DETAILS OF THE ARAGO'S NEWS.
The Arago bring? intelligence of the death
of Lord Raglan, C'omniaudcr-in-cliief of the
British forces in the East. The melancholy
news was received by Lord Panmure from
Gen, Simpson, on the morningof the ilOthult.
For some days previously Lord Raglan had
boen suffering "from indisposition, but until
4 P. M. on tho 28th, bis Lordship progressed
to the satisfaction of bis medical attendants.
Afterwards, alarming symptoms developed
themselves, aitcuded with difficulty of breath
ing which gradually increased. From 5 P. M.
he was unconscious, nnd from that period he
gradually sunk until 25 minutes beforo 9, at
Yhich hour he died. Tho event has plunged
tins whole army into the most profound grief.
It is stated that Major General Simpson has
succeeded Lord Kuglnn, pro tern.
The Times correspondent, writing from the
Jfaltic states that on tho 2lst ult., ISO Am
pbiou 3fj, new frigate, while employed recon
noitering tho fortifications at Sweaborg, acci
dentally mistook tho channel, and in conse
quence foundered. The boats were immedi
ately despatched in all directions to sound,
and while so employed, ono of the near forts
opened a brisk fire npou the frigate. Four
shots struck her, killing one man and wound
ing two others. The Captain of the Am
phion, returned the compliment with such
energy and precision that ho succeeded in
blowing up a large Russian powder magazine,
and occasioned other damage to the fort.
From Copenhagen, J uly 4, wo learn that
the French war steamers Pelican and Tocksin

In both Houses of Parliament, on the

commending the House to provide some ma

try duriug this and previous wars, was
brought under consideration.
And it was agreed that the annuity of JE1000

In the House of Lords whilst discussing
the merits of the lato Lord Raglan, the Eurl
of Galloway blamed the Government for
having allo'wed certain charges adduced
against Lord Kuglnn, in Parliament and else-
where, to pass unanswered. To this neglect
ho believed that the preamature death of the
late Field Marshal was in a great measure
attributed.
FROM SEBASTOPOL.
FULL PARTICULARS OF THE ATTACK OK
TUB
REDAN AND MAI.AKOFF TOWM18.
Correspondence of the London Xetcs.
Heights ZJhforf. Sevastopol, June 21.
The original plan of attack, contemplated
n joint English and French assault of the
Malakoff, which, as commanding the Redan
and forming the grand key to the whole
network of redoubts and batteries in front
of the place, would, if taken, have at once
rendered the former untenable, and placed
the town and harbors at the mercy of the
captors. For reasons, however, which nobo
dy can understand, this very sensible and
apparently most practical design, was aban
doned, aud the plan was changed into one of
a simultaneous attack upon the two great
works the MalakoIT being undertaken by
the French and the Redau by ourselves.
The first manifest disadvantage at this ar
rangement was the spreading of our forces
over a field of difficulties nearly doublo in ex
tent, and enabling the enemy to bring a vast
number of guns into play against us, which,
in the former case, could not have injured a
man. To vastly enchance the chunces of
failure involved in this plun to ourselves, our
whole attacking force, includingsupports and
everybody else, was limited to some four
thousand meu ; whilst the French, with a
much juster appreciation of the difficulty,
that fell to their share, told off twenty-five
thousand.
AN' AWFUL SCENE.
With our own men, the space to be passed
over from our moBt advanced trenches to the
Rodaa was somewhat about seven hundred
yards, and from the first moment of their
rushing over the parapet towards the point
of attack, they were met by the same awful
and annihilating storm of canister and grape.
Many full within tho first dozeu yards, and
thence on to some broken ground about mid
way, in which the remainder sought cover,
the field was strewed with the slain and
wounded. An officer present in the affair,
end who was one of the few who escapvd un
injured, described the fire to me as being
perfectly awful much more severe, he as
sured me, t' an that which greeted our men
at Alma, where he also fought, uud received
a wound. Few of them ever reached the
alattit in front of the work none, I believe,
ever even saw the deep ditch which protects
its approaches.
THE CANNON APE RESUMED.
About midnight, of Monday, I was roused
tip by the sound of a terrific cannonade, und
sustained musketry fire, along the w hole front
from our left to the French right, and on
hastening out to the right, in advance of the
Victoria Redoubt, heard und wUiibmmxI what
indcd me to believe thut a night attack had
fceeu u&svJe by ourselves and the French, to
retrieve tbe fortunes of the day. From the

