FOREIGN NOTES.

John Laird, the wel-known English ship
builder and member of P&riame ut for Birk.
enhead, died Thursday after a protracted ILL.,
ness.
It 10 stated tina. Berlin letters to South
German papers contain severe menaces
against Austria or account of the attitude as
sumed by the Austrian press in the Arnim
discussion.
There is a firm brass andlcopper wire
m anufacturers in Scotland who have made n
penny 60 farther than ever the thriftiest
Scotchman could make it, having drawn it
out into 27OO feet, or more than half mile Of
wire.
The session of the German Reichstag was
opened Thursday, and the speech from the
throne was delivered by Emperor William in
person. He declared the policy Of the en-
pire to be that Of peace with foreign nations,
except when called upon to act in self de-
fence, and discussed the question Of the issue
of paper currency, and other topics.
There 10 an important article 10 the Russian
organ, the Golos, on the Scbleswig question.
1t strongly advocates the independence Of
Denmark, emphatically condemns any pro-
posal that would give Germany the command
of the Baltic, and says that even the raising
of the question 10 dangerous to the peace Of
Europe.
A good deal Of attention, says Sydney pa.
per, is being given in Australia to the cult
walton of the Angora goat. The hair 10 said
to make very good "mohair" fabric, but its
quality depends very much upon the nature of
the locality in which the animals are reared.
Undulating prairies, with good supply OF
pure water, are best adapted to the habits of
this goat. In sandy, hily districts it thrives
admirably, but the hair is inferior and falls
off very quickly. The flesh is excellent. and
is preferred in some parts of Australia to the
best mutton. The milk is of good quality
and yields good supply of butter and cheese.
The hair is worth about four shillings apound
and one ram will yield about four pounds at
each shearing; the best plan is to shear them
twice year, a. this prevents the hair from
falling off and from splitting; at each shear
ing it is about six inches long. Compared
with the merino sheep, the Angora goat seems
to have the advantage in the fact that the
former produces only three and half pounds
of wool, worth two shillings and sixpence per
pound, and that six merinoes will eat as much
a. seven Angoras. These facts are important
in view of the acclimatization of the Angora
goat 10 this country.

man. no matter how high his position. He
expresses his firm belief that the republican
marty should continue to hold the balance Of
power and control the country; and that any
errors or faults of the party may, and should
be, recti6ed inside the party. In reply to
questions Is to his opinion on the sThird
Term" question, Mr.. Medill said he did not
believe that President Grant ever had the
slightest idea of again becoming candidate,
and all the talk OF "Third Term" originated
and has its only foundation in the enterprise
of newspapers desirous OF Hing their columns
and creating a sensation. The original stock
of the Tribune company is 2C0 shares at
81 900 per share, and it is stated that Mr..
Medill paid $500 600 for sixty shares, or at
the rate of $1,000 share, and that he now
holds three ftths of the entire stock.

about thirty men, well armed, rode into the
town, remained about fifteen minutes near
the camp, and then rode off keep q good
guard against anything of this kind.
Respecting Louisiana General Mellow
ell simply states the disposition made of
the troops in that State, and then quotes
from the statement no made last January
before the Military Committee of the
House in regard to troops in the South.
At that time he gave it as his oppinion
that troops were needed in that section to
keep the peace. and that the numbers
should not be decreased. His remarks
then foreshadowed the disturbances which
have prevailed this fall, owing to the ku-
Klux and White League. II think it is

Louisiana have been of immense public
good. Tt is so recognized. believe, by
"all parties. They ha e been the preserv-
.'ers of peace, and think that their whole
"course has been of the most conserva-
"tive character"
As q whole General McDowell's report
snbstantiates the utterances of the repub-
licans press in regard to affairs in the
South. Without the troops and the re-
straining effect of the authority of the
United States there would be scenes of
terrible violence, to end only in the COM
plete snbjguation of the blacks and their
return to a condition of servitude, and
the expulsion from the southern States Of
every white republican who dared declare
his political sentiments. Yet while the
democratic party upholds the nefarious
course of the Ku-Klux and White League
and the support Of the national republic
can party and the administration is the
only reliance of the colored people and
the perpetuation of liberation and free
dom in the South. there are those who
say there is no difference between the
anddemocratic parties, and that
the mission of the foremer is ended. An
attempt on their part to make residence
in the South and vote republican
ticket would soon convince them Of their
error.

THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE.

The Chicago Tribune, which was formerly
the leading republican paper in the West, but
went off in the liberal republican movement,
continuing with the liberals TO the present
time, 10 about to return to the republican par
ty, under the able management of Joseph
Medill, one of the founders of that paper.
An announcement made in the Evening Jour
nal says Mr.. Medill has purchased a sufficient
amount of the stock in the company, added to
what he already had, to give him controlling
interest and that he would assume entire con-
troll of the paper at an early day. In an in
terview Mr.. Medill said the statement was
correct, and the circumstances which brought
the change we're briefly as follows: As is gen.
orally known political difference of opinion
between Mr.. Medill and the other stockhold-
ers of the Tribune caused the withdrawal of
the former from all editorial connection with
the paper some four years since. connection
which has never been renewed except for
short period immediately after the Are of 1871,
to the Mayoralty. At the close of his term Of
Office Mr.. Medill went to Europe, and
during the latter part of summer. received in
formation that he could either sell his stock
in the Tribune or purchase controlling in
terest, one Of which he was desirous of doing.
lie immediately arranged to come home and
since his arrival here. some two weeks ago,
negotiations have been pending which to-day
resulted as above stated. Mr.. Medill pur-
chased Of Horace White all the stock in the
Tribune except a minor portion which he will
retain at present as an investment. Mr..
White will 60 TO Europe with the hope Of re-
cruitiug his health. which has been considera-
bly, impaired BY his severe professional labor
OF the past four years. Mr.. Alfred Cowles,
for twenty years business manager of the
Tribute, retains considerable portion Of the
stock, and will continue to manage the busi.
ness department. As to the political status
of the paper herealfer, Mr.. Mediil declares
his intention is, to put II back into the posi-

The Worcester Gazette 10 enthusiastic over
Speaker Blaine's speech on Wednesday night.
'It was not so much in eloquence," it says,
"although it was at times fiery. 1t was not
its rhetoric, for it contained little wordy or.
nament. 1t was not it's humor, for the Speak
er was seldom playful. Mr.. Blaine built up
carefully a solid argument on the fundamen-
tai distinction between the two parties, and in
a manly fashion and with much esrnes.ness
expounded it SO plainly that he compelled the
convictions of his hearers. There we're many
republicans, last evening, who could give no
Ineligible reason for the faith that was in
them. This morning, their heads are clear
and their minds are made up"
