A GENTLEMAN residing in st. Louis has
hately had sent him by a friend from Cal
tifornia two beans resembling in shape a
fbeech-nut, which are possessed with re-
markable power Of animation which they
show in advancing, retreating, and turn
ing somersauIts. Their antics are indeed
wonderful TO witness. They are known
in the state from whence they came as
the jumping bean. He keeps them in a
small box, and if left at night in the
bedroom upon a table they make such a
racket he is obliged to shut them up in a
drawer 50 he aDsleep.
THE only comment Seward made on

g Well, power has departed from the
Atlantic States, to rest hereafter in the
Mississippi Valley" Recalling this, the
New York Commercial Advertiser asks
mournfully: Have not the events of
the last fifteen years made Mr.. Stewards
prophecy true? What do we sect Presi-
dent, Vice President, Chief Justice, and
all the chainnen Of the late leading com

The European situation is not as prom
Using as many journalists and correspon-
dents would like. It is believed by
many that the failure Of Turkey to sub
due the Herzegovinians viii result in an
Austrian and Russian invasion, in the
alleged interest Of peace. Once within
the provinces, they will not 60 out, and
Turkey will be curtailed in her domin-
ions. If this happens, other Turkish de-
pendencies where the Christian popula-
tion is large, win rebel, and thus the
partition Of the empire be effected.
Should Turkey declare war against the.n-
vaders, other great powers besides ti,e.se
directly attacked could hardly keep out
of the fray. The English purchase Of
the Suez canal stock looks like resolve

Is most important precaution against
any Russian movements toward Hindoo-

break of war might suggest. We can
not fully believe the prediction Of the
London correspondent Of the Toronto
Globe, that a war over the eastern cues
tion will certainly break out during the
coming year, but the sky is not wholly

THE mystery which has from the first
surrounded the explosion of dynamite
ON the quay at Bremen grows denser With
every new dispatch concerning it. The
confession of the suicide Thompson has
not been born cut by the facts yet dis
severed A careful search of the cargo
of the ship Ssslier has resulted in the dis
covery that there are no cases of dvna-
mite on board that vessel, as Thompson
asserted that there were. Stranger still.
investigation utterly fails 10 confirm his
assertion that improper insurance had
been effected upon the cargo of the
Mosel, and hence the motive which he
said actuated him in seeking to destroy
the steamship appears never to have ex
;sted at all. There is every reason to
suapose. therefore, that the confession. 80
Car at least as its details are concerned,
was simply the rawlings Of an insane
man. Yet the fact that the dynamite
was on the quay ready for shipment re-
mains. and there can be no doubt that
Thompson meant to destroy the AEosel,
although there seems to have been no
native whatever for the crime other than
