wives and ffty-six children (pixteen sons and
twenty-eight daughters) to mourn his death.
The death of f. l.. Davenport, for many
years recognized AZ one of the most accom-
plished actors on the American stage, occurred
last week at his simmer residence in Canton,
Pa. Mr.. Davenport was 81 years old.
In the month of May, 1876, Hon. 8. s. Bur-
dette, Commissioner of the General Land Office
at Washington, and an ex-member Of Con-
gress from Missouri, mysteriously disappeared.
He was last seen at hotel in New York, where
he had considerable money on his person, and
it was supposed he had been murdered and
robbed. The other day he suddenly reappeared
in Sedalia, No. The unfortunate mans mind
is clouded, and he is unable to tell where he
has been or what he has been doing all these

artillery regiment in the rebellon afterward
served under Juarez in Mexico; then lived in
retirement at a country seat near Philadelphia;

several years.
In disposing of his property, Brigham Young

tbs legatees will have, with such other proper
ty as he has from time to time conveyed them,
an equal proportion of the old mans goods.

TRADE AND INDUSTRY.

THERE are seventy establishments in
the United States devoted to the pro-
duction of window glass. OF the several
States New Jersey has the largest
number, twenty-seven.
The Springfield Republican, says the
Fall River manufacturers have been at
tempting TO force up the prices of their
goods little too fast, and, creating a
reaction in consequence, have been ac-
cumulating heavy stocks. But they have
such faith in the future of the market
that they refuse to reduce production,
and several new mills are in progress of
erection, while nearly all of them have
recommended paying dividends to their
stockholders.
FROM all reports received it seems to
be an assured fact that the British har-
vest this year will be light one, the
wheat crop especially. The harvest in
France is also defective, and the Russian
fields are going to waste owing to insult
ficient hands. The German crop is look
ing well. This is rather encouraging
news for us. We have this year one of
the finest crops ever garnered, and it is
estimated on the London Exchange that
the importation of wheat from America
will exceed last years supply by 2,000,-
600 quarters.
In spite of the recent sudden falling
off in the exports of fresh meat to Eu-
rope, the business still survives, and gives
promise of permanence. Since January
l we have sent to English ports SO. 445,-
400 pounds fresh beef, worth SO, 94l 500,
against -, 900, 1876 pounds worth 81, 1885,
l91 during the same period of 1876 The
butter and cheese exports are large.
Since May l, 6,031 1853 pounds of but
ter have been sent over, against $780,
l49 the same period of 1876, so, 667, TAB
pounds of cheese, against 43, 442, 10 last
year.
The great German capital, Berlin, is
going through q terrible real-estate col
lapse. For three or four years before
1873 it seemed impossible to build
houses fast enough to supply the in
creasing population, or to advance
prices beyond the takers. But the sup
ply was pushed beyond the demand,
prices have been so high that people
went away, aud now there are 10000
vacant apartments in the city. There
is great deal of real estate that does
not yield income enough to pay taxes.
and widespread distress and ruin
among real estate men who have done
business on borrowed capital.
THE farmers are enjoying prosperity
which might well arouse the envy of all
other classes. Combining in themselves
the interests of both capital and labor,
they have, fortunately, escaped the eff
fects of the recent conflicts which the
antagonism of such interests has pro-
duced in various parts of the country.
They have titled their fertile acres in
peace, and have been bles. with an un-
usually abundant harvest. Their bins
are bursting with the golden yield of the
grain fields. Plenty sits smiling at
their hearths. For the products of
their acres there is an active demand.
The granaries of the marts of Russia
have been exhausted. The war has
practically stopped Russian agriculture.
The surplus of American grain will find
a ready outlet trough the channels of
expectation. Prices will rule high and
farmers will be happy.

