A pisraeli Aneedote.

As is the case with most English speaking
statesmen on both sides of the Atlantic the
French language was a weak point Of Lord
Beaconsheld- He could read it well enough,
says Paul Howard, in London Chat. but he
was lamentably at sea 10th with regard to
accent and idiom- Consequently his col
leagues we're alarmed when, at the Berlin
conference. in 1873. he announced his inten-
ton OF addressing that August body in
French After much hesitation the late
Lord Ampthill. at the time British ambassa-
dor at Berlin, undertook the delicate task of
mtmating to the earl that his English would
be preferable to his French. He called upon
Lord Beaconsheld at his hotel, and before
taking his leave remarked:
BY the by, must tell you how much dis
appointment was felt by the other plenipo-
tentiarles when it became known that you in
tended to address the congress in French"

orally to the consideration of the questions
which will arise
Il think there Is a good deal in what you
say, observed Lord Beconsdeld, whose de-
French tongue was dissipated by the subtle
tattery, and it Is nee Hess to say that the
earl addressed the historical congress in
English.

The New Anarchy.


From the Chicago Herald lDeml
CoXeyism is anarchy because il undertakes
TO seize public and private property unlaw-
fully; because it dehes all authority federal
state and municipal, if defiance re necessary
to ITS object, because il undertakes to com
pei the thrifty and industrious TO support or
ganlzed yagrancy; because 1t demorallzes la
Dor, threatens useful capital. destroys the
ployed. ana because it projects, so far as it is
IN its power to do so, an alien and hostile ele.
ment into the public opinion of the country
substituting intimidation and violence for
reason and law. The new anarchy. born of
the spurious doctrine OF protection and propa-
gated by monopohes and trusts, could not
aftilct the country to day, but for the treason

The Progress Of the Peanut.

The chief functions of the great Amer
lean peanut for great many years were
to impart snap to dull public meetings
and afford fitting adjective with which
TO describe small politicians. At the
present day, indeed, the peanuts noto-
riety in these particulars predominates.
Nevertheless, it's field has been grea thy
extended. Within few years it was dis
covered that peanut oil, of which the
kernel contains a large percentage, was
an excellent salad oil and might be used
for various culinary purposes. And about
the same time it was learned that the oil
cake was good food for cattle, The grow
ing favor of the peanut for oil and cattle
feeding purposes has led to a large i'm
portation of the commodity into Germany
where methodical scientists have been in
vestigating and experimenting with the
kernels to see what further possibilities
they might contain.
According to the report of Consul Gen
eral Mason, at Frankfort, the investiga-
lions have demonstrated that the meal
after the extraction of the oil is good not
only for cattle food, but excellent also for
human food. The meal, with some addi-
tional preparation, has been used for soup
in hospitals, and all the patients-120 in
number-who have partaken of it have
found it pleasant and palatable, and the
physicians have pronounced it highly
digestible, nutritious and very durable, u
for want of better descriptive term
The sustaining power Of the meal is char,
acterized as remarkable, being greater
than that of the hitherto unequaled sofa
bean" of Japan and China.
The imperial war department has beer
so favorably impressed with the value Of
peanut meal that it is probable it will be
included in future garrison and field sup
plies for the German army. Its richness
in heterogeneous elements makes it prob
able that the German peasantry, whose
meat supply is always scant, will adopt
the peanut meal by way of filling out the
want for meat.

Osborne, of Kansas, and other agitators

strict accountability to the law for his

With the exception of the legislative
and executive bill and the general de-
ficiency bill, all of the general appropria-
tion bills have been reported to the
House. The two named will probably be
reported before the end of the week AS
soon as they are out of the way Mr..
Hatch Will endeavor to call up his anti
option bill, and MIR Bland has another
silver bill on his string that he will at
tempt to bring forward. The chances are
that Hatch's claim and BANDS claim,
each that his measure is privileged one,
will bring about conflict; in which case
the House could do nothing better than to
refuse to consider either bill at the time,
and make arrangements for putting the

free shin bill is in demand, and there is a

A thin coating of gravel on the walks
in Forsyth park would be a great i'm
provement and add to the comfort of
those who frequent the beautiful breath
ing spot. Under existing conditions the
walks are covered with layer of almost
impalpable dust which covers the
shoes and clothes of pedestrians even
when there is no breeze. When a gust of
air strikes the walks a cloud of the dust
is sent over whatever may be in the way,
as is evidenced by the dust-covered foil
age Sprinkling the walks improves the
conditions somewhat, but not nearly so
much as would an inch of coarse gravel,
followedwith daily sprinklings.

