THE PRESIDENT OF THE MEXICAN 
REPUBLIC. 
Juarez is duad, and we give a portrait of his 
suooossor as President ol' Mexico. Wo should 
lie interested In knowing and keeping watch of 
men and events in our neighbor Republic, no 
mutter how confusing it is; for we believe the 
lime Is speedily coining' when this Government 
Will have occasion to establish more emphatic 
relations with this country of turmoil and rev¬ 
olution than it yet has done. The now Presi- j 
dent, Sebastian Lkkdo iie Tejada, was born 
at Jalapa, in the State of Vera Cruz, April 35, j 
1835. His early education prepared him for en¬ 
tering the Church, but having taken a dislike to ) 
the ecclesiastical profession, he wont to the city 
of Mexico and studied jurisprudence. Before 
many years ho held a high position as advocate, 
and between the years 1H55 and 1867 he held the 
position of Magistrate of the Supreme I'ourt of 
Justice. Co monpout was then President of the 
Republic, and Son or Leu no entered on his po¬ 
litical life by taking ofllcc under him. The 
Robi.es pronuuciamento occurred In 1850, and 
during the three following years Miuamon and 
the Church party ruled the Republic. Lerdo 
withdrew from politics, and gave his attention 
entirely to his profession, which brought him 
both fa > e and a handsome income. 
In 1801 he was offered a sent in tlio Cabinet un¬ 
der JUAitKZ; this lie refused, but on taking his 
place iuC'ingross lu the same year, he gave his 
powerful support to the Liberal party, and the 
most important event of the session was his cn- 
ergelic and successful opposition to the AVyke 
treaty, which was an arrangement for the pay¬ 
ment of dividends on the English debt out of 
the Customs' revenues. When the French in¬ 
vaded Mexico lie threw up ids profession and 
followed the fortunes of J UARKZ. On the north¬ 
ern front ier he did everything to keep alive the 
spiiit. of Republicanism, and on the withdrawal 
of the French army of occupation an array was 
speedily organized, well drilled, and equipped, 
which hemmed in Maximilian at Queretaro. 
When the United States Minister petitioned on 
behalf of tho fallen Emperor, Sknor Leudo, as 
Ministro de Ueladones E.vteriores, stated his be¬ 
lief that. tho death of MAXIMILIAN was neces¬ 
sary to the future welfare of tho country, inas¬ 
much as it would prevent any further insurrec¬ 
tion in his name. 
On the Government entering on its duties in 
the capitol SBNOR I.f.rdo was appointed Presi¬ 
dent of tlm Supreme Court of Justice, and Vice- 
President of the Republic. The sudden death of 
Juakkz lias elevated him to the highest position 
ho can attain In his country. Let us hope that 
he will exercise tils talents and patriotism in the 
endeavor to restore order Amongst the discon¬ 
tented factions which perplex and harass the in¬ 
dustrious portion of the community. Pronun- 
clamientos and brigandage should be put down 
with a strong hand, life and property made se¬ 
cure, railways and roads constructed.

PERSONAL GOSSIP. 
PliOF. Ciiaki.es L. Baud, a Vice-Principal of 
one of I he Now York Public) .Schools, a young 
man of culture, and an active and prominent 
member of the Liberal Club, died recently from 
the elf eels of anovordo.se of morphine, taken to 
alleviate suffering from neuralgia. The Inner 
al services were held in the meeting-house of 
the Society of Friends, among whom he had 
formed strong friendships, though not sympa¬ 
thizing altogether in their doctrines. He was 
more a positivist. ’Che Liberal Flub rooms at. 
the first meeting following his decease were 
beautifully ornamented with flowers, in Ids 
memory, and a touching eulogy was pronounced 
by Mr. D. B. Wakeman, followed by tributes 
from other members of the Ciub. Ho had at¬ 
tended the mod ing of the Club hut a woek be¬ 
fore. 
E. W. Foster, of tho Hants Guardian, Eng¬ 
land, has for many years practiced setting up his 
leaders from the case direct, without tho aid of 
copy. Ho asserts lhai the rateof “composing” 
coincides admirably with the flow iif thought; 
and that to furnish a good leader, or anything 
else, it is a great advantage to produce it from 
the head direct, ignoring the use of pen and pa¬ 
per. It would certainly be a great saving if 
every editor set up his editorials in place of 
writing them. Wo know that, whether such 
practice is adopted or not, every editor ought to 
ten practical printer. Aud every young nun 
or woman ambitious to become an editor will do 
wisely to learn how to set type well first. 
On ARLES Fkciitbr, t he rival of Edwin Booth 
as Hamlet, and the late Charles Dickens’ 
friend and protegee, is soon to arrive in New 
York city, where a theater is being rebuilt for 
him, the front of which is of artificial stono. 
elaborately ornamented with statuary of the 
same material. Why don’t Fbchter engage 
Mauvjer Neville, ihe young Hungarian actor, 
to support him V Together, they would make a 
combination rarely seen in the theatres of this 
country; and together they might elevate the 
drama to something approaching its legitimate 
dignity and usefulness as an educational agency. 
Harry Fenn, the artist, lately returned from 
a three weeks’ sojourn among the Catskills, 
wberehe has been making sketches for thebeau- 
ttful illustrated work known as “ Picturesque 
America,” arid has again left in company with 
O. B. Bitnce (who has written much of the text 
of the work above named, and of which Wm. 
■Cullen Bryant is the reputed editor) for an 
extended tour through LakosGeorge and Cham¬ 
plain. and among tho Adirondack*. There is 
enough that is picturesque in America to render 
this a most desirable addition to American libra¬ 
ries.

