LONDON, Aug. 3.-The Posts Berlin des-
patch reports that the customs revenue is re-
covering from long stagnation. The receipts

The Recall of Sir Bartle Frere.
In the House of Commons last night the
Marquis OF Harrington, Secretary for India,
governorship of the Cape of Good Hope. Both
the Marquis of Harrington and Earl Kimber-
~, in making the announcement, concluded
by saying that the governmnt took the step
with regret because while Sir Bartle Freres
views differ from the views of the Ministers
on important questions, they fully recognize
his high personal qualities and distinguished
services.
Conditioned Mr.. Gladstone.
A bulletin from Downing street this morn
ing says: "Mr. Gladstone passed fair night.
No increase i'll the local malady with which he
is afflicted, nor in the fever"
At noon today the condition of Mr.. Glad
stone was unchanged. In consequence of the
Premier's illness the Lord Mayors dinner to
the Minister'S on Saturday next is abandoned.
The Pail Mall Gazette says it IS understood
that Mr.. Gladstones doctors this morning
were somewhat disappointed at the condition
OF their patient. They had hoped for mark
ed diminntion in the temperature of his body
but have become content that it is no higher
than on Monday. This morning Mr.. Glad
stone was able to dictate to Lord Granville, the
Foreign Secretary. Doubtless the Cabinet
will shortly meet to decide upon arrange
ments for the prosecution of the public bust
ness during the absence of the Premier from
his post.
The Standard says the apprehension that
Mr.. Gladstone is in a precarious state does not
correctly give his situation. He is in a serious
condition and the case is of such an irregular
kind that 1t necessitates the greatest caution.
=. p. MIR. Gladstone is progressing favor
ably. His temperature is now 102 degrees
against 1O3 yesterday, at which his physicians
are much gratifed.
The Irish Disturbance Bill.
In the debate in the House of Lords last
night on the disturbance bill, Lord DERBY, who

shape or reject it, he would vote for rejecting,
but as it might be amended in committee he
should vote for second reading.
The Compensation bill was rejected in the

THE PHILIP IN THIS CASE THE MISSING
HUSBANDS TWIN BROTHER.
Paris, Illinois, is just uow enjoying pleas
urable bit of sensation in its social circles
over genuine romance in real life-a kind of
Enoch Arden affair with variations. Twen-
ty-one years ago Josiah Bouser left his young
wife, Jane, and their little boy, Willie, in
charge of his wife's father, Mr. Hollis, and
started ON a journey to the far West, after
bidding wife and little one q most affection
ate farewell, and promising to come home
again when he had made a fortune and pro-
vide richly for their comfort. Years went
by, and this Jane, like Annie of the poets
tale, waited and watched for her husbands
return. When hope had died of long delay
she married again-not Josiah's playmate
only in this case, but his twin brother,
Uriah. Together they lived happily, and
she bore him two sons. Two or three years
ago she died. Her tirst-born, Willie. grew
to manhood, and entered College at Bloom
ton Illinois.
Last week the village of Isabel railroad
town that has grown up where this modern
Enoch Arden was accustomed in other years
TO see a few widely separated farm houses,
was startled by the appearance of Josiah
Bouser, who had come back in search of his
wife and child. That he wept over his lost
loved ones grave we need not say. He i'm
mediately sent for his son, who hastened home
from college, not knowing what a happy
surprise awaited him. He was overioyed to
find his father there to greet him and
now father and son are spending happy hours
visiting among their relatives. Mr.. Bouser
found what he sought in the West and is
reported as being immensely wealthy.

The South and the Census.

New York Herald.
We predict that figures will prove the
material condition of the South to be far
better than before the war, although the
immense item Of the money value of four
millions of slaves must be dropped. The
condition of the new States and Territories,
which if known at present is not a matter
of general knowledge, will appear in true
figures. Statistics of the advance or decline
of various industries will be awaited with
great solicitude, for these have special i'm
portance which is not always acknowledged
in the market reports from the great trade
center. The present whereabouts of the
colored people and their various occupa-
tions will give far better indications of the
future of this race among US than anyone
has been able to compile from the political
utteranees that at present are almost the
only sources of information. More import
ant than all, the progress made in agricul-
ture, not only in the new States, but the
older ones, will enable statisticans to frame
a definite outlook, for the next few years to
come, of our principal source of wealth. For
the reasons stated the forthcoming report will
be awaited with far more interest than any
other promised book can arouse.

"Too Shmall."
DEVICE TO SAVE A cHILD's FARE.

A DEVICE To SAVE A CHILD's FARE.
Railroader.]
Speaking Of the desire of some people to
ride free, reminds me of a little incident
which occurred on Canada Southern train
a few DAYS since. At Detroit a heshy Ger
man woman, with little girl of about 6
years. boarded the train for Toledo. When
the conductor came through, the woman
was sitting on the edge of the seat with her
child, oh, where was she? That was the
conundrum but it was too easy one for
that Canada Southern conductor. After
going through the train, he returned to our
heroine, who still maintained her uncom-
Portable position and appeared much inter
ested with the passing scenery. Laying his
hand on her shoulder, the conductor asked
where the child was, but only received for
an answer: Too shmall, too shmalll'
Again repeating his inquiry, and again re-
ceiving his ''too shmall' answer, he de-
cided to investigate the matter. Compelling
the woman to sit back in her seat, he found
the little girl doubled up in a heap in the
corner, where she had been obliged to keep
as quiet as a mouse for nearly half an hour,
covered by the not too clean garments of
the inhuman mother, who was trying to
save her fare.
All the time the investigation was going
on the woman kept up her plea of "too
shmall, too shmalll'' until the conductor,
becoming disguised, remarked: eli she is
too small TO pay fare, she is certainly too
small for you to sit on. Fare, please.H
