LONDON, July 22-The report OF Glare

ROYAL Agricultural Commission To the
United states and Canada TO inquire
into the state Of agriculture. is publish
ed. They say while mauy prevailing
conditions are favorable in America In
the contest for agricultural supremacy,
still draw backs exist which tell in favor
OF England. Severe winters suspend
agricultural employment, drough,s, in.
jurlous insects, and in the prar ecountry
a short supply OF water. endanger the
crops. Western America possesses sim
gulsr advantages for stock raisers, white
the middle States afford them excellent
pssturage, and the eastern States good
markets, The allotment OF land and the
termination oi the free ranges In the
West will increase the cost VI cattle rais-
ing, but increased consumption by the
growing population will enhance the
prices. Success and the extension OF
the growth of blue grass, opens fresh
prospects for the grasier, and will In
time bring improved turf under the hoOf
OF thoroughbred stock, or at least OF
high grade OF cattle.

Up the Niger.

The French traveller, Compt Bde Semelle, who had lately returned to Paris from his voyage of exploration on the Niger, tells how he offered the ruler of Lokodgo. a present of certain cot ton goods. The chieftain was indig- nant and screamed out, :" am great Sultan: am not 8 dog. I will not take your miserable gifts; give me some thing worthy of 8 Prince. I must have brandy and rum r The Count was afraid that his life was in danger, and he caused his interpreter to explain to the terrible potentate that he was not an Englishmsn, but a Frenchman, and added with emphasis that men of his great nation had never before been re- ceived with such rudeness, that he had no dread of fire nor poison, and used g number of other extravagant boasts. This manner quieted the Sultan little, whereupon the Count presented him with bottle of gin. The great Sultan emptied it at one draught, and imme, diately fell into sort of delirium. Ac' cording to Semelle's account, the people have "a. sort of Parliament" as tho Count names it. which, under the pres

An Earnest Boy.

MT. Kavanagh, the Irish member of Parliament whose lack of arms and legs is accompanied by plentiful supply of brains, had in his youth avery sorrowful life. After the early death of his father and mother, he was under the control of his two elder brothers, who, mortified by his strange deformity, are said to have secluded him in the country from the sight of mankind. The boy full of intellectual zeal and manly spirit, would not allow his mind to rust or grow morbid and when after several years his brothers died, leaving very large estate to his guidance, he emerged from his library rarely cultivated and brilliant man with brain and will so trained that it was very easy matter to him to grasp practical life and affairs. So delightful are MT. Kavanagh's in. tellectual and spiritual graces that he won for his wife 8 very beautiful and charming woman. His children arc all bright and handsome, and he is greatly beloved, both by them and by his tenantry. In spite of his bodily mis fortune MT. |. Kavanagh is ,. noted Nimrod, riding after hounds-in $ saddle which he himself invented witl the greatest energy and daring.

New Morning Wrappers.

Short skirts for the street are found to be so comfortable that many ladies are abolishing all trains-except for full.dress occasions-and are having morning made short enough for the skirt to escape the floor. These are especially pretty when made with the great punches of shiring that are now so much used to hold the fullness of the back. breadth. A pretty model of this kind is the pale blue cashmere, trimmed with collar, cuffs, and square pockets of Oriental silk in palm leaf deslgns of many colors combined. At the back, just below the waist line, the fullness of the skirt is massed in long and broad cluster of shirring. Another wrapper in Pompadour colors is the light. blue camel's-hair witha iabot of lace down the front, with the shells fill ed in with loops of rink and blue satin ribbon. The edge of most such wrap pers is left plain at least it is not trimmed with founce or with border, but there is very pretty fashion of cut ting the bottom into a wall of Troy squares, binding them, and placing
 beneath these pleating of the cashmere or of sllk, and perhaps below bala- yeuse of pleated white muslin and lace.
 One of the most elegant morning dresses
 lately shown is made of bordered camel's. hair shawls cut up for the pur- pose. The center of the shawls is ar-
 ranged to form the greater part of the garment, while the borders trim the
 front, the sleeves, neck, and pockets.
 The printed cashmeres, once so popu- lar for morning robes, are again intro ducsd in single widths that are sold for fifty cents yard. Among these are dark or pale blue, garnet, brown, green. or black grounds with palm-leaf de- signs of gay colors. For flannel morn ing dresses many ladies now prefer fine white gauge flannel, and have it richly embroidered with white floss. These are sent to professional scourers to be cleaned when soiled, and there are also white cloth wrappers, some of which are beautifully wrought in Per sian coIors. '..

