New Yoiut, July 5. A London letter
of June 22d says that as the time
draws on for the departure of the
Prince of Wales for India, the diffi
culties of the journeyaro move clear
ly appreciated. It lias not yet boon
settled whether the Prince is to su
persede tile Viceroy, otto accompany
him as a guest. The. old Indians are
very muon divided on the question
some asserting that it will have a bad
effect on the mind of the natives if
the Queen’s son plays second fiddle
to the Queen’s deputy; while others
argue that it is of more importance
that the Viceroy’s dignity should be
maintained at the highest point, us,
after all, he is the permanent repre
sentative of Great Britain in India.
The Prince’s costume is another pro
blem. A prince iri a calico shooting
jacket would, it is thought, not be
sufficiently impressive, and though
tile red coat and cocked hat of an
English hold marshal is no doubt im
posing enough, it. is very fatiguing
to the wearer in a hot country, it
was at one time contemplated that
| the Princess would accompany her
| husband, but this idea has been aban
doned, partly on account, of the diffi
culties in regard to etiquette, and
partly on economical grounds. The
Government, is still scheming how to
get money for the expenses of the
trip out of India. For some months
past the Prince has been suffering
from sciatica, and it is to be hoped
that the eastern climate will do him
good.

The llMurUity at the Inttaliaii Try.
There is no part of the commercial
j world where there is not at, the pres
: ent time more or less complaint of
dull times. These dull tine-s are ac
counted forin various ways, but the
main cause of them, in bur opinion,
is the close Interdependence among
commercial nations. If dull times
taught no other lesson than the unity
of the modern commercial world
they would not be without considera
ble compensations.
There is another way of accounting
for hard times, which was accepted
as the true theory by the majority
i in both houses Of the last Congress,
j These gentlemen would persuade us
| that the whole trouble comes from
scarcity of money. We beg to refer
i these gentlemen to the financial con
dition of England, France, and the
United States at this very lime, as a
| practical demonstration that scarcity
I of money has nothing to do with the
J universal dullness of trade. Wo
point to the remarkable fact that in
| each of the countries named unem
ployed money is extraordinarily
abundant. — N. Y. Tribune.
The most notable of the celebra
tions were at Philadelphia and at At
lanta, (In., of which we give full ac
counts elsewhere. The one at Phila
delphia, perhaps the largest and
j most enthusiastic demonstration ever
j known in that city, may he consid
ered as in some sort a torerunner of
the great Centennial celebration in
j 1870, to which it, wits in fact tributa-
I ry. That at Atlanta was, besides be-
I ing a very imposing demonstration,
a very significant one, from tho fact
that ft furnished (he best assurance
! of a perfect reconciliation and re.-do
| ration of friendly feeling between the
Two lately hostile sections. The ad
} dress of the Hon, Alexander H. Ste
! pherts was in an excellent spirit and
I full of loyalty and devotion to the
Union. Its effect on the people of
i both sections cannot lie other than
beneficial. It is gratifying to think
that out of all tho noise, the powder,
! and smoke, and tire, the killing and
I maiming of so many, and so much
i useless destruction and waste, wo
j can count something really gained in
I the way of reconciliation and peace.
This is the best sign the day has given
\ us. N. Y. Tribune.

A THEY HUNT INDIA}) ATTEMPT'S TO AII
- A FARMER'S D(UU)H'BR.
Ono of l,ho main tributaries of tho
Little Arkansas river is called Pun
ning Turkey crock, at the mouth of
which is Jim Geary's rancho, an old
and somewhat notorious stopping
place in tho days when Government
provisions wore hauled from Fort
Parker to tho Indian Territory l>v
means of bull and mule teams.
Among the early settlers was a fami
ly from Ohio named Falconer, which
consisted of Robert Falconer, his wife
Sarah, mid an only daughter, Bessie,
at this time about Seventeen years
old. Tho young girl was engaged to
a young farmer, and had nothing hap
pened would have been married on
last Friday evening. Tho time for
tlio marriage arrived, so did the
bridegroom and invited guests, but,
strange, no bride appeared. Her pa
re ill s, supposing she was in her room,
wont to the door to warn her that the
time for tho performance of the cere
mony had arrived, when they found
tho room empty. Ii wus early even
ing and not yet dusk, so they walked
to the window to endeavor to discov
er tho truant. Their horror may bo
imagined when they saw, rapidly dis
appearing through the timber ou tho
ereek bank, a man carrying in ills
arms the form of n young girl, which,
from the dress, they immediately rec
ognized as that of their daughter. In
aii instant the alarm was given, and
tho whole party, well armed, started
in pursuit. Within u few .minutes
they were Within gun-shot of tho fu
gitive, but were unable to use their
weapons in eousoqiieueeof ltis shield
ing Ills body with tho loved form of
tho bride elect. Tho young lover was
almost, frantic, and iii his frenzy ap
peared to have gained the fleetness
of tho antelope ; overtaking tho al
most breathless abductor, lie seized
him, and after a brief struggle wrest
ed the girl from him, at tho same
time discovering that the abductor
was uCheyenne Indian who had been
around the neighborhood for a year
or two. At tho same time that tho
farmer regained his sweetheart,, the
savage, with an eel-like wriggle, es
caped from iiis hold and started ou a
keen run down the creek. The pur
suers, however, were too much for
him, and one of thoir number brought,
him to the ground by means of a well
aimed bullet from a needle-gun. It
was soon ascertained that the red
man was only wounded iu the thigh.
Ho was then taken prisoner and lodg
ed in a neighboring dug-out, from
which, by some means, no escaped
during tho night, carrying the needle
gun ball in Ids thigh, and has not
since been heard of, although a dili
gent search has been inode by the
friends of the young lady, whose, wed
ding lias been indefinitely postponed
in consequence of an attack of brain
fever, tho result of the fright she re
ceived. St. Joseph (Ala.) Herald, Ist.

