his speech on the electoral count: then think it will be found generally impressed upon the constitution, would say imbedded in the constitution, that periodicity and accommodated and adjusted periodicity in all the action of the great departments of the government, except the judicial, is not to be treated as circumstantial or only of convenience and propriety, b2t that it enters into the very scheme by which the election of president by the people, without the aid and without the control, and without regulation by Congress possible provided, and 1t carries with it that the president is to come upon the scheme and this arrangement of periodicity with concurrent and attendant action of the people on the other branches of election.
 The examiners in the university at Bom- bay have to be as sharp as the examiners at Yale. A short time ago grave scandal was caused in Bombay by the fact that the con tents of the examination papers at the Uni versity had somehow leaked out, and that the greater portion of the competitors came up thoroughly posted in the questions that were to be asked them. In consequence Of
 
 were annulled and fresh one was ordered to take place. This has just come off, but with results no more satisfactory than those of it
 although from a different cause So anxious were the examiners that their papers should be kept secret that, in stead of having been printed, they copied them by means of one of the gelatinous in- ventions for that purpose. Either they were unaccustomed to the use of the machine, or the work was too hurriedly done; for the re-
 suit was that when the papers were distribut-
 ed the greater portion of them was absolute
 ly illegible. The consequence is the exam
 ination has again had to be squashed, and
 the unfortunate competitors will have, for a
 third time to come up to Bombay from all
 parts of the Presidency.
 MT. Anaguas, superintendent of the Per kins institution for the blind at Boston, who
 is Greek, has something interesting to say
 about the present situation. Greece, says MT. Anaguas, has been preparing for war for years ''under the leadership of her ablest statesman, Tricoupis." What this statesman accomplished he thus describes: Tricoupis Is one or tQ9 InOSG reIuaIkdDle uSu Ol eLe day. His father was, for life almost, Greek minister to England, and Tricoupis himself received an English education and is thoroughly posted on the affairs of Europe. A man of great industry and energy, he took upon himself not only the premiership, but the management of the treasury and tho war department. Before he began it's reorganiza- tion the Greek army was weak. He worked necessarily at schemes of military reorganiza- ton. Often, hear, he was to be found in his office late into the night. Sometimes until 1 or in the morning his light was burning, as he bent himself over military re- ports, studying questions of detail and elab-
 orating his policy of arming all Greece for the emergency. Greece, you know, is poor country, with very large debt In order to
 put her finances in better shape, Tricoupis | had to have more money, which meant, of course, more taxes. In April last the Fri
 coupis ministry fell and the present premier, Deliyannis, came into power, his platform being a reduction of taxes. But great deal of Tricoupis' work had been done, though its complete development was checked by the
 change of ministry. Greece was very strong when Tricoupis went out of office. He had I s.4 engthensd the army thas the Greece can
 put 100, 900 effective troops into the field, be l sides reserves.
