General Wolseley of the British army,
has arrived in Egypt to take command
of the military expedition up the Nile
for the relief of Khartoum, and it has
been alleged that his Red river expe-
dition in 1870, when he subdued the
Winnipeg rebellion, gave him the ex-
perience necessary to success in Egypt.
General Wolseley's Red river expedition
consisted of four companies of British
regular soldiers, who were transported
to Thunder Bay, at the head of Lake
Superior, in excellent steamboats,.
Their march from there to Winnipeg
was along a fertile country, with good
trails for part of the distance, and nav.
igable lakes and easy portages for the
rest of the way. The march lasted but
twenty or twenty-five days; supplies
were easily carried; they met no resist
ance; the entire hostile force against
which the expedition was directed con.
sisted of but a few hundred French and
Indian half breeds under the command
of Louis Riel, a mere boy in years, and
but little better than a crank in other
respects; they all fed at the approach Of
the little British force. General Wolse-
" has since distinguished himself upon
two occasions, where the difficulties to
be encountered were not very serious.
His present task is surrounded with
great obstacles, but there seems to be
put little doubt of his success among

IN Of Cop. in Foreign Countries

The report of the United States commission
or of agriculture for September has just been
Issued. 1t gives a very interesting report on
the condition of the crops in Europe, India
AID other foreign countries In Europe, as
compared with last year, the barley and OF
acreage have fallen OFF SIS and q per cent re-
spectively. The slight gain of 2A per cent in
wheat has no significance beyond the fine con-
ditiOn of the land In the last sowing season.
In 1888 there was a loss of nearly 400, OC0 acres
on a basis of 1900, O00 in wheat, and the re-
bound this year of 90, 600 acres is but tempo
rary. The tendency to put cultivated into pas
ture lands will be greater than ever this COM
ing year. The highest estimate for wheat is
81 bushels, and the lowest 80, the more careful
estimate keeping within 81. The total pro.
ductioH " 0v,5l6,S17 bushels, the highest
being log, coo, OC0. The commissioner says
with regard to the crop in Great Britain
and Ireland that the results of the
ton. The report of the harvests in Austria,
Hungary, Russia and France are very favor
able. 1t IS estimated in France that ~, 1000 coz
bushels can be imported. A dispatch to on
don from Calcutta expresses the opinion that
India will be able TO export 50. 0O0, 900 bushels
OF wheat to foreign countries this year. The
commissioner observes that the increase of
exports from India from a few hundred thous-
and bushels per annum ten to twenty years
ago, to 81, 1855 bushels in 1S81-S2, and 49,
1887 bushels of sixty pounds for 1SS3-S4, has
excited the attention of the wheat-gTowing coun-
tries. Conditions have not been favorable in
former years for large India exports, mainly
from lack of transportation facilities. The
careless cleaning of the grain and the mixing
of the various kinds, with the resulting de-
terioration in quality has also tended to keep
the price too low for active supply for expor-
tatlon. 1t is now proposed to increase India's
railway facilities, and the home government is
asked to assist in the extension.

Reports of failures are still numerous,
and some of them of great magnitude,
but the general outlook is by no means
Encouraging. In nearly every promi-
nent case, liabilities are so far in excess
Of assets, as to cause wonder why a
failure did not sooner occur. A failure
sooner or later, was inevitable. The
craze for doing a large business on
small capital, and dependence on un-
limited credit-which is apt to fail at
just the time when most wanted-is at
the bottom of nearly all the most dis
Rstrous reverses. Those who conduct
business in a more careful way are not
those who are complaining loudest of the
times. They are comparatively pros
porous, even in seasons when others go

A Nