QvITE a controversy is going on in Paris as to the last words of ex-President Thiers. The original versien credited the statesman with remarking: ‘*These beans are done too much.” The maitre @hotel, fancying, per- haps, that this was a reflection upon his cuisine, contends that what M. Thiers really did say was, “ These beans are excellent.”

Francesco Porre.o, the Italian who mur- dered his employer in New York recently, has been trying to starve himself to death in jail, but was frustrated by the use of a stomach pump, with which liquid nourishment was ad- ministered in spite of his resistance. Of what use it can he to keep him alive against his will, only to kill him on a certain specified date, does not appear; better let him die.

Lord Beaconsfield on the Situ- ation.

At the Lord Mayor’s banquet on the 6th inst., Lord Beaconsfield replying to a toast to Her Majesty s Ministers said :—‘‘When { last addressed you affairs seemed to have assumed a very critical aspect. We were accused of negotiating an entirely impractic- able treaty, and it was charged that under the pretext of acquiring a scientific Indian f.entier we had launched the country into a war full of disasters. The. impract- able treaty has been fully executed ; not a single Russian soldier now remains in Turkey ; the Czar has honorably fulfilled his engagement and is now co-operating with England and the other Powers in endeavors to maintain peace. It has been stated that Turkey has not been so faithful in execut- ing her engagements and that consequently we have not realized the reforms in her provinces promised by the Sultan; but it is only just to consider that her domains were only afew days since freed from the pres- ence of the invader, and since the signature of the Treaty of Berlin, questions more nu- merous and more difficult in the arrange- ment ef the Turkish provinces have risen before the Sultan than probably has risen within the same time before any mon- arch heretofore. I do not wish to add anything relative to the Treaty of Berlin. This Treaty has _ taken its place among the _ archives’ of the capitals of Europe. Its end is to assure general peace, and if dangers and difficulties supervene in countries to which the treaty especially relates, I believe its conditions and resources will suftice for every evéntuality. Regarding the Indian frontier, the object of the war has been ac- complished with great precision and rapid- ity. Relative to the Zulu war it is believed that in a very short time news will arrive of a satisfactory sclution of all African questions. As to the commercial depression of the country, one of the secondary causes is imprudent speculation, and there are already signs of its amelioration. If there are good harvests in all parts of the world, I believe the darkest days of the depression will have been seen.” Beaconsfield insist- ed that landed property ought to continue as at present. The conclusion of Beacons- field’s speech was received with frantic cheers. 3
