An exchange says shat ''some months
combine business and pleasure, but
August is not one Of them. 1t is
pleasure with the business left out
This is certainly true as far as the
business of getting news goes, at least
This is a good month for having 4 good
time, it is the very best for vacation
and is generally good for picnics and
camping ont parties. Base ball news
fill three columns of the daily paper
and politics the rest. The people here
have enjoyed the pleasures of camping
and picnies already to some extent and
as the facinations of the ball game are
not within our reach, politics and the
unreasonable weather is all that is left
to Us. Local news is about as hard to
find as the long sought Tascott.

BAD CLIMATE FOR POETS.

He had written a song on the gentle spring, And talked of sunshine and birtis that sing; Of bieating 6ocks and of purlng streams, Of budding leaves and of gay sunbeAms, Of dancing rills and of sunny glee, Of blooming bush and of blossoming treei And he said that the reign of old Winter was done, His coll rule was ended, his harsh course was run, And henceforth the glad earth would rollick in flowers, and bathe in the light and the sun. But cold storm came on when he'd finished hts rhyme, With drifts that req uired ladder to climb, And the poet who sang. of springtlme so calm Froze his foot, his left leg. his right ear and left arm; When he touched his white whiskers made frigid with sleet, They broke, brittle as glass, and fell of at his feet. And so while the cold winds were roaring about, And the elements ragged in their maddening rout, The poet came in and sat down the stove, and endeavored to thaw himself out.

Her Majesty will not come into the
Good City OF Paris, but, as on former
occasions, will merely skirt the
metropolis OF France. She will halt
for seven minutes at the BatignoIles
Station, and twelve minutes at that
of Bercy. Here a messenger from
The Embassy will leave whatever
dispatches there may be, but as the
brief halt will be made at The un-
seasonabIe hour of haIf-paSt five in
the morning, her Majesty's rest will
not be disturbed. The longest stay
will be made at Modane, where the
train will remain for fifty.fv minutes.
It is timed to arrive there ut 9.13
Friday evening. 1t is TO be hoped
thai, ii will not be delayed by the snow,
which is no resprcler OF persons.
Turin will be reached at a quarter
past two in the morning, Genoa NJ
half past six, and Pisa at Ills, the
august traveller arriving at her
journeys end AZ Florence Mt II
o'clock on Saturday afternoon. Thus
the entire journey from CherbOurg
to Florence will have been accom-
plished, if all goes well, in forty hours
the train never stopping so much
as an hour on the way. At the back

The extent to which the new En-
ppror will be able to fulfil his pro
misses is still unknown but The omens
are unfnvOurabIe. AS often happens
in his disease, the general health is
but slightly affected, and The En-
peror displays an energy bothof body
and mind which astonisheS and de
lights those around him. 1t is, how
ever, now admitted thai the disease is
cancer Of the larynX, and incurable,
and there is no reason to believe that
it is not progressing. The respiration
is often difficult, and the canula is
changed four times Il day, The En-
peror, though he can speak, rarely
does so, wiring his orders on slips
of paper; and though he sits down at
meals, he eats scarcely any solid food.
AS soon as the funeral ceremonies
are over, his Majesty will leave
Charlottpnburg, with its sharp mir
and it's sn0wstorms, for Wlesbaden
and its mildcr atmosphere, and will
remain there until the complaint takes
sorue decided turn. 1t appears to be
understood that he will not deyOlve
any of his power upon his son, but
OILY sign an order giving him power

capaCitation.

The progress Of events in Rouma-
MIA demands careful attention. 1t IS
more important to the Russian Gov
eminent to retain its influence in Blu
charest than even in Sofia itself, for
without such influence it has no means
for the safe passage of the Danube
A severe struggle has been going on
there for months, and although M.
Bratiano, who, with the Kings sup
port, represents the Austrian party,
has triumphed at the elections, it has
been by an unscrupulous use of the
Executive influence. 1t is believed
that the higher ranks Of the Amy
have been gained over by Russia, which
has always had a party among the
Boyars, or great landed propr'etors,
and has always held out hopes to the
peoplF. that, II Austri" were defeated,
the Austrian Rnum. mans should be
inclu ed in The Danubi an State. So

