TAPPING THE WIRES.
It is suspected that the Irish volunteer
bill, which failed in the House of Lords
Thursday night, was squelched by the ac
tion of the Peers, who are great landed pro
prietors in Ireland. The government ap
proved the bill on the ground that they
thought it impolitic to fix a stigma of dis
loyalty on Ireland.
The report that Cetywayo had offered to
surrender himself is unconfirmed.
Rev. Newman Hall, the noted Congre{ra

Two murderers, Smith and Hall, were to
have been hung at Murfreesboro, Tennes
see, yesterday, but having appealed to the
Supreme Court their execution was delayed

The motion for a new trial in the case of
James A. Whalen vs. General Phil Sheridan,
for trespass on property situated on Killona
plantation, Louisiana, of which the plain
tiff was dispossessed by the defendant on
the Sth of August, 1SG7, and in which
damages were placed at over half a million
dollars, was yesterday denied by Judge
Wallace in an opinion filed in the Clerk’s
office of the United States Circuit Court of
New York.
A light vote was polled in Tennessee at
the election held in that State on Thursday
on the proposition to compromise the State
debt at fifty cents on the dollar, with four
per cent, interest. Unless East Tennessee
gives a large majority for acceptance the
Indications are that the proposition will be
defeated.
The Norwegian bark Harmonie, from
Quebec for London, has arrived at North
Sydney for repairs. She reports that in lati
tude 40, longitude 5S, on August 3d, at 6:20
a. m., she collided with the British bark
Eleanor of Belfast. The Harmonie suffered
much damage, but she did not ascertain
what damage the other vessel sustained on
account of the thick fog which prevailed.
The Villa Marie Bank in Montreal has
suspended, and runs are now taking place
on two other banks. Great excitement
prevails.
Jacob E. Ilainlaine, murderer of Peter
Maddox at San Antonio, Texas, in February
last, was yesterday hung in that city.
Captain Webb, the famous English
swimmer, will next Wednesday attempt to

Russian exports of grain during the
mouth of May' were 7,000,000 bushels less
than in the corresponding period last year.
Ihe export of grain for the first five mouths
of the present year was 60,000,000 bushels,
against 100,000,000 bushels in the same time
last year.
Some correspondents in South Africa
think it possible for Cetywayo to overcome
the native force sent against him, and that
Sir Garnet Wolseley underestimates the ene
my as much as Lord Chelmsford overesti
mated him. Several additional bodies of
British troops are to be sent home. It Is
not expected that ttife Zulu chief, SecocoenI,
in the north will submit without fightiDg.
Five thousand men will soon march against,
him if be continues obstinate.
The Bankers’ Convention assembled yes
terday at Saratoga, and several papers were
read anil discussions entered into in regard
to subi^t* of interest to banks and bankers
generally. The convention then adjourned
sine die.
Twenty-two cases of fever (fourteen col
ored) and eight deaths were reported yes
terday in Memphis. Orders have been Is
sued to prohibit any persons whatever from
landing at that city from any boat, unless
they have had yellow fever or are able to
provide for themselves. The Howards
placed thirty additional nurses on duty yes
terday.
The excitement over the Montreal Bank
troubles is increasing. The Directors of the
Vilie Marie Bank say that the bank will be
able to pay all its liabilities within a rea
sonable time. The run on the City and
District Savings Bank Is the most serious
that has taken place.
A fire at Sarajevo, Turkey, yesterday de-
stoyed a thousand buildings and rendered
homeless ten thousand persons. At 10
o’clock last night it was still raging.
The cotton house of C. Hyllested & Co.,
"No. 7 South William street, New York,
failed yesterday. 'The tsUuro i* .attributed
to a decline in cotton of about three cents
per pound since the late failure of Williams,
Bimie & Co., and also to the fact that the
house was “long” on the market.
