Is said to have more "you-bo-daninodness" about him than 'any other nobleman In England. But Lord Ballsbury runs htm close. lie Is the very typo ot the strong-minded, bull-headod. good-torn-pered English aristocrat, and shows It In bis ppenranco as In his words and acts. gjjr J Lord Salisbury was a younger son of tho see- :?' ud Marquis of Ballsbury. and though his V' father was tho lord ot many acres and marrlod w ' to a (treat heiress, the present bead of tho 0i, house started In llfo with llttlo but a hlstorlo 4- , name and a splendid education. Lord Bobert pu Arthur Talbot Qascolgne Ceoil was not tho &f' man to live on his father or to Idle away the fl. best ot his years among dogs and horses. Ue 0& determined to bo independent, and. having an 1 Oxford fellowship to support him. he set out SHa forAustrallaandNewZoalandwlththo serious Bpl1 Intention ot becoming a oolonlst and building hS; P his own fortune by enterprise and bard &M' Work. There he grow his beard, for In thoso M& days a razor was almost an unknown article "J " ths oolonleB-and be has worn It ever slnco. wR Lord Robert's plans of llfo were entlroly j'-' hanged by the death of his older brother, wj Lord Cranbourne, to whoso oourtesy, title, and '!t- jrnajjnlflcent prospects he succeedod. Ue had iw 'toads a great name for himself in the House .IriS Commons, and been n member of Lord lis?' Derby's Cabinet, when, five years later, the t45' death ot his father made him Marquis of Sails- 'Jk- ' bury and one ot the great landed magnates ot pM, England. Ha was then 38. and in the prima gP.; of his powers, and his accession to tho House p;jv.f ot Lords proved a most fortunate thing for the fes'-i Conservative party. Lord Derby, the great JJtY'; LordJDerbr, as he Is commonly called, was a !lf( Tory of.lhe old school, and an unfortunate ISs-?' polltlolan In every way. He was a man of IvS,'- ,i splendid presence and most chivalrous char- ISPi .1 sater. and his princely munificence and ar- l'3'.S i-""' dent love ot sport made him personally dfc'-fi'' i popular. But he was nover in touch with KwrR" the English people or In harmony with tho fti&U, spirit or the ago. He seemed to be a feudal I' '4', 'nobleman of the middle ages dropped accl- h'-pi- . 'dentally into tlio nineteenth oenturr. Under M t his leadership the Conservatives really had no ijlfi; prospeots. They never got Into power except ?;? through some temporary crisis, and they -Mo-? never held it for more than a few months. -v& " M- ' Conservative administration as a i'i$ permanent thing seemed to liavo passed away. &&? just a year after Lord Salisbury's accession to fife ths family honors Lord Derby died. Mr. Dls- V-t (raeli succeeded to tho leadership of tho party. Si''- imnd Lord Ballsbury took charge ot their lnter- ,;., lests In the House of Lords. He was immedi- vt. ' ytelT elected Chancellor of the University ot V. I Oxford in succession to Lord Derby a very CS'jV- IhlKh honor for so young a man and was IfS 'ninrkod out for the future Prime Minister. KS-WS Two more different men than Disraeli and P'j? (Lord Ballsbury could not well be imagined. w&C IDlsraell was all his life an actor, a mystery, a tW." ;drf amer. an adventurer. He possessed notb- )i(, .'na: and be did not want to possess anythinc. IIv . Ha never really owned an acre of land In his U1J.' vv life, and it he had just enough money for our- HZ- rent expenses ho was thankful not to bo I troubled with morp. Ho had no children, and his wife was more like a friend than anythinc else. He was as un-Kngllsh in all his Uloas as be was In appearance. Lord Salisbury Is xoctly the opposite. Ho is. porhaps. the most English Englishman in i.ngland. Ho is a waaltby landowner and tho Inheritor of titles and estates 900 years old: otssn ttally a family man, and the very Pink ot so cial grandeur and high style. Yet the two men got on excollentlv togotlier. because the had brains. Lord Ballsbury was wise enough to discern that Disraeli, with all his fllnvlness and all his charlatanism, had