THE LATEST NEWS.
Severe shocks of earthquake
occurred throughout Costa Rica
May 29th and 30th. In San Jose
the cathedral was partially des
troyed. Slight shocks were felt
on the Isthmus of Panama.
At the solicitation of French
merchants in Cochin China, the
governor of the colony has obtain
ed from the home government au
tomation to allow the Paris mint
to coin a trade dollar for circula
tion in the far east. It will be ex
actly of the same weight and fine
ness as the American trade dollar.
The exportation of Argentine
wheat to Europe is assuming fab
ulous proportions. Twenty-five
years ago the principal exports
were hides. A few years after
wards wool, and now the exjDorta
tiGn of wheat has taken the
lead. This is proof that the coun
try is progressing and growing
richer day by day.
Great Britain is evidently
meditating the somewhat extensive
project of partially civilizing
Africa. Since no other power ap
pears eager to make the attempt,
her experiment is worthy of tacit
encouragement. "Without doubt
many portions of central and south
ern Africa are as capable of sup
porting civilized populations as
South America is.
fT-jjjhe Herald?s,MLondonLsp,ecial,
says that the Rev. Mr. Talmage
preached at Islington Presbyterian
church to an enormous concrrejra-
tion on Sunday. Much curiosity
was evinced by the people to see
the famous American preacher.
Half a mile before the Presbyterian
church was reached, the carriage
of the reverend gentleman was
lifted from the ground and carried
bodily to the church. It was one
of the most tremendous ovations
ever paid to an American Minister
in London, and beats Beecher in
Canada, or even Grant, m
Oriental ovations.
On Saturday last, in Salt Lake
city, Emeline Young Mcintosh,
daughter of Brigham Young, filod
a complaint against the executors
of the estate of her father, alleging
that they have swindled the heirs
out of about 81,200,000 by under
valuing the property and appro
priating it to their owh use. An
injunction has been granted, and
receivers have been appointed,
pending the suit. George Rey
nolds, the convicted polygamist, is
now in the hands of the United
States Marshal, en route to Lin
coln, Neb., to serve his term in the
penitentiary.
It is now fully timethat, tis
the best thing that the Canadian
parliament can do, for the credit
and harmony of the Domwron,
to pass a complete resolution de
claring that tho agreement with
British Columbia for the construc
tion of Canadian Pacific railroad
was entered iuto foolishly, and,
that, in justice to itself, the " Con
federation must beg that all
parties shall be. released from
tiie obligations connected with it.
The continent does not offer a
good transcontinental route for a
railroad north of latitude 49, and
even if it did, tho Northern Pa-
Icificnas sucn advantages that it
would surely tap and drain away
much of the business of its snow
bound rivals.
The Mauzanita launched.
W. E. Woodhall & Co. launched,
on May 27th, at Baltimore, Md., the
United States steamer Manzanita in
tended for light-house services on tho
coast of Oregon. She is schooner-rigged,
152 feet long, with 26 feet
breadth of beam and 11 feet depth of
hold, 542 tons, with screw propeller,
and 13 built of white o.ik, cedar and
pine. The propelling power will be a
pair of direct acting compound en
gines, cylinders 34 inches in diame
ter, stroke of piston 3G inches. It is
expected to have her ready for service
by the first of August.
