Lord Derby's reply,-for that is in a very
real sense what his answer to the working
mems deputation on Monday was, though MIR.
Gladstone was never named In it,-had u feeble
and puzzled ring in it, as of q statesman at bay,
required to attempt the impossible,- the one im-
possibility being to stir at all from a situation in
which he had demonstrated to his own s~atisfao-
lion that it was only possible to sit still and
wait upon events. He maintained that all the
atrocities we're over before the feet was sent
to Besika Bay, and before the encouragement
which that act gave was known to the Turks,
ignoring that they have been going on in
less degree ever since, and have been resumed
in Servia 10 these latter days. He pleaded in
no very dignifed fashion that the Government
could not have Allotted what had more than
doubled the difficulty and anxiety Of the diplo-
matio situation they had to meet,-as if any
one had accused the Government of any COM
plieity beyond cynical oarelessness and dilatory
incredulity, or as if completely in such crimes
we're In any sense a charge to which it became
an English Foreign Minister to plead even
mot guilty" He denied that England was
any more a surety for Turkey than Franco,
which had Joined her in the Cfimean war, and
he remarked that no agitation of this kind was
going on In France. The only satisfactory
sentence of his speech was this i-"For these
unfortunate Rulgarians, who have suffered 80

JUS
From the Spectator

Mr.. Gladstone's great speech ct Greenwich
this day week was delivered not precisely to an
asdie"cs,-for the majority could not have
heard him,-but in the presence of a multitude
estimated to reach the number of ten thousand.
Yet there was nothing of the style of open-air
rhetoric in it, such as was discerni5le in the
speech of 1854, 1t was grave, deliberate, and re-
fined. He spoke first, in words which produced
q powerful effect, on the depth to which the
mind of the whole nation had been stirred -
"On Monday morning, between four and Eve
o'clock, I was rattling through the calm and
silent streets of London, without football to
disturb them, and every house looked so still
that it might have been a receptacle of the
dead. But as l came through them, I felt 1t
to be an inspiring and noble thought, that Ia
every one of these houses there were intelligent
human beings, who when they woke would give
many of their earliest thoughts-aye, and some
Of their most energetic action, TOTO the
horrors Of Bulgaria"
, 1876-10-14

AS regarded the end in view, Mr.. Gladstone
urged that whatever our Administrative does,
it should be at once prompt and Ineligible.
Remonstrance with the Turkish Government
would be about as useful as romonstrance with
the confagration which burst out a few years
ago near London Bridge, and threatened the
floating craft on the river. The policy to be
adopted should be as mild as might prove
%effeotual to put q stop to these trightful scenes,
but if it ever acre necessary to choose between
what might be mild but not e%fFeotuaI, and what
might be %effeotual but not mild, the choice
ought to fall on the latter. He did not much
believe in governing these insurgent provinces
by Commissions. Nor did he wish to have
a European scramble for the Turkish posses,
si0ns. lie wished to see the suzerainty of the
Porte retained, but the administration Of the
revolted provinces and of Bulgaria given to
the people Of those provinces, as in The case of
Moldo-Wallachia twenty years ago. The
Powers of Europe must, in any case, unite to
stop the horrors. And il they cannot unite,
then, " without reference to this or that move
ment Of diplomacy, honour be to the Power,
whatever its name, that first steps in to stop
them.' A good settlement Of the question real
~ depends on hearty CONGO between Russia
and England. The power ofRussia by land to act
on these countries, and Of England by sea,
since she holds the means of cutting off Turkey
in Europe from her A8iario provinces and
supplies, is so great, that united, they are
resistless. The concord Of England and Rus
STA could hardly fail to be accompanied by the
support of Germany, France, and Italy, Italy,
which cannot but sympathise with the move
ment to suppress a regime infinitely more wick
ed than that Of Naples at its worse had ever
been. The speech was not a hustings speech,
nor a House of Commons speech, but the popu-
lar rendering of the aim of a statesman who
is free of the embarrassments Of Office and Of
the hope o%fofice, and can give his council frank
ly, in words Ineligible at once to the diploma
lists and to the multitude.

have no doubt a right to such repatriation az it
is now possible to make. They have also the
undoubted right to the signal, conspicuous. and
exemplary punishment of those who have been
the offenders; and I think they may claim, in one
manner or the other, that we should take steps
suoh as should prevent the occurrence ofsimilar
actions" That would be satisfactory enough.
If it stood alone. Unfortunately, it stands
close to the remark that the only really efeo-
tive remedy for Bosnia and Herzegovina, -ad-
ministrative separation from Turkey.-appears
practically unavoidable, and that Lord Derby
will never be quack enough to sanction what
seems to him practically unworkable. The
speech had a oowed and bewildered ring
in it.
The Porte has at last, it seems, ordered the
trial and punishment Of the Pashas concerned
in the Bulgarian massaores,- result which
the least perempt0riness on Lord Derby's part
would have brought about ten weeks ago. All
the popular pressure in the world will produce
no effect during the long vacation, If Govern
ment refuse to summon Parliament in the hope
that the wave Of feeling will subside before
February. There is in our Constitution no
provision for giving effect to the popular will,
however strongly manifested, between August

