Taylor recently sold the last of

Inter still hid an agent out in the

notes due him. Notwithstand'ng
the fact that Taylor has failed to
converso with Fmukfo't by long

he is thoroughly familiar with the
situation at tho capital. This infor-

ct nvuyed to him by his political
friend, County Judge James, who
arrived at Morgantown le-t night
from Frankfort.

Nothing could excell the ex

Victoria in sending a message of
condolence to tbe widow of G3n
eral Joubert. It Is an epoch-
makiDg event. In recent years,
when the English throne was im
perilled by disgraceful scandal,
the pplerdid motto, ' Noblesse
oblige," ceased to be associated
with royalty or nobility; but her
Majesty has shown that noble
couduct is still expected of those
who hold themselves as nobles,
she cannot lead her troops, as
did B adicea, but, likeE izibeth,
she is a soldier in all but deed.
She- has a soldier's heart.
Wuen war occupied the place
that is now conceded to com
merc , it was the kingly prero
gative to lead the army upon
which depended the maintenance
of the throne. The king who
wrested the E'iglish crown from
the Sixons knew how to hold i1;
but those days were popularly
believed to have ended with Na
poleon at Waterloo. No longer.

I1 is almost invidious to refer
in the same article to Lord Rob
ens' letter of sympathy, written
to President Kruger. It may be
open to misunderstanding, but as
an evid 'noe of the rapidly chang
ing conditions of modern warfare
it is, from every view point, re
markable. Consider for a mo
ment how changed are the condi
tions between opposing leaders
in those days when men are
siaugh'elea wit ti lyauiiana sub
marine torpedoes. What would
have been tbe sentiment of tbe
people of the North if President
ncoln had sent a message of
condolenco to tbe widow of
Stonewall Jackson i1 He would
have been denounced and never
forgiven. After the war was end
ed in Federal triumph a few no
ble-hearted Northern men like
Greeley and Vanderbilt were ex
ecrated because they signed a
bail bond to keep an old and de
feated man out of a martyr's
prison,
Let us suppose General Hooker
to have sent a dispatch from
Chancellorsville to President Da

of General Jackson? He would
havo been tried for treason by a

hanged.
Therefore, it is not a mere
platitude to say that the courta

would have astonished the people
of the last generation
