According TO the Austrian statistical
department, the European countries
possessed together in 1876 some 1881
postoffices, and handled 2,922, 600, 600
Of letters and postal cards, and 49,
000,0 900 Of newspapers and samples.
Adding to the letters the American
correspondence in the same year, 7u5,-
000,0u0 British India, 104 900, 600;
Australia, Al .008. 600; Canada, 24,000.-
90; Brazil, 100000, and other coun-
tries it will he found that some $780,
000,000 OF letters handled i'm non-Eu-
ropean countries may safely be added
10 the 2.922, 600, 600 mentioned above,
constituting a total OF something like
3, 900, 900 600 Of letters which the post
Offices Of the world have distributed
in single year, equal tie L. 500, 900
daily, or Az 600 hourly, night aud day.
Pro rata OF the population the number
of letters handled in Europe has been
as follows: England. 35 Switzerland.

burg, IL Belgium. Il; Denmark, Il;
Austria, IL; France, I'D: Norway, 6;
Sweden, 6; Spain, 5; italy, 5; Hun
gary, 3; Greece, ,; Russia, /. Roumania
|; and Turkey 4. European average.
10 letters year. No statistics were re-
ceived from Portugal and Servia. From
this it viii be seen that the great in
dustrial nations stand at the head OF
the list, while the more purely agri-
cultural ones are below the average.
The introduction of postal cards has
undoubtedly aided greatly toward
stimulating correspondence The ac-
cession OF France TO the postal union
last year Will form another element of
Importance. The high internal post
age still in force III France is no doubt
the principal cause why we are tagging
behind, notwithstanding our resources
and education.

II was melancholy funeral, despite
the circumstances-tha of Michael
0Louehlin at Frcnch's Prairie, Oregon.
The deceased had quarreled with his
wife, had been divorced, and in his
dying moments, it was stated, had re-
auested that the coffin be not opened,
as he did not want his wife to take a
last look at him The request was com>
piled with. and the funeral services
were held in a church. A few days
after the funeral the wife asked Mr..
Gregory 10 wind up the business Of the
deceased. Mr.. Gregory began 70 do 50.

ception.

Prisoners for New Caledonia.

AFrench convict ship, the Nsvari-
no, was announced to sail on October
Sd, for New Caledonia, with four humid
red prisoners on board. So fatal are
the conditions of such a voyage that a
careful inspection IL made of the pris-
oners before their departure, lest any
among them should be Of weakly
constitution, as In that case the result
Of the transit would be certain death.
The cvDvicts are kept between decks
in cages, each Of which contains about
twenty prisoners. Their limbs ale free,
at any rate, at starting; but, as they
are liable to be ironed for any act OF
insubordinatioD, 1t Is probable that
this infliction Is sometimes added to
their sufferings. Each convict Is al.
lowed one hours exercise on deck.

Kansas City Times: In the last
three months Mr.. Hayes has been
gaining rapidly In public esteem, but
one step backward will place him on a
lower round of the ladder than on the
4th of last March, when he was sworn
into an office that had been procured
for him by, perjury and fraud. Mr.
Hayes must know that he has lost the
confidence of the leaders OF his own
party, and that he can not regain Ii by
doing their will, but can merely and
solely by change lose the respect of
those who are disposed to support him
for the course he has pursued since his
induction into office.

Ia Another lee Age Approaching ?

1t wonld seem that not only is the
climate OF Iceland growing so cold
that grain cannot ripen there, but
that of Scandinavia and western Eu-
rope ia becoming more severe. This
is due, 1t is supposed, to the steady
descent OF the Ice OF the far north
upon the shores of Iceland. 1t has
been ascertained that the temperature
Of Greenland was once much more
mild than at present. Plants have
be Ell discovered in fossil state there
which cannot now present sign Of

been found much further south than

TRADE REVIEW.

The Cotton Trade In Europe the Past
Year Is Summed UP in the Word Un-
satisfactory - Reviving Activity is
the Promise Of the Current Year.
LONDON, November 1.-The Times,
In its city article, summing the am
nual review OF the cotton trade, just
issued by Ellison n Co., of Liverpool,
says: at Is full of evidence that the
trade has been dull and dragging, and
the Immediate prospect IL far from be-
ing bright. During the first three or
four months Of last season there were
some signs OF reviving activity, but
these were all swept away by the out
break of the war in the east. Produc-
ton has therefore kept throughout
ahead of consumption and the result
has been that after enduring much
loss through selling at unremunerative
prices, manufacturers were driven TO
work on short time during the third
quarter of this year. Latterly, through
the reduction OF stocks which this has
induced, and because of the strike at
Bolton, the trade has been placed on a
little better footing, and full time has,
Ia many instances, been resumed, but
business Ia still far from being satisfac-
tory. The report furnishes abundant
evidence that the state of the trade is
the same almost everywhere. Ellison
n Co. have sent queries to all seats of
the cotton trade in Europe and almost
without exception the replies may be
summed up in the word "unsatlsfac-
tory" Singular to say, Russia appears
to offer an exception, the trade having
been good there, especially for yarns,
but also for cotton goods, home pro.
ducers having been assisted by the
fall in exchange, which has prevented
importation, as well as by the enor
nous duties. The trade Of Norway
and Sweden appears also to have been
fair. The political conflict in France
has had a most injurious effect both on
the French trade and on that of its
near neighbors.

Tne NV Lance Of the Cossack.

The new lance recently adopted In
the Austrian service, after a long series
of experiments with weapons OF the
Cossack and Prussian patterns, IL nine
feet one inch in length. The point Is
made of Bessamer steel, It's length
being slightly over seven inches, and
the butt IL shod with the same metal.
Two long bands of iron attach the
head TO the staff, and a leather strap,
for the arm Of the man carrying II to
pass through, Is fixed to the latter at
about four feet from its lower extrem-
ity. The total weight OF the weapon
Is four pounds. Before the end OF the
year all the lancer regiments in the
Austrian army are to be armed with
the new weapon.

The Star says: "rhe banking and
currency committee this morning did
not agree upon the silver bill as was
expected. There was 80 much wrang-
ling in committee over the repeal of
the resumption bill that the entire
two hours were consumed in discussion
of that subject. Some OF the western
members who have been anxious for
the repeal, have discovered that the
Ewing repeal bill absolutely abollsbes
free. banking. This is really the pur-
pose of Ewing, who wishes to substi-
tute greenbacks for national bank
notes, but most of the western republi.
can inflationists are friends OF the ma.
tional banking system. 1t seems
possible, therefore, at the very out
set, that the inflationists are liable to
be split into separate factions upon
this issue.
