There was quite an excitement the
House of Lords whea the Marquis of Salis
bury pronounced Lorfc Derby's statement
untrue that there was a' secret expedition
to capture Cyprus. Beaconsfield de-i
clared that England did not fear war with
any nation, nor did she seek war; he was
loudly cheered repeatedly; the v- papers
generally comment favorably on hia state
ment. . The British sailors detained
by Rrtssiau-troops have returned to the

The Philadelphia Times says that
Oliver ? P. Bald win's most popular
Work was "Flush Times in Alabama.''
This is a mistake. That very amu

think, and his name was John G.
Baldwin, afterwards a J udge, : He
wrote also a capital book called "Par

authorship . f'slightly mixed," but

-1; j
it
VOL. XXII. NO.:102.
To, our surprise we find ourselves
mistaken in Ihe lalo O. P. Baldwin's
natiyity. He was bom in New York
city in 1813. He. jSrst entered the'
U. s. Navy, but on account of de
fective vision had to ; abandon that
calling. He married Miss. Sheffey,1
of Virginia, whose father, .Daniel
Sheffey, -was an M. C. He t went to
Virginia when a very young man.
He died of Bright'a disease. The
Baltimore Sun, of which he was the
leading editor since 1867, pays him a
fitting tribute. We
copy a few
points: . '? - f
"After the death of John i Hamntlen
Pleasants, editor of the Richmond Whig, in
a duel with Mr. Thomas Ritchie, Jr., of the
Enquirer, Mr. Baldwin was editorially con
nected with the Whig until the appointment
of .Mr. Richard H." Toler. While on the
THAig the editorials of Mr. Baldwin attract
ed so much attention that he was induced
to remain permanently in Richmond, and
accepiea an eaitoriai position on the Hepub-
Ucan, published by Mr. John a
Gallagher.
'Mr: Baldwin was always
zealous
member of the Whiff party until its disor
ganization during the war, when he advo
catea Conservative doctrines as being the
most desirable in the interest of the South.
Before the war he was twice elected to the
Virginia Senate from Richmond city, his
second election being without opposition,
and he was the last Whig Senator elected
from that city. He was a well known and
eloquent political, speaker of the Whig
party, in many of the campaigns in Vir
ginia. Mr. Baldwin was also celebrated
as a bumorou lecturer, as well for his pol
ished wit as the beauty and force of his
diction, and : for many years, up to the
beginning of the! war, delivered a series of
lectures each season. Since the close of
the war he has delivered a few lectures.
Several years ago he lectured twice in
Richmond, Va.j under the auspices of the
Yovng Men's 1 Chrisliau Association, and
once at .Randolph Macon Uolleee. For
many years he has been a member of the
Protestant Episcopal Church."
Hard times have had one good
effect they have .caused the hotels
throughout the . country to j reduce
their, rates. During the war they
went up to almost fabulous pricofl,
and although after peace everything
else began to decline, including
American character, the hotels never
found out that there was no war du
ring the ten years that followed. It
is only recently thai some of the fine
hotels made the discovery that peace
prices prevailed. Now yon can get
for fifty cents a room in a j first-rate
hotel in New York and take your
"bacon and greens" at a near restau
rant. 1 i- i

pied jy Mr.M.W O'Brian as a grocery and

failing to arouse any one, he got a piece of
timber lying near by, and with it broke one
of the doors open, when he discovered that
the flames were located , in a corner of the
store next to Nutt street. Ha made his way
through the dense smoke to the upper story,
where he found Mn O'Brien, the propriej
tor, nearly suffocated, and succeeded in
eretlinsr him out. ' In the meantime' the
