While tbe oouutry ia undoubtedly greatly dissatisfied with tbe restric­ tions of the Hay-Pauucefote treaty, it is difficult to see what better can be done if Great Britain really refuses to concede further. The initial mistake was in adopting tbe Olayton-Bulwer treaty iu the first place, and in not taking advantage of British violations of that instrument to declare it abro­ gated. As the ease stands, tbe treaty is still in force and we are a t Britain’s mercy. ARROWRROTR. Steed Death Off, E, B. MundSy, a lawyer ofHen­ rietta* Tex,, once ^fooled a grave­ digger.

The prisoner wax standing- in th e dock with his cys ca st down, listening in despair to th e conclusive evidence against him. Providently he raised his eyes a t some direct question from the Judge, aud was about to speak when his eyes fell upon th e distin­ guished strang er sitting on th e bench. He paused and staggered, then gripped a t the air and fell senseless in th e dock. When a t la s t he was brought round be stood up and, pointing a t th e stranger, gasped for b re a th and tried to speak. “What is it, my man?” said th* Judge. “Steady yourself.
