NF“ \nua, July flit—Jillia- Tinns' lvmlrr
to.dav says: In the busy railroad world few
circumstances are more remarkable than the
anxiety to secure the trafiic of the region
traversed by the Northern Pacific Railroad,
which 10 years ago was deemed unworthy of
serious notice. Chicago railroad companies‘
have secured all the roads in Southern Minw
nesota. The St. Paul .t' Duluth railroad.
has been purchased by the shareholders oil
the Milwankie & tit. Paul, and both the lflt‘l
ter roads and the Northwestern have plans
afoot for drawing oti' tho tratiic created by
the Northern Pacific as well as the trailie
which seems naturally to belong to that en
terprise. ’l'he reorganiZz-u'. St. Paul & l’a
ciiic has been undo possible by the same
growth in these latitudes. and it will comw
pets with the Northern Pacific for the grain
trailie of the lied River valley and for the
grain tratlic of the mttlements advancing
with almost incredible rapidity in the. Canad
ian province of Manitoba. The Northern
Pacific finds itself beset with powerful com
petitors tor the tranic oi the territory it has
opened. 'i‘he contest will not end at the
Missouri. but promises to extend all along‘
the northern route across the continent. .
The Union Phcitic has plans matured for
extending its ramifications to Montana. and
securing control of which the Northern Pa
citlc doomed itself sure. The former must
stretch its feeders northwest and secure the
trade of a region infi.itely richer than the
other, or its power will be broken. Nor
will the competition be confined to Mon
tana. At first glance it may not be easy to
catch. considerations which impel the con
trolling powers of the Union Pacific to buy
the franchises and property of the Oregon
Steam Navigation Co., and to secure the
magnificent possibilities of the Columbia
river. If Jay Gould's purpose be efl’ected,
the Union Pacific will gain two points. It
will divert trafilc from the Northern Pacific
and establish connection with the Pacific
Manitoba, which is destined to be a compet
itor wrth Minnesota and Dakota in the wheat
markets of the world. If the speculations
of a writer in the Nineteenth Century prove
even approximately correct. an ocean outlet
may be obtained ”from the very heart 01 the
continent," 300 miles nearer Liverpool than
via Newl'ork. and available tour or five
months in the year. .

The Zulu War.
LONDON, July 24.-——Si' Garnet Wolsley tel
egraphs from Durban on the Bth of July as
follows: I have halted all reinforcements
here, as I believe the war is over.‘ Do not
send any more men or supplies till you hear
from me. I expect to meet the great Zulu
chief about the 16th. _
A correspondent at Ulundi, under date of
July 4th, says: It is stated that Cetewayo
five days ago, sent 400 head of cattle with a
peace messenger to the British, but they
were stopped by one of the Zulu regiments.
who declared that no pence should be made
until they were beaten. The prisoners say
that Gateways opposed war. They admit
that the entire Zulu force was present at the
battle. The Zulu loss is estimated at 1,500.
The two guns taken at Isandula were found.
Specials from South Africa say that when
the troops entered Ulundi they found every
thing of value removed to a new kraal, built
by citizens when the war broke out, 15 miles
north of Ulundi and approached only through
a. long and narrow ravine. King Cetewayo
has some at his chief regiments with him as
a body, guard, and correspondents doubt it
he wrl immediately come to terms.
The sword of the Prince Imperial has
been delivered to the British commander by
a messenger from Cetewayo.