Science, has, according to the reports of the pro¬

the Darwinian theory, without a word of dissent. 
Ho expresses the confident hope that “the re¬ 
ligious faith which survived without a shock tho 
notion of the fixity of the earth itself, may 
equally outlast the notion of tho absolute fixity 
of tho species which inhabit if.” So wo ouino

The Foot Tennyson has a serious time getting 
away from the personal presence of his wor¬ 
shippers—so much so that a recent letter writer 
refuses to give his whereabouts! What an 
amount of sympathy must have beeu awakened 
in that letter writer, that, he should refuse to tell 
the world what lie had succeeded in discovering! 
Dr. Peters is announced its having discov¬

And the seeds Of I’loty sow ! 
There, while wo are are blost In our earthly rest. 
May tile spiritual blossoms grow ! 
Oh, a beautiful earthly home is miuo ! 
And a grateful heart l hear ! 
But Father I I pray, uh, teach us tho way 
To a heavenly mansion there. 
From our liuartli and home, oh. may we not roam, 
While these peaceful Joys remain ; 
Bui, bo. It our strifo In tho battle of life, 
A happier Homo to gain !

A REVEREND GHOST. 
BY O. 8. ADAMS. 
“I wonder what can keep Mr. Dunleath so," 
said Mrs. Redmond, looking anxiously out to¬ 
ward the forest. 
“ I hope he hasn't lost himself in tho woods,” 
said her daughter Fanny. “It is os much as 
three hours since he wont away." 
“ Yes, and hero Is supper all ready. It would 
ho too liiiil to have him lose these warm biscuit. 
Go and ask your rather if we shall wait for him." 
The Redmond family lived iti n sparsely set¬ 
tled region iti one of tho Western State*. They 
were on the nuLsklrtaof a section devoted main¬ 
ly to cutting down trees, sawing them Into logs, 
ami drawing them to the river four or live 
miles distant, there to be floated down to a lum¬ 
ber mart. What population there was in the 
neighborhood numbered not more than three 
hundred souls, and was chiefly scattered be¬ 
tween the Redmond house and tho river. West¬ 
ward lay great forests, and to the South were 
slrelehed immense prairies. 
A camp meeting was in session for the benefit 
Of the little community, and the Redmonds had 
taken under their roof the Reverend Alfred 
Dunleath, an earnest worker in tho cause of 
ins Master and an exhorter of eloquence. 
The meetings were hold mornings and ovonings, 
In a grove throe miles distant from Mr. Red¬ 
mond’s house. 
The brief conversation detailed above was 
caused by the prolonged absence of Mr. Dun- 
f.EATH, who had started off for a ramble in tho 
woods about three o'clock In the afternoon. 
As evening drew near, and he did not return, 
there was anxiety on his account, for the woods 
were deep and thick, and it. was no very rare 
thing for u bear or a catamount to prowl among 
thorn, making the place unsafe for any one but 
a well-armed, steady-nerved man. 
Mr. Redmond, on botug spoken to by his 
daughter on I lie subject, turned to his man-of- 
all-work, a burly negro, who stood near— 
“Sam," he said, “Just run up in tho odgo of 
the woods yonder and see if you can see any¬ 
thing of Mr. Dunleath. Call him if ho isn't in 
sight." 
“Golly! Boss, dis chile ain’t ready to be hug¬ 
ged to dof liy no bar yit! I don’t think its 
scarcely safe to venture too fur into dose yer 
woods.” 
“There's no danger of your meeting any bear, 
and if you should he would run at the eight of 
you. Go ulong." 
“Ha! ha! You’segot it on to mo dis time. 
Run at do sight of me, would he; well, I’se 
mighty sure I’d run at de sight o’ him !" 
And Sam strode off in the direction Indicated, 
waiting only to step Into the burn to shoulder 
his rifle. He was really no coward so far as any 
physical danger was concerned, although he 
was superstitious, and would flee from a. ghost 
with fur more promptness and celerity than 
from a grizzly. 
Mr. Redmond and Fanny returned to the 
house, and tho supper was kept waiting until 
Sam should return. In the course of twenty 
minutes ho appeared, bringing, however, no 
tidings of Mr. Dunleath. 
“ I shouldn't think he would go off with any 
of the neighbors without lotting us know,” said 
Mrs. Redmond. 
“ No, it wouldn't bo like him,” said Fanny. 
“Well, we'd better eat supper and be off to 
the meeting,” said Mr. Redmond. “ i'll inquire 
as soon as wo get there, and if no one knows 
anything about him 1 will get, three or four to 
join me in a search for him. It he has lost his 
way he may he in a dangerous situation." 
In the evening the family repaired to the 
camp meeting grove, three miles distant, leav¬ 
ing SAM in charge of the house. The grove was 
provided with rough seats, and dimly illumina¬ 
ted by a few hanging lamps. 
Mr. Redmond made Inquiries concerning Mr. 
Dcnleath, but without eliciting any informa¬ 
tion. He was about to organize a small party 
to start out on a search, when a hoy appeared 
in tho assemblage beating a message. It w s 
addressed to Mr. Redmond. On opening it he 
rend the following:
