Miss Beatrice Biddle, grand daughter of
Nicholas Biddle, occupies staff position on

The wife of Congressman Springer, of
Illinois, although an invalid, is said to be Of
great assistance to her husband in his Con-
gressiOnal duties, attending to great part
of his correspondence, and aiding him By
her wise advice and counsel. She is an in
tellectual woman and highly educated.
The Athen@um says that ''the hitherto
unpublished sonnet" by Keats, given In
Speeds edition of the poet recently pub
lished, appeared in Harper's Magazine for
August, 1877. "The real euthor," it saws,
"was not John Keats, but George Keats,
Mr.. Speeds grandfather"
Since the contribution by the Municipal
Council of Paris of 10000 francs toward a
sta.ue in honor of Diderot several large sub
scriptions have been received from private
individuals, and the promoters of the scheme
now express themselves as confident of be-
ing able TO raise an exceptionally handsome
monument to the great encyclopedias.
The appointment of Mr.. G. E. Buckle to
the editorship of the London Times still ex-
cites surprised comment in journalistic cir
cles. Mr.. Buckle is only just over thirty.
In Oxford his record is evidence of industry
and of varied attainments. After gradua-
tion he was appointed assistant editor un-
der Mr.. Chenery on the Times, and bis sue

Senator Cullom, of Illinois, correspon-
dent of the Chicago Inter-Ocean says, sis
not much of society man and prefers to sit
around his cosy room in dressing-gown and
slippers, instead of going to parties and re-
ceptions. He enjoys dinner party, and is
guest at all the fashionable gatherings Of
the sort, and is go1 talker in the parlor
as well as on the stump. Just now he is
overburdened with correspondence and COM
mittee work which forbids him taking as
much rest and recreation as he would like
He finds that the Senatorship is no sine

Justice Day, of the English bench, while
visiting a model show prison in the provinces
recently, noticed a tread-mill, and his Curl
osty being excited, he determined to try
the labor to which In his time he had SEN
fenced so many prisoners. So stepping on
to the machiue he told the gently remon-
strating warder to set it going. After about
one and half minutes experience his ord.
ships curiosity was quite satisfied, and he
ordered the mill to be stopped. Then he
found that although the mill was set to do
the shortest possible spell, it could not be
stopped until that time was finished, so the
Judge had to 90 on grinding until twenty
minutes had expired

wife about it this morning, aud said to her,
1T seems TO me that this movement for work
ingman's party is likely to result as did the
movement which formed the Republican
party This proposition to form working
mans party has more in 1t than most people
suppose. Ths fact is q very large proportion
OF our voters are workngmen. They want
party based npon principles which recognize
their needs and which will make as its founda-
Llon stones those principles which will give
them their just dues. I get a great many
letters on this subject, and great
maDy facts and ideas from them, and
1 feel confident that the movement
of which Ben Butler is to be the representative
in the coming campaign has q greater future
than many people suppose. IL may nc. cut a
very great figure this year but 1t is very likely
to ic other years to come"

The committee of five appointed by the
Congregational council in the case of DR..
Newman this morning notified the council
that the report was ready to be submitted.
Thereupon the delegates Withdrew from the
body of the church to the vestry to receive
the report and act upon it in executive seq
sion. About noon word came from the coun-
Gil that the report as made by the committee
of i've had occasioned good deal of discus
sion among the delegates, and that many
amendments were being suggested and acted
upon.
1t was learned during the afternoon that the
report filed tweDty-one pages of manuscript,
and that the delegates were engaged in chang
ing the phraseology of some parts of it. There

