apoko refloctivuly as a fair-mlndod nnd
IioneHt liintorian might "peak who bad
weighed tlio pros and eons of a great
career and wns prepared to striko
a balance He kept steadily in
view tho restricted resources of tbo
South at the outset, tho otn
bnrraHHinonta growing out of tho want of a
navy and tho uxiatunco of a clone blockade,
tbo want of inonoy, tho limited Dumber of
tho industrial and mechanical classes con
stantly encroached upon by tho nccrnsi
ties of tho Held, tho nmbarraHsmonts gro'v
lug out of partisan disafTuclions, a Con
gress that at no timo showed Itself worthy
of its distinction as a revolution,
ary legislntivo body, and abovo all,
and tho greater embarrassment grow
ing out of the peculiar construction
of a federative system resting upon tho
Rates' ribts theory, Mr, Dana was quick
to take all theso tliinvs Into consideration,
aud was fair, just uud candid in his esti
mate of tho leader, who, whatover his in
firmities of disposition, was true to tbo
people who trusted him, and exhausted
tho resources arruniulittod In two centu
ries to carry their wUhes and hope
iuto olloct. Mr. Dana, as Assistant
hicretary of War during tho most
trying period of tho civil war, proved
himself a statesman itosscted of a very
largo meortiro of tba patience, ret
lee n co and discretion of tho states
man, nnd ho bad an insight into tbo
conduct of affairs and tho value of civil as
well as military men that entilleshis opin
ion to great weight. In dealing with mull
nlllcially ho was largely guided by tbo
experience hu acquired iu journalism, by
which ho learned to weigh and con
tnifit them. Mr. Pavis was lo Mr. PH'ere
tnry I'aiia a publio enemy, but bo wns till
the inure on that account to bo prolnunilly
ciiiisideied, eneciiilly lM-eauso bo was
tba I'resident of tho C'oiifederner. a
statesman so eminent that bo was
tho choice of a majority of the I'eino
rratlo party in WW for tbo Presidency, had
been Secretary of War uud tho best tbo
country, up lo that time, bail had
since John C. Calhoun's administration
of that o I lice, was a (ieiiernl of
biigado in tho Mexican war, and a
Tinted Males Senator who enjoyed in
a pre-euiliiont degree Hid rcsiicd and con
lldence of his fellow Senator. Mr. Davia
hail attained to theso sin-connive steps by
dint of his abilities, and it was tliess
abilities and hi rj-iienio in pub
lic station that annealed bis elevation
10 the 'residency of tlio Confederacy and
11 was their roer and prompt axprclae In
the 11 1 t year of tho war that Juitille l tho
H'ople of tho Koiilh In coiillriiiing at an
election tho judgment of tho Provisional
Congress, in thus elevating him. All this
is mutter of history, and mors Hint wo
could clte If time and apneo served. Hut
enough ia here given to sustain the nubias-
ed judguientof Air. I 'una frooly apokenas lo
a at.iteauian who bo borno every form of
contumely and halo and every form of ad-
verso and harshly expressed criticism, an I
survived them all Mr. l'uvis'a earnest-

