last Sunday. •

to hunt on his large estates in the neighbourhood.

explained the working of the governmental system of
that tribe. They had been, many years ago, placed uppn
reservations, and had kept their treaties with the Govern-

tion of the Indian question. Let all the tribes go upon
reservations, and keep their treaties, and there is no pro
babiliV of trouble.—New York Herald.

COUNT BEUST AND THE CISLEITHAN MINISTRY.—
The Spenersche Zeitung refers to Count Beust's recant
circular as a proof that he is in favour of the claims of the
Gallician Poles, and thinks his reappearance on the scene,
hand in hand with the Cisleithan Ministry, is a clear
proof that he retained the direction of affairs while the
citizen Ministry came and went, and it will be interesting
to note what forms the constitutional life of Austria
assumes, under the influence of the Imperial Chancellor.
THE FLYING SQUADRON.—The Flying Squadron
has arrived at Yokohama. The fleet consisted of the
Liverpool, Phoebe, Barossa, Endymion, Lippy, and

it was start for home, leaving the Barossa on the statiou
in place of the Pearl, which accompanies the Flying
Squadron to England.

long stagnant in the path of civilisation and progress, are
now making rapid strides. Coal mines are to be worked
in the Chinese province of Chihli and engines for raising
the coal and pumping out the water are in process of con-
struction at Tientsin arsenal. An Imperial mandate
has, moreover, ordered that measures shall be immecli,
ately adopted to deepen the Yellow River, and bring it
back to its bed.. The most astonishing part of this in-
telligence comes, however, from Yeddo, where the tele-
graph has gained so greatly in favour that from sixty
to seventy messages are sent on the daily average.
