the tribes of Central Asia is the barest of
possibilities. Permanent peace is out of the
question. And whatever be the result, the
inevitable coming conflict between Russia and
Great Britain for dominion in Asia still lies
clearly visible in the not distant future
1t is this last which gives interest to this
Asiatic question. With the movements of
troops and with the fate of barbarian tribes in
Central Asia we have but little to do But
with possible wars between great Powers and
with the possible results of these wars we
cannot afford to be indifferent All the world
knows that the British government, spite of
its protestations to the contrary, looks with
jealousy to the aggressive movements of Rus
sia in Central Asia. 1t is convenient to Great
Britain to have as many barbarous tribes as
possible lying between the northern frontiers
Of India and the territories Of the Car. 1t is
the fixed policy of Russia, on the other hand,
to make Central Asia her own, at any cost,
willing as she is to bide her time Her ag-
gressive policy in this position, and with this
end in view, has been steady and ever onward.
Khokand and Bokhara have already submit
ted and Khiva alone is wanted to make
her mistress of the line of the Oxus
The jealousy of the two Powers, as we
have said, is well known to the world
This jealousy the one Power cannot conceal
from the other. In the matter Of Khiva
Great Britain has demanded and Russia has
given explanations. With the explanations
offered by Count Schouvaloff in person in
London, and with fuller explanations sent
along the telegraphic lines, Great Britain
protested herself contented. No one. how
ever, has believed that the explanations of
Russia were honest, or that the expressed sat-
, iisfaotion of the British Government was sin.
se r5. Even in this present despatch the spirit
Of Jealousy crops CUT The proposals Of the
Khan of Khiva are said to bs made by the
advice Of England. English interference

A "Reminiscences.

The appearance Of the venerable Rev. VIM.
A. Drew in the House, this morning to Off
ciate as chaplain called wildly to mind lit
tie episode which occurred in 1854.
In the onfused state of political parties, at
the preceding annual election only minority
OF full Senate had been elected by the peo-
pie; and the ground taken was, that nnori
ty was no Senate, and hence could not Or
game: and so seven weeks were spent, with
various, but fruitless attempts at organization.
Recourse was finally had to the Supreme
court, and an opinion drawn by the Chief
Justice, now to be found in the thirty-fifth
volume of Maine Reports, came immedia ely
back, deciding that any number of Senators
duly elected constituted a Senate, and hence
could organize
In the then excited state of the public mind
this opinion was at once arraigned and most
severely criticised, as being itself the result Of
| political bias. The next morning after the
PRONUNCIATION of this opinion Mr.. Drew ap
peared in the Speakers desk to of1iciate az
chaplain, and it was at once apparent thai
ne even had not escaped the new inspiration.
j. After seeking the Divine blessing witt
great particularly, and unusual JUNCTION upon
the members of the House he proceeded tt
the Senate in these words, "And now, 0
Lord we beseech thee to bless the Senate, u
in any constitutional sense it can be calico
Sendte.' This manner of taking an appeal
to the highest and ultimate tribunal on ques-
tons of constitutional law, was so unique as
to provoke an uproarious outburst OF merrl-
ment in the very midst of the morning So
