The Government of England will
shortly be askt to grant a charter to a
large and influential company of Eng
lishmen, empowering them to hold, oc-
cupy, and use vast tracts of land on the
west coast of Africa. The movement
will be modelled upon the old East India
Company, and the arguments for its ne.
cessity are supported by the fact that the
present system of trading in that region
means very little more than selling rum
and tobacco to the natives and encourag-
ing them to keep up the slave trade.
The government under the present dis
jointed system of rule in West Africa,
can not reach and correct the evils COM
planned of by civilized nations. But a
great organized company, it is claimed,
like that which ruled India, could and
would do what the home government
is powerless to do.

SONG OF THE COUNTRY.

Away from the roar and the rattle,
The dust and the din OF the town,
Where to live is to brawl and battle,
Till the strong treads the weak man down
Away to the bonnie green hills
Where the sunshine sleeps on the brae,
And the heart OF the greenwood thrills
To the hymn Of the bird on the spray.
Away from the smoke and the smother
The veil OF the dun and the brown,
The push, aud ths plash, ard the pother,
The wear and the waste Of the town;
Away where the sky shines clear,
And the light breeze wanders at will,
And the dark pine wood mods near
To the light plumed birch on the hill.
Away from the whirling aud wheeling,
And steaminR above aud below,
Where the heart has no leisure Tor feeling
And the thought has no quiet to grow;
Away where the clear brook purls,
And the hyaciuth droops in the shade,
And the plume Of the fern uncurls
Its grace In the depth of the glade.
Away to the cottage SO sweetly
Enibowered meath the fringe Of the wood,
Where the wife Of my bosom shall meet me
With thoughts ever kindly and good
More dear thau the wealth Of the w0rld,
Fond mother with bairnies three,
And the pump.armed babe that has curled
Its lips sweetly pouting Tor me-
Then away from the roar and the rattle,
The dust aud the din OF the town..
Where to live is to brawl and to battle
Till the strong treads the weak man down.
Away where the green twigs nod
In the f,a9rlnt breath OF the May,
And the sweet growth spreads on the sod,
And the blithe birds sing on the spray.

WESTERN grain dealers always manage
to discover short crops and bad harvest
about this time, and 1t is not surprising
that they have found pretexts for bear
operation this year. But all trustworthy
accounts agree that the wheat crop this
year is unusually large and fine, while
that of California is estimated at more
than 100000, greater than last year. Our
cotton crop never promised be.ter. The
hay crop IL heavy, and the yield OF corn
now bids fair To outstrip that OF any
former wear. IC almost seems as though
the earth were joining with the people in
celebrating the Centennial in the abund-
ance and exuberance Of It's yield. The
foreign demand for our produce is likely
TO continue without abatement, and with
cheap transportation there can hard y
help being large amount OF business in
the fall and through the winter.

BRIGHAM YoUNG is the father Of sixty
three children, forty.fve of whom are
living. More than half Of these are
females, and, with but two or three ex-
ceptions, all are blondes, and none what
may be called beautiful. The last child
born unto Brigham is a little girl, six
years old; daughter of Amelia Van Cott,
Brigham's fourteenth wife. She is -
woman of about forty, rather pretty, and
the next favorite to Amelia Folsom, his
eighteenth wife. No. Is is credited with
high grade temper, and it is said that
she treats Brigham as IL she were his
mother-in. law instead of his wife.

In solitude the mind gains strength,
and learns to lean upon herself; In the
world IL seeks or accepts OF q few treach-
erous supports--the ieigned compassion
of one, the flattery OF the second, the CIV
ilities of the third, the friendship of a
fourth; they all deceive and bring the
mind back to retirement, reflection and
books.-St9ne.

MINOR TOPICS.

AT Carsville, Va, two young girls by
the name of Massen were crossing an
open field, and between them carrying q
pail of new milk. when a thunderbolt
descended from comparatively clear
sky, aud stretched them both senseless
upon the earth. One, the eldest, twenty
years Of age, was killed outright, and
the other was insensible for an hour OF
more. The sun was shining brightly at
the time.

SANTA ANNA is dead. His age was
eighty-four. He was for long time the
most important man in his country. He
was engaged in the first war between
Mexico and France, and was defeated by
the Texans, under Houston at Buena
Vista, and by Scott at Cerro Gordo. He
had vast estates when in power, but had
lost them, and during his last years he
was poor. He had been repeatedly
exiled, but his last residence was in the
City of Mexico.

