executed, and that it had been already
partly carried into effect. In this way
Lord Beaconsfield makes a specious defence
of his Administration, but he takes care not
to grapple with the strong arguments put for
ward by Lord Laurence and MIR. Gladstone
against the contemplated Afghan war, nor to
explain how the decline of Turkey can DC
ayerted even after the Berlin agreement has
been fulfilled. The Treaty of Paris was exc

Mr.. Andrew Banks, of Baltimore who was
said by Controller Cowgirl to have offered him
ANYTHING he wanted in the way OF once or
money, if he would give Florida to Illden, Is
clearly a kindred spirit with Smith Weed
and Pelton and Marble. Mr.. CowgIlFs
letter charged Nlr. Banks with making
shameful proposition of bribery. Mr.. Banks
has read the letter, but is so accustomed to
accusations of shameful crimes, apparently
that this slight circumstance has made
no impression ON him. lie really can
not remember whether he made any
such proposition or not. But please no.
tice that he does not venture to deny
having made it. Indeed, he has not reau
the letter carefully, and will look it over
again. The only thing he is sure about is that
it was highly improper in Mr.. Cowgirl to write
such a letter-and we have no doubt
that Mr. Banks sincerely thinks so. The
effrontery of all these men is amaz-
ing. Mr.. Banks pretending not to have
read with care II letter covering him with
disgrace is almost the equal of Smith Weed,
who, when asked the other day whether he
had anything to say with reference to the new
disclosure that he and Colonel Pelton met In
Baltimore apparently to transfer the brlbe-
money, replied, with a cheerful smile
"NOthing, absolutely nothing !" Could
any confession be more convincing 7

That Democratic majority in the House has
dWindled now to three votes. 1t may turn out
10 be pretty good Republican House yet.
The first meeting of Francis MurDhy's tenn
perance campaign was held yesterday. The
success that attended it indicates that this
earnest worker will soon need more ample ac-
commodatiOns, which have already been ten
dered him, for his daily gatherings.
If there is good ground for the charges
against the Sheriff. County Clerk and Register,
they can be pressed now with entire propriety
when the campaign has come to an end, and
the movement will have more Of the look of re-
form and less of politics. The report OF the
committee of tue Bar Association will be
awaited with great interest, because if that
association takes charge of the inquiry, it will
be removed beyond the suspicion of personal
or political motives.
We have story to-day Of another person
whom it was attempted to draw into the
Florida intrigue. He had done bank

had been brought into close relations with
them, and was asked to go down there and

somebody pulled the wire in the hope of
making him dance. Dear, dear To think

AS the silver question has compelled the
fequent use of the word "grain," it may be
interesting to some to learn the origin of
the term as applied to weights. A grain is
the unit of the system of weights prevailing
in the United Stares and Great Britain. In
the reign of Henry I'LL, 1885, statue was
enacted 'that 80 grains of wheat from the
middle of the ear, well dried, should weigh
pennyweight, of which 20 should go to
the ounce;" but finally the pennyweight
came to be divided into "a grains.

Another lucky escape from burial alive
has occurred in Paris in the case of a LAWYER
named Lelone. His son, summoned to his
deathbed, found him, as it was supposed,
dead, kissed his brow, and was surprised
at its warmth. Some hours later he revived
and said: ''Ah, doctor, these few moments
sleep have done me world of good" The
French laws require that interment shall
follow death within at most thirty-six
hours, and thus it often happens that burial
takes place previous to putrefaction 1t
was against this limited time imposed by
the burial bill that an eminent prelate so
powerfully protected in the French Cham

rial takes place much too soon. In England
