LORD DUrFER1N IN New YORK CRY
The New York World of the 18th ult.
says:-His Excellency the Earl OF
Dufferin, Governor General of the
Dominion of Canada, arrived in this
city yesterday morning from Toronto,
accompanied by his aide-de-camp,
Captain Ward, r. A., and took rooms
ut the Brevoort House for the day.
Lord Duferin was in excellent health
and spirits after his long and fatigu-
ing journey of 10000 miles to the
far Pacific shores of the English pos
sessions in America, journey which
has been so fully aid picturesquely
described in these columns by our
correspondent, J. B. S. In this jour
ney be was accompanied by Lady
Duferin who remains now at o.
tawa with her children. Lord Duff
FERN, last night visited the fantasti-
cal entertainment of "Baba" at Nib
los Garden, and to-day proceeds to
Philadelphia, where he will spend
some days in studying the great Ex-
hibition as the guest of the Canadian
Commission. His Lordship good
naturally begged to be excused from
the usual formalities of an interview
until more convenient season, but
in general way expressed himself
as in the highest degree delighted
and instructed by all that be had
seen and heard, not only in the dis
tant region which was the objective
point Of his expedition, but at San
Francisco and throughout the great
West, where he had been everywhere
received with the greatest courtesy
and good will. He was not, howev-
or, by any means enthusiastic in his
description of the Mormon capital,
Salt Lake City, where he passed day.
The Mopocs.-A Seneca, Missouri,
dispatch to the st. Louis Globe, of
September 28th, says: "The Modoc
Indians, whose reservation almost ad-
joins this place, are in deplorable
condition. Three years ago they
were removed from the lava beds Of
Oregon to this place. They then
numbered 1853. Of this number, since
that time, fifty-eight have died, and
tho mortality for the past month has
been greater perhaps than ever before.
They are poor and unable to secure
the service of physician, and there
is no provision made by the Cover
ment for that purpose. The hopping
cough is in their camp, and of this
alone eight have died while many are
still suffering with it. They have no
knowledge Of the disease or its treat
ment. We have no physician who
can, single-handed, take charge of
them without any prospect Of remu-
meration. This. then, is their con-
dition. They are in country which
has very different climate and diff
ferent disease to which they have been
accustomed, ignorant of what they
should do for themselves, and with
no money to secure assistance. These
are facts, which can DO substantiated
by the best citizens of Seneca and the
adjoining country.
NJ The Rev. Richard Fuller, d.
D., who died at Baltimore recently,
was very generally recognized as the
leading Baptist clergyman of this
country. He was born at Beaufort,
s. c., in 1900, educated at Harvard,
and admitted to the bar at the age of
twenty-one. With every prospect of
attaining to q lucrative practice, he
abandoned the law for theology, and
was ordained and took charge of the
Beaufort Baptist Church. During
the time he had charge of it he ex-
tended the sphere of his labors be-
yond his own congregation, and as q
missionary displayed great zeal lin
preaching the gospel among the
slaves. In 1847 he went to Balti-
moro, where he remained till tho
time of his death. While in Beau
fort, in 1889, he engaged in . con-
troversy with Bishop England, of
Charleston, on matters concerning
the Roman Chancery, which was sub.
ssqusntly published in book form.
Another we'll known work was his
correspondence with DR.. Wyland on
domestic slavery, and he also pub.
lished series of sermons.
LARGE WHEAT AND FLOUR ExPoRrs.-
Fifty cargoes of wheat and $4,000
bbls. of -four were shipped from San
Francisco last month. The quantity
of -four has been exceeded on several
occasions, the shipments for Deem
Der, 1873, reaching liz, 800 bbls, and
for February, 1854, 106,00 bbls.
The quantity of wheat, however is
the largest in the history of the port.
The nearest approach to it was in
December, 1874, when 40 cargoes
were shipped, aggregating 1,441 500
centals, valued at 81, $50, 800. The
quantity for November, 1874, was also
large, reaching 80 cargoes, or 1857
700 centals, valued at 81, las, 500.
The fifty cargoes shipped last month
aggregate 1906, 900 centals, valued
at 81, 486, 700; and there is q prospect
that three more will be cleared before
the closing of the Custom House to-
day. The largest number of cargoes
cleared during the previous harvest
year was q in October, 1875. Dur
ing the month Of September, 1866,
only 10 cargoes were cleared.-San
Francisco Bulletin.
