In commerce bribery is called commission.
Of course do not refer to the openly charged
commission of brokers, merchants, or others.
It is the secret commissions that are bribes.
When domestic servants take commission
from tradesmen they merely fellow custom
of commerce that prevails in the city of Lon
don and other commercial centers. parcel
of goods has to be worked off. 1t is bar
gain, but still the buyer. seems to hesitate
about purchasing the lot for his firm. The
seller in an abstractsd manner counts so
good ikenesses of the Queen into bag in
the buyers pocket. Then the buyer buys.
Or the buyer knows an old soldier who has
deserved well of his country and who is poor.
The benevolent and patriotic seller begs the
buyer to give the old soldier EGO or e3O, and
after that softening deed of charity the buyer
buys 1t is not worth while to notice the
dinner bribing, except to observe that some
men are wonderfully influenced by free
meal. A man who might resist the allure
ment of a ten-pound note is bribed by one
pound dinner. I am acquainted with sue
cessful promoter. He has retired from the
profession with fortune, and has become a
very stern moralist. He has known of 20
commissions being paid or arranged before
property could be sold to company, or
rather a company got up to buy the proper
ty. How did he induce men of position to
become directors of inferior companies, of
enterprises that were nearly sure to be wound
up? Often through the wives. He was not
lady's man.. but he supposed that no one
had bought and given away SO many jewels

and the husband would be sure to accept a
seat at any board. Besides, the directors
do not stand tn lose. thew NAV win and thew
may have their fees, besides the doueeurs
and commissions" It appears that appoint
ments are sold, and the money paid for an
appointment is called douceur. Commissions
are secret gifts and allowances from those
who sell to the company. The douceurs and
the commissions are divided among the gum
ca pigs cannot vouch for the correctness
of those statements, but certain it is that gen.
tlemen of social position have been induced
to act as limited bubble decoy ducks, and
the directors of smashed limiteds seem to
flourish.

A bill has been introduced in the Quebec
legislature providing that a crucifx be set up
in every court of justice in the province and
requiring witnesses to extend their right
hands toward it and their left hands on the
Bible while taking the oath. If this bill be-
comes a law it is not probable that the truth
will be told in Quebec courts more than it

New York has very stringent anti-oleo-
margarine law, but Louis Doscher, South
Brooklyn grocer, has been acquitted of sell
ing olsomargarine on the ground that he was
deceived, believing the stuff to be "fine
creamery butter" If such defence is sufi
cient to secure an acquittal the snti-oleomar-
garine law will not amount to much.

PALM ER'S
LIVER PILLS.

We doubt if there ever has been placed
on the market, such Perfect and Effective
Liver Pills for the cure of Biliousness.
Bilious, Sick and Nervous Headaches,
Chronic Constipation, Dyspepsia, Mala-
ria, Chills and Fever, Dizziness, Distress
After Eating, Bad Taste in the Mouth.

and Renovating the whole system.
NEW HAVEN, CONN.
have never found in all my practice,
any Liver Pills of SO great value as Palm
er's Liver Pills for the treatment of Bilious
ness, Bilious Headache, Malaria, Liver
Complaint, Chronic Constipation and all
disorders caused by o bilious state OF the
system. They are entirely unlike all
other Pills, and are marvel to all who
use them. DIR. 1. s. MILLER
These Pills are not Quack OF Pat
ent Medicine, but have great Medicinal
Virtue and Power. So eminently sue
cessful have they been, that our best
physicians and most worthy citizens furn-
ish us with testimonials of cures effected.
which seem miraculous and would hardly
be believed, were it not for the abundance
of proof and its unquestionable reliability.
Ask for Palmers Liver Pills, and if
your druggist does not keep them, don't
allow him to put off on you any other
Pills that contain Mercury or Morphine,
which they say will answer equally as
well, but insist upon taking no other but
Palmer's and your druggist will get them
for you.