really big Ideas and a bis enough heart to carry them out. He was bold enough, too, to trust Dlarnell; and nobody who over trusted him found him falno. Dteraell had that strange insight Into men's olrcraoters whloh enabled him to find out .sooner than anybodyelse. notoxceptlng them selves, what they wero best fit for. Lord Ballsbury had devoted himself mainly to home affairs and especially to Church ques tions: but Disraeli discerned in him a great foreign Minister, lly way of tostlnK his ca pacity in this respect, ho Kent him to tho con ference of the powers at Constantinople with out any previous training, us Minister Pleni potentiary, at an oxtromely critical period. He acquitted himself ho well that he aoqulrod at one stroke almot equal rank with Disraeli as a master ot foreign politlos a position whloh he has never forfeited since. Prom that tlmo until Disraeli's death In 1881, the two statesmen wero as David and Jona than; and when tho author ot tho policy ot "peace with honor " was laid to his rest under the pyramid of primroses at Hughenden Lord Ballsbury was unanimously acclaimed his suc cessor In the leadership ot the Conservative party. How well h has succeeded in that position Is attested by the fact that out of the eleven years elapsed since Disraeli's death the Conservatives have been in office seven: thoy have never been defeated on a Government question In the House of Commons, nor on any question In the House of Lords; and they nave lost fewer sent than either party ever lost before In an equal length of time. The contrast between their condition to-day and their condition under Lord Derby Is one of tha most remarkable things in the modern history of English politics. Undountedly. Disraeli had a great deal to do with that. He aTalvanlred the .prestige ot the Conservative , rarty Into a brilliant semblance of renewed vi tality, but Lord Salisbury really Inspired It with fresh life, and maintained It over u lone period of years in evor Increasing vigor. A British Foreign Ulnlxter needs to be much more than a merodlplomatlRt. The ablest nnd roost prominent diplomatists in the Queen's service are. In fact, onlr instruments In bis hand. If only tho lirjtlsh Isles were to be considered, his post would be comparatively a sinecure. But what he has to understand nnd Mnr oonstastly in mind are tho several and collective Interests of all the dlverso und wide ly scattered parts of the empire. Often, when he Is conducting somo tedious negotiation 'with a continental power on nn apparently trivial question, the object which ho renllv has In view is connected with the future safety or welfare of some dlstnnt dspondunay. Practi cally, ho controls all the outxide affairs ol I ho empire, and the Minister of War, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and even the First Lord of the Admiralty, aro only coadjutornnf his. That is why Lord Salisbury hue always contended that tho office of Minister for Pur elgn Affaire oughtto be held by tho head of the Government, lleforu his time it was eiis tnmary for the Premier to be First I.ord of the Treasury, on tho theory that he oucht to hold N. the purse strings But Lord Salisbury has always taken the ground that the uinstliu- rorlant office In tho Cuhlnot, in the modern position of the British empire. Is that of Tor .ign Minister, and that he it. quitn ns well nhlo to control tlix put no strluci tin ouch a truMod oofleagua ax ha would bo il he Uluitnit admin istered the Treasury. History affords almnd.mt evidence of tho correctness of this vlnw. All the recent trnublo between 0 rent Britain nnd Frsneo about the l North American flsheries-anda verysorlous trouble It isarose from L'ros Ignnrnnco of colonial affairs on tho part of a Foreign Minlj Iter more than 100 years ago. Jn onoof his 1 bast-knowi essay Macaulay makes great fun ot the Duka ot Newcastle for not knowing that I CapefliatonwMon island. But at a much T-- n T--1 ' f Mm, ii ,f im i i mihi ii 1 1 ii 1 1 1 ii mi iTr i later period Java, the