GENERAL GRAHAM'S recent battle
with Osman Digna in Soudan was a most
desperate encounter. The Arabs , as
usual , fought with the most determined
and fanatical bravery , penetrating the
English squares time and again. The
Conservative wing of the nation , con
sider the battle practically an English
defeat , and demand Graham's recall.
WHILE the people with bowed heads
await the bulletins announcing the sad
particulars of the last hours of the man
who closed the war and restored an un
divided country to allegiance to the
stars and stripes , they doubtless feel re
signed to the prospect of a speedy ter
mination of the Bufferings of the old
hero. The hardest thing to bear has
been the anticipation of months of pain
and bootless torture. State Journal.
THE Wilmington Star says : "Gen.
Wolsely , who is now attracting much
attention in Egypt , where he is super
intending operations against the Mahdi ,
passed several days in Washington dur
ing the latter part of the war. He
came here from Richmond , having spent
some time in visiting General Lee and
inspecting the army of Northern Vir
ginia. He was accompanied by Mr.
James Colony , a member of parliament ,
and another gentlemen. He went from
here toward Charleston. "
FRANCE has been enjoying to the top
of her bent the rough handling that
England is receiving in the Soudan but
since the licking she recently got in
China at the place called "Dong Dang"
she will fuel more charitably inclined.
The Celestials and the Arabs have
spunked up to the Franks and Saxons
and are making a fight that astonishes
Europe and may serve as a warning
that when the modern methods and
arms of war has been mastered by their
cousins in Asia and Africa , one soldier
maybe pretty nearly as good as another ,
and the robbery of the east by the west
will have to come to an end. Journal.
FERRY and his ministry went out like
a flash on Monday. The chamber , how
ever , hadn't the sense to follow up the
resignation of the ministry with a res.o-
tion for the immediate discontinuance
of the foolish war against China. On
the contrary , they played squarely iuto
the hands of Herr von Bismarck , by
voting for a declaration of war , an ad
ditional army of 50,000 men and an
immediate attack upon Pekin. They
are simply laying up wratch and ham
stringing France so far as her political
influence in European affairs is con
cerned. They had much better save
their money and men for some more
useful purpose than the invasion of
China. Journal.
THE State Journal contains the fol
lowing squib , showing the wonderful ef
fects of the recently discovered anaes
thetic , cocoaine :
A surgeon in New York has per
formed an operation within the last few
days that brings out in bold relief the
value of the new anjesthetic , cocoaine.
A young lady had a club foot to be op
erated upon , and it was necessary in or
der to straighten it to make several
deep longitudinal incisions in the sole
where the nerves are in the greatest
abundance. The doctor merely made a
hypodermic injection of the cocoaine in
the foot and then proceeded to carve it
without the least inconvenience to the
patient. She smiled under the opera
tion and said that it was like seeing
some other person's foot cut. This ex
periment demonstrates that the new
anaesthetic is one of the great medical
discoveries of the age , and will proba
bly at no distant day take the place of
chloroform and ether in the most surgi
cal operations.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
One of the peculiar characteristics o :
our new President finds opportunity for
display every day in the week , am
about every hour in the day. This is
to find out what people naturally ex
pcct the administration is going to do ,
and then do as nearly the opposite o :
that expectation as possible. It has
been known hero for a good while that
the President and his family were in
clined to a belief in that good old Pres
byterian doctrine that embraced infan
damnation , and which was such a com
fort to the old lady -who congratulatee
herself upon the mighty small number
that would comprise the elect. The
New York Ave. Presbyterian church ,
being the most fashionable of those gov
erned by deacons , naturally expecte (
that the President would choose that
house as the one best suited to admin
ister his Sunday's spiritual food , and so
the church on each Sunday since the in
auguration has been crowded as it never
was crowded before , by an expectant
throng anxious to see Grover under fire
of a Washington preacher charged with
a brimstone sermon. The President ,
however , disappointed everybody , not
only by not going to church at all , but
by sending his family household to Dr.
Sunderland's church , which for some
time has been steadily declining towan
final disolution. Of course the pres
ence of the Presidential family here
will revive matters there materially ,
just as the Christian Church was put
upon its legs by the accession of Mr.
Garfield four years ago.
The nomination and immediate anc
unanimous confirmation of Mr. George
H. Pendleton as Minister to Germany ,
is the administering of a most gratefu
and soothing balm for the soreness that
Gentleman George experienced in his
late defeat for the Senate by the Stand
ard Oil Company. As the successor
to Mr. Kasson it is hard to say from
this standpoint -whether Mr. Pendleton
will please that large portion of the
American people who have no love for
any sort of aristocracy , and who will ex
pect him to keep aloof from the Berlin
courtiers. 1 believe , however , that
may hazard the opinion that Minister
Pendleton will acquit himself to the
satisfaction of Mr. Bayard , and that is
more than can be said of some of his
predecessors.
In the general cleaning out of the
official rubbish that has gathered in the
several departments of the Government ,
we are felicitated upon the abolition of
the laudaulette and coupe attachments ,
without which it seemed impossible for
past administrations to get along. Mr.
Lamar , in the Interior Department , and
Mr. Garland , in the Department of Jus
tice , have ordered the horses and equip
ages attached to those branches to be
sold to the highest bidder , and the offi
cial who cannot ride in a street car to
attend to his duties or to make social
calls , can pay for his own livery or go
on foot. This is evidently an adminis
tration that proposes to ignore coats-of-
arnis and the other insignia of adorned
snobbery. DOM PEDRO.
