The President has accepted Mr.. Mac.
veaRhs resignation, and the latter has taken
formal leave of the department. The solicit
tor-general will be the acting Attorney Gen
eral until the vacancy is filled. Meanwhile
another trial--it is not great trial in
which the government is the plaintiff, has
begun at Washington, and has been injured
by some highly unwelcome incidents. For
the latter the government is not responsible.
although the presiding judge is clearly re-
sponsible for the behavior Of all persons in
his courtroom, and particularly for the pro-
per management Of the prisoner. The pris-
oner tries to act the part of a lunatic, the
prize being his escape from the gallows. But
such case should not prevent the servants
of the court from keeping their prisoner
quiet. The beginning of this Washington
trial for murder does not add to the solemn
majesty of the law.

proposed to send the Coup show to Europe
and travel it there for the ensuing three
years. The ForepauRh concern will be kept
in this country. and will be run under its
original name. Performers are said to be

the reason that it will have an important

brilliant elimination. No other but Bailey
would have dreamed Of such thing ~ the

quently happens that many times
persons want to refer to papers of a

q matter of much qualification and
benefit, to settle some question of
dispute, or to recall some fact pre-.
clsely, to be able to do SO. Allpersons
should carefully file the papers they
take. 1t is done without expense
and a tritie's cost of trouble. When
a paper has been perused, put it on
a flea single small stick, a little
longer than the paper, with a cord
attached to each end to hang by, is
suhcient-and then hang it in some
convenient place. The papers thus
go on in regular order, and any date
required may be found in q moments
time. Save the papers.