Beer and the Cost of It.—From
May 1, 1878, to May 1, 1879, there were
made and sold in the city of New York
1,343,180 barrels of lager beer. In each
barrel there are four kegs, and each keg,
at retail, averages 115 glasses of beer,
making the total sales 617,392,800 glasses
which, at five cents per glass, which the
consumer pays for it, will give $30,870,
140 as the amount annually expended in
Mew York for beer alone. It is equal to
about $30 per capita of the entire popu
lation, or about $180 per annum for each
head of a family—$15 a month; the
wages, in fact, of an average farm hand
who-boards on the farm. It amounts, in
another view of the case, to nearly three
per cent, upon the total assessed valua
tion of New Yoik, and is within about
$3,000,000 of the total municipal taxa
tion of that heavily taxed city. The
beer score is probably larger than the
whisky score, but both together reach a
frightful sum.
The Maine election, if the Republicans
are to carry it, must give them 65,000
votes, or 12,000 more than they got last
year. They must bring out all their re
serves and win back some of their re
volte rs who have joined the Greenback-
ers. Well informed New England jour
nals seem to doubt their -ability to do
this. They say that the canvass is lan
guid, and that Sherman’s “boom,’’’while
it may have helped him personally in
Blaine's stronghold, certainly did not
help the party much, the issue in Maine
being local exclusively, not national.
There is also said to be a decided reluc
tance in some quarters to drill under
Blaine s lead, and this may prevent the
full vote from being brought out
The names of five more persons are to
be added to the long list of those who
have died on the scaffold because they
committed murder in order to defraud life
insurance companies. The list is a dark
as well as a long one, and the evidence of
carelessness, on the part of insurance
companies is as conspicuous as the guilt
of the wretches who became murderers
for money. The five men who are to be
hanged are five of the six who were con
victed of insuring the life of old Joe Ra-
foer, a resident of Indiantown Gap, Pa.,
and then drowning him. A new trial
has bsen granted to one of the six; the
remaining five are left to their fate.
Meantime the insurance companies who
took the money on Joe Raber’s life are
in pocket to the amount of the premium
paid.
The Bi-Metallic Standard.
Our Washington special, which ap
peared in Thursday’s issue of the News,
gave us the information that the State
Department bad received official advices
from Berlin stating that the Genri&n
Government had signified its willingness
to co operate with the United States in
the consideration of the silver question,
with a view to the establishment of the
bi-metallic standard, and this informa
tion was corroborated by a dispatch from
the Associated Press published yester
day. We may infer, therefore, that an
other international convention to estab
lish the monetaiy value ft silver and the
bi-metallic standard of currency will
soon assemble, and that under the leader
ship of Germany and the United States
this convention will be more successful
than the one held for the same purpose
some months since.
This decision of Germany is the more
significant when it is remembered that
when the International Monetary Confer
ence above alluded to was called by this
country, that nation, more prominently
than any other in Europe, stood
aloof, and treated with contempt
the proposition to remonetize silver, and
give that metal an international recogni
tion as a standard of currency. Indeed, the
action of Germany did more to prevent
an agreement on that subject being then
reached, than did that of any other Eu
ropean power, not even excepting Eng
land. It is, therefore, truly remarkable
that now Germany should be the first to
intimate to the United States a willing
ness to enter into a discussion of these
important questions
The reasons for this sudden change of
base are shown in an interview recently
held "between Prince Bismarck and Hon.
William D. Kelley, member of the House
of Representatives from Pennsylvania.
The latter named gentleman reports
Prince Bismarck as saying in effect that
the desire to unify the diversified coins
of the different States, and the posses
sion of a large amount of gold for the
time being, led to the adoption of
single gold standard by the German Em
pire. This means that the French in
demnity fund furnished the opportunity
for trying the gold standard in imitation
of England. The French fund, which
perhaps seemed inexhaustible at first,
has been used up, however, and the Ger
man Government has no longer any sur
plus funds with which to continue the
costly process of retiring silver, selling
it at a loss and substituting gold
to take its place. The people
there had been used to a single
standard of the cheaper metal and
were suddenly forced to transact their
business on a single standard of the
dearer metal. This change exerted a
substantial influence in bringing about
a universal shrinkage of prices, which
was the precursor of the hard times in
Germany. These conditions opened Bis
marck’s eyes to the fact that the con
tinued retirement and disuse of silver as
money would subject the government
and the people to new hardships and
prolonged depression, and he wisely de
termined to revise his policy.
