The Election OfDeputies-The Move
menIs In Africa.

LONDON, July 25-The Paris correspon-
dent of the Times, discussing the probable
Fastening of the general elections for mem
bers of the Chamber of Deputies, says that
by Fastening the elections the government
fulflls the two-fold object of giving any
occasion for the untoward events in Africa
to be made capital Of by its adversaries,
and of obtaining at an early date newly
elected Chamber in condition to pursue
its long dated policy without exposure to
the agitation and uncertainties of the ap-
preaching election.
The Gazette de France. Leeitimist organ,
accuses the government of desiring to get
the general election over with so as to be
able to send 100, 600 men TO Africa in the
autumn to foment war in Tripoli.
The Dl1 NeltVienie Steele, which IS habitu-
ally an ardent supporter OF the govern
ment, begs the Ministers to pause and con-
slider the damaging effects of their decision
on public opinion. at the intention to
hurry on the elections is persevered in" It
says, 'tthe people may be brought to believe
the croakings of the Gazette de France"
The correspondents of the London papers
think the explosion against the short notice
given will force the Ministers to reconsider
their resolution.
A disDatch from Tunis to Reuters Tele
gram Company says: "Further reinforce
ments, numbering 1900 men, from France,
arrived at Goletta, and have been conveyed
to the neighborhood of Sfax. Seventy four
Arab prisoners from Sfax have started for
TouloL."
A Tunis dispatch says a telegram from
Mascara states that Chief Bou Amena has
sent in two guns and horses In token Of
submission.
A telegram from Algeria states that Bou
AmenA's prestige is falling off, and that the
natives assert that after an incursion into
Morocco he will return home for good.

LONDON, July 25.-The Mark Lane Express,
in its review of the British corn trade for
the past week, says: "All the crops have
been checked by the change to cool tenn
perature and cloudy and showery weather.
Under the forcing influence of the excep-
tioual heat wheats have made fortnight's
progress during the week. Before the close
OF the present week the harvest will have
commenced all over the country, and should
the weather continue dry a large por-
tion of the crop will be thrashed
from the fields without stacking.
Rid mGggots are alar1linely prevalent
In some districts. Native wheat is SO scarce
that the fresh supply is regarded somewhat
curiously. Prices were firm, aud top quo
tations were sometimes exceeded for the
best samples. Attempts to enhance the
rates for other kinds proved abortive. In
the foreign trade there was firm tone.
Millers will not advance prices, which
are unchanged, except for certain
grades, which have fractionally i'm
proved. Sellers, however, are firm
in their demands, which are sustained
by the moderate supply. 1t may be taken
for granted that the American exportable
surplus is only secondary consideration in
the present frmness OF the trade. Whilst
speculative prices in America have been
advancing the rates here we're stationary on
account of the scarcity. British millers
think to buy cheaper than at
New York prices. During the week
trade has been slow on spot, but prices
were maintained. The floating bulk was
decreased 90, 1000 quarters during the week.
Country -four was scarce In London. The
best makes sell easily at full rates. Foreign
was in small supply, ard assisted sellers.
Maze on spot was firm at unchanged rates.
Everything else was unchanged. Sales Of
English wheat during the week were
1858 quarters, at 46;. l0d. per quarter,
against II, ,702 quarters, at ABS. Cd. per quar-
ter, fer the corresponding week last year." !"

A SHE'LL EXPLODED by LIGHTNING -
On last Wednesday afternoon, during q
sudden thunder storm, a lightning bolt
struck large pine tree in a field belong
ing to Mr. S. G. B. Faulkner, who re-
sides about eight miles from Richmond,
in Hanover county. At the time Mr..
Faulkner and number of hands were
working near by. The report was sharp
and loud, and shocked several of the
men. Mr.. Faulkner noticed that the tree
was set on fire by the lightning, and
sent hands to clear away the brush to
prevent the fire spreading to bis fencing.
About twenty minutes after the
tree was struck another loud and deafen
ing report was heard in the tree, and on
examination it was ascertained that the
fire had communicated with shell which
was lodged in the tree during the war.
The tree was somewhat shattered from
the explosion of this old companion, and
the bushes near by were cut down by
the fragments. No one knew of the
shell being in the tree. This is most
singular occurrence, and probably the
first where shell was exploded by
lightning. Richmond WAiq.

SWORN TO KILL THE CZAR.
A Startling story of NihiIIst Determi-
nation Reported from ST. Peters
burg.

A st. Petersburg correspondent tele-
graphs under date of 21st instant fresh
particulars concerning the recent plot
laid to assassInate the Gar. M. Baron
off, the Chief of Police, had received an
anonymous letter stating that on the 18th
of July the Emperor of Russia was to be
assassinated. The letter contained moth
ing more. Baronoff made inquiries in
every direction, and ascertained that a
young student had committed suicide
under extraordinary circumstances, the
man having first run himself through
with his sword without injuring a
vital part, and having then lodged bull
let with his revolver in his
left temple and finding him
self still alive, fired again in his other
temple and in the gaping wound made
by the sword. This determined suicide
awakened M. Barono.fs suspicious. He
found the man apparently dead, but, in
fsct, still breathing and in swoon. M.
Barono1, by the aid of the doctors,
caused the student to come to his senses
and to speak. The student declared that
he had formed part cf a secret society of
twentyINihilists, who had all sworn to kill
the Emperor. They had drawn lots and
it had fallen to his lot to carry
out the plan of assassination
on the 18th of July. Nineteen
daggers were suspended over his head,
and his brother Nihilists swore to kill
him if he showed the slightest hesitation,
but Notwithstanding this threat his
heart failed him, and he resolved to die
by his own hand. Before committing
suicide he had written to M. Baronof,
with the conviction that one of his fel-
low-conspirators would Immediately take
his place. The student lived until the
18th of July. Before breathing his last
he revealed the names of his nineteen
brother Nihilists, who have been all Sc
cured by the police.

CLANS may be had as large as small

color and extremely delicate flavor cling
in profusion to the rocks. The absence
of vegetables may be noted, the climate
being unsuitable to the growth of any

Several new cases of attempts to rob
letter carriers in the streets of German
and Austrian cities are reported. The
feasibility of this species of robbery
seems to have been brought to the atten-
ton of the crimlnally inclined by the
attempts previously made and pub
ished, and the postal regulation requir-
ing carriers to 60 armed with revolvers
does not appear to operate as sufficient
deterrent. The idea of giving carriers
only ordinary letters to distribute, and
requiring the persons addressed to call
at the post Office for such as are valua
BILE. has been suggested, and is finding
favor.

is now nearly past. Pyemia generally mani
tests itself before the end OF the
fourth week, II at all. We have no especial
reason to apprehend it IN this case, and
there certainly has been no indication OF It
as yet"
Dr. Bliss attention was then called to the
fact that five of the employees of the Exec
utive Mansion are suffering from malarial
fever, or from malaria in some of its forms,
due to the condition of the Potomac flats
below the city, and the question was asked
him whether the President were
not to some extent similarly affect
ed, and whether the apparent
periOdicity of the afternoon fever did not
indicate a malarial influence. He replied
that no symptoms of malaria had been OBJ
served in the Presidents case, and that the
regular recurrence of his rigor between 3 D.
m. and midnight is due to other causes.
Surgical fever is always highest in the after
noon and evening and lowest in the morn
ing.
"About ten grains of qninine," ne added,
"had been given to the President daily for
two weeks past, but this had been done
rather to tone up his nervous system than
to counteract any supposed Influence Of
malaria"
