TABOILILAYIE'S INKSTAND.
In our Tuesday's, article on Laboulaye we
omitted to explain a phrase therein occur
ring, but whose meaning may need some fur
ther amplification before it can become clear
outside of France : the allusion was. to the
noise made In the world by Laboulaye's Ink
stand. It is a little &amain action, to'which
the irteco - ncilables have given a ridiculous
moral.
Four years ago M. Laboulaye presented
himself as candidate for Deputy in the De
partment of Lower. Rhine; be failed, but his
partisans, to console his defeat, presented him
with a handsonie silver inkstand.
The presentatlon_was made by_Jules Ferry,
since Deputy, and M. Lafout, who is the com
mercial editor of the Temps. It is Lafont
who tells us every day, if Tallows are . "firm,"
tildliakftia" , 'ntlier' literary or political
to consideration. /le seems to be a pleasant
man, but is ocaasiOnally very' fantastic, as may
be imagin9d from . his going down to see, M
Laboulaye and demanding the restitution 'of
the inkstand, since he voted, and counselled
others to vote, yes on the plebiscitum, thus be
coming one ofthe supports of tyranny."
Of course M. Laboulaye refused ; it seems he
was good enough not to put Lafont out at the
door. But the ; brilliant editor of _the Tempes
commercial article was not satisfied.. Hesum
moned, it is said, Laboulaye by constable, to
have the inkstand delivered up, under penalty
of paying fifty francs for each day's delay. ,
lay e's acceptance of the 3liniStty of Public:ln
struction is the greattrouble of the opposition.

for fifteen years attached to the Embassy. at

Three men named Andrew Tolliver, Joseph

Employed with the three men killed was a
Mr. Reagan, brother to one of the -parties,
whose accidental absence from Abe ,rancho
saved his life. He states 'that Cassidy was -
surprised at nightfall, -spout' two 'hundred,
y-rds from the hut; shot froth behind and
scalped. Ile was found ,to, have sustained
three wound - s—two by bul lets and one by an
arrow. . ' •
The other men inniaediatCli baiticaded their
doer and awaited An - atsault. The Indians
succeeded in tiring the adobe. building_ from.
without, cleared the dirt from the roof, and
shot then' from above. „It Is Obi kndwn
whether the Indians sustained any loss.
Neither was scalped nor mutilated, the ap
proaCh of a detachment of soldiers probably
deterring them. .
When found the remains were partially;
burned by the tire: One of , them had a rope
about his neck, and had evidently been stran
gled. Two slips of paper were also found
bearing the inscriptions, " We won't be taken
alive"! "My mother and sister live at No.

A new sign of progress has manifested

where in Austria (probably from sympathetic
Prague), has established hun.self on ,the Nev-
sky Prospect, and is said to be doing a good
business, though hitherto the very general use.
of goloshes in Russia. has made such an occu
pation almost a superfluous one. However, in
a 'conntry of seventy million inhabitants there
will doubtless be enough work for one shoe=
black ; and. probably numbers of persons in
St' Petersburg, finding they can have their
boots Cleaned at short notice, will give up the
wearing of goloshes which has been adopted
asp safeguard against dust in summer and
against mud in winter. The name of the en
terprising shoeblack- who, alone and armed
only:with a blacking: brush, has" taken upon.
himself to invade Eustaia is Dzendzolovsky.

A Hearti "Pitch In" to the English

[From the London Standard(Tory and high Church),
June2l.l •
That which is called' the "Second Edition"
of Bladwood's Magazine for 'June contains-a
"Note" by the writer of the scandalous article
on '° Lothair," justifying his production and
retorting upon, his critics. This note—which
is obviously a mere trade advertisement,
resorted to with a view of impessingitipork the
public that BlaelrwoOd'alliagazine, by reason of
- its brilliant review of Mr:Disraeli% book, has
attained to the unwonted honor;of a second
edition—is marked withal' the coarseness, flip
pancy arid seurrility of •theoriginal article.
In this new
,fight the bad taste, the :vulgarity,
ingratitude and blasphemy - or this ill-favored
production become doubly conspicuous. - The
writer has not a single word to offer in ex
tenuation of his offence, but to repeat, in a
dull, maundering kind of way, some of . the_
epithets_with which-he:has been-chastised by
the almost unanimous, press. of this country,
and to reiterate that ," Lothair"--f is apt Ihich

As to the political significance of:this wanton

than it, was before the explanation was given;
Nothing in that book can be - said to have ren

