An exchange says that new
way of fastening on ladies' hats
is to bore the tops Of their ears,
put in gold hoops and have the
hat strings tied through them.
Thus, step by step, we tread the

He had his Wife arrested for

Ons-pf the A..
between England anu
the rapid transfer of the CAL.

between EhGianO hnu
the rapid transfer of the cai..
to neutral bottoms, substantially To
American ships. The next most i'm
porsant consequence would be distur-
bance in tas trade for breadstuffs and
other supplies Of food. 1t is in this re-
spect that California has An important
stake in the threatened conflict. En-
gland has some 5000, 900 tons Of ship
ping. of which about 1000 GOO tons are
employed in the home or coastlng trade,
about 500. 600 tons in the rartly home
and partly foreign trade. and about Is
500. 600 tons in the foreign trade. This
important class of her merchant marine
consists Of $500 sailing ships of 8, ,0o0,-
OOO tons. and with 90, eco men as crews,
and 1.5O0 steamers Of 1,500 900 tons
and GO, 900 men. The transfer of this
tonnage to the American flag, or. what
is the same thing, its destruction by
Russian and German cruisers and priva-
teers, would furnish employment TO
nearly 5000, 100000 Of American capi-
tai. and 10000 American seamen.
Without going into tho details of the ex-
pert trade in produce, it is sufficient to
say that OF our entire wheat crop of
some 800, 100000 bushels, We export
about cne-third, or 100, 000 900 bushels,
mainly to Great Britain; and that of this
quantity about one-fourth is shipped
from California. This year the exports
from the Pacific coast will be greater
than ever before. We shall have crop
Of 100000 COO bushels. and 35,O0O,0O0
bushels of this to spare. At the preseIt
time the imports into Great Britain are
unusually active. 67. 500 900 bushels Of
wheat and $3.50 900 quintalls of -four
having been imported from September
l, 1877. to March 81, 1878, period of
seven months.
A century ago England. except in
years OF unusually bad harvests, rro>.
duced all the breadsluffs she consumed.
Twenty-Five years sgo, at tie time CT
the Crimean war, she produced three-
fourths of all she needed. At the present
time end in the best of years, she pro-
duces less than one half. In a similar
way aud 10 almost similar extent. ste
has learned to depend on foreign CONS
mesce for nearly every other important
article of substance for meat, butter,
cheese, poultry and eggs. As for tea
coffee and sugar they are imported to.
gether. All these industries would
therefore be disturbed by war. They
would be depressed in Europe and
greatly stimulated in America. rs. F.

day svssing. The Indians uadsr Capt.
Boise Jim. were ahead of'the mwand. .
with the purpose. it vas thought. sfso-
sifying the Indians on The prairie Of the
approach Of the truops. Everywhere
along the stage road the Indians were
seen to leave suddenly. and along the
trails they travelled. they had in ihtir
haste scattered buffalo robes and vari>
ous other articles. Col. Bernard was
advised not to SO into Camas Prairie
with his present force. as the Indians
are reported to be in strong force and
determined to fight. 1t is evident tha.
the force under Major Collins. (about
20 men), is too siaall to offer battle to
the Indians. All that can be done will
be to watch the Indians until reinforce
ments can come forward. Twenty
armed men from Rocky Bar. with Sher-
if Campbell, joined Col. Bernard Satur-
day morning, and went with him to
Csmas Prairie.
The distance from Boise City by trail
10 Big Camas Prairie 10 IS miles; by The
wagon road it is IS miles. The point
in the lava beds occupied by the In
dians is at the head Of Clover creek.
and about Is miles from King bill sta>
ton on the overland road. These lava
beds are parallel with Camas Prairie and
are estimated to be full so to 60 miles in
length. It is here the Indians sre en- :
camped, with ample rosm for natural
defences. plenty of wood. water and
Grass, and where they will be able to
stay all summer. unless . large force il
brought against them. From their
natural fortresses they can sally out
upon the settlements and make the
roads impossible and the country unin>
habitable.
The pretended grievance of the In
dians is that the Big Camas Prairie,
which they have visited every summer
from time immemorial. is being occupi-
ed by whites With their herds of horses,
cattle and hogs. which tramrls and root
out the camas, destroying one Of their
main resources Of food; but the fact 10
they have been preparing to 60 on the
war path since last summer, and have
chosen this locality for the base of their
operations.
There is Q rumor current among the
sBannocks TO the effect that Chief Joseph
is living in = splendid furnished NAM
sion with servants. horses, fine clothes
and every luxury that heart can wish.
This good fortune they think has come
to Joseph as reward for his bravery
in last summers campaign. and they
are ambitious of initiating his example
with hopes Of like reward.

starting out upon a journey, had
his pocket full of golden cein
which, one by one, had slipped
though ssme unmended hole or

the end Of bis trip he had not
one left, but lay down upon his
bed a beggar. How, strictly we
would look to our own pockets
after hearing the tale, and make
very sure that what coin we
have should be well spent, or
boarded carefully, and not scat

sxe start upon our lives, each

a laeats of which. we keep lit
tie account. Rapidly they slip
away through the rents Of sloth
or ignorance. Many one, rich
in all the golden moments of
seventy years, lies down at last
scarcely able to remember how
he has frittered and scattered
them, knowing only that he has
no more-that all are gone, and
that he cannot say that he has
purchased anything of use to
himself or another with what he
might have bought so much.
Three Irishmen, who had dug

quite at a loss to know how to

ats aisy enough. Sure, there's
two for you two, and two for

their portion with a greatly in
creased respect for the advan-
tages which learning gives to
man.

after which the following thoughts
were presented and enforced: The

the word is read without being re-
ceivsd for want Of attention; that
scriptars prophecies and fulfills
even when scripture precepts are
broken; that resurrection succeeds

CLERICAL COUNCILS.
A Bishop Who is Affected With the Com
munistic Scare

PHILADELPHIA, May 8.-The forty-fourth an
nual convention of the Protestant Episcopal
diocese of Pennsylvania begun its session yes
terday, with large delegation of clerical and
lay delegates. The principal business was the
reading of the Episcopal address by Bishop
Stevens, and nominations for the standing COM
mittees. The Bishop stated that he would sail
for England on the 10Th inst. to attend the
Pan-Angican council, July I'd. His address
strongly denounces the threatened communistic
movement in this country, expresses alarm at
the efforts of communistic bodies to bring
about conflict between labor and capital
which can only result in devastation, and ex-
horts the clergy to study this question of social
science and to strive to create more healthful
sentiment.
NEWARK, May 8.-The annual convention of
the Reformed Episcopal church began to-day
in Emmanuel church, Newark, N. j., with a
fair attendance of delegates. The morning
was consumed by religious services.
The Roman Catholic synod of the diocese of
Newark, comprising all New jersey, met in st.
Patrick's cathedral to-day. The morning was
consumed with the pontifcal mass and othe,
services. Business began this afternoon with
closed doors. Priests from every parish il
New Jersey are present-the object being tc
revise the laws and discipline of the diocese
