By the present law for the settle
ment of the State railroad bonds, Mr..
Chamberlian's claim can be sc tied for
fifty cents on dollar. Suppose BY
the refusal Of the people to accept the
terms, he should dispair Of ever re-
ceiving his pay. When he believes
that the promises Of the State, which
be holds to the amount Of almost a
million dollars Of principal, will never
be worth cent to him or to his heirs,
what will he do? What would any
repudiator do in his case?
He knows that If the State could lie
sued on the bonds they would DO col.
lected at their face value, with seven
per cent interest. He knows, also,
that though he and his heirs cannot
sue. any State Of the Union to whom
he should give or devise his claim
could sue and recover the whole. A
gift Of two million dollars-the inter-
st..now exceeds the principal-would
be worth sueing for. Any State
would willingly accept the grant for
one Of her educational or charitable
institutions and collect the entire
amount Massachusetts, would like it
for Harvard college. And how it
would sweeten the toll with which We
should pay the whole amount to 70.

Russell's Patent Force Pump.

Mr.. 8. J. Russell has been here this weeh
showing to the public his new Force Pump
The opinion in regard to it, among those
who are best qualified to judge, is that il
is the best pump they ever saw. The ex.
hibition Of its merits has certainly beer
very satisfactory. The pump, standing in
the middle of the street, threw water owe,
McMillan's Store, and four feet higher than
the building, through a half-!nch nozzle,
A much greater altitude. and distance,
could be attained by using smaller noz.
Gle. The pump is very easily worked, is
simple in its construction, having nothing
that can get ont of order and. as no water
stands in the pipes, cannot freeze. The
last named merit commends it to people in
this latitude. It is worked by crank
with a ''cam" movement. It is exclusive
ly "Force" pump, the. cylinders being at
the bottom of the we'll. No valves are
use d in the construction and no suction en-.
tiers into the principles on which it is con-
structed, Mr.. Russell claims that it will
work revolution in the pump business,
that no suction pump will ever be sold
where this is introduced, and it looks to US
as il he was right.
There are four sizes that are being manu-
featured at the shops in st. Paul.
No. /. For common house use, for we'll
or cistern. capacity from IL to Is gallons
per minute.
No. 2. For farm purposes where . large
amount Of water is required for stock, wa
tering gardens, &C., capacity from 20 to 40
gallons per minute.
No. 8. For common sized towns where
they have no fire engines. This size is ar
ranged with two cranks to be used if neces
sary in case Of fire. with hose attached, for
forcing water long distance and on top Of
the highest buildings. Capacity from 40
to 60 gallons per minute.
No. 4. Is exclusively power pump for
railroad and reservoir purposes, Capacity
according to the amount Of power used.

HERR Won BUNsEN, a member of the Ger
man Reichstag, has contributed to the Nine
teenth Century an article which is attracting
great attention, because it defines the atti
tude Germany would assume in case England
should acquire or seek to acquire possession
Ct Egypt. He assumes that Germany has no
immediate interest in the Danube or in Rus
sia's access to the Mediterranean; that France
and Italy will never involve the risk of a
European war to oppose Russian progress !:
and that Austro-Hungary is acting upon Ger
man suggestions. So far as England is con-
cerned, he says: "Glven your occupation of
the Isthmus of Suez and Lower Egypt, which
are ports OF the Turkish Empire, you could not
object with much force to such demands A.
the annexation Of Armenia or the freedom
OF the Dardanelles for her own war.ships as
well as those of other nations" OF course it
is to be inferred from this that Germany
would have no objection to such an occupa-
tion. A still more remarkable feature of this
paper is the emphatic manner in which he
declares Germany to be the friend of Russia.
not only on account of tine intimacy of the
two soveregns, but also for "the forbearanca

THE London Times prints the letter of
correspondent, who, responding to General
Grants remark at Inverness about the friend
ship which should subsst between the United
States and England, improves the occasion to
suggest that if the Americans would only
turn over the surplus of the Alabama indem-
nifty to the relief OF the famine-stricken ma
tives tof India, sit would be an act which
would never be forgotten by this country,
and would Increase manifold the present
growing friendship of the two nations. The
Americans themselves" he adds "would also.
doubt not, experience more pleasure in Civ
ing than in retaining, and certainly more ad-
vantage every way as nation than could
possibly be derived by using it for purposes of
their own.'' The Times evidently does not
share its correspondents high idea of Amer
lean magnanimity, and significantly heads the
letter with the words Exceedingly likelyg'
which, as Artemus Ward would say, is 'ssar-
kastical." 1t is pretty certain, however, that
the correspondent, rather than the Times. ex-
presses the feeling of the English people con-
corning the Americans. There is an increas-
ing belief over there that the people of the
United States mean to do the just and fair
thing in the matter of the balance declared
after payment OF all legitimate claims for the
Alabama depredations, and there would be
considerable disappointment if it should
prove otherwise.
