meals before they were due, and he may now

much gratified at the handsome manner In
which his political opponents have treated
him since he was Frustrated. Gladstone has
not had an opportunity of referring to him in

LONDON, April 19.--Beaconsfeld died to-
night.
LONDON, April 10, 5 a. m.-Lord Beacons-
fields physicians regard his present symp-
toms as giving grounds for more grave anx-
ETY. than at any period during his illness. He
had a very serious relapse during the night
and died peacefully at 5 O'Clock this morn
ing. He was perfectly conscious to the last.
Doctors Kidd and Quain, and Lords Rowton
and Darlington were present when he eX-
PRED.
LONDON, April 1S.-Lord Beaconsheld now
has London nearly to himself, all the world
having gone into the country for the Easter
holidays. He talks a great deal every day
with Lord Rowton, and it is understood that
his private papers and the manuscript which
Lord Rowton VIII use in writing his biogra-
ply, are now in ship-shape. The private pa
pers, which will not see light until ten years
or more after his death, are said to be ex-
ceedingly interesting. His political duel
with Sir Robert Peel and the inner history
of the corn law agitation, the Crimesn war,
the Indian mutiny, the Berlin treaty and OF
events preceding it, and other prominent
features of English history during the last
forty years, are dealt with very fully. and a
food of light is thrown upon many points
now wrapped in obscurity or wholly misnn-
derStoOd.
ST. LOUIS, April 22.-HOn. Thomas Allen,
| late president of the Iron Mountain railroad
company, and congressman elect from the
Second district of this city. whose name has
been connected, in eastern newspapers, with
an alleged project looking to the conquest Of
Mexico by armed forces, under Grant, denies
Inost enphatically Of knowing anything
| about the matter. He says that the reports
are not only sensational, but silly. He has
no ~tiuancia interest IN Mexico, and thinks
the only conquest of that country, that can
or will he made, is a commercial one, by
building railroads and opening it up to trade
| aud commerce.. He knows very little of Cen
| elal Grants project in Mexico, but is entirely
| satisfied that he has no thought of an armed
| invasion, aud would be one Of the last men
in the country to favor such a scheme.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, April 22.-Tbe Rev.
Robert Mattlericks, who as is supposed was
lynched in lizard county a few days since,
| was a preacher of the ''new light" fanaticism
that prevailed in this region last year. The
enthusiastic believers in blood atonement I'M
der Maltlerick's lead had killed six Or seven
men. They murdered Thomas Miller at
Barbecue last August with a knife, but were
| captured, tried and acquitted as insane. A
| short time ago a murdered man was found in
| t~hemountains between Teiico and Baterville
| and circumstances indicated strongly to Mat
tlerick as the murderer. The community
| was greatly excited and Mattlerick's dlsap-
p~earance make it quite certain that he is also
a victim of blood atonement.

was living with them. No cause is given for
the horrible deed. The perpetrators of it are
unknown. Plumber evidently was rot the
object, as nothing in the house was disturbed.