THE POETS' CORNER.
Incliensts.Grave in West!!dilater Abbe37.:-
Its Surroundings.
The London Illustrated News has the folio*.
ing
The venerable Abbey Church of St. Peter,
at Westminster, has lately received the mortal
body of another English worthy. There is a
place here allotted by traditional.custom to the
burial, or, at least, to the obituary record, of
men whose literary
. genius, has adofued this
nation. The extremity of the south' transept
has for ages past been called the "Poets'
;Corner." Here is the tomb .of ,Geoilry, Chau
cer, "the Father of English Poetry," who was
also a man of official business,. Clerk of the
Works in the precincts of the King's pal
ace at Westminster, including, the Abbey.
He died in October, 1400, at his house,
close by, which stood on the site of Henry
Vll.'s chapel. The first English...printer,
Caxton; whq set upline types•and wdrked
his press in a chapel of the Abbey, caused a
simple tablet, , with a couplet of Latin verse
written by a' scholar of Milan, to
.be placed
above his friend ChauCer's grave. A century
and a half later, in 1556, Mr. Nicholas
Brigham, "in the name of the Muses,"
erected the well4cnown monument of grey
marble, witlya full-length statue of Chaucer,
copying the head, the costume, and the atti
tude from Occleve's contemporary portrait.
That was the beginning of Poets' Corner.
Now, only last week, br order of Dean Stan
ley, and threugh the, diligence of Chaucer's
successor in office, Mr. Christopher Foster,
Clerk of the Works in the Abbey, the grave
of Charles Dickens was made here in the mid
dle of the floor, within arew steps of old Chau
cer's. .
The elaborate monument of the Duke of
Argyll. in t George .11.'s time—Jeattie Deaus's
good Duke, in " The Heartgof Midlothian "
rises opposite,with its four fine statues, repre
senting the virtues and talents of that patri
otic Scottish 'nobleman. The monuments of
oldsmith and Gay, with their medallion por
traits, and with he inscriptions composed in
the former instance by Dr. Johnson, and in
the latter case by Pope, are to the left. To the
right is the graceful statue of Addison, upon
cylindricarpedestal of white marble; but his
actual place of interment is in another part
of the A bbey. The monument of Handel, who
lies buried under the pavement next Dickens,
is placed high on the wall, above that of the
Ladies Lechmere ; his figure, in an attitude of
inspiration, stands in front of an organ, hold
ing an opened .scroll of music. The bust of
Thackeray is near Addison's statue. The best
place for a bust of Dickens is on the other ,
side of the arch - or near the Lechmere monu
ment, and between that and the monument of
the Atkins family t which fills the next arch.
It would be •a, suitable companion to the
bust of Thackeray. The grave of.
Dickens' is - adjacent to those of - Handel, Sheri
dan, and Cumberland thb .dramatist, whose
names occupy, With_those of Henderson, the.
actor, David Garrick, Samuel Johnson, and
General Sir A. Campbell, the eight flat tomb
stones in front of the door leading to St. Faith's
Chapel: These tombstones are ranged in four
pairs. The graves of Dickens and Cumberland
form one pair; and they lie immediately epee
site the well-known cenotaph of Shakespeare,
which stands against the wall,with the monu
ments of Nicholas Rowe, James Thomson,
Matthew Prior, Southey, and Thomas Camp
bell; these confronting those of Adiftison,
Mackenzie,--and Handel, and the bust of
Thackeray.
The monuments of Chaucer, Spenser, Ben
Jenson. Abraham Cowley Dryden, Barton
Booth the tragedian, and Thomasa Gray, are
placed somewhat apart, in the corner by the
western door through which the Abbey is en
tered. from Old Palace-yard. This is, no
douht, the ancient and original "Poets' Cor-,
ner:" but that name has latterly bean ex
tended, as we now see, to the whole breadth
of the south transept.'Among ths
,other per
sons liiterred in this part 'of the Abbey are Dr.
Barrow and Dr. South, thw;eminent divines;
Dr._ Husby, master :of .Westrninster 'School ;
Queen Anne .Neville_, wife of _Richard
Chiflinch, page to Charles II:; Macpherson,
translator or inventor of 0,951aII; La4ySteele

Senor Caftan. delliered his promised 'dis
course in favor of the abolition 'of slavery
froni •theist otiTatruaryi 1871. As usual, the
first orator of the Chamber expressed himself
with the nerve and energy which distingpsh
him. His speech 'was filled with submti
thoughts, and carried with it the elo
quence of indisputable logic. He
first' depleted, in all its luirrors,.slavery
as it exists. At every sentence' the eid
[ tire Chainber broke but in applause. He was
[ listened;to attentively and earnestly for two
[ hours. - Benor - Castelarbas studied - -the - qtiesw
lion of slavery in all itsphases. _ He maintains_
['that slavery is an attack-upon the - rights - of
humanity. A man cannot, must not, be the
property of_ another Man. The Coteenission
and the Goirernment wish to have a gradual
abolitiOn. He said :
__‘f[This_svitemis lull _of dangers,lor-it - will
- proVoke ineurreetiona. , We ought to imitate
the French Convention , which abolished
slavery, re-established by Napoleon 1., and
again abolished by the Revolution of' 1848.
Modem slavery 119 due
__.to_ the slave_ trade.
There is not - in the whole world a blacker
criminal than the 'slave-dealer. The shark
which follows his sbip,withits odors of human
flesh, has moreheart, more conscience -.than
he' has. He makes of his ship a horrible
floating dungeon, crowded with men. If
cruisers, pursue him be throws half his cargo

