of troops from New Orleans will GER

very few days, that the Senate is now

for Louisiana, tomorrow, to make an.
other compromise.
Senator Morton will remain in
Washington week longer before de-
parting for Oregon to investigate the

report.
The Toronto Court of Appeals de-
cided that Mclean. Dun 4 Co., mer-
chantile agents, cannot be held liable
for losses incurred through errors in
their reports.
1t Is believed that the agreement
between England and Russia relative
to the protocol will render the continue
ton of negotiations between Turkey
and Montenegro possible.
The Illinois Central Railroad Com
pany to-day bought the Jackson &
Great Northern railroad, at New
Orleans. for $1.O5O. 900 and assuming
all mortgages and indebtedness.
Senator Mitchell succeeded in get
ting his resolution through authorizing
the committee about to investigate the
case of Senator Grover to sit during
recess. The committee will consist of
the following members: Morton, Wad.
leigh and salisbury.
The Daily News dispatch from Con-
stantinople favors the idea that an under
standing between England and Russia
will be followed by pacific arrange
ment between Montenegro and Turkey.

The Princess of Prussia, Victoria =

own children; but she won it. and won
the hearts of all Prussian parents in
doing it,
Henry ", of France, o monarch
than whom none other was ever more
generally beloved by his people. was
pasSionately fond of children. BY his
second wife. Marie of Tuscany, he had
five children, who were reared under
his own immediate supervision.
One day Henry was i'll one of his pri-
vate apartments, to which he had sd-
mitted the little ones. He was down
upon the carpet, on his hands and
knees. with tine Dauphin upon his back.
and two girls and boy pulling ut the
skirts of his dressing robe, when for

saw the visitor standing within the
apartment, evidently deeply interested

"Ah, Mr.. Ambassador" cried the
king. without offering to arise. "have
you children of your own ?"
Yes, sire,-six of them"
"Good In that case l shall bear
the Dauphin to his seat"
The ambassador afterward declared
that the scene he had witnessed com.
pletely broke the ice of reserve. gave
him confidence in the kings goodness
of heart, opening the way to speedy
and happy settlement of all questions
in debate

most prominent Liverpool houses was in the
United States last year. studying the advan-
taces for trade likely to be Afforded by the Jetty
improvements at the mouth of the Mississippi.
and representatives of leading firms in London
and Bristol were specially commissioned dur
ing the past summer to visit this country sur
yey the ground. interview our merchants and
arrange for direct export trade from this city
via New Orleans. The orders for corn
mission houses in this city prove, that
the benefits likely to result to producers
and shippers from the recent improvement in
our water transportation system are not pros.
