victory. "'Tis not in mortals to command
success" but surely no number of gentle
men more fully deserved it. If it has fall
len to our marksmen to defeat them IN
four successive contests the Irish rihemen
have NOT undergone the ordeal without
gaining the admiration of their opponents
and the esteem of Americans all over the
Union. We are fully aware OF the diff
cultleS OF getting together a team sure
to win" in a country where the possession
OF a rifle by a private person is a matter
Of direct governmental grace and special
license; but narrow as this restriction
makes the choice, Major Leech must at
least be congratulated on the character of the
marksmen he has found himself called on
to lead at Creedmoor and DolIymount.
As Miner and johnson found their way
with such unefring precision to the bulls
eye, so the whole team has made a mark
upon the affections of America which
viii no. soon be etiaced. In the course Of
the matches the herald by publishing
Its uIgEra.a Z. fte shooting, has eudea-
youred, and with natterng success, to
cond the efforts Of the ritlemen to bring
q beautiful and manly sport into merited
prominence. 1t is gratifying TO know
that while subscribing this good end we
have contributed to swell the chorus of
appreciation which has greeted the efforts
OF such excellent gentlemen and fine shots.
The international communion in manly
sports will DO more to preserve the peace
and good nature Of the world than all the
treaties that the most careful diplomatist
could draw. The puff Of the piile has be-
come among US the calumet Of peaces
We must smoke yet another such as the
last with our Irish friends.-lbid.

STANLEY IN AFRICA.

The Boston Journal prints extracts
from a private letter from Henry M.
Stanley to one of It's correspondents,
written May 19, at the village of Kagehyi,
Lake Victoria N'yauza. He writes :
Just outside of the door OF my hut are
about two dozen of my men, squatted
in a circle and stringing beads. A
necklace of beads is each mans daily sum
wherewith to buy food. l have now q
little over 100 men. Imagine 100 necklaces
given for food each day for the last three
months in the aggregate the sum amounts
to 14,400 necklaces in a year it will
amount to 58,400 necklaces. A necklace
of ordinary beads is cheap enough in the
States, but the expense Of carriage makes
a necklace ere equal to about twenty-five
cents in value. For a necklace | can buy
a chicken or a peck of sweet potatoes or
halt a peck of grain. | left the coast with
about forty thousand yards of cloth, which
In the State would be worth about twelve
and a half cents per yard, or altogether
about five thousand dollars the expense
of porterage as far as this lake makes each
yard worth about fifty cents. Two yards
of cloth will purchase a goat or a sheep
thirty yards will purchase an OK, fifteen
yards is enough to purchase a days
ratlons for the entire caravan. We have
had four battles since we left the coast.
The first occurred in Itarn with a desperate
set of savages, rivaling the Apaches in
ferocity and determination. The battle
lasted three days. 1 lost twenty-one men
killed. Their loss was thirty'fve killed
and some hundred or so wounded. Twice
we made a clean sweep through their
country, burning and destroying everything
we came across, and would have liked
to exterminate the wretches had not my
mission required my duty ia another
direction. On water we were as successful

THE RETURN RIFLE MATCH.

The third international rife match be-

return DolIymount contest, took place on
Thursday, 2lst inst, the Creedmoor, and
resulted in a victory for the Americans
The score stood at the finish 1856 to
l,164 or eleven points more than the .victors
IN the two previous matches at CreedS

We think that the general feeling

Of the last contest at Creedmoor will be

AMERICAN SKILL AND ENG
LISH ALARM.
From the Herald

We do not wonder that the exhibition
of American manufactures in Philadelphia
has startled a number OF intelligent Eng
Jishmen, who are now wiring to the
Loelon Times p~raising the skill aud taste
of American worhmea and Warnlog thelf
W countrymen that we are at last rivals
to be feared. We happen to know that
these English are not alone IN their sur
prise. German, Belgian and French
visitors have also been astonished at the
extent. variety and excellence q our
manufactured products. In fact, it would
not be too much to say that we have given
a surprise to intelligent merchants and
manufacturers from all parts OF the
world.
Nor is this amazing. It is a fact that
our manufacturers produce, IN genera,
better qualities of goods than those OF
Europe -; they turn out, as o rule, more
faithful, more durable, better and more
honest goods. The wooden nutmeg aud
pine ham business has been transferred
across the Atlantic to a great extent, aud
the Americans have in the last dozen or
fifteen years gained a reputation for honest
products which would be invaluable to
us if it were only a little more extended
if we had any foreign trade-whIch IN
fact gives US a vital advantage, "hcneNeF
we do trade, abroad.
That the extent and variety OF our
manufactures should be a surprise to
foreigners who visit rho Exhibition shows
how near extinction our foreign trade ls.
II we had o commerce worthy of the name
it would not need an exhibition to make
foreigners aware of our good work
They would have felt our competition
they would have known to their cost long
ago that We are skilful manufacturers.
The fact is that by unwise laws we have
isolated ourselves almost as though we
had been Chinese or Japanese. That we
excel in many, and even IN most, branches
of manufacture has done US so tar little
or no good, because we cannot sell our
surplus products abroad. We have gone
on improving machinery, continuing new
labor-saving devices and making iron and
steeI do the work of men and women,
until at last we make more than we
can possibly consume, and are brought to
the verge of ruin by a combination OF
mechanical ingenuity and Legislative stu
pidity. Our foreign rivals are alarmed,
but they need not be. We shall doubtless
beat them in manufacturing, but they
continue to beat US in selling. That
which used to be thought a peculiarly
Yankee trick has become one OF the lost
arts with us.