The Wrong Man.

The wrong man was kissed again at 8 Rochester railroad station. He was an old and unsuspecting traveller, and the girl was 8 fashionable, aud respected resident of the city. It was dark, and she mistook him for her father. What ensued is described by the Democrat i, !" With more than the usual demonstra- tions displayed on such occasions, she threw both arms about his neck and inn printed several sounding kisses upon his face. The startled old gentleman pushed her gently and said Tn a smothered tone, Some mistake, some mistake She sprang back like g frightened fawn. 'Oh, I thought you were father. You'll excuse me, won't you?' Certainly said the old boy, smiling, : but you-you nearly smothered me-.

The Frontier Indians.

General Nelson A. Miles said to a reporter, when asked about the Indians, that his special province was the north ern Indian country, formerly held by Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse. The lat ter went to the happy hunting ground some time ago; shortly after he and his band had surrendered to the Govern ment. Sitting Bull is across the border, and has by this time, says Gen. Miles, become Johnny Bull. He apprehends no further trouble from him. He has now been three years in the British Ter ritory, and his band, from famished, ragged, and destitute crowd, in which condition it was driven across the line, has in the interval recuperated, grown fat, obtained plentiful supplies of cloth ing, and arms and ammunition as much as they want. But they--and Sitting Bull-have been made to understand the conditions upon which this privilege has been granted them. The English law has been read and interpreted to Sitting Bull, and it has been strongly
 impressed upon him that if he started out on the war path for the American territory, he will not only be treated as an enemy by the United States, but by the English Government. He will have an enemy in his front and another wait ing for him in the rear and between these two fires it is likely to be made exceedingly warm for him. Sitting Bull quite understands the situation, and is too shrewd man to run his head against such a stone-wall as that. Gen. Miles says also that the British Government has in measure made itself responsible to our Government for the good conduct of these Indians. It has permitted them to live near the line instead of interning them, because game Is more plentiful there, and it is more convenient for the traders, and under it's protection they have been allowed to grow strong again after being beaten to the earth by the Army on this side. Between Major Walsh, of the Canadian Mounted Police, and Gen. Miles, perfect understanding exists, and they have now an arrange ment by which information of any move ment on the part of the band, or any portions sof it, is immediately commu- nicated to the military authorities on this side. This arrangement was made last year, after several small raiding parties from the band had crossed the line and, descending to the Yellowstone Valley, had done considerable mischief there. Gen. Miles started for them, and chased them back to the border. Here he had conference with Major Walsh and a representative of the Indians. The latter was told that the raiding business must stop, which was duly promised, and the arrangement was then made between the two military commanders whereby, if any more raid ing parties start out again, they are exceedingly likely to stay on this side forever.

The spread of Nihiism in tn @ Russian Army is 8 very omincus fact, not merely from it's actively pernicious results, but also from it's neutralizing the one safeguard against revolution which has long been peculiar to Russia among all the nations of Europe. The bulk of the population is so widely scattered as to be absolutely incapable of combined action, while the whole Empire contains only five cities viz: {: St. Petersburg, Moscow, Kieff, Warsaw, and Odessa-of more than 100, 900 in habitants. The quartering of power ful army corps in or near each ..of these places was an effectual bridle to disaf- fection while the soldiers remained loyal. But now that the Nihilist propagandism has entered the camp likewise, the num- bers and concentration of the troops are likely to be as hurtful to the Govern ment as they were once helpful to it. So long as only 5 per cent. of the sol diers could read, disaffection moved slowly; but the present rapid advance of education threatens to confront Russia with the old question, " Who shall keep the keepers ?" ..he.-.
 -Bealy James, a boy, disappeared from his home at Lockport, Ky. It was conjectured that he had been muf- dered, as no trace of him could be found. Two years afterward murderer named 3 Shuck was in jail at O wentown, awaiting g execution. He made confession, not only of the crime of which he hal been convicted, but of participation in the killing of the missing Bealy James, He declared that five men, whom he named, and one of whom was the boys father, had joined him in the murder. MT. James fed, but the four others were hanged by mob. That was in 1874 Bealy James has now turned up alive, having been wanderer in the far West during the time he was supposed to be dead