iK'holniMhlp, and his fixed determination
In aland firm Id the end, out
weigh all bis alleged Infirmities of tcincr
and bis porsonal enmities and oppositions.
History will deal with him more kindly
than the muii of bis own geneiation, and
anticipating ita verdict il ia a pleasure lo
record what a contemporary statesman on
tho Federal aide think of lilm and to
know iiniii what basis hu makes a judg
ment Hint tbo masse of tho South will
piesetitly indorse.
Ami tho women ol tho churches what
are they doing? Well, for lustaucn, at tho
nuptial Anniversaries, held in I lost on May
Ii to "I, more prominence than usual wss
given lo the work of the women of the
denomination, occin!ly In tho reports ol
foreign aud medical missions. Tho fact
that within sixteen year tho Women's
p'ncloty has raised ovorfl.OnlKiOiu money,
beside doing a vaat educational work, ha
peih.ips oeiied the ryes of their brelhtcn
to women's ability and peroeranco in ail
good works. And then there is tho esse
of (ho Lev. May C. Jones, tho Ural
woman lo bo ordained by lb Cb
Communion Laptists, and who lias
bad tbargo for two years of the
church at Kpolatio Kails, Washington
Territory. The Home MiKoimi Society,
liHiu w bich tho KNikuuo Church had been
deendeut for half the pastor's salary, re
filling lo rccotfiiuo a woman a a inluUlcr,
nnd refusing to reiiMiiite her, withdrow
their support Put tho congregation to-
nlvcd and have been enable J to do with
out It; and have this year ruised Mrs.
Jones' salary from $ 1,000 to f I.Sts), Mrs.
Jones was ordained iu IHS.', without a dis
senting vote, by tho Post ItaptUt Chinch
of Seattle, lilting In council with sit of
ven ministers, who were ihnre In attend
ance upon the llaptint Association ol Puget
Sound and UrilUU Columbia. Chief Justice
(ires'iio acting as iinler.ilor of the council.
Thus tho world continue to inovo and the
women with It,
Tut women of Iouislna and Missis
ippi are moving iu the mailer of the bal
lot, and will ask llu-lr resixn-tlv legisla
tures to puss laws permitting women lo
vote for school nflicers and to hold school
ofliccs. Tlt IWs Vmocral sustain the
women of l-ouisiaiu, and frankly advise
iLcm to npprul totbe txgislaturr and adds:
"If llio women of Jtho Btato who drsiro to
participate in a tax or similar elections
present tho matter to the Legislature and
show how universally tho principle is now
recognized Hint thoso women who pay
taxes eb o nl d vote if thoy wish to at tax
elections, wo think that body would place
Louisiana in lino witli the rest of tho
world on this point."
Tn k horrors of tho calamity that swept
Johntlown, To., out of existonce with its
mills and shops and homes, and host of
human beings aro increased a thou
sand fold by tlio accounts we pub
lish this morning, and which aro soul
harrowing In tho extreme. It Is, take it
all iu all, tho most appalling visitation that
has ever la f illou our country. Tho dead
are thought to number 10,000, and tho
loss of property all of $1 1,000,000. ;
Tho rainstorm which thus brought death
and destruction to Johnstown seems to
have covcrod a widn oxpnnso of coun
try, reaching from Middle Virginia to Now
York, and from tho vicinity of Pittsburg
to tido-water. What are tho losses of
property or lifo it Is Impossible yet to esti
mate, but they must bo very largo, as
Washington alone report $1,000,000 worth
of property gone.
NEVHO EDl'CATIOX.
Tut A ri'KAl. has always held that edu
cation is ono and tho greatest means
by which the negro race I lo be emanci
pated from tho utiiowurd conditions that
luivo environed it iu tho United Stales.
Ily schooling and training in right ways
nnd right things the men and womeu of
this raco aro to tiecomo sulf-rcspccting and
in nn Industrial way independent. The
law has dona all that Is possible to it for
them. They aro tho equals of tho
men and women of tho white raco
beforo it and enjoy evory constitutional
hlcssimr. It only remains for them to
avail themselves of the now multiplied
opportunities for education, especially for
training in handicraft callinga.iind they will
In timo bo able to make themselves felt as
something more than tho mere dependents
they have been, and in tho main aro yet.
That soiiio of thuin aro making rapid
strides In this direction has been made
evident tho past two day at the com
mencement exercises of the Ie Moyno In
stitute, and in an especial seusn at tho meet
ing Inst night of tho alumni, which was held
iu the large hall of the Institute w here a lec
luro was delivered by tho LuhhlSamflcId on
Mohammedanism, which, doing full credit
to his eminent scholarship, was intelli
gently appreciated by tho nltcnlivo audi
ence, as w is evidenced by frequent and
discriminating applause. The vocal and
piano music on tho occasion was excep
tionally excellent, and the meeting was
conducted by one of the alumni,
who directed it to the clone with
grace, rami aim admirubio s ll hm-
itsion. It is only seventeen year
siuce the I-cMoyuo Institute waa ojiciied
