Net long ago. there died In. Great Britain
one of the most famous men that country has
produced. Brilliant, audacioqs, fertile in le-
sources, Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Beacons-
field, passed away, after a long and even,ful
career. A Queen mourned his loss, and
thousands of subjects offered heartfelt trIb-
utes to his bier HIS rise to eminence among
British statesmen has been commented upon
as wonderful; and so indeed ii was. Yet
how stands his record as contrasted with that
of ou1. dead President? Disraeli started
from the ranks of affiuence, and by nearly a
half a century of mans endeavor won the
British Premiership, a coronet and the Cal
ter. Garfield started from the home of toll,
and in a anarter &c = century had reached
the exalted gaol which any citizen in Amer
lea can obtain. His memory will be cher
shed in the hearts of his countrymen, be
cause whether on the farm, the tow-path, on
the field of battle, in the halls of legislation,
or in the Chief Magistracy Of the Nation, he
was from and of tbem.-N. Y. World.

Political Speculation.

NEW YORK, September 27.-The Hefdtds
Utica special says: 1t would be difficult to
exaggerate the intensity of feeling which
dominates the Republicans and Democrats in
relation to the State Conventions soon to be
hald in New York-in New York City OH
the 5th Of October and at Albany on the
18th. 1t really appears a certainty that
Tammany, which is ~distrusted and despised
from one end Of the State to the other, will
receive its q~uietus in Albany. Among the
Republicans the gains are on the side OF the
half-breeds, or the Garfield men as they are
being called. How 1t will end it Is difficult
to foresee ; but it is safe to say that Plat will
manage the Convention at the start. ~, =,
The Times thinks that AcVeagh's loss as a
Cabinet officer will not be irreparable.. So

cerned, while he has shown the tmost
earnestness in the work, he has left its active
prosecution to others, and a substitute for his
directing hand can be found without much
difficulty. ''.L .-..N q ..

Conspiracy Against Guiteau.

NEW YORK, September 2s.--The Hera.d's:
Washington special gives details of a con-
spiracy to kill Guiteau which existed among
the soldiers, and which was prevented by
Sergeant Mason precipitating the step. The
plan was: Some morning or evening when
the guard was relieved from duty, for the
whole party to march as near the Jail as they
could get and then 60 through some kind of
drill so as to attract Guiteau's attention, then
60 tn the form Of loading and un-
loading several times, and then on the sigral
the whole party were to let go at Guiteau.
The whole crowd firing together it would
never be known who fired the balls that took
effect. Mason heard of it in some way, and
as if to steal the credit, fired at him alone.

town, by E. R. Sprowl. The murderer at
once proceeded TO Oroville and surrendered
himself. On learning that he had Killed An,
drews he expressed the greatest emotion, and
made a full statement to the effect thatlle had
intended to kill Espey, for whom he had been
working and who had seduced his wife. Two
barrels Of a shot gun were emptied into
Andrews body. 1t appears that Espey was
warned of Sprowl's intent when some distance
from home, when he alighted leaving An
drews' to take the buggy to his house. He
claimed, however, that he warned Andrews
of danger, but the latter expressed no fear OF
Sprowl shooting him, forgetting the danger OF
a mistake owing to the darkness.

Washington Gossip.

WAsHINGgeN, September 2s.-Nulnerous
Democratic candidates for Secretary of the
Sepate have appeared, the latest being John
G. Thompson, now S~ergeant-at Arms of the
House. ,a, The Republicans, appear to be
agreed that G-orham and Riddleberger are to
be voted: tor us the Republican nominees.
Were the. Republicans capable of ~electing
they would have to be dropped, as several
Garfield Sen ators would decline TO vote for
Gorham aud others would bolt Riddleberger.
The story published yesterday that Sergeant
Mason's attempt to .shoot Gu'teau was the
result of a plot by the Second Artillery, which
furnishes the guard at the Jail, is generally
denied by both men and officers. They re-
gard Mason as a good soldier whose mind
was unsettled by NAL arial fever combined
with the prevailing excitement. 1t is be-
lieved that his trial will result in %acquittal
on the ground of temporary insanity, and his
discharge from the army. The court martial
does not meet till the 9th Of October.

Civilization and Standing Armies.

One of the most evident results OF civil
izationfn Europe seems a sort OF contradiction
in terms-f0r it is the standing army of these
later days. In old barbaric times there was
not such a thing in Europe, and now when
society prides itself upon highly civilized de
v]elopment, half the energies Of the race a.e
expended upon the production Of deadly
engines called tor by the increasing compiled
tions of modern warfare. This is the more
noticeable because all the e%nnobling posi-
billties of battle, where personal bravery or
prowess might turn lhe fortunes Of the day
are vanishing; the art has become a science
and the main Object is the invention Of
machines best calculated to cripple or kill at
the least personal risk, and mechanical
agency is continually being Increased, SO
thai hand to hand struggle is less and less a
feature of modern warfare. In short the
world is so civilized now that me weeks
fighting can leave $1,000 wounded men to re-
turn home shaft erred and disabled for the re-
mainder of their lives, who, if they had been
consulted, W 'uld certainly have prayed to be

A Yankee Horse Faucier.

a curious little story about General Grants
Arabian steeds is told by Mrs. Hooper. When
the horses were delivered to the American of.
'ficer who was deputed to represent c General
Grant, he found that through some hocus-
pocus of the employees of the Sultan's stables,
one of the horses selected had been exchang-
ed for a dismal beast, being lame and gener-
orally unsound. Our collrtryman did. not
wish to forward so wretched.a an animal to the
United States, yet, what was to be lone ? TO
refuse the Sultan's gift would have been a
deadly insult, and, besides, he had no right
to do anything Of the kind; while to find
fault with it would have been worse. FL
nalIy, a bright idea struck him. The UNI
soundh horse happened to be black, SO he sent
for the high and mighty Turkish official who
had the matter in charge, and regretfully in
formed him that though General Grant was
enchanted with the two noble steeds that
were accorded him, by the magnifcence Of
the Sultan, he would, unfortunately, be una
BILE to use the black one, as horses of that
color were only employed for funerals in
America, and TO offer or acce pit one as a gift
was held to be an exceedingly bad omen in
that country. The courteous Turk was pro-
fuse in Ills c%ivilities and apologies; the
black horse was taken away, and a sound
and handsome animal of another color was
sentin his stead. "
