Death Of Judah p. BENJAMIN.

Judah P. Benjamin, tho distinguished law
yer and advocate and ex-member of the gov
eminent of the Southern confederacy, is dead.
He died in his apartments, Avenue Jena, Paris.
He had been in failing health ever since he
fell while descending from a tramway car sew
eral years ago. The death of Mr..
Benjamin in exile removes one of the ablest
lawyers and brightest men that America ever
produced. At this late day, when the passions
and prejudices engendered by the civil war are
fast dying out, the people of the United States
will not fail to acknowledge his true worth and
greatness. To the legal profession both of
this country and England the news of his
death will be read with profound regret.
Judah Potter Benjamin was born in Hayti
in 1872. He practiced law in New Or
leans, was elected United States senator from
Louisiana in 1852 and reelected in 1859. He
acted with the democrats and became a seces-
sionist. He was secretary of state of the con-
federate states from February, 1862, till the
collapse of the government i'll 1865. He then
went to London, where lie practiccd law until
February, 1885, when he retired having made a
fortune. Mr.. Benjamin was of the jew
Jewish race, and possessed to q marked degree
the %tireless energy of that people. He showed
himself to be a man of great resource, and was
one of the most vigorous characters connected
with the defunct confederacy.

r I BILL KILLED;
The Enactins Clause Stricken Out in the
House by a Majority Of Four.

In tho house, on Tuesday, after strong
speeches from Mr.. Randall, Mr.. Blackburn,
Mr.. Kasson and others, Mr.. Converse, pushing
to the front, moved to strike out the enacting
clause. This was a signal for q volly of Kisses
and groans from the Democratic side, this
demonstration being met by rounds o applause
from the Republican side. The scene in the
chamber was one Of intense excitement and
confusion to which the galleries rendered no
little aid by loud tokens of approval. Tellers
being ordered. Messrs. Converse and Morrison
were appointed by the chair: Before taking
desk, and exclaimed: "Glark, see that no
id scoundrel who is paired goes between
the %telicrs' Clark promising to see that fair
ground should be had, Morrison took his sta
hand as he stood opposite that gentleman. Then
the voting began, and the tellers announced
the affirmative vote to be 155. Tho first man
to pass through in the negative was Reagan of
Texas, who had boon brought in an invalid
chair in orderto cast his vote. He IA heartily
applauded by his friends and received many
congratulations upon his apparent recovery
from his late severe illness. The negative
vote was announced as 151, and then George
D. Wise VA voted in the affirmative, making
the vote stand 159 to 155.
Democrats against striking out the
enacting clause of the bill, were Messrs.
Strait, Nelson, Wakefield and Write of Mime
sofa. On being asked to explain their votes
these gentlemen all say that they voted to take
up the bill up to consider it, and having done
80, they could not consistently vote to eject it
after three weeks time wasted in discussion.
In addition, they say they favor a revision of
tho tariff and would have voted for the Nor
rison bill if properly amended.
The Democrats who voted with the Republic
cans in favor of striking out the enacting clause
Wore: Messrs, Budd, Glasscock, Charles A.
Sumner, and Tully, of California; Eaton of
Connecticut; Finerty Of Illinois; Converse,

lation for this session and ensure an early
adjournment.

Combination Of the Loss Of the steamer
6taf6 Of Elorlda, with ovar 100 Lives.

