PERSONAL AND IMPERSONAL.
At the last census of the German Empire,
taken December 1, 1880, the population was
45,149,172, an increase of five millions since
the census of 1871.
The Republicans of the Second Congres
sional District nominated ex-Governor Nel
son Dingley, Sr., for Congress, in place of
Frye chosen United States Senator.
The Czar still keeps himself a close pris
oner at Tatschina. Sappers and miners have
dug up every rod of ground within a mile
of the palace in search for the mines. The
water used is brought from St. Petersburg.
The Navy Department decides to substi
tute shoulder-straps for the shoulder-knots
worn by all officers of the grade of ensign.
Officers of this grade will also be allowed to
wear chapeaux and epaulettes rn dress oc
casions.
All roads lead to Rime. It was discovered
in the Cleveland Convent on the other day
that Secretary Windom, whose financial
achievements were the subject of a eulogy
from J, hn Sherman,- was an Ohio boy. This
makes Mr. Windom eligible to convention
lightning.
It is significant of the attractions which
the Australian comonies offer at present to
tnmigrants that whereas 31,7 2 persons emi
grated in April from Liverpool to the United
bIates, tUhidteen went thence to Australia.

W ickanm, delegate of the Hepublicans
froai Virginia, had a satisfactory interview
wilt the Pt'rsident, who snic the Virginia
IRepuijiicans must decide ther mselves whether
the reacjusters were tainted with repudia
tien. Nobody was authorized to promise
pa:ronage for him or threaten removals. He
w1ould not be dictated to by any man, but ar!
point with a view to public good and the fit
ness of the appointees. He opposes the bats
systern and will not give the State patrunage
to any one man.
The greatest d!fficulty in framing a new
Anglo French treaty appears to arise from
the firm purpose of the French government
to impose specific duties on textiles, which
the British manufacturers contend woul I ,x
elude their products from the French mar
kcet. The French government upholds the
new duties in order to protect home industry
and prevent evasions of the revenue. The
British Parliament on the other hand, has de
clared by a vote of 77 to 49 that no commer
cial treaty will be satisfactory which does
not reduce the duties. Great efforts will be
made to adjust the matter, but at present
there is much obstinacy on both sides.
Another of the dark tragedies of African
exploration is reported ironm Aden. An
Italian party consisting of an officer and 14
men, while attempting to penertrate Abys
sinia from Assab bay, have been massacred
in the interior. The Italians have been ac
tive of late years in efforts to gain accurate
knowledge of the country lying west of the
Gulf of Aden, and the fate of this party will
be likely to put a stop to further attempts for
present. if the massacre is shown to have
been committed upon territory under the at
thority of the King of Abyssinia there will
be an opportunity for the Italian government
to imitate the English and send a military ex
pedition to demand redress. Italy is too busy
with home problems, however, to be eager to
seek for glory in Africa.
Two of the Chicago daily ncwspapers
printed the revised New Testament completc.
This gave achance to revive an old story.
A pugilistic bummer picked up a copy of one
of these papers, and his eyes happened to
fall on an account of the crucifixion. He read
the narrative with astonishment and increas
ing indignation. At length he darted into
the street, grabbed a jew who was inoffen
sively passing, and gave him a tremendous
trashing. "What did you that for?" asked
the policeman who rescued the victim. "Be
cause he is a Jew," was the reply, "and
crucified the Savior." "Why that happened A
slmost two thousand years ago," said the
officer. The wrath of the fighter was partly
blown out in a long whistle, and he remarkd
"Well, I never heard of it until a few min
utes ago."
A correspondent of the FrankfaUrter
Zietung describes an extraordinary scene in A
one of the most frequented cafes in Paris. A
number of Germans who had been drinking
until they were lively, began to shout, "A
bas les juifs" ("Down with the Jews !")
Everybody in the place turned their eyes and
looked at them, there were general signs of
anger, and the cry was raised, "Ah ! velia
des barbares allemands" ("They are German
barbarians !", and was caught up and repeat
ed on all sides. Others shouted, "We know
no difference between Christians and Jews.
We are Frenchmen !" Great uproar followed
and it was sometime before quiet was re
stored. Presently the Germans again raised
the cry, "Down with the Jews !" Upon
this the Frenchmen no longer confined them
selves to words, but, setting upon the Ger
mans, drove them out of the place.
Last winter was ushered in on the Pacific
coast by unusually long spells of heavy rain,
and was marked later by severe storms and
by freshets that had not been equalled in
twenty years. Summer has opened on our
side of the continent with weather that re
semb!es the beginning of last winter in the
Pacific Sta:es. It remains to be seen whether
the similarity is to continue throughout the
season. Though this might make it very
unusual summer, it would only be in keeping
with the eccentricities of temperature and of
weather generally that have been observed
in various parts of the world during the past
two years, and that have to some extent
borne out the predictions of remarkable
phenomena to be witnessed in consequence 0(
of the unusual positions of the planetary
bodies. War, pestilence, and the end of the
world have been predicted. These have not I
come, but we have had extraordinary
weather.
The fact that a few days ago M. Gambetta
saw Cahors for the first time since his en
trance in public life has led some Parisian
journals to recall reminiscences of the boy
hood of the orator. In Cahobers, which "is
opening its arms to welcome back the eagle
to its nest," M. Gambetta was born in 1838,
and in 1849 he was taken to the small school Sai
at Montfaucon to be taught Latin. In ap
pearance he was short and stout. As to his
proficiency as a scholar, authorities differ. y
The Figaro says I'he was a turbulent, noisy ui
chatterbox," good-natured, but so lazy that
he spent two years in the lowest class. On
re, the other h tnd, the Voltaire tells a wonder
fas ul story of the mastery which "le jeune
ice Gambetta" hid attained over the Illiad when
he was a pupil at the Lycee of Cahbrs in
es-1851. As the Voltaire admits that M. Gam-.
el- betta was "too fond of play," it is to be
of feared that this anecdote of his precocity
cannot be regarded as historical.