gem of the Indian Ocean, was lost to Great Britain hy a similar blunder on tha part ot a Foreign Minister, who. In con eluding, a treaty of pesocsald ho supposed "one island was much the samo as another! ' We need notgoaorar back as that. Indeed, to see the rosults of tha systom of divided coun sels In Imperial affairs, against which Iiord Ballsbury has steadfastly set his, faoe. All through Mr. Gladstone's long administration tho empire- was involved In costly and dis astrous llttlo wars, and in angry altercations with tha colonies, simply because tho Premier ?:avenllbts attention to tho Treasury, whlo ho Foreign Minister, the War Mlnlstar. the First LoroVof the Admiralty, and tho Secretary for tho Colonies oaoh pulled his own way. Thore has been nothing of that kind during the last seven yoars, and It is safe to say thero never will be as long as Lord Salisbury re mains whero ho Is. The rule of IiIh foreign policy Is. to use his own woids, to treat all othor powers as a gontleman would trost Ills neighbors ; that Is to say, like gentlemen," and in every cjibo. if possible, to como to u friendly settlement, beneficial to all concerned; and the underlying princlplu of It all. In to keep good faith, promising nothing which ho dons not fulfil, nnd threatening nothing whloh ho doos not moan to inflict. Bismarok. who Is an unequalled judgo ot such matters, used to say It was Impossible to cultivate the friendship of Urcatllrltaln under Gladstone, because It was lmposslbla to do pend on British policy from week to week: whoroas under Lord Salisbury's rt'slmo Ger many has become attached to Great llrltnln without offending French stiscoptlbllllles. At homo, white Lord Salisbury's creat mer its as a Foreign Bllnlstor are ery generally acknowledged, ho 1ms never gained popularity in thu ordinary sense. Tho aristocracy swear by him. and tho great masx of the working men have a genuine admlrntlnn of him. Hut tho lower middle class, the small trndesmen, and the more mob do not llko him nt all As for him, he despises theni too heattllyto havo any resentment against them, and ha Is far too proud to mnko nny oliort to con ciliate them. Ho never shrinks from ex pressing bis contempt for them and their views of putdlo life, and ho Is at miy timn i endy to retire rather than to be Indebted to them for a slnfflo vote. Ho Is not nn eloquent speaker, but he Is so bold and clear, und In dealing with his opponents he has such a cut ting wit, that his spooehesaro always cngorly listened to and read. Ilu Is not uncommonly charged with had taste in his epigram;, as. for InFtanoe, when he said, apropos of William O'Brien and Dillon's flight from ball and Par Hell's catastrophe: "It Is a curious thing about Irish Nationalist leaders that thoy are always oscaplng. Somotlmc thoy escape-by water and sometimes by the flro escape But he cares nothing for such accusations. Ho nays whatovor ho pleases, nnd if hl.s iocs don t llko it. so much tho worse for thorn. In prlvato life Lord Salisbury is a prlncoly noble in all respects, a magnificent host, nn excellent landlord, and a tlrra ami cordial frtond. Ho has ontortalned yneen lctorln at Hattlold House, his splendid seat In Hertford shire, ns his anoestora entertained Queen Elizabeth under the samo roof, anil l6t year ho ontortalned tho German J-.mperor thore. But to soe him at his boet It Is nocos-nry to be at one of his homo parties, when ho surrounds hlmselrwlth his neighbors and friends from all parts of the country, and eomes out strong In his true character of "a fine old English fientleman, ono of tho oldun time. He oves good eating and drinking, puts away a bottle ot old port after dinner. In dellance of his hereditary gout, and is Yiot ashnmod pf a few generous old English vices. But joWciie oblige is his rulo of life, and ho never departs from It For yoars- past his health has com pelled htm to live in the south of Franco in winter, and the Villa Cecil Is bocoming almost as well known in connection with his name as Hatilold.

