Gladstone's Compliments 90 oar Financial
System.

SYSTEM
In the debate on the Budget in the House Of
Commons, Mr. Gladstone eulogized in strong
language the financial policy Of the United States.
lie said
Let us not be ashamed to follow good cx-
ample wherever may find it, or to render q
Just tribute of admiration to the courage and
forethought Of the American people, who az this
moment are bearing q burden OF taxation which d.
both in its amount and its kind make tleir con
duct marvel, because they believe that the trno
secret Of their future power lies IN the steady
and rapid reduction OF their debt. Hear, hear.
1t is really worth while to consider what Inc
Americans have done
Stating the facts Of the rapid reduction Of the
American debt, he continued
Il must say that when I sec such facts rs
these / am deeply impressed with the greatness
of that people, and with the formidable charac-
ter Of the conflict with which this or any o-her
country would have to sustain in any war with
America Hear That people have not vauly
and idly imagined that the true secret Of their
strength is to keep mp huge armies in time Of
peace believe they have judged rghtlrin in
determining that the basis OF til 3r national
pow er is to save and husband their resources III
ordinary times, and to develop them without
stint. So far from acceling to the doctrine OF
not reduce our debt, cherish The hope that Ibis
snsa gnifceut example Of the American people viii
not be without its effect in This country and in
Europe and that II VIII shame the ua;ions on the
continent out of that suicidal policy OF wasting
their rccoNrses in creating ana maintaining l&rgo
standing armies for idle parade. or for more
serious and positive danger-tle having at hand
the ready means of conflict. Hear, hear,
am sure the prevailing sentiment Of the llonseis
in favor OF conveying to the people of America
and to their able and enlightened Minister Of Fl
nance, Mr.. McCuuGch, our hearty congratula-
tons and our best wishes that ne may long con-
tinue to apply the same vigorous and prudent
hand in wisely administering the resources Of
his country. Hear. The true rol.cr in Amer
ica, as here and elsewhere, is To set with caercy
and skill in the reduction Of the national GcJt.
TESTIMONY or THE CLrrs ASo ClTARacrs.-Mr.
Burke, in his Essay on tic Sublime, affirm in
erentially that the highest consciousness of that
sentiment is produced by the Appearance or I'M
mediate presence Of DANGER. We DO not think
that theory is correct in the 'esthetcs Of Yoscm-
te. Standing in the center Of the valley, which
is more like an Eiysian field th2n y region Of ter
ror, the spectator feels sense Of perfect sfcur-
ity. Looking up the massive, seamless rocks
rising to their dry heights. he reasons taat
their foundations are too deep and Wide, aud
their structure too compact to he oyerthrown

utterly subdued By the highest sentiment Of the

do not believe that the Atheist i7cs who could

"Dowx ANoYG THE DEAD MN "-Ileistcr C'y-
mer ]. Clancy Jones, ". B. Reed and other po-
HyalY dead men Of Pennsylvania, have written
q fr2ternal and doleful letter to James Buchanan
(the deadest Of dead men, asking his counsel
as to the chances of the constitution De.n9 saved
bv the democracy. "Old Buck" clasps bis hands
in prayer as usual, and, appealing to Fro'ldehec'
be thinks there is chance under tDe utterly
worthless constitution of Buchanan. When such
Ghosts Of the dear departed get up out Of the
@rornd TO repeat their old mummeries OF Iunbo
Jumbo there must be trouble in the graveyard.
PERlLs OF TIGHT LAcNG.-The Cincinnati g.
ssfte makes the following reference to fatal ac-
cdent which recently occurred At Dayton. Ohio
young lady much given to tie practice,
caused hook to be placed in the wall Of her
ROOM to which she was in the habit Of fastening
her corset strings 50 as to be able to draw ,herl
tighter. The other day she threw herself too
heavily on the strings and broke blood vessel,
from which she died in n few hours..
PoIsox OAK.-Iodide of potassia taken in doses
Of three to five grains, three times day, will
afford immediate relief in cases where the person
has been poisoned by these shrubs.
BAD.-A marriage in New York was indefinite