WA AVN
Quebec Special: The painful suspense that
prevailed here all day with regard to the sur
vivors of the disaster to the Inflated steamer
State of Florida. was relieved by the arrival of
the Donaldson steamer itiana, from Glasgowto
Montreal, with coala and a general cargo, which
was te~legraphed the It'll as on her way to Quebec
with twenty-four Of the saved party.
The captain, of the Titiana reports: May 5,
Bird rocks, observed q ship exhibiting two
bright lights, and thinking he wished to com
municate, bore down upon him and took of
twenty four passengers and the crew rescued
from the State of Florida of Glasgow. The
steamship City of Rome passed them while on
board the ship Louisa, and answered their sig
nails, but did not stop. Following is the official
report of the third officer of the State of Flor
Left New York on the 18th of April, with
about l67 passengers and crew and full gen.
eral cargo: Al went well until the night Of the
18th. At II 80 came in collision with the bark
Ponema of Chatham, N. b., Capt. Helburn.
Both ships went down almostimmediately and
out of the steamers passengers and crew only
forty-four, including the stewardess, managed
crew Of fifteen only the captain and two sea-
men saved. The next morning tho bark
was observed bottom up. The survivors, after
being thirty-tive hours in boats without food or
water, were rescued by the Norwegian bark
Theresa, of Christina, from that port, bound
for Quebec. On the 232d. %twenty-four of them
were transferred on the ship Louisa, of and
from Cardiff for Quebec, where they remained
till Mays, when they were taken on board the
Tftlana for Quebec. 1t is believedt that 1876 lives
/ were lost.
Members Of the rescued party on board the
Ttiana presented a pitiablc appearance, SO
sudden was the calamity, that many of them in
their hunks at the timeAhad to hurry on deck
and into the boats in their nishtclothes. Most
Of them had but a very confused idea of what
really took place. All could distinctly rcmem-
Der, however, the crash and rush for the deck.
The survivors also remember with q shudder the
dash for the boats as the ship went down amid
the shrieks and lamentations of the passen-
gers. Those on duty at the time remember
seeing a red light flash for an instant, followed
by a crash, after which nothing but confusion
followed, the steamer beginning to sink and
hurried preparation being made to launch the
boats. The bark went dow instantly. The
frightened passengers rushed on deck in their
nightclothes, and the scene was indie
scribable. Women went into hyster-
les and men refused to move. The women
especially objected to being doomed vessel.
y refused to bulge aninch.. Those who chung
to the bottom of the capsized boat all night
suffered terribly from icy cold water, though
the seq was calm. Nevertheless they did no
lose heart. Out of l67 souls only44 were saved
if the other 20 were not also picked up. The
bark also went down with IL souls.

Sensational Murder Case in England.

A0008At10uS4 AU100S case In 6084a2Qs
London Special cable: A terrible tragedy in
high life is reported from Devonshire. Mr..
Hugh Shorthand, a rich barrister from Aus
tralia, had been spending the past few months
in that county enjoying a vacation. He made
the acquaintance of a Miss Dimes, the daughter
of a wealthy country gentleman and connected
with some of the most aristocratic families, and
objected to Shortland's attentions, having heard
some d%isreputable stories about his habits,
which Mr.. Dimes was convinced were
too much those of q dissipate and prof1igate.
Shorthand, being clevein address and skilled
in intrigue, managed to induce Mr.. Dimes to
postpone q final decision until he could be con-
WINGED that his impressions were erroneous
and thus maintainedhi entree at tho residence.
Taking advantage of the opportunities afforded
by his probation, the Australian pressed his
suit with the young lady, and finally induced
her to elope with him. and they were duly
married. Soon after clipping, the young lady's
estate. At aboutthe time the body was discov-
cred, Shorthand, it was reported, left Devonshire.
It was generally supposed, therefore, that Mrs.
Shorthand had committed suicide in a titof des-
pondency. This view was confirmed by a let
ter which was received from Shorthand soon
after the finding of the body. An investigation
was begun and it was soon ascertained that
Shorthand had never left England at all since
his marriage, and that he had written his letter
and sent it under cover to a friend at Brindisi.
Shorthand was promptly arrested, and his trial
promises to be one Of the most sensational in
English criminal records. All efforts to find a
reason for the murder have failed, and Short.
land refuses to make any utterances on the sub
iect.

For the Aid of Gen. Grant.

Washington Special Senator Edmunds left
the chair Of the vice president Wednesday to
offer a bill to place Gen. Grant Oh the retired
list of the army, and in brief speech alluded
indirectly to his financial failure, which was
announced in the papers. He sod he hoped
the committee on military affairs would hasten
the passage of the bill; Such a measure has
has invariably failed. Southern dhmocrats, es-
pecially ex-confederates, are kindly disposed
toward Grant, and little opposition is anticipat-
ed beyond that of democrats of the Holman
type in the house, and Voorhees, type in the
senate. While it is well known that Grant has
a comfortable fortune left, there is a generous
feeling that his services deserve the providing
of him against the ups and downs of commer-
cial business.

