ON THE DIPLOMATIC BILL.

arrangement to have hour IN which to express his

share OF the hour 10 a discussion OF the currency
question ana an exposition of his party's views
on the subject. The debate has been the

Mr.. Springer in ridcule Of what he regarded the

requirements which revealed the erudon of some OF
the members when Mr. Springer reading one of the
State papers, called for a translation Of a
Greek sentence therein by Professor seelye.

"Omne i0notum pro magnifeo eSt'freely translated,
''Unknown things pass for grand ones" This proverb
seized upon bv Mr. CoX who arded his speech with
1t freely, besides translatng lot OF French for the
benefit of the benighted Western members.