and the explanation of
the whole affair was this I during the night,
the French, endeavoring to take advantage
of the darkness had crept out from the Mara
elon to recover a number of scaling ladders
which they bad been compelled to abandon
during the attack.
The Rnssions perceived them, ana opened
a smart fire of grape from the guns of the
MalaknflT, which was repeated by a shell from
the Mnmclon. Almost simultaneously, a
party of tho enemy emerged from the Redan,
in expectation of what they deemed a similar
attack to that attempted by the French, and
having perceived our men, a volley of mus
ketry was poured into them, and cliase gave
with the bayonet. After a short time the
Russians turned and fled, and it was at this
juncture that the hurrahs I have mentioned
were sent alter them. After this the cannon
ade was kept up for some time from both
lines, in tho manner I have remarked.
a Picture: op henry a. wise.
Tho Hon. Henry A. Wise lately made a
speech at Parkorsburg, Virginia. A cor
respondent of the McConnelville Enquirer,
who heard him, thus writes his impress of the
man :
"I was disappointed in the personal np-
fctirancc of the man. I had expected in
Ienry A. Wise to see a mnn of commanding
stature, upright bearing, with flashing eyes
ami a noble torelicau ; but no is no such a
num. He is the medium height, not more
than fire feet seven or eight inches ; very
spare, would not weigh more than 120, proba
bly not that.
"There is nothing prcposscssingabout him.
He is, in fact, positively ugly. Very gentle
manly and courteous in his bearing towards
others, but in his dress ho is almost a sloven.
His cravat is awry, his linen was soiled with
tobacco, his chin was unshaved and flanked
with stocks of yellow saliva ; his clothing
rather bung around him than otherwise. I
could see no physical indication of greatness.
A low forehead overshadowing a pair of lus
terless grey eyes, that rolled witu a nervous
uneasiness in their deep sockets; high cheek
bones, and a complexion saffron hued from
the inordinate use of tobbaco, a stopping car-
riuga unit vremunng gan, uiu not luuicaiu me
great man.
"When 1 first saw Wiso on the stand du
ring the few moments of his opening remarks,
as he stood before as, his shoulders droopinir
bent lorward, bis cuin and shirt bosom spat
tcred with tobbauco juice, those dull eyes.
expressionless in their deep sockets, his long
grey hair, tossed unkempt about his temples,
his arms hanging listlessly by his side, look
ing lor all the world like a resurrected mum
my, I thought ho was the most uncomely
specimen of humanity that I ever saw at
tempt to address an audience. But when,
with a voico that rung as clear as tho notes
oi the war clarion, no made his thrilling op
peal with a passionate intensity of manner, I
thought him eloquence incarnated. Never
in my life liavo I listened to such an appeal ;
it set the blood dashing through my veins
like a mountain torrent.
"It went right home to tho heart of every
Virginian present. You could seo in their
glistening eyes aud heaving chests, and could
hear in tho response that made walls tremble
to their foundations, the effect it had upon
the multitude.
GREAT DISCOVERY.
Mkrctry taakn from tub Human System
by Electricity. Having heard a rumor on
the street that mercury had been extracted
from the body of a sick man in the form of
quicksilver, and beiug anxious to witness such
an experiment, we accompanied Doctors
Youmuns and Seltzar, the operators, yester
day, for tho purpose of judging for ourself of
tuu truth ot tuo statement.
We found Mr. Jacob Hymod, the patient,
living in the south part of the city, who has
been afflicted with the chronic rheumatism
for the last ten vears. Ivincr unou the bed in
an enfeebled state, who told us that he had
heretofore tried every kind of medical treat
ment without success. He had swallowed
during his sickness vast quantities of mercury
in tho shape of calomel and blue pills, from
tho effects of which he had nearly lost tho
use or his limbs. He showed us a globule of
quicksilver larger than a good sized pea,
which he said had been gathered from, tho
bottom of the electric bath iu which he had
been placed.
lie had been seated upon a metalic stool
in an insulated zinc bath, well coated with
paint and his feet immersed in acidulated wa
ter. Tho galvanic battery was then applied,
the positive polo held in the hands of the pa
tient, the negative pole being in the bath. It
is claimed thut the power of electricity upon
the system is such as to eradicate every me
tallic substance, and by means of tho wire,
it is deposited iu the bottom of tho tub. It
requires some twenty-four hours for the glob
ules to collect themselves, so as to be percep
tible to the naked eye, when they may be
seen by thousands clinging to the sides and
bottom of the bath.
We were informed by the doctors that
three drachms of quicksilver had already been
taken from the patient, who, together with
his friends and relatives present, confirmed
the statement. Columbus (O.) Journal.
A Rkvom'tiok in Boot and SuokMaki.no.
The Cleveland Herald says that a few days
since, in Utica, New York, a number of
t renchincn were negotiating for the estab
lishment in that city of manufactory of boots
aud shoes by machinery. The manufacture
of a ti no shoe, it is said, will cost but ten cents.
The Utica Telegraph says thut the owners
are now in Washington securing a patent for
their machine, and it thus speaks of its per
formance. "The machine is so perfect that it is only
necessary to place in it two pieces of sole aud
upper leather, and in an incredibly short
space of time it turns out a complete boot or
snoe. as is desired.
We leurn that a number of capitalists of
this city are negotiating Tor the patent, and
that it is their intention, should they succeed
in securing it, to purchase the Globe Mills,
nnd to convert them into nu extensive boot
aud shoe manufactory, employing some seven
hundred hands. A gentleman in this city,
now extensively interested in manufacturing,
is in New York negotiating for the purchase
of the patent."
The muchines can be run by women and
bovs ; no knowledge of tho present way of
making boots and shoes beiug required.