Frttn the Hut FnnHrn Chnmtcl: Six of the crow ot the sealing schoonor Mat tie T.Dyer, who wero lost from tho vessel while hunting on May 13. arrived yesterday from Yokohama on tho Btoamer China. The party consists ot the two hunters. William Pe terson of Bontcla and Petor Hammol of Xova to. and boatpullera and boatstoerers John Creer. Gus Muller, G. Hallock. and Charles Godfrey. They had a vory hard experienoe on the Japan side, and arrived penniless. " Seals are plentiful on tho Japan side." said Hunter Poterson yesterday. "On May 13 six boat were launched from the Dyer. Hunter Hammel in his boat kept me company. I had captured twenty-two seals and he twenty-ono when a fog bank settled around us. The sohooner was well to leeward. We stopped hunting and tried to reaoh her. but without success. We only had six largo crackers In each boat and a small supply of water. Think ing we would find our vessel in tho morning, we ate and drank. The next day nothing was soen of the schooner, so wo decided to make for tho Japan coast, some lttO miles distant. "There was nothing to cat but soul meat. Boat-pullor John Creer was tho only one who could not eat this kind of food, and became near starving to death In the six days that it took to reach land. Wo wore parching with thirst when a storm camo on. The sea ran very high, and we constantly had to bale the boats out Tho rain that foil was our salva tion. We spread our sail nnd got a supply of wator, and then, too, the rain kept tho soa down. We used the bodies of four seals we had skinned as a drag, and tho oil that camo from tho carcasses also had the effect of smoothing the wator around the boat At night wu passed a, lino to Hammel's boat, so as to keep the two boats in company. " On the evening of.the sixth day I sighted a light nnd fired several shots from myelin, thinking it wan a ship's light. On getting nearer wo found it to be a lighthouse on Klng asad Island. We all landod and were given food and sheltor. Croor was bo much exhaust ed that he could not speak, and had to be car ried ashore. Deer wore most plentiful on the Island, so Hammel shot a buck. Wo took the carcass to tho luchthouse. whero the keeper rooked us an immense pot ot porridge. Hardly had wo finished our appetizing re past whon the keeper of tho Island found out that we had killed a deer. Ho rr.ado a great fuss ovor tho dead animal, and took what wns loft of the carcass away. Wo after ward found out that doer on the island were regarded as sacred by the Japanese. Wo wero taken in chargo iiy several men and convoyad in a boat to tho mnln land. We could not understand a word said to .us. Tho magistrate before whom we woro takon sont .'i(K) miles to Yokohama for an lntorprotor. Whon our story was learned tho Japs were very kind to us, and tlm killing of the sacred deer was overlooked. Wo woro taken to Yoko hama, where the American Consul took our skins nnd boatK. gavo us a suit of olothes apiece, and sent us home." The hunters brought their guns home with them. One ot tho firearms has quite a history. It originally bolonged to a paymaster in the United States navy, who. whilo stationed In Japan, got into trouble of some kind nnd sold the gun to n Junanese. He in turn sold It to a sailor, who klllod a man with it in a row. It next camo Into possession oIahu.nt.ir on tho schooner Theresa, who sold It to Donuld Ito-ss. the shipping merchant, a your azo. Hunter Peterson, on the Dyer, got tho gun last Febru ary, and yesterday it came back to Mr. Boss. AETEll YEARS OV taEAHCIt. A.

Bobert Lincoln, nnd. in laot. of all Senator Harlan's family, nnd by her social qualities nnd Intel lectual gilts has won praise from every promi nent literary light or politician who visited the college town In lecture tours for thu last quar ter of n century. In May. 1810. Dr. John H. Taylor, who was a surgeon lu tho Twenty-third Illinois oluu tccr Infantry, was committed to tho Insane asylum ot Jacksonville. III. Ho was sunt thero nsa raupor. nnd has romalned In arlous nsylums ovor tlnoeus a public charge. All thubo years the unfortunate man's wife, Mrs. Alice I. Taylor, has been drawlnu $71! a month from the Government us pension money al lowed her husband, but ho has nover rocclvod the benefit of tho mnuoy. Complaint was made to Gnu. John Stlbhs. tho pension ex aminer bore, several months ago, of this fact, and lie, with the assistance of District Attor ney Milchrlst, has succeeded In forcing tho wile to disgorge over $8,000, whloh Will now be iisimI fur the bonefltof the pensioner. Taylor made application