of the new revolutionary movement.
Had he not happened to be In the
van, some other head would have
been found to plan and some other
hand to point the way.
There can be no stronger evidence
of the correctness of these views than
the pressing manner in which the
leading English journals are again be-
ginning to urge the settlement of the
Alabama claims. If the articles from
the London Post and Times which
have just reached us do not exhibit a
degree of alarm that is Inconsistent
with anything but sense of extreme
danger, we do not read them rightly.
The urgency of coming, at once to an
amicable settlement with. this country
is apparent in every line; and this
arises not from feeling of justice or
a consciousness of wrong-doing, but
from the fear of still further compli-
eating the dangers which threaten the
empire with dissolution. Whatever
may be the motive, so far as we are
concerned, we shall be glad to have
these claims disposed Of. IF England
has to pass through the ordeal of such
a CONFUSION as we anticipate, it will
be betterfor its G oNernmentto insure
our forbearance than our resentment.

4 Russian Review

We ind IN an English paper the
following description of review at
St, Petersburg, on the occasion of the
recent visit of the Prince of Wales:
At one stroke arms were presented
all down the long line of horse and
foot, the bands struck up, and at the
further end of the Place, at hand
gallop, appeared the Emperor of all
the Russias. In accordance with his
exclusive relation to the warriors pre-
sent, he rode alone-he, the Com
mander-in-chief, at whose bidding
seyery one in the square was obliged
to court wounds and DEATH Behind
him were the four Crown Princes of
England, Pussia and Denmark: next
to them Prince Alexander of Hesse,
the brother-in-law of the Empress,
the Princes of Oldenburg, Altenburg
and, Weimef, whom the events of the
week had brought thither; in the
rear a brilliant suite of general and
staff officers. .0ae

IRENE left of His Majesty, and defled
before him accompanies The fronts

close order, and moving with the solid,
mechanical tread which is the delight
of the professional eye. The sameness
of color was now the drawback to the
appearance. If not a thing Of beauty,
they were a thing of power. As each
battalion passed, the soldiers Jcheered,
the officers saluted, and the standard
bearers lowered the precious burden
entrusted to their care. His Majesty,
and with him the prince and his suite
| (among whom were Lord Frederick
Paulet, Lord Hamilton, and the other
military attendants of His Royal
Righness the Prince of Wales), ac-
knowledged the salute in the ordinary
manner. The cavalry and artillery
went past at a trot, the magnificent
horses attracting the greater attention
from the plainness of the riders attire.
At length came the squadrons not
Frnufled up in cloaks. The Cossacks
appeared on their little horses with
braided tails, their faces half hidden
In fur caps, theyarious detachmments

proach of artillery, which presently
appeared in considerable strength,
each team being of the same color.

The Revolutionary Crisis in England.

In a late number of Blackaooods

which England has been brought by
various causes. The masses are re-

the country are in so critical posi-

and Its navy is pronounced worthless
The picture is as gloomy as it can be,
but it cannot be pronounced over

b. About thirty years ago, Abraham

editorial control of a violent party
paper, where no one ever labored with
advantage to the party, simply because
an infinite quantity of pistols and a
multiplicity of Bowie knives pre-,

A REMEDY FOR BILGHT OF APpIE TREES
MANY apple trees are being affected with
blight the ends Of the young limbs and
tender dying in midsummer, and which.
unless arrested, will gradually spread until
the trees are destroyed. Many persons
have tried cutting of the dead branches
each year, but only to find the difficulty
increased the next. showing plainly that
the disease is not local TO the limbs but
general in the body of the tree. A farmer
who has given much attention to this sub
ject, has discovered that the trouble has its
origin in the sap or juice of the tree per-
haps growing out of the peculiarities of the
soil on which 1t Is grown, and has devised
remedy which he has used with marked
success and certainly for several years. The
remedy is this: carefully bore a hole (ac-
cording to the size of the tree halfthrough
the body of the tree and fill it with sui
phur, then carefully close the orifce with
a pine plug from a fourth to half an inch
in length, taking care not to bruise the sur
rounding bark always operating upon the
north side to prevent its being affected by
the SUM, and in year or two the wound
will be entirely healed over and the trees
restored to perfect health aud vigor.
