A THOROUGH change is anticipated soon
in the British cabinet. The secretary of
war, CuupERs, it is understood is to be.
come chancellor of the exchequer, and
dixie and the EARL or DERBY are to be-
come cabinet ministers instead of under
secretaries, as at present. Ii is rumored
also that ossibly GLADSTONE will resign and
the MARQUIS OF HARRINGTON will become
premier. The changes suggested, should
they occur, will not exert any appreciablc
influence upon the policy of the govern
ment, as those who are to retire and those
who are to be promoted are of the same
party and entertain tie same political

are so many members of both parties who
are opposed at heart to civil service reform
that there is very littleprospect ofanything

members may be. If the men who have
been sent up to Washington, however, to

their political futures have been already

demanded, and if not enacted woe be unto
them politically to whose negligence the

SOME of the Ohio politicians who are ill.,

vote at Columbus will be driven to the cor

thing. by the time a man struggles for a

a contest in the house, he must feel that he

The other railroad men are very reticent.

The recent report of the secretary of the
navy discloses the fact that we are still on
the high seas, and that foreign nations had
better not be too keen to attack us. The
secretary says we have one available cruis-
ing war vessel of the first rate, the Tonnes
see. With this powerful protector loafng
around in the vicinity of our ports, what
have we to fear from the outside world?
Those who have been decrying the elf
cheney of the American navy ought to be
ashamed of themselves.

of commerce, the house committee on COM

A curious case came before the Liverpool
county court recently. A pawnbroker was
sued for the value of two coats which the
plaintiff had pawned, and which had been
injured by mice eating away the pockets.
IL having been proved that crumbs had
been lett In the pockets, 1t was held that
the mice had beer attracted by them, and
that tho owner had been guilty of ICON
,ribu'ory negligence" and so the pawn
broker triumphed.

STEVENS COUNTY FAIR.
Complete aud Correct List of Premiums as
Atrarded by tie Management Of the
Stevens Co. agricultural Society.

The fair was the principal feature Of in
terest last week and continued through
Thursday and Friday. The weather was
all that could be desired. Two tents were
erected by Messrs Taisy and Dragoo, one
of which, during the two days, contained
a creditable display Of garden vegetables.
corn and grain, while in the other could be
seen numerous, excellent specimens of the
handiwork of the ladies. Stalls were
erected to contain the stock upon exhibi-
bition, and in them were to be seen some
fine horses, colts, cattle and sheep. Tho
exhibit showed plainly that Stevens county
farmers are giving stock raising much
more of their attention than ever before.
During the first day the attendance was
not large, and the trotting and running
races were the items of greatest interest.
Upon Friday, however. people from all
parts of Stevens county came pouring in,
and many were present from adjoining
counties, making the number present quite
large, and considerable enthusiasm was
manifested. A glass ball shooting contes
took place at o'clock, and the running
and trottiEg races which followed kept W
the general interest. The fair, taking int
consideration the crippled financial con-
dition in which our Agricultural Society i
in, was a greater success than many hat
dared TO expect. Following is a list of tn
premiums awarded, for which we are in
debted to w. w. Griswold, secretary o
