The noisy outbreak Of the English press on
the klabama question presents one study which
Should not he overlooked. We have heard much
of the superior dignity necessarily peculiar TO
those who conduct the affairs of monarchies.
True, this claim comes always from organs OF
the men who profess this superiority. Ere
publes are vulgar, noisy and dsorderly," they
say, "and their governments are controlled by
the changing impulses of prejudice and pas
sioa;" but a monarchy, and especially the En-
glish monarchy, is Invariably calm, serene and
restrained by lofty dignity from making a yul-
gar noise on any question. It's manners have
that traditional repose, which, it is supposed,
never fails to "maik the caste of We're de We're
This does not appear 10 be 50 in fact; hut it is
always protested. In reality, no great country
in the world, except France, perhaps, is more
liable TO be disturbed by Inbred noise on public
questions than England.
Twice, at least, the English people have fallen
into la1ing unacy on this Alabama question
first WHEN Senator Sumner had delivered his
great speech on the Reyerdy johnson treaty
and now on hearing that our government will
present its whole case at Geneva, in accordance
with the terms of the treaty. The calmness
AMI "feposc" are on our side Nothing like
these unaccountable itS Of Iunacy have bcfallen
our people. On the English side, the "confcd-
crate debt" has been brought forward with
demand for payment. This demand might
have been treated as an atTocious insult, and
been made the occasion for a general outburst
of Indignation. But our people kept their tenn
per. We can not suppose the English govern
ment will actually bring itself 10 trife with the
treaty but all the world must beable to see that
England can rot justly claim superiority in the
matter Of wel-brcd sclfpoSsCssiou.

TnE Rev Mr.. MORGAN, who purloined a
large number of books from the theological
department of the public library in Cincinnati
has been very tendcrly dealt with by the au-
thoritics. The facts arc, that for some time
past books, chiefly commentaries and theolog-
zeal trealiscs, had been missing from that de.
partmeni, and the losses became so consider
able that the librarian set himself seriously to
work to trace the punderer. After watching
for some time, he was convinced that Mr.
Morgan had taken the books, and an officer
with search warrant, was sent 10 look them
up. The officer, finding Morgan in his study
told his GRAND, and the cuput, with much
appearance of embarrassment and contlilion
admitted taking them, nhd at once delivered
all but three or four volumes; of these he pro.

miums in the state securities.
The house experienced another and more pro.
nounced eruption Of the smallpox excitement
this afternoon. Two hours were speI.t in dis
eussing the propriety of allowing municipal
boards of health to take charge of small pox
patients. The debate at times was highly
amusing. One could bear the tedium of
several scnscless speeches any dav for
the sake OF hearing Mr. Thompson, of
Gloucester, make one of his humorous, incsive
speeches. He was in favor OF the proposed change
in the general statutes, as were Mr. Cogswell, of
Yarmouth, and several of the medical members.
ButIthc house held 20 its position that addition
al small pox legislation is unnecessary.
Mr.. Bgelow, of Marlboro, introduced, on
leave, bill which will please the laboring men,
whether it helps them much or not It proposes
to allow corporations to issue ten per cent of
Especial labor Stock to be taken by the en-
ployeS. The prevention of cruelty TO animals
is evidently a hobby with the member from
North Brookfed at whose suggestion the COM
mttee on agriculture were ordered to consider
law to prevent the hunting of rabbits with fer
rets. After the discussion on small pox the
house had another talk on the subject Of fees at
the state prison, which were collected from Wis
itors, last year, to the amount of S1400. 1t was
shown that if fees were not collected the prison
would be oyerrun with visitors, and the house
refused to take the matter out of the hands of
the prison inspectors.

The attention OF our readers Is called to the ad-
yertlscment Of the Charter Oak life insurance COM
pany of Hartford, Conn. This company Is well
known as of the oldest and most substantial
institutions Of its kind in the country 1t has been
most carefully managed during its business career
OF over twenty-one years. Though one of the most
conservative COmDan1es IN existence il has alyyavs
been the leader IN matters of improvement in the
science OF life Insurance. and has been the orig in
ator of many OF the most valuable features which
have been added to the business during the past few
years 1t now presents new p an, which is highly
commended by all whose attention has been direct
ed to il. This plan, Deposit Insurance, certainly
possesses some very marked improvements over any
other plan OF insurance with which we are ac-
quainted. To those who Give long and prosper
it yields very handsome returns as an investment,
and TO those who die ii affords the benefits of lnsur-
ance at rates far below those elsewhere offered on
any short cndOwments, for which this is q substi-
tute. But It's chief and admirable provision is for
the withdrawal of payments, by those who desire
SO TO do, at the end OF any policy year The amount

monotony not entirely unlike that

Dutchmen of New Amsterdam, so
well described in Irving's Knicker-

to reach well nigh beyond the scope of

Financial barTenness is sternly de-

Many men, whose property is worth
thousands, cannot pay a debt of ten

that this view is merely from a local

true. You do well to resist the eXtrav-
agaut cry for heavier taxes.
