7 ENGLAND'S MARVELLOUS MAN.
j We do not exactly understand -why
any "American who is true to republican
I principles and believes in real progress
I as well as in humanity and justice and
the freedom of man, should oppose Irish
, Home Rule and particularly dislike Mr.
Gladstone. There has been' no really
'i greater political figure in" the march of
the centuries. He has done - more to
f emancipate British serfdom and enlarge
1 the rights of mankind than any man of
I his country. Heis not only a pure,
noble statesman and sincere Christian,
j but he is intellectually a most wonder
f ful man, who is to-day as great an as
i tonishment to the British mind as any
! man who has figured in the brilliant an
1 nals of the great English race, Even now
i the opposition speakers, review writers
and editors are perplexed to understand
this marvellous man of intellectual
vigor and might now nearing his eighty
f; fourth year. - His powers of toil, his
i: indefatigable industry, his wide range
j of accomplishments, learning and ex
perience, coupled with an oratory tbat
has no rival now and has had none in
more than half a century make him
n-rwini wnnfWfiil. lie is the most
remarkable figure in j British po
litical history take him all and in all.
We will copy elsewhere an extract
from a recent article in London Punch
written by Mr. II. W. Lucy under the
if i?oM.nfn nf Parliament." It
viiiv va. jdvuvw ' -
sets forth ' truthfully but amusingly
one day's labor of the Grand Old Man-The-world
will indeed be very much'
poorer when William E. Gladstone
dies. The great surprise beyond seas
is how he can so completely dominate
his discordant party, hold them to
gether, and increase his power over the
great British masses. A writer in the
London Economist has essayed to ac
count for this most extraordinary -fact.
His Cabinet is very strong and yet he
is supreme. The N. Y. Evening Post,
in an editorial filling one; and three
quarter columns, discusses Gladstone
with much interest. It jsays of his
complete supremacy in his own Cabi
net that his "colleagues, it must be re
membered, number such (men as Sir
William Harcourt, Lord Rosebery,
Lord Spencer, Lord Acton, Lord Her
schel, Lord Kimberley, Mr. Mundella,
Mr. Campbell Bannermau, Mr. Fowler,
Mr. John Morley, Mr. James Bryce,
and several others of long and good
standing in public life, of j great weight
with the country, and remarkable in
tellectual acumen. They could not be
reduced to this tame acquiescence in all
the dicta of their chief by the mere fact
that he was very popular with the
working classes, and flattered tlyjee
classes by his deferential treatment of
their opinions. " j -
Recently Mr. Gladstone has both elec
trified Parliament and astonished the
country at large. His speeches amaze
the opposition leaders. I We quoted
Lord Randolph Churchill's enforced
tribute to the astounding fascination of
Gladstone's oratory when he rose to
make a very vain attempt ; at reply.
Lord Randolph said it .was an "entranc
ing speech," and so it was, the Tories
being the judges. No man in recent
times has had a voice comparable to the
wonderful instrument of vocalization
with which God has endowed this
splendid Victorian statesman and orator,
But there is a far more memorable
tribute to Gladstone's extraordinary
powers than that of Lord. Churchill
Mr. Leonard Courtney has ia paper in
the last Nineteenth Century English Re
view. He bears testimony in a marked
manner to the powers of exposition and
persuasion of the Liberal leader. The
Evening Post says of Mr. Courtney that
I he is "well known as an economist, and
i a chairman of committees in the last
f Parliament, a place which he was uni
Sversally acknowledged to have fillet
better than it had ever been filled be
fore. He was one of the members of
the late Monetary Commission, which
-1. 1.11'. . r
reporieu against, uimeiaiusm. tie is a
Liberal-Unionist who deserted Mr.
