que Ia situation s'y est amelioree.
Les Zulus sont evidemment bien

meme dit qu'ils avaient a leur tete
|des officers americans, la nou-
velle etc contredite. Ioujours
est-il qu'une fois de plus lis ont su
Sc reunir en- IN yeritable corps
d'armee. lis ont attaque le l3
fGyrier, lie colonel Pearson qui.

fait essuyer de grandes pertes. II
les a poursuiyi jusqu'a Entamedi,
ou il est entire ct quill a brdle.
II y a quatre a cinq jours, on
craignait que toutes les tribus pa-
tives du Transwaal ne formassent
une linge contre les anglais. II
parait adjourd'hui que ragitation
s'apaise. Les Zulus s'apereoivent
quill ne peuyent etre que victimes
de leurs revoltes. On affirfne qu'ils
demandent aujourd'hu Ia paix.-

The influence of the press al

|. The influence of the press al
though often unappreciated is
nevertheless one of the most potent
agencies for the good of society.
Few men have higher regard or
deeper yeneration for the law or
for the we'll being of society and
the elevation of the race than onr
journalists. They have a direct,
personal, individual interest in the
increase of the sum of general intel
ligence. They are the conservators
of education. They are the natural
enemies of wrong, injustice and law
lessness. To them the peace of
society and the prosperity and well
being of all classes, ranks, colors
and conditions are matters of alb
sorbing and controlling interest.
The world recks little of theirpower
for good. The right that is vindi-
Gated, the wrong that is condemned,
the good that is encouraged, and
the evil that is prevented often pass
for little in the eye of the world.
Society joys along with self com
placence and thanks the pulpit, the
school room and the courts for
good order, peace and security of
life and limb, but who stands back
of all these agencies to mould and
quicken public opinion that makes
them powerful for goode Thepress.
A thankless, unrequited calling it
may be but still it is the power that
moves the world.

LONDON, Sept, 15.-It is estimat.
ed that 10000 people in the north
east district of England, where so
much distress now prevails, have
been thrown out of employment
during the past three years. There
are thousands Of empty houses in
Darlington, Stockton and Newport,
The climax of distress has been
reached at Middleboro. The MAYOR
OF that town has written to the
home secretary as follows: "Trade
has not revived here and the great
distress in the district has so seri.
ously affected those who subscribed
to the relief funds that our local re.
sources are not to be depended upon.

Mr.. Dana, the editor af the New
York Sun, has been looking into the
state of the crops in Europe, and
has written a short letter to his
paper giving the result of his obser
vations. The outlook, as he repre-
sents it, is even worse than the
foreign papers had given us reason
to suppose. Not only have the
crops of wheat and other grams
been nearly an entire failure through
the greater part of Western Europe,
but the potato crop also, which is
more important to the sustenance of
the people than is generally sup
posed, makes an equally bad show
ing, and it seems certain that Great
Britain, France and Germany will
be almost wholly dependent upon
Russia aud the United States for
their food during the coming year.
In both of these countries, happily,
the crops are unusually abundant,
and with the continually-improvipg
facilities for transportation there is
no danger of a famine or even of
such a rise in the breadstuffs as
would have been inevitable under
like circumstances few years ago.
The surplus products of the United
States will suffice to feed MANY
millions abuntly.

There are some people whose re.
ligion runs as slowly as cold molass
es, as Holmes says. The bible is a
very good book for their neighbors,
and they always do unto others as
they imagine others would do unto
them if they had the chance. Pa.
thence is cardinal virtue which
their creditors ought to possess, and
they gre perfectly willing to be kept
warm all the winter by having the
good people whom they have
wronged heap Goals of charitable
fire on their heads. They believe
that every body ought to forgive the
debts which they have managed to
run up themselves and then pity
them for their misfortunes when
they pag only ten cents on the dol
lar and travel on the Continent
with the other ninety per cent. 1t
is wonderful what unanimity of
opinion there is on the subject of
religion for-every one in the world
except yourself.-[N. Y. Herald.

GARRISON, KY, September 12.-
George Underwood, the chief of the
Underwood party, was shot to death
when he stepped out of the door of
his house, known as Fort Under.
wood, yesterday morning. Six balls
pierced his body, and one his head.
This is the ninth murder in three
stages Of the Underwood war, and
others will follow. The civil an.
thorlties are inactive, and nothing
but martial law and soldiers will
stop further bloodshed.

The st. Petersburg Gazette mani.
fest a very rational comprehension
OF the situation in suggesting that
England and Russia divide Afgan-

as a judicious a scheme as was the
partition of Poland, and must CON-
mend itself to the Afgans at sight.
