most entertaining paper on Smith, which will
have peculiar interest for host Of readers
Henry James's Portrait Of a Lady needs no
commendation to the multitude who follow his

Gle on Sociology aad Hero Worship, which

essay on A Symposium Of Sixty Years Ago.

Kelly and Tilden.

The New York war is not over Mr.
butes the Democratic loss of that State to
the treachery Of Mr.. Tilden. There is a
dreadful suspicion in the minds OF Demo-
Gratis that Mr.. Kelly is right, and that their
candidate of 1876 had no wish and made no
effort for the success of the man preferred
to him by the Cincinnati Convention. With
characteristic selfishness and slyness the he
70 of the cipher dispatches seeks to cast the
blame for defeat upon the Tammany leader,
and with characteristic pugnacity Mr.. Kelly
takes up the weapons in his defence.
1t may be that Tammany sacrificed Han
cock out of revenge for the threatened defeat
of Grace. 1t can hardly be blamed if it did.
But the other view of the case is altogether
probable. Tammany had great interest in
securing the success of the man who defeat
ed Tilden in convention, and in disproving
the assertion of the Tildenites that Tilden
was the only man who could carry New
York. The object of Mr.. Tilden's friends.
on the contrary, was to make their assertion
good. The probability is greatly strength
ened by the relative figures of the Democrat
ic vote in the city and the rural districts
quoted BY Kelly. Democratic losses are
found in the Tilden strongholds. The Tam
many districts show percentage of gain.
If a bargain was made by the Republicans
with Kelly it certainly has not been carried
out, for in the late contest over the Control
lership, the Republicans were found acting
with Irving Hall. Under the circumstances
Mr.. Kelly may be excused from taking the
part of the Scape-goat even if by the refusal
the goings-on of the Tilden managers. are
impeded. ~ .

The Philadelphia Press has this to say
about the ancestry of the Bayards of Della
ware: In commenting upon the unfortu-
nate predicament In which the Delaware
Senator has succeeded in plunging himself
some of our esteemed Democratic contempo-
raries repeat the popular error that the Del
aware Bayards and Thomas Francis, the
fourth member of the family who has occu-
pied seat in the Senate, are descendants
Of the noble French knight whose honor and
gallantry won for him the title Of the chera-
Tier sans peur ct sans reproche. This is al
most as ludicrous an error as that made by
the same journals during the recent can
vass for the Presidency when they figured it
out TO their satisfaction that General Han
cock was direct descendant of John Han
cock, whose bold and striking autograph is
appended to the Declaration of Indepen-
dence. The Delaware Bayards are of an
cient las far as America is concerned) and
honorable lineage, but Pierre du Terrail,
''the good knight" was not their ancestor.
In fact, his name was not Bayard at all, but
du Terrail. The Bayard was part of his til
tie, and was derived from his birthplace and
his family's estate. The Bayards, as such,
were probably retainers or vassals who took
their name from the fief to which they were
attached. Nicholas Bayard, the ancestor of
the American family of that name, was a
Huguenot refugee and brother-in-law of Pc
ter Stuyvesant, the last Dutch Governor of
New York, who landed in America in 1647.

The shooting between the Boston Herald
and the Boston Pilot is amusing to those
of us out of range. The Pilot is terribly In

they may be. The Herald discusses the

DETROIT Post: Some persons oppose
funding the maturing debt, urging that
when the debt is funded it is put out of the
power of the government to pay it with any
surplus revenue it may have. To guard
against this the funding bill provides for the
issue Of $500, ,oO0, 600 interest bearing treas
ury notes redeemable at intervals during the
next ten years. Thus all the probable sur
plus revenue is provided for. The new
debt will be put in shape that the surplus
revenue, as fast as it is collected, can be
promptly used in redeeming it. At the end
OF ten years another large batch of bonds
will be due. So that there is no possible
danger, through this funding bill of putting
the public debt in such position that the
surplus revenue can not be applied to its ex-

pondent says: Several weeks since the
American Minister at Vienna sent here fol
signatures to the detailed commercial
treaty between the United States and
Roumania. The Government was some
what surprised at this most uncerlnonious
method O.. treaty making, and as the Rou.
manians have all the oriental affection oi
negotiations, they were utterly unprepared
to sign document which had never been
duly haggled over in the most approved
eastern fashion. Their newly fedged
national dignity was ruflled by the idea
that the Americans proposed TO accom-.
plish in brief correspondence what Eng.
lands representative had been unable TO
do in year. The absence OF any Ameri

LONDON, April 5.-The Time,, referring
to the situation in Afghanistan, says: In
India, as here, something like an interreg.
mum must prevail until the impending
changes have been made. Lord Lytton,
viceroy, has been so entirely identified
with the present Government and has so
fully committed himself to its plans that
his prolonged term Of Office is as little
possible as 1t is desirable, the only doubt
being as TO whether he will wait to be re-
called or will anticipate by his own act q
result he can scarcely hope to avoid. The
name OF Lord Northbrook, formerly Gov
ernor General OF India, suggests itself as
Lord Lytton's successor, but Lord North
brook does not wish to return to his old
post. There is less. room for doubt re-
garding the instructions which the new
Viceroy will take with him. Peace will
be made with the least possible disturb
ance Of our relations with Afghanistan.
II our lines must at any point be advanced
Il Is as likely there must be some annexa-
ton OF territory. What is done will be
done with sole view to the safety Of
India. We shall hear no more Of the pro.
jected cession OF Herat to Persia and OF

CHICAGO.


CHICAGO, April s.-The grain markets
have been pretty steady; heavy supplies
and moderate continental demand causing
the bulls to pause, and slackening receipts,
with; diminishing stocks in store, being
the principalinanences which encouraged
the bulls. The splendid weather, which
will be most favorable to farmers II 1t con-
tlnucs, and which has already been uti-
lized by them to some extent, has proven
a good card also for the low rates to which
all classes Of grain have fallen. Wheat is
now about 2Sc lower than during the high
eat prices, last winter. Corn is 14c lower
than then and 1c lower than a year ago
this time. Oats are 10c lower than late in
the winter, although 10c higher than .
wear ago. Wheat receipts are very small,
and Corn Is falling of, while shipments
are beginning to be made on mammoth
scale, over 1000 900 bushels having left
here during the week, depicting the. stock
In store nearly million bushels. The
opening OF navigation bids fair TO send oil
grain out very rapidly.
sProyisions have been alternately strong
and weak, the closing prices being firm.
Receipts Of hogs have diminished mater
ially, ind prices are very firm.
! There are two riddles propounded by
the,bnlls, which have not yet been sue
eessiully solved First-Why isitthat, with
a shipping margin at 12c to l4u, not more
corn Is forwarded to Liverpool? Second
How are packers. going o make money
on hogs packed at from 81 20 to p when
they sell the pork at Sl0'5O per Dbl, aud

claim that pork ought now to be Sl4 pei
Dbl to remunerate packers, and that corn
might be l0c flower In Liverpool without
affecting the markets OF America.

although he might have q good deal to soy
