The New York Tribune discusses the ques
ton, what should be done with Frank
James, in rather q sarcastic vein, intimating

The emigration of Italians to South Am
erica, and especially to La Plata, is large.
Each year there land at Montevideo about
1900 Of these emigrants, and it seems al
most an Italian colony to q recent traveller,
the boatmen, the porter and the hotel keep
ers being largely Of that nationality. Dur
ing the last few years 600 Italians have
gone to Buenos Ayres each week, at Rio
Jsneiro the census of 1879 showing the land
ing of $4,000 emigrants, of whom $500 were
Italians.
According to the Monroe Miss.) Bulletin, all
the cotton fields east of the Ouachita river
were devastated by the worms last week.
All the cotton fields west of the Ouschita
for a stance offOur miles suffered the same
fate, but there the worms came toa g. and.
The imaginary line was an insurmountable
barrier, even If it ran through the middle
Of field, leaving one-half in strings and
the other in native luxuriance. The cold
weather might be satisfactory reason II IL
were not for the fact that beyond the line
there has been no miller or caterpillar dur
ing the summer.

Among the passengers who arrived in
Hagerstown, Nd, upon the early train of
| the Western Maryland Railroad from
Waynesboro few mornings since were two
Mormon missionaries, who have been ope-
rating among the citizens of Thomastown,
Franklin county, Pa. They were accom-
panied from that place to Wsynesboro by
| number OF the male converts, who promised
shat they would move with their wives to
Utah at an early date. The object OF the
visit of these missionaries to HagerstOwn is
not known, but it is supposed to be In the

An important feature In the price of cot
ton is the effect Of cheap cotton In extend
ing production. The London Economist says
that the best customers for cotton goods are
found among the poorest nations, and that
high price for the raw material checks pro-
duction. Great Britain exports fully nine
tenth Of the cotton goods which she manu-
features, and more than half of that total
finds its way to the East good decline
in the raw material would trouble some OF
the manufacturers who are we'll stocked up,
but in the end it would stimulate manufac-
turing very decidedly.

the session, which was called forth by a
proposition to sell the Brooklyn navy yard
property. As fOreible argument put in
the fewest possible words Mr.. Starln's
| speech is seldom equaled. He said: "Mr.
Speaker, am not familiar with all of your
rules here, and l do not know whether or
not 1 am in order, but you have property
here which you are going to sell for $780,,
| 600, and | will at this moment draw my
check for it for 100000" The bill was
killed.
One of the "3O6' Grant stalwarts, who
Endorsed Folger and Fraud, was so enrsged
at Mr.. Beecher's recent denunciation of the
Saratoga Convention that he wrote to the
Brooklyn preacher as follows:
'sDEAR Mr.. BEECHER-You made an ass
of yourself yesterday. AMOS F. LARNED."
Mr.. Beecher lost no time in replying to
this candid II uncourteous epistle. He
wrote:
"DEAR SIR-The Lord saved you the trou-
bic of making an ass Of yourself by making
| YOU an ass at the beginning-and his work
stands sure. HENRY WARD BEEoHER."
The correspondence, it is said, terminated
with Mr.. Beecher's reply.
A prominent New York electrician, in
speaking Of the use that could be made of

war, says: "suppose had in a fort steam
fire engine, with hose that would throw a
stream Of water quarter Of an inch in
diameter three hundred feet. Now, II l
had one end of a Brush machine grounded
| and the other end connected with the water
passing through the hose, the very instant
the stream of water struck line Of troops
that were advancing to attack the fort 1t
would kill them. The stream would then
be really flexible electric wire, and as 1t

them down like grass. II a thousand men
were to march up in solid body they could
all be killed in ten seconds. It would be
absolutely impossible to take the fort. 1t
could be used with equally terrible effect in
naval warfare"
The feeling between England and Ireland
is nowhere more strongly apparent than in
the army. the greatest difficulty being ex
perIenced to preserve discipline in many
cases. At Chatham couple Of weeks o
a military riot occurred which for a time
assumed very serious aspect. The Royal
Irish and a portion of the Warwickshire
regiments being quartered close to each
other fell to lighting. Several hundred men
were engaged, ana though most OF them
were unarmed they maze vigorous use of
such chance weapons as came to hand. The
officers of both regiments made resolute
efforts to quell the disturbance, but without
success In fact the officers were hustled
unceremoniously into the mess-room, where
they soon fell into a disagreement among
themselves. The riot continued until de-
tachment of another regiment was brought
up under arms and dispersed the combat
ants. The wounded were sent to the hos
pital and the worst of the belligerents were
locked up In the guardhouse.
About the end of this month a great 20
Iitical battle will be fought in Prussia. Elec-
tions are to be held for the Lantag or Cham
Der of Deputies. All parties are vigorously
at work. Bismarck is fidgety, for he recog-
nizes the possibility Of a popular verdict
against his unyieldiDg, imperial policy. The
latest advices from Berlin indicate that his
fears are well founded. The star of Liber-
slism is IN the ascendant. In the last Ian
tag the Liberals had 145 members. A gain
of rs will give them a msjority. At first
blush it would seem rather improbable that
such a Change could be effected; but 1t
is said they expect even q greater gain.