for a pension just boforo he hecame insane. After being sent to Jacksonville, HI., he was transferred to tho asylitm nt Dunning, where ho remained as an Insane pauper for years. It was not until live years after his Incarceration that tho pen-Ion was allowad at the rate of $72 por month. Mr. Taylor was at that tlmo, according to Gen. Ktlbbs's story, a rosldentof Mount Pleasant. Iowa, whoro she llvod with hor parents. Upon learning that tho ponslon hud been gi.ntod. Gen. Stltibs says tho wlfo ramn to Chicago and represented herself aresidontof Cook county, secured tho conservatorship of bar husbands estate, nnd thus got control of tho pens'.ou. Mrf. Tayiorntonco returned to Mount Pleas ant and has lived thero over since, an I slnco 1874 has drawn $lU.r04. not ono penny of which, lion. Btlbbs says, wns over used tu al leviate her husband's condition. Mrs. Tarlor sooms to have ignored hor husband altogether, as. according to Gen. Btlbbs, Bhe ho not e een him for twelve years or paid any attention to his noeds or desires. lion, btlbbs went to Mount Pleasant somo tlmo ago to Investigate and ho found that Mib. Taylor had saved S10.000 out of tho pen sion money paid her nnd invested it in nntos nnd other securities. After he had secured nil the proof Gen. Stlbhs leturnud to Chicago and summoned Mrs. Taylor, bho confoed that she had received and kept for herself all tho money paid her slnco 1874. As Mrs. Taylor Is nn invalid It was decided not to prosecute her. and the enso was finally sottlod on the basis of tho payment by hir ot ,100 to the Illinois Trust and Savings Hank, which wns appointed conservator in Mrs. Taylor's stead. Dr. Taylor Is now nt tho Kankakee asylum. The asylum authorities say that tho patient would be in much better condition to-day nnd might feasibly havo rocovered had ho been given he better treatment his liberal pension al lowance would havo permitted. As it is. he is 07 years ot age, and there is not tho slightest chance of his rocovcry. Mrs. Taylor gave no satisfactory explana tion to Gen. Btlbbs ot hor remarkable treat ment other helpless husband all the years ot his incarceration in the asylum. She only said ho was hopelessly Insane and this money would not havo helped him. Mrs. Taylor Is still residing at Mount Pleasant She Is well known ns a temperance lecturer and leader In the prohibition movement. She also has con nldernblo reputation as a writer, having pro duced a gront deal ot litorature which obtain ed wide circulation among p rohlbltlonists. A WELL-EQUIPPED SECTIOX GASG.

He has been out along tho line for n woek, and tells a story about an experienco ho bad while his car was lying at Sand Patch a night or two ago. The foreman ot a gang came up to him and said: ' Tluro Is more talent to tho square Inch in that gang on tho fur side of that mountain than I have met with since I was at tho last Domocratlc State Convention.' Mr. Holbrook asked tho man what he meant and tho foreman continued: "I whs coming up the hill from work with my gang a bit ago. and whon a few rods below Philsonra we found the body of a man lying beside the track. His body was yet warm, ana I said, ' I wish I bad a doctor hero,' Bald I. half to myself. , ... ' ' I guess I can answer in a pinch, said one ofthoraonpf the gang.

He took six of the gang and hold an Inquest, and returned a verdict ot acldentnl death. "'Woll. tout's done: put him In tho hand car and we'll take him up nnd get a coffin and a proachor and bury him.' I said to the men. " What's the use?' tnld n man ot the gang who hadn't snld a word till now. I nm a minister, and always have a Bible with me. Lot's hold tho services right here.

Tho Ounir d'Aleno braves woro routed, hut not until they hnd carried oil throe Klickitat maidens, who wore highly pilfcpdby tho warriors of othor tribes becauso of tholr beauty, enduranc. and skill In tho preparation of food. Tlu pursuit was to hot Hint the captors found that It would he neces sary to ralcns tho Klickitat women or adopt soma stratagem.

It was bottor than to lor.o them alto gether, howovor, und the three braves took tho woman to n cavo In Palmer Mountain. From thero thoy watched tho rescuing party on tho plains below, and when the young Klickitat girls saw tholr people- disappear on tho trail of tho (Vcur d'Aleuos, all their hopes ot liberty vanished. Ono of tho captives was tho daugh ter of n modlclno man, and accustomed to handlo und capture all kinds of roptllas, from which hor osto Jinod, and highly voncrslcd an cestor was supposed to brow his most healing potions.

