gyman, the Rev. Hugh Hughes has just
died under very remarkable circumstances.
The reverend divine held very eminen,
position among the ministers Of Wales,

piety and simplicity Of life than for the
nervous power and eloquence with which
his pulpit discources were commonly cloth.
ed. On recent Sunday he preached dis.
course having significant reference to the
uncertainty Of life, for which he chose as the
text the remarkable declaration Of scripture,
Blessed arc the dead that die in the Lord"
He was explaining the passage, and apply.
ing it with fervor and power, when he was
observed suddenly to stagger and fall
Those present rushed around him and rails
Cd him up. when it was found that he had
been seized with paralysis. He was imme.
diately carried to his residence, but did not
speak afterwards.

PxAcE.-Our Geographic reports give to day
4 very plausible statement Of the conditions OF
peace carried by Mr.. BLAIR to Richmond, with
che new announcement that rebel commission
ers are on their way to Washington, and the
information that LINCOLN and JEFF. DAVIS are
both favorably disposed towards peace. How
much there is Of positive truth in these state.
ments it is of course impossible to judge: but a
war.oppressed country will desire to believe
all that is told to it that speaks ofpeace.
Since the failure to secure conservative adj
ministration at the Presidential election, the
next thing to be desired was that the conserva.
tive spirit might so far animate the successful
party as to induce it to exhaust the resources
Of craftsmanship in an effort to secure peace.
The propositions reported as having been made
are great step in this direction. Universal
amnesty and the Constitution az it is and the
Union as it was are all that could be asked
The third condition of peace, namely, the
eventual abolition of slavery, is in conflict with
the second, but it is one too easily abandoned
70 form an insurmountable obstacle in the way
Of peace, when negotiations are faily begun.
II the point is once reached where the rebels
authoeitatively declare their readiness to resume
their places in the Union, with amnesty to all,
and the Constitution as it is and the Union as it
was; and the National Administration consents
TO these conditions, leaving only the eventual
abolition of slavery as the bone Of contention
the war must cease. II the men in power,
in such contingency, should be 80 infatuated
- to insist upon perpetual war for the sole pur.
pose Of compelling all the States to emancipate
the negro, they would probably find in the voice
Of the people and Of the army, good and suffi.
cient reasons for abandoning SO monstrous an
idea.-OLseruer amt Democrat.

Court Etiquette. ars
A very curious regulation Of the Cham
berlain's Office, bearing date 1924, touching
the conduct to be observed by cadets who
were invited to dine with an Austrian
archduke, runs as follows ---.-...

TO dine at his table, and having had FIRE.
quent opportunities of observing that the
greater part Of these officers behave with
the strictest courtesy and good breeding
towards each other, and generally conduct
themselves like true and worthy cavaliers,
nevertheless deems it advisable thai the
less experienced cadets should have their
attention directed to the following code Of
regulations:
~. To present their respects to His
Imperial and Royal Highness on their ar.
rival, to come neatly dressed, coat and
boots, and not to enter the room in half
drunken condition.
~. At table they are not to tilt up their
chairs OF. rock themselves therein, nor
stretch their legs at full length.
80. Nor drink after each mouthful, for
if they do they will get tipsy too soon nor
empty the goblet to the extent Of more
than one half after each dish, ard, before
drinking therefrom, they should wipe the
mouth and moustaches In cleanly man.

~. Neither are they to thrust their
hands into the dishes, nor to throw the
bones under the table.
"b. Nor TO lick their fingers, nor to
,expectorate in their plates, nor to wipe
their noses on the tablecloth..
80. Nor drink so beastially IS to fall
from their chair, and make themselves in.
capable Of walking straight"

lower grades Of society when we find