The important English experiments which
have been in progress during the last twelve
months at the South Foreland lighthouse
show that with oil, gas and the electric lights
all at full power under their respective COM
binations the gas and the oil were lost at ten
miles, while the electric was good light at
fourteen and half miles. The most signif-
can't fact is established by these photometric
experiments "that the intensity of the cleo
trio light is superior in penetration of fog,
mist or rain to the larger superficial volume
of combustion illuminants. There can be
no question, even in the absence of these
conclusive data, that the electric light is,
with all the defects observed in most install
lations, an invaluable lluminant for large
areas

Some time ago gentleman bought for a
few pence, at bookttall in London, an old
book which was of no particular value, but
which he happened to want. 1t was bound
in vellum, and by the lapse of time the skin
had become separated from the cardboard to
which it had originally been pasted. On
reaching home, and when about to commence
the perusal of his purchase, he noticed some
thing between the vellum and the boards.
Without much,,thought of what he was doing,
he unfolded the vsllum, when to his great
delight he saw what proved to be nearly a
whole pack of very rare and ancient playing
cards. After keeping his treasures for some
little time, and exhibiting them to his friends,
he was at last induced to part with them for
a considerable sum to the British Museum
He has spent all his leisure time since in ex-
amining the bindings of old books at stalls
and elsewhere.

Brilliant After Dinner speeches at the
Alumni Dinner in New York.
New YORK, March 26.-Edwards Pierre
pont presided at the dinner of the Yale
alumni at Delmonicos tonight. Among the
eminent guests were Edward ]. Phelps,
minister to England, President Noah Porter
of Yale college, William Walter Phelps and
others. Chauncey M. Depew, who was to
have presided, was prevented from attend
ing by death in his family. President
Porter in speaking about the college alluded
to the additional honor attained by her in
having member of the faculty selected to
represent the American people at the court
of st. James. He said Professor Phelps had
been great gain to Yale and had
left his influence in a healthful and benef-
cial manner on the minds of all the students.
E1-Minister Pierrepont, in introducing the
newly appointed plenipotentiary, said that
that gentleman was going to a court differ
ent from that which he had been accustomed
to practice in as he would soon discover.
Mr.. Pierrepont warned him of the risks he
ran in not according every facility to the
travelling American and said that if a
request to be shown theQueen's bedroom was
denied the American refused would berate
him soundly in the newspapers. Prof
Phelps in answering said that he did not
know the connection between Yale and poll
tics. for Yale was not a Political institution
and nobody kneW less about politics than
himself It was the business Of Yale
college he thought to teach men to
do their duty in whatever sphere
of labor God calls them to- Yale had many
illustrious sons whom the lightning had
| struck and if it had happened to miss Viii
liam M. Evarts in the late senatorial contest
it would certainly have singled out Depew.
The speaker was too good Democrat to be
dissatisfied with the results of the late presi-
| Dental election, but if it had
| gone the other way we might
| have had the right Phelps
| pointing to William Walter Phelps instead
| of the wrong one as minister to England or
even as Secretary of State. No man appre-
ciates better, said the speaker, the untried
difficulties of his new position and hoped to
discharge his duties successfully as his
| predecessor, who had honored Yale's great
sister institution as she had honored him
| and who had met the trials of the position
| with perfect satisfaction to the people on
| both sides of the water.

THE CORONER,s VERDICT.

Coroner Halls finding in the Frazier case,
Of Cromwell, is as follows: ''Upon inquiry I
find that William L. Frazier when intoxi-
Gated was of a very quarrelsome disposition;
that in all reasonable certainty he became in
toxicated on the afternoon of March %, 1885,
and then received a blow upon the back OF
his head, from the effects of which he died
on March "a, 1885. That the prospect of as
pertaining whether the blow was received
from an accidental fall OF from some person,
and still more of fastening any legal response
bility upon any particular person, is slight
and would not warrant any further expense
