Gcrm an Interssts 1n the southern
Pacific.
LONDON, August 1.-The North
German Gazette argues in favor of
the proposal that Germany should
purchase some islands in the South
ern Pacific, pointing out that the
possession of n colony in that dis
tant and busy ocean could not fail
to appreciably benefit German COM
merce.
A Berlin correspondent of the
Post says this may be taken as an
indication that Notwithstanding
the many official disclaimers there
is, after all, prospect of Germany
acquiring some colonies. The
North German Gazette is generally
regarded as an exponent of Prince
Bismarck's ideas.

Though Il complete encyclopedia, first
class in character. and containing more
matter than any heretofore published in
this country at any price. should be made
and sold for the trtling sum of $1,000,
seems so extraordinary that many who
wish it may be true are very naturally in
credulous. The same house publish q
large list of standard works, all at SINH
larly low prices, and the presence of some
of them already in the hands of hundreds
of thousands of lovers of good books in
all parts of the land, is naturally rapidly
transforming the incredulous into patrons
and enthusiastic friends of the enterprise.
No mystery is made about the cause of the
low prices-they are the reduced cost Of
manufacture to about one-half Of what it
was few years ago, the method of sale,
direct to the purchaser, saving him the
large commissions commonly paid to
agents and dealers, and very large sale.

A PERILoUs ADvENTURE.-Thr the
Big Horn canyon in n cockle-shull! Who
could have imagined that such mad
freak would be attempted, and, above all,
who can believe such a trip accomplished
And yet William Hughes and John
O'Brien, two miners, have done it, Think
ing to save two hundred miles travel
around the mountains they concluded to
come by the Wind river through the BIG
Horn canyon, down the Big Horn river to
the Yellowstone. With some tools they
had in their mining camp they built their
tral craft at the bottom Of the canyon,
having previously taken down their mate
rial of red cedar. The boat was made
twelve feet long, three feet wide, aud
upon trial was found to carry her cargo of
freight and passengers admirably. SO on
the morning of the 23d Of July they united
their boat and pushed into the current.
The rush of the river, which before start
ing was almost deafening, was terrible in
its roar as the boat started on its Journey
through the unknown gorge, To 90 back
was impossible; to climb the solid lime
stone walls, which rose five hundred feet
above their heads, where a narrow streak
of light lighted up their course, was not
to be entertained us u means of escape :;
through they must so. trusting to their
ability to avoid rocks and the strength of
their craft TO run the rapids and falls they
met at every bend Of the canyon On they
went. The loudcst halloo was heard us II
whisper. Grottoes, caves, coulees, I'M
known recesses of nature were passed by
these hardy navigators. In places tlocks
of mountain sheep, startled by the appear
ance of the curiosity rushing by below
them, would run along ledge of rocks,
jump from crag to crag, where footing for
man would be impossible, and disappear.
Evening coming on, they attempted to tie
up for the night, worked the boat close to
shore, jumped out, and away went the
craft, carrying the guns and provisions.
With starvation behind them and hardly a
foothold before them, their chances Of
keeping on were doubtful, when they
luckily found two logs, which they dashed
together with their belts, and again trust
ing to the river and still more dangerous
rocks they set out to search for their boat,
which they found two miles below, where
it had stopped in an eddy. On the after
noon of the third day, while wondering
how much longer the Big Horn canyon
could possibly be, they suddenly shot out
into the beautiful Big Horn valley, with

Bad Luck.

