diplomatic establishment in London is very aristocratic in it's tendencles. MT. Olney is by no means favorably inn pressed by the merits of Mr. Bayard as diplomat, and if it rested solely with him the Delawarean would come home in a hurry. Those strained relations have been apparent to the British for eign office, it is said, and have been taken advantage of. The famous Ol- ney letter to Salisbury was interpreted in the foreign office as plain intima- tion that the British premier is maz- ing a donkey of Mir. Bayard. The lat ter is quoted, it will be remem bered, in a somewhat unfriendly spirit by Olney, that is, AIr. Bayard's statements when secretary of state are reproduced, but only in sections and in such a garbled manner as to leave an impression upon the readers mind that they present our case rather weakly.

A Colonial Lady's Wardrobe.

Mistress Jane, widow of Cuthbert Fenwicll, of Fenwick Manor, legislator, councillor, commissioner, died in 1860, leaving will through which we catch glimpses of the wardrobe and toilet of a coloniallady of the period. Toner step daughter, Teresa, she leaves the little bed, the mohair rug, and tEe yellow curtains, besides her taffeta suit and her serge coat, all her fine linen, her hoods and scarfs, except the great one," and her three petticoats-the tufted holland one, the new serge, and the spangled one. To her own three boys she gives that "great scarf, " and all her jewels, plate, and rings, except her wedding ring, which goes to Teresa; and to each bed and pair of cotton sheets. To her stepsons Cuth- bert and Ignatius, an ell of taffeta; to her negro maid, Dorothy, her red cot ton coat; and to Esther, the new maid, all the linen of the coarser sort. To Thomas, the Indian, two pairs of shoes and match coat; and to Thomas mother, three yards of cotton. To Rev. Francis Fitzherbert, hogshead of to- bacco annually for five years; and to her slave William, his freedom, pro- yided he pay a hogshead every year to the church; and to the church, the same William, ito be a slave forever, if he shall ever leave her communion; for had not her beloved brother, William Eltonhead and many of her dearest friends, "died by the bloody fangs of Puritan wolves ?"-John Williamson Palmer, in Century.

sTEwART's LOGIC.
Eis 'Financia1 Independeace'' Is Butsn
 Hollow Mockery.

--+ft-+Nhf.A
 Hollow Mockery.
 Senator Stewart, of Nevada. in bis free silver speech in the senate. made what the press dispatches describe as ''nn appeal for the financial as well as the political independence of the United states.' Mir. Stewart must certainly have been playing to the galleries when he did so.
 Financial independence" sounds well, but what does it mean9 Suppose we extend the idea, and cry out for "trade independence" That would mean, that we should not buy anything abroad that we can do without It would mean to stop imports of all ar- tieleS that we cannot produce. Why should we be dependent on any foreign nation for anything? Stop the im- ports of sugar! We only produce about one-tenth Of what we use, but what of that? Let US declare trade independ- ence, and not lie groyeling at the feet of tierinan. Belgian, French. West h. dian and South American sugar pro- ducers!
 Then there is tea. We cannot raise it here. We have 10 buy every pound we use of China and Japan Let us stop being basely dependent on those countries for tea. Why should we pay out millions of dollars every year to enrich the lea growers of Asia2 True, Americans are fond of tea; but let them go back to sassafras. or some of the many 'yafbs" used by our grand mothers to make hot drinle
 Of course, in carrying out such policy, We would also stop all importa- ton Of coffee. We are the slaves of the coffee planters of Brazil and other South American states, not to speak os the Mohammedan coffee producers of Araba and the east. Why should we be in bondage to them, and pay out millions per year for the berries of tree? Parched rye or corn, touched up with burnt Orleans melasses, was a popular drink in the eonfederacy during the war. Let us carry out Sen ator Stewards plans and declare our independence offoreign coffee planters. Let us promote the interests of our own people, who raise corn and rye!
 Then there are hundreds of other things and spices, bananas, dates, figs, silks, quinine. and so on that we do not produce. Letus declare our independence of the foreigner, once for all, stop importing these things, and keep the millions at home that we spend for them. Let us be independent
 All of the above propositions are strictly in line with Senator Stewards suggestion. Gold-or money, if you prefer that terfnis simply q conn Iuodity. exactly as coffee and tea, sugar and spices, and the other ar ticles enumerated. are commodities. We could get along without them. possi- bly, but the substitutes would be in- ferior, and would not be liked by the people, Senator Stewards proposition is in plain terms, to abandon the use of gold and substitute silver instead. IL would be IS silly to do this as it would be to abandon all use of wheat as a breadstuff, and use corn instead; to abandon tea, and use sassafras; to abandon coffee, and use parehed rye.
 Senator Stewart is demagogre, a blind leader of the blind. Fortunately, the peopleare getting their eyes opened and begin to see the truth concerning Stewart and his fellow-conspirators Toledo Blade

