worthy Baptist, anxious to helpa denomlna-
tional school, agreed to leave 1t 500, 600 at hs
death, II the institution would pay him the IL
terest on 100000 at ak per cent. up that
event. The shrewdness of 1t lies In the fact
that he could get his life insured for that
amount InsS for $4,000 or $4,000, leaving him very
comfortable income besides. That is, for
nice annual revenue OF say $4,000, he would let
any collegeinsure his life for 100000.

-.Phe Boston Transcript says: "The man
Who governs France Ii much in the situation
Of the sailor who caught tiger under tub.
IF he don't sit down on him sll the time as
hard as be can the tiger will lift the tub and
be out and at him. If he finds the tub lifting
on one side shade. and sits more on that side
10 atop 1t, the beast beneath discovers letting
ND on the opposite side Of the tub and has bis
nose out there instanter. Would not the man
on the top sometimes like to take turns with
somebody In governing France, 80 that he
might sleep DOW and then out Of reach and
sound OF the tiger?"
1.-The New York correspondent Of the Bos-
ton Journal writes: "The fastest horse In the
world, SO it Is said, Ia the English horse Sterl-
ing. Private letters have been receive: 5ere
announcing that that famous horse will be
shipped for America, and be entered for the
Monmouth cup at Long Branch this season.
His competitor will be Mr.. Harper's Lopgfel-
low. Mr.. Harper resolved that his famous
horse should never again run for money; but
he has consented to have him entered for the
cup. The heat, two miles and half, is re-
garded as especially favorable to Lopgfellow.
Horsemen believe that with that distance he
can beat The world. Colonel Tom Scott has
srreed to run an express train from Harper's
stables in Kentucky to Long Branch without
change of cars. An elegant box stall ls to be
fitted up with all modern Improvements, and
the famous horse will be attended by his old
master, who hopes for better luck than when
last Longtellow was North"
The iuE text of Mr.. Gladstone's note Of de-
nial, or retractlon, as the case may be, has
come 10 hand, and 1t is such an eminently
pacific document as to lead us to hope that
the British Premier is far from the violent enc
my the first report of his speech represented.
II is, however, important to observe that Mr..
Gladstone cllngs stoutly to the assertion that
the treaty is clear and unambiguous in its
exclusion OF the consequential damages claim
ed in the American case as presented. His
denial amounts only TO the statement that he
did not say that every rational mind must
come to the same conclusion regarding It's
terms. This is good, so far as it goes, being
decided modification of the roar Of angry rage
which first reached these shores from what
we then supposed to be the throat OF the Brit
ish Lion himself. But there were other ex-
pressions in that speech which are not ex-
plaIned away, regarding the possibility of sub
mitting to arbitration such claims as those In
the American case. These yet stand as Mr..
Glsdstone's views; but his readiness to smooth
over some of the asperities of his remarks
leads rs to hope that the matter may be final
ly and entirely adjusted'without again awake
ming such wrath as this note is designed to
allay.

House Of Representatives 10 refund the cotton
