ease and interest of his conversation, which, however, was captious and cynical as regarded men of the Revo- lution.
 He said that we had no just idea of their relative merit or importance, or of their action; that he at one time in- tended to write history of that perl cd, and to that end had (when in the senate) with his own hand transcribed from documents to which he then had access, but that his manuscript, with much other material which he had col lected for his work, was lost or de- stroyed, and that he no longer had sui ficient interest in the subject to induce him to renew his labor. He added that it was, moreover, now too late-that the world had adopted the lie as its creed, and that it preferred to believe and would adhere to that lie rather than substitute the truth"
 Both MT. Wightman and Mir Silliman have kept pace with the progress oi events. The friendship formed by these two men in their college days has never been broken. In, the matter o1 phyeical activity they are very mucl alike, and they occasionally visit each other in their respective offices and so- clably exchange recollections of the ole times.

THINKS THE ARGUMENT UNANS-
 WERABLE.

The report of Postmaster General Gary, embodying as it does the reports and recommendations of the assistant postmaster general, Is an exceptionally important document. A large part of the volume is devoted to an argument, to uor mind unanswerable, in favor of the prompt institution by this country of a postal savings bank system. The array of facts and figures marshaled to show the timeliness and importance of this step ought to make a deep im- pression upon the congressional mind The enormous growth of the postal money-order business is adduced as showing how the people already patro- nize the postal service for the trans mission of funds. That they would avail themselves of it to deposit their savings Is beyond question. Within a very few years the deposits would be counted by the hundreds of millions The time is certainly suspicious for the adoption of this policy of postal savings banks. Further than that, however, it ought to be possible to com bine that policy with some plan for the improvement of the currency system.- Review of Reviews.

Moody, alias Blair Moody, for grand larceny. He received this morning another requisi- tion from His Excellency of New York asking for the extraditfon of Moody on another charge, that of the larceny of a gold bond of 1000 of the St. Paul, Minnesota and Manitoba railroad from Rosamond H Owen, of whose property Moody was trustee. District Attorney O1cott submitted a carefully prepared brief in behalf of the state of New York. Lawyer Hotchkiss of New Ha- ven, counsel for Moody. promised to submit a brief, in reply, on or before next Saturday. Until Governor Cooke has both briefs he will not determine whether Moody shall be extradited.
