SEVERAL features in the report of the
Bureau of Statistics of imports and exports
of the United States for the month of April
and for the ten months of the present fiscal
year which ended April 80, are worthy of
special attention. 1t is noticeable that
the decline in impoltations has apparently
been arrested. The value of the merchan-
disc imported in April, 1877, was $42,662,-
696, against $36,156,526 in April, 1876 and
during the five months ending April 80, 1877,
there was gain of SO, ,476, POI in the value of
the merchandise imported, over the value of
the imports of the corresponding period of
the previous fiscal year. This change pre-
vents the serious diminution in the revenues
from customs which was threatened at one
time, and affords incidental evidence of an
increasing consumption Of American manu-
factures, as we'll as Of foreign goods. The
export of domestic produce during the five
months ending April 30, 1877, also increased
to the extent Of 500, 743, ,s72 over the exports
of the previous year, and hopeful augury
may be drawn from the fact that the trade
movement in both directions was enlarged.
The excess of exports over imports during
the ten months ending April 80 was $751;
O52, ,723. Ifa similar relation is continued
until the end of the fiscal year, June 80, the
balance oftrade in favor of this country will
reach the unprecedented sum of $1S4,863-

a Chester County farmer has erected two

The currant crop promises to be large this

A student of the Russian language has dis
covered that while you cannot hardly ever
understand the words Russian speaks-they
are so much alike-you can always gain an in
telligent icea of what they are talking about
by watching the motions of their eyes and the
gestures of their hands. We suppose when
they slyly wink with one eye, look wise with
the other, and put one finger up to their nose,
the Russian druggist is to understand that
they want a little good brandy in that soda
water.

THE Mexican row between Lerdo abroad
and Diaz at home has ripened from wordy
blossoms into very fair crop of throat cut
ting. The recent capture of Acapulco by the
Lerdo Greasers is an event of considerable
moment, since Acapulco, though of only
1000 inhabitants, is the most important
Mexican port on the Pacific coast, and its
capture will give the Lerdists base of opera
tions not to be despised. Daz will hardly
find the Presidential chair of Mexico comfort

THE new manner of dealing with the press
as devised by the new Ministry in Paris, is
far from original. The Prosecuting Attor-
neys throughout France have been officially
advised that the laws which protect morality,
religion, property and the essential founda-
tions OF civilized society are daily the objects
of attack to press "whose insulting coarse
ness exceeds all bounds" This press, they
are further advised, must be recalled "by
firm measures" to self-respect-that is, by
prosecutions-particularly against all who
circulate false news, and all who say there is
party or sect in France criminal enough to
desire war. To crown all, government
order expressly forbids the admission of ony
political journals into barracks.

If the London Mayfair is to be believed,
Austria's participation in the present con-
fict is but a question of time. She has long
foreseen the probability of being drawn into
the vortex, and has made all preparations for
the event. She has even ordered to be struck
gold and silver medals "for valor," which are
to be distributed among the soldiers at the
end of the campaign. The number of medals
to be apportioned to each regiment is al
ready fixed. Austria, moreover, some time
ago entered into contracts for preserved meat.
One syndicate of purveyors has contracted
for 500, 900 rations of such food to be in read
iness whenever wanted. Thus, whatever
denials may be given regarding Austrian mo-
bilizaton, it is an indubitable fact that
everything is prepared, and that there is
nothing wanting but the Imperial order to
mobilize portion, or, if need be, all the
forces of the Empire. \

THE Exposition opened last month at Sid
ney, Australia, promises to be of far more
benefit to this country than is generally sup
posed. The commerce of Australia with the
United States has in the last few years
grown from nothing to respectable dimen-
sions, and gives indications of attaining
gigantic proportions if the proper means be
taken for its development. Australia is
naturally inclined, OF course, to purchase as
much as possible from Great Britain, but,
year by year, her people are becoming more
liberal, and finding that we can supply them
with many articles cheaper than they can be
procured from England, they are turning to
us. A large display Of choice American
manufactures was sent by enterprising firms
to Sidney, and it is believed that the interest
Australians manifested in our Centennial
will be the means of cherishing trade as
yet but in its infancy.
