A Spirit of ItmtlenMiCM on the Uonler—Mexican Views of Hie Demand for Cultlnur—Disarming A meric mi JSoldlora Who Here Chasing ftiiltniiH in Mexico—Arbitration the Alternative. City of Mexico, August 13.—Public sen timent here regardidg the Cutting case is still aroused, owing largely to the threats of war from the state of Texas, and there is general uneasiness lest international trouble may arise from an unauthorized in vasion of Mexican soil. Inan interview to day a European diplomat whose official position prevents the use of his name, said: “The United States and Mexico certainly should be able to settle the cases in dispute, even if they have to resort to friendly arbi tration. It is certain that the state of Chihuahua has ns good a right to her pecu liar code as has France, from which coun try Chihuahua took her example. It is not likely that the United State, in a sim ilar kind with France would make a per emptory demand for the release of her citizens. The United States view of this case will not be the view of European countries where a similar law to that of Chihuahua obtains. England does not recognize the divorce law ofeertain Amer ican states, but that is no reason for war. It would be a bad example of republican institutions if two nations like the United last evening by the receipt of a telegram ff'nchV('' nol vv ,e ff d . implement firm of Hoch & Co., from their agent in Mexico advising the firm not to ship any more goods to that country, as it was not judicious to do so.

'Boston, August 13. - A small yacht called the Frolic capsized in a squall in Boston harbor yesterday and it is to-day learned that there were live persons oil board, all of whom are supposed to have drowned. They were on a fishing excur sion to “The Groves." They were Win. I„ Hayden, owner of the boat', and two sons aged 11 and 13 respectively; J. W. Earning and Wm. P. Henderson. Hayden leaves a widow and three children. 'Laming was 24 years old. He was a photographer in Dorchester and was married and had one child. Henderson was eighteen years old He lived-in south Boston. It is said that all the parties were good swimmers, which makes the fact that none were saved all the more singular. It seems that no one was lost from the schooner Oregon, which also capsized in the harbor yesterday. Her crew consisted of a captain and two men, who were rescued after clinging to the rig ging for some time. lirlil If XiHM'ssury-—Tlu» Hopiibllrnh—Tin* lli'inorwl of immurt'i* .Ionian —(Irent lifl- Postttuo.

The Two Republics this morning pub lished an editorial on the Cutting ease. After showing the points of law on which the two governments differ irreconcilably, the stand taken by each government being supported bv precedents and laws actually in force in the different countries, it sug gests arbitration as the most satisfactory solution, and urges the Mexican govern ment to use its influence for the suspension of Cutting’s sentence meantime. Interviews with several prominent Mex icans and Americans show that the sug gestion is heartily indorsed here. The Mexicans even think that in case arbitra tion could be arranged the Chihuahua gov ernment would pardon Cutting immediate- l-'iliulty in Politics. Washington, August 13.—The atmos phere is full of rumors that a number of heads are soon to go off. There seems but little doubt that the resignation of Post master Conger, of this city, will soon be asked for. Conger is a son of Senator Con ger, of Michigan, and was appointed by President Arthur about three years ago. It has been supposed that Mr. Conger would be allowed to serve until his term of office expired, and no doubt would had he continued in the even tenor of bis ways and not become interested in political affairs. The reasons assigned for the president’s intention are based upon the conduct of Mr. Coni Jy, merely leaving the arbitrators to settle | whieh is regarded us an open violation ot the miestmn rtf inrisdir.Tit-in invrdvpd Mm# i fbeclXllSt the question of jurisdiction involved, thus j J] ,e civil service laws Mr. Conger s father, establishing a m-ecedent for future refer- ! the senator, is a candidate for re-election, and the legislature to be chosen at the coming election will choose his successor. establishing a precedent for future refer ence.

Yes- m ' ^ *"" ’ J ~" Washington, August 13.—It is asserted at the state department that there arc no fresh developements in the Cutting ease and that the attitude of this government 1ms not changed in any respect. “This case,” Secretary Bayard says, “is the fruit of natural friction or antagonism between the systems of government of the two peoples, who differ radically in character mid custom. The position wo have tnkon is based upon the assumption that all the material facts and legal features of the case are as they have been set forth in the correspondence and re ports already made public, ut in a matter involving possible warfare, it is held to be incumbent upon us to make sure that there is nothing of importance beyond the offi cial information already in lmnd, and to this end the best efforts of the department are turned. The foundation onco firmly laid, the decision will have to bo made whether the differences found to exist shall be recon ciled through further eii'orts of diplomacy or by war, out in uo event will this gov ernment assent to the doctrine that an American can be arrested, tried and pun ished abroad for an offense committed within our domain.” lug fiercely.

