Ovr summary of the papers to hand by Thursday's mail must be briefer than usual, in consequence of a rather heavy pressure upon our space. The death of the late President still forms the subject of numberless articles, prominent among which is one in the World, which strikes out a new and original line. It is headed International Insincerities,' and embodies a protest against a good deal that has been said and written on the subject of the great catastrophe on both sides of the Atlantic, The writer deprecates the indelicate publicity that has been given to the details of General Garfield's long agony. "We need not dwell upon any of the more shameful, but exceptional, lapses in propriety of which the telegraphic reporter and his editor have been guilty in describing the incidents of the late President's illness; though we could point to one or two passages which probably outrage all the decent reticences of civilised life, and even sometimes the common pieties of human nature." So far, there is doubtless some truth in what the critic says; but we do not quite understand what he means when he sees danger in the over-sentiment that has been attributed to the English people by the English papers. It has not been perceived, he says, by Americans, how.the continuous stream of telegrams provided the much-needed material for a continuous series of leading articles, in the dead season,' It is nu mere cynicism, but the imple expression of experience and: common sense, to say that England and America may be on too good terms with each other and to add that that moment approaches whenever their reciprocal feelings are warmed much above the temperature of a friendly but unimpassioned regard." The gist of all which appears to be that the writer fears a reaction; and however much truth there may be in his condemnation of international gush,' we can only say that here we do not quite agree with him.—While on the subject, however, we may be excused for reproducing the following interesting details of the personal appearance of President Arthur President Arthur is a tall handeomo man, the massive shoulders which American love to look upon, Remarkably good ders, however, always inspire thi that ide, like his character, will bear examination.
The conversion from Catholicism of Count Campello has naturally created a profound impression in all circles, Catholic and Protestant.
