The proposed conference of the European
powers for the purpose of considering the
status of the Jews in Roumania has, 1t ls
stated, fallen through. There will be no con-
ference, but, instead, the governments are to
communicate an nenergetic note on the subject

News comes from England of the death of
Sir Joseph I'7Wley's famous thoroughbred
sire, Beadsman, In the Itch year Of his age.
This is an undoubted loss to the British turf,
for In his veins ran some OF the purest blood
that ever warmed the heart of Derby winner.
At the moment OF his death no horse in Eng
land of the same age would have fetched 30
large price as Beadsman. 1t is noteworthy
fact that the two animals which shortly before
the Derby of 1858 ran dead heat for the New
market stakes-Beadsman, by Weatherbit,
aud Eclipse, by Orlando-have proved them
selves about the best slres Of the century. The
feme of Beadsman needs no recapitulation to
British sportsmen, nor the fame OF Eclipse to
our own race frequenters. In the Jerome
Park meeting, about two months ago, the sons
and daughters of Eclipse, whose progeny can
90 fast and Tan also stay, carried all before
them.

dent Taylor's Cabinet, which position he held

when he was chosen as the president OF the
State Secession Convention. Since that pc
Rod he has lived in retirement at his home
near Bel-Air.
Mr.. Walter, of the London "Times," Is
one of the most cautious, as well as one of the
shrewdest of newspaper proprietors. When
he expresses the belief that the period is not
far distant when the whole work upon that
paper will be done by machinery, as he has
recently, his opinion is entitled to all the
weight which thorough knowledge OF the
subject aud sound judgmentln matters con-
nected with it can give. AS the most inpor
tant step in this direction, Mr.. Walter, in con
neetion with NJ. Kesteubein, the inventor, ex'
hibit in the international Exposition OF Indus
trv IN London what is claimed to be com
nlete type-setting machine. Two OF these
machines are now in use iu the Times of1ce'
With them two boys, who can read, can sci
type as fast as three arst-class printers, and
one boy can distribute type again more rapid
than any one printer can by hand. The
types are those now in use, and the machine
requires no alteration In the ordinary forms
of setting them. The Times gives long de-
scr,ption of the machine, and Its mode Of
working.