Gladstone on the home rule question,
and undoubtedly the clearest and per
haps coldest thinker of the lot, and the
least likely to be led astray and charmed
.by mere rhetoric." So he would hardly
be canned away by an old man of nearly
eighty-four speaking upon a dry fimm-
cial question. Let us say, before iquot
ing from him, that Mr. Gladstqne is the
one British statesman since the Youmrer
Pitt, who can make an .entertaining,
ieven enthralling, speech upon financial
questions. He has often done this. He
recently did this and Mr. Courtney ac
knowledges it, while strongly combat
ing his position. We now copy an ex
ract taken from the English Review
named which we find in the Evening
st. Said Mr. Courtney:
I "Those who were privileged to hear
lr. Gladstone's speech three weeks
since on the subject of the resumption
$f the Brussels . Conference copied in
arge part in the Ecening Pbst of March
1 must have been charmed with its
play aad power. As a debating achieve
ment it was miraculous. The youngest
ijaiglit have envied its vivacity, and
. tfiose who were subjected its badinage
Blight have forgiven its satire in their
admiration of the skill of the artist. The
ftrm of the speech was well-nigh per
fect." i
I The comment of the New York pa
pp is well worth copying. It says that
Tpratory must be an instrument of tre
mendous force to make the impression
wmen jur. triaustone mases; on
an au-
djence on the whole
so
critical and
unimpressionableas what is called
"the educated" in England, which Mr.
Gladstone invariably addresses and
largely dominates, for even his oppo
nents have to resist violently- and call
i
8
fotielp in order not to be carried ,Oii
captives by him."
But Mr. Gladstone is not merely a
debater like Charles James Fox was, or
an orator of commanding force and
fascination, with an organ-like voice of
singular attraction and power, lie is
a great statesman, a man of vast read
ing who has assimilated his knowledge.
He is a writer upon a vast range of
subjects who always interests and
draws men to him. His laboriousness
is unexampled almost. We must draw
upon the able New York paper for an
instructive-paragraph. It says:
' ' When the Economist remarks, en-passant
as it were, "that he carried out
with singularly ability the work of free
trade initiated through Sir Robert Peel,'
it virtually calls attention to the fact
that Mr. Gladstone framed and carried
through the most important series of
legislative acts in English, history,
which have litarally resulted in the
transformation of the country and the
creation of a new England, which Peel
himself ,. would hardly recognize. In
other words, he has been the author of
the most beneficent and in its effects
most far reaching of modern revolu
tions, Not -less remarkable was bis
abolition of those two most flagrant
abuses, the Irish Church establishment
and the system of purchase in the army.
The monstrosity of both of them had
been since Pitt's day . freely acknowl
edged by every Liberal statesman. They
were rooted in some of the deepest and
oldest prejudices of En'glish society, apd
had grown into vested interests of im
mense size and strength. But when
the time came, he tackled them -with
remorseless courage, energy and skill."
When this noble statesman, this de
vout believer in the Lord Jesus Christ,
this ornament to the Established Church
of England, this greatest of English
statesmen, this foremost of political re
formers, this most entrancing of orators,
this master of assemblies, this friend of
the toiling, suffering masses, this high
est expression of British ability, de
votion to duty and right and 'justice,
this man of large soul, g'enerous im
pulses, manifold virtues passes beyond
the flood and that imperial mind ceases
to operate for the uplifting of humanity,
then the world will have indeed lost its
noblest treasure. Behind his most use
ful and commanding life are "forty
years of achievement in legislation such
as no other English statesman has to
show." .
HENRY E. SHEPHERD, LL. D.
While we have a warm admiration
and the kindest personal friendship for
Henry E. Shepherd, LL. D., President
of the College of Charleston, S. C., we
have not known many of the particu
lars of his life. From a sketch in the
Illustrated American for April. 1893,
we get some facts concerning this emi4
nent North Carolina scholar whom we
regard as facile princeps among the
men of letters of this State, past and
present. We mentioned that Dr. Shep
herd had been appointed on the Coun
cil of Historical Literature for the
World's Columbian Exposition. The
Illustrated American has verv hish
praise for him and says that he "is
probably the most progressive, as also
the first, English scholar of America."
We like that. It says farther: "Dr.
Shepherd has earned for himself, by
nis great literary attainments, a name
alike honored in this country and Eu
rope, where genius such as his is al
ways accorded a hearty welcome."
