However that may be, we suppose no.

great. 1t impels to no good deed or

The suspicion that Russia is secretly
engaged IN purchasing swift steamers in
the United States for the purpose of
preying on English commerce occasions
considerable comment as to the duty of
the United States in the premises. The
statute Law of the United States in the
matter Of foreign nations fitting out YES
sells for hostile purposes, is mneh more
stringent than the international law On
the sams subject. International law
does not prevent the fitting out OF cruis-
ers III any foreign port in anticipation of
VA; but the statutes OF this country
make no distinction between Il state Of
war or Of peace when the intention is
clear. The arrival of large Russian
steamer IN some uuimporsant harbor on
the coast of Maine has increased tie
suspicion that Russia is fitting out pri-
rateers. Ii is coniectured that the steam
er has IN board number OF Russian
'alioTs who will be sent to San Francisco

o. manning the vessels purchased in that
Fort. Tue presen. absence of Secre.sfy

The eminently proper resolution of
Stanley Mathews, directing the Secreta-
ry of War to report to the senate the
amount of money which has already been
expended upon the improvement of the
Fox and Wisconsin Rivers, and the prob
able amount required to complete the
work, has aroused The ire of those papers

for appropriations. What possible valid
objection can be urged against this res
olution. If the appropriations already
granted have been iudiciously expended
and if the results Justify the expenditure.
how can the information which this reso-
luton 10 designed to secure. initiate
against this great national enterprise?"
How is it that the demand for light can
be construed as a hostile demonstration
This morbid sensitiveness to inquiry
will naturally lead to suspicion that there
is something which breads disclosure.
Ii tots great national work is desirable
and feasible, report from the depart
ment having charge of the improvement,
would rather enhance than defeat the
prospects OF its accomplishment. WHY
then are advocates of the Improvement
so testy when the character of the work
and It's cost are sought to be ascertained,
if it be great national work the nation
81 Legislature should be fully enlightened
on the subject. The possible advantages
should compensate for the we'll assured
cost before the work is prosecuted far

reprehensible, III seeking to know wheth

CHICAGO, May 1.--Gen. Sheridan this
afternoon received report from Gen.
Miles, dated at the headquarters of the
division of the Yellowstone, Fort Keogh,
Montana, informing him that Sitting
Bull and IA, men, all old warriors and
chiefs, had sent a nalf breed to Gen.
Miles inquiring what kind of peace the
United States would make with them,
and saying that the Great Father was of
course too rich to expect the Indians to
give up their poor little ponies and their
old guns. Gen. MieI i'll reply, informed
Sitting Bull that if he desired TO stop
hostilities peace could be made which
would end all trouble between the whites
and the Indians. When the Indians give
up their ponies and guns they will re-
ceive cattle and other property of greater
value. When peace is made the govern
ment will provide for them as it does for
all friendly Indians.
1t is thought that the pending negota-
tons will result in establishing more
| friendly relations between the different
tribes and perhaps lasting peace with the
United States government.

THE recent remarkable explosion by
which the Touring mills of MINNEAPOLIS
We're destroyed has given rise to theories
as TO the cause. 1t seems that this is by
no means solitary instance of loss of
life and destruction of propertN by the
explosion of gases generated by flour.
1t is a strange fact that the displacement
of chemical atoms will change life sup
porting substance into a terrible agent
of destruction. The proximate elements
of flour are combustible and a further
decomposition will produce gas highly
explosive. But some attribute the gem
Grafton of the gas to the unground wheat,
as the explosion seemed to act with
greater force where that was in store.
Probably this may be accounted for by
the fact that wheat has, like carbon, a
capacity for absorbing gases, and that
the gas WAS consequently densest where
the wheat was stored. Scientists vii,
undoubtedly investigate this matter and
arrive at satisfactory conclusion and
thus enable people to provide some
means of preventing those terrible ex-
plosions

In transplanting. remember: Dig wide
hole; cut off all broken or marred roots,
spread out the roots in natural position,
set the tree little above its previous
depth, fill in with good soil (no manure),
work it between the roots with the hand,
do not pull the tree mp and down, and
press the earth firmly down, and If there
is likelihood of dry weather spread a
mulch over the surface. Bear in mind
that plants are injured if their roots are
exposed to the light and wind for even a
few minutes.

THE EXODUS.

The emigration of the negroes OF the
south brings TO mind the flight Of Il
children OF Israel from the bondage Of
Egypt. The dignity Of biblical history
invests the trials and prosecutions of the
people whom God sanctifed by his love
with n reyerential interest Which the suf-
ferinps of the dark skinned children Of
Africa can not evoke. Their dark night
% bondage was not illumined by promises
Of divine interposition. Their hopes
could picture no bright dawn OF right
eolsuess which would dispel tie somber
shadows in which their lives were spent.
The iron OF slavery sunk deep into their
souls and destroyed their manhood;
their cry OF distress daily assembled to the
Most High, but no Moses bearing with
him the power of Omnipotenee to be en-
ployed il their service was vouchsafed
TO their prayers. And now when passing
from the prison house, the breeze which
is laden with their signs does not watt
them to promised land flowing with
milk aud honey, but to the inhospltablc
shores Of their own barbarous Africa.
The waters of Marah are bitter to their
taste but no rock of Horeb gushes forth
its miraculous water to allay their thirst.
The pillar Of fire and the pillar of cloud
do not guide them through the trackless
ocean and the thunders on Mount Sinai
bring them no divine message. They
take with them the sad memories of OPP
preston and the poor boon of personal
liberty. They had servitudo in civiliza-
ton, they will have freedom in barbarism.
What is there in that civilization which
50 long held their race III slavery which
can commend it to them? The lesson
which have sunk deepest into their minds
is,that intelligence may justly take every
advantage Of ignorance. They return to
the land of their ancestors from which
the ayarice of the Caucasian tore them
l,ng years ago. They can expect no
kindly greeting. They will be strangers
in the land to which their hopes have led
them.
This flight to, what is to them, an un
known land excites melancholy interest.
1t is an acknowledgement CT inferiority
on the part of the poor black, whose in.
PRODUCTION to civilization was fraught
with injury to him. He leaves land
which under happier circumstances as.
ISOLATION would have endeare6. The
Azor is the Mayfower of the blacks, but
II bears men whose spirit has been
crushed by debasing servitude, not men
whose manhood has been strengthened
by persecution. The Puritans brought
with them feelings of superiority, the
negro leaves from a consciousness of in.
feriority.