nav
Earl Beaoonsfield has something Of the
same kind of trouble that used to befall
Young Mr.. Disraeli. He still docs things
that subject him to the horse laughs Of
ruder natures. And lately he has been
talking to lot of English farmers and
broke loose into statement that there is
to be or wants TO be great emigration of
American farmers to-where in the world
but to Canada!
The premier sees in his minds eye the
trembling eagerness of multitudes OF
Americans as they are about to make a
wild break for the happy hunting grounds
of Canada. These hunting grounds are
of course to be transformed into farmers
paradise according 10 the Beaconsfeld
plan.
1t turns out that Sir John Mcdonald OF
Canada has been staying at Hughenden
Manor, the earl's country house, and this
throws dark suspicion on the Canadian
statesman that he has been "stufling" the
mighty man who made all Europe 60 as
he pleased at Berlin last year. At any
rate no greater nonsense was ever uttered
by small man than this foolish talk of
highlands leader. lie can afford to be
laughed at now however great deal bet
ter than in the old times when the house
OF commons would not listen to him but
there are indications that his luck has
temporarily, at least, deserted him.
He had manipulated his latest Asiatic
mystery to his entire satisfaction, when
an Afghan mob Mt Cabul broke loose and
murdered Major Cavagnari, the British
envoy, and his escort. This performance
wiped out all the English had succeeded
in doing and at first it was feared that the
present ameer, Yakoob-Khan, was really
ifnot openly in favor of the attack.
Late advices however show that the
ameer is really on the side of the British
rs he has fled from Cabul and joined the
army which is advancing from India. As
u good many Afghans accompanied him il
is now hoped that the English troops will
be able 10 move on with little opposition
and again occupy Cabul in week or tel
days.
If this can be done the bad luck of Ear
Beaconsfield will not be SO bad after all
But it will after all somewhat shake thu
confidence of the average Briton in TIT
parmanency of good many Of the shinin.
blessings that the quick witted premier
has dazzled the country with Nor has The
Zulu war helped good feeling towards the
ministry in England and tho capture o
King Cetywayo and the subsection of hi'
followers does not wholly drive away the
discomfort.
This discomfort comes because thu
brilliant performances undertaken to keel
Great Britain frst-class power cost
great deal of money and all through
England crops are poor and times arr
hard. Taxes are therefore more burden
some than usual and there is growing ant
grumbling that may very likely in tn
next election for members of the house c
commons result in the choice of q ma or
ty that shall be more in accord with MI
Gladstone than with the present prim
minister.

tributes 800 towards the Bennington bat

brains. Twenty-Five thousand dollars is
pretty good pay for one weeks services

The mushroom growth of some western
cities, is shown in the case of Deadwood,
Dakota, which is but three years old and
is already big enough to have a two
million fire.
Kearney's wrath will be doubly stirred
now. He called upon Gen. Grant the
other day, but the general refused to
receive him. Such an insult will elicit a
torrent of abuse probably.

The extensive and valuable library OF
the late Caauncey X. Williams, of Rut-
land, is offered at private sale. 1t repre-
sents the accumulation of three genera
tions, and in the department of local his
tory is probably unequaled by any private
collection in the state.
Mr.. Tilden is reported to be in a cheer
full frame of mind about the chances for
Gov. Robinson S election and also to be in
Il critical mood as to the conduct of the
southerners, thinking they give their north
ern brethren too much of a load to carry.
All of which may be very truthful or
very false report.
The walk for the Ashley belt last week
at Gilmore's Garden was won by Rowel
who walked $50 miles. Merritt Of Con
necticut was I'd, SIS miles, Hazael eng

Ennis and Khrone made also over 45C
miles. Norman Taylor, "the Vermont
Pie Eater" made 250 miles, but he didn'
worry himself
Dnring the two weeks ending Saturday
the Goth instant, the Fairbanks scale com
pany received orders for 2,S68 scales, in
Guiding orders for no less than nineteen
iron frame railroad track scales. This i.
the largest number booked in the factory
since the panic of 1873. To meet this
business pressure, the factory has com
menced running evenings, the first timt
since the war.
The New York campaign is getting
warm already. Some independent repub
licans propose to scratch Cornell and
Soule, the candidates for governor ant
canal commissioner. Tammany Hall bolts
Robinson for Kelly but will support the
rest of the Syracuse ticket. Things are
thus greatly mixed. At this distance i
seems that Cornell will be elected and
Soule defeated with the rest of the tcke
10 state of doubt.
Kelly means business and so docs Til
den. At the Tammany ratification meet
ing the latter was denounced by Kelly as
trickster and on each side the speakers
desk on the platform was plaster bust of
81. T. placed on barrel with appropri-
ate ciphers. Such at present is the har-
mony of the New York democracy. 1t is
not dwelling together of brothers in
unity but very suggestive of trubble in
de church." Samuel makes a mistake
when he undertakes to keep John Kelly on
a corvine diet every year.