It is also worthy of note that the Ger
man Premier does not propose to return
to the adoption of a single silver stand
ard, but is an advocate and friend of
bi-metallism. He has at last recognized the
fact that the tendency of a single stand
ard is always not only to create a strin
gency in money and thereby paralyze in
dustry and produce distress, but also to
give to capitalists and money specula
tors a dangerous power, enabling them
to control the money market at will,
and create panics at pleasure, to the
manifest injury of the masses. Besides
this, having recognized ihe necessity of
silver coinage, he now sees that the
proper and healthful equilibrium between
gold and silver can only be maintained
by the unreserved use of both, in proper
relative proportions, as money. He re
alizes that, under such circumstances,
should the bullion value of either metal
increase above that of the other,
there will be an immediate demand
for the cheaper metal, and a fall
ing off in the demand for the dearer,
and this would at once have the effect of
raising the price of the one and diminish
ing that of the other, and so both would
maintain their position in the financial
world. This, it is needless to repeat, is
one of the main arguments which the
advocates for a double standard in this
country have always advanced.
If Germany should determine to co
operate with the United States in efforts
to bring about the universal remonetiza
tion of silver, and the fixed ratio which
the coinage of the two metals should
bear to each other, it will almost certainly
make the movement a success, and it
will probably be decided that such ratio
shall be that of 1511° this being the
proportionate value of the metals recog
nized by all countries where both are
used, except in the United States (
alone, where the ratio of 16 to 1 has
been established. As an exchange
very truthfully remarks on this subject
“ Germany will carry Austria with it in
this movement, and these two powers,
together with the five powers comprising
the Latin Union and the United State3
will be powerful enough, even without
England, to establish and maintain an
international ratio, and thus place silver
and gold at par the world over. Indeed,
it is not impossible that England, defer
ring to the change in popular sentiment
upon this subject, which has been mani
fested in so many - ways, and to the inter
est of its trade with India, may join in
the movement; at all events, the English
Government will do nothing to discour
age the union of the other powers upon
a bi-metallic system.”
Should th^iovement for the interna
tional establishment of bi-metallism re
sult as above suggsted, the following
lessons may be profitably learned in this
country. First, that the silver bill,
which its opponents so bitterly denounced
as a “pick-pocket bill” and a dishonest
measure, was an exceedingly liberal bill,
inasmuch as it placed the ratio of the two
metals at 16 to 1, when the sentiment
of the civilized world will decide that 15}
to 1 is the properproportion. Second, that
the action of the Democracy in remone
tizing silver was as far-sighted and bene
ficial as that of the Republicans in de
monetizing it was unwise, oppressive and
disastrous. Third, that the action of the
presentCongress at the recent extra session
in postponing the considerationof the War-
ner bill [until December was very fortun
ate, jnqgmnrii ftfl by Giat ti rrm ft is likely
that events will be in such shape that the
status of silver will be better established,
and legislation on the slyer question ,cap
therefore bo enacted more intelligibly
and satisfactorily.
T “ Prt «“ BY TELEGRAPH.
Dean Stanley has written to the Lon
don Times, in answer to the objections
which have sprung up to the proposed
monument to the late Prince Imperial in
Westminster Abbey. The Dean says
THE MEMPHIS PLAGUE.
