JOHN VAN BUREN.-The death of John Van
Buren,. son of the late President Van Buren,
and for years known universally as prince
John" has closed one of the eccentric ca
reers in American politics. He was fifty-six
years old and graduate of Yale College of the
class OF 1923, lawyer of much distinction, and
a man OF wit, eloquence and versatile powers.
His political experience was varied. ai,houeh
he rarely held office. His opponents seldom es-
capped without some reason to remember their
encounter with him; few men added more to
the anecdote Of the time than he, and few
made more radical changes of ground, or sue
wrong side. Brilliant repartee, unexampled
dplonlb, and power of ingenious statement
not limited by any narrow scruples, made him
a successful advocate both at the bar and on
the platform.-Bostom Advertiser
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1866-10-19

though lie is.probably less the controlling spirit
of the paper than his associate, Mr. Parke
Goodwin.
There is no paper from which we have more
frequent occasion to quote good thing than
the Evening Post, as from the constant recur-
renee of its name in our columns, our readers
must be well aware. Its articles on foreign
affairs are especially admirable, while the
completeness OF its domestic summary is such
that intelligent Americans travelling abroad
find it by far the best medium of information
in relation to home affairs.
1t is gratifying to perceive by the present en-
largement that the success of such paper is
commensurate with its merits

THE VENETIAN DEBT.-As the Argus is
still uncertain about the settlement of the We
netians debt, it may be worth while to make
one more effort to elucidate the matter. The
dispute between the the Austrian and Italian
governments arose from the urgency with
which Austria insisted that a part of the gem
eral debt of the Austrian Empire should be
assumed by Italy. The Italian government
was willing to assume the debts contracted es
peciaiyfor Venetia, amounting to some thirty
five millions of forms. Austria insisted that
she must assume eighty or a hundred millions
more-beng the Venetian proportion of the gem
eral Austrian debt. The italian government
declared it would prefer to renounce it's claim
for the present and await a more favorable on
portunity to enforce it. The matter was SET
tied ON the basis proposed by Italy. In other
words, "the fact with regard to that portion of
the Austrian debt which belonged to Venetia.
is that it has been aohoHy assumed Jy AUSTRIA"
We observe that the Argus now speaks If
It's effort in behalf of the Confederate debt ~
a reductfo dd dbsurdWna. Very WELL avhot did
the Argus intend to prove absurd? The fact
that there was a rebel government at Rich
mond. How? By assuming that if there was
a Confederate government there was an indie
pendent Confederate nation. 1t is the arou-
ment IN our opinion, which is absurd the fact
remaining without damage.

THE METRIC SYsTEM-A Compilation, con-
sisting of extracts from the Report of the Com
mittee of the House of Representatives, and
the law of Congress adopting the System, and
tables of Authorized Weights and Measures
and, A Translation of portion of a work en-
titled The Legal System of Weights and Meas
ures. By NJ. Lamotte, Philadelphia: J. B. Lip
pencott and Company.
The very comprehensive title of this
little brochure is almost sufficient des-
cription of its object and contents. All
the legal aspects of the important question to
which it relates may be gathered from the first
part of the book. The second portion from the
French of M. Lamotte, is devoted to very lu-
cid explanation of the system itself by means
of which any person, any intelligent child ey-
en-, may easily become familiar with the princi-
pie and its practical working. As this simple
and harmonious system of weights and meas
ures is destined ultimately, and it is to be
hoped, soon, to supersede our present clumsy
and anomalous no-system, everything which
can serve to disseminate a correct knowledge
of its merits among the people is timely and
valuable.

fTNHE advantage of this Fire and Burglar Proc
Il Safe consists in Its peculiar construction. The
most serious objection to Safes heretofore in use has
been their liability to destruction by falling IRON

the door is double; and in fact, the whole front Of

Waited by this patent, by constructing 1t in cyliI
drica shape, with convex tops and bottoms, thus ~
curing the greatest possible strength; and, by nal
ing the interior to rev0lve upon Pivots, bringing
smooth, impehetrabie surface OF iron entirely aero
the outer opening, with no inlet or seam.
Between this inner compartment and the out
cylinder, is an air chamber, extending complete
around, leaving no connection between the Ia
structures but the pivots upon which the interiC
cylinder revolves. These advantages are manifold
but we call attention TO singular feature of the in
venton; 1t is, that the inner safe is movable an,
when the outer door Is opened the surface of the La

whole safe is q solid mass. The signal Importance
this met Is EVIDENT for when the inner safe Is unos
