THE recent discovery of rich gold
field in Cariboo, British Columbia, is

New HAMPSHIRE recently adoptcda a
new Constitution, which provides for
biennial sessions of the Legislature. In
order to make easy the tradition from
the new order of things there will be
two sessions of the Legislature this
year-onc in June and one in Novem-
Der. A new U. S. Senator is to be
elected, and it has been a matter of
grave doubt ut which session he could
legally be chosen. To remove the
doubt bill has been introduced in the
National Senate specially empowering
the election at the June session. The
complication is a peculiar one, and not
likely to occur again very soon in any
Stase.
The Gar and Empress of Russia
have pleasant way of learning what the
newspapers are saying, although they
take the matter coolly and don't rush for
early editions. On the contrary, they
wait till after dinner, when, supported
by square meal, they can bear good or
evil news, with the seeming indifference
becoming to sovereignty. As soon as
the imperial family have dined, it is the
custom for the ministers to arrive at the
palace, each of whom has q number of
newspaper extracts pasted on slips of
cardboard. These are handed to the
Emperor, who reads them and then
passes them to Minister Vanonired,
whose duty it is to take them to the
apartments of the Empress and read
them to her, making suitable comments
thereon.
The securing of peace seems to be
the hardest job that Bismarck has ever
tackled. England and Russia are now
quiet, but Austriais is kicking. However,
atap on the head from Bismark will
quiet the old woman in Vienna; for she
is very much worked up about her right
to Dalmatia, that long strip of Italian
territory running down the margin of
the Adriatic and cutting off Bosnia,
Herzegovina and Montenegro from
coast privileges. Austria knows well
that her possession of Dalmatia is an
outrageous distortion of the map of
Europe, and is naturally jealous of the
advances of Russia towards the South:
hence she is the prime element of dis
cord in the pending negotiations. But
she will never get guarantee of her
right to Dalamatia: and that is the ba-
sis of her turbulence.
