SENIOR CASTELAR, has resigned the
Presidency of the Spanish Commission
to the Centennial Exhibition at Phila-
delphia, the CHARACTERISTIC of Public
instruction, and his University Profess
5sorship. He doesn't seem disposed to
affiliate with the government of Spain
In any way. He is man of genius,
learning and philanthropy, and such a
man can have nothing in common with
King Alfonso.

BEECHER's Boston worshipers are cir
aculating this little story in behalf of
the good man GA lady on Beacon Hill
was the happy possessor of one of those
pretty parlor ornaments, globe full of
gold fish. She named one of the largest
of the fishes Henry Ward and another
Tilton. In moment of evaporation,
the other day, Henry Ward ate Tilton
up. Luckily there was no mutual
friend in the case, else, perhaps, he
would have met the same fate"
The New York Tribune has compiled
some interesting statistics about the
hotels of that city. The amount of sup
plies consumed at fifteen of the leading
hotels are as follows. The figures are
amazing: 1000 pounds of fresh meat
per week, including $4,000 of beef
100000 pound of fish year, 5000, 900
oysters 100000 eggs 10000 barrels
of -four $50, 100000 pounds of coffee,
80, 200 pounds of tea and nearly 100000
of sugar; 1900, 1000 quarts of milk and
100000 of cream; 100000 pounds of

The late James Fisk's friends declare
shat his estate, at the time of his death,
was worth fully 81, 100000; that it has
been stolen by false claimants, by un-
principled lawyers, and his many enc
mics, who were determined to rob his
widow of every dollar of his property.
They say they can show where tens of
thousands OF dollars have been allowed
10y courts, without justice. It is as
serted, on the other hand, that, though
Fisk had an annual income of $500
to $500, 900, he spent it all in wine,
women, rioting and various forms of
corruption,
FROM an examination made by the
Congressional Postoffce Committee
into deficiencies, and into the causes
thereof, in the postal service, the fact
has been ascertaiued that in the State
OF New York there is received annually,
In excess of expenditures, 81, 121, 900 {:
in Massachusetts,, 1915, 900; in Penn
ssylvania, $431, 900; in Connecticut,
:$189,O00 in Rhode Island, III, 900; in
New Jersey, $74, 900, and in New Hamp-
shire, $41, 900. In all the rest of the
States and Territories of the Union the
expenditures exceed the receipts, rang
ing in amounts from $500 to 1924
900, the latter deficiency being in Texas,
while California comes next in order
with deficit amounting to 1904, 900.
Altogether it appears that the defcien-
cy amounts to two and half million
dollars, with an upward tendency every
year.
