Couldn't Take Care Of his Money.

A friend of Senator Chaffee who is in Wash
ington said Chaffee was one of the greatest
sufferers by the failure of Grant 4 Ward. He
lost every cent of his available resources. Last
year he considered himself worth nearly 3d.
100000, of which 81, coo, GOO were in Colorado
properties, which have since greatly depreciat-
ed and are not now marketable. At the time
of the marriage of his daughter with Buck
Grant he had one million in cash securities.
When his daughter married he gave her $780,
600 in bonds. These were all put into the firm
of Grant & Ward, and every dollar of them is
lost. Chaffee himself, in street speculation
during the past year, lost 100000. A month
or six weeks ago he had $500, 00Oin cash securi-
ties. just before he made his last visit West
he took his money and gave it to his son-in-law
to keep for him during his absence. 1t was
not an investment, nor for the purpose of Sc
curing any investment. 1t was simply de-
posted with young Grant as a trust during
the senator's brief absence. This money in
some way reached the hands of Ward and was
lost. Chaffee is, practically, penniless, and in
a most wretched state of mind. This friend Of
Chaffee says it is by no means believed that
Ward could have lost the large sums charged
up to his failure. He believes 49, 00,0 600 would
cover the legitimate losses of the firm, and
hints directly at very scandalous developments,
which will result in a rigid investigation Of
what Ward has done with the money.

Judah p. Benjamin's career was a ro-
mantle one. That the son of IN Eng
lish Jew, born in the West Indies,
should become so prominent in law and
politics in an American state as to be
elected United States senator from Lou
isiana at the age of 40, was sufficiently
remarkable, but not so wonderful as the
fact that, fleeing to England after the
downfall of the confederacy, when near
ly 55 years old, he should forge his way
to the very front rank at a bar where
the outsider finds far harder obstacles
to overcome than in this country. The
pride of race which the Hebrew feels
does not seem strange in the light OF
such a record.

Recent statistics show that the cost
of living at German universities, not
w~ithstanding the fact that the Germans
are becoming fonder of spending money
than they once were, is still very low as
compared with that in America. Rent,
food, and clothes are all cheap, and
there it is not the fashion, rs with us,
to be lavish, so that the competition in
expenditure, of which so many we'll
meaning but weak-minded American
undergraduates are the the victims, is
practically unknown. Many American
parents find it to THAR advantage to
send their children abroad for higher
education, on account of cheapness,
irrespective of ~thoroughness and other
considerations.

Utter collapse of Tom Nichols.

Col w. G. Lembert of Cleveland has just
concluded his report of the condition of the syn
dictate of whose affairs Thomas N. Nichol, Gen.
Garield's friend, was in charge. The syndi-
cate included Gov. Foster, Keifer, Senator War
ner Miller of New York, Senator Plumb of Kan
sas and others. The object of the enterprise
was to develop certain coal lands in Missouri
and to sell corner lots in a new town there,
named Walnut The members of the syndi-
cate contributed $3O0,OO0 and Nichol was IN
trusted with the management of operations.
After spending five weeks in trying to
untangle affairs, Lambert reports that,
in tho expenditure of money to
which Nichols wealthybackers had contributed
their $500, 0O0, not a single entry on the way of
bookkeeping had been made. He had persist
antly refused to 80 into any explanation of his
expenditures when demanded of him. Col
Lembert reports, further, that the total amount
unaccounted for by Nichol is s155, 0O0, part
of which has been recovered by the syndicate.
There were also town lots sold by Nicholt to the
amount of $685. 900. Of all these sales not a
single record was left, and Lembert was COM
PEELED to get the proof as best he could, most.
lyfrom the deeds given for the lots.

Apprehending Assassination.

Sir William Harcourt, home secretary, has
again been nervous over information which the
police claim to have discovered of Fenian plots
to assassinate himself, Mr.. Gladstone, Mr..
Trevelyan, chief secretary for Ireland, and
other members of the government 1t is said
that these threats are the cause of the proposed
cabinet meeting on Irish affairs, on which Earl
Spencer, lord lieutenant for Ireland, has been
summoned from Dublin. Lord Spencer will be
guarded by two special officers throughout his
journey, and extraordinary precautions are be-
ing taken to secure the safety of members of
the government. Recently no less than twelve
Scotland yard detectives, in plain clothes, were
counted in the lobby of the house of commons,
waiting to escort the different ministers to
their homes.

OF the nineteen million acres of Scot

tenths. This statement was made by
the chairman at recent large and spir-
tied meeting in Glasgow of the Scottish

eer said that during n long days walk in

ring to the crowded, comfortless quar-
tiers of the almost homeless poor, he de-
elared: ''Ye are of more value than

before which the injustice of the British
land system will finally tall. The intro
duetion of restrictions in Congress, too
long delayed, will save the United States
a vast deal of trouble hereafter, should
they be embodied into the laws of the

eign corporations are rapidly absorbing

if not restricted, viii soon become the