SAN Fumemco, July 24.—« The great de
mand (or wheat bags will occur in the next
90 dnyh, and lthe market in the meantime
will be practically under control of those
who have gone into n pool on grain bogs. It
is claimed that the stock pooled comprises
15,000,000 wllcnt bugs. If the combination
succeed in creating and maintaining an ud
vunce equal to {our cents for the semen, of
which there seems to be little doubt at pres
ent, it means a profit of $600,000 to specula

The Humility of a Crcmwell]
.....k. |
'i‘h-i humility of great men i--. :t not i
unfrwpn-nt phenomenon in the world oft

prior to insp «tion and analysis, .1, lugitL;

iii-:n'er \'i~w, llOW’t'Yt'l'. it discloses heter- '
ogeneolls features, und shows :1. sufo and .
an unsafe side. *‘ "t “‘ There appears l
to he in some minds what we may term
the talent of humility, :is distinguished
from the virtue. The talent of humility
does much more than simply use expres
sions, and put on on outside : it assumes
the real feeling, so far as it can be as
sumed without beingr intrinsic: it cre
ates its sensations, and throws itself into
its spirit. The distinction between the
superindueed and the moral and genuine
feeling is, indeed, most subtle often, and
dillieult of detection. The one seems to
be able to do all that the oti‘er can. It
is felt at the proper times, und it comes
out with natural ease, exuberance and
plianey. A general consciousness in
habits the mind of the claims of humil
ity; the sentiment is kept in View, a
vicinity to it is maintained, and the will,
by an eusy process, is always ready to
slide into the feeling when :l. situation
suggests. * "‘ ‘V' (.‘romwell exhibits
this talent in u remarkable and highly
developed form. He. luxuriates in it;
'he wields it with an almost wanton free
dom and licentious boldness; he throws
himself with warmth into all the sensu
tions which belong to poor, humiliated,
persecuted, despised mm. “is humility
rises with his determination. At the
time be. was literally riding roughshod,
with his Ironsides, over the country, and
pushing it, by main force und simple
steel, into extrmnities from which it
shrunk, he and his followers were the
“poor, despised. jeercd saints; poor
weak saints, yet saints; if not sheep,
yet lambs.” “Oh, His mercy,” he says,
“to the whole society of saints; let them
mock on '2" They were “the poor people
of God,” “poor despised things," “poor
instruments,” “weak hands." He him
self was, in his strongest days, but a
“poor looker-on," a “poor unworthy
creature," a “servant to you.” He “did
not grasp at power," and he “would
rather have kept a flock of sheep than
held the Protectorate." Such were Crom
well aiid his Ironsides, according to his
own account. The proud world was
trampling, in its strength, upon those
innocent and helpless babes—as grim,
fierce, and deadly men of steel as ever
won. a political cause or raised a victory
ious general to power.—-Morley’s Essays.
Whom Victoria has Outlived.
And now, as she looks back on the
two and forty years of her reign, what
changes has Her Majesty seen in the
personnel of her Privy Council, her Par
liament and her Cabinet Ministers, to
say nothing of her judicial and episcopal
bench? She has outlived by several
years every bishop and every judge
whom she found seated on those benches
in England, Scotland and Ireland. She
has witnessed the funeral of every Pre
mier who has served under her except
Lord Beaconsfield and Mr. Gladstone.
Not a single Cabinet Minister of her
uncle and predecessor's days now sur
vives; and of those who held inferior
oflices under her first and'favorite Pre
mier, I find among the living only Lord
Halifax (then Charles Wood), and Lord
Howick (now Lord Grey).
. Of the members of the Privy Council
which sat at Kensington Palace on that
bright Summer morning in J une, 1837,
to administer the oath to the girlish
Queen, I can find in the land of ihe liv
ing only four individuals—George S.
Byng (now Lord Stratford dc Redclifl'e),
Lord Robert Urosvenor (now Lord Ed
bury), and the veteran Earl of \Vilton.
indeed, it may h'e said that Her Ma
jestyhas lived to receive at Court in
very many, perhaps in mast instances,
the successiw wearers of the name coro

champ, four Dukes of Northumberland
and live Lords Rodney. She has re
ccivcd the homage of four Archidshops
of Canterbury, of four Archbishops of
York, and. live Bishops of Chichester,
Lichticld and Durham successivr-ly. Slu
llas filled each of the three justicships
twice at least; she has received the ad
dresses of four successive Sneakers of
the House of Commons; she has in
