.Aigiers.-The French have conquered kingdom as large as Spain, with as fine cli- mate, and commanding the entrance to that land ot terrors and treasures, the central re- zion of Africa. They are going on c La Fran cafse in all points. They have compelled the Moores to clean their streets, and do not de- spair of making them wash their shirts and faces in time. They have rur up central avenue throug Algiers, and ventilated the town. They have slain the mongrels that n- tested the streets, and reduced an establish ment ot dunghills as venerable 9s Mahomet.
 They have built an opera-house, ordering the wealthy Moores to put down their names On the box-list, and subscribe as becomes pat rons of the fine arts. They have arranged circle of private boxes in the theatre, to which the ladies' of the several Harems have keys, and where they listen to Italian songs, learn to be delighted with the romantic loves of Europe, and turn over leaf in human nature which no Algerne Houri ever turned before. A detachment of dancing g-masters has been brigaded for the service, and modistes ssfrom Paris" are rapidly opening shops in the stGrand Rue Royale." The ladies are, as might be expected, in raptures with the change, and go cut shopping with the air of an eiegante of the Foxborough St. Germain. Galignani daily communicates to the Alpe- rine coffee-house the news of world of which they hitherto knew no more than of the news of the dog star. All is gaiety, pes- tculation, and the march of intellect. If a great three-tailed bashaw feels disposed to express the slightest dislike of the new re- eime, they order him to be shaved, lispos- sess him of his turban, pipe, and scymetar, and sehd him to learn the manual exercise under one of their sergeants. The remedy is infallible. In twelve hours revolution is effected in all his opinions he learns the French art of locking delighted under all cir cumstances, and returns from the drill a changed man. The offending Mauritanian is disciplined out of him, and the parade has inducted him into the march of mind for the rest of his days. The French are distillinr brandy from sea weed; are teaching buffa- loes to draw their cabriolets, have already formed subscription pack of tiger hounds: and, except that they are scorched to cin- der, with the more serious, evils that they must wait week for the Paris news, and have not yet been able to prevail on Potter and Mademoiselle Du Fay to join their thea tre, are as happy as sultans. s.-Engiish haher.

WASHINGTON, April 12, 1891.
 Dear Sir:Your letter resigning the office of Sec retary of State received last evening. I could ndsed wish that no circumstance had arisen to in- errupt the relations which have for two years sub subsided between us, and that they might have con tinued through the period during which it may be my lot to remain charged with the duties which the partiality ofny countrymen has imposed upon me. But the reasons you present so strong that with proper regard for them cannot ask you, on my own account, to remain in the Cabinet
 am aware of the difficulties you have had to con. tend with and of the benefits which have resulted to the affairs your country from your continued zeal in the ardnous tasks to which you have been subject ed. To say that deeply regret to lose you, is bu, feeby to express my feelings on the occasion
 When called by my country to the station which occupy, 1t was not without deep sense of its ardu ous responsibilities, and a strong dstrust of myself that obeyed the call but cheered by the conscious ness that no other motive actnated me- than desire to guard her interests and place her upon the firm ground of those great principles which, by the wises and pures of our patriots, have been deemed essen tal to her prosperity, yentured upon the trust as signed me. did this in the confident hone of find ing the support of advisers, able and true who lay ing aside every thing but desire to give new yigo to the vital principles of our union would look witt single eye to the best of efectnp this nara mount object. In you. this hope has been realized to the utmost. In the most difficult and trying mo ments of my administration, have always fount you sincere, able and eficent-anxious at all time to afford me every aid. If however, from circum stances in your judgement sufficient to make it ne cessary the official ties subsisting between us mus be severed, can only say that this necessity is deep

will take place this afternoon at 5 O'Clock.

without Offering our humble tribute OF respect to
the memory Of the deceased. No man knew
EDWARD SrABLER who did not admire the VII
tues of his heart, the purity of his life and con-
duct, and the sterling integrity ct his principles.
To an extensive circle of friends he was endeared
by every tie which could consecrate the social
relations of life, and his numerous acquaintance
throughout the country will unite in the sympa-
thy ielt and expressed at the place OF his resi-
dence. He was, in deed and IN truth, true
christian, kind and afiectionate father, good
citizen. an honest man. His understanding and
the powers of his mind were invariably directed
in tartherauce of the happiness of his fellow men,
and his philanthropy was of the best stamp, fol
it was genuine and practical. His loss will be
sen,iby felt. and his death long lamente,.-
These remarks, brief and imperfect as they are,
NAV suffice for an expression of oar own feelings,
le ayins it for another hand to pourtray charac-
ter which deserves to be deliaeated as an EXAM
