VARIOUS TOPICS.

GEN. LoRING (Pasha) says that the
ex-Khedive was very much surprised
when England paid the Alabama claims;
it persuaded him that no country in the
world so fearlessly held England respon,

Thereupon he imagined that American
friendship might avail him something,

THE Swiss government carries on a
great coaching business, but at serious
loss. In 1876 it owned 1898 convey
snces, estimated AT about $500, 900, and
the total net loss in this branch of the
public service was over $4,000. The
number or passengers conveyed was L.
$780, 03, Of whom 27S,SS4 travelled on
what are known as Alpine and tourist
routes. A notion of the great increase
in Swiss travelling Of late years may be
formed from the fact that the passengers
forwarded by post in 1852 are given at
570,l04, in which figures travellers by
rail are not included Great economies
have resulted ia dim aished loss to the
department in the past two years, the

extract from the Philadelphia North
1mercdn OF Saturday, the acknowl-
edged organ of the Republican party of
Pennsylvania. The North american
says:
The Republicans Of Maine must re-
spect the constituted authorities. 1t is
too late to question the title of Governor
GaIcelon, though he confesses that it is
qtl. stionable. Whatever happens, the
Republicans must respect the law and its
administrators, and 50 keep right OF
their side. We do not say that right il
not worth fighting for, but only tha
some wrongs right themselves, and cal

MIR. BLAINE's BULLYING DESoUNC-
ED.--The New York Herald to-day is
very severe on Mr.. Blaine for encourag.
ing resistance aud bloodshed in Maine
1t says:
Gin the despatch from Augusta which
we published yesterday there was re-
peated the statement of an ear witness
who bad listened TO recent conversa-
tions of Mr.. Blaine in which the Sena-
tor declared his approval of forcible re-
| sstance in the last resort. A Senator Of
the United States has no right to use
such language, even IN private confer
ences with his political friends. We
can make allowance for the hysterical
bravado of country parsons who know
nothing of life beyond the narrow pre-
cincts of their little towns; but Sena.
tor Blame has seen too much of the
orld to tall into their delusions."
The Herald urges a peaceful solution
of the difficulty through the courts. i
says:
eff the Court should affirm Governo
Garcelon's opinion that the action q
himself and Council was in pursuanc
of imperative law, which left them n
discretiod, the republicans will see tina
they have no case and there will be n
further talk of violence. If, on the othe
: hand, the Court should hold that I'll
Governor and Council misunderstood
g the law, there will be opened to Il
Governor an easy and honorable retire
from an untenable position.
"a The terrible blow given by the deci
40 ion Of seven to eight, has frightful {
f. feet now, when the Courts are called I
to decide.
