No. 141.
FROM ALL POINTS.
The recent storms have almost
totally destroj-ed the grain and
other crops in the south of Ireland.
During the first seven months
of 1SS3 there arrived at all ports
in the count nearly 370,000
persons.
The Massachusetts prohibition
ists ar.e to hold a slate convention
in Boston, September 20th, and
say they intend to mnkc a vigor
cms campaign.
Eleven days after a girl babe
had been born to a painter's wife
in Hazleton, Pa., she resumed hei
household duties for a day and
addod a bo' to the family.
For thirty years there has been
no public gaming in Germuny.
Card-playing in private is almost
universal, tax being collected dur
ing the last year on 3,250,000 packs
of cards.
This country probably never
before had so many distinguished
Europeans as are now here for va
rious purposes, chiefly that of
witnessing the opening of the
Northern Pacific railroad.
Advices from Loango, AYest
Africa, dated August 15th, state
that Henry M. Stanley, after pene
trating far into the interior, had
returned to Stanley Pool. It is
believed that Stanle' intends to
travel over the country covered in
his former Journey along the cast
coast.

is such a thing, says the Solano
JRqiubltcan,as being tooclose,and
most editors will just keep on
squandering eighty cents a week,
even if they sec ruin spring them
in the face.
Contracts to the amount of 1,-
500,000 for the construction of
new lines have been awarded by
the board of trustees of the Postal
Telegraph Company. Mackay,
the president, will leave for Cali
fornia in a few days, but he will
see the work fairly under way be
fore he leaves New York.
Hicks Pasha with 5,000 troops
has started from Khartoum, along
the left bank of the White Nile,
on a campaign against the False
Prophet. The latter is reported to
be resolute and decisive. Fijrht
ing is expected by the end of the
month. The rebels have closed
the road from Berleeto Suakim.
The Austrian minister of foreign
affairs has sent a dispatch to all
representatives of Austria aboroad
informing them of the precise
status of the insurrectionary
movement in Croatia, and an
nouncing the determination of the
government to use extreme
measures to suppress the rebellious
movement forthwith.
Among the striking contrasts
exhibited in character, the most
frequent were the comparisons
between Stonewall Jackson and
Ewell. On one occasion, Lee re
ceived this devout dispatch from
one flank: "By the grace of God
we have beaten them on the
right;" and the next moment from
the other wing: "By d d hard
fighting we have whipped them
on the left." One lieutenant was
Jackson, and the other -was Ewell.
After all the talk of driving the
golden spike on the northern Pa
cific it was rather fatal to the ro
mance of the occasion to use an
ordinary iron spike and to drive it
home with an ordinary sledge
hammer. The unities were pre
served, however, in this way: The
same spike which was driven in
the first tie laid on the road was
used on the last and the man who
struck the first blow .struck the
hist, which riveted the long line of
rails across the continent.
The JVbrth German Gazette, in
an editorial, attacks the advice re
cently given France by the London
Times to relinquish her colonial
enterprises and concentrate her
forces at home, which means, ac
cording to the Gazette, Germany.
The Times article, it says, would
show greater political wisdom by
refraining from childish attacks
on the Gazette. If the Times re
tained its former acumen, it would
preceive that the recent article in
the Gazette, which was written to
maintain peace, helped to lessen
the tension between England and
Frai e, the effect of which was
eloqu-ntly shown in the release
by the French in Madagascar of
Shaw, the English missionary.
The plan of using the electric
light in lighthouses has been car
ried out in a new lighthouse at
South Head, on the English coast,
with the happiest results. The
light is of the first order, and a
revolving white light, showing a
flash of eight seconds in every
minute. The lamp is constructed
so that gas, electricity, or oil can
be used. On all sides testimony
is being borne to the remarkable
power of the electric light, its re
flection having been seen at a
distance of sixty miles.
The negotiations which have
been under consideration beUvcen
Prince Bismarck and M. Barattia-
no the Romanian Minister of
Foreign affairs, with a view of
forming an alliance with Germany,
have been concluded. M. Barat
tiano will shortly resume negotia
tions with Count Kalnoky, Aus-tro-Hungarian
minister of foreign
affairs. These conferences are ex
pected to result in Roumania
entering into relations with the
Austro-Hungariau and German
empires, similar to those of Italy
with those powers.
