The other members belong chiefly to the nobility and the official class. They are animated with intense hatred of Nihilism, and are determined to use even assaseination to crush 1t.

The story of s. A. Butler, now going the rounds, reads like romance. He is a negro reared in the United States, being the son of a preaefser in Washington. He was educated in Paris, and became master of the French, German and Italian languages. Attracting
 Anson Burlingame,s attention he made him his private secretary when appointed minis ter to China. Not fofg after Butler left the service of the embassy yaEsd ,hela positions in one of the great American trading houses, and later with the Shanghai Navigation com pany Finally ths steamers of the company were bought by number of Chinese, mer- chants, who took Butler into their employ and gave him full authority to reorganize the steam service as he thought best. Butler fully vindicated the confidence reposed in him, and managed the affairs of the com pany so judiciously that at the end of two years it had gained net profit of $1 ,b0O, ,000, with every indication of heavy diviaepds in the future. The company now owls thirty.

''Tal1 oaks from little acorns grow" and the editor of the Bridgeport Standard tells how casual conversation in Bridgeport led to the breaking up of the Tweed ring. As the story is told, a MT. Jacob Kiefer in con- versation with an editor of the Standard stated fact, which the latter, some months afterward, mentioned to 8 New York news- paper reporter. On the strength of this in- formation the reporter wrote a question which was printed in the New York Times, asking if enormous stealings were not being perpetrated by Tweed and his ring This question brought one of the clerks in the New York Controllers office to the editor of the Tunes with the offer to disclose the whole inquiry, and thus those developments were made which astounded the New Workers for although everybody knew before that Tweed and his associate thieves were steal ing from the city by the bushel, they had not dreamed they were taking greenbacks by the cart load.

Governor PiIIsbury of Minnesota has no sympathy with the attempt to repudiate the State debt The act of the Legislature which virtually declared the old bonds worth less has been pronounced by the Supreme Court unconstitutional and the Governor has appealed to the Legislature now in ses- sion to deal honestly with the helpless credit ors of the State. He says in the conclusion of his special message: '.Unless, therefore, the pending settlement be now completed, we shall be confronted with the cold choice be- tween total payment and naked repudiation. Dare we contemplate this final alternative for the enduring welfare of the fair State we have chosen for our home As we would justly share in that national heritage of financial honor which is the wonder of the world-that we may deserve the reward of a generous prosperity, and invoke the blessings of Almighty God-I entreat you,a 8 parting word, to perform single act of justice which shall forever put at rest the haunting spectre of repudiation, and place our young commonwealth irrevocably in the sisterhood of honorable States" It will be well for the reputation of Minnesota if her legislators heed these earnest words.

The recent activity in Confederate bonds remains puzzle. The New Orleans Times says: 1.-The Southern people do not indulge in the slightest dream that the Confederate debt will ever be paid by anybody. They have to 8 very great extent thrown away as worthless or otherwise lost possession of their Confederate bonds, and they certainly have no desire to increase the burden of tax ation to pay them to strangers, even if such thing were possible, which it is not while the people of the Northern States are in such an enormous majority Without doubt, the Confederate bonds are thoroughly worthless, in spite of all efforts to give them momen- tary and fictitious value."
