COURTS OF ARBITRATIoN.-A new tri-
bunal has been established in New York,
the working of which will he regarded
with much interest in other mercantile
communities. A Court of Arbitration has
been organized under an act of the last
Legislature, similar to those which have
existed for some time in England, Ger
many and other European countries. The
object is to expedite the administration of
justice in cases now peculiarly exposed to
delay, or where delay is peculiarly injur-
Gus to the parties. The merchant, for in
stance, whose goods, IN hdnsitu or in ware
house, are improperly attached or claimed
by another, desii es that the claim may he
speedily tried. The shipowner whose YES
sci is seized, or the master OF which is sued,
cannot afford TO wait the long process OF
lawsuit. The insured, whose property has
been lost by perils of the sea or by fire,
cannot endure to have his business sus-
pended for years, until ii can be dctermiu-
ell whether his losses are to be recovered.
And so, too, the banker, the manufacturer
and, in hort, all classes of business men,
have need of some sort of judicial method
of adjusting differences al short notice and
without the cumbersome and tedious forms
now prevailing in the ordinary courts of
justice. And yet the processes of the new
Court of Arbitration are just as authorize
tive as those of any other tribunal. When
the submission has once been made, tie
party must abide by the final issue, which
becomes matter OF record, Judgment and
n.,n .l.,t;. -
the plan is lis xpensiveness, as compar-
with litigation by the usual court proceed
ings. In every country where anything Of
the kind has been tried abroad il has given
complete satisfaction. If the same result
follows in New York such courts viii he
rapidly multiplied.

A NOTICEABLE feature of the last
decade is the number of interna-
tional congresses that have been
held in Europe. Among those
worthy of mention were the Peace
Congress at Berne, and the Inter-
national Congress at Geneva. The
last was the most important of all, ,
as its discussions We're mainly con-
fined to plans for preventing wars,
settling disputes by arbitration, and
the adoption of a uniform money
system among nations. The adop-
ton of a good and cheap postal sys-
TEN will be of incalculable benefit
to all the nations of the earth. and
especially among those of the Cau-
cassian race. The signs of the
times point unmistakably to the
fact that in the not remote future
postal matters will be greatly sys-
temized and improved !; that war
will be relieved of much of its pres
ent horrors, and that commercial
relations among all maritime pow
ers will be greatly facilitated.

A CHEERFUL FUNERAL. = The
Boston Spiritual Scientist says The
funeral of Mrs. Nayler, the late wife
of r. S. Nayler, conductor of the
Iyceum services and chief exponent
in Stawell for years of the doctrines
.of Spiritualism, took place on Mon
.day afternoon. 1t was we'll attended,
and was highly noticeable from the
total absence of all outward signs of
grief usually manifested on such oc-
.casiens. The lhearse, as well as the
horses and their drivers, was decked
with festoons of evergreens and flow
ers in place OF plumes, while on the
coffin itself lay two large bouquets.
Each of those forming the procession
was presented with small bunch OF
flowers to be worn in the button
hole of the coat, and the appearance
of the whole was sufficiently singu-
lar to attract much attention. A
pretty large crowd assembled in the
cemetery, those anxious to testify to
their respect for the deceased lady
being supplemented, doubtless, by
others who We're curious to know
what description Of ceremony would
be used. There was little to denote
a departure from the ordinary usa-
ges, except total absence of any
thing like mourning or regret. The
deceased lady was spoken Of in an
address by Mr.. Walter as merely
having changed her place of exist
ence, and to be still capable OF
Watching over and protecting her
friends; and this, with some ref1ec-
tions on the event, hymn express
sive of the souls desire for the bet
ter world, and short prayer of adj
Grafton, completed the ceremony.
At an appropriate point the coffin
was lowered into the grave, still
bearing the large bouquets, and all
those present threw those they had
worn upon it.

THE LAST OF HIS RACE.-An In
dian had been picked up drunk, and
though it was proposed to let him
90 over the river, it was desirable to
have him understand that no Indi-
an has any more rights than a white
man.
"Child of the whispering forest
son of the grassy plains-it grieves
my spirit to see you here" said His
Honor. Only few more moons
will come and go before you will be
gathered to the happy hunting
grounds of your brothers gone be-
fore-You are an aged tree; time has
shorn you of your strength. You
can no longer chase the wild condu-
range and follow the roebuck. The
buffalo grazes in front of your lodge,
and your arm is not strong enough
TO draw the bow. The rambling
thunder and the sharp lightning
make you afraid. Once you could
not count the camp-fires of your
tribe, so many did they number;
now there is nothing left of your
tribe but yourself, two old army
blankets and shotgun with the
lock out of repair. Son of the for
est, why is this thing thus, and what
do you mean by coming into my
trapping grounds and getting
.drunk?'
"The white chief has spoken
many wise words" replied the Indi-
an in measured tones, resting one
foot on the edge of spittoon. "My
race has fallen like the leaves-been
washed away like water washes out
the marks of chalk. / stand alone.
My, campfire has gone out, and my
lodge is cold and has no mat. Kaw-
ltoi-kekick has tears in his eyes when
he looks to the West and no longer
sees the smoke of many camp-fires.
Our great chieftains have fallen, our
warriors are dust, and the wolf ut
tiers his lonesome howl OH the spot
where stood our big village. l am
weary of this life; 1 am sad"
"The red man may CO." said his
Honor. " l cannot give you back
your dead; l cannot cover the hills
and meadows with forests again; the
wildffoX and the deer have sought
deeper glens; and 10 power can
awaken the warriors whose whoops
rang from hill to river. Go back to
your lodge; beware of water;
keep in nights; vote early and often
and be virtuous and you'll be hap