TWENTY-TWO NEW OASES AND
EIGHT HEATHS YESTERDAY,
that the monument seemed to be called
for on account of the unusual and exten
sive manifestations of sympathy for the
dead Prince. “The tragic associations,”
he adds, “connected with the fate of a
foreign Prince, bearing a great historic
name, fighting under the British flag,
and giving his life for the country which
had received him and his parents as
guests, and which had learned to honor
him personally for his blameless and en
gaging character, were such as
to give him a claim to be
ranked among those Princes to whom
Westminster Abbey has at various
times given shelter or admitted memo
rials under its roof.” As to the objec
tions of limited space in the Abbey and
the desire to economize it for the memo
rials of eminent Englishmen, while they
are strong enough, they do not apply to
this particular case, since the Queen has
designated & spot for the monument, not
in the Abbey Church proper, but in the
royal mausoleum known as Henry YIL’i
chapel, which is reserved for royalty,
and is besides the Queen’s private pro
perty. Two of the royal family of France
are already interred there, the Duke
of Montpensier, brother of Louis
Philippe, and the Queen of Louis
XVIII. “The Abbey,” says the Dean
“knows no difference of politics, foreign
or domestic. It is, as Lord Macaulay
has well described it, ‘the great temple
of silence and reconciliation.’” The
Dean adds that he i9 not acquainted with
any member of the imperial family in
France or England. No man rejoiced
more than he did in the fall of the em
pire at Sedan, and he hopes that if the
present government should fail to es
tablish itself, it will be succeeded by
constitutional monarchy under the Or
leans dynasty; but still, he should be
ashamed of himself if he allowed these
predilections to interfere with what he
believes should be the national response
to the genuine expression of national
concern for an event of singularly tragic
interest.
The coldness of Germany towards
Russia has resulted, it is said, in a great
benefit to the Leipsic booksellers, who
cannot supply the overwhelming demand
on the part of officers of the German
army for dictionaries, grammars, etc., of
the Russian tongue, maps, plans of cities
and guide books. It is the custom of
the Germans to “study up” about any
pountry with which there is any possi
bility of their going to war. It is said
that there is a latent but bitter hatred
between Russians and Germans, which
now and then breaks out violently. At
one time Russia was well nigh Ger
manized. Dorpat was an exclusively
German university. Reval and Riga
were German cities in which Russian
was scarcely spoken. The tradesman
class in St Petersburg were Germans al
most entirely, and German influences
were supreme at court. But the old
Russian party raised its head, panslavism
came in the front, and, since 1861, the
Germans have been everywhere snubbed
throughout Holy Russia. It is natural
that the Germans should resent this, and
it is said that a war between Russia and
Germany would be very popular in wide
circles in both countries.
Latest Concerning the Cotton
Worm.—Prof. C. V. Riley, chief of the
United States Entomological Commis
sion, has returned to Washington from
an extended trip through the Southern
States, where he has been pursuing his
labors in connection with the investiga
tion into the cotton worm and other in
sects affecting the cotton plant. He
visited many plantations in the Carolinas,
South Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and
Louisiana, but spent most of the time in
the Brazos country, in South Texas,
where he found the best field for obser
vation and experiment Prof. Riley re
ports that important discoveries have
been made which will reduce the cost of
destroying the worm from one-half to
one-fourth of what it has hitherto been.
He experienced no serious difficulty in
his travels from quarantine except in
passing from Louisiana to Te^as. As to
the probable injury* this season to the
crop, he does not think that it will be
great or general, but nevertheless serious
in parts of South Georgia, Alabama and
Texas, on plantations where no efforts are
made to destroy the insect, especially if
this month should prove cloudy and
showery.
The Cental System.—The Boston
Produce Exchange has adopted a resolu
tion heartily favoring the adoption of
the “cental” system for all dealings in
grain and other articles of produce now
commonly sold by the bushel, and de
claring that in co-operation with other
commercial organizations the system
will go into effect as far as possible un
der existing State laws on October L
It seems that no law is to be permit*
ted to stand in the way of the consum
mation of the designs of the Radical
malignants against the South. The boats
on the Mississippi, engaged in the exodus
business, having violated the United
States law, by carrying a large excess of
passengers, suits were brought and judg
ments obtained against them for such vio
lation. Against the decision of the court’s
enforcing the plain letter of the law,
an appeal was made to the Department
at Washington, and now it is announced
that the Secretary of the Treasury has
approved the opinion of the Solicitor of
the Treasury, and decided to remit all
fines and penalties incurred by the ves
sels of the Memphis and St. Louis Pack
et Company by carrying an excess of
passengers during the exodus of the col
ored people from the States of Mississip
pi and Louisiana, and has issued his war
rant to this effect.
