French journals contain accounts of
terrible accident which occurred at The
railway station of Scelin. A Young
man named August Provost opened the
door of his carriage and got oil on the
side of the other track. lie had hardly
got on the track when an express train
from Paris swept by with lightning ra-
pidity and literally reduced hm to
atoms. The largest piece found OF his
body was foot. The heart was found
on the road torn from the breast and
still beating. The fragments were col
lectod and as far as possible restored to
their proper place, the body being
thereupon taken to the hospital OF
Seclin for Identification. His wife and
brother-in-law, suspectng that he
might be the victim, clme to inspect
the body, but it was impossible to dis
tinguish his features. His dog was
then sent for, who, as soon as he was
brought in presence of the body, set up
a most dismal howl and began to lick
the bloody remains of his master. The
man was father of six children.

THE mANaL1se OF THE CODES.

Among the many good things prophesied
by the advocates of the new Constitution
was simpli6cation of legislation. Under
the new system we were to have no new
laws but such as were absolutely necessary,
and the sixty day sessions of the Legisla-
ture were to be almost too long for the
work to be done. The Legislature has now
been in session little more than two
weeks, and already some four hundred bills
have been introduced, while the stream of
legislation continues undiminished. A
very large proportion Of this consists in
proposed amendments to the Codes, and of
these amendments it is safe to assert that
four-ffths are either unnecessary or inju-
-dicious. So constant is this tinkering of
the Codes, however, despite all predic-
tions, that the State has already lost all
benefit from their compilation, and no
lawyer or Judge can ascertain from year
to year what the law Is on any question
withoutthe mostlaborious research. In con-
seqsenceo of this piecemeal method of amend
ment, moreover, there is no longer any
guiding principle in the various depart
ments of the law. Changes are introduced
from the most various motives and for the
most various purposes. Whoever has an
ak to grind. notion to air, crudity to

THE IRIsH QUESTION.

The Irish members in the House Of
Commons have just had a battle-royal
with the Government, and no doubt they
thoroughly enjoyed the sorimmage, though
what they expect to gain by their present
course it is difficult to perceive. They
have adhered for nearly two weeks to a
policy of inveterate obstruction. They have
consequently prevented the Government
from proceeding with its legislative pro-
gramme, and so have retarded the intro
duction Of the new Irish land BILL If they
really desire to see the land question settled
this is not the way to manifest their
wishes. So far as can be gathered from
their actual doings they are merely bent on
hiudering governmental action of any
kind. This is an anarchic and chaotic
policy, differing in no essential from that
of the Russian Nihilists. OF course
they understand perfectly that they
will not be permitted to dictate the char
acser of the legislation had in regard to
ireland, but they mus. also be aware that
Mr.. Gladstone is very much the friend of
their country, and that by obstructing his
course they are only rendering it more
nrobable that the English people viii be-
come impatient of the present Govern
ment's scrupulous moderation. and by put
ting the Tories in power again destroy
all present prospect of relief and reform.
That ia what the Parnellites appear to be
working for, and under the circumstances
# is not surprising that some Of their col
leagues should have refused to proceed any
further with them in their course OF OBJ
structiveness.

WEST POINT AND THE NEGRO.

The report of the Congressional Com
mittee on West Point and the Whitaker
case contains nothing new or striking, but
it shows the difficulty of dealing with ths
question involved. The committee are
satisfied that the colored cadets have a.
bored under very serious disabilities owing
to their isolation but they cannot suggest
any way of remedying this, unless their
proposal for raising the standard of aduis-
sion is intended to meet it by excluding
co.ored applicants, They think that it is
great pity the colored cadets should be
ostracized. but that nothing but time and
patience will change this. Precisely.
When colored men and women are admit.
ted to social equality with white men and
women it will be time enough to look for a
similar recognition of equal social rights
among white boys. Some of the members
express an opinion that it would be
better to abolish the school than to allow
the present condition of things to 90 on.
We cannot see the force Of this position.
1t is simply absurd to expect higher civil
ization from the boys than from the grown
men, in the first place And it would be
puerie to abolish West Point because it
was not ahead of the rest of the country
in liberality of ideas aud of practice. Per.
haps the best course would be for the col
ored people to recognize the insoluble
nature of the problem, and to refrain, for
some time to come, from seeking admis-
sion5 to West Point II they insist on ad-
mission of course they have right to do
SO, but it is questionable whether the col
ored lads who graduate from that place are
not really spoiled for life by the martyr
dom they are compelled TO undergo there.

urge. puts it in the form of an amendment
to the Codes, and as scarcely anybody can
take the time and trouble to ascertain
precisely what these amendments mean,
great number OF them slip through every
session. To have Codes at all while such
a method of legislation obtains is an ab-
surdity. It is like calling in an architect
to draw the plans Of a house, and then allow
ing every member of the family to alter
the plans according to his or her whin and
caprice. We are proceeding from confu-
sion to confusion in this regard, and unless
some serious effort is made to check the
food of Code amendments we shall in a
short time be very much worse off than we
were before the codifcation was made.