NOWS
An Imposing Ceremony—The Pope in
Favorite Dogma.
A correspondeut writing from Rome on
June 17, says:
Yesterday the Pope carried the Holy Sacra
inent round the Piazza, of St. Peter. The pro
cession included the - Fathers of the Council,
and was thus the most imposing that has been
been in Rome by the present generation. The
ceremony attracted an immense concourse of
spectators, and the Infanta of Portugal,
_the
corps diplomatique, and a number of distin
guished personages witnessed it from the bal
cony of the cathedral. This morning the Holy
Father entered the 25th year of his reign. On
the 23d of August, 1871, if he survives to that
date, his pontificate will have endured longer
than St.,.P . eter's, and will falsify the famous
prophecy, "Non videbis annos Petri." His
Holiness has, visited the church - of San L
orenzo fuori-le-inure, to inspect the frescoes of
Fracassini, whom death snatched from the
world at the early age of twenty-eight. The
Pope, who possesses an artist's instinct, .
pressed .a warm admiration of these noble
works.
From - the church the Holy Father; proceeded
to the cemetery, to inaugurate the monument
erected to' the memory .of the Pontifical sol
diers who fell at Mentana. The memorial
represents kt. Peter presenting a sword to a
kneeling warrior, who bears a flag inscribed
with the words, "Orbis Catholieus." Beneath
is this v i ew) from, Maccabees :," - Accipe. sanc
tum gladiton, minus a Deci in quo dejicies
adversaries popult Wei • Israel." The Po nti fr
was attended to the monument by a throng of
cardinals'and bisho - ps; who joined in chanting
the De..Proftnidis. The Pope distributed some
silver medals among the officers , immediately
around him . ;•and to Colonel Perrauz, who ad
vanced to, hiss his foot, he gave , his snuff=box,
having disposed of all the medals before ho was
aware of t4o:coloners 'presence.
The HO/ Father has granted a long inter
view to Monsignor Dupanloup; who took ad
vantage of the check given to infallibility to
set before blin-the, perils which would attend
the promulgation' Of the dogma. The ,Pope
heard him caloily, but made no reply, except
to declare - Ins faith, exclaiming thrice, ,4 We
believe it! we believe it ! we believe it !"
IHE HORRIBLE TRAGEDY IR PEKIN
The Scene of the Massacre.
•
The Pek tang, as the ecclesiastical Missidn
under French protection is termed, lies in the
northwest corner of the city walls. The his
tory of this spot of ground - has been perhaps
as eventful as that of any foreign location in
the Far East, The original site was granted
to the French Jeguit missionaries who .first
visited China, by the Emperor Katighi—the'
Augustus of Chinese literature—and they suc
cessfully held it for some years. At length a
violent persecution against the Christiansbroke
out, the Mission buildings were razed , to the
ground, and the priests were proscribed and
put to death. At the close of the war, in 1860,
its restoration was made a 'special subject of
treaty negotiation, and a handsome church
(the tower of which was'restricted to a height
of 60 feet, lest it should overlook the_imperial
'Womb dormitories, and schools, were erected
G_o
by the French
_ver .ment._ln_l2,64_these
were, however, destroyed by fire, a valuable
"museum, founded and filled by the naturalist
David, alone escaping the devouring element.
Again did fresh buildings arise from the ashes
et their predecessors, the members of
the - Chinese Foreign Beard assisting
the foreign ministers in laying the
foundation• Stones. And now these, too,
have shared the fate of their 'predecessors.
The Russian Church was situated between the'
United States and British Legations, and has
long been a conspicuous object from the-walls
of Pekin. Of unpretending architecture, the
cross, with which it was . surmounted, was
plainly visible above the low root of the sur
rounding native building's. • The telegram does
not inform us whether it was also destroyed,
but the mention of several Russians being
killed would lead to.the_ inferenee that. their
-- Legation, - Within the precincts of which the
church stands, had been also made a subject of
attack: - •

Spanish Opinions on Cuban Affairs.
The Spanish journals continue to comment
in severe terms of reproach on the, policy of
De Bodes and the'volunteers in Cuba. El E.
t' ,do U«talan, a journal published in Barcelona,
lately commented on the fate of Goicouria,
whom it painted as a lifetime enemy of Spain
and a pirate, as a proof of its representations
of the ferocious character of the warfare
which is desolating the Island of, Cuba._ It
adds:
Let our readerstlx their thoughts upon this
old man who is.fieein4 the island, and who of
fors no resistance to his captors ; let them look
at that council of war which condemns him to
death by the garote ; at this man who makes
no defence, and asks only that he may die ;
then look upon that people, who rejoice at the
sight of a captured political enemy ; at that
society, which obliges an honorable man to
put on vestments befitting. only criminals.
And now let us compare this war-council,
this defendant, this people, this society with
the great equanimity, of soul manife.,sted by the
victim, who (we are told) stepped upon the
scaffold with a firm and nimble step. And then
let us speak out frankly and say who loses by
the comparison.