Verity this is a “ nation ” in which the
people are not governed by laws of
their own making, but by the will of the
powers that be.
The Colored Exodus.—Hon. Charles
E. Hooker, member of pongress from
Mississippi, has been interviewed in re
gard to the colored exodus from that
State. He says many of the colored
people who left have been duped by cir
culars distributed among them. One of
these circulars had printed on the head,
Show to no white man,” and informed
the recipient that the government would
give each immigrant to Kansas sixty
acres of land, and that plenty of work
could be found on the railroads at $1 50
a day. Mr. Hooker thinks the colored
laborer is infinitely better off in the
South than anywhere else, and is of
opinion that the best thing they can do
is to accept the advice of Mr. Fred.
Douglass and remain where they are.

Atlanta, August 8.—The Senate to-day
discussed the thirteenth section of the bill
to lease the Macon and Brunswick Railroad.
Mr. Bower favored striking ont the section.

viso that the lessees be reimbursed for any
outlay on the road when the State receives
it back, provided it is then worth more than
when leased. He said It was an indirect
way of granting State aid. Mr. McDaniel
offered an amendment looking to a continu
ation of the road by the lessees from Macon
to Covington, whence it will come to At
lanta over the Georgia Railroad. Agreed

THE BANKERS’ CONVENTION.
Saratoga, August 8.—The Bankers’ Con
vention reassembled at 11 o’clock this
morning. The attendance was large, though
smaller than yesterday. A report from the
Executive Council was adopted fixing the
amount of dues to be paid by banks to the
association. A paper was then read by L.
Halsey Williams, of Pittsburg, entitled
“ The Pennsylvania State tax relief a reflec
tion on Congressmen.” The paper called
forth protests from different members of
the convention, and a discussion ensued
with regard to the best method of bringing
the subject of unjust taxation of banks ‘ ~
the attention of Congress.
Speeches were made by Mr. Fleming, of
Allegheny, Pa., Mr. Nelson, of Selma, Ala.,
Hon. Logan H. Roots, of Arkansas, an<
others. A resolution was adopted instruct
ing the Executive Council to prepare and
circulate among the people extracts from
the paper from Comptroller Knox, showing:
the small profits and onerous taxation o!
banks. A paper was then read by H. L.
Lamb, Superintendent of New York Banks,
entitled ‘‘Savings Banks and their Dangers,”
and followed by an interesting paper
from Hon. Daniel Needham, Bank Exami
ner of Massachusetts, on the interest of
labor and laborers in the prosperity and
success of the national banking system.
Resolutions were also passed providing for
the printing and distribution among banks
of copies of the proceedings of the conven
tion, and thanking those members who had
read papers or made addresses. The con
vention then adjourned tine die.
FURTHER FROM SOUTH AFRICA.
London, August 8.—Some of the corres
pondents in South Africa think it possible
that Cetywayo may defeat the native force
sent in pursuit of him, and that in such
case the prestige gained at Ulundi would be
lost. They think General Wolseley under
rates the enemy as muck as .Lord Chelms
ford overrated him; and although a military
council is soon to meet at Maritzburg, that
he will continue to carry out his own plans
for the reduction of the British South Afri
can army.
Besides the marines, six infantry and two
cavalry regiments and the naval brigade are
to be sent home.
Some accounts say the Zulu chief, Seco
coenI,in the north is not expected to submit
without fighting. A column of five thou
sand men is preparing to march against him
if he continues obstinate.
THE MONTREAL BANK TROUBLES—EXCITE
MENT INCREASING.
Montreal, August 8.—The excitement
over the bank troubles Is increasing as the
people come to hear of the suspension of
the Yille Marie Bank. The directors assert
that the bank is able to pay all its liabilities
within a reasonable? time, and still have a
considerable amount of capital for the share
holders.
The capital stock of the bank is $1,000,-
000, nearly all paid up. It has $300,000 of
bills in circulation and $700,000 on deposit.
The run upon the City and Ddistrict Savings
Bank increases, and as the depositors nearly
all belong to the working classes, it is the
most serious that has taken place. Deposits
aggregate $3,000,000.
