all parties than is the present administration.
But you will observe that they are saddled
with that gentleman for four years, and with
his Ministers, if he chooses to keep them" 1t
would not be difficult to pick flaws in the
noble Earls argument but it certainly has
force.
Alter an interrcgnum of ten days-davs Of
considerable anxiety and of many hopeless
progressive are again provided with a Min
istry. The papers of this morning inform
us, that at IA Privy Council held yesterday
Lords Palmerston, Granville and Panmure
were sworn into their respective Offices, and
"kissed hands" with the Queen on being in
vested with the seals. Many members of the
old Cabinet remain only Lords Aberdeen
Newcastle and John Russell retire. Pamers-
Ton becomes Prime Minister, Sidney Herbert,
formerly Secretary at War, takes the Home
department, vacated by Palmcrston, Lord
Granville becomes President of the Council
in room OF Lord John Russell, Lord Panmure
becomes Secretary for War-an Office which
he formerly held in Lord John Russell Min
istry. There is to be no Secretary at War,
but Mr.. Layard, "the Member for Nineveh, -
as he is called, will act as under-Secretary
Lord Cranworth as Lord Chancellor, Mr..
Gladstone as Chancellor of the Excheauer
and two or three others In subordinate de-
partments, remain as before. The Cabinet is
a Coalition Cabinet still indeed each party
,,r tal . Il.
as in the old.
The changes which have been made, bring
before us another principle in the Parlia-
mentary system, which deserves notice Lord
Palmcrston and Mr.. Sidney Herbert take
new Offices in the present Cabinet By this
step they vacate their seats in the House OF
Commons, and must appear before their con-
stituents for reelection. Here you see is
another check upon the Ministry in the pow.
er of the people. If a Cabinet Minister can
not secure IA seat in Parliament, he throws W
Office none are considered available in the
organization of n Ministry but those who can
rely on an election. When Lord John Rus
sell contested the representation Of London
with n view to n seat in thn l"'~ w. '-i-' - lis
prospects were at one time very doubtful, but
man of standing in his party cannot afford
to shrink from such test of confidence, by
presenting himself before some small body o
partisans in some close corporation. 1t is
not thought that Palmerston and Herbert
will find any opposition to their reelection
but week must elapse before they can be
returned, Parliament has accordingly adj
iourned till next Friday.

PAY YoUR BILLs-AN INcENTIvE-Some
years ago a farmer in Frederick county Md,
owed a neighbor of his $50, and as soon as he
could realize the sum, he promptly paid it
over. The morning he called to pay it, his
friend appeared to be very thankful, remark
ing that he was also in debt to another person
who needed the money, and he would at once
take it to him. This remark started train
of thought in the mind of the first person,
who said to himself why here, is 800 paid
with $50. | Will at ohce follow -up this
matter and see where it will end. lie then
followed up the payments Of debts by tins
one note of $50, until he traced it to the
large amount of $3.50, when it got out OF
his reach.
Now here is moral, A owes b bill
which, if he pays promptly. will be paid by
b to c, and so on through the whole alpha
bet and, it will be surprising to every one,
what small amount is necessary to pay of
hundreds of thousands by keeping the 'eagle'
on the wing Now, when the money market
| is so tight and the banks are unable to dis
count all the paper offered, let persons begiT
| to pay thier bills, and by doing this, they
themselves, will be paid back in turn. 1t i

DURATION OF ENGLISH MINIsrRIEs.-The
following account Of the names and the dura-
tion of the various Administrations which
have governed England since the passing of
the Reform Act of 1882 may, at this
moment, be interesting to all parties. The
Ministry of the late Earl Grey held Office
from November, 1880, to August, 1884, and
was instrumental in carrying the bill for the
reform Of the representative system. On
the resignation Of Earl Grey, in August, 1884,
the whig Ministry was modified, and Viscount
Melburne was raised to the Office of First
Lord of the treasury. The Ministry was
dissolved by William ", in November, 1884,
when Sir Robert. Peel was summoned by the
King from Rome to form a new Government
on moderate Conservative principles. Sir
Rrobert's tenure of Office, however, was brief,
| for, in the following April (ls35) the right
! Hon. bGrJnct WAS defeated on the famous
d" Appropriation Clause of the Irish Tithe
bill, and Lord Melburne once more resumed
the reins of Government. This, the second
Melbourne Ministry, endured from April,
1885, to August, lS4l, or upwards of six
| years, exclusive Of the weeks intrregnuB'
ia 1899, when Lord Melbourne temporarily
resigned, and was reinstated on the refusal
| Of Sir Il. Peel to take Office under certain
circumstances which need not now be reverted
to. In the summer of lS4l the Wings were
defeated in two Parhaments elected under
their own auspices, and Sir r. Peel formed
that Administration which carried the prin-
ciple of Free Trade, and was eventually upset
in lS4G by the secession of its :. Protec
tionist' supporters. Lord John Russell
Administration, which succeeded lasted from
June lS4G, to February 1852, when defeat
on the Militia Bill induced his Lordship t,
resign Office
Then came the brief Administration of TIN
Earl Of Derby and the - country party" whicl
lasted about nine months. 1t was Dissolve,
Just before Christmas. 1852, and the Earl o
Aberdeen succeeded as the head of II Coalition
Ministry. This Administration has lasted
little more than two years 1t will be seei
that tho second Ministry of Viscoun
) Melbourne held Office for upward of six years
that of Sir Robert Peel (the second Ministry
, nearly five years, and that of lord Jobl
, Russell nearly six years. During the perio
in question, viz, from 1894 to 1854, thre
appeals were made by existing ministries t

SLowNEss OF CONCEPTION. Our old friend
T, ,descendent from primitive colony
that leaving the /" "taderlant," planted

German slowness of ofcomprehensiOn, as well as
the proverbial correctness of the Teutonic
race, when he once got fairly hold of an idea,

twenty dollars in small bills to break double

Count Rumiord confined twenty eight grains
