from those interested in the raising
Of cattle in Great Britain, and as
the prejudices of the consumer

Fly given way before the practical
and continued excellence Of the
supply sent over, resort is being had
to legal measures for the purpose
of hampering the import trade.
The plea of disease. concerning
which there is chronic scare, has
been made the pretext for restric-
tions which have seriously repres-
sed the development of cattle i'm
portation, and there is reason to
fear that still more harrassing and
vexatious provisions may be en-
bodied in bill now being prepar-
ed and which WILSON be introduc-
ed in Parliament. This bill has
been discussed at length during
the past winter and spring, and is
now in the hands of the Duke of
Richmond, who is urged to press
it by the cattle producing interests
Of England and Scotland. 4 de-
putation from the Foreign Cattle
Trade Association recently waited
upon the Duke to protest against
my further restrictions. They {
pointed out that under the limita- Ie
ions already imposed importations q
lad languished, the falling of
to twenty-five per cent. !
s compared with last years. The r
aost important point adduced as r
n argument against the proposed a
estrictions was that there had not q

Agriculture and stockraising have
engaged the attention Of labor, and

are dependent upon increased pop
nlation, capital released from the
fur trade seeks to supply this de
mand BY encouraging immigration.
Meanwhile, socialimprovement has
also paved the way for immigra-
tion and permanent prosperity.
Those who at first were careless of
their reputatations, and desirous
only of accumulating fortunes and
leaving the country, are now eager

Success in these respects is one Of

A THHEE-EYED Boy In OHIO
The Dayton JoWma! prints a letter
from New Bremen, Ohio. dated April
18th. which says: "Quite q wonder
has lately made its appearance
about eight miles north of New
Bremen, in the shape of fine boy
with but three eyes and but one
ear. The parents are young mar
RED couple who came here TO reside
from the eastern portion OF Anglai2e
county, about ten months ago, anc
have been married little more than
that period. The child is about two
weeks old. The parents were as
tonished to find on the right side OF
the face an eye and an ear in their
proper natural positions, and on the
left side of tho face another eye IN
its natural position, and about an
inch further round on the left side
of the head third eye, all perfect
in form, but no ear where the ear
ought to be, the place for the left
ear being perfectly smooth and solid
as any other part of the head. The
boy is healthy, sound and bright as
q boy baby can be. The eyes are
perfect in sight and action. When
the eye on the left side of the face
opens or shuts its twin does the
same, both seeming to be controlled
and operated by the one set Of
nerves."

STRANGE and anomalous as it may
seem-contrary to all previous finan-
cial history or philosophy-some of
the creditors Of the Government of
the United States are now preferring
the paper greenbacls to the solid
specie, and even in the proverbial
"hard money" region of the Pacific
coast greenbacks are to-day actually
at o premium. Ii this sort of thing
can be kept up-and there is q pos
sibility Of it if Congress will only
set its face rigidly against any and
all of the inhatiopist legislation of
the political "Greenbackers" not
only is specie resumption an &C.
complished fact already, but Uncle
Sans promises to pay will be worth
more than gold and silver. And yet
it must be confessed, there are so
many IFS and duts involved in this
great financial problem, that it
is not safe for any man to risk an
opinion as to the final come-out.
We can tell better after the minis
shall have reached their maximum
coinage of silver dollars and after
wo shall have had fair opportunity
of ascertaining the result of the
present experiment of the Treasury
Department in paying out silver

actual merits of the controversy on
their side, have nothing to fear. The

true that the object Of the Russian

| the Indians themselves can be relied
upon 70 tell tn truth, that Sitting
Bull and his braves are peacefully
inclined. A delegation consisting Of
Grow Shield add IA men, all chiefs
and head-soldisrs, were sent about
the lat Of April by Sitting Bull to
open the way for negotiations Tor Q
return Of the hoetiles from the Brit
ish possessions to United States terri
tory. The hslf-Dreed conveyed the
message to General Miles, by whom
it was forwarded East. General
Miles sent word back that If the hos
tiles desired to come in and lay aside
their warlike attitude, and cease
their depredations, that peace could
be made. This would terminate the
trouble between the whites and the
Indians. The hostiles would be
benefited by coming in and being
treated as tie friendly Indians had
been and were cared for. The Indi-
ans, if they came in, must give up
their guns and ponies used in war,
and they were assured they would
receive in exchange cattle and other
property, which in time Of peace
would be of far greater value to them.
If their hostility continued, other
military posts would be built, but
if they were peacable toward the
Government they would be provid-
ed for as other friendly Indians who
have remained quiet and friendly.
The Indians we're assured that the
whites didn't want the buffalo on the
northern range, but they were re-
minded The heavy game would not
last always, and that they should
cultivate the raising of domestic
stock on their place. The General
pointed ont the advantages which
would come to the Indians by follow
ing his advice.
General Sheridan has intelligence
that 100 Nez Perez Indians, who are
in the hostile camp with Sitting Bull,
want to return to United States Ter
ritory. Negotiations have been
opened with the Nez Perces. and,
upon General Sheridan's order, Gen.
eral Pope of the Department of the
Missouri, has sent three Indians of
Chief Joseph's band to visit their
lately hostile friends and ascertain
their temper, and if they will return
TO the United States under such con-
ditions as the War Department may