Warm Weather. On Tuesday last the
thermometer stood at 93 in the shade, and
on Wednesday at 94. Although somewhat
oppressive to those who labor in tho Sun,
it is glorious weather for harvesting nnd hay
making. Thursday it reached 98.
G5"We understand that there is to be a

believe, to devise ways and means to promote
the still further advancement aud general
good of the Order.
tS" The crop of wheat in Union County, a
great wheat growing county, is unusually
large this season. The only difficulty the far
mers encounter, is that of getting bauds to
take it off. Without the aid of the patent
reapers, now in use, much grain would, no
doubt, be lost in the fields. In Lewisburg we
understand that contracts have been entered
into for the delivery of tho new crop wheat in
thirty days, at one dollar and fifty cents per
bushel. This is still a high figure for those
who have to buy, but yet a heavy reduction
on $2,50 tho ruling price for the last two
months.
BURGLARS ABOUT.
We regret to say that one or more bur
glars entered the dwelling house of the Hon,
Alex. Jordan, in this place, on Saturday
night last, and robbed him of nil his silver
table and tea-spoons ; 2 dozen silver forks ; a
largo silver soup ladle, and a sett of silver
plated tea service, and other articles, amount
ing, in value, to something over Two hundred
dollars. The burglar or burglars, entered the
cellar by unlocking the cellar-door in the
yard. They then passed up stairs, into the
entry, the door of which, leading into the
cellar, was not closed, having been swollen by
the damp weather. The silver plate was in
the secretary at the other end of tho entry.
The secretary was unlocked by means of the
key, which was kept in a small drawer in the
top. The burglars also dabbled among tho
preserves looked over some daguerreotypes
&C, which they afterwards laid on the table.
They were also in the parlor, the carpet iu
which, as well as in the other rooms, wus con
siderably soiled with the grease of u tallow
candle. Mr. and Mrs. Jordan slept in the
chamber above but heard nothing. Mrs.
Greenough's cellar on Broadway was entered
the same night by persons who regaled them
selves on the provisions and some wine they
found there.
Our citizens should exercise more than or
dinary caution iu securing their property from
the depredations of burglars and midnight
prowlers.
Judgo. Jordan offers a reward of 850 for
the arrest of tho burglars or the recovery of
the property.
Somo silver spoons aud forks were also ta
ken from the table of Weaver's hotel some
ays previous. They wore found a few morn
ings after wrapped in a paper, on tho pave
ment before Young's store.