FAILURE or COTTON BROKERS.
New York, August 8.—C. Hyllested
Co., cotton brokers, of No. 7 South William
street, sent a notice to the Cotton Exchange
to-day of their inability to meet their engage
ments. As the members of the firm were
“out of town,” it was impossible to obtain
the amount of their liabilities. Members of
the Cotton Exchange believe they could not
be above twenty thousand dollars, and that
Southern customers were the principal
creditors. The failure is said to be due to a
decline of about three cents per pound
since the failure of Williams, Bimie & Co.,
and to the fact that Messrs. Hyllested & Co.
were “long” on the market.

It is time to inquire, as fomites are
much talked of. at learned dissertations
on abstruse matters. What is an atom?
Since Aristotle,discussion has been |
on as to the finite or infinite dis'
ot matter, and yet the question
open. The atom, the ultimate article, the
manad of Leibnitz, has not been seen by
the most powerful lense; yet, according
to theory, it is a living mirror of the
universe. There can he no reasonable
rotation designed to grasp
the immaterial, the unseen, the myste
rious agents and forces hemming, us
about; although in any direction the
speculator hears the voice of the Om
nipotent saying: “Thus far.” What
may be reasonably objected to is the
use of terms signifying—nothing, and
this word fomite is one of them. Let
those who talk about fomites show them.
Get down on your knees, gentlemen, and
with glass eyes give us drawings of the
form, shape and complexion of this
spore, mote, molecule or ultimate atom.
Then may we begin to inquire of its
origin, its mode of reproducing and the
climate most congenial to it To start
with, we know matter is divisible; that
the one-hundredth part of a line of silver,
dissolved in nitric acid, will, with the
addition of a mite of common salt, tinge
with milkiness five hundred cubic inches
of water. The particles of silver thus
divided must be less than a billionth of
a cubic line. Thus, to give an idea of
the divisibility, it would take Ihirty-one
thousand years, day and night, to count
the particles of silver so divided.
What may be objected to on account
of its influence on unthinking people is
this: Out of this fomite which casts no
shadow, and has no more substance than
the fabric of a vision, the whole world
by mutual consent has put on a mad-cap
and gone crazy. We are told the germs
or spores of fomites travel; they may be
carried about in leather or prunella; in
groceries, hardware and dry goods. In
consequence, we have unreasonable
quarantines—State and National; learned
commissioners to visit and sit on the
subject. Country people stand at arms
on the highways, and all this to keep
away fomites, which have no existence.
Though the theory of fomites may have
some material and tangible fact to rest
on, it is throwing the moral world off its
hinges. We are getting to be no better
off than when the quaranta-
—was first established in Italy. This, be
it said, was long after the destruction of
the baths of Titus and Caracalln, the
great Homan sanitarians.
Are we common people, who are con
tent to sport on the margin of science,
to stand still and say nothing against the
empiricism of the age? Are we to be
lieve as told by yellow posters pasted on
telegraph poles? Are we to believe that
the old coat of our friend is full of
spores—a thing to be handled with tongs
or punched out of Bight with a poker?
When he knocks at our door shall we
exclaim, “Who’s there?” and fumigate
him over a cauldron of carbolic before
allowing him to come in? Perish the
thought! Are we every season to be
frightened ont of our wits byfomites, to
hold confabs with ourselves as did
Gobo with his dog, and. after all, take
the devil's advice and run away?
Are we to Bhun the few dear
friends we have, and relatives besides, on
account of manads and undefined
spores ? ’Twere better to be “a toad and
live upon the venom of a dungeon.’
This is outside barbarianism. We had
better return to the East for some of
their customs and philosophy. Shall we
no longer receive the warm grasp of our
friend ? but os he approaches exclaim,
“Stand back, shake your own hand, a la
Japanese.”
In the national quarantine system the
big-wigs had no idea they were striking,
in the dark, the monetaiy system of the
republic. Is not paper made of rags?
Are not rags paper ? Shall we refuse
money because it comes of rags ? cast
odium on the legal tender of the best
government! Perish the thought!
