specialities in the play, which from behead to end possesses a strong local coloring and intense human interest. The Bowyer and intense human interest of snakes into which the hero is thrown, an opium joint and a sensational life-saving act with a ladder are other features. The company is a company, one including clever specialty artists. Political Points Congressman Hitt, of Mt. Morris, has been renominated for congress.

The first thing did was to put the Negro into slavery. In 1834 England shouted slavery paying $8,000,000, to the boers. The boers then bonded go, which displeased the boers that many of them sold their farms and crossed the Orange and Vaal rivers. Here for many years they maintained their independence at the cost of continuous warfare with the natives until Engl. was born. The request of the boers. In the cities of the South African Republic a native negro is not allowed to walk on the sidewalk, he must keep in the middle of the street with the "other animals." The request of the Negro has a soul. No sensible person of the Negro deserved sympathy with the boers. MUST PAY. Subscriber Who Failed to Notify the Publisher to Stop His Paper.

The court held, through no fault of the publishers, who had a judgment for the amount due and cost. WHAT A BLACK MAN Saw in a White Man's Country. The above is the title of a book which has just been published by Rev. William S. Brooks, pastor of St. Peter's A. M. E. church, Minneapolis. It description of a visit of the author to Europe and especially to Sweden and Norway, the "land of the Midnight Sun." It is quite interesting in every particular and abounds with quiet wit and humor, together with much valuable information. It is dedicated to his wife, of whom he says: "Who has been not only encouragement but inspiration." There is a peculiar charm about the style of the author's writing which makes one feel he was listening to an oral presentation of the subject matter. And, as Rev. Noah Lathrop says of the book, in a prefactory note, "It reads to me as though it had been prepared for oral delivery, and I think he might do well to deliver it in that manner." THE APPEAL takes great pleasure in commending the work as very pleasing and instructive.
