It is pleasant to learn from the reports of delegates at the recent international congress at Chur, Switzerland, that socialisrs is on the decline in all parts of the world except France, and in the United States it is particu- larly depressed. The delegate from this country stated that better times had pretty well destroyed the organization by depriving it of its supporters that the journals which several years ago advocated socialistic prin- ciples had either died for want of patronage or were now supporting some more popular doctrine

The great wheat exporters of Russia are becoming alarmed at the tremendous compe- tition they have to encounter. Hungary and the Danubian principalities were the first to appear in the western markets, but the con- struction of railroad to Odessa restored the equilibrium. Then the American competi- tion commenced, and has ruined the inhabit
 ants of the wheat-producing districts of the Muscovite empire. Wheat is abundant in the interior-more SO than for many years past but there is scarcely any connection with the seaboard. The great military railroads run right through the country but there are few feeding lines. The roads and canals and the care of the wheat in transport are in primitiyea state as when Russia had no com petitor in the field. If prompt move is not made by the goyernment-which is scarcely to be expected at present-Russian wheat will soon be driven out of the western mar

which she lived and kept store and post, tfire
She and her children and T. B. Boyle, hor

From telegraph dispatch it appears that
a Favre secondary battery was sent charged
to Glasgow, Scotland, and tested with as
tonishing results by William Thompson

the actual or prospective merits of this ap-

await the arrival Of printed accounts of
what the Glasgow physicists have done
with it and what they observed.
At a regular meeting of the Engineers

more expensive than well-]aid Belgian
blocks having concrete foundations. He
also read brief discussion on the r1etn-
ods OF expressing the scales of maps. Mr..

A correspondent of the Baltimore Su,

slender sticks to facilitate the delcolation,
then placed at intervals all around and be-
meath piece of muslin foot or so square
The muslin is filled with, say, pint of

There is plenty of hurrah in Boston over

depended upon to do anything else. The
worlds fair in Boston involves not only
iberality in subscribing, but hard work,
drudgery, patience under criticism, with
not many thanks for faithful service. We
should not dare to estimate the amount
needed at less than SIS, 900, 900. To raise
that amount of money would require some
thing more than good wishes and hopeful
guesses.