Enthusiastically the latter-and I'M
less the times improve we shall hear OF
bad news from the dramatic combina-
tons"
The estate of the late Brigham Young,
says a Salt Lake correspondent, is esti-
mated at from Sc, 600, coo to $1,000, 600,
but it would be difficult to place any APP
proximate value upon it, as 1t is very
widely scattered He owns large tracts
of real estate in many of the settlements,
and mills, buildings, live stock and a
great variety of improvements. He
owns nearly all the stock in the street
railroads in this city, and large amounts
of Utah Central and Utah Southern
railroad bonds, is a large owner in the
Deseret Bank, the Deseret Telegraph
Company, the controlling proprietor of
the great Zion's Cooperative Mercantile
Institution, etc.
LATER accounts of the famine in India
present most horrible picture of suffer
ing among the natives. In Southern
India, the district most affected by the
famine, there are some $4,000, 900 peo-
pie. of whom, according to authoritative
statements, one-sixth, or 1000, 900, must
die of actual want. The distance to be
traversed between this afflicted district
and the productive portions of India is
SO great that, with the utter absence of
means of transportation, except wagon
teams (Which cannot carry enough for
their own subsistence), the task of re-
lieving the starving millions would be
impossible. Some fearful instances of
suffering in the streets of Madras are re-
counted, where infants are abandoned by
their mothers and left to perish by the
roadside. The most horrible phase of
the visitation yet made known is given
in report from the province of Mysore,
where two cases of cannibalism are said
to have occurred. A member of the re-
lief committee in that quarter fears that
this practice must, under the circum-
stances, become widespread.
SEVERAL of the Posts of the Grand
Army of the Republic have drawn up a
series of resolutions embodying plan
for frontier protection very much after
the manner in which Austria, n cent
ury ago, protected herself against Turk
ish invasion. The object is to guard
the frontier by Gordon of posts, garri-
soned by veterans of the late war, Occu-
plying the country as actual colonists.
The Government is to give each actual
settler who served in the late war 160
acres of the public lands, furnish a saw
mill and grist-mill for each district, and
also establish Quartermasters Depart
ment for hepurpose of issuing all nee
essary supplies of lumber and materials
to build n house and to furnish grain
and vegetables for planting, with farm
ing utensils and one horse and COW to
each man. The colonies are to consist
of 1000 men in each district, divided
into companies of 100 men each, who
will choose their own officers, receive
arms and ammunition, transportation
and subsistence in time of war, and pay
for three years. At the end of this time
a perfect title shall be given to all real
and personal property issued to each
settler. The bill is now in the hands of
Secretary Schurz for examination, and
will be brought up in Congress at the
next session.

BATTLE OF THE LON.
Furious and Invincible valor Of the Ea-
natic. Moha mmedans.
fWar Tor Naw York Herald


Iwar Cor. New York Herald.l
Your correspondent has just Witnessed
a victorious engagement for the Turkish
arms from the heights opposite Popkoi,
on the river LON. The battle COM
menced in the morning with q forward
movement of the Turkish divisions OF
Mediid Pasha, who commanded the
Turkish right, and Fuad Pasha and
Sabid Pasha, whose divisions formed the
center and left. The advance by the
forces under Medjid was made in gallant
style, the men taking open order and
diminishing as they neared the Russian
position. The advance was well covered
by the guns of the Turks, who took ad-
vantage of the frequent elevations OF the
country to rush their batteries forward
to points where they could not only ma
terially help the infantry but make hot
work for the Russian batteries on the
heights beyond. On both sides the ar
tillery practice was excellent. Medjid
and his men pushed their way to the VII
lage of Karahassankoi, where the signal
to charge was given, and with rush they
were over the Russian intrenchments on
the hill. The slaughter was terrible on the
Turkish side during this part of the en-
gagement, but the men stood it nobly.
The Russians, who at first met the in
coming rush of the Turks with great
bravery, were soon forced to yield.
They were driven precipitately down the
heights commanding the valley of the
Lom with great loss. Meanwhile Sabid
Pasha attacked the Caschilsler, lofty
hill crowned by three-gun Russian
battery. 1t required very brilliant
dash to carry this difficult position, but
it was successfully accomplished, the
guns silenced and captured, and the
Russians killed or driven back in head
long haste. The attack, indeed, had
been successful at all points and the
troops shouted "Ailah 70 "Allah y
with fiery enthusiasm that told of their
elation. A general advance was now or
dered, and in short time the bridge
over the LON was reached, and the
Turks crossed unopLosed to the left
bank. The villages on that side which
were held by the Russians were soon
captured and were shortly after seen to
be in flames. The Russians now evacu-
ated Popkoi. Asmight be expected, this
victory has created the widest enthusiasm
throughout the whole army.
