DEATH OF Rev. ALBERT BARNEs.-A
dispatch from Philadelphia announces the
death Of the Rev. Albert Barnes ID. D.,
the well-known author of" Barnes Notes
on the Gospel. He died suddenly at 4

coincidence at the residence of a member
of his congregation. He was in apparent
perfect health, having preached twice on
the previous Sabbath. He was CONVEX
sing with his daughter, when he suddenly
threw back lis head and expired. DR..
Barnes was native of Rome, N. Y.
and was born in Dec. 1898. He was a
graduate of Princeton, and has been set
tied in Philadelphia since 1880. He is
known the world over as the author Of

LAND GRANTS TO SoLDIERs.-There are
three bills now before Congress, embody-
ing the giving Of land by the United
States to soldiers who served honoIably
in the war for suppressing the rebellion.
One, that of Mr.. Logan, provides that
the soldiers service should secure him a
complete title within reasonable time
after settlement, allowing him to count
his term Of army service as part Of FIVE
years settlement which is required by
the law before title can issue.
Another, introduced by Mr.. Voorhees,,
gives land without requiring settlement,
amounting in fact to an increase of pen
sion in land, but not an additional bounty
to the able bodied soldier.
The third, the bill of Mr.. Beatty, pro-
poses that land granted the soldier shall
be subject to the claim of his heirs in
the same order as provided by the bounty
laws, thus providing q homestead for or
phans and widows Of deceased soldiers.
The Grand Army Journal opposes
any proposition to grant land to the soldier
which does not require an actual settle
ment on it. The grant Of land titles
would be virtually q small additions
bounty to those who would sell them, and
harvest for claim agents who would bu,
them up for capitalists; but it would b
advantageous to the United States to Civ
homestead to every veteran who woul'
settle on it.

@Surratt mentioned, in his lecture
in Baltimore, an incident which occurred
while he was serving in the Papal army.
He said that as he and a party of his
comrades were sitting together, it was
proposed that each should tell how he
came to be there. When his turn came,
he evaded the truth by saying that love
of adventure had brought him. But a
Frenchman said, II know what brought
you here; you are Booth you killed
President Lincoln, and you came here to
hide" The Frenchman knew nothing
about Surratt or his history, and his re-
mark was the prompting Of a mysterious
impulse that he could not explain.

EAn extraordinary case is on trial
before United States Commissioner in
Rochester. 1t is alleged that the defen-
dant and about thirty others entered in
to formal written agreement, before the
election, to sell their votes to whoever
would pay the most, and that one Of the
bylaws Of their association provided that
twenty lashes should be inflicted on any
member who voted contrary to the direc-
ton Of their President. This is in reality
if not in form, what is done frequently by
organizations not professedly political.

@The new constitution of South
Carolina, without making any express
provision for the granting of divorces, re-
cognizes the fact that the marriage tie
can be dissolved; and as, under this
provision, some of the Judges of the State
have heard and granted petitions for
divorce, while others have refused to
grant such petitions, divorce bill has
been introduced in the Legislature to
regulate the matter. Before the war,
divorce was unknown to the law of the
State.

prcccpt for the position Of intelligent

probation Of thirty years is sufficient to
fit them for the duties OF citizens OF the

by actual trial. There seems to be no
good reason why an opportunity should
not be given these civilized and settled

TIE ALABAMA CLAIMs.-A bill is
ready to DO introduced when Congress
reasscmbles, providing for an invcstiga-
ton of the Alabama claims and the pay
ment by our Government Of such as are
allowed to be valid. This is the only
reasonable method if the Government
proposes to make their settlement a
national question, but it will be found to
be pretty job. The sufferers, of course,
were generally insured, for which they
paid war rates. The underwriters took
their chances with those war rates, and it
is hardly to be supposed that they found
the business generally Improbable. Who,
then, will present the claims? To whom
is the naturalization duc--to those who
bore the losses, or these who paid the war
rates? We are satisfied of one thing.
and that is that if Congress settles the
matter it will be made an excuse for
squaudering money which the Govern
ment is not bound to pay, and which will
reach the right hands in very few in.

The MoNT GEMS TUNNEL.-Thc COM
pletion of the Mont Gents Tunnel is one
of the great events of this wonderful age.
The tunnel is about seven and thrcc-ffths
miles long, aud boring operations have
been conducted from both ends toward
the centre. The two parties came within
hearing Of each other on Christmas, and
might have exchanged the joyful greet
iugs Of the season through the rocky wall
that separated them. The tunnel was
begun in 1857, and at first proceeded
very slowly, but the introduction of COM
pressed air drills in 1861 on the Italian
side, and two years later on the French
side, caused great increase in the rate
of progress. The completion of this work
gives us encouragement in regard to the
Hoosac Tunnel, which was begun before
the Mont Gems enterprise, but has never
known fair rate progress until recent
y. The Mont Gents Tunnel is very
important work. 1t pierces the Alps
connects France and Italy, and reduces a
toilsome days journey over the mountain
to fifteen minutes ride through it. 1t is
the greatest engineering feat ever ac-
complished. and like the Suez Canal, re,
fleets credit on the skill and enterprise o.
the age in which we live.
