the Queen should visit her Canadian subjects.
Now is the favorable time to carry out that
project; now, when for the first time she has
spoken by the mysterious agency which binds
two worlds as one, words Of friendship and
peace to the rqler of the master nation of this
continent. Let her come by all means and
visit her republican cousins, too ; she would
get sueh a reception in New York, Just now,
as never greeted monarch in the world before.
We will show her all our institntions-the

coined to the City Hall with aldefmaaie hon

her person her transatlantic cousins ere. In

The JAss-HERRAN TRgATY.-The New

Secretary Cass on Tuesday morning. at the
State Department. and communicated to him
the Cass-Herran treaty, as modified by the
Congress Of that country. There is only one
alteration therein, and not three, as hereto
fore stated, and that refers to the naval corps
depot. But the treaty is accompanied by
two propositions in the nature of explana-

Camp Meeting

Commenced on Monday, according to an
n%ouncement, and the weather so far has been
very favorable. The attendance continues
to grow larger from day to day, and we
believe nothing has occurred to disturb the
quiet and good order which the occasion de-
mands. Our usually quiet village assumes
the appearance Of a bustling city, from the
incessant rush of vehicles, the large number
of strangers sauntering in the streets, and the
crowds in and about our Hotels, &c. To.
morrow is looked upon as the "big day"
and, Judging from the number here now, the
assemblage will be immense.
Unavoidable circumstances prevents us from
giving a more extended notice of the Meeting.
The sickness of one of our hands for the last
two weeks, necessarily delays our publication.

The Atlantic Telegraph.

1t is now certain that this gigantic project
has succeeded, and that communication is &C
cessible. 1t may we'll be regarded as one of
the greatest achievements that has ever been
accomplished in the world. Its benefits to re-
hottest posterity will be incalculable. British
emigrants can have communication with their
friends at home, almost as quick as thought,
and American residents in Great Britain, can
have the same inestimable privilege. Be-
tween the two g~aeatest commercial nations of
the earth a constant correspondence can be
kept up, pouring a food of light and intelli-
gence from both sides of the Atlantic, through
all their dominions-maintaining the most
amicable relations-preVenting, or adjusting
all Misunderstanding; and prohibiting that
scourge of national prosperity War-from
raging between rival powers. Who does not
rejoice in this great and beneficial result
Subjoined is the. Queens Message and the
Presidents Reply, which, of course, will be
read with interest.
THE QUEENS MESSAGE.
To THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,
WAsHINGroN:-
The Queen desires to congratulate the Pres
dent upon the successful completion of this
great international work, in which the Qneen
has taken the deepest interest.
The Qneen is convinced that the President
will join with her in f~ervently hoping that the
electric cable which now connects Great Brit
ain with the United States will prove an ad-
ditional link between the nations, whose friend
ship is founded upon their common interest
and reciprocal esteem.
The Queen has much pleasure in thus COM
municating with the President, and renewing
to him her wishes for the prosperity of the
United States.

WAsH1NGTON CIFY, august 10, 1898.
To Her MAJESTY VICToIA,
The Queen OF GREAT BRITAIN:
The President cordially reciprocates the
congratulations of her Majesty the Queen, on
the success of the great International enter
prise accomplished by the science, skill, and
~indomitable energy of the two countries.
It is a triumph more glorious, because far
more nseful to mankind than was ever won by
conqueror on the field of battle.
May the Atlantic Telegraph under the
blessing of Heaven, prove to be a bond OF
perpetual peace and friendship between the
kindred nations, and an instrument destined
by Divine Providence to difuse religion, civ
i~lizatien, liberty and law throughout the world.
In this view will not all nations of Christen.
dom spontaneously unite in the declaration
that it shall be forever neutral, and that its
communications shall be held sacred in pass
ing to their places of destination, even in thu
midst of hostilities?

A Striking Portrait.

The following description of President Bn-
chanan, in the columns of the Albany Erenimg
Journal, has all the antithesis of Mr.. Mac
auley's portraitures, while the truthfulness
rests upon much more accessible evidence:
" He entered the white house with a promise
of freedom to Kansas on his lips, and a scheme
for enslaving it in his pocket. He declared
war against circulating notes, and in six weeks
was issuing them himself. Before the ink
vas dry with which he pledged " economy
he had drained the treasury of the last dollar.
Before the printers were done sterotyping his
inaexible determination never to borrow, he
was in Wall street soliciting a loan! He con-
graduated the country upon the final end of
slavery agitation, and has been agitating it
ever since. He ordered Paulding to stop the
fllibusters, and then recalled him from doing
80. Walker, of Nicaragua, he pronounced
an outlaw, and rendered him the Inequalities
of the White House. Walker, of Kansas, he
furnished with written Instructions, and turn
ed him out for obeying them.
He withheld the troops from Utah, where
he proclaimed there was war, in order to keep
them in Kansas, where he insisted all was
peace. He sells forts at the west for a
titHes.of their costs, in order to buy sites at the
east at ten times their value--his subordinates
in 10th cases pocketing the difference. He is
eeas&inually asking for new steam frigates; but
4 will not use those he had either on the
is of Africa or the Gulf of Mexico. He
5 cut a steamer, ostensibly to catch the
but with private orders in the captains
uesF to DO nothing Of the sort. Claiming to
be the most frugal of all Presidents he has
spent more than any Of his predecessors.
Assuming to be above party prejudices, he
makes partisanship the basis Of his Invitations
to dinner.u

give any further description, as it has proved to be
one Of the best Reaping & Moving Machines in the
country; and has never been beat on a fair trial,

Either of the above named machines is capable of
cutting from ten to fifteen acres of grass or grain
per day. All those that are DESTROYS Of purchasing
a Reaper s. Mower, win do well to call and examine
before they purchase elsewhere, as they can have a
choice between the two machines. As the price
has been reduced, owing to the hard times and the
scarcity of money, in order to suit purchasers, he
feels confident that there are none that will have
any reason to find fault.

The New York Times publishes letters
from Salt Lake City, and frem the camp of
the army in Cedar Valley, giving one weeks
later news than received by previous advices.
The latest dates are to the 18th Of July, at
which time the city had resumed its wonted
aspect, nearly all the refugees having return
ed to their homes and the pursuits Of their
avocations. An investigation of the condition
of the Territorial Library had confirmed the
suspicion that the Mormon leaders satisfied
when they declared that the books remained
undisturbed. A large portion of the law
books formerly contained in the Library have
disappeared. The Mormons preserved the
semblence of peace at last advices, but their
hatred of the Gentle Eruption was manifest
ed in various unpleasant ways. The latest &C
counts from the army indicate that the forces
are in ..good condition, enjoying comfortable
quarters.
The star of the West arrived at New York
on Thursday, bringing the California mails,
and 81, 1921, 900 in gold. Her news was antic-
ipated by the arrival Of the St. Louis. The
news from Frazer River is not so favorable,
and the excitement was subsiding. The San
Francisco Herald of July 10Th says: T" it is
now nearly four months and a half since
the FIRST emigration took place for Frazer
River, during which time it is estimated that
no less than twenty FIVE thousand persons
have set out from California and Oregon fol
the much boosted mines, which are within five
or six days sail Of this port. it is, therefore
not a little significant that not over forty OF
fifty thousand dollars, at the outside, should
up to this date, have reached San Frau
cisco from a gold bearing region said to yielc
from 500 to 800 per day to the hand. IL
use the phrase now common in our street.