whoso admission into the Union on
tho 4th of July, 1875, may be consid
ered a fixed fact, however impolitic
that admission maybe, now claims a
population of 140,000, from which a
. liberal discount may safely bo made.
Colorado will be the second Stale in
size in the Union, being eclipsed on
ly by Texas. The assessed valuation
lis $41,478,800. Her mining product,
in IS7I was Valued at $7,113,fi1u. The
assessed valuation of cattle in 1871
was $4,750,000 and Of sheep $525,000.

product exceeds 2,000,600 pounds, and
that, the value of farm and garden
products during the past five years
lias averaged $1,250,000 each year.
Theunnual lumber products is 90,000-
000 feotj valued at. $775,0ne. In 1871,
$05,000 in internal revenue taxes was
collected by Colorado, being a larger
sum than was collected in either Ne
vada, Oregon or Vermont. Col
orado has now fifty-six organ
ized towns, 100 small settlements and
about 220 post,offices, and claims for
Denver, the capital, a population of
22,000. There are 007 miles of railway
now in operation, and 150 more'will,
be added during the present; year.
There arc six daily and thirty-eight
weekly newspapers in tho Territory;
eleven national and twenty-live pri
vate bunks; 300 school districts and
275 schools in operation, with 11,500
pupils enrolled. It will bo seen from
these statistics, which we gather
from a Denver letter in the New Vink
Times, that Colorado possesses the
nucleus of a great State. It was riot
on aceouut ol' her natural resources,
however, that tho admission act was
passed ; but because “from the first
organization of Colorado Territory in
1802, every delegate to Congress, J
I every Legislature and every impor
tant official lias been Republican uu
til last year a Democrat was elected
to Congress,” a result of a bitter feud

In defiance of law, which requires

If any one wishes to grow fleshy,
a pint of milk taken before retiring
at night will cover tho scrawniest
bones. Although now-a-days we
I see u grato many fleshy females, yet
' there are many lean and lank ones
who sigh for the fashionable meas
ures of plumpness, and who would
be vastly improved in health and ap
pearence could their figure be roun
ded with good solid flesh. Nothing j
j is more coveted by thin women tliuii I
!a full figure, and nothing else will j
so rouse tho Ire and provoke the j
scandal of the “oUpper-builds’’ as
the consciousness of plumpness in a
i rival. In cases of fover and Summer
J complaint milk is now, given with
excellent results. The idea that milk
is “feverish” has exploded, and it is
now the physician’s great reliance
( in bringing through typhoid patients,
or those in too low a state to bo
nourished by solid food. It is a
great mistake t.o scrimp tho' milk
pitcher. Take more milk anil buy
less meat. Look to your milkmen,
have large-size, well-filled milk pitch
ers on the (able each meal, and you
will also have sound flesh and light
doctor’s bills.

