Officer Pryor went down the river on
a hunting excursion the other day.
He succeeded in getting a shot at a
long necked and long legged specimen of
the feathered race which he believed to
be yellow pelican, and brought down
the game. Elated at his success he
slung the bird over his shoulder and
walked into town with his prize, as
proud as if he bad captured high
wayman. He exhibited the trophy at
down town saloon and was dilating
upon his prowess as hunter and the
fine qualities of his game just as Ken

GEN. Pleasonton's blue glass theory

His idea that electricity is generated

truth. as a pure. white light is best.
The only good that can possibly come

The Cruise of the Princess-Eighting the
ga Home by the Sea-NIeeiing of n
Colony.

On Tuesday morning July 10th, the Princess
was lying at anchor in Moose.a-bec Reach, but
it might have been anywhere else for all that
the crew could see as they came on deck. A
thick gray blanket of fog had settled like pal
during the night and shut from view the shore
and sky; even the schooners moored close
alongside were completely hidden. The sharp
est eyes could not pierce the gray, wet mist for
more than boats length. Out of the void
around came voices from the shore, a football
on the deck of neighboring craft. the regular
stroke and splash of oars of some boat pulling
by within cables length, but nothing was to
be seen, nothing but the dull, chilling, watery
mass OF fog that enveloped US.
OF course, it was useless to think of getting
under way. To sail yacht into the Bay of
Fundy tides in Bay of Fundy fog would be
like plunging into the breakers blindfold So
idly at anchor the Princess lay, while fair
wind kept whispering through her shrouds
'come along all the day. In the forenoon
the General and the cable seaman" fished
o country horse six miles along a country road
and caught fine mess of trout in Indian
river. Others of the crew took a stroll on
shore. BY the roadside man was shoyelng
muck into cart, in the thlls of which a
patient COW was harnessed. Stopping to make
inquiries, we found him to be one of the
famous Jaffa colony of Maine. 1t will be
remembered that one Adams some eight or ten
years ago sailed from Jonesport in an Ameri-
can barque, bound for Jaffa with colony of
156 people of Maine. These men were as
much enthusiasts as the crusaders of old. They
sailed oyer the seas from the rock bound coast
of Maine, firmly believing that they were

AND now, after steady course of vituper-
alton of Mr.. Pierrepont, the American min
lister at London, the very correspondents in
newspapers that started these scandals are
quietly trying TO show that he is a very ex-
cellent man and an honest public servant.
The same authorities amused themselves in
abusing Mr.. Crane, the American consul at
Manchester, England. the only effect of
which has been to call to his defense one of
the ablest writers in London, Colonel Doug
las D. Muter, Of the Anglo-American Times.
1t is a pitiable business that these personal
assaults upon American officials should be
published by American newspapers at home.
In nine cases out of ten they originate with

THERE are divers modes of raising money
to carry on the government in various coun.
tries, but all of them come down. sooner or
later, to the principle of taxation. The
Italian Senate just before its recent proroga-
tion, voted bill called that of "the reformed
tax on revenue" and authorized a stoppage
of 13 per cent. out of all money given as
aims at masses. One of the Roman journals,
desirous of showing how this new impost
would work, gave the following illustration: !:
"a person." it said, ''goes to funeral SER
vice or wedding and drops into the bag of
the collecting priest for the poor of the par
ish a piece of five francs, but: the state will
henceforwarn take thirteen sous out of your
Offering" 1t is obvious that this tax besides
being unpopular can with difficulty be COL
lected

THE French government has taken the
trouble and gone to the expense of construct
ing and publishing political map of France.
In this all the ACCOMPLISHMENTS, or districts,
the deputies for which voted want of conf
dence in the present cabinet are colored red,
while green and white indicate those on the
other side and the very few neutrals. OF
course, the red, representing the Opposition
majority, greatly predominates, covering the
whole eastern part of the country. The re-
suit thus tangiby exhibited is clear enough.

