Web. Wilder, of the st. Joe Herald
writing of our Forthcoming Agricul.
tural Report which embraces the Cen.
tennial Report, is moved to say of the
latter:
off Kansas should be blotted out of
existance tomorrow, this report alone
of her conquest at Philadelphia would
give her all Immortality of glory. The
State went into her national arena
while in her sixteenth year and bore
away the renowned and peaceful vic
tory. There were States with two
centuries and half of history. and
the Union itself was a hundred wears
old, but they all united in placing the
crown upon imperial Kansas, the
sweet sixteen of the river, the prairie,
and the mountain. And now the girl
tells her story of a summer by the sea
shore.
The report contains seventy-cight
engravings, each worthy of Scribner's
Monthly. 1t is the only history of the
Centennial Exhibition yet published,
and is history of not only what Kan
sas did there, but what was done by
every other state, by the general gov
eminent and by foreign nations
There are fine illustrations of all the
state exhibition building, and picture
with brief record, of the London
Exhibition of 1851, the Dublin lnterna
tional of 1858, the Paris Exposition of
1867, and the Vienna Exposition OF
1873. Many a squatter lin his dug
will now read his triumphs over mod
ern civilization for the first time, and
while he reads it on the Kansas front
Ter, the same volume will be lovingly
perused by Don Pedro, in Brazil, by
John Welsh in London. by the Ameri-
can people, and by the civilized world.
The Kansas book circumnavigates the
globe. and years hence the traveller
will speak with wonder of finding it
in Picking, at Calcutta, and on the
banks of the Euphrates.

Europe.

Ii is positively asserted that Russia
has made substantial concessions, and
that the signing of the peace negotia-
lions is near at hand. Then follows
the announcement that the Gear has
CALLED out the reserves, and that the
troops will enter Cons;antinople, peace
or no peace. There is also great dis
trust as 10 Russia's designs on the Bos-
phorous. Preparations are now in
progress to raise ten thousand men in
Canada for the English army. Re
ports are very conflicting.

1t is an undeniable fact that Hon.

The Italian Government has warned
the Vatican authorities, through the
Inspector OF Police, that they could
take no measures to prevent possible
disturbance at the Pope's coronation
as the Pope did not recognize the
Government of Italy. The Vatican is
indignant, and it has been decided
that the coronation shall be strictly
private. An understanding between
the Papacy and Italy is as far off as

in maintaining prices in the West is the low

OF the country roads prevents any thing like a
liberal movement, so that stocks are rapidly
decreasing at all grain centers, and are lighter
at this season than they have been for years.
While receipts have been unusually light, ex-
port cearances have increased and unless a
more liberal movement from the country sets
