Great Britain has prohibited the landing in
that country Of leaves or stalks Of potatoes
from the United States, Canada or Germany.
A new convention concluded between Great
Britain and Egypt for the suppression OF the
slave trade entirely prohibits the export or i'm
port of negro slaves. Egyptian slave-traders
will be tried by court-martial as assassins. For
sgners will be handed over to their own tri-
bunals. British cruisers are authorized to
capture slavers hosting the Egyptian flag. The
Khedive engages to abolish all private tIaffic in
slaves in Egypt within seven years, and within
twelve years in Soudan and the frontier prov
inces
The foreign policy of Servia has precipitated
a revolution in the Ministry, and several resig-
nations have been sent in.
The London Times Calcutta correspondent
telegraphs that the prospects for the autumn
crops may be regarded as hopeless in Southern
India, most critical in Western, Central and
Northern India, and fairly good in Eastern
India.
The Imperial Government Of China has
issued an edict against the use of opium, de-
claring its use was bringing destruction upon
the Chinese people. In addition to home pro-
duction, opium is imported into China to the
annual value of over $40, 900, 900, principally
from British India.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

The President is said to be contemplating a
change in the Indian policy. The details have
not been fully considered, but it is probable
that some of the features of the Canadian sys-
tenn will be adopted. The Canadian plan is
almost exactly opposite to our own, the In
dams being treated as subjects to the Dominion
Government, and not as members Of an indie
pendent nationality They are made amenable
to the law for al offenses, and are protected in
all their rights under the law. There is a
system Of Indian magistracy and a mounted
police.
A Washington correspondent telegraphs that
sit is expected that the vacancy upon the Su.
preme Court bench will be filed in October.
There are nine candidates from the South.
Some Of the officials about the Supreme Court
who have observed the matter closely say that,
if the candidate is nominated outside of the
judicial district in which Judge Davis lived,
the Senate would not be likely to confirm him. y
The great telescope in the hands of Prof.
Hall, at the Washington Observatory, has Just
signalized itself by one of the most surprising
discoveries in modern astronomy-nothing less,
in fact than one, and probably two, satellites
to the planet Mars. The distance of the first
satellite, which is described as faint object
of the thirteenth or fourteenth magnitude, is
between $4,000 or $4,000 miles, which is less
than that of any known planet The inner
one, as to the existence of which the astrono-
mers are not yet absolutely certain, is still
closer. The diameter is very small, probably
not more than 1900 miles.

The Battle Of Bennington.

There was great celebration at Ben
nington, VT. on the 10th of August, of
the centennial of the battle there, which
occurred 100 years ago. On the 10th of
August, 1777, Gen. Stark, at the head of
body of New Hampshire militia, de-
feated detachment OF Burgoyne's army
at Bennington. The battle was renewed
by British reinforcement, but this in
turn was compelled to retreat. The
British lost 200 killed, 600 prisoners, and
1000 stand of arms. The Americans
lost IA killed and AZ wounded. Gen.
Stark, who commanded the Americans,
was an impetuous and brave soldier, but
inclined to make his own orders and pay
little attention to superiors. He had
just been censured by Congress for in
subordination, when the opportunity
was afforded him to attack the British at
Bennington. Stark swore that the enemy
should be whipped that day, or "Mollie
Stark should sleep a widow" and by
hard fighting and good management he
succeeded in routing them as described.
Congress Immediately passed vote of
thanks to him, and made him Briga-
der. He distinguished himself during
the war in many engagements, and was
one of the members of the court that
condemned Maj. Andre. He was the
last surviving General of the Revolu
ton, except Sumter, having died in 1922.

Russian Feeling Toward England and
the United States.

. ID There is a great deal of bitter feeling
among the Russians against England for
the part she has taken in the present
quarrel. When we tell the people here
that we are Americans they are pleased
to find that we are not English. The
mass of the people in Russia like every
thing that is American. One cannot
help noticing this popular feeling, even
during limited intercourse with them.
American goods are favorably received
everywhere within the Cars dominions.
Over2, 900 American sewing machines are
sold annually in Karkoff, a city of about
60, 900 inhabitants. Owing to the man.
ner in which England has shown her
sympathy for the Turks, 1t will be almost
impossible henceforth to sell English
goods or machinery of any kind in Rus
STA. Quite large trade has been built
up in agricultural machinery, but the
present war will destroy it. American
manufactures will replace the English
beyond any doubt. and American mer-
chants should wisely take advantage of
the present favorable opportunity to
send their goods to the Russian markets.
Among the masses the curious impress
sion prevails that an American fleet will
yet sail up the Bosphorus and destroy
the English and Turkish ironclads. The
merchants take more practical view of
the situation in expressing the opinion
that the English business houses will
not be able to collect their bills in Rus
STA for many years, if at all-Letter

THE CROPS In MICHIGAN.

O0cial Returns Made to the Secretary of
state-An Interesting Table of the Ce-
real Product by Counties.
The following statement is made from the
returns to the Secretary of State by the Super
visors, the information being collected by
them at the time they took the assessment
last spring. The statistics are believed to be
substantially accurate for $50 townships and
two cities, the balance of the State furnishing
no statistics. A few Supervisors state that
no wheat, oats, etc., were raised in their
townships. The average yield per acre OF
wheat in 1876, for the State and for each
county, il the average only for those town.
ships that reported both the acreage and the
yield.
A comparison with the census OF 1874 shows
that this average is but 13-100 of 1 per cent
greater than the average in 1873 also, that
there were few more acres harvested III 1876
than in 1873 These facts warrant us in as
Stunning that the yield in 1876 in those town
ships that made no report of wheat for that
year equaled the yield in the same townships
in 1873 or 1,179,307 bushels, which amount,
added to the quantity shown in the table, gives
total yield in the State in 1876 of 16, 839, 476
| bushels The probable yield of wheat the pres
ent year, shown in the fifth column, is found
by multiplying the average yield in 1876 by the
number of acres on the ground in May, 1877,
and is without doubtmuch below the actual yield
for many of the counties and for the State. 1t
| is estimated by some that the yield the present
year is 33 per cent. above that of last year
but if il l. no moro than rs per cent. greater
the crop now on hand may be set down at u,
O49, 345-or, in round numbers. 2l,0O0,0 600
bushels. This is an average of something over
| seven cen bushels per acre. This table shows
the acreage, total yield, and average yield per
acre of wheat in 1876, and the acreage and
yield in 1877, the acreage of corn, oats and
barley i'll 1876, and the number of producers

POLITICAL POINTS.

The West virginians did settle that capital
question after all, but there was evidently a
mistake somewhere. They meant to vote to
keep the question open, but miscalculated to
the extent of a few votes, and Charleston was
chosen the seat of government. This disposes
of an interesting element in West Virginia pol
itics.
