SENATOR EUsTIs Of Louisiana has
just returned from Europe, and is said
to be as mad with the Administration
as ever, and willing to lead fight
against it in the Senate. We incline to
the belief that before the ides OF No
vember, so to speak, the Senator will
conclude to let his undoubted discre-
tion take the place OF his unimpeach-
able valor, and do no such thing.
Otherwise he will be apt to find him
self one OF the lonesOmest men in the
Senate.

"A Good Answer.

The old or, is renewed by certain
class OF papers that Grants operations
in Virginia were signalized by a sacrifice
of life that it is hard TO justify. A suf-
fclent refutation of this statement is to
be found in the fact that the total losses
in killed, wounded aud missing during
the period in which he fought and con.
quered Lees army were l04, 900, while
the losses in the preceding Virginia
campaigns, from which no substantial
advantage was realized, were over Ia,
600. Judged by what lie achieved, not
only in Virginia, but in the west as well,
it can be safely said that Grant was even
more careful with the lives OF his troops
than any other great military comman-
der of any age.-lSt. Louis Globe

The Administration has gone out Of
town for a few days, but the Govern
ment will keep right along as usual. Its
machinery is nicely adjusted and in a
great measure self-propclling. That IS
where the advantage comes in of hav-
ing government by the people, OF the
people and for the people.

THE New York clubs, in spirit Of
retrbutive justice, are turning cold
shoulder on their English cousins. 1t
will be remembered that the London
club men have OF late been blackballing
Americans quite industriously, And
now the Union Club OF New York pro-
poses to abolish its six months mem
bership, which was instituted chiefly for
the benefit of foreigners, and, according
to all accounts, has been greatly abused.
Many instances are cited where Eng
lishmen, after enjoying our hospitalties
as long as they pleased, have gone on
without paying the bills they con-
tracted, and these of course have to be
settled by the members who proposed
them, under the impression that they
were gentlemen. The moral of all
which is that there Is evident need of
reform in club life on both sides of the
water,

sHELLY's CREMATION.
The London ''Athonteum" Claims Th
The Liver and Not the Heart Reunains

The London ''Athouipum" Claims That
The Liver and Not the Heart Remains.
LONDON, June ". - The Atheunan,
raises question Of doubt as TO whether
the poet Shelly's heart really survived
the cremation to which his body was sub
jected. 1t suggests In support of its posi-
tion that Byron, Leigh, Hunt and Trelaw-
ney, who identified the charred substance
as the heart, We're mistaken, and argues
that in cremation the heart being hollow
is easily destroyed, while the liver. which
is the most solid mass Of the
internal organs, resists the most
intense heat. The paper quotes "a
correspondent, who says that he has Wit
messed many crematiOus Of the human
body. He declares that be has seen Gre
nations completely effected in seventy
minutes in the Milan crematory by means
of Venoniis reverberating furnace, and in
all these cases the liver endured for con-
siderable time'in that concentrated whirl.
wind Of fire, remaining intact after the
heart had totally disappeared.
INDIsTRUCTIBILITY OF HIS LIVER.
Proceeding from such data the writer
in the AtheReum points out that Shelley's
liver was saturated with sea water and
was on that account more than normally
indistruetible, and maintains that Byron
and Hunt not being anat0mists easily
mistOOk the shrunken remains Of Shelley's
liver for those Of his heart, and that the
former and not the latter it was which
Hunt returned to Mrs. Shelley and which
lies encased I'm silver in B0scOmbe
Hall, the family seat. The AttenGWBl
concludes by suggesting that an expert
anatomist be permitted to examine the
supposed heart for the purpose Of deter
mining scientifically whether the remains
be really the poets heart or bis liver,
both OF which were equally useful TO him
while he lived, and both OF which should
be regarded as equally valuable still.

DUBLIN, June 27.-There was a much
larger crowd of prominent people at the
farewell reception of Earl Spencer to-day
than was anticipated. The rooms were
so densely thronged that it was difficult
for those present to move about
with any degree Of comfort. The
Earl in the presence OF the assembled
guests knighted Secretary Kaye and
Commissioner Greene for the part they
took in making the recent visit of the
Prince and Princess Of Wales To Ireland
a success. Every precaptiOn was taken
TO prevent Invincibles from perpetrating
an outrage, and packages destined for
the castle were carefully examined before
being conveyed inside NJ the building for
fear that they might contain dynamite.
A large force Of police was stationed in
the court yard, and numerous detectives
in full dress suits mingled with the as
sembled crowd. The streets through
which Earl Spencer had to pass in going
TO the railway station en- route TO Lon
don were lined with soldiers.
The departure of Earl Spencer was wit
messed by great crowd of people. The
demeanOr Of the people were very re-
spectful. Men raised their hats and
women waved their handkerehiefs as the
carriage containing TIE Earl passed
Cheering was frequent. Occasionally
however, grOans we're given.

BURCHARD SUPERSEDED.
James Il. Kimbal the New Director of
the Mint


WASHINGTON, June 27.-The President
to-day suspended Horatio c. Burchard. of
Illinois, as Director of the Mint, and ap-
pointed James B. Kimball, of Pennsylva-
MIA, in his stead. The change will take
effect July 1. MIR. Kimball lives ut Beth
lehem, Pa, where he is Professor of
Economic Geology in Lehgh University.
He IS a mining engineer and metallurgist
by profession He was educated at Har-
ward University and at the Mining
school OF FTeiberg, SaXOny, receiV-
ing the degree Of Ph. ID. from
the University of Gottingen in 1857. He
mas held appointments on several State
and government surveys. During the
war he served in the army of the Potomac
as Assistant Adjutant General on the
stats of Gems. Mcclellan, Burnside,
Hooker and Meade, successfully. He is
now President of the Everett Iron Com
pany of Pennsylvania, and is well known
IN New York, where he has an office. He
ls a member Of the Union, Century and
Down Town clubs of New York city.
BURCHARD's EXPLANATION.
Mr.. Burchard said to-day in regard to
his suspension that be preferred that the
change should be made in that way
rather than TO resign in the face of
charges of ineflicieDcY and Of mismanage-
ment, which had been made against him
by personal enemies, and which have
been published in several newspapers.
He did not dispute the Presidents right
TO remove him, but had some little
curiosity to see the "reasOns1 therefor,
which the President would give TO the
Senate. His relations with Secretary
Manning had always been of the most
pleasant character, and he regretted that
a contrary impression had arisen since
his removal has been spoken OF.

former of whom attribute their unfavor-

praying that in the future all academi-
clans be restricted to four pictures

outsiders be restricted to two. The

that the academiclans at present crowd
outside exhibitors by abusing their own
privileges. A similar petition was re-
jected by the Royal Academy two years

mortal will not receive any better treat
ment. The Right Hon. Arthur Wellesley
