The biographical account which Miss Kate
Field gives, on one of our supplement pages
to-day, of Schliemann, the explorer OF the past
is q most interesting, and in some respects, ro-
mantle story. It's full of incident, and shows us
every step of the progress of the great arch@-
olooist from the time of his boylsh dreams
that he would one day unearth the remains of
ancient Troy to the day of their strange full
fillment.

it puts the case in about this way:
The Democracy has opposed the
Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifth

further victories for States rights.
A bad record as to the past, and a

THE Louisiana Commission does
not seem TO have made much head
way toward an adjustment Of the
political difficulties sin that State
Governor Packard is the lawful
Governor Of the State, but the tax
payers are very generally in favor
Of Nichols. The latter demands an
unconditional surrender of the legal
Government TO the usurpiug Dem
oeracy. New instructions were tel
egraphed in cipher to the Commits

THE suggestion OF Gen. Banks as
compromise candidate for the
speakership is a good one, He is
admitted to have been one Of the
best speakers that ever filed the
chair, and while he was then very
ultra Republican, it was commonly
said Mt the time that he stood so
straight that he leaned backward. >
He was liberal in 1872, and that
fact ought to DO something towards
commencing him to the moderate
Democrats who may be supposed e
incline toward acting with the adj
ministration party, anu who will be
slow to vote for such n Republican
as Garfield. The Republicans will
DO wisely to put Banks forward il
they wish to secure the organization
OF the House.

nv under the name OF Griqua Land Wost
This act OF spoliation was not enough, but
boundary disputes presently arising, both in
the Orange Free state and the Transvaai, or
South African Republic, decision against
the Dutch was in each case procured, as Is
now ascertaincd. by fraud. We state but
one more point-the safety OF Europeans Ill
South Africa depends on the superiority OF
their weapons. From the start, however,
the miserable Griqua Land Government has
broken an invarable rule, and allowed free
trade In firearms, several hundred thou
sand guns and rifles having found their way
through the channel thus opened. Tho re-
suits are the dangerous outbreak In Nnhi
and the bloody war pending In the Trans
vaal, where the Beers vastly outnumDered
by enemies as well armed as themselves,
have been defeated. Hereupon their Eng
lish ncighbors in Griqua Land, panic
stricken by the consequences Of their own
folly, have been clamoring for the anncxa-
ton Of the Transvaal, hoping thus to secure
| the presence of two or three British rcgi-
mcnts. It now appears that their cry has
been heard, and tho British flag has been
unfurled over that territory.
The moment is n critical one for European
interests in South Africa, and 1t may be that
| the very existence Of the twin Holandcl
communities will hinge on the action of tn,
authorities at Cape Town. Again and agair
the English Government has hidden the
colonists protect themselves, and has re
fused to maintain larger military force
than might be needed for the defence OF on'
naval station. Confederation is the solution
OF the difficulty; but for this purpose {
skilled diplumatist is required To conciliat
conflicting prciudiccs and interests. In
stinct has led South African settlers, of al
parties and nationalitics, to tho same con
clusion, and for the last twclvcmonth

A Handy Man.

There are some things which it is handy
TO have in family; and there are some men
one can readily understand it must be very
handy to have included in gang OF burglars
and bank robbers. Such man was WILLIAM
d. Epson, who, while engineering the gang
OF which he was ono Of the principals, en-
joyed the greatest facilities, az the agent OF
wel-known manufacturer of safes, and pre-
tended expert in locks, for taking measure
ments of safes and wax impressions OF keys.
II was carrying the joke pretty far when
Epson cooly advised the directors of the
Northampton Bank to give both the com
binations TO one man. the cashier, instead Of
trusting one to boy, as they had done
heretofore; he, meanwhile, having dupl-
Gates Of the four keys, and intending all the
while to seize the cashier, and, under threats
Of violence, to compel him to disclose the
combinations, as was afterward doncl
Probably bank officers will be little more
on their guard hereafter about taking UNI
asked advice on such subjects. For a long
time to come safe men and locksmiths will
be looked upon 10y cashiers and bank direc-
tors with suspicion.
1t is most fortunate for tho community,
and especially for banking institutions
throughout the country, that not only have
two of these robbers been caught and con-
victed, but that the inside history Of the
plans and workings Of the gang has been
uncovered and exposed TO view by the re-
markablc confession Of one of their number
The rapid development Of this now branch
of criminal industry had been something
startling. Robbers gathered around bank-
like eagles about n carcass. A cashier and
his family were constantly exposed to tn,
most dreadful outrage and the most hu
initiating indgnitics
1t is to be hoped that the two men who
have been convicted will not escape through
any flaw in the proceedings. If they ar'
compelled to pay the full penalty for THEN
crime, the example may serve as n usefu
warning to others. Meanwhile the sat'
agent, so handy to have in the gang, has
proved in the end the source Of incon
venience and destruction.
