THE trial of the assassins who LEES than a
year ago murdered Under-Secretary Burke
aud Lord Csvendish in the Ptenix Park,
Dublin, is a sad spectacle for patriotic Irish
men and all who wish the long-sufferiug
islanders well. 1t is sad because OF the con-
fssson made that assassination has been or
gained az one Of the methods essential to
Irish freedom, and because the "infoImer,"
who, sooner or later, comes TO the front in
all national movements in Ireland, is The

RIVERS AND HARsORs.

THE APPROPRIATION BILL PRACTICALLY COM
PLETED BY THE COMMERCE COMMITTEE.
WAsHINGToN, February 6.-The House
Committee on Commerce has practically
com pleted the river and haroor bill, though
some matters of detail and arrangement still
remain, and the items for the Mississippi
river will not be finally fixed in the bill in
advance of the receipt OF the report Of the
special Mississippi River Committee. The
Commerce Commiltse has carefully exam
ined each of the ninety items objected TO in
the report of the Secretary of War concerning
last years river and harbor bill, and in some
cases has recommended appropriations for
the same objects. The committee do not
make any recommendations for beginning
new works, but all are for money to carry
forward improvements on which the govern
ment has already expended large sums, as,
for instaucs, the harbors of Baltimore, Sa-
yannab, Charleston, oakland and such other
points as appear from the engineers reports
to demand appropriations. With the excep-
ton of the Mississippi improvement g,
amounts recommended do not exceed thirty
per cent. Of the engineers estimates. The
whole amount called for by the bill will be
about $6,O00,090, exclusive OF the Missis-
ippi river appropriation.

PRoF DIMITRY, who died at his home in
New Orleans recently, was one OF the most
erudiIe and accomplished scholars 10 Amer
lea. As linguist he had no superior, ard
his studies embraced much of all there is OF
useful history in the Sanscrif, Greek and
Latin, ss well as the modern tongues. There
was scarcely a subject on which he had not
read, and in many he was profoundly versed
He was an suihority on languages, and had
given special attention 10 the evolution Of
the religious beliefs OF mankind, from the
earliest aud rude.! conceptions in the phalus
to the perfrc, aud bene6ceut system of Chris
tianity. The mysteries of these systems
were c,mprehensively grouped in the mind
OF this profound investigator and thinker,

was not only constant student himself, but

found life too short 10 accomplish all that

attention. Hi thirst for knowledge was in
satiable, but as he gained a little from the
vast accommodations OF the sges, he real z ID
that it was i'm possible even for him 10 com-
p1ss it. He therefore confined himself 10 q
few speciallies, and 10 accomplishing these
in the masterful way of which he gave
the public indubi,abIe evi ience, he
was able TO CLEAN in collateral felde, and
thus became a "walkipg encyclopedia"
And all this was but Incidental TO his work
as a teacher and writer, aud TO the perform
