MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

Voltaire's house is now used by
the Geneva Bible Society as a repos-
tory for Bibles. The British Socic-
TVS house in Earl Street, Blackfri.
ars, stands where, in 1878, the Coun-
Gil forbid Wycliffe circulating por-
tions of Holy Scriptures, and where
he uttered the words. "The truth
shall prevail" and the Religious
Tract Society's premises are where
Bibles were publicly burned.
NJ. De Lesseps returned from his
months journey in Africa, enthusi-
astic upon the subject o. the propos.

of communication, one hundred and
eighty kilometres long, can be cut
through in five years, and at one
sixth of the cost estimated by the
Government Commission which re-
ported against the scheme.
The spruce trees in the lumber
districts of Maine are dying rapidly

ship where 100000 feet were ex-
pected. There are number of town.
ships in which it is estimated that
three-fourths of the trees are dead
So far as can be ascertained, there
are no worms at work, and the cause
of the decay is a mystery. The tops
of the dead trees have reddish
color, and look as though they had
been scorched by fire.
The New York Legislature adj.
journed on May 4th, after a session
in which the Democratic majority
have distinguished themselves by
their craftsmanship. The record OF
its important acts includes few ex.
cellent measures like those for the
preservation of Niagara Falls and
for a State Civil Service Commits
sion, but more jobs, among which
the most conspicuous is the bill for
the construction of a new aqueduct
in New York city. Governor Cleve-
lands occasional displays of indie
pendence reused the resentment of
his party, and the session closed
with the Senate's refusal to confirm
many of his nominations and re.
markably frank message from him
roundly censuring them for their ac-
ton.
The dynamite panic in England
is affording all manner of mean and
malignant people an opportunity of
gratifying private spite and malice
against public persons and those
connected with them. Ledy Har-

IHE commissioners appointed to
represent the interest of Arkansas
In the Louisville Exposition. have
addressed the people through tho
columns ofthe Gazette, urging the
Importance of a full and complete
representation of Arkansas products
1t is to be hoped that the committees
appointed will discharge their whole
DUTY, and have the resources of our
state honestly represented. The
ioiiowlng named gentlemen were an
pointed committee to collect mon
ey and articles for exhibit from fins
place: ). l.. Shinn, G. f. Howell 7
NJ. Harley and j. B. Erwin. We
hope these gentlemen will faitbfnllv
discharge the duty enjoined upon
them, and thereby assist in bringing
our own state up to the position she
may occupy by prerogative of her
agricultural and horticultural ad.
vantages.

ALL the train robbers have been
found guilty of murder in the first
degree, and of course will ere long
have to suffer the penalty. The
majesty of the law must be main
tanned, and while their death will
not bring back the life Of conductor
Cain, yet the penalty must be suf-
fered.

Missouri politics are now threat.
ened with great complication. The
democrats want to mix in prohibi-
tion SO far as suits their convenience
ana SO far as will prove conducive
OF abduction from the other party.
ana the republicans occupy about
the same ground, and both are tor
partisan and cowardly to advocate
absolute prohibition as princinle
we can never have any prohibition
laws IN this country that will effect
anything while there is so mucb
partisan spirit in the affairs of our
government. If the democrats Of =
certain section advocate prohibition
as a party, and have not a suitable
prohibition man, they will sacrifice
the temperance question rather than
be beaten by the opposite party. So
1t is with the republicans. Whenev.
err our politics take an uncomprom
ising stand on principle, we NAV ex.
pect prohibition measures.
