q LONDON, April lS.-The message OF EN-
peror William 10 the Reichstag, calling for
legislation in the interest OF the working
classes, excites as much uneasiness here in
official circles as at Berlin, for the reason,
1t Is believed, to be inspired by distrnst OF
the existing Government of France, and 10
cover the military progress, which will GER
tainly be carried out upon The first symp.
toms Of serious political disturbances In
France. | have 1t on the best authority
that under orders from Berlin fortnight
ago, six divisions OF German Imperial Cav
airy and ionr army corps have been got
into readiness to cross the French frontier
in three days time. Some OF the Socialist
leaders OF Germany appear inclined to cut
out work nearer home for this force, by
provoking overt disturbances among the
German working classes; but as any such
attempt would be disastrous to the people.
1t is not likely it will be made. The real
danger in Europe at this moment Is at
Paris, where the men in authority seem to
be entirely incapable Of understanding the
danger to which they are exposing, not
only the peace Of the Continent, but the
very existence Of their own country.
BERLIN, April lS.-The Nord Dietuche Zsi-

by France, which would soon be made, as
under certain conditions the restored mon
archy could probably be induced to de-
clare war on Germany without warning.

THRRE Is no scarcity Of skilled labor in
this country competent to do the work OF
the cotton mills, and when operatives are
imported IN batch, as those just brought
over for Fall River, 1t must be because they
are glad to come here for lower wages than
our own operatives demand. We invite
everybody, Chinese excepted, to this coun-
try, but when laborers are brought over in
bulk 1t savors too much OF the
coolie system to strike Americans with
favor. The device may serve the Fall
River corporations for present emergency,
but the success. Of such move can only be
temporary. The new comen will soon
want to live as other operatives live in Fall
River, and they will soou want market
wages. This Is one OF the things not pleas
ant to see but which soon right themselves.
Even the despised Chinamsn has begun to
have aspirations to want market price. and
occasionally to make trouble II he don't
got It. The English operative is soon Amer
icauizsd, aud then he wants American
wages and American living. ~.

Raxare. ar Ihe anfrhln Gnnt,

LITTLE Rock, ARK, April ls.-Advices
have been received here from Desha coun-
ty, in this State, to the effect that one-ofthe
plaques Of the South, the buffalo Rnat, is
doing an unprecedented amount Of damage.
The destruction Of unprotected horses,
mules and cattle Is fearful. In the bottom
lands OF Desha and Chicol counties II Is
positively dangerous to even drive stock Of
any kind through them, as the gnats are
there by the million. In the vicinity Of
Chicol City on two plantations six horses
and mules have been killed by them. In
Bolivar county, Mississippi, directly across
the river from here, nearly one hundred
mules have been killed by the pests. The
Miller plantation, in the same county, has
also lost a great many hosses and mules.
This year the painters in the counties
named consider the damage done by the
gnats as great as that done by the overflow.
