From The London Globe.
The facilities for marriage in Heligoland have been
greatly cnrtailed since IL has become a German
possession. Among other conditions both parties mus
produce certificates OF birth in order to prevent Jews
being married there. All who are under twenty five
must produce legally attcSted written consent OF
parents or II these are dead certificate OF thcii
death Widows widowers must produce the death

they have children prove that tho property wiled &c

GUS and cynical both, and in both was character
istic of the author. A different version Of the
story is given here:
Bernal Osborne was impudent enough to say
10 him, I saw you walking in the Park with Mrs
Disraeh; tell me, what feeling can you have
towards that old lady?' Disraeh looked at him
calmly, and replied, A feeling to your nature
perfectly unknown: GraHtudc!' An answer
worthy of Athens in the days of Pericles"
1t is more personal than the other and not so
fine, but either or both may be true The care
lessness about criticism reappears in Sir William
Fraser's lively pages. 1t seemed to form part
of his ambition which was, after all, the dominant
note in his life. He said to Sir William "You
have chosen the only career in which a man is
never old. statesman can feel and inspire
interest longer than any other man." Sir William
was then young in politics; he is now old, and
his distinction in life does not associate itself in
the minds Of most men with politics Of the higher
kind But he reproduces the remark without
pcrceiving the humor of it when applied at this
day TO himself.
Disraeli could see things in many lights states

more illusions with respect TO his own than with
respect to Others career Sir William gives us good

HARTFORD. CONN, Feb. 5.-The House of
Representatives this morning, after the
transaction Of routins business. took up for
consider alton the amended resolution of the
Senate, concerning the committee of con-
ference. The resolution reads: "That a
committee of conference, consisting of Ave
senators and five representatives, be ap>
pointed to take into consideration the sop
arate action Of the Senate and the House of
Representatives on on the subject OF the late
election of state officers and report
thereon to their respective houses.n Mr.
Greene of Norwich, chairman of the COM
mittee on canvass and a member Of the
joint conference committee, objected to the
word late" in the resolution, aud it was
stricken out The amended resolution was
transmitted to the Senate, and the Heus o
took a recess till next Tuesday at o'clock.
The amendment raised hot debate in the
Senate. Several democrats refused to con-
cur, insisting that the amendment implies a
b9ck-down on the part of the Senate. This
opposition was in the face of the declaration
of Senator Pierce, who drew the resolution
and who did not oppose the change, claim
ing that it was mere veruel change and
technicAlity. At the end of a lively debate
the Senate, by a vote of 8 to s, refused to
concur with the House in its amendments,
and adjourned to Tuesday. This slaves off
any action by the conference committee
until that date.

Perfect Stream.


BRUNSWICK. GA, Feb. 5.-James w.
Drury, British vice consul at this port, died
suddenly in this city to-day with hemcr-
rhage from the lungs. He was seen in his
Office at noon, which was the last time he
was seen alive. Shortly after a negro en-
ployed by him entered the toilet room ad-
joining his office and found him lying across
the threshold, with his head surrounded
by a pool of blood. which apparently
gushed forth from his mouth The negro
was badly frightened, and called for help.
Physicians were summoned and the body
was identified as Drury's- Blood was still
oozing from the mouth and on the floor
near the feet covered a space three feet
square. The basin presented sickening
spectacle, containing fully quart
of blood. The walls were spat-
tered as if blood had gushed forth
from his mouth suddenly and with force
which could not be controlled 1t Is sup
posed that he was attacked with violent
fit of coughing. and while leaning over the
basin fatal rupture came and his strength
gave way before he could summon assist
ance. No inquest was held. Drury was a
wealthy citizen. British vice consul, director
of the state bank and secretary and treas
urer of the Brunswick Club His mother
