There are not enough Co aiding
newspapers in New York to encourage
a first-class case of blues, but such
newspapers as there are have just got
all the blues that their limited charac
ter will allow.
The coming winter in Yrashington
promises to be one of the liveliest, if
not the most brilliant for many jTears.
House rent has gone up to the highest
figures and the best classes of houses
are in demand. It don't look like

Stand by your friends says a co
tempoary, let come what may, is a
good motto. If you don't stand by
them you need n't expect them to stand
by you. So whether they be friends
of high or low degree, in affluence or
poverty, stick to them and don't stop
to enquire whether it will ray or
whether it will be popular. "When
ever you prove traitor and desert those
who have stood up for and helped
your battle, you will find yourself
without any one to congratulate j'ou
upon your achievement or comfort you
in an evil hour when misfortunes come
thick and fast.
The portraits of some of the most
famous Americans are to be put upon
the new stamps for lager beer kegs.
The stamps for the eighth of a barrel
is blue with the vignette of Washing

barrel, brown with a vignette of
Thomas Corwin; one-fourth barrel,
green with vignette of Thomas H.
Benton; one-third barrel, purple with
a vignette of General George H.
Thomas; one-half barrel, buff with
vignette of Jefferson; barrel, pink,

De Sousa Cabral, of South Ameri-
ca, is beyond doubt the richest man in
the world, if the half told of his pos
sessions are true. Recently lie him
self estimated the value of his property,
consisting of diamond mines, gold
mines, real estate, etc. , at fifty billions
of dollars. This would enable him to
pay our national debt, estimated at
two billion and a quarter, twenty times
over, and still liave a fortune equal to
the Rothchilds. He is owner of nine
of the richest diamond mines in South
America, from which he derives an I
annual income of twenty millions of
dollars. His interest in gold mines
yield as much more. His diamond
interests in South Africa and Siberia .
he estimated in Court at fifty millions.

The house has passed Bland's bill
for the recoinage of silver.

The Australian mail from Sydney
Sept. 2 1st. via Sart Francisco and New
York, arrived in London Nov. 2d,
making the distance in 42 days,
against a run in 5G daj-s by the Pen
insula and Oriental steamship line.
A Toronto dispatch of the 5th
says: "David Smith, the Castleton
abortionist, has been sentenced to be
hanged on the 19th of Dec. for the
murder of Miss Wade. The alleged
accomplices, Mallory and Wilton, are
held for the next assize."
The San Francisco relief commit

means for relieving the distress pre-

Several disasters to lake ship

Deen secUred for the building of a
railroad from the City of Mexico to
Curnavoca, 40 miles, through a rich
j region of country. Americans need
j not take much stock in the enterprise
anticipating quick return of profits.
Mexico is not the place for Yankees
yet awhile.
News from the City of Mexico
tells of a gang of Mexicans imlling
down the American flag at Eagle Pass,
and running up the Mexican flag.
Matamonis has "pronounced" against
Diaz. The Mexican congress is cut
ting down the tarilfs of Mexico and
Vera Cruz railway, and declares the
government is empowered to abrogate
concessions to and annul all contracts
with railways. A fine outlook surely
for Americans to invest in Mexico.
Constantinople dispatches of the
5th, report on the authority of Rus
sian prisoners that General Gourko
was wounded during a recent fight,
and has since died. Recent successes
has renewed the war agitation in Bul

the infantry and cavalry detachments
have penetrated Yaledantz pass in pur

ish force numbering 3,000 or 4,000
men from the south of the Balkans
attacked the Russian force at Mahi-
mar south of Elena. After four hours
fighting the Turks retreated, leaving
100 dead and 400 wounded.