"What's that thing?" asked a
dairyman, as a chromo peddler held
up a picture in which all the hues
of the rainbow were displayed in
reckless profusion, without regard
to harmony or correctness. "A
cow," replied the smiling art con
noisseur, with a show of pride.
"A cow?" gasped the milk-handler,
"well, that's the first lime I ever
saw a green cow browsing on
salmon-colored grass. Here John!"
he ye-led to the hired man, "bring
me the gun!" But the chromo
fiend climbed the fence and made
a break for the woods.
A dispatch from Hongkong of
the 11th, slates that a Chiucso
mob at Canton burned the houses
of several opium merchants and
their wharves, causing great con
sternation amonjr foreign resi
dents, the most of whom sought
refuge aboard vessels in the 'river.
Violence wife offered to persons,
and a force of Chinese troops was
called out, which quickly . dis
persed the rioters. On receipt of
the news at Hongkong several
gunboats were immediately sent
to Canton to afford protection to
foreign merchants.
China either has already or is
about to intimate to the United
States government that her ser
vices as arbitrator between France
and China would be very favora
bly received in Peking. It is be
lieved that if France sends any
considerable re-enforcements to
Anam, China will at once officially
declare war and then demand that
England fulfill her duty as a neu
tral power by closing her coaling
stations to trench transports.
This v.ould involve the French
transports carn'ing coal enough
to take them through to Saigon,
or else the shipping of coal to tl
French Red sea station, Abok,
which, in any event, the Chinese
believe, would cause sufficient de
lay to enable the French forces at
Hanoi to be overwhelmed.
A Star cablegram from Madrid
of September 9th says: Spanish
officials state that a very import
ant discovery has been made in
connection with the recent emcute
in Cuba, having for its object the
freedom of the island from Span
ish control. It is stated that a
number of well-known and influ
ential citizens have been tor some
time secretly purchasing arms and
ammunition4 in Paris and shipping
them to Cuba, in such manner as
to escape the attention of the
Spanish officials there. These
warlike supplies have been quietly
couveyeel into the interior and
placed in the hands of a band of
adventurers, whose force has been
o-reatlr an mm antral hv the enlist
ment of natives, and quite an army
of welbequipped men are now
ready" to proclaim themselves in
open rebellion against Spanish
rule. It is also stated that sub
stantial aid has been given this or
ganization by wealthy Cuban resi
dents of New York and New Or
leans and that the plot has gained
such a footing that large re-enforcements
of Spanish troops will
be necessary to suppress the re
volt. The London Times editorially
says: France is steadily drifting
into war -with China. The latter
is vulnerable only in those ports
which occupy a quasi international
position and any blow struck there
will be felt throughout Europe.
A shock to the English trade in
the East Tndias will be most dis
astrous. The relations between
England and France will be seri
ously embittered thereby. The dis
location of the cotton trade would
put out of employment thousands
of operatives in the Lancashire
factories and the revenue to the
British crown from India would
show a serious deficit. The Times
points out that in the event of war,
the Americans, Germans, Japa
nese and even the Chinese them
selves would secure more of the
foreign and coasting trade in the
east than the French.
A dispatch from Gold Spiko
station, says that on the arrival of
the Villard party at the scene of the
celebration there was witnessed a
most extraordinary spectacle;
three hundred men with brawny
arms quickly laid the iron and
drove the spikes on the last rail of
the completed track, except the
last spike. During the progress
of the work, which was witnessed
by the foreigners with amazement,
the band played and the people
shouted. "When nearly completed
a cannon salute was fired by the
detachment of the Fifth Infantry
present. The last spike was fin
ally driven home by H. C. Davis,
Assistant General Passenger Agent
of the road, who drove the first
spike on the opening of the road,
and this spike was the same one
driven by him first. The end was
reached as the sun was setting be
hind the mountains. The enthu
siasm of the people, variously esti
mated from three to five thousand,
was indescribable. The height
reverberated the mingled sounds
of cannon and the shouts of the
men.