Private Life of Emperor William.

The private life of the Emperor Will
liam flows along very simply. When in
Berlin he occupies a comparatively
small palace on the corner of Inter den
Linden and the Opera-place, his pres
ence being made known to the Ber-
liners by the red flag with the Landwehr
cross, which is then hoisted over the
roof. The window Of his study on the
ground floor looks out upon that point
in Inter den Linden where Rauch's
statue Of Frederick the Great stands.
Ordinarily the Emperor rises between
6 and Z o'clock in the morning. He
dresses at once completely for the day;
the convenience of dressing-gown and
slippers is unknown to him. The room
to which, after slight breakfast, he
goes for work is rather plainly furnished.
There is q mahogany writing-table
covered with writing materials Of every
kind, packages Of letters, smallpresents
from members of his family,
and mementoes of battles in
the form of papcr-weights. Smoking
implements fail, for the Emperor is no
friend of tobacco. On along and broad
table lea by lie books, maps, bundles
of documents, and papers of various
kinds. The Emperor sits at his work
IN IN ordinary chair covered with leath-
er, and receives personally all COM
~munications, opens them himself writes
his decision on the margin, and hands
them to his secretary to be disposed of.
One of his peculiarities is his economy
in the use Of paper and envelopes. In
Versailles one evening he announced a
new victory of the Germans to the
Chancellor on a piece of paper which
had been torn from q letter. In Berlin
the envelopes which reach him with re-
ports from the Foreign Office addressed,
ITO his Majesty the Emperor" go back
with the ''to" erased and "from" sub
stituted, SO that the envelope reads,
"From his Majesty the Emperor" with
"To the Chancellor" written brneath.
The Emperor's extraordinary capacity
for work makes it possible for him to
dispose, as a rule, personally of the
affairs connected with his Office, or at
least to direct their disposition in his
own way.-Dr. Moritz Busch, in Har-
per's Magazine.

Magnitude of the Grant Failures.

New York Tribune: Frederick d. Grant,
whilenot o member of the suspended firm, had

son of the general, is not a partner in Grant e.
Ward, but it is supposed he has had business
relations with them, and that his finances have
been involvedM the same way as those of
Frederick have been.
An enormous amount of unsecured liabilities
OF Grant 4 Ward exists, comprising notes and
simple receipts formoney received forspecula-
ton. Neither of the Grants is supposed to

regular drawing of his allowance of $1,000 per
month. 1t is stated on good authority that
there are outstanding nearly $1,000, 900 unsc-
individuals. 1t is said that the liabilities of
this character will amount in all to about
$5,Oo0,0M. Not only are they Grant & Ward)
known to have r~chypothecatcd securities
lodged with them on loans by several railroad
companies, but they have obtained larger ad-
vances on some of their collaterals than the
amounts they had advanced.

A Baptist Minister's Experience.

am q Baptist Minister and before I even
thought Of being a clergyman 1 graduated in
medicine but left a lucrative practice for my
present profession, 40 years ago, l was for
many years q sufferer from Quinsy, "Thomas
Electric Oil cured me-" 1 was also troubled
with Hoarseness and Thomas Electric Oil al
ways relieved ME. My wife aud child had
Diphthcria, and "Thomas Electric Oil cured
them" and if taken in time it will cure seven
times out of ten, 1 am confident it is a cure for
the most obstinate Cold, or Cough and if any one
willtake a small teaspoon andhalf fill with the
Oil and then place the end of the spoon in
one nostril and draw the Oil out of the spoon in
to the head by shifting as harda as they can until
the Oil falls over into the throat and practice that
twice a week, I don't care how offensive their
head may be, it will clean it out and cure their
Catarrh. For deafness and Earache it has done
wonders to my certain knowledge. tits the only
medicine dubbed patent medicine that 1 have
ever felt like recommending and am very anx-
lous to see it in every place, forI tell you that 1
would not be withoutit in my house for any con-
sideration, 1 am now suffering with o pain like
Rheumatism in my right limb and nothing re-
lieves me like Thomas Electric Oil.
