He has received invitations enough to
satisfy the most ardent worshiper of
St. Grouse, but believe his great de-
sire liz to be at liberty to ramble about
wheresoever the mood incIines him, to
spend as many hours a day in the fresh
air as possible. and to avoid the pleas

penalties of late hours and too many
dinners. He has been prevailed upon,
however, to go 10 two or three friendly
entertainments during the past week.
where I have had the opportunity OF
meeting him, and on Thursday I had a
long talk with him on all sorts Of sub
jects, and found him as Keen witted and
vigorous in thought and expression as
ever. On Wednesday he went out to
Rochampton to dine, at the invitation
of the Hon. Ronald Melville, and there
met q very pleasant gathering of Eng
lish gentlemen, among whom were Lord
Hoaghton, Lord Stanhope, Lord VIM.
Hay, Col. Seymour, and a half dozen
others. [ believe the Governor was
very much struck with the fine gardens
of this house (the Earl of Leven's), in
which are some magnificent cedar trees.
Yesterday he was taken to the House Of
Lords by Lord Houghton.

THE EXTRA SESSION.
ICbicago Times. !

WASHINGTON. Aug. 25.-Something has
been said within the last day or 80 about
the Administration believing that the
extra session Of Congress will not extend
over ten days, and that Congress will
adjourn after it has passed the army ap-
preparation bill. The Administration
has more of hope than q belief on the
subject. Secretary Eyarts has expressed
an opinion that Congress could complete
it's work so as not TO be detained here
longer than that time, but thus far what
members have already made arrange
ments to come on are engaging quarters
for the entire season, plainly indicating
that the general belief among mem bers
is that the extra session will continue
up to or nearly to the beginning Of the
regular session. If the numerous topics
of investigation are broached, there is
no doubt that the extra session will be
prolonged. The absence Of any absorb
ing political campaign will, however,
have tendency to blunt the ardor OF
Investigations in general. There is much
bitter opposition to Hayes, but mainly
within his own party. No one has yet
appeared anxious to appear as the leader
Of this opposition. The meeting Of Con-
gress will probably develop all these, 80
that it's strength can then be accurately
determined.

THE EMP ERROR OF RUSSIA.

In Russia nobody has the right
to approach the Emperor in the
street, and much less to sneak II,

Intruder subjects himself TO instant inn

the Emperor Nicholas broke that law
himself. He met one day in the streets

Emperor included, were present. But

grow restless and everybody was watch

foot lights.
Ladies' and gentlemen said he, "T

THE COMMANDMENT OF KARs.

Correspondence London Telegraph
For three weeks previous to their de-
parture the Russians testified their ar
dor by launching each day about 1000
balls upon the happy town OF Kars but
with the exception of missiles dis.
charged from the fifteen centimetre
Krupps, they appear not to have done q
great deal of damage, owing, 1t is said.
to the rapidity with which the Turkish
gunners interrupted the Russian aim.
A tempest of shot and shell few com
pletely over the citadel into the ceme-
terry at the bac K, and although heaps of
dust thrown up into the ar, and loud
explosions constantly disturbed the
ground at the foot Of the hill crowned
by the keep" very little damage was
done to the latter place. Notwithstand-
ing the length OF the seige, together
with tho violence Of the cannonade, the
loss In soldiers as well as in civilians,
counting both killed and wounded, only
amounted to 1870, among whom were q
few women, and 1t is likely that IL the
Russians had continued the seige for
twenty days more q want of ammuni-
tion would have sileneed the Krupp
guns.

THE COREAN FAMINE.

A Japanese paper, the Hoclne Tc1eia-
bun, gives distressing account of the
misery at present prevailing in Corea.
The peopleare dying by thousands from
want of food. When vessel enters the
port laden with rice, corn, or provisions
of any kind, it is at once surrounded by
bands Of hungry natives, who endeavor
to seize its contents, and blood is fre-
o.uently shed in keeping them off. Food
is, it is true. distributed by the govern
ment to the poor every ten days. On the
10th, 20th and 30th Of each month; but
the amount at the disposal of the au-
thorities is utterly insufficient to feed
the multitude of supplicants. The hor-
rors Of disease and pestilence have also
been added to those of famine, and the
bodies of the dead lie in the streets for
days. In the northern provinces of
China, also, famine is reported to have
set in; but there the government has
greater resources to assist the sufferers.