THE annual report upon commercial rela-
tions OF the United States with foreign ma
tions during 1876 states that the foreign trade
of the countries on the American continent
lying south Of the United States amounted to
$500, ,000,0 900 during the last year, of which
amount the United States shares to the ex-
tent of $112, 100000, not one third of which is
transported under our own flag. With the
Argentine Republic, whose foreign trade
amounts to 100000 year we do bust
ness representing only $6,500,000.
THE Supreme court of the United States
has affirmed the decision OF the Vermont
Supreme Court, that 1t was the duty of the
cashier of national bank in Brattleboro to
furnish the treasurer of the town with list
of the shareholders for purposes of taxation.
This decision is in accordance with previous
judgments, that national banks are subject
to state legislation, excepting where such
legislation is in conflict with the laws of
Congress, or where it tends to impair or de-
stroy the utility of such banks as agents or
instrumentalities Of the United States, or
interferes with the purposes of their creation.
THE London Times takes the occasion of
the arrival of the English fleet at Besika Bay
to warn the Turks against the illusion that
this event will be of any service to them, or
that the English Government contemplates
giving them any military support. 'Nothing
could be imagined" says the Times, "more
reckless, more unjustifable, more cruel to
the obstinate, misguided race on whom
would fall the worst consequences Of the de-
lusion." 1t once more states, as it has done
before, that the feet is stationed there to
show that England is observant and has a
policy to assert, and that she snly follows
the practice of all nations in placing troops
upon their frontiers In time of war.

is also Republican, with less admixture of
equally divided, Republicanism being more
inland and Conservatism more on the coast,
and Southwest France is peedomnantly
Conservative. The Republicans monopolize
twenty-three out of the eighty-seven depart
ments. while the Conservatives hold sole DOS
session of none. 1t is apparent from this
that, unless there be most outrageous and
wholesale stuffing of the ballot boxes at the
approaching general election, the Republic
ans must obtain a large majority in the Cham
Der of Deputies. The government confesses,
by its wholesale removal of Projects and
other officials who will have to preside at the
election, that it will stop at nothing to secure
the return of Deputies to its final policy.
NJ. DE LAvELEYE. the able and we'll
known French publlcist has written review
article on British interests in the East, which
has given rise to much varied criticism. He
says that if Russia annexes Armenia, which
is probable. England will have, as a matter of
precaution to occupy Egypt and Cyprus
that Crete ought TO 60 to Greece, while Cy-
prus, transformed into Gibraltar, will be a
better and nearer commanding point for the
shores of Syria and the entrance to the Suez
Canal. By the annexation of Armenia Rus
sia would command Syria, and so might
threaten the canal with an attack by land,
against which the English fleet would be
powerless. Egypt, in the hands of the Eng
lish, might recover the splendor of her an
tiquity, with the slave trade annihilated, and
an unbroken current of civilization would
speedily cross Africa from Alexandria to the
Cape of Good Hope. As to India it must be
lost to England in the end. NJ. de Laveleye
says: "The reason is plain. I say nothing of
the danger of the approach of the Russians,
which must go on with time, without neces-
sarily ending in a shock. But the more ac.
lively the English set up railways in India,
canals, manufactures, schools-the moge in a
word, they civilize the natives-by so much
the more rapidly will they be fastening the
epoch of their coming of age, and consequent
iy their aspirations after independence" 1t
IS simply impossible that hundred thousand
Europeans should continue indefinitely to
govern two hundred millions of foreign SUBJ
jects, when the latter have once been in how
ever slight degree, penetrated with modern
ideas. Therefore, the argument runs, elf
emancipation of India must inevitably take
place, even in remote future, a far-sighted
English Minister ought already to take his
measures. he ought to occupy Egypt in Or
der that the road to India may not be inter-
rupted. And along the banks of the Nile he
ought to advance towards the interior of the
continent, so as to have a new colonial en-
pire when the old empire comes to cut the
bond that attaches it to the mother coun-

