We congratulate the people of Conway county on the accession to their county of the citizenship of our friend Arthur, and commend him to them as gallant gentleman, true democrat, and clever fellow His declination, leaves us with but one of our cracy of the county to select some suitable per son to take his place.

 The P@trie thus discourses on the subject of the seizure and occupation of Perrin by the English:
 "Will Europe allow these works to be made? Will she permit the detestable maxim, What is worth taking is worth keeping to be pre- dominant in the law of nations? That is the true and only question; and France, for more reasons than one, cannot hesitate to ask it. On the one hand, if France, without calculating the sacrifices which such an enterprise imposed upon her, co-operated in assuring the independ. encc and integrity of the Ottoman empire it was not we suppose, that England-in spite of the treaty of Paris, to which she is party should take possession of any, even the mnutest fraction of Turkish territory, and make it standing point from which 10 threaten the com merce of the world with her cannon And. in another point of view, as the piercing of the lsthmus of Suez will open adirect communca- ton between the Mediterranean and the Indian seas, can France, which is so deeply interested in the work, allow her flag to submit to the English protectorate in the fortified Isle of Pe- rim? Our dignity is in question; the dignity of other nations cannot be less susceptible. It is time for Europe to show England that she must

The last phase of rascality in order to swindle merchants was lately exhibited in New York. A bogus coffee company sent circulars to all the business houses in the west, stating that they could furnish good article of coffee as per sample sent, at certain price that would leave large margin for profit. They required the advance of certain sum to pay necessary ex- penses on the lot to be sent, which, of course, never came. When the concern was broken up by the police, they found it in the daily re. ceipt of from fifty to seventy-fve letters, the most of them containing money or drafts.
 Another and more plausible method of swind- Ing Is to send circular, something like this:

The Crops In the Minnesota Valley.

A hasty trip up the Minnesota River the
other day, afforded an opportunity Of OBJ.
tanning reliable information as to the char
acter and extent of the crops in this fertile
valley. The amount Of land cultivated this
year exceeds, we are assured, by more than
one half the area heretofore under cultiya-
ton in the river counties. The panic, very
fortunately, has driven hundreds of specula-
tors and town site jobbers to more labori
Gus, yet more useful and profitable occupa-
tious. This is evidenced, to u very great
degree, in the large amount of land now
under cultivation, not only in the Minnesota
valley, but throughout the State.
In regard TO the crops in the valley,
Wheat and Oats have been much injured by
the recent unusual rains. OF both these
staples the amount raised will not exceed
half crop in the counties Of Slbley, Scott,
Carver, Nicollet, lie Seuer and Brown.
Corn is looking unusually we'll and is much
farther advanced in the counties We have
named, than il is in many of the States
south Of US. A large amount has been
planted and the excess over consumption
will be heavy. In some places we noticed
magnificent fields Of corn adjoining the
soping bluffs Of the Minnesota, from their
base to the summit. This sight, we take it,
would astound both Suckers and lIoosiers.
Our observations may be summed up, in
the statement that of Wheat and Oats there
will be but small yield, yet il will exceed
largely the amount ever before raised in the
same counties Of Corn the yield viii be
very large and Of Potatoes and other root
crops, the amount will not vary from other
years, except in the increased amount pro-
duced by bringing wild land under cult
walton.

English Statistics OF the l'opuiasto" Of
Minnesota.

When an Indian diplomat, after having
gone or been taken from bis wilds TO Wash.
ington, and shown all the kingdoms Of the
world and the glory thereof, from the dome
ofthe Capitol, the steeple Of Trinity Church,
and the top Of Bunker Hill Monument, re-
turns to his tribe, il is a characteristic Of
him which distinguishes him from oil other
travellers, that nothing can induce him To tell
the half of what he has seen, but that he
prudcntly adapts the amount OF truth he
communicates to his Indian brothers capa-
city Of belief. CArLiS. We believe, tells
story Of how popular Indian chief became
totally ruined in the estimation Of his tribe,
and passed current ever aherward as an
immeasurablc liar, by frankly stating II as
his opinion, founded on careful observation
from the top Of the City Hall, that there
were more ,epees in New York city alone
than In the whole tribe Of Mnndans. Eng
lish statistics Of American affairs seem 10 be
governed by the same principle Of delicate
adaptation TO the strength OF the English
mental constitution They tell only 40 much
Of the truth az m Englishman, from his
habits Of thought and the tenor ofhs expc-
ricncc, will be likely to believe. An in
stance OF this kind occurs in the great de-
bate, elsewhere noticed in the British
House Of Commons on the Hudson Bay
Company question, Mr. j. u. FirzoEHALp
said that
as regarded the colonizIng powers Of the
company, he reminded the House that Chief
Justice Draper had stated on evidence before
the committee, that for q period Of forty years
from 1872 to ls62--tbe population Of the dis.