The leading Hepublican paper of
Iowa, the Lemars Sentinel, which ex
presses in every way Hepublican sente
ment in that State, says;
‘What we need is encouragement,
not curses; protection, not violence.’
“We clip the above from the New Or
leans Weekly I/juisianian, edited, owned
and printed by niggers, who sent us a
copy asking an exchange with.the Senti.
nel. We will grant the gentlemanly
darkies the boon they crave, that they
may study African ethnology from a
Stalwart standpoint. ’What we need is
encouragement, not curses; protection,
not violence.’ That is nigger all over.
Why, you great wooly-headed boobies,
what you need is to learn to ‘curse’ and
practice ‘violence,’ and all these other
things will be added to you. If you have
not sand enough to stand up and curse
these lantern-jawed Brigadiers and their
white-livered retainers, then the Repub
lican party made a great mistake in
giving you your freedom. If these un-
hung traitors dare molest you when you
go to vote, shoot them as you would so
many dogs. If you have not the courage
to do sc, get on the auction block and
let them sell you to the highest bidder.
“A six shooter is what you need, Sir.
Nig.”
That language is perfectly consistent
with the practice of the Hepublican party
in the South since the war. When they
thought it necessary tor the party’s good
to work up campaign matter, there was
no hesitation in shooting thirty or forty
negroes as a basis for a negro massacre-by-
Soulhumwhiles story.
Gen. John' Meredith Read, of Phila
delphia, late Minister to Greece, and who
has been serving an ungrateful and un
appreciative country without pay for two
years, lias been recalled. What is the
motive for this insulting disregard of
gratuitous services by Mr. Bvarts does
not appear in the record, but it is to be
hoped that it will qot involve us in a
war with Greece, At the court balls of
the Queen of the Hellenes it has been
the custom of Gen, Head to lead out her
Majesty’s self, and, if Gen. Read’s own
dispatches are to be relied on, the gayety
of these festive occasions will be sully
eclipsed by his withdrawal. Why indeed
recall him? He cost nothing, he was too
far away to be laughed at, and he amused
himself and the Court of Greece as well.
Under such exceptional circumstances it
seems as if Mr. Evarts could afford to let
him stay.—Baltimore Sun.

‘The commerce of this-country de
pends upon its productions. Our pro
ductions of all thp great articles essen
tial to home life are more varied and
abundant than those of any nation. Yoq
have to deal with 1,400,800,000 bushels
of corn. 400.000.000 bushels of wheat,
4,000,000 bales of cotton, an infinite va
riety of the production and fruit of the
soil, and are constantly increasing- the
variety of all kinds of manufactured
goods. "—Secretary Sherman.
The foreign commerce of the country,
remarks the Courier-Journal, is based
almost entirely upon the sale of the
agricultural products referred to, which
are not protected. The manufactured
products, which are heavily protected,
figure in a very pitiful manner in the
exports. Hr. Shennap made no attempt
to show how abundant foreign markets
can be found for American manufactur
ed goods under our protective tariff sys
tem.’ That is a problem which ■the-'New

Diamond Bobbery by a Woman.—A
sensation was created at Laconia, N. II.
recently, at one of the summer board
ing houses, by the announcement that
Mrs. Augusta Gilbert, of Hew Haven,
Conn., had lost a set of diamond ear
rings, valued at $500 or $600. Suspicion
was directed to another lady boarder,
from Providence, R L, who was imme
diately arrested by Sheriff Cogswell.
With a search warrant, three ladies se
lected were deputed to thoroughly exam
ine the clothing on and about the pris
oner. She made such a resistance as to
render this impossible, whereupon the
Sheriff called in two physicians, who
succeeded in bringing to light the lost
treasures. The prisoner was held for
examination.
A disnatch from Gen. Miles, in camp
on Rock creek, Dakota, July 23, states

and informed him that Sitting Bulls
camp, of from 5,000 to 8,000 persons,
had moved to Swan Lake, In Canada,
about 80 miles from the line, where they
had determined to remain. The chief
brought assurances that the JndianS