It refers to the great destinction paid
him by the University of Oxford, Eng
land, to which the Messenger has al
ready referred. At the close of the in
traduction to the great "Historical Die
nonary or tne Hingusn language, " now
being issued by the Clarendon Press, at
Oxford, special mention is made in
most laudatory terms to an article writ
ten by him, at the request of Dr. Basil
Gildersleeve, for the American Journal
rf Philology, and published in the Oc
tober number of that magazine in 1880
Students of English in every part of the
world are advised by the editors of the
English dictionary to consult this'article
which is so conspicuously called to then-
attention. It consists merely of the
tnstory of two words, "Coincide" and
"Coincidence," traced through a period
extending over six hundred years that
is, from mediaeval Latin into English,
through all their mutations and vicissi
tudes. , ; -
ow for a few biographical data. He
was born at Fayette ville, N. C, in 1844
He early volunteered in war times, en
tering at seventeen. He was almost
mortally wounded at the battle of Get
tysburg, July 3, 1863, but, recovering,
was made Captain. ; Being too yoiin
to accept the commission he served as a
non-commissioned officer to the end of
the war. -
Dr. fehepherd was educated at the
University of Virginia, and had an es
pecially high rank in literature and the
languages. His professional life began
in Baltimore soon after the close of the
wafand he made his home there until
the end of the year 1882, at which time
he assumed the presidency of the Col
lege of Charleston, S, C. He was en
gaged in many important academic
trusts in Baltimore, and was Superin
tendent of Public Instruction from 1875
until 1882. .
Dr. Shepherd has - published three
volumes, is a very eminent and gifted
lecturer upon literature, never writing
his lectures, but speaking with the ut
most facility and using the choicest,
most scholarly, most precise diction.
He is also a volumincois contributor to
leading Northern and Southern literary
anejmilological journals. We lately re
ferred to his excellent paper in the
Sewanee Quarterly the able, scholarly
magazine published at the Episcopal
University of the South. The Illus
trated American says that his "work
has been time and again recognized in
Europe and in the amplest and most
generous way. He has been a lecturer
in English in nearly every part of the
country North and South having spo
ken in that capacity to classes of college
presidents and professors at least five
hundred times." The first time we
heard the Doctor lecture we thought he
was of course speaking memoriter!, al
though he had not a note before him.
His English was so elegant and his flu-1
ency se perfect that it never occurred
to us that he was merely doing as was
his wont extemporising. North Caro
lina may well be proud of such a scholar
and such a Christian gentleman. .
THE ECLIPSE OP THE SUN.
The observations of the sun made at
the Chilian observatory on Sunday is
reported in the New York Herald to
have been a splendid success. Profes
sor W; H.. Pickering, an American as
tronomer, made the observations and
reports results in the Herald of Monday.
Photography was freely used. The ob
servations were taken from the Andes
mountains at the Harvard College sta
tion on Hina Ari.. All the phases of
the sun were clearly seen, there being
no clouds orlhaze to disturb the observ
ers. Fine photographs of the .corona
were taken. It was found that the sun
was disturbed and there were bright
torchlight streaks on the face of- the
great orb. Professor Pickering cables
of the disturbances:
"To be more explicit the outer corona
was unusually extended and much lar
ger than in 1878 or 1889, as was to have
been expected during the present ieriod
of increasing solar activity. The eclipse
observations showed conclusively that
the sun is now far from being quiescent,
but is in a state of great disturbance.
There were very distinct evidences of
great spottedness and the present" of
acnlae or bright torch like streaks. JThe
color of the corona was rather whitish
than red and of a pale or pearly white
hue."
A FIND OF EXTRAORDINARY IN
TEREST. That is certainly a very great find
that is announced by cable to have oc
curred in the convent at Mount Sinai.
It is the discovery of the manuscript of
the earliest Syrian Version of the New
Testament. Biblical scholars will at
once apprehend the great importance of
this discovery. The Syriac Versions
heretofore have been very important
but here is one still older and, therefore,
more precious and important. It was
at this very convent that the eminent
Russian biblical scholar Tischendoff dis
covered the oldest and most important
of Codices of the Bible, unless the Codex
Vaticanus is as bid and as perfect. It
is known among scholars as the Codex
Sanaiticus. We learn from the Phila
delphia Record that this latest dis
covery is substantially complete,
whereas later Syriac versions were f rrg
mentary. The Record adds this inter
esting bit of news that "the discovery
was made by two ladies furnishes evi
dence of the patience and acumen of the
sex in Biblical research. There is also
reason for national -and local pride in
the circumstance that Professor Harris,
who instructed the ladies in certain de
tails of their research, and has since
helped them to decipher the manuscript,
was formerly located at the Johns Hop
kins University.?' .

Post on "How to i raise revenue." He
asks shall it be by land tax or by in

resort to "direct taxation" as a positive
necessity in order to raise the needed

picked men from Ulster. Selected cap-;

at which he sat. Hardly left him time
to reply. Having politely conducted
Ulster to door, enter the' .city fathers,
fresn and eager for the fray. Told him
