Miral>ean early desciu <1 the talent of this
extraordinary man, “who dressed like a
coxcomb, thought like a deist, and
preached like a saint.” Perceiving the
wide range of bis ahilitities, he distin
guished him as one of the most power
ful and versatile of the mcntfkf genius
who then abounded in Europe. Through
everything Talleirand preserved *tang-
froid which was inimitable. It was

So then, that whieh is necessary to
the sustenance of the rich is not so to
the poor 7 It is pretty hard to subscribe
to that doctrine, but still harder is it to
agree to let hanger end death enter the
door* of the poor and lay waste their
homes “ to raise the quality of the race
by the great process of the survival of
the fittest" Is there not something
monstrous in this suggpetiuo t.

Spanish batteries by means of his small,

and, when communicated to the erew,
was received with three hearty cheers.
The boats, commanded by the captain
