Mn. FAwcErr's new bill relating to postoilice
orders in Great Britain deserves study on this
side. 1t provides that money orders can be
made payable ut any postohce within the United
Kingdom bX being crossed either generally or
specially. IN this case they must, of course,
like checks, be presented for payment by a bank
er. on by the particular banker mentioned as
the case may be. This element of negolabihty
will be very valuable in the payment of trades
mems bills OF small amounts, where mistakes
now constantly occur in regard TO the particular
office to be named and good deal Of time is
wasted in collecting the different sums. A
shilling is the lowest sum, hah-a-croNn Is the
next, and then the scale runs with regular in
tefvals of half-a-crown up to pound. The
scale of payment is good deal lowered. At
present il is two-ponce for anything less than
ten shillings, and three-pence for anything be-
tween ten shihngs and three pounds Unde
the new bin ii is to be halfpenny for a shil-
hing, penny FOR anything between one and ten
shihugs, and twopence for larger sums. The
bill is opposed by the banking interest

AN anti-dueling association has been formed
in South Carolina, with ex-Judge Kershaw as
president. ave intend" the resolutions say,
"to train. educate, and organize the public
opinion and moral sense Of the people to a true
perception of the crminality of this wicked and
pernicious practice; to take proper measures to
procure an adjustment of all personal difficult
ties which might tend to involve any of our fell
low citizens in duel to use and enforce all
legal means of preventing our fellow citizens
from engaging in duel; to enforce the laws
against duelling in every case of their violation
hereafter occurring, whether the same shall
consist of sending, accepting, or bearing chal-
lenge of the fighting Of duel, or the counsel

THE two most important British Embassies at

men of marked ability. Lord Dunerin had but
a slight experience of diplomacy of desultory
kind. and Mr.. Goschen's name is not IN the
foreign office list 1t will seem strange to the
professional diplomatist To understand how
thorough work can be done by an amateur.
What it is to be professional diplomatist may
be seen from the record of Lord Lyons. His
services extend over forty-one years, and have
been rendered at Athens, Dresden, Florence,
Rome, Naples Washington, Constantinople, and
Paris. During this time he rose step by step
from an unpaid attacheship to his present rank,
thus acquiring an intimate knowledge OF each
successive grade uf the service.

One great repreach of modern Grim

(which pretended insanity is maintain

This was not the case in the old En-
glish system, upon which ours is found
ed. In England, Scotland, or Ireland,
fifty years ago, man actually insane,
bnt who killed another when it was
proven that the lnnatic was actuated
by revenge, which was wreaked on a
person naturally its object, would have
been hung notwithstanding luuacy on
other matters. One instance of this
kind is on record. But, in this coun-
try, at the present day, with our loose
American ideas of justice, when maud
lin sympathy interyenes, man of
sound mind and body to-day, kills
somebody tomorrow, and the NEXT slay
is held to have been crazy, and there
fore innocent of criminal intent. 1t is
. powerful excuse for jury who want
to let off the criminal anyhow.
But the greatest stretch of the Grim

the United States is exhibited m the