under circumstance an) thing but encour
aging lo the principal and teachers, and
yet results have been attained with tho
crudest of crudo material, and under cir
cumstance, in iniKl rases, of home aur-
roiindiugs that were very unfavorable to
education results that are so many re
markable proola of tho eaoncity of Hie raco
for education, aud justify the lain it and
enro ol I rol. htcelo and his corns
of well-trained, faithful and patient
teacher. And this I the answer
thelaiMoyne Institute makes tothooo who
dotibl tho utility of educating tlio negro
and still more doubt their capacity for
education. There la no escape from the
rculli uiado evident by tho graduate stid
alumni of this admirably and conscien
tiously condtictiHl school, In whlchtb gov
erning thought la the mental and soul ele
vation of individuals looking to tho mental
and soul elevation of a race whoso welfare
is largely bound up w ith that of the dom
inant race, and with which It must stand
or fall,
Sox a of the newpner in Washington
that have not taken up the le'publican
bun and rry agnlnsi Mr. Poverty Tucker,
who, by the way, express- himself aa still
willing to go lo lluyll as a commisaiouer,
expnsst a doubt thai bo could bear up
ag.iint tho liiirdidiipt of the trip, csjMcially
during so hot a mouth ss this in not be Iu
the tropics, lie suiters greatly from gout,
Ibey say, sn I then bo Is In his seventieth
year. Nevertheless, bo is a vigorous lus'l
nud will be found quite equal to tho do
mauds of tho position, if it I conferred
tiMMt biin, and tln-ro ia no good reason
wbyll aiiould not. As lh' .' iim c ,S m
H-iys, Mr. Tucker had n mere prior
knowledge ol a plot toassa.ssin.iio Mr. Liu
coin than "the ghouls uf the press who
took it upon tlicins-tlvc lo and to the
Whilo llouw the iiiuiy pig- s nl rancor
and wrong which have b--n buried in
diwetved oblivion for nearly twenty livo
years; that lie never heard of John Wilkes
I'-oolh until after tlm death of I iucolu,
and th.il there could bo no stronger reply
to the Indictment against him and his
friends than was contained In the Miwerful
ad Iress lo tlio p.'jple of tho t'nile I H atea
which ho published at the time." lh sides
this "It I Stsled," SSVS Iht .Vrl )'r
I'lrninj 'tui, "ihat Mr. Tucker received a
diplomatic apiintment of a oonll leiitl.il
nature at the hands of President Hayes and
waaapoitited by President ( 1 n field as one
of the vis, lots to lbs Naval Academy al An
nnpolis. II lit. so facts can he sustained,
we see no good reason why the apioiiil
nient of Mr. Tucker aa commis-doncr to
Hayli should hu withdrawn or declared
premature. If Mr. Tucker is an Inuoeont
mnn, and rspecially ii ho has boon already
docoruted by two Kojiublican rresldenta
without question as to liis fitness, It would
bo a most cruel net to put a stigma upon
him now which ho would be obliged to
carry to the grnvo."
It will be Interesting to watch the result
of tho proposed conunisaion to Hnyti.
Nothing that tUlfcftmiiiiHuionorg might agrco
upon with that sauting Il.iylien Oovcru
lueut could be Jsnfrircc! unless our Govern
nient garrlsonod the ibland and kept a
8fp;iadn)n in tho harbor of Port-an-Princo.
And this would be for us too heavy a con
tract. It would be fur worso and mora of
a job than if we wero to attempt the civ
ilization of tho negroes in tho heart of
Africa, Voudooism bus a firm hold on
tho people of Hnyti nnd tho Obi man bas
mora power than the President of tho Re
public or any of his ministers. Chaos pro
vails socially, confusion religiously and
anarchy is supremo in tlio mountain dis
tricts. What a comuiiMiou from this coun
try could ofToct with a pcoplo thus condi
tioned it la Impossible to foreshadow, and
as to its gaining anything hko an aecurato
knowledge of affairs, that is out of tho
question. The Ilaytiens since the publi
cation of Sir Spencer SU Johns's work
bavo boon on their guard and thoy regard
ull white persons with suspicion, no mut
ter what tliolr rank or diplomatic relations
with their government. Indeed, in tho
interior, they have no respect for their
government which cannot enforce its law
if tho pcoplo aro minded to oppose them,
andany white mnn would bike bis lifo In bis
hands who should attempt to punclrato lo
nuy of tho interior districts.
lit the woll protected colony of Victoria,
which offers a romarkablo contrast of stag
nation by comparison with the unparal
leled growth of it Ireo trnde neighbor,
South Australia, it bas been found neces
sary to protect the feelings and prejudices
of "tho Chiueso cheap luhor" by not only
eliminating every aeutence of a scriptural
character from tho text books of the com
nion schools, but everything else thut
"might be ulloii.iivo to our Chineso fellow
citizens." A Mr. J. K, Kwlng, In a letter
to Thr aiuIoh SKiiiiiur, complain of this,
and ays tho weakness for the Chineso
caiiso is carriod to such length Ihat even
the following verso from Longfellow's
"Wreck of tho Hcsjierui" has lieen ex

