There are altogether about 17,00® Arabs h» this country, and not ten per eent. of them have a settled home or any other means of support than peddling. It is said that the British Government has refused to allow the Pacific squadron to interfere in the Behring Sea difficulty. Canada, it says, must settle the difficulty herself. The evident intention of the home Government is to throw the coloDy on its own resources. The Manufactures' Jtveord believes that the whole country is “entering upon a great speculative period of advancing prices, when we will probably see the most active times ever known iu the financial and speculative history of the country. The South will take a very prominent part in these matters.” The latest European estimate of the wheat crop from Vienna is that the world’s supply is 180,000,000 bushels short, and that the European crop this year is 222,000,000 bushels below the average. If these figures are correct there ought almost certainly to be a mar ket for the whole of our great surplus. Canon Farrar's visit to this country a few years ago apparently impressed him pleasantly, since he has sent his sou here to complete his education. The youug man, who is said not to resemble the typical Englishman in appearance, will take a scientific course at Lehigh Univer sity, and will afterward take his degree of civil engineer at the Rensselaer Poly technic Institute of Troy, New York. Four Mandara natives are about to ap pear at the German Court as Ambassadors from their African Sultan, who are said to be marvels of intelligence, anti with a moral standard extraordinarily high. Though they will dress in their own cos tume, the etiquette of the German court cannot be foregone, and so the regular dress coat will be woru over the African costume. The people of the United States lose millions of dollars yearly by the destruc tion by fire of flimsily constructed build ings. Moreover they pay out hundreds of thousands of dollars in the support of fire departments. Fire and Water states also that the value of the fire apparatus and the building devoted exclusively to purposes of fire protection amounts to the large sum of $38,644,755. The editor of the Popular Science Monthly, in considering the idea of co operative management of all industries, remarks: “Society is becoming every d&y more closely knit in the bonds of a common sympathy; the self-respect of the average man is daily increasing and pub lic opinion is becoming at once more rational and more humane, What we have chiefly’ to contend with to-day is not the idleness or extravagance of a few, but a general lack of knowledge as to the best methods of social co-opera tion.” Mr. Edmund Yates writes to the New York Trilune that French sentiment is now nearly extinct iu Alsace. But in Lorraine everything is different; the people still detest the Germans in their heart and do everything in their power to disconcert them. “Metz is as French a city as Orleans or Rouen, in spite of the desperate efforts of the German authorities to convert its inhabitants. Everything is stagnant there, and there are whole streets of empty houses, for all the French who were able to leave have gone, and the only Germans who settle there are officials. The officers of the ■army cannot help themselves. At a dinner not long ago, Wilkie Col lins related instances proving how im possible it was to introduce into a novel descriptions of places and things wholly imaginary. In one of his works he de scribed a house which he had never seen and which was entirely the offspring of his imagination. A few days after the publication a man called upon him to protest upon the introduction of his house into his novel. Strange to say the pages of the novel contained a perfect descrip tion of the man's property. At another time he used as one of his characters a man who was so exact about his eating that he weighed every morsel that en tered his stomach. Mr. Collins had in reality never heard of such a man. He was greatlv suprised one week after the appearance of his book bv the visit of an v .' , . . , , lous in print by mentioning one of his pe culiarities. BLACKSHEAR, GA~ THURSDAY OCTOBER 24 1889.