English people Is constitutiOnally paralysed.
There Is no reliable news of the negotiations
for peace. The Porte has, it is said, declined
the armistioe, but minated its readiness to
make peace, and to permit " suspension Of
h0stilities'' during the negotiations for peace.
This is very like accepting in effect an armis-
tice of underlined duration, terninable by notice
at any time, instead of one of defined duration.
But there seems little probability of agree
ment as to the terms of peace. If we may
believe the reports, the new Sultan, Abdul
Hamid, is more pacific than his Ministers. 1t
is said that he has already rebuked them pretty
sternly for past mismanagement, and has declar.
ed his wish TO give Europe a guarantee OF bis
sincere desire for an understanding with its
Governments, and fer a just treatment of the
Christians. Still, no terms of peace seem to
be talked Of which even propose autonomy
for Bosnia and the Herzegovina, and the terms
of peace discussed for Servia all contemplate a
drawing of Servia's teeth, that is, fresh guaran-
tees to be given by Servia for her military
helplessness or more complete dependence on
her Suzerain. The Intervention Of Russia
would probably prevent a peace of that kind
but the intervention of Russia, unless England
and Russia come-as they ought to do-to q
cordial understanding, would doubtless mean
a European war.

Tho American Republicans have been sue

elected the present Governor they have So
cured all the five Congressional seats, and they
have obtained a majority III tho State LegisIa-
ture, thus assuring the return Of Mr.. Blaine to
the United States Senate. Their victory has,
therefore, been complete, and it has been won
by an increased majority. Too much impor-
lance must not be attached to the latter fact,
however, for the comparison is with 1874,
and there is always a heavier vote cast when a
Presidential contest is to be decided. Still
the victory itself, following that in Vermont,
seems to Indicate that the Democratic reaction
has spent itself, at least in New England, and
that in November the Republicans will go to

hold. One day, as she had long been in
need of money wherewith to purchase
q new dress, she told her Jimmy OF it.,
and he referred her to his mother, who,
on her part, thought it piece of auda-
city, but finally consented to give her
the sum of fifty cents! This was the
last straw on the camel's back. A row
ensued; brooms and pokers flew round
the room in quick succession, and the
mother in law took Jimmy's wife gently
by the hair, and with dishcloth mildly
endeavored to persuade her that it was
wrong to be 80 naughty. But the scene
suddenly changed. The poor wife seized
poker, and in very short time cleared
the house, mistress OF the situation at
last. The vanquished were shortly re-
admitted; and when Jimmy came home
in the evening q council of three was
held to decide on future proceedings.
The plucky little woman had a big
brother, an awful big brother, it seems,
and they were sure after what had hap

and his brothers threw up their situa-
tons, and the last seen of the whole
family was when they were on their way
to the railway station to "seek fields new
and pastures green" where poor Jimmy
might again take unto himself partner
in his joys and sorrows, and live in
peace and happiness all the rest Of his
days.-Danbuy News.

New Feature In Life Insurance.

We are pleased to learn that new plan OF Life
Insurance has been devised by which all kinds
Of policies mature and the full amount OF the in
surance becomes payable to the insured during
their life time. The Mutual Benefit Life lnsur-
ance Company, of Newark, N. j., one OF the old
est and most substantial life institutions in the
country, with assets Of over $3l 100000 has
originated and adopted new PLAN known as the
"Accelerative Endowment Plan" which pro-
poses that instead OF using the dividends in re.
duction of the annual premium, the insured
may at his discretion pay his premiums in full
in cash and surrender his dividends to the Com
pany. In consideration Of this surrender, the
Company will agree to pay the sum assured
when the policy holder shall have attained GER
tain age, or at his previous DEATH instead OF at
death only, thus enabling him to procure an
Endowment Policy at the usual rates charged
for policies payable ut death only.
The plan is intended to meet the wants OF
those who wish protection for their dependents
in case Of premature DEATH and at the same
time to make wise provision for themselves Ill
the event of surviving the productive period OF
life, and seems to commend itself to the insur-
ing public, and more especially so when the
very high standing and pure mutually OF the
Company is considered. Parties desiring fur
ther information relative to the Accelerative
Endowment Plan" of the Mutual Benefit, can
do so by corresponding with Mr.. james Mum

A MURDER DISCLOSED IN A DREAM

A MURDER DISCLOSED IN A DREAM
Isaac Randolph, the negro who MUIR
dered his wife at New Haven in the
Spring of 1856, gives notice that he
will apply to the next Legislature for a
release from the State Prison, to which
he was sentenced for life. The murder
created a great sensation, and the story
of it is very interesting. He killed the
woman with wash-board during a
quarrel, and probably did not intend to
strike the fatal blow. After the murder,
Randolph cut the body up and buried,
it in his garden, planting corn and
beans over the spot. Several days after,
Robert Coe, the father of the missing
woman, related with great impressive
ness the particulars of dream which
he had on three successive nights. He
said that Mary Ann came to him crawl
ing on her hands, and when he asked
her why she did not walk, she replied
that she could not, for her legs had been
cut off. Each night she appeared to
him on the borders of o small brook
which then ran at the foot of the gar
den. At last the garden was examined,
and the body was found.-Sprimfeld

DEATH.-There never was q more strik-

man than here in Boston, when the
news came of Washington death (1799).
1t was little before noon; and I often
heard persons say at the time that one
could know how far the news had spread
by the closing of the shops. Each man,
when he heard that Washington was
dead, shut his store as matter of
course, without consultation. and in
two hours all business was stopped. My
father came home and could not speak,
he was so overcome; my mother was
alarmed to see him in such a state, un-
til he recovered enough to tell her the
sad news. For some time every one,
even the children, wore Grape ON their
arm; no boy could go into the street
without it. wore it, though only eight
years old.-Lifs Of George IicAnor.
