set speech on tho Arkansas Bill. It was in the highly
adorned style of the West, which was all the more con-
spicuous from the tone in which it was delivered, never
varying, being rapidly uttered in a monotonous key by an
orator whose action may be guessed, his hands being the
whole time in his pockets.

Speaker Colfax is only sixteen years younger than
his mother.

Lieutenant-Colonel J. Madison Cutts, who was
dismissed the service during the war for peeping into a
lady's room at the Burnett House, Cincinnati, while she
was undressing, but who was subsequently restored
through the influence of his friends, has just been tried by
court-martial a second time, and dismissed the service for
drunkenness on duty and general disgraceful conduct at
his camp in Louisiana.

Among the distinguished Americans who have
arrived, or who are about to visit our shores, is Mr.
Leonard W;Jerome, to whom New Yorkers owe the estab-
lishment of Jerome Pqrk, and who takes so conspicuous a
place,in American sports, both on the water and in the
racing field. The poet Longfellow has also arrived—
whose poems aro familiar in England as "Household
Words."

It is rumoured in America that. in July Lord
Mayo will succeed Lord Monck as Governor-General of
the Dominion. The three bills reserved by Lord Monck,
when the Parliament was prorogued, for her Majesty's
signature, ware the Extradition Treaty between Canada
and the United States, the Divorce Bill, and that fixing
the Governor-General's salary.
The Massachusetts Senate has not only passed
the bill appropriating $75,090 to Professor Agassiz's
Museum, but, moved
motion
a strong spirit of scientific in-
quiry, voted, on the of Mr. Bowerman, a similar,
though unsolicited, contribution to Williams College.
The United States Senate, on Thursday, May
28, confirmed the following nominations :—A. Hunan,
Attorney for Idaho; Homer G. Plants, Attorney for the
Southern District of Florida ; W. W. Thatcher, Assessor
of Internal Revenue for Eighth District of Tennessee ; A.
IC. Osborne, Collector of Internal Revenue for the Fifth

B. Hubbell, Collector of Internal Revenue for Montana;
Solomon P. M'Curdy, Associate Justice of the Suprems
I Court of Utah, and Lieut. Frank Burr as Captain in the
Reveue Service.
Lord Elcho has had the misfortune to be at-
tacked by the Spectator, and the still greater misfortune to
have been defended by the Standard. Whenever "Betsy"
wants to point a moral or adorn a tale, she casts her eyes on
America. T heSpsctator is acting towards Lord Elcho asT had.
Stevens and Horace Greeley towards the few Republican
Senators who could not agree with them, "that the sanc-
tity of an oath is absurd cant—that is, rattening them, and
turning them out of the party"—so says "Betsy," who is
only worth quoting from the peculiar light in which she
sees through her spectacles. We wonder whether the
object she describes is the object we see, or some-
thing else. "That house," says "Betsy," is built in'
a bog ; what folly to erect the building on such
a foundation." "Why, Betsy," we reply, "that house 13
on the upland of a well-drained park, what better spot
could be found for the structure ?" "It is not," screams
Betsy. "I see the quagmire all round. This is the spot
for a house." " But, Betsy, that is a bog, and to get a
foundation you must travel through a heap of dirt." The
astonishment is that the old thing should be the spokes-
woman of so large an English crowd, and it • only shows
what a heap of old women there are in the island of all
ages and sexes. Betsy's little fling at the United States
Senate might well be passed in contempt if it we re not
that she speaks the sentiments of this numerous body.
The Iron Age says :—" The R utile fibre is be-
ginning to become an article of commerce in New Orleans;
and one merchant of that city has received orders for it
from New York, and offers double the market rate of
cotton for all he can obtain. A demand for the fibre is
also springing up in the West, but no definite orders for it
from that section have yet been received at New Orleans.
Regarding the merits of Ramie, it is eakithat it is as good
as linen, cambric, or silk, and when it comes into use the
wearer will find that the 'chief, difficulty will be that it
will not wear out when the fashion changes, and he will
hate to throw it away, when, after a couple of years' wear,
it is still as good as new."
Of the working force in the Colt armoury at
Hartford, Connecticut, 400 hands are constantly at work
on the 30,000 Berdan rifles ordered by the Russian Govern-
ment.
The Pall-Mall Gazette recently stated that an
emigrant who tried Canada would never dream of crossing
the border into the United States. Confounding in a heap
the Eastern and Western States, it asserted that the bad
spirit in which the new-comers were met by the working
classes in the Republic was in striking contrast to the wel-
come extended to them in the Dominion. Can the Pall--
Mall explain how it came to pass that three hundred and
fifty young Canadians passed through Montreal on Thurs-
day, 7th- May, on their way to the States to find employ-
ment and homes?
IMPEACHIIENT OF THE PRESS.—The following
Republican journals sustain the Republican Senators who,
voted against impeachment:—" New York Evening Post,'
"Chicago Tribune," "Cincinnati Commercial," "
deuce Journal," "Springfield Republican," "Bridgeport
Standard," "Buffalo Advertiser," "Buffalo Express,
"Hartford Courant," "Baltimore American," " Pittsbur
Commercial," " Nashville Press," "New Haven Palladium?
" Toledo Commercial," "Milwaukie Sentinel," "Madison
Journal," " Troy Whig," " Cincinnati Times," "Boston Ad"
vertiser," " Cleveland Times" "Bagmen's Journal," "Pitts;
burg Chronicle," "Boston Journal," "New Haven Journal,
"New Bedford Mercury," "Warren Mail," "Lyons
Mirror," "New York Nation." In view of this array in
journals, Forney's " Press" 'and Greeley's " Tribune at-
tempt to read out from the report and party all the above"/
named journals as well as the Senators who voted against
impeachment. How very ridiculous.