OUR CONNaTCTIOlV WITH WMTHN NEW
lORI AND THE LAKeCfs.
Oar friends of Elmira, N. Y., are already
preparing to avail themselves of the advan
tages which the completion of the Sunbury
and Erie Rait Road to this place, will give
them in a few weeks, to make arrangements
for the Anthracite Coal of the ShBtnokin re
gion. With this view, Mr. Diven, President
of the Williamsport and Elmira Rail Road,
and Dr. Eldredge of Elmira, engaged in the
coal business at that place, Tisited our town
on Mondny lost. On tho following day, in
company with tho President of the Philadel
phia and Sunbury Railroad, and some of the
directors, they visited Shamokin. The day
was excessively hot, but with the cool appli
ances and excellent accommodations of our
friend Weaver, of the National Hotel, the
day was pleasantly spent, and our Elmira
friends were highly gratified with their visit,
both to this place nnd Shnmokin. Mr. Diven
informed us that they anticipated at Elmirn,
large trade with the coal of our region, und
one of tho objects of his visit, was to make
arrangements to run their own cars alt the
way through from Elmira to Shamokin. Tho
Sunbury and Erie road had already acceeded
to the proposition, and the Philadelphia aud
Sunbury Co. readily assented to the same.
Until the bridges are finished at Northumber
land, the coal cars will be towed on flats from
tho wharves nt this place to Northumberland
by the steamer. We do not look for the com
pletion of the road from Northumberland to
Milton, until about the 1st of September.
he connection between Northumberland
and this place will not be completed until
inter, ns tho continued high water has con
siderably retarded the progress of the bridges
over the Susquehanna.
HARVEST.
Our farmers are in the midst of their har
vest, and their numerous fields are literally
teeming with the rich abundance of their
crops. The weather too, has been of the
most favorable character. Though the wee'
il has in some instances made its appear
ance, yet its ravages, even in these cases, and
are but slight nnd unimportant. We havo
no doubt but that tho crops of Pennsylvania
are fully ten per cent greater than have ever
bceu produced before. The high prices for
grain, that have ranged for the past year, has
nduced tho cultivation of almost every avail
able acre of ground. This we believe is the
case, not only in our own state, but through
out tho whole union. With the enjoyment
of excellent health, every thing thus fur, has
conspired to minister to our prosperity, and
if we aro not a prosperous and happy people,
we slial' look in vuiu for such a one on tho
face of this earth.

Unpreceitkxtkd Rise in the Rivers. The
heavy raius of Tuesday produced an unex
pected and unprecedented rise of ten feet in
the rivers in less tlian twenty-lour nours. 1 lie
raftsmen were better prepared for a rise this
time than at the previous freshets, and conse
quently suffered but comparatively little da
mage. The full of rain during 15 hours was
greater than in the three months of June,
July and August, of last year,. the gauge
showing that one inch fell in less than twelve
hours.
On Pennsylvania aveuuea bouse was moved
several feet, and the cellars iu various parts
of the city were overflowed.
Through the country, considerable damage
was done to the crops and property. A great
amount of hay was destroyed. The postmas
ter at Harrington, Washiugton county, writes
us thut Raccoon creek was higher than it has
been siuce 1831, and the mill dam at that
place was carried away by the flood. All
along the creek the meadows are overflowed,
the com and barley under water, and many
fences washed away. Pittsburgh Gazette,

M irrnr unilnr data of June 24. that the Peo

been, for some months in a stats of starva
tion. He states that probably 600 families,
with an average of eight children each, have
gone without bread from on to eight weeks
at a time this spring. They keep alive now
on greoiis, a few Ash and frogs, and it is said
they bbva eatoa snakes. On or two rases
of starvation are said to have occurred be-

GOT. RItDfft IN KANSAS.
We are pleased to learn that Governor
Reeder baa returned to the Territory. He
arrived on Saturday morning last in excellent
health and spirits, resolved on sustaining the
laws at whatever cost. The Governor did
not bring his family with him as he intended,
on account of his disappointment in getting
suitable accommodations for their comfort in
Kansas.
A gentleman wh6 Canto np the Missouri on
the same steamer with him, reports that in
telligence appeared to be ahead of them, that
the Governor was on board tne oont, ana
crowds thronged the levee at every landing,
apparently to get a sight of his Excellency,
lie was soveral times rudely assailed by his-
enemie9, but tho Governor showed much cool
ness in warding off their wordy threats.
On one occasion a gentleman nppronohed
Gov. R., and said ho heard a friend at Wes
ton, Mo., remark that if Gov.' Reeder return
ed to the Territory he would gather np a
comnanv of men. ten thousand if necessary,
and search every part of the Territory, if
need bo. to find and hang him. The Gover
nor very cordially thanked his Informant for
the intelligence, and remarked i "Tell your
friend that whether he comes nt the head of
ten hundred or ten thousand men, it will
nnke no difference ; I nhall mver be mobbed j
nnd your friend, if bo makes a demonstration
in that direction, may rest assured that his
minut is are numbered, for I will put a ball
through his head though I know I shall be
cut into inch pieces in ten minutes afterward,
I shall pursue my legitimate business unin
terrupted, else the invader of my rights shall
nav the forfeit.
The bold aud mnnly courso pursued by
Gov. Reeder has etideared him to the Ameri
can people. It is reported that the Nation
al Administration would remove hiin if he did
not resign. We are confident that ho will
not resign, and if the administration shall re
move him they will find it tantamount to
committing suicide.
POTATO SEED.
A quantity of potato seed has lately been
procured, by the agricultural branch of the
Patent Office, from Germany, with the view
of experimenting in the United States with
different varieties of this so importaut agri
cultural staple.
A curious fact, not generally known, con
nected with the production of potatoes from
seed-bulls is, that no two steins will possess
precisely the same qualities, yet many of the
tubers will appear so much alike that, when
mixed together, they cannot be distinguished
by the eye, though it may happen that one
vnriety will be four times as prolific as the
other, or may be much better in other re
spects. The tubers raised from the seeds of
the samo ball are also prodigiously diversified
in regard to color, being pink, black, red,
white, green, yellow, &c ; nnd as to shape, are
round, nobbed and varied in all proportions ;
as to size, some of them being no larger tho
first year than peas, while others exceed the
size of a pullet's egg; as to "earliness," some
of them completing their growth iu July,
whilo others will not put forth their blossoms
until October ; ns to productiveness, some
yield more than two hundred to one, whilo
I others will only give three or four fold : as to
spreading under me grounu, some running
out to a great distance, others growing quite
near to the stem, somo descending deep into
the earth, while others will rise to the surface;
as to quality, somo will be tough and watery,
some dry mid mealy, some very pleasing to
the taste, while others will not be palatable ;
as to tho stems, somo will carry a single rod,
others an immense profusion of them, some
being very luxurious, while others will be
dwnrfish. 1 n short, as is very remarkable, no
sort of connexion will be found to exist be
tween any of the peculiarities of tho two spe
cimens. Washington Star.

Herald, of Thursday last, says : "Flour has
fullcn from 86 to $3 per hundred. Any
quantity can bo bought nt the latter figure.
We have no doubt but thut it can be bought
for $2 in a few weeks."
Heavy Fine for Usirt. Ono of the hea
viest known verdicts against usury has been
pronounced in Dijon, France, condemning a
banker to a fine of 100,000 fi ances. The par
ticular sum was named, as it was calculated
to represent, nearly, his ill-gotten profits for
five years.
Cholera. The Pittsburgh papers an
nounce the existence of cholera in Chartier's
township, near that city. It broke out in a
building containing 73 occupants, mostly
railroad laborers, and several deaths have oc
curred. Railroad Subscription. Tho City Coun
cils of Erie, Pa., have passed resolutions of
fering to subscribe 8200,000 to the stock of
the Pittsburgh and Erie Railroad, on cotidi

Rejoicing. There is great rejoicing ot
St. Louis on the occasion of tbo opening of
the Ohio and Mississippi railway, by w hich
means Kt Louis is connected witb tne cities
of the East by a direct line of railway. The
St. Louis Intelligencer, of the 6th, contains
nearly a page in relatiou to tbo opeuing cer
emouies of tho road.
A Taper Maker of tho South of Franco

dispensing with rags. With five common
plants he produces a puin, it is asserted,
which forms 80 per cent, of the pulp, furnish
ing the paper, of superior quality and of
cheap price. It is said that a large banking
house of Paris is on the point of forming
joint stock company, fur the developement of
this discovery.
A Diabolical Oi'traoe. The dwelling
houso of Mr. John Tucker, on the edge of
Providence. R. I., was blown np and almost
entirely destroyed on Thursday night. Some
persou placed a small keg of gunpowder un
der his bed, and from a barn outside it was
fired, causing a terrific explosion. No one
was seriously injured, though the escape from
death or Mr. Tucker and two young ladies,
seems little less than miraculous.
Washington, July 14. The Star of this
evening, asserts that the Government has in