"C DuA0 "a A'Sy' tH"u0 -
markablr speech at a Unionist meet
ing at Cambridge on W. tnesday. He
described his own visit to the field of
Banhockburn, and how he could not
help shouting with joy when he re-
called the victory Of Robert Bruce
over Edward H.; and yet he contend
ed that the Scotch defeat AT Flodden
was richly deserved, and that, with
all his NATIONAL pride, he could not
deny thai the Union of Scotland with
England was the most benefcett of
measures. Speaking of the separate
Scottish Legislature, lie said:-"1 he
mere fact Of a separate ParIia-
ment and a separate Executive ge-
ncrated such feelings Of hatred be-
tween the two nations, that in the
early part Of the eighteenth century
they were on the point of a final and
bloody quarrel. 1t was an historical
fact that the Scotch Parliament had
come 10 a resolution that they would
cease to honour even the united
Crown; they had resolved that the
Sovereign who succeeded Queen Anne
in this country should not be So
vereIgn of Scotland. That was the
precedent for which they must look
to a separate Parliament" GAS IA
Scotchmnn, he wished to maintain oil
the memories of their national indie
Dendpnce. He liked to keep their
Church, their law, and their separate
institutions. But they rejoiced in their
complete Incorporation with the Eng
liSh people" And he called attention
o NJ. John MorIey's paradoxical
remark at Oxford that the Parliament
OF the United Kingdom, though it is
TO lay down the limits of the Irish
statutory Parliament, is nevertheless
"uttcrly incompetent to deal with the
needs OF Ireland" No speech more
discriminating in its respect for nation
al feeling, and it's stout resistance 10
legislative separation, has been made
since the issue arose, than this speech
of the Duke of ArgyIPs at Cambridge.
The Emperor OF Russia believes it
may be true that the strength of
Russia consists in isolation from the
West, and, according to a Viennese
account, said to be accurate, he has
adopted a new and singular plan for
confirming The sepnratenesS Of his
Court. He has sanctioned the be-
trothaI of his Heir-Apparent to the
Princess Militia, daughter of the
Prince of Montenegro, who hardly
belongs TO the Sovereign Houses, bat
who is of the Greek Orthodox faith.
He is about, moreover, to p%romuIgate
a family law under which the Heir
Apparent must always marry a lady
horn in the Greek Church, a r%estric-
tiOn which would confine his choice
to the Princessps of the Balkan PENN
aula, or his own subj ects. The re-
port, though given i" much DETAIL
still needs confirmation but it TALES
exactly with the general drift of the
ideas known to be current at the
Russian Court; and it may be worth
remembering, in connection with q

dangerous have affairs recently APP
ppnred, that according to "a telegram
of Msrch 18th, Prince Bismarck has
interviewed, and informed NJ. Bratinno
that she requested him TO rema'n at
the head of public affairs" NJ. Bra
tIano is said to have communicated
this wish ,o his supporters in the
Chamber, and to have described the
foreign situation as extremely critical.
Interference Of thar kind is so unusu-
al, that it is unlikely the story can
have been invented aud the most pro-
bable explanation is that Russia il
really plotting fOrthe koumanian Min
iSter's overthrow. she must, in fact,
overthrow him il she intends to inter
fere directly in Bulgaria, unless she is
ready 10 occupy the State, and waste
fifty thousand men in protecting her
line of communications.
The French Government evidently
regard he "Boulangi>t" movement
as dangerous, for the Minister of War
with the consent IF h. President has
deprived General B"ulnngrr of his
command, and placed him upon
half pay. The pretexl for this act
of authority is thai the General, after
having been refused leave If absence,
visited PnriS. three times, twice in a
sort of open diguiSD, %"wearing dark
speclaclrs, aud affecting to limp"
That is clearly naturalization; but
then, it is insubOrdinatiOn often pass
ed over without rPprimand. The
true reason WINS, of course, that Gene
raj B0ulanger had received 81 heavy
vote in seven departments, that an
active agitation is going ON i'll his
name, and that Il journal established !
his interest advocates d dictatorship.
Frnnce, il saws, does no require five
hundred clerks to do It's business.
One would do it better. W. do rot
know Why, if a Prince may b" ban
isled because he is Il political dan
ger, q popular General should not
be placed en- ~yetraite for the same rpa-
son; but The wisdom Of doing it is
much more doubtful. General Bou-
LANCER has certainly gained by his ex-
lie from Paris and by the sentence
of arrest recently passed on him, and
he mny gain also by his deprivation.
Willie on hall-pay he cannot enter the
Chamber, nor can he reside in Paris
without lave from the military au-
thoriti.s. His situation, however, will
not prevent Discontinued officers
from using his name, or awaiting them
selves of his popularity.
The Closure may prove a more
powerful weapon in our politics than
was anticipated. The House begins
to perceive it's utility in preventing
mere talk, and employs it for that
purpose with zest. On Tuesday, for
example, TIE House had a long de-
bate on Indian frontier policy, and
when il had enough of it, Mr.. Game
moved the Closure, which was agreed
to- at once. On " edneSday, also the
Tory Irreconcilablrs tried to continue

THE COURTS SAY THAT CERTAIN BIG Az
sIGSMENrs WE'RE FRAUDS.

the COURTS SAY THAT CERTAIN BIG AZ
SEDIMENTS WE'RE FRAUDS.
New YORK, April 1l.-Judge Ingham, In
the supreme court To-Day. gave decision
adjadging that the assignment which the
great day goods house OF Halsted. Haines
4 Company made in 1854 be set aside -
being fraud upon the rights Of the cred
itors. This house failed for over million
dollars. The creditors, through their coun-
sci, brought the suit 10 set aside the as
signment upon the ground that II was made
70 defraud them. The case was tried In
1885, bat the judge dismissed the complaint,
holding the assignment 10 be valid.
The second suit Of the First National
bank Of Port Chester was tried with
similar result. Appeals were made. The
judgments were reversed and new trials
were ordered. The cases came back for
second trial. which was had In January last
and was decided In favor OF tho creditors.
The Judge finds that the assignment was
not made with an honest intent; that II WAS
a fraud on the creditors and Is therefore
void. He holds that the assignment was
made TO secure the assignors themselves,
and Ia addition TO this he finds certain
preferences we're made In excess by $500
OF the amount actually due. and therefore
the creditors Of the firm were deirauded OF
this amount.
