In regard to the apprehended difficulties with

81 trust there is too much good sense anon q

low of collision with Mexico about tn e disputed
boundary But where was that genius in 1916? Ii
was asleep, or, per adventure gone on a long Jour
ney. am not sure that any good sense is to pre-
vent immediate collision on the frontier Mr.
Calhoun declared, after the event had occurred that
he saw that the movement of the troops to Corpus
Christi would lead to a with Mexico. But he
was silent about the matter at the time. In that
case Congress would not, on account of any exist
ing grievances, have declared war. We were sur
prised into war. Governor Trias will undertake
to expel the invading forces of the United States
from the Mesilla valley. General Garland is sent
there to repel invasion of our own soil If that
will not bring about collision, 1 do not know
what could do it,

SADAccoUsTs FROM THE GREEK IsLANDs.-Dates
from Zante, Ionian Islands, to the 7th of May, re-
port that the currant crop i5 expected to fail this
year also. Last year there were no symptoms Of
disease before the latter part of May; this year
at this early season, there evident proofs
Of its existence. A committee which had been
appointed by the Greek government to examine
into the condition Of the plantations accompanied
their report with bag of specimens of diseased
leaves and branches collected by them from the
plantations they had visited. These specimen.
gave the same bad odor which manifested itself
last year among diseased plantations.
The loss to those agricultural districts where
this plant s almost exclusively cultivated must be
very great. Owing TO the low prices which cur.
rants have brought OF late years, poverty had
already visited those once hourishng regions,
and now misery in its worst shape must Be the
inevitable lot both of the la nd-owner and la
borer. The disease will probably continue for
come years TO come, like the potato rot. In Zante