Lanza Doiore the scrnent hna entered

pears, after Jorge goes on a iourncy, bow
marvclously Uio author describes tho difler-
cnt phases of feeling through which the
young wire passes; the first dawningsof
gratified vanity, the plausible excuses, the
specious self-reasoning, and gradual yielding
w mo seductiveness of the tempter, until at
last she owukes to tho appalling horror of
her sin, and rciillzes in tbo anguish of her
remorse the depths of hor delirious degrada
tion. In all this Ouelros shows wonder
ful keenness of analysis, particularly when
lie portrays the brutal sellbtbness and in
gratitude of Bazilio, who gcows tirod of
tlio episode, and, when tho emergency comes,
despito Luiza's tearful entreaties to take
her away rathor than remain and risk the
dreadful anger of her husbund, coolly and
cowardly takes himself oil; leaving his de
spairing victim at tho morcy of a vindictive
servant's cruelty. Juliana, tho iiiimo of tho
latter, who Is a fiend in human form, steals
compromising letters from Luiza's drawer,
and In them holds a metaphorical Damo
cles' sword over her mistress' head. Be
tween the gnnwlugs of conscience and her
fear of Juliana poor Luiza suffers a terriblu
expiation, ending only with her pitiful
death. Jorgo is a loyal, generous character,
and there is no doubt that he would have
forgiven his adored but erring wife had
the ciilininatlon of the plot put lilm to
that sevure test severe for a man of his
blood and temperament.' It is ono of tbo
contradictions of human nature, and a
problem never yet solved, that, whilo
hulza Is reveling in the Intoxication of
her affaire with Ilaillo, she is heart and
soul In lovo with her husband, and, had th
alternative been forced upon her,
even at the very hlght of her ardor
for hor lover, she would, we believe,
unhesitatingly have chosen her own
noble "Jorge." There is perhaps no better
explanation for this liicoiiiHVheiiitible mys
tery of a woman's heart than that to he
found iu tho philosophy of Miehelet's great
work "h'Amour." The "ethical p-.irposo"
"Dragon's Teeth" is well worked out and
plain to bo seen. The sorrow the reader
feels for the ginning wife should not render
him unmindful of tho deceived husband.
But for Bazilio's long delayed letter to Luiza
Vhich loll into Jorge's hands bo would prob
ably never have sin-pec ted the hideous truth.
As it was, after Juliana's sudden death, fol
lowed not long after by that of bulza, Jorgo
could only infer what no ono else knew now
but Bazilio, thut his Luiza had left him a bit
ter iegary. All the characters are excellent
portraitures. With the persuasiveness of
languor pervading the hook, and the delicate
touches of humor hero and there, De Queiros
mingles the element of cyulclsm as if to
show that though ho may write of provin
cialism yet ha is a cosuiopolllun. Order

MILITARY MATTERS, -
The dross uniform of the Montgomery
Guurds arrived Wednesday evening and
are by far the prottiost that huveever been
worn'by any military company in Mum

braided nnd trimmed iu gold and black,
shank of epnulottcs aro grnv, bordered
with small gold and black cord, and hang

red one, w hich will figure henceforth as
a prize worn by he who surpasses all rivals
in plume drills, to be bad at stated inter
vals. The first of theso drills took place last
night. It was also the first time any of
the boy had been iu their new uniforms,
nnd most of them in any uniform at all.
There were twenty-four mou la line, two
sergeants, one lieutenant and C'apt. Lynn.
This was the largest number of men ever
in lino for drill before iu tho history of tho
(iuards, and had a lino eflcct in stimulat
ing clfoit on the part of ull. A largo num
ber of the company' lrien.1 were also
present to w itness tfio initial pi u mo con
test. Under the scrutinizing, trained eyes
of the lieutenants tho men in lino stood up
bravely lor somo timo, going down
in small sections under catch commands.
Orderly K-rgeant W. W. Barnwell finally
triumphed, and was given rounds of ap
plause by liia vanquished comrades. The
plume was presented by Mr. F. Y. Ander
son, after which the evening entertain
ment closed.
The Montgomery Guards have not ret
received cither their guns or fatigue uni
forms, but have been doing somo very
elhrtivo pnictico drilling, all the same.
In this they have received tho warmest
support and encouragement of the
Merchants' Zouaves, who provided them
with guns and gave them free use of their
armory. They will be proud of the co
operation thus extended at no distant day.

filled tlio church and awaited anxiously
tho coming of tbo bridal pnrty.
Promptly to the mlnnte thoy arrived,
and tho doors wero opened wide for their

Immediately behind came tho bride
Mies Corinne Acklin Goodman, lesningon

The brido wore a handsome gown of white
China silk, eutraine, with a superb veil
hardly concealing the fresh young beauty
of her face. At the altar the groom, Mr.
John Mitchcl Richardson, accompanied by
Mr. Herbert Sarville, who came up from
Now Orleans especially for the purpose,
met tho bride and assumed the position Jjjtc
her side which is to be hi in future by A

Tlio Rev. Dr. Burford proceeded witli
the ceremony, which he read in a cleur
and Impressive manner. The queslions
of betrothal were put and answered, while
the whole beautiful scene made a strong
impression upon the audience "Dreams,
ono of Strolezkl's creations, floated from
tho organ, whilo later the strain of
Kjruli's "Last Night" fell upon apprecia
tive ears.
The ceremony over Ihe procession was
reformed and the happy young pair, with
smiling faces, walked dow n tlm aisle amid
numerous silent blessings and congratula
tions. The entire party was driven to Hie
residence of Mrs.C. A. lioodman, on Shot