The telegraph brings news of deadly
battle between band of United States
troops led by Gen. Custer and the In
dians, on the Little Horn River. The
report is sufficient to show that our
soldiers met with crushing defeat.
Not a man of the detachment which
made the attack was left to tell the story.
The gallant Gen. Custer and his two
brothers were killed at the head of their
columns, and nearly three hundred men
shared their fate. 1t was dreadful en-
counter, and the worst feature of it is
the encouragement which the Indians
will draw from their success. Hence
forth they will fight with new courage,
and it is impossible to tell how many
more lives of our best soldiers will be
needed to subject them. The fight pre-
pares the way for long and bloody
Indian war.

ABDUL AZIZ never maze hail so much
noise in the world during his life as he
has made since his death. His friends
and family are doing their best to prove
that he must have been crazy for years
past, and very likely he was. Absolute
power made the Caesars mad, and the
Sultans are of no sterner stuff Caligula
and his horse are fairly matched by
Abdul Aziz and his cock. 1t seems that
the Commander of the Faithful walking
one day in the superb gardens of one of
his thirty-one palaces, was captivated by
the scarlet comb and splendid plumage
of an arrogant young cock strutting and
growing about under the pleached
bowers. He sent for the steward of the
poultry and ordered the bird to be dis
patched to his own royal apartments in
the Bechiktach palace. There the Sultan
fed the bird himself, delighted to hear
him crow at all hours, and generally
treated him like great parsonage.
Finally, one morning he called the
Council together and ordered the
fortunate chanticleer to be made Grand
Officer of the Imperial Order of the
Osmanie, founded by himself in 1861
This was done, the Grand Chancellor o
the Order passing the Gordon of the
Order solemnly around the neck of tn,
astonished bird. And yet there are
people who pretend to be surprised tha
Abdul Aziz should have killed himsel
with pair of scissors.

AN officer of the first French Empire
founded singular banquet in 1867,
which has since been celebrated annually.
The peculiarity about it is that the
guests to be qualified must be at least
eighty years of age. Each year some
one of those present on the previous
occasion are found to be missing, but
their places are taken by others who
have arrived at the required age. At
the last banquet, held recently, twenty
five persons were present, the oldest one
being ninety-eight years of age.

AN English inventor has introduced a
unique implement in the shape of a
grooming apparatus, which is said to be
decidedly valuable for the purpose. The
winch handle projects from fy-wheel
around the periphery of which an end.
less gut band passes over small pulley
below. The framing of the machine is
bolted to the floor. There are three
arms of different angles, these being
tubes, and each having rotary spindle
in 1T; these are connected to the spindle
of the pulley above-named by the miter
gear of each articulation, of a circular
instead of conical form, so that the
spindles are actuated, whether at an
angle or in straight line. The brush is
on the end of the spindle in the tube
arm, held in the hand of the operator.
The weight, with cord over the pulley,
ounterbalances the arms, thereby re.
lieving the operators hand. The three
arms bend in any direction and, by con.
ncction with the spindle of the pulley
they have also rotary motion, enablino
the brush to be applied to every part and
angle of the body. When the operator
holding the brush, turns the spindle oI
the pulley in the direction in which IL /,
rotating, it is in favor of the person al
the winch but wien il is turned the op.
posite way, the reverse is the case. The
brush may be taken of, and a polisher,
consisting of cylinder about the same
size az the brush, composed of disks OF
thick felt material, put on.

A TUMULUs of unusual size has lately
been opened near the Nordford in Nor
way, dating apparently from the year
500. 1t was stored with all the magnif-
icent belongings of viking chieftain.
A bow, of precious enamel, store of
amber, a massive belt of bronze, rank
among the most splendid trophies of the
viking period which have come down to
us. There were also some stone balls
fattened on one side, with dint in the
center of the base, which some regard as
marbles, fattened for use on board ship
but others argue that they belonged
rather to a peculiar game now no longer
in vogue and played on shore. This
theory is supported by references found
in the ancient sagas.

SATURDAY, Oct. PIP M.-The Wall
ptreet markets were generally quiet, partly be-
cause Saturday Is a half holiday. and partly be-
cause the European news shed no fresh light
NOON the Eastern question. The bulk OF the

tone. and the stock market consequently as
pumed more strength, while the home innu-
