The ALABAMA CLAIMS QUESTION
London correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune, in its issue of February 18th.
alluding to the all-absorbing Alabama
question, criticises the American case as
follows:
To me the American case seems like
the work of Mr.. G. f. Train. Deplora-
BILE from all points of view is this sharp
practice of the American advisers. The
only people in the United Kingdom who
do not in some way condemn it are the
Fenians of Ireland, who indeed shout
with delight. The public writers, poll
ticians and clergymen who sympathised
keenly with the North, who are almost
termed by nickname Americans these
are the most cruelty wounded of all.
"what do you say of your American
frien Is now?" is the daily remark, and
the answer is always to the effect-"As
we supported them when we felt they
we're right, we oppose them when we
think they are wrong" The feeling Of
the country is one of increasing bitter
ness, and the extraordinary part of the
matter is its entire unanimity. can
remember nothing like it.

A ToorHP1cK SToRY.-A correspon-
dent of the London Telegraph, writing
feom Baden-Baden, tells the following
You know the Germans-they are odd.
A man opened restaurant here at the

well. A stranger went to dine there the
fifth week Of its existence. "Give me a

which saved my life perhaps. We re-
turned to San Francisco.
'Since that last visit 1 have been con-
fident of success. We have organized

At this point Mrs. Welsh came up
and intimated to the Captain tnat he
was spinning long yarn while his
guests were anxious to see him.
.'Ah yes" said he, ''you see you
have struck me at a bad time; if you
could only wait bit, might be able to

Mrs. Welsh, the Eliza-the heroine Of
our story, is hale. hearty old lady, as
bright as new dollar. She steps the

and whitened her hair, but she is as
vigorous as could be wished, and con-
idant-even more SO than her hus-
band.

she said, putting her trumpet to her ear,
which implied that she was a little

WHEN SENATOR WILSON predicted that
North Carolina would vote Republican the
Greeley organs pronounced him wild.
When he said the October elections would
show large Republican majorities the same
papers said he was talking for effect. But
so far, every prediction he has made has
been verified and he has thus given new
grounds upon which to base his claim as
the best informed politician of the country.
In view Of this the following from his ST.
Louis speech of the 9th inst, may afford
some encouragement to the Greeleyites.
He says "You havemet here tonight to
rejoice over the result of the labors of your
friends in the other States I have ex-
pected this triumph. 1 have expected that
we would carry every one of the free States
