A ReYiYnI of War Talk.

There is a slight revival of the talk OF
war between Russia and England. IL
may be that this talk originates with those
who are interested in speculations, or it
may be that Russia is making demands
that were not anticipated when il was an
nounced some days ago that basis Of
peace had been agreed upon. There are
reports that Russia is insisting upon the
possession Of territory that will give her
control of one Of the two routes from He.
rat 20 Cabul. II seems also that she
wants the privilege Of having an agent al
Cabul, the capital Of Afghanistan.
Her purpose in this is plainly apparent.
Though this agent she proposes 70 gain
the ascendancy In Afghanistan. She does
not propose TO allow England to have a
foothold in that country. With Afghan
istan friendly she would have little diff
Guilty in reaching the frontier Of India.
Assuming that the reports Of Russia's de-
mands are reliable, It is not easy TO see
how England can grant the demands.

In Favor of Bankrupt Law.

The Commercial Convention at Atlanta
decided by a large majority that the
country needs a uniform bankrupt law.
The Southern members of Congress have
generally been classed among those op-
posed to a bankrupt law, and there is
no doubt that a majority of them in the
last Congress were opposed to it.
II would be interesting to know how
many of those at the Atlanta convention
who voted in favor of the law were South
ern men.
The business men of the South whose
business interests cover several States
ought to be, if they are not, in favor of a
bankrupt law. They stand very little
chance Of collecting their claims against
bankrupts in States other than their
own because of their ignorance of the in
solvent laws Of the different States, and
because of the advantage which the local
creditors have over foreign creditors.
The great objection to a bankrupt
law has been that bankrupt estates were
absorbed by thNfees of those who admin
stered the law. That certainly was a
good objection to the law that was
repealed a few years ago; but is it not
possible to frame a law that would pro-
tect the creditors? One of the speakers
at the Atlanta convention said that Eng
land has a bankrupt law that is we'll
nigh perfect. Under it bankrupt estates
are distributed quickly and at a very
small cost. Could not the main features
of the English law be embodied in a
bankrupt law in this country? The
Lowell bill that was before last Congress
Is said to be entirely satisfactory to mer-
chants who have given it careful con-
sideratiOn. The best sentiment appears
to be in favor of bankrupt law, and it
is probable that the next Congress will
enact such law.

Is the Queen "a spIritualist?
From, the Toronto Week.

Are the Royal mily spjritualists? People
tell tales of the Queen; they know that the
Princess Louise has been at seances; they re-
call the story of the Duke of Albany's death
down the whole ROYAL family. therefore, as
spiritualisfs. SO far has this belief spread
that Sir Henry Ponsonby has been commits

levers in Mr.. Eglinton's spiritualism. Mr..
\. 1Orke, the late equerry of the Duke Of A l.
hany, has also been called upon to give his
testimony, and says that be is in a position to
declare that his Royal Highness never attend
ell seance with Mr.. Eghnton or presented
him with a slate. The Inference drawn by
the spritualists from this correspondence is
that the Queen and several ~ her children
are believers in communicat i 5 between the
next world and this, but know nothing Of Mr..
Eglinton and his slate.

How Old Hickory Got the Best of a
Preacher.
From the Commeroia1 A d0erti8e

fTO7I1 ne LOnNeTc1Ht a HUt7JtseF'
Some crafty Tennessee politicians, 1t Is now
recalled, once sent a Presbyterian paIson to
Andrew Jackson in order to influence him IN
parsOn dipiom aticaly commiserated the
President ON the annoyance OF his position.
WhereupOn the latter looked soberly at him
ana said he was indeed troubled about one
matter, so much troubled that it kept him
awake night, and he had long cOptemplat-
ed whether he could find the oil which could
calm The troubled waters-and here he paus
ed. The parson anxious to bring his matter
to focus, asked bluntly what the trouble
was. The President answered in a serio- comic
tone, ut Is, my dear parson. the divisions in
the Presbyterian Church." The next day the
parsOn returned to Tennessee.

He Got Good Dinner and a Bottle of
Wine.
From "a Netn York Snn


~ got stuck for good dinner in a new way
last week." said a Broadway restaurant man
yesterday. "A young fellow came in here and
ordered fine lay out, with bottle of wine,
and ate it all leisurely. Then he stepped up
to the cashier, as if to pay his bill, and put his
hands in his inside coat pocket. He drew it
out again, ana said, 1--WE lost my pocket
book" He seemed really distr, ssed for a
minute. then pulled out bank book, and said
ne hoped the cashier would take that as Sc
curity Till the next day. The book showed a
balance Of about 81. 100 in the Bowery Savings
Bank, and the cashier, after getting the young
man TO sign a check for the amount of the
bill, expresses his sorrow for his loss aud let
him go. Half an hour later the cashier was
SIancng over paper and saw an advertise
ment announcing the loss of a Bowery Saw

A CyclOne i'm Iowa.

most destructive wind and rain storm oc-
CURED in Iowa on Friday afternoon last The
scene of the greatest destruction was along the
western border of the State. The town of
Nicola, Pottawattamie County, was badly dam
aged, and the town of Whiting, in Manona
County, suffered considerable loss. Among the
injured were a Mrs. Packard and Mrs. Daven-
port. Mrs. Packard's baby, only a week old,
was carried 200 yards by the wind, but was not
seriously injured. About six miles above Sioux
City a train was blown from the track and
number of passengers injured, all of whom are
doing well except Mrs. G. c. Hitchcock, of
Kimball, Oak, who is in critical condition.
At Pulaski, in Davis County, the storm was
terrific. The Iowa House, the leading hotel,
was completely wrecked. Only one man in the
building was injured, though there were 40
persons in it at the time. The NJ. E. Church
had its roof and tower taken off, and every
other building in the place was more or less
injured. The house of Mr.. F. Myers was blown
down and Mrs Myers and two of her children
were crushed to death while trying to escape
to the cellar. VIM. Tutewler is reported to
have been killed short distance from the
town. Among the injured were Fred Hotch-
kiss, his wife and child; Mrs. Miller and Henry
Miller. A food followed the wind, washing
away bridges TO such an extent that all trains
on the Chicago, Burlington & Kansas City Road
were compelled TO stop running.
