canada Pac,f,c RalIuax.


LONDON, Aug. 14-In the house of
commons to-day the colonial secretary
stated that he understood the Canadian
government intended applying to the
home government for guarantee of loan
for the construction of the Canada Paci-
fic railway, but no such application has
yet been made.
France Buying Amcricanlyvheat.
The Flndncier says: AS on yesterday
and also for some days previously, large
French purchases Of wheat from the
United States were arranged for settle
ment through the market. Afurther adj
vance in French exchange on London is
probable.
Gladstone ON American Industry.
Gladstone, speaking at the opening of
the art exhibition at Chester last night,
said that when America learned to trust
entirely to her own SPLENDID natural re-
sources, the great genius of her people
and the marvellous proficiency in adapta-
ton of labor-saving appliances, in which
she was at the head of the world, she
would be formidable competitor with
English manufacturers.
| English Crops and Markets.
The Mark Lane Express says there
there have been some intervals of sun
shine during the past week which have
been beneficial to growing crops and hay
making. Cold nights, however, militat-
ed much against ripening of cereals, and
it is only in the south thnt wheatis hang
ing color. Even under the most fayora-
BILE conditions it is improbabl that any
home grown wheat will be seen in Mark
Lane before the first week in September
In 1878 first sample appeared in Mark
Lane on the 18th of August. Some OF
the hay crop has been secured, but in
many instances in very unfit state. The
condition of the root crops is very varia
BILE. Potatoes appear to be thriving fair
" in Scotland and Ireland, and the con
sumption of maize in Ireland has conse-
quently decreased. In the midland
counties of England a disease has ap
peared and the condition of the potato
crop is deplorable. In short, the i'm
provement of the agricultural situation
| is very slight, and the harvest cannot b
otherwise than deficient. Very little En-
glish wheat was offered during the weel
either at Mark Lane or at county ex
changes.

A PLAGUE OF LoCUsTS IN Russia
Turning now from the ravages of revolu
ton to the devastations of flocusts-rather
singular transition, you must admit
find daily cry of lamentation uttered
by all the press of Southern Russia. AS
very certain proof of how enormous is
the damage caused to the crops of this
corn beetle, or by what other name the
noxious insect may be called, may
mention that the Province of Cherson
alone-into the Custom House Treasury
of which you may remember some days
ago the Nihilists digged their under
ground way and abstracted an enormous
quantity of coin-a sum of no less than
sc, 900 rubles has been voted for the pur-
pose of exterminating this Egyptian
plague. I. is feared, however, that the
preventive measure will be loo late, and
that the crops must be parted with in o
| Christian spirit of submission. On a sur
| face of 800 versts at and around Zanitzin,
| on the Volga, there has been no rain since
the beginning of spring till now, while
universal dryness and enormous heat
| Reamur's thermometer standing at 30
degrees in the shade, 40 degrees in the
sun-with intolerable sultriness and
dust, have destroyed all hopes of the
harvest thereabout. The country peo.
nile, says the Gotos, are leaving their
homes by hundreds in despair and wan.
dering about as beggars. From Other
parts Of the Empire, too, the cry of dis
tress is heard, arising from different
chord of woe. The Russo-Polish and
Lithuanian towns are swarming witt
such o large and unemployed Jewisl
population that the civic authorities arr
no longer able to support them, and tn,

Domestic ECONOMY.

As we see the great advance that has
been made in the last fifty years in many
departments of labor, the better methods,
by which economy in time, in muscle,
and OF course money-money being only
the result of time and labor, are gained,
we ask has not the time arrived when we
should turn our attention to domestic
economy? Are We not ready for better
and less wasteful methods of conducting
our household? It is not our purpose
here to look into the reasons, and ask
why this most necessary and useful de-
partment of life and labor is the one last
to be taken up for reform Many of the
causes are self-evident, SO apparent that
it would seem to be unnecessary to
enumerate them.
Now, however, so many thinking men
and women are asking this question, that
the next step after agitation and intelli-
gent dlscontent, must be experiment.
Already many excellent inventions for
better ways of doing home work have
been devised, but they are either not yet
heard of by those who need and would
be glad TO use them, or they are too ex-
pensiye to be attained by small, separate
households; or, as is often the case, they
would unnecessarily multiply kitchen
utensils where the small, inconyenient
kitchen is crowded already.
It is very clear that the only way to
any real improvement must be in some
form of combined labor; where, by the
ombination of capital, numbers and in
telligence, several or many families can
! procure the best machines and most
Skilled laundry men or women and
cooks. One uneducated person can not
be supposed to be excellent IN various
departments, and we rarely find one who
is excellent in any, but under 9 better
method inducements would be onered 70
make il worth ones while to be an artist
in every branch; and instead OF food
cooked by an inexperienced woman who
had hardly known how to cook anything
more than potatoe; or fieid hand
from Southern plantation, who had not
been able to try her skill on much more
than corn cakes, for these we should be
able to employ persons who knew some
thing of the science of cooking and COM
/ bining and preparing food suitable fol
refined and highly organized men and
women.
Many experiments will doubtless b
| tried before we find the perfect way, bu
let the experiments be made, we are Ger
tainly ready for them.
| The generation of Young people grow
ing up will adapt themselves very read
lily to new forms and methods. The bur
den of large house and all of its care
will be thing of the past, as soon as
is seen that we can have home, and 81
of its joys and comforts, without Il
cares. This viii be stride in the diret
ton OF making life fine art, worthy {
thinking beings, instead of the worry
is to most people.

Tombs Of the Bonapartes.
IBoston Times. ]

We have as yet no knowledge where
will be deposited the remains of the late
Prince, but it is probable that they will
be transferred to Corsica. AS is we'll
known, the body of Napoleon + was in
tered in Hotel des Invalides during the
reign Of Louis Philippe. This great sol
dier's home was to become for the Bona
parties what ST. Dennis had been for the
Rourbons, whence it was to be deemed
not family burial place, but the mauso-
leum only of those members who had
worn crowns. In accordance with this
principle of selection, Napoleon III.
caused the body of King Joseph to be
brought from Florence. where he died in
1874. This was in 1862, and the following
year the other crowned Bonapartes Louis
Of Holland and Jerome Of Westfalen) fol-
lowed him. For the others the late Em-
peror had a fine motuary chapel built at
Ajaccio. The crypt, underneath the chapel
-four, is octagon in shape, three of the
center of the chapel itself has but four
walls, the spaces corresponding to the
other sides of the octagon beneath, being
open halls, forming together . Latin
cross. OF the four walls, three are oecu-
pied by inscriptions in honor of the per-
sons buried beneath; for the fourth and
last place no candidate has till now pre-
sented itself. One of the inscriptions
runs:

them have lived SO extravagantly as to

Office. Laetitia and Feeeh, however, were
exceptions to the rule, both having left
