Mr.. EDWARD DICEY has contrib
yuted to the Fortnightly Review, just
issued, his judgment of recent po
litical events in the United States
He is most intelligent observer
and has mastered the complicated
political system of this country more
nearly than any other Englishmar
with whose writings we are familiar
1t is pretty certain, he says, that the
November revolution was not an
expression of confidence in the dem
ocratic party, but a want of conf
dence in the party III power, and this
discontent he traces to four causes:
/, business depression, 2, the state OF
the South; 8, charges of corruption
against the administration; 4, dread
of third term presidency. To these
the London Economist adds a fifth,
and more general one-namely: a
WEAKNESS of popular enthusiasm,
analogous to that which has broken
Mr.. Gladstone's spell over the lib
eral party in England, and which
for the time has put an end to re-
publicanism in France.

APPEoPoS of Surgeons sermon
on smoking, let US recall the expe-
rience of Professor Huxley as given
a few years ago at meeting of the
British Association for the Advance
ment of Science, of which body he
was the President. He tells his
story thuswise: "He said he was
placed in rather awkward position
with regard to the question of smo-
king, for, for forty years of his life,
tobacco had been to him a deadly
poison. He was brought up as a
medical student, and he had every
temptation to acquire the art of smo-
king, but his smoking, after a few
puffs, always resulted in his finding
himself on the floor. He failed to
become q smoker when he was an
officer in the navy, and he had tor a
long time great antipathy to smok-
ers. But some few years ago he was
making tour in Brittany, when he
stayed at an old inn; it was awfully
wet and cold without, and friend
of his took to smoking, and tempted
him to have cigar. His friend
looked so happy, the fire was so
warm within the inn, and it was so
wet and cold without, that he
thought he would try to smoke, and
he found himself a changed man.
He found that he was in a position
of a lamentable pervert, and his
case would illustrate to them the evil
of bad associates, although the per-
son who led him astray was most
, distinguished and late President OF
this association. From that day he
dated his ruin Qaughter), for from
that day, whenever smoking was GO
ging on, they might be pretty sure
that he joined in it. There was a
. certain kind of substantial satisfac-
tion about smoking if kept in mode
ration, and he must say this for to-
.bacco, that it was sweetener and
Il equalizer of the temper. He was
glad to state that in his opinion there
was nothing worse than excessive
smoking; but any one could under.
: take to destroy himself with green
tea or any other article of diet if car.
Hried to excess.

CURIoUsLY enough, some of Mr..
Tweed's late subjects are not yet
satisfied with the situation. They
have got Mr.. 7. Jailed, and that is
comfort, as far as it goes; but they
also want their money back, and
thus far they haven't seen the first
penny. AS the Tribune plaintively
puts it, Mr.. T. CONTINUES directing
the management of his real estate
from the seclusion of his Blackwell's IS
island cell, and, SO far as the people
OF New York yet see, has undispu-
ted and indisputable control of the
property he stole from them.' In
order, if possible, to put a stop to
this singular state of things, the
mayor, alderman and commonalty
OF New York city have brought a
civil action against Mr.. Tweed and
a Mr.. Edward Marrener (contractor9

DEATH OF MRS. NARY E. K1MBALL.

At one o'clock a. m., April !, 1875 in
the Grand Central Hotel, New York City,
Mrs. Mary Eliza Kim5all departed this
life, aged 33 years, IL months and days
The funeral rites were solemnized at 8
o'clock D. m. Saturd y last, April Sd, at
the residence of her stricken parents, in
this city, and her remains were inferred

ed by a numerous assemblage of her
family relatives and other friends. The
services were conducted by Rev. W. P.
Shrom, the present pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church, in which she had
worshiped from childhood.
Mrs. Kimball was the eldest daughter
of Hon. Jacob Glessner, of this city, and
the wife of Mr.. Thomas s. Kimball, for
merly of Canton, Ohio. She was born on
the 9th day of April, 1871. She received
her education at the Female Seminary,
in Putnam, of which she was graduate.
Her marriage TO Mr.. Kimball took % lace
at the residence of her parents, in tnis
city, on the 28th day of May, 1868. Her
husband being engaged in business for
several years past in New York City, she
had joined him there but few weeks
since, after happy visit to her family
home. Her fatal illness was only ofsome
ten days duration, and was the conse-
quence of cold, which developed jaun-
dice, and terminated in paralysis of the
brain. Although she had severe par
oxyms of suffering, she was perfectly
conscious until the great change came
on, and her last moments were as tran
quill as the sleep of an innocent babe.
Her kind husband and her affectionate
mother (the latter summoned by tele-
graph the Sunday precedingl were pres
ent, and every care and attention were
most lovingly given, but her spirit was
called and taken by the Good Creator
who had sent it into this world, and it
was ready for the call. Indeed, there was
no time of her life when she could have
been said not to be prepared; for good
ness was the most prominent feature Of
he existence, and she manifested it in
every possible way.