Northern spinners feel the general
dullness of trade. Homo of them I
have closed thoir doors,, and many
are working short time. Tho South
ern mills continue steadily at work,
but have doe lured reduced dividends.
The Augurta factory and t hoGramto
villo mill, pav, for instance, only two
percent, for t lio mmrtoi'cnding July
Ist. Beyond tlie depression of busi
ness, of which mention inis been
made, the Northern mills are affect
ed more seriously than ever by south
ern competition. They are being
driven out of the market by the
Southern spinners of heavy goods,
and the tune is fast approaching
when they must close up or come
Houl h. Iu the meanwhile tho cost, of
machinery has fallen considerably,
the price of labor and materiel is low,
and, therefore, no more favorable
season for building new mills, In tho
South, could be had. This Is under
stood, wo are glad to see, by the gen
tlemen Who arb getting up the new
mill in Atlanta. They will bo ready
for work next fall, by which time
business will be brisk again, and they
will be in condition to float on tho
top of the t ide. There is millions in
it. —Churlentun Courier.
The Democratic Htnto Convemfon
of California “hits the nail squarely
on the head.” The first, resolution
makes a square attack upon the
present National Administration in
respect to its Southern policy, de
claring in effect that "ono portion of
tho Union is ground with taxation to
keep another portion of the Union iu
bankruptcy and servitude.” The
second resolution recounts nearly all
the nets of the Administration which
have been criticised and condemned
by party organs during the last four
years. The third resolution declares
for a strict construction of tho Con
stitution, in favor of a tariff for reve
nue only, and a currency convertible
into gold anil silver at the will of the
holder; against a wasteful system of
internal improvements, and in favor
of strict economy iu all the Htnto,!
county, and town governments. The I
fourth opposes any division of the
school fund. The fifth declares that
t ho right of the Government to regu- 1
late corporations, and the duty to do
so when they need it, is Democratic
doctrine, and also assorts the right
and duty of the Government to pre
serve the waters oftho State for pub
lic uses. Other resolutians condemn
subsidies, demand such amendments
to tho Burlingame Treaty with China
as shall reduce it to a mere commer
cial convention, l'avor a Constitu
tional Convention, urge I lie speedy
completion of the transcontinental
railroad on the thirty-second paral
lel, oppose a prohibitory law and
any legislation interfering with social
habits, and condemn land manopoly.
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee was there also,
in command of the Virginians. The
I Boston Jdvi'rtisi’i •, while the shouts
of tho intermingling hosts and guests
were ringing in its ears, was remind
ed to reproduce tho memorable words
of Mr, Lincoln, uttered in March,
1801 ;
“Wo aro not enemies, but friends.
We must not be enemies -though
possion may have strained, it must
not break our bonds of affection. The
mystic chords of memory, stretching
from every battlefield and patriot
grave to every living heart ami
hearthstone all over this broad land,
will yet swell the chorus of the Un
ion, ivlien again touched, as surely
they will be, by the better angels of
our nature!”
The latest story of Russian extrav
agance over an actress is told of
Mine. Judin, the bouff'o singer, who
is to be Imported to America next
fall. She lias closed a six weeks’ sea
son in St. Petersburg, and it is calcu
lated that the profits of it were suffi
cient, if invested, to insure her an
income of 1(1,000 francs a year tho rest
of her life. At her last performance
she received a suite of diamonds
worth 20,000 francs; a dart for the
head-dress In brilliants, with a sap
phire as large as a pigeon’s egg,
valued at 80,000 francs, and a dia
mond bmcalot worth 62,000 francs.
Every paper money system of the
world has been a failure. A cash
business cannot be done on a credit
basis, and giving a promise to pay a
debt does not pay it. There is noth
ing but failure and disaster in the
system, and the instruction of tho
country in this hard problem, which
they are working out by a toilsome
process, will not lie delayed by the
proclamations of demagogues and

FOKEIUV.
CONDITION Of CANADA.
London, July 9. -Tho Times, In an
article on Lord Dufferens’ speech,
gays Canada has been advancing rap
idly, but not so fust or with so free a
tread as the United States. If any
Canadians formerly felt a lurking
wish to join tho Republic they beonmo
loyal when ttiey saw the enormous
load of debt and taxes left by the civil
war. Canadians might, however,
have sought annexation ere this in
some fit of petulance, if the mother
country had left them any grievances;
but, on the whole, they scarcely felt
the restraint of imperial government.
Canadian loyalty has beon admirable
but wo may yet have to call for
larger proofs of patriotism, if wo in
tend to knit tho colonies into a firmer
union with the mother country, so as
to make them a source of strength
instead of weakness, in time of war.

Washington, July 9.— Tho follow

Treasury at the closo of business to

Official information roeelvodat tho
Treasury Department to-day, from
St. Louis, states that there is no evi
dence tending to prove that Mr. G.
W. Fishbaek has been In any way
connected with tho whiskey frauds.
The absurd story connecting Mr.
Fallback's name with tho operations
of the Whiskey Ring, has never
been credited except by certain
parties anxious to give circulation
to sensational stories, all of which
have been inspired by irresponsible
parties in Washington and St. Louis.
Tho name of Mr. A. H. Holt, present
Chief Clerk of tho Internal Revenue
liuroau, has also been unjustly con
nected with tho operations of the
Ring. Mr. Holt’s superior officers
have every confidence In his
honesty and integrity, and authorize
the statement that there is nothing
within their knowledge tending to
east the least suspicion upon Mr.
Holt in regard to Chief Clerk Avery.
Tho charges made against him have
not been substantiated by any docu
mentary evidence, so far as is known
to tho treasury officials, and
the character of tho individual,
who makes tho charges, as well
as those who give them extended cir
culation, is such as to preclude the
possibility of their making tho
ieust impression in respectable circles
in the übsouce of proper corrobative
tostimon y.
In justice to Mr. Avery, the Secre
tary of the Treasury has caused to be
instituted a thorough investigation of
his alleged connection with the Ring
frauds.
The Treasury Department furnishes
tho following entry of Canadian
goods in bond. Undor this head tho ,
New Y'ork Times of the Ist instant
announced a decision of Secretary
Bristow upon a question presented
by Sir Edward Thornton to Sec
retary Fish, and by him referred
to the Treasury Department, relating
to a supposed conflict between tho
regulations of that Department and
the treaty of Washington as to the
Canadian merchandise intended for
export and forwarded in transit over
tlie territory of the United States.
Inasmuch as tho subject is still un
der advisement at tho Treasury De
partment, the announcement that
Secretary Brewster hod made a reply
was not only premature, but the state
ment puriiorting to give tho nature
of such reply was wholly unwarrant
able and unauthorized.