A (ii-upiiii' IK'si-fiption of't'liofr tt'm-k at lli-Mne • tion. Chicago, August 13.—The Daily News’ Fort Howard, Wis., special says: Re ports from the great fires in this region have not been at all exaggerated, anrl it requires but a glance to show that but little of the real misery and destruction they have caused has yet been brought to light. Fort Howard and Green Bay are onvoioped in a dense volume of smoke, and all around the outskirts of the town can be seen ‘Humes as they burst from the distant woods. Since the train left Milwaukee the effects of the late drouth have been more and more appaix id. The railroad seems as though it, had bee: . ! uilt by an unscrupulous board ol' county commission ers ami the contracts let, to as lnuny cul vert builders os possible. The road north of Appleton seems to consist of eul vei ls built without any cause, for there is not a sign of one of the creeks which t.hcv are designed to cross. Every thing is as dry as a cinder and the fences and grass along the tracks arc either burned or now arc burning, and the bushes are all on fire and burning fiercely. Here, too, the smoke became more dense and, bung in the atmosphere sullenly as though waiting an opportunity to settle down and envelope the country in Egyptian dark ness. Over the water in Green Bay it de scended like a dense fog in all but its color. Tlu smoke is light brown and the wind . altcrnat'-ly clears it away and allows it to gather aguiu. The sun shines through, it like a huge orange and casts a sickly shadow. A. scarcity ofwater makes every one ap prehensive of fira and the proximity of, the forests is a constant source of dread. One of the most peculiar effects of the tire is the action of the animals, which seem to be apprehensive of some great danger. Cattle and horses huddle together, forg- t- ting to feed, and stamp the ground restive ly. Even the birds seem frightened and fiy around in an aimless sort of way. Around Green Bay the damage lias been heavy, but. the greatest - loss has been suffered in the Oconto region, and Depere, a village half mile south of here, has fullered heavily. Last Monday night a conflagration broke out and consumed fifty-one buildings, in cluding a church and several stores. The fires, according to the latest reports, are rapidly dying out and unless a gale of wind should spring up will probably cause little more damage. The loss oflife is less than was anticipated, although doubtless greater than has been reported. Commu nication with the timber district# is slow, ! and an investigation will doubtless bring to light a great deal of suffering. «Eau Claire, Wis., August 13.— The latest reports from the Chippewa fire dis tricts were received from several woods- men who arrived from Deer Tail, an im portant feeder of Chippewa, last evening, j They have traveled considerably over the burnt and unburnt districts north of here and say no territory can escape the de struction of the flames in the present dry i condition. The Superior regions are well burnt over, but the fires have broken out' afresh in a number of localities on the up per Chippewa since Tuesday and are rag- ! the state. The chamber of commerce at n j regular meeting last evening, after dis- I cussing the subject, adopted the fallow- [ lng: I Resolved, That the chamber of com merce through its president and secretary request that the associated press make a statement to the effect that these vir tually sensational reports which have been ! published in the eastern and southern i press that this season has been disastrous ! to the agricultural and stock interests of Colorado are unqualifiedly false, and are calculated to work inestimable damage to our state. A RISE IN OLD BOTTLES. Tin'll* Viiin Atlanta- (■mitb Kiiiini V ('•ilori'il Mini' i'i’iI It) Pmlili.it[nil ill . Kusliinir ItiiHlni'ss. I Courier-Journal. I Atlanta, Gn., August 11.— One of the ; noiable elfects ot prohibition has been the i rise in value of old bottles. For the last ■ month the demand for bottles has been i v- 1 c.vdingly lively. One of the principal : purchasers of 'botth's is a colored man I named Henry Smith. He buys ail sorts of i bottle:; made t > hold liquors—wine, beer 1 a ul wliisky. For whisky bottles he gives 8. t-qw •••«•; forb.vr bottles 25 cents a : dozen, anu ten wine bottles 15 cents a dozen. He has a regular set of customers \i horn he visits weekly. However, he i ; kes a d,uiy round through certain por- ,, is ol' the i t.y, and lias “helps” to cover t.ie t( )ri ry through which ho does not i pass. TUes'if “helps” arc small negro boys, and they are allowed a commission on all the buying they do. The oottb -buyer will not state for whom ho buys the bottles. It is n secret of the | trade. This much he dots say: The bot- ; ties are taken to a place on Decatur stent, ! Where they are cleaned and assorted. The wine and beer bottles are shipped to -Ma con and the whisky bottles an sold to an * Atlanta wholesale liquor dealer. Henry , admits that lie never mala:; less than Jilt) clear, and that he puivh ^ ; ed. 7000 bottles Mo past month. Before probibiUon went into efiee! hi# earning.-; m ' v pc-i month. He says that ilnri ig the ffi'nt ten day# of .July he found bottle# everywhere lie went, and on the 7th and 3th of that month he was forced to hire a dray to carry : Iris stgclc to the ware-rooms. Henry laughingly say:- Unit bis principal customers are rich while folks, but the selling Was done through little children. ■Such customers were regular, and could always be counted on to have a full sup ply. ’ To the question if any leading prohi- bitionistssold empty bottles, the old man replied, with a knowing wink: “In do - business 1 know neither de prohibitionists nor de whisky men. De bottles from one is as good as de bottles from de udder.” Ci.'iigri'SKiinm t'i-i#|i lii'iiiini hinttsl.