Mr. Rowecraft, to bail in $2000; Turnbull
and Hamilton in $1000 each, and Capt.
Hoshne r in his own recognisance, to appear
before the U. District Court to answer the
charge. Capt. McKay, the agent of the Bri
tish Government, was too ill to appear before
the Commissioner. The psrties gave the re
quired security.
Death of a Conflict in the Indiana Peniten
tiary at Jtffersonville. A man, 13 years of
age, died on Friday night last of an affection
or the heart having penortned on the day
previous to his death his allotted task in ap
parent good health. He leaves a property
valued at $100,000, and was Incarcerated for
the period of two years for the crime of for
gery to the amount of $25 1 The old chap
was miserly in the extreme, denying to him
self the smallest luxury beyond the prison
fare of bread and water, and beefs-head broth.
Many anecdotes are related of this old scamp,
which go to mark him as one of tho oddities
of his species. At the time of his arrest for
the alledged forgery, he was tendered counsel,
who pledged themselves to clear him of the
charge for the fee of $500. To this the old
man replied, that "if convicted, the sentence
would only bo for two years, and ho didn't
think he could make his expenses and $250 a
year out of the penitent iary, and it would cost
him nothing to live there, und he would save
tiiat much any now I
The Reason Why. It will bo remembered
that a telegraph despatch some days since
announced that Mr. Thomas Winnns, of Bal
timore, illuminated his grounds in honor of
Russian success in the Crimea. It is stated
that this gentleman was many years in Rus
sia, as an assistant Engineer with Col. Whist
ler, and acquired there a fortune of $2,000,000.
He now owns and lives upon a magnificent
estate of six acre?, in heart of the city of Bal

of the r rench, intending shortly to go to 1 ar
is to see her daughter, sent all' ber jewels in
the Ambassador's despatch-bng, directed to
the Empress, supposing thut to be the safest
way. By somo means or other, a chief of the
Carlists got information of the fact, posted
some of their men on tho road, seized the
booty, and escuped without discovery. The
loss to the Countess is estimated at ever
50,000 sterling.
Washington, July 14. Mr. Weller, the
German Minister to Central America, is now

Washington. July 15. The Union, of this
morning, says the American officers sent to
the Crimea were entertained with splendid
hospitality at Berlin, by the Russian Minis
ter, and at Warsaw by Princa Puskiewitch,
nnd have accepted an invitation to visit the
JMiipcror ut st. 1 ctersburg.
IIokrim.k Revenue. Dr. Radeliff, who was
fond of the pleasures of tho table, wns one af-
ernoon eomlortubly disposing of a bottle or
me, when a countryman entered the room,
and begged him to come immediately to his
wife who was dving. "I can't help it, mv
ne fellow I can't come till I have finished
this bottle." Now it happened that the
countryman was a large, strong man, and the
doctor a very small one ; so it occurred to the
former that his best plan was to soizo the
octor and curry him on on his shoulders.
He did so ; and whilo ho was bearing him
along, the doctor, bursting with rage, ex
claimed "You villain, I'll cure your wife .'"
aud he was us good as his word.
Rkmarkaiii.e Performance. Mr. Nonh J.
Noyes, of Newburyport, Mass., walked from
that town to Boston, about 40 miles, on tho
3d instant., spent tho 4th in seeing the sights,
nnd on the Stli, the old gentleman, who is over
85 years of age, walked home again, ond went
to work in his garden next morning, appu-
entlv as lresn as usual.
Enormous Salary. Chas. Matthews is
said to bo engaged at the city of London
rheatro, at the almost bibulous salary A1;0
per week. This is the samo Chas. Matthews,
who, not long since, in answer to a question
propounded io him by the Commissioners of
bankruptcy, said, that "with strict economy
he thought he could live on the sum of 10,
000 a year."
Handsome Premicm. It is stated in the
London Publishers' Circular that the sum of
1000, offered by tho proprietors of the
1 imes, for the discovery of n new material lor
making paper, is likely to be claimed by a
.Mr W utts, who hud produced an aunuruble
article from wood shavings and bran, and
obtained a patent fur it.

Determination. "The longer I live," says
Sir T. F. Buxton, "the more I um certain
that the great difference betwsen men be
tween the feeble and powerful, the greut and
the insignificant is energy, invincible deter-
minatiou, a purpose once uxod in, and then
death or victory. That quality will do any
thing that can be done in the world ; and uo

will make a two legged creature a man with
