HALsBURY WILL NOT RETIRE.
English Lord Chancellor Is in Good
Health and Well Satisfied.

NEW YORK. April ia dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
The runior Of Lord Halsbury's re-
tirement from office is the idle breath
Of state gossip. The lord chancellor Is
in good health and not in a mood for
complaining Of the burdens Of an Of
fee which Is a stronghold Of power. All
the chief appointments for the bench
are recommended by the lord chancellor
with the single exception Of the lord
chief justice. and Lord Halsbury Is an
old time lawyer who thrlves on per-
sonal authority and clings to 1t with
the intensity Of pride. No member OF
tire government Is likely to resign vol
unfairly the year before a coronation
except Lord Salisbury himself. whose
health is impaired, possibly beyond the
hope Of permanent revival.

4 Thanksgiving Hint.

There is a great deal of charity in
the world, particularly on Thanksgiving
Day. ard 1t is to be hoped that there is
not a person in Washington so poor
and destitute as to go dinnerless today
The charitable societies. the hotels. the
churches. and everybody who has any
money to spare at all cannot but be
ready to alleviate suffering for this one
day at least But there is something
more 10 be said on the subject.
II is not of much use TO give people
one good dinner, even if they do have
enough left over for next days meals,
and then leave them TO starve and
freeze Tor the rest Of the winter. TuT-
key IS good. but -four, and coal, and
clothes, and blankets, are also good,

pennies for the mere necessaries Of life

having a supply Of tea, or coffee, or
sugar which viii last at least a week
Almost everyone has some superfuous
belongings which will help to keep some
poor soul warm, if a little trouble is
taken in hunting them up; and there
Is no better time to do such things than

the world IS running over with good

We are creatures in bondage to sym

The Life-Saring service.

1t Is interesting to know that the loss
OF life from the peTiIs of the sea was
less this last year than in any year
since 1879 IN addition to the thank
fuIness one feels for this condition in
itself, there is matter for congratula-
tion in the fact that a diminution in
the loss of life means the building of
stronger and safer vessels and the i'm
prOvement of our life-saving arrange
ments.
In 1880 one person was drowned in
every forty-one accidents at sea. This
last year one person has been drowned
in every forty-fiYe casualties. The i'm
provement is considerable. and when
it is remembered that 1880 was a year
particularly free from marine disas-
ters. the figures become moTe~sa Jisfac-
tory.
One hears little of the United states
Life-Saving Service, but the evidences
of its work are frequently with Us. and
its report is one of the most practical
and most intelligent presented to the
people of the nation.
