On Wednesday in Commons Lord Edmund fltzmaurice, liberal, : moved an amendment to land bill conferring benefit to tenancies to value of l00, only excluding 13,000 ; tenants. Mr. Gladstone vigorously opposed it and declared that the government would be a party to no such distinction. .The amendment was rejected by a vol e of 241 to 205: The narrowness of the majority was the lowest in three votings excepting one. The Times suggests the probability that the bill will be amended in tke House of Lords. A new method of producing iudigo blue has been discovered, wh ich may affect the commerce of India and Amer ica. The groom Of an English gentle man accidentally cut bis foot, and the scarlet sock which he wore turned the color of indigo-blue ' by the effects of the blood. It was not difficult for a chemist to analyze the indigo blue and scarlet, or the chemical substances .which produced them.

He was born in New, Hampshire August 18, 1803, ind his grand-father began the war at Bunker Hill and end ed , at'.' - Yo'rk'town. .-His. father dying while he was 14 years of age, he was indebted to bu mother chiefly for h-is character, and afterwards to bis lecal preceptor, the Hon. Josiah Vlaincy, of the town of Rumncy, where Clifford was born. Here' he remained fiv years reading in the meantime the curricu lum, probably of Dartmouth. Having been Attorney-General of Maine, where he settled at the town ot Limerick, he reached Congress in 1839, and sat till 1843. In 1846 he was made Attorney General by President Polk, then'sent as Minister Plenipotentiary to Mexico, and then 'in 1858 succeeded Benjamin R. Curtis, who had resigned from' the Supreme Court, and has sat until his death. - " :' He was on that august bench for S3 years. He was junior Justice when he went on in ISGS, and senior Justice in service by more thsn 10 years before he died, lie ' reached tbe bencn a year after , Chief Justice ' Taney fired that bomb-shell, that judicial dynamic, called the Dred-Scott Case, and which made Taney himself forever after the. champion of slavery. As late as 1S76 he became the presiding officer of the Electoral Commission, and voted inva riably with., the Democrats on all the votes. He did not go lo the White House during Hayes' 'term of office, excepting officially, or as a matter of etiquette,, if 'even then.. He was the last nearly of that halcyon Democratic era, ' begun with Andrew Jackson, cf florc seed with Folk and Pierce, ana whose sun set iu the gloomy wretched ness of Buchanan. 1 1 ouht La be said however; that ho was tho Lord Ches terfield of the Supreme Court, in bis serener days, and was ' ihe fir uf ii 1 r - . etiquette, as be was in aratority of er tke.
