American Beef In England,

A correspondent send the following
communication to the Manchester Er-
an1iner in the form of a letter of inquiry:
Notwithstanding the large quantities Of
foreign beef, etc., weekly imported, I
shall be glad if any of your readers will
inform me what becomes of it. When
first introduced I often saw it exposed for
sale in the shops, but now I can find
nothing of the sort. The other day I
found in an obscure shop in a somewhat
obscure locality a.few joints which were
described by the vender as American
beef, but Of which I had some doubt.
In reply to my inquiry as to what became
of it all, he coolly informed me that great
quantities reached Manchester every
week, but it was sold by the butchers as
English beef. Upon expressing my
surprise at this announcement, he cooIly
informed me that it was 'as good as
English beef, and therefore why not sell
it as such, and at the same price I say
nothing IS regards quality, but I do
think while the American beef does not
cost the butchers more than one-half
what the English beef does, surely they
might be contented with less profits than
they are evidently making"

Dispatches from Wichita, Kansas, signed by
J. NJ. Steele, said to be q prominent politician of
Kansas, and one of the Republican candid ties
for Governor, have been received, stating that
the military have made no move yet toward
ejecting the invaders from the Indian Terrific
~, and that papers are ready to arrest them
when they do. A man named White has gone
to Fort Smith, Arkansas, to procure a hdbeas
corpus, SO that the military can be arrested in

The Grea, St. Goth.rd runn.l.

A dispatch from Geneva says: "a French
engineer, who, at the request of the ~contrac-
tors, has just examined the St Gothard Tun-
mel, reports that it can not be ready for traffic
before the end of April next. Local engineers
agree in the foregoing report. According to
agreement, the contractors forfeit 5000 francs
for every days delay after the LIST of October
next, but they dispute their liability on the
ground that the company failed to keep faith
with them. The matter will probably come be-
fore the Federal Tribunal. As the lines of ap-
proach can not be finished before the summer
of 1881, the delay in the completion of the
tunnel will not retard the opening Of the line
for through ~trafic." ~

some plainly which that great river shall cease
TO be q terror to those who dwell upon its
banks, and by which its shipping may safely
carry the industrial products of twenty-five mil
lions of people. The interests of agriculture,
which Is the basis of all our material prosperity
and in which sev~en-twelfths of our population
are engaged, as well as the interests of manu-
~facttrer and commerce, demand that the
facilities for cheap, transportation shall be IN
creased by the use of all our great water courses.
The material interests of this country, the
traditions of its settlement, and the senti-
ments of our people have led the Government
to offer the widest hospitality to emigrants who
seek our shores for new and happier homes,
willing to share the burdens as well as the bene-
fits of our society, and intending that their pos
terlty shall become an u~ndistinguishable parto OF
our population. The recent movement of the
Chinese to our Pacific coast partakes but LITTLE
of the qualities of such an emigration, either in
its purpose or its result. 1t is too much like an
importation to be welcomed without ~restric-
ton; too much like an invasion to be looked
upon without solicitude. We can not consent
to allow any form of servile labor to be intro
duced among us under the guise of immlgra-
ton. Recognizing the gravity of this subject
the present Administration, supported by Con-
gress, has sent to China q commission of dis
tinguished citizens for the purpose of securing
such a modification of the existing treaty as
will prevent the evils likely to arise from the
present situation. 1t is confidently believed
that these diplomatic negotiations will be sue
cessful, without the loss of commercial inter
course between the two Powers, which prom
ises a great increase of reciprocal trade and the
enlargement of our markets. Should these ef
forts fail, it will be the duty of Congress to miti.
gate the evils already felt, and prevent their in.
crease by such restrictions as, without violenc,
or injustice, will place upon a sure foundation
the peace of our communities and the freedom
and dignity of labor.
The appointment of citizens to the various OK.

is perhaps the most difficult of all the dutie.

