DisraeIi ON Alabama Claims.


LONDON, April 4.-Disraeli, in speech
at Manchester last night, referred to the
American difficulties growing out of the
Alabama claims question. He condemned
the course of the Gladstone ministry; adj
mitted that it was impossible for America to
recede from her position in regard to the
question; thought ministerial Incompetence
could be saved by the ultimate acknowledge
ment of the principle of indirect claims, the
result whereof must be fraught with the ut
most danger to England. Earl Derby and
other prominent gentlemen followed in sim
liar speeches.
Jas. Stansfeld, radical member of Parlia-
ment, in an address to his constituency
last night, touched significantly upon the
Alabama treaty, and said the treaty seemed
to be- in jeopardy. If it failed the fault
would rest on the American government.
England had done her best to settle these
differences and set a good example to the
world.

ALE BREAD.

The recent excavations Of POmpeii have dis
closed several curious structures, One
house had evidently been in state of re-
pair when the volcano storm buried it.
Painters and decorators were masters of the
institution. The household goods were all
in disorder, and the family, if not out of
town, must have been undergoing that con-
ditiOn of misery which spring cleaning and
other like infections inevitably entail.
Painters pots and brushes and working
mems tools were scattered about. Tell-tale
spots of whitewash starred wall and floor.
Such domestic implements as pots and ket-
ties had been bundled up in a corner all by
themselves, and the cook was nowhere.
Dinner, however, had not been forgotten.

it is true, there was bronze dish in waiting
before the oven, and on the dish sucking

already engaged with its full complement of
bread; so the sucking pig had to wait, and
it never entered the oven, and the lOaves
were never taken out until after sojurn Of

ACLEAN SWEEP.

The St. Louis Times is jubilant over the
result of the election in St. Louis on the
10Th inst. That paper says:
"The few spots of dry land left to the
Radical party in st. Louis have been en-
tirely submerged by the Democratic wave
of yesterday. Out of the thirteen wards
the Radicals have carried but one-the
Fourth-and that only through the person
al popularity and almost superhuman efforts
of their candidate, Mr.. George Balm,
"The result is that we have elected our
nominees, in the First ward for the third
time in ten years; we have elected our can
didate, in the SecoudIward for the first time
in eighteen years, and in the Seventh ward
for the first time in four years.
"Out ofthe fourteen councilmen elected,
twelve are Democrats, one independent
Democrat and one Radical.
HThe combined Democratic msjOrity,nOt
counting the Eleventh Ward, will exceed
$500.
NThe revolution in st. Louis has at last
ended in a complete triumph. Step by
step we have advanced upon the Radical
strongholds, and captured them on the first
assault"

independence Riots.

The HAGUE, April 4.-The celebration
OF independence was attended with diser-
der and breaches of the peace at various
points. The most considerable distur-
Dances occurred at Osterout in North
Brabant where a mob collected, broke the
windows OF houses and committed other
outrages. The demonstrations became so
threatening that the town authorities found
1t necessary to call on the military to sup
press the riot. Upon the appearance of the
troops the mob dispersed but several per-
sons had been seriously injured before quiet
was restored. The cause of the outbreak
is supposed TO be dissatisfaction with the
ministry.
Among the conspicuous honors received
by Mr.. Lathrop Motley during the Tercen-
tiary anniversary of Dutch Independence
was the degree of DIR. of Laws, confirmed
on him by the famous University of Leyden.

says, declined to sign the call because it did