CALLED HIM THIS. and Arehbishop Corrigan is the American who will next be elevated to the sacred college. The attempts to injure the prelate are now acknowledged have been futile, and his standing at the vatican is of the high est. It further appears that the pope was actually scandalized by the ire weren't nature of the attacks by some priests upon the archbishop, these go- ing to the undignifed length of term ing his grace of New York an ostrich, and so forth. However, all that is over and done with, and St. Patrieks eathe- dral will in time be the center ofmagnifi- cent ceremonies upon the installation of Cardinal Corrigan. It was feared that the archbishop might discipline certain of the ecclesiastics who attacked him, but it is now known that he deems such step beneath his dignity, and moreover it has always been his policy to heal dissensions instead of aggra- vating them.

It Is Time for the Honest Sentiment If

the Country to Assert ltseif.
 The past ten years of free silver agifa- tion show that it's triumphs have heen confined to the mouths of few free silver men, We have been told, from first to last, that the south was hot for silver; that the west was burning for it; that the entire country was frantic for it, with the exception of a little patch touching the Atlantic coast north of the Delaware. All humbug.
 With trifing exceptions free silver has been swept from the field of battle every time 1t ventured there. All that it has been able to do has been to talk. It has been beaten out of sight every time, and conclusiyely. Not q state i'll the union, barring perhaps Mississippi or Utah, could be carried to-day for free silver. The modification that must follow this fact has TO doubt stimu- lated the silver men in the senate to. make Inst desperate stand in yindi- cation of themselves. They have been repudiated by the country on all sides. They are without following and with out authority to disturb US further with their theory. But they have the votes in the senate and they propose to use them. They hold the fort; and what shall we do about it?
 It is for the country to lash these modern free lances with the truth. They are buccaneers for their own van- ity. They are using the commissions given to them by their constituents for purposes which their constituencies con- demn. Let them hear from the public, soon and with ernphnsis.-N. !. Sun.

Ice and Rock.

Prof. George E. Becker writes that in regions near the pole ice is as much a rock as limestone. This may remind some who might not have thought of it otherwise, that the essential differ cnoe between ice and granite, consid- cred as rocks, is merely matter of the greater or less degree of heat it takes to 'sthaw'' tkam.

SALISBURY'S SPEECH.

The address of Lord Salisbury at the
Lord Mayors banquet in London was
chiefly notable for the references made to
the settlement of the Venezuelan contro-
versy, the possible interference of the
powers for the protection of Armenia, and
the position of the British Government
with reference to Egypt.
On the first subject, Lord Salisbury s
statement will be satisfactory to the
American people. He declares: "Our
difficulty for months as been to define
settled districts, and the solution mas, /
think, come from the Government of the
United States that we should treat our
colonial empire as we treat individuals:
that the same lapse of time which protects
the latter in civic life from having their
title questioned should similarly protect
an English colony"
While the Governments of the United
States and of England have not vet
reached an agreement as to whether the
English colonies in Venezuela have any
right there, against the claims of the
Venezuelans, it seems clear from the
statement of Lord Salisbury that the
principle upon. which the question is to be
