LONDON, May 13.-Ths Times says.
The conclusion Of the Ministerial state
msnt relative to Tunis. made In the
French Chamber yesterday. will DO re-
osivsd throughout Europe with unmi1sd
amazsmsnt. Every political section in
England agrees that the reasons for the
expedition advanced BY the French Min.
lister OF Foreign Affairs arc the msrest
pretsxts and the real reasons, which the
latter part OF his circular revealed, arc
unworthy OF any State that processes to
be guided In It's international relations
by ordinary rules OF morality. II would
DO idle to pretend that the action Of
France will not weaken the sympathy
and friendship entertained toward En-.
gland. In all the difacult negotiations
which marked the concluding stages Of
the Eastern question England received
NO help from France. The Greek quss-
ton was dangerously compromised BY
her Withdrawal at . critical stage. Tho
new tarif Is Justly regarded with great
d~isiavor. We sincerely hope that diplo-
matte and commercial friction OF this
kind will not lead to permanent an.
frisndliness between the two countries;
but there Is no denying that France has
done herself harm with English public
opinion BY the Tunis affair. II IL not .
feeling Of jealousy. commercial or politi.
cal, that produces this result. bat one OF
concern that q nation which should have
entered upon Q better path should allow
itself to be hurried by fancied CONNER
cial interests into q course not In accord.

Notwithstanding the apparent fact
that the organization OF the Nihilists In

il very numerous and extensive. and
that all we're participants or accomplicss

only q few Of the immediate psrpe-

CACTUS urILlrY.

An item has recently been going the
rounds Of the papers to the effect that .
really great discovery has been made.
whereby the common cactus growing on
the arid deserts in this State. Arizona
and elsewhere on the great American
continent can b utilized for agricultu-
raj purposes In very ingenious and
novel manner. It vas simply this A
man. just BY way Of experiment, inserted
cuttings from some vines into the trunks
Of the cactus plants, and the result was
that the vines grew forth q luxuriously
q on the most fruitful land. and this
without cultivation or watering. Not
only did he succeed In raising Ans
grapes, but he also found that melons.
tomatoes and eueumbsrs could b grown
on the cactus. That hitherto much
abused plant may nov prove n Of the
greatest blessings Of man. and the arid
and sandy desert nsy.yst become more
productive than the rich. wsll.watsrsd
prairie.
II this Be true. Il 10 good enough. and
there will BE- NO difficulty hereafter In
making the desert 10 not only blossom
like the rose. but to yield all sorts Of
fruits In abundance with little or no
trouble or expense. Jsst think Of Ass.
oranges and tomstoss growing luxuri-
sntly on . cactus foundation. In the dry.
sandy dsssrts. and not requiring any
irrigation. It 10 almost too good to be
true.
