about eighty-six miles from Washington, and
the site of the birthplace of the father of his
country. The estate, comprising twenty acres,
is a portion of the landed property owned
by the grandfather of Washington. whose
remains, with those of Washington's father
and several uncles, lie in a dilapidate1
tomb on the ground recently purchased.
Congress has appropriated $4,000 to
mark the site of the house where Washing
ton was born. The design adopted 10y the
secretary of state calls for monumental
building twenty feet square and about thirty

COMMISSIONER PRICE has taken steps to
prevent a contemplated prize-fght in the In
dian Territory ON September 10 between
Slade and Mitchell, of Australia and England
respectively. 1t was said that this selection
had been made because there would not be
any local interference and that it was believed
the United States laws would not be found
to avail against the proposed encounter.

allied to the story he wrote at once to j. G..
Tufts, the United States Indian agent at Mus
cogee, Indian Territory, directing him to pre-
vent the fight taking place at all hazards.

Known.
A Chicago dispatch says; A grand sight
was witnessed last night in the harbor. The
largest grain-laden feet which ever cleared in
a single day from this port, and comprising
twenty-seven crafts propellers and schooners,
sailed for various ports on Lake Erie and
Lake Huron. The feet carried away 800
600 bushels of grain, principally wheat and
corn. and also many tons of sundries. The
total clearances of the day were thrice that
number of vessels. but the above mentioned
constituted the great grain fleet. The tug
boats did not cast off the last boat out until
early this morning and the entire waterscape
formed beautiful panorama of moving
crafts until the white sails disappeared to the
northeastward like a covey of sea gulls in the
snray.

the French may do this was one factor in
the decision of Queensland to act as she

was believed to have been sent for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the defensive strength

By the latest kilograms we notice that the
scheme for the annexation of the New Hebrides
TO the Australian Colonies, which has been hotly
advocated in Australia, will have to be given up.
In a late issue this matter was discussed in the
GAZETTE and it was then pointed out that some
Treaty difficulties between England and France
lay in the way. Lately in the House of Lords,
Lord Granville, Foreign Secretary, stated that
both England and France would respect the agree
ment which had been in force for some time, not
10 annex the New Hebrides.

THE following comment in exchange upon
Count de Chambord Henry V. of France. accord,
ing to divine right, is sharp, to the point and
shows the spirit of the present age:
'Those who are born in royal families to a sue
cession' soace themselves with the possession OF
an imaginary sceptre when the real insignia OF
power Is beyond their reach. They understand OF
should understand, that the divine right of kings
in this progressive age is scoffed at that thrones
have only the tolerance of the people for the tenure
of their existence. and that imperial dominion
once lost is seldom regained. In this light the pre-
tensions of the Count de ChambOrd, as related IN
the following anecdote, will excite a smile: Not
long before his assassination, Car Alexander H.
expressed desire to meet the Comte de Cham
bord, and sent him, by distinguished messenger
an autograph letter to that effect, saying, 1 am
EmperGr and you king. Each of US may ad'
vance half way TO meet the other" The Comit
de Chambord read the letter thoughtfully, ther
rose and said TO the envoy who brought 1t, " II Hls
Majesty the Emperor comes 10 see me IN my house
he will be cordially and royalty entertained but
cannot go ont of my house TO meet him. 1t woulC
be against tradition for king of France to go ou
of his way for any other sovereign" Where nov

You have probably learned ere this of the disaster
which overlook my friend, Mr.. McCieoch, the OBJ
stinate Scotch speculator in lard, at Chicago.
That gentleman endeavored to buy all the July
delivery lard in the narket-In short, to corner
that particular commodity. He had succeeded in
advancing the price of lard to figures all out of
proportion to the value of the article and the
little fellows as the outside brokers and their
customers are called who had contracts to furnish
July lard, 'laid down" and Mr.. McGeoch in
glofiously went to pieces-failed. His nominal
liabilities amounted TO $6,OO0,00O but in reality to
about 81 10000. This he has since been trying to
compromise at a small figure. Here one secs in
miniature (or life size), the logical result of g
gantic Inonopolistic operations, number of
other brokers on the 'long' side of the lard mar
ket failed for sums ranging from $4,000 to
500 600, but they were purely speculative DIS
asters they can in wise be said to affect general
trade In fact it was most healthful occurrence
the grand smash was-as it brought prices
down again and enabled foreign buyers and the
home trade as well to do what they had not done
for month before, buy to supply the Legitimate,
consumptive demand.

We have reached point where the Gov
ernment of the country has fairly become
a l,y word a laughing stock. 1t IS, how
ever. no laughing matter, for large prop
qrty interests are jeopardized by the con
dition OF affairs To have Government
held in the contempt it IS TO have the
disconten! Of the whole thinking portion
of the community famed daily more and
more into flame, is a very serious matter
indeed. A solution must be reached soon.
What that solution must be all thinking
men are agreed upon. Many people say
that any change must be for the better,
that matters cannot be worse than they
have been. This is true enough, but If
this country Is to progress, if confidence Is
to be thoroughly restored, the change
must not be slight, it must be radical.
We want no more shufliing of the cards,
such as we had on Monday, and the eX-
changing of one weak aud unpopular
ministry for another only slightly less un
fit. Wewant and must have men of talent,
Of strength of Will and above all of sterling
integrity. This the country demands and
it will never rest satisfied until It has what
1t requires