BLACK EYES AND POLITICS. IHsic nicoftil Ohio Chicago, August 12.—From Lander, Wyoming territory, to-day comes a story wliich is of curious interest to the sporting community, it into the effect that John Gaylor, a well known hunter and trapper of the Wind mountains, has slain a white buffalo bull or one so gray that, it can very easily be called white. Jack secured lus frame about two weeks ago while on an elk hunt in tli rains. P.y t!u »m . «sst accident he stumbled upon a but deep basin, one of t he most hidden of haunts. In this he found the gray or white buffalo. When the hunter came to examine his prize he found that it bore all the marks of very old age. The horns were worn down to the skull and presented the appearance of bald, smooth spots on the head rather than the natural projections. The teeth were few and fragmentary, and were al most even with the jawbones. Though living in the richest and most succulent grasses and herbs the patriarch hour and gray was very poor in flesh. The appear ance of the basin indicated beyond doubt that the bull had in that one spot seen ^ many a summer’s sun and many a winter’s j Franklin, Madison mid’ Bickawav storm.

Peas have begun to ripen ami the leaves have begun to turn, and tin; nights art gutting cooler and get- ring longer, too, ana it all reminds one 1 thr.t autumn, beautiful golden autumn, with the melancholy rustlings of her 1 leaves, is at band. That is the time, the autumn I mean, when it is a little cooler and more pleasant, then is the time fora man “• pause and look buck upon his year’s work and see how much ol it has been naste-d and bow much of it has yielded the best results. History will re peat itself, in the affairs of individuals, ' equally as certain as iu the affair- of nations and empires. There is such a thing as “stingy fanning,” and the farmers who be.w fallen into that channel will make a history for themselves which will be very uninteresting for their children to read. The man who lias been stingy with his fertilizers, and stingy with his seed, and stingy with his labor, and stingy, too,with bis land, will find that his harvest is sure to be a stingy harvest. The rain limy come never so copiously and seasonably^ hut the history of the stin gy fanner is bound to repeat itself year af- ler year: and he is sure to look hungry and diseontentedj and it you speak to him he is sure to whine and soy “it is hard times.” It will always lie nurd times with some people, for if they had a good thing they would lie too stingy to enjoy it: they would just put. it away and let it spoil. [ had intended to write up the C'ataula camp meeting, bin; I bad to fall in line and go through with lot prevalent severe cold and didn’t go through with the camp meeting -didn’t go a single day nor hear a single sermon or a prayer. I have been confined to my bed since. Mr. Arp says a . man ought not to write for a paper when lie is sick nr melancholy, and 1 think per haps Mr. Arp is right. This was the fifteenth annual session of the < ataula camp meeting, and everything passed off quietly. Not withstanding the unusually large attendance on the Sabbath, not the slightest disorder occurred. Tlu- . road that got off the train Sunday morning at Fortsun surpassed anything that 1ms ever landed at our station. A few of their number were unable to get a eon- • ‘-vance and had to spend the day in the grove and woods around the depot. Mr. S. L.
