bsromcters which have proved trust
worthy, even when the artificial instru-
ments have failed. One of these is cat
fish which is kept in q water trough. No
matter how clear the weather may he and
before the karometers have indicated a
change, this fsh always, before storm,
swims about with his head below the
water and his tail above until rain begins
to fall, wnen he goes out Of sight until
the weather changes. The other barome-
ter consists of two frogs under the foo,
of the police office, which have never yet
been seen by any of the officers, but
which presage storm several hours in
advance of the barometrical indications
by a series Of peculiarly discordant
croaks. M matter how clear and bright
the night the police officers prepare for a
storm when the warning comes.

ReAOlWll0ns of Re- xret.

A special from Washington says sever
al Senators have OF late discussed among
themselves the propriety Of preparing a joint
resolution which should express deep regrets
on the part of the people Of the United States
at the prospect Of serious misunderstanding
and interruption Of peaceful relations between
the people OF Great Britain and Russia, and
requesting the President to use means, as far
he rs can consistently with his constitutional
duty, to aid in restoring the relations of amity
and confidence between the two governments
and people, to one of whom We are bound by
common ancestry and language and similar
institutions, while with the other we have ties
OF IN ancient and unbroken friendship. 1t is
proposed to discuss with Secretary Eyarts the
propriety or usefulness Of such a resolution
before It is draWu I'D.

The Mark Lane Express says reports
concerning the wheat plant from all parts OF
the kingdom continue satisfactory. The
country trade is steady but not active. The
provincial markets are scantily supplied with

into London have been liberal. The pressure
to sell American wheat brought about slight
reduction In the value of this class of grain.
Russia Is anxious to dispose of her produce,
and with her and America competing it is diff
ncult to see whence the trade is to derive
strength to enable prices to hold up. India
may bc disregarded for a time, ~ she cannot
ship much wheat until the new crop is gath

Accounts from the Texas border show
that recently there has been but few if any in
curslons from the Mexican side. Members of
Congress who have the subject of our relations
with Mexico under consideration, say the de-
lay Of our government in recognizing that of
Mexico, has produced an improved condition
Of affairs on the border, but that government
has not yet done what is required by our own
as prerequisite to recognition. One OF the
most serious causes of complaint is that our
citizens are not protected from the forced
loan. while British and French subjects resid-
ing IN Mexico are, 1t Is said, not subjected to
such Illegal transactions.