Austin should meet and talk over the
situation. If any one of them doesn't
see blue ruin in the way things are 60
ing and in the conduct and course of
railways, they are binder than we
dream. The remedy is simple and
easy of attainment. 1t is better for us
to pay five per cent. on all our prop
erty than see it gradually dwindle be-
fore our eyes into nothingness. We
must counteract the effect of the course
given the International road; we must
compel the extension of the Indianola
and Cuero road to Austin; we must
force the narrow gauge from Hous-
ton to come here for traffic and
travel. Do sane men propose to
stand idle till they become too
poor and helpless to do anything
Can we not induce property-holders
and merchants to cooperate. A SELF
imposed tax of five per cent. will give
us $500, 600 to invest in the marrow
gauge towards Ell Paso, and this will
draw to us, by resistless force, every
railway leaving the gulf, and restore
to Austin the trade of the northwest
ern and western counties in the State.

A CORRESPONDENT of the London
Daily Ne,os, at Constsntinople, predicts
that if the present Turkish government
can maintain itself it will make peace
with Russia as soon as the people have
been sufficiently humbled by one or two
crushing Russian victories. The Rus
siaps, he says, will be content with the
cession Of Bstoum and portion of
Armenia, and with the free passage of
Dardanelles, but they will be content
with nothing less. II they are very
successful, and the Turks are very
much depressed, they may demand Il
large portion OF the Turkish ironclad
fleet. 1t is probable that they will be
moderate, and equally probable that
the Turks will be yielding. 1t will suit
Russia, who has been striving to WIN
Constantinople for one hundred and
fifty years, to advance some ten or fif-
teen years nearer to the fruitIon of her
wishes. 1t will suit the present rulers
of Turkey to get fresh lease of power,
at no matter what sacrifice. The dis
content in the provinces, he continues,
ia immense. The entire provincial
population is ready to demand the die,
! Of the Palace. Tho sultan knows not
what to do with regard to these men.
He dsres not dismiss them; he dares
not even accept their resignation lest
he should lead the pOpulace to demand
still further concessions. On the other
hand, he breads popular outbreak,
which must be crushed with such
cruelty as would still further ALLEVIATE
from Turkey the sympathy and support
of the Western nations. The thoughts
of the people turn continually towards
the ex Sultan Mourad. They know
that if his health is not absolutely re-
stored it is greatly improved. The
widest rumors are in circulation as to
the conduct of the present Sultan, as
to his legitimacy, which is publicly
questioned, and as to his capacity.
Mourad was deposed solely for assumed
incapacity. II he were to present him
self to the public his deposition would
become a dead letter.

AN ANGRY READER OF THE
STATESMAN.

A good man has been offended be-
cause the STATESMAN made a mistake
of fact, having been misinformed by
an honest gentleman who was, as we
know, honestly mistaken. The angry
person says he will not advertise again.
He can't help himself. Let him try it
ten days, and he will advertise even if
we double the rates. He has hereto
fore tested the value of printers ink.
lie tried the "dodger" dodge, and
then sent circulars around, and then
printed neat little story on postal
cards. We saw all this. Finally he
came back to the STATESMAN and con-
fessed that an lad" in its pages cost
ing $3.50 per annum was worth more
than $1,000 invested in other agencies
of local fame. The paper comes like
the sun with each new day. 1t lives
through the day and to- morrow the
world greets it again, because, with
the same name, it is ever q newly-born,
fresh and original newspaper. Every
body must read it to know what every
body else will be thinking ana talking
about, and how the universal world is
wagging, and every reader glances
at the advertising pages to discover
whatever may be fresh in the business
and moral aud political worlds. No,
no, our old friend dare not quit. he
is compelled to stick, or start news
paper. This would cost $50. 900 in
town like this, and we don't think he
will invest in such speculation or in
handbills. he will not withdraw
from the STATESMAN. He dares not.
