OBITUARY..
Hon. Hiram Ketchum.

The death OF Hon. Hiram Ketchum at Riyerdale
Westchester county, New York. aged seventy-eIght.
is the death OF another OF valuable and distin
guished men who have made great marks in their
day and generation. Mr.. Ketchum was born in the
northern part Of New York State, and emIgrated to
the city OF New York over forty years ago. when
that city ended at Bleecker street. and when Brook
yn and Jersey City were but little towns, and hence
in his lifetime he saw city grow and nearly all the
institutions In it. In almost all af these institutions
religious civil, literary scholastic, social and 90.
litical, Mr.. Ketchum acted great part.
Mr.. Ketchum was best known for two events in
his life-the one, his ardent, lfe-oDg devotion TO
Daniel Webster, who, next to Edward Curtis and r.
M. Batchford Lee, was his confidential friend; aud
the other his sharp and prolonged controversy with
Archbishop Hughes on the public schools. TIE two
great contentiss were well matched In earnestness
and perseverance. Frequently both appeared before
the city authorities, to argue their respective Sides
ana as frequently In print. The contes: ended with
victory for neither, while the public schools were
Kept as tney mad been open to all, Jew and Gentle.
His last appearance before the public, last winter

The REPUBLICAN leaders of France are evil
IDENTIFY determined to leave Prussia no pre-
text for a prolongation of the war. They
willaccede to everything that can be honorably
surrendered But it is said that King William
will not treat with them on any terms, on the
ground that they do not possess the requisite
authority, the German theory being that the
old Corps Legislatif and the Regency is the
Government de jure, and the only one COM
petent to frame binding treaty. There is
certain degree of plausibility in this notion,
but the business of hunting up or setting up
governments which have not a veritable ex-
istence rarely proves profitable, and even
German armies will find themselves scarcely
competent to control the erratic politics of
France The long-looked-for uprising, which
has not been produced by invasion or invest
ment of the capital, may come at last if any
open or covert attempt ismade to re- establish
the empire.

GERMANY, although she has her hands pretty full
at present, has yet time to look ahead in such mat
ters, for instance, as education. All the univers-
ties being nearly closed now professors as well as
students having gone either to fight or to bind up
wounds, the regular programmes for the lectures in
the forthcoming winter term are issued and pub
lished as usual. Again, twenty-eight out of the
thirty archaeological professors Of the university
at Munich have at the nstigation OF the theologi-
cal professors, issued stirring protest not only
against the Infallibity but against the Gcumenicity
of the Vatican Council. And, while this protest
takes its stand on the Bavarian Constitution and
State law the theological faculty in its turn is pre-
pairing manifesto in the same sense upon theolo-
gica grounds The publication Of the dogma itself
in Bavaria will not be undertaken by the unwilling
archbishop in hurry, even If no special ministerial
prohibition should be issued against 1t.

GEMS conoreting fortunes in their tiny
facets have furnished a fsvorite theme for
fiction, but even the novelist's imagination
could not group around the story of the
''Moonstone" more wondrous incidents than
have attended the veritable wanderings of
that splendid amethyst which was sent to the
beautiful creole Josephine Beauharnois by
her imprisoned husband, which thenceforth
cleaned upon her hand through all the
strange vicissitudes of her eventful life, and
after attending her through glory and dis
grace, was taken from the clay-cold finger of
the divorced Empress to gleam again upon
the hand of another Queen. From the dead
finger of the dethroned and exiled Hortense
it was again taken to follow the marvellous
career of her son, to be borne through beg
gary, exile, and imprisonment until it should
again CLEAN upon a throne of empire, aud now
it ends as it began, with an imprisoned Beau
harnois-Napoleon the Third. The cold, sense
less gem lives on, while generations of men rise
and fall, and it is only segment of its life
that is comprised between that first Reign of
Terror that deluged the streets of Paris with
blood and that widely different Reign of Ter
ror that threatens it to-day.
