A cable telegram is sent over the wires
announcing the probable fact that the nego-
lations for q commercial conference between
France and Belgium have been suspended;
Wlereupon several American newspapers see
big war cloud, and at once turn their at
tcntion to speculate thereon, and enter into
long articles by way Of showing how imminent
Is the conflict ofarms across the water. This
may be so, but the simple fact that these nego-
tintions have been suspended does not satisfy
US that war may be determined upon on this
account. We confess to tho obvious fact
that there Is, and must be, cause for this
suspension but that II means war Il
by no means certain. Indeed We dc
not see how such conclusion Is reached o
upon what precise grounds war can be pre-
dieted. Conferences may break up, the,
may he suspended to be begun again, and al
Of this may be no cause OF war, and ma,
have no tendency to bring on conflict o
arms.
1t is not so easy as many suppose h
involve the wise rulers Of Europe In war
But 1t Is pOssible,to be sure, that thal restles
and ambitious imam OF destiny" who sit
on tho throne of France may procipltate
war, and thus effect his own ruin. In tn
inscrutiblo DEGREES Of Providence doubles

The confederation policy Of the English
Government through the New Dominion has
triumphCd once more In Nova Scotia, but its
lease of life is indeed short.
Mr.. Howe, the president of the prlyy
council, has been elected in Hants by ma
Jority only of three hundred, and this too
after receiving all the aid material and other
wise the government could give him.
Had this man been defeated, there would
have been an end TO the confederation, at
least In Nova Scotia.
Let the confederation party make the most
of their triumph for this time. 1t will be
broken ere long and pass away forever.
This province belongs to the United States,
and will come TO us In due time.

in o laudable effort TO impress the white
youths Of their section with the Importance
and dignity Of labor. Il IL the most cheering
sign of an advancing prosperity for that
section. Asa stlnnlant 70 this end the ex.
ecutiye committee OF the Alabama Agricul-
tural Fair offer a silver watch worth $50 for
tho largest quantity Of cotton produced by
any white boy under sixteen years Of age,
upon an acre Of land. They also offer the
same premium for the largest quantity Of
corn grown by any white boy under sixteen
years of age, upon an acre Of land South

similar course will he pursued in other sec

HYDRoPuOBIA REMEDIEs.-Thcse are now
In season, We give the following as COM
municated by u correspondent: "About
eighteen years ago, In the month of June,
] was bitten by a rabid dog. He had bitten
three dogs on the same day was bitten, all
Of whom showed unmistakablc signs Of the
malady. The means taken In my case were
these, applied by an aged scotchman; A
warm poultice Of common table salt aud
yellow Indian meal, equal parts-say two
ounces-applled TO the wounded part, to re-
main on for twenty-four hours. On the re-
moyal OF this poultice II was found to be as
black ~ Ink, streaked with sort Of yellow
lsh matter. The wound was then allowed
to heal, which 1t did very soon. The next
course was to drink daily, for nearly one
year, a cup Of strong tea, made from the
herb called 'skullcap.' 1t was a very bitter
dose, but hydrophobla staring me In the
face, found II easy to take" By curious
coincidence we find In the New York Sun a
communication In which the writer says
"seeing so many reports Of persons dying
from hydrophobia induces me to say to you
that skullcap tea will surely cure the bite Of
n mad dog, n taken freely, say pint day,
for an adult for a month or twoi children In
proportion to ngc.n
