American Fruit in Europe,

Europe is now taking a surprising
quantity Of American fruit. The pur-
chases have amounted to over two
million five hundred Thousand dollars
worth since last June, compared with
six hundred thousand dollars in the
same period the year before. Dried
apples figure largely in this movement.
This country has exported twelve mill
ion pounds of them since last June, as
compared with five hundred and twen-
ty two thousand TBS the previous year.
This new addition to the trade of the
United States is due to the inventor,
which has occupied itself of late with
improved methods for drying and pre-
serving and for transporting fruit. The
greatest progress has been made in the
way of dryers. Within a year some
notable inventions in this line have
been perfected, which are a great &C.
QUESTION to the resources of the country.
The fruit dryer bids fair hereafter to be
as much of a necessity to every farming
community as the cider-mill and the
cheese factory.

A Singular Will.

New York, July 16.-A year ago,
John d. Lewis, of the dry goods firm

recting the income of his estate, about
$3.50, 900, to be paid Miss Lizzie Barton
Taylor, until she married; if she had
children the estate was to go to them,
otherwise when she died she was to be
buried in the same grave as e~stator, and
the whole estate expended in decorat-
ing the grave. Henry Lewis aud
Mary Smith, full-blooded negroes, on
tested the will, and it was proven that
Lewis was their half-brother and the
son of a Virginia slave woman and a
Canadian. Judge Barrett to-day, in
his decision. swept away all the provi-
sions of the will except endowing Miss
Taylor. If, however, she marries, the
estate goes to Lewis and his sister,

Gov. Axtell in Hot Water.
Washington, July 16.-W. b. Mitch
ell and other parties interested in pro-
| curing the removal of Governor AXtell,
of New Mexico, are still prosecuting
their efforts vigorously, though appa-
rently without making much Roadway
| with the administration. Axtell
broadly denies all the charges, except
| that he wrote letters to the Salt Lake
| Herald over the signature 'El Obispa."
He asserts, however, that he wrote
them only for the entertainment of his
| friends and his own amusement, and
claims to be thoroughly in accord with
| all other federal officers in New Mexico.
Delegate Elkins writes to Secretary
Schurz that Axtell is an upright and
popular man, and the charges against
him are made by a few characterless
non-residents for selfish purposes. Gen.
Richard c. Mccormick cordially en-
dorses this letter, and says all of the
respectable people of the territory sup
port AXtell's administration.
AXtell's assailants reply that District
Attorney Catron and other New MeXi-
co officials, to whom he refers, are all
fellow members of the corrupt ring;
that the residents and people of New
Mexico and the Gentiles of Utah sup
port and will verify these charges.
Mitchell, in support of the principal
tangible charge, has tileda recent letter
from Frederick Lockley, editor Of the
Salt Lake Tribune, in which I.ockley,
besides asserting that the Mormon
Council paid AXtell's board and wills
ky bills, and that he is believed to have
conspired with the Mormon priesthood
l ALL 1.,Nr 80 Ea,1n cAfflare,
says also that he was stunned by the
Gentiles and was the chief figure in ev-
cry Mormon gathering and Sunday
school festival; that he was called a
bishop here, and his letters to the Her
aid were signed Sci Obispo;"that if he
is not a Mormon by baptism, he is GER
tainly one in his aflinities, but Brigham
Young has declared that he baptised
Axtell into the Mormon church, and
Judge BERGMAN can furnish a sworn
statement of Young's declaration.

of Gov. Stafford, Secretary Schurz is in

Washington, July 16.-The National
Republican recently announced that
Ben Wade had become reconciled to
the Presidents policy. This has called
forth a letter from the ex-senator to
the Republican, in which he says:
"While / am now as ever q Republican,
anxious for the success of that party,
believing it has done more to sustain
the rights of man and promote the
principles of just government, than any
political organization of which we have
any account, l cannot permit my senti-
ments to be ,misrepresented. Now, 1
should like to know who, or what your
reliable authority is for the above state
ment. l have authorized no n to
make such a statement. Since my let
ter to Mr.. Painter, l have written to
no one upon the Presidents policy and
have spoken to very few persons on the
subject, and then always in defence of
the sentiments of hat letter, which
few ~hereabouts oppose. L regret to
say that all that has since TRANSFERRED in
the South and in the North has but
confirmed me in the correctness of the
sentiments expressed in that letter. L
will add that L greatly fear that this
policy, under color of what is called
local self government, is but an igno-
minious surrender of the principles Of
nationality, for which Il armies
fought and for which thousands of
brave men died, and without which the
wal was a failure and boosted gov
eminent a myth"
