ually urged on congress for many years, is again being brought to public notice, and the hope is expressed that the fifty first congress will see its way clear to its enactment.
 At present there is no national law regulating the settlement of insolvent estates, which leads frequently to con- plications involving much hardship to debtors and occasional injustice to creditors. Debtors whose obligations have been scattered through different states, and who have been brought into insolvency through no fault Of their own, have been unable to secure a re- lease from these obligations even after they have done their best to discharge them, while creditors whose debtors have done business in other states have frequently been defrauded of their dues by dishonesty which cannot be reached or guarded against in the absence of an interstate law. It is easy to see, there fore, that such a law is of incalculable benefit to business men generally. Creditors will be enabled under it to ob- tain their own, while men who meet reverses in business will not be entirely at the mercy of harsh and unyielding creditors. The unfortunate can thus start anew in the battle of life with the lessons of experience to guide them over the shoals and quicksands of business, and creditors will have fresh induce ments, in the knowledge of interstate protection, to do business with men whom otherwise they would not feel safe in trusting. A national law fur nishes protection alike to all, and will be hailed with joy by every man who is engaged in business that is amenable to the vicissitudes of credit.
 It is to be hoped, therefore, that the fifty-first congress will see its way cleal to the enactment of such a law. There will be republican majority in both branches, and besides, as the matter is not at all political, there is not likely to be any factious opposition from dem- ocrats to proper and we'll adjusted law.
 Indeed, democrats have in past con gresses been among the foremost ad. vocates of such legislation, and there is every reason to believe that i'll the next
 congress they will be equally urgent ir
 working for it. There is no reason ap. parently why the much needed law should not be framed and passed next winter and so give an assurance of pro.
 lection to business men that in the ab sence.of an interstate bankruptcy law they do not now possess.
 By all means give us national bank ruptcy law.

TUFTS AND TITLES.

TIE Prince of Wales has r brothers-iu law, 18 uncles, 57 cousins, bS nephews and nieces.
 THE Sultan of Zanzibar has German wife, and by singular coincidence Ger many obtains valuable concessions from his Majesty's Government denied to other towers.
 THE Prince of w ales has purchased new sniform, his eightieth. Each now costume If military character that he buys costs hlm about $45O. He therefore owns about $36,- OO0 worth of uniforms.
 THE Prince of Wales Is an accomplished card-player, but he never plays for large stakes. Upon sitting down to game he is in the habit of saying: "Gentlemen, I play only for shillings, remember that" In view of his superior skill this is considered re- markable consideration.
 THE Crown Prince Nicolas of Russia, who is now seventeen years old, Is described as an affectionate, warm hearted boy, who is a great favorite with every one and who pos sesses Democratic notions. At the same time he has his fathers imperous will and does not like to have his plans interfered with.
 THE Archduke John of Austria, the ciev- crest member of tho Hapsburg family, has been restored to i'm )erin favor. Hc has been travelling about Europe for year in the strctest incognito. He awakened En- peror Francis Joseph's antagonism, 1t will be remembered, by criticising the Austrian army in public.
 THE Duke of Wellington (Henry Welles' ley) is also Prince of Waterloo in Belgium, Duke of Ciudad Rodrigo and Grandee of the First Glass in Spain, and Duke of Vit- tor!a, Marquis of Torres Vedras, and Count de Vimiera i'll Portugal, series of foreign titles and dignitics achieved by his illustri- ous grandfather, the first Duke.
 PRINCE BISMARCK speaks all the most i'm portant nguages, including even Russian, which is by far the most difficult to acquire of the European tongues. Though it is not as linguist or an orator that the German Chancellor is chiefly distinguished, his knowledge of languages and his power over an audience are no small addition to his fame.
 PRINCESS IRENE of Hesse, who was re- gently married to Prince Henry of Prussia, has received thorough housewite's train- Ing. She can sew, make bread and do everything she would have to do were she fated to become the wife of a man not able to afford servants. All the Princesses of Hesse wero trained in this way by their mother, the late Grand Duchess, dau ghter of Queen Victoria.
 SHARP criticisms are said to have driven tho English court into the exercise of more hospitality, the lack of which has given it an unenviable notoriety. The King of Sweden was given an invitation to become the Queens guest at Buckingham Palace, but his Majesty preferred to stay at hotel, where he could the better maintain his incognito. A few years ago no such invita-. tion would have been given.
