NOTES.

-Garibaldi complains that Italy is not yet
entirely united, and says that the people OF
Trieste cannot remain much longer the sub
iects of foreign sovereign.
The Sultan of Turkey is said to show UNI
expected energy. Every day he attends the
councils Of his Ministry and busies himself
closely with military works and the docks.
About dozen distinguished Southerners,
including Gems Beauregard, Ewell, Long
street and Hampton, will probably be invited
by the Army and Navy Monument Commit
tee of Boston to be present at the dedication
ceremonies September II.
Burlington, Iowa, is trying to get rid ol
the tramp harvester nuisance by prosecuting
the steamboat officers who land them. 1t is
said that fine of $500 was imposed on a
steamboat company for putting tramps
ashore at that point.
The Spanish papers say that it has been SO
hot in Spain this summer that the birds have
refused to sing, and only took contracts for
flying short distances. In Seville the btu
minous pavements have been on steady
strike or voluntary liquidation, regardless OF
cost
Ahmed Mukhtar Pasha is idolized by his
troops, according to q correspondent OF the
London Standard, because he wears q sol
diers coat of the coarsest material and with.
out ornamentation of any sort, never eats
meat during the campaign and never touches
O. glass of wine or any other alcoholic drink
he even denies himself the luxury of smoking.
Our exports of cotton goods for the past
year show gratifying and remarkable gain.
hon n Of IpnCf fifty
per cent in colored goods and almost as much
in uncolored goods, the total values having
risen from $7,700,000 to. 100000, This
shows that we are now. moving for some OF
the foreign trade which rightfully belongs to
us.
Patterson of South Carolina has made a
shrewd move in selecting counsel for his
coming trial. He has engaged the services
OF the two most conspicuous sons of ''chiv-
airy in the State-Gen. M. G. Butler and Mr..
M. w. Gary. He says he has no lear OF the
result. His counsel will secure him local
sympathy, which he never could have got in
any other way.
The first section of the Nubian Railway
men are busily engaged on the second section
At Koye, higher up, a bridge is to be built
across the Nile This bridge has not been
pledged to the creditors of Egypt, but be-
longs to the government of Soudan, the sur
plus revenues of which are being applied to
It's construction.
--Reouf Pasha. who has taken command of
the Turkish army of the Balkans, was in
England with the late Sultan Aziz, and speaks
French tluently. He is very unlike the gen.
erality of Turks in his habits, being an en-
thusiastic sportsman, fond of walking all day
after Birds and being the husband of one wife
only, to whom he is said to be very faithful
If any Turk can save the nation by energy
and soldier-like qualities, Reouf is thought to
be the man to do it.
