Iected as its victim the only boy, the pct Of

made. A loved daughter and sister was
stricken by "the fell destroyer" aud in few
days her suferings were ended by DEATH
Severe as are these repeated Affections we
mourn not without hope. Estelle's dying

Davis. His speech was marked by con-

that the old reprobate is no more recon

Among other things he said:
They who now sleep in the grave can
not be benefited, it is true, by anything
we may do; their cause has gone before
q higher tribunal than any earthly judy
ment-seat, but their children and chill
dren's children are to be benefited by
preserving the record of what they did,
and, more than all, by the moral with
which they did it. AS for mel speak

WASHINGTON, May 3.-The special

the issuance of the following proclama-
ton by the president:
WHEREAS, 1t is provided in the laws
of the United States that whenever, by
reason of unlawful Instructions, COM
binatiOns or assemblages of persons in
rebellion against the authority of the
government of the United States, it
shall become impracticable IN the
judgment of the president To enforce by
the ordinary course of proceedings the
laws of the United States, within any
state or territory, it shall be lawful for
the president to call forth the
militia of any or all the states and
to employ such parts of land and
naval forces of the United States as he
may deem necessary to enforce the faith
full execution of the laws of the United
States, or to suppress such rebellion in
whatever state or territory thereof, the
laws of the United States may be for
chilly opposed or the execution thereof
forcibly INSTRUCTED. and
WHEREAS, It has been made to appear
satisfactorily to me by information re-
ceived from the governor of the terrific
~ OF ARIZONA and from the general of
the army of the United States, and
through other reliable sources, that in
consequence o. unlawful combinations
of evil disposed persons whO are banded
together to oppose and obstruct the oper-
alton of the laws, it has become I'M
practicable to enforce by ordinary
course of judicial proceedings the laws
of the United States within that terrific
ry, and the laws of the United States
have been therein fOrclbly opposed and
execution thereof forcibly resisted; and
WHEREAS, The laws of the United
States require that whenever it may be
necessary in the judgment of the presi-
dent to use the military forces tor the
purpose of enforcing faithful execution
of the laws of the United States, he
shall forthwith, by proclamation, CON-
mand such insurgents to disperse and
retire peaceably to their respective
abodes within a limited time.
Now, therefore, l, Chester A. Arthur,
President of the United States. do here
by admonish all citizens of the United
States and especially of the territory of
Arizona against aiding and abetting or
taking part in any such unlawful pro-
ceedings and do thereby warn all per,

Prof. Riley, the entomologist of the
agricultural bureau at Washington,
makes some interesting statements about
the propagation of the common house
fly. The eggs are laid in decomposing
vegetation. They hatch in twenty-four
hours, and in about ten days, more or
less, the time varying with the season
and temperature, they are full fedged
and ready to dine with you. From
which the inference is that if premises
are rid of decomposing matter they will
furnish no inviting places for depositing
larve, and so be free from the nuisance.
The most watchful care cannot prevent
the presence of flies in the summer time,
and many are the devices for destroying
them. One of the best and most agree
able plans is to cultivate geraniums in
the windows. There will be no need of

The future great competitor of Amer
lea for the wheat market of Western Eu-
rope is British India. The Californians
are more alive to this fact than "West
ern" wheat farmers The San Francis
co Chronicle, speaking of this compe-
tition says:
But, while India cannot be accused of
any extreme effort to bear the worlds
wheat market, she has very largely in
creased her exports, and in that way has
ably seconded the efforts of California,
shipping last year tue respectable guam
tity of SO, 774 ,912 bushels, compared with
10, 1877 ,440 bushels the year before, and
promising to do still better during the
present year. India has suddenly wheel
ed into line as the third largest wheat
exporter, ranking next to the United
States and Russia. Her exportfquantity
which is estimated at 10, 600, 900 bushels
this season, it is thought may in few
years reach 100000, 900 bushels, unless
one of her periodical famines should &C.
cur in the meantime. So long as India
isa dependency of Englandlshe must con
tinue large exporter of raw material
and if she finds wheat to pay better than
cotton, or even than rice, she is sure to
increase its cultivation, what ever risks
she may run with regard to the sup
| ply of food for her own population
The Suez canal and the change from
sail to steam have, by bringing India
much closer to Europe, given an in
| creased impulse to her export move
ment, and made her a greater competi
tor than formerly to this country.

The next contested seat in congress is
that of Lowe, Greenbacker, against
Wheeler, Bourbon, for the Eighth dis
trict of Alabama. The committee has
reported that the Greenbacker was fair
ly elected, and was then cheated out of
his certificate by the BourbOns. The
Wheeler inspectors, when counting the
votes in 1880, threw out those Lowe bal
lots which had printed on them figures
showing the district of the presidential
elector. By this and other devices they
gave General Wheeler majority of for
ty-three. 1t goes almost without saying
that the construction which the Wheeler
inspectors put upon the statute which
declares that the ballots shall be without
ANY figures, marks, rulings" or the
like, is most narrow and constrained.
If the legislature of Alabama intended
this, it must be that it meant TO impair
the integrity of the legal voting power
of the state, instead of securing it in its
proper rights. And in that case the law
is probably unconstitutional. The sub
committee finds that Colonel Lowe is
entitled to his seat by 743 majority.