Continuation of RRr. Cooks Testimony
Before the Springer Committee.
WASHINGTON, March 13.-"While l re-
marked yesterday that Mr.. Bliss's appoint
nlent az counselor OF the star route case was
political one" said William A, Cook at the
beginning Of the evidence today by the
Springer committee, II do not mean that
there was no reference to the fact that he was
the lawyer. While he was the lawyer, he
never could have been selected but for psrti-
san reasons. In consultation concerning the
selection Of special counsel several names
were mentioned among them General Butler,
Judge Fullerton and Mr.. Henderson Of st.
Louis. The objection to Henderson was that
It would net be wise to select him because he
had been engaged in the prosecution OF the
whiskey ring cases and he would not be &C
ceptable to the incoming administration.
Bliss never would have been selected had
General Garfield lived"
80 The time Of the engagement of
special counsel was anything said about per
diem?"
THE conn psnsation allowed Bliss was justi-
fed on the ASSUMPTION that as he was a New
York lawyer he was to get 500 per day. Mr..
Ker was from Philadelphia and fees in that
place are not SO high as they are in New York.
His compensation should have been less. Mr..
Merrick was from Washington and his COM
pensation should have been less still. But
both were allowed the same as Bliss. The en-
ployment Of Merriek was said to be a shrewd
ACT of Brewster. II enabled him to call into

Oil on the Troubled Waters.

An English experimenter has laid 1000
feet of pipe along the bottom of the entrance
to Folkestone harbor, England. In the pipe
are valves and perforated nozzles at inter-
walls of 70 feet, from which oil is thrown out
by force pump, and being broken into
minute globules it spreads far and wide
through the water and struggles to the sur
face. In recent gale the apparatus was
tested. A heavy sea was running and great
waves dashed across the harbor's mouth.
Twenty gallons of oil were forced through
the pipes. A few minutes passed. The
gale did not abate, but over the face of the
water came a wonderful change. The
waves disappeared, and only a troubled
oniver was TO be seen where white CAPS had
been tossing moment before. According
10 the Pail Mall Gazette the calm lasted for
fully two hours.

plants in the Northwest, as is being done in

TRADE DOLLARS.
The Profitable Enterprise of the King of
Siam.

LONDON. March 13.-Advices received re-
Gently from Bangkok, Siam, bearing the date
of January 18. state that the King is buying
American trade dollars at about ninety cents
on the dollar, and coming new Siamese ticals.
The new coin is very handsome and much
sought after by the native traders. 1t bears
the impress of the Kings head on one side
and the royal seal on the other. These ticals
pass current for so cents within the kingdom,
but at Singapore, Penang and Calcutta they
are accepted at a discount of 20 per cent SO
that their actual value is not more than As
cents. 1t is said at the British consulate that
one trade dollar produces two ticals, SO it will
be seen that the Siamsse government is doing
profitable business by debasing the coin
There is no paper money in circulation in
Siam. Silver is the standard, though thert is
some gold in the country. The gold, however,
is in very small quantity, and rarely finds its
way into the hands of the common people.
Siamese gold coin commands premium, as it
is an object of curiosity. It is thought the
depreciation of the Siamese tical will seriously
derange the commercial transactions of for
eigners engaged in trade in Siam.

TURKEY.

WASHINGTON, March 13-A despatch from
Constantinople says that passage at arms oc-
Cured last week between Gen. Wallace and
the Grand Vizier. Acting under instructions
from Washington, Gen. Wallace has lately
been pressing the Porte very hard for settle
ment of the petroleum question. and Ameri-
can claims gene ally. The Grand Vizier, irri-
tated at such persistency, refused to receive
Minister Wallace when the latter sought an
audience for the special purpose of demanding
some official answer to his various long stand
ing demands, pleading an engagement on i'm
portant business. An angry official correspon-
dence ensued, in which the pretence was ad-
vanced that ministers have not the same right
to approach the Grand Vizier at all times as
ambassadors possesses. Pasha has expressed
an intention to ask for Gen. Wallace's recall.
Such proceeding, however, is very improba-
BILE. The Porte dares not do so without the
sanction of the Sultan, with whom Gen. Wal
lace continues on very friendly terms. A Pc
troleum storage concession has just been grant
ed to certain individuals at Beyrout.