1t Is stated from Paris that the sales of
Rocheforts paper, the first number of which
has just been given to the public, amounted to
over $4,000 copies. This large sale was due to

save lie Petit Journal. ~Rochefort declares that

The Paris specials contain the following con-
corning the scenes connected with the fete:
The time for the commencement of the cere-
monies had been fixed at 1880. At 1915 all
were seated The scene then presented was
magnificent In the extreme. b stands were
filed from bottom to top with superbly cos
TUNED ladies, among whom fitted or stood
figures Of men, either In rich uniforms or the
more simple black citizens clothes; the dense
columns Of soldiery, some carrying on their
swarthy faces the history of Frances military
struggles and the dense mass of common
people outside the enclosure on the lawns, and
on the hills about-an this formed q sight
which could not be witnessed outside of France.
AT 1880 O'Clock q large red silk flag was I'M
furled to the breeze in front of the Presidents
stand. Twenty guns were then fired, and this
announced the official commencement of the
! exercises. The standard bearers of the four
hundred and hirty-two regiments of the French
army, bearing the colors Of their different regi-
ments, then ranged, themselves Immediately
behind the stands. The Colonel of every
regiment advanced toward the central
tribune from a half circle round it,
received each his new colors from the
President, and returned to his place
amid cheers that surged along the whole line of
the race course. As the number of each was
recognized and the plowess of his regiment was
seen recorded on the silk, the enthusiasm
swelled into a deafening roar. AT the concIu-
sion of the Presidents address the Colonies
removed their caps in homage to, the Republic
as represented by its President. When the Of
fcers raised their caps all Of them simultan-
eously burst out in the soul inspiring strains of
the Marseillaise. Words cannot express the eff
feet produced by this tremendous outbust. The
words thrilling" electric are. incapable of
describing it. Mems faces flushed, and women's
eyes flashed. Hats were thrown in the air,
and shouts of " Viue La Republique," rolled
over the plain with a force which for q few
minutes drowned the music. The men en-
braced one another and some wept. 1t was an
impressive moment. The new colors we're then
distributed among the regiments and then the
J lines were formed for parade which lasted fully
three hours, after which the regiments marched
to their respective quarters. The regiments as
they passed by the Presidents stand cheered
and the crowds outside sent up shouts after
shout as the gallant heroes Of many wars passed
by. The military force on the field numbered
1900 men.

Andreas Eichenberg, a renovator of cloth
ing, doing business at Columbus, Ohio, . few
days ago entered the Capital City Bank of that
place for the purpose Of negotiating a loan. He
held in his hand q certificate from the trustees
of ". B. Brooks calling for sI0s upon whichhe
wanted $50. s. 8. Rickly, the president of the
bank, refused him, and the manthen asked for
$685. fThis amount was also refused,
whereupon Eichenberg drew o 22-cali-
Der Smith & Wesson from his pocket
and as quick as fash, shot, the
ball penetrating the right eye Of Rickly and
passed back to the left, lodging somewhere in
the left side of the face. The man then placed
the revolver to his own head and shot, killing
himself instantly. Ralph Rickly, the cashier,
rushed to the door and called loudly for help,
and in a moment the place was besieged with
people. Some years ago he deposited between
S4OO and $500 in Rickly's bank, and was COM
pelled to wait some time before 1t was repaid
because Of the panic. The money was, how
ever, paid back to the Last cent, with interest.
1t was then loaned to W. B. Brooks, whose
estate Is now in course Of settlement. It Is
stated, on behalf Of Mr.. Rickly, that Eichen-
berg seemed incapable of reasoning about the
matter, and labored under the impression that
since he had waited on the bank once that he
was therefore entitled to a loan, now that he
himself was hard up. Andreas Eichenberg, the
suicide, was q man of about ifty-three or fifty
five years Of age, of fine appearance and gem
tlemanly address, more so than one would look
for in one of his situation in life. He is mar
ried and lived happily with bis wife, who almost
idolized him. ~ %&'
