Josiah w. Begole, Representative in
Congress from Michigan, is in trouble.
The United States timber agent has
arrested him for cutting down and haul
ing off 400, 900 feet of lumber from Go
vernment land in Lapeer County. This
looks little like the free style of mo.
rality which prompts some gentlemen to
furnish themselves with horses from
other mems stables after dark. But
Josiah should not be judged harshly.
He is a member Of Congress, and there

PROSPECT OF THE FALL MONEY Mar.
KEr.-The following is the speculation
OF Hunts Merchants Magazine in regard
to the future Of the money market: "For
anything that appears, We shall have mo.
mentary tranquility for the next two or
three months. The best authorities
anticipate trouble in the fall. Conse-
quently there will be more disposition to
provide time loans beforehand, and
already some heavy transactions are re-.
ported running to January. This dispo.
sition to seek time loans in the summer.
reaching through the fall and winter, il
it extends, as it bids fair to do, will have
the twofold effect of diminishing the
pressure in the fall and winter, and oi
increasing the activity during the dull
months between seasons. If, for this
and other reasons, money should moi
lend at as low rates as usual this summer,
there will probably be compensation in
the prevalence of easier rates in the fall,
especially as the drain of capital from
this centre, in consequence OF the fires
at Chicago and Boston, has ceased, and
will, in all probability, be followed in q
few months by return current setting
this way. AS the outward flow of capital
contributed 80 much toward making oul
money market sensitive, tight and bare
of funda, so the return of that capital
should tend, when it sets in, to develop
ease"

Vans Now GofRa ON.-Despite the
efforts OF. the Universal RaAca Alliance,
there are now number OF wars going
on. Men have not yet even begun 10

are now wgoing on: ~: ~:
/ I. An, internicine war between The
republican Government OF Spain and
Don Carlos, the legitimate heir OF the
Bourbons to the throne. This war hos
continued for some time, with varying
success. At present, there seems no
hope Of decided victory by either army.
II. The war between Cuba and the
mother country. This struggle has con-
tinued for yeare. It has been prosecuted
with vigor on both eidas and ferocity on
one. The end ia not yet.
Ill. The war between Russia and
Khiva. The kilograms have informed
as lately that Khiya was captured and
the Khan conquered. Our morning de.
spatches contradict this rumor. Russia,
though che will doubtless ultimately be
successful, will have to earn her conquest
OF the Khanate of Khiva by marching
over the deserts of the Khan aud fight.
ing his soldiers.
~. The war between Captain Juck
and his Modocs and the military power
OF the United States. This unequal
struggle, unequal more especially on the
part OF the United States, has continued
for months. It has cost US brigadier.
general OF the army, number of officers
OF lower grades, and not few non com
missioned officers and privates, not to
mention the great expenses Of war in
Oregon. Captain Jack. too, hos lost, if
the kilograms are to be believed, num-
ber OF redskins equal to more than
double the number Of his original force,
unfortunately for us, without diminish
ing his ardor or lowering the efficiency
of his ooprs of sharp shooters. The
Universal Peace Alliance has not yet, We
regret to say. converted Captain Jack
from the ends Of his martial ways. Hinc

". The war between the Dutch and
the Sultan OF Atoheen. This conflict
will, after the close Of the present armed
netrality, break out before many months
with renewed fury.
Baker and his forces and the slRye-deal-
ers OF the White Nile. Late dispatches
show that the painful rumor Of the death
OF this hardy explorer and his accom-
plished wife has no truth in it. Sir Ba-
mual is, therefore, now executing his
mission in the very heart of Africa.
To all these wars must be added the
occasional conflicts that occur on the
banks OF the Rio Grande, between the
Mexioans and the Texans; the chronic
revolutions OF Central and South Ameri
ca; the difficulties between the English
in India and the wild tribes on Their
Northern frontier-difioulties finally to
be settled only by force of arms: md the
internal struggles, leading to occasional
bloodshed, in most countries of the
world, not excepting our own. Peace
may come, but it has not come.

Dull TEADE.-A letter of Wednesday,

"The spring is wearing away without
bringing with it any material increase in
city trade. Very few of the merchants
in any department ore making money,
while tho majority OF them think them
selves doing we'll If they can only work
along and meet current expenses. This
remark applies more particularly to the

It is not surprising at all that under

pleased the collector better; it was just
into his hand-for the endeayor to be
honest and to pay every legal charge on
the part OF the South african English
man was direct violation OF the Law,
and subjected the poor fellows diamonds
to eonfiscation, and he was adjudged
guilty Of an attempt to defraud the re-
venue, as there is regulation forbidding
the importation of diamonds through the
mails. The officials did not infer that
Ashe importer meant dishonesty; they
never do that when q few pennies can be
made by contrary inference, and no
notice was given the agent OF the i'm.

DWELLING HOUSE BURNT.-Tho fire
referred to in yesterdays PHOENIX de-
stroyed the dwelling, kitchen and smoke,
house OF Mr. Simeon Rawl, near Bar
hamyillc, about three miles from Colum-
blu. The entire contents, with the
exception Of bed and some provisions,
were lost. The fire was, doubtless, The
work Of an incondiary, as Mr.. Rawl is
satisfied he heard something moving
about up stairs; but supposing it was q
dog, paid no attention to it; shortly af-
towards, he discovered tho fire, which
burnt rapidly. 1t is believed, however,
that had bucket or two of water beeu
on hand, the flames could have been
checked; but as there was no we'll on the
premises, and the spring was some dis
tance of, the flames had full sway.
a CURIOUS PArENr.-A Washington
correspondent says gentleman recent
ly applied for patent for boring the
earth for artesian wells for purposes Of
irrigation. Ho gravely set forth that he
made the discovery that quicksilver was
heavier than the common earth. He
therefore proposed to start hole and to
empty into it little mercury. By the
laws Of nature that mercury would be sure
to work its way downwa until it struck
water, and tho water would then be sure
to work it's way upward till it struck air.
The Chinese would object to that.
