Mr.. Gladstone is an elderly gen

good many Russian bonds are held
in England. If Disraeli were alive
the supposition is that the footballs

The great seal of England con-
sists of two silver disks, closely
fitting one to the other, in appear
ance not much unlike two bright
tin saucepan lids without handles /;
and these disks, On being separa-
ted, would reveal on t1hc inner sur
f nac of one deeply-cut device OF
the queen enthroned, with repre-
sensations of the cardinal virtues
around her, and on the other her
majesty sitting on highly capari-
soned horse, attended by a page.
These two silver disks are, in fact,
the matrix by means of which is
formed that enormous wax seal
commonly known as the great seal
of England, and which is affixed to
acts OF the sovereign which it is the
royal pleasure publicly to make
known.

Maxwell chloroformed and slew
Preller at his rooms in the South
ern Hotel in St. Louis on the 9th.
He cut a cross on his breast and
left an inscription in his trunk into
which he slowed the body of the
murdered man. On the next day
he left st. Louis for San Francisco,
and there took shipping for Auck-
land, New Sidney. He had sailed
forty-eight hours before the body
of the murdered man was discov-
cred in st. Louis by the intolerable
stencil. The vessel on which Max
well took shipping was expected to
arrive in Auckland on May 1st.
Ga her arrival, if Maxwell does not
in the meantime commit suicide,
he will be arrested and returned to
St. Louis. 1t is 10000 miles from
st. Louis to Auckland by the route
which was taken by the telegram to
intercept him. The world Is
not wide enough to hide him, if he
remains alive.

Frederick Douglass, the colored
statesman, has been eulogizing the
democratic party in a speech to the
colored men of Washington City.
He told his brethren that the repub-
lican party had ceased to be a par
ty of great moral ideas, and that
in the last campaign it had
sought victory on grounds far be
low its ordinary level. Referring
to President Cleveland, the colored
statesman said that the noble
words in his inaugural address were
as good as anthing ever said by
Lincoln and Grant. Mr.. Douglass
is holding a small federal Office in
Washington, but the fact that he
can find it in his heart to say pleas
ant things of a democratic admins
tration is a pleasing indication that
political prejudice is dying out.-Ex

this view a meeting OF the L class was
held, which resulted in u petition 10 the

grievance and appealing Tor relief. The
petition was answered by an order for
the communicating of all the men who
had signed the petition, on the ground of
characterization, Gen, tlazen said
tonight that the men were being
court-martialed not for expressing their
grievances, but for holding meeting
and combining for that purpose, which,
he said, was almost equal to mutiny.
Lieut.. Green has been reprlmanded by