Hypnotism promises to play an impor-
tant part in the Meyer murder case now
on trial in New York Dr. Meyer and
his wife are the defendants in the case.
The charge against them is that they had
the life of man named Brandt insured
for large sum. Before the insurance
was taken out, however, the wife of
Meyer was married TO Brandt and the
insurance was taken out in her name,
This was done in order that the insurance
might be easily collected. The assistant
district attorney who. is conducting the
case for the state, received an unsigned
letter day or two ago in which it was
stated that Mrs. Meyer is hypnotized
and inundated, and that if she
were released from the hypnotic in
fiuence she might tell the whole
story of the killing of Brandt.
Mrs. Meyer has been a mystery thus far
In the case. She is a good-looking and
well-bred woman who does not appear to
be in sympathy with her husband The
assistant district attorney says that
hypnotism may yet play an important
part In the trial. He intimates that he
knows the man who hypnotized Mrs.
Meyer, and will put him on the witness
stand if the way for him to do so is
opened.

The American Academy idea.

Gen. Lew. Wallace and Prof. Spofford,
the librarian of congress, are credited
with being the originators of the idea
embraced in bill introduced by Repre-
sentative Black, of Illinois, to create an
American Academy modelled somewhat
on the lines of the French Academy Of
Immortals. The bill contemplates the
appointment of three senators and three
members of the House as a committee,
which is to select five persons of distinc-
tion in literature, science and the arts.
These five are to select twenty others,
and the twenty-five thus selected are to
form the academy. All of the persons
selected are to be citizens of the United
States and distinguished in the arts and
sciences The academy is to be contin-
uous body, and the members are to fill
vacancies so that the quota of twenty-five
shall be preserved.
There is room for any amount of doubt
that the United States have a need for
such an institution. The French lin
mortals, f" with Zola's assistance from the
outside, frequently make themselves the
laughing stock of newspaperdom; and
that IS about all a lot of American I'm
mortals, under the patronage of the gov
eminent, would succeed in doing The
government is already interested in sew
eral high scien tific Institutions, the Smith.
sonian Institution among them, that are
doing good work in disseminating useful
information. If there is more public
money to be put into academies of any
kind, it should go to the scientific estab.
lishments that do good to the people, and
not into a club for the aristocrats of arts
and letters.
But, to grant the desirability of estab-
fishing an American Academy of Immor,
tails, where are the American immortals
Are there twenty-five living Americans
in the arts and science who could qualify
according to the highest canons of criti
cism3 A start might be made with Lew
Wallace, and Howells, and Edison, and
Bell, and j. @. A. Ward, and one or two
others. But who is the great Ameri
can painter, Carpenterl Who is the poet
laureate, Glider, Field, Riley, or H. c
Bunnerl
An authentic list of twenty-five Ameri
can candidates for immortality through
the means suggested would be an inter
esting one. And it would be riddled
with the solid shot of competent criti
cism, and the light musketry of current
wit before it had been in print a week.

The case of Lawrence Spiller, the negro
rapist and murderer, at Staunton, Va, is
unique. He committed the crimes on
Monday, was taken before the grand Jury
and indicted on Tuesday, was tried, CON
victed and sentenced to be hanged on
June on Wednesday,. Thus within
sixty hours of the commission of the
terrible deeds he was under legal sentence
of death for them. This is probably the
quickest work in the criminal history of
that state, if not in the whole
country. If it could be arranged so that
Justice could be as speedily melted out by
the courts to rapists everywhere, lynch
ings would probably disappear.