A genuine young heroine, whose deed of daring a fow days ago entitles her to n place of prominence nmong the heroes ot tho hour. Is Tannic Kruuso. at present uu lnmute of the Boys and Girls' Aid Society. Fannie Is only about IS or 14 years old. but by no moans petite. She will tower n half head or more above the averaga girl of fifteen, and has a framo and muscular development that make her widely respected among all her acquaintances regardless of age. She is simply a young Amazon, and thero isn't n boy about the promises ot her age or slzo that is hor equal In any respect strength, spoed, agility, or physical achievement of whatever kind. Ana in hor way she is quite an attractive girl, too. If not bewltchlngly beautiful, she is as eood-nntured as the sunshlnesnd has a frank, open countenance that bespeaks an honest heart and n Ins the confidence of her acquaint uncos almost at sight. One day last week Fannie was down town to visit some friends in tho neighborhood ot Central Park. As sho was going along Market streot. near the corner of Eighth, she noticed a one-horse conveyance containing an elderly lady with a baby In her arms. The horse ap peared to be ill nt oase.and evon while she stood thoro took fright at a passer-by waving somothlug red In his hand. With a quick turn the animal made tor tho other sido ot the street and started to run. The woman In tho conveyance, realizing the danger ot her situa tion, screamed with nil her might and callod some one to catch th horse. With the baby In her arms she could do nothing, nndif tho animal got undor way probably death awaited them both. Thore was no ono near nt the instant but Fannie Krnuse. and it seems almost provi dential that such was tho case. Sho was quite equal to the emorgenoy, and it there had been a score at hand they aould not have done more, nor halt so well. Quick ns a flash sho took in tho situation, and making a wild dash tor the oscaplng vehicle, reached It before It hadgono twlco tho width of the street. She grasped the buggy box in the rear and leaped clear In behind the seat, then climbing over the soat caught hold of the lines, and In a half mlnuto more had brought the frightened ani mal to a standstill. (Juite n crowd had gathered arouna by tho time tha vohlclo had stopped, nnd woro loud in their expressions ot admiration ol the young girl's pluck and presenoe ot mind. When tho owner ot the convoyanoo came up and saw the narrow escape his wife nnd child had had, ho was almost too trightenod to sponk, and could hnrdly express his gratitude to tho young rescuer. He wanted to glvo hor somo money, but sho modostly refused It and wont on her way as it nothing had happened. BLACKSXAKE AND BATTT.EH.

They bad a chance to sir.o up the strnngor, which was about six feet long and of a gray ish striped color. In a few minutes the black snake was seen to appear from under the orlb fifty feet distant and move slowly toward the rattlesnake. ,, "Sow for n fight." said Mr. Bert W alkor, and tho party drow back to give the reptiles a full show. Noiselessly came tha huge black fellow, carrying Ills head high In the air and occasionally dropping, It. apparently studying the ground around whloh he was to make the attack. It was plainly evident that the black snake wanted to tight Whon within twenty feet of tho othor creature he stopped, raised his head, and the rattlesnake saw him for the llret time. Tha ground between theni was clear, not a stick or a stone bolng noticed for ninny yards. ... , ... The rattlor raised his hoad and throw out his tongue and seouied to be prepared for an encounter. They really reminded one ot a couple of desperate men just entering the arena for a fight to the death. Presently the black champion started an a circle around his prey, getting nearer to the rattler every mlu ute. The rattler never took his eyes from tho approaching enemy. And his head going around reminded the lookers-on of tho move ment of a oorksarew. Whon within six feet ot the rattler tho black fellow flew around so fast that you could hardly tell what It was. It was llko taking a string tied to a stick and twirling It with all ono's might Suddenly tho two came together and Immediately be came entwined about each other, rolling over and ovor in the dust. This lasted for fully live minutes. Then there was a lull and the black snake was eeen to h&va his adversary by the throat with his mouth. His body was twisted about the rattlor' s body and every fow seconds ho would give a squeeze that sent the rattler so much further toward his end. In ten minutes the blnok hero dropped tho hody of his victim, drew himself up., took ono last look, and thon wound off Into tho brush. It was a rare und remarkable scone and thoroughly enjoyed by all of the party. One of the gentlemen raised up tho dead rattlor on a slick nnd found that ha was terribly geshnd atidninngled. Like the boa constrictor, the Illicit snake does not blto, but crushes out tho llfo of Its victim.
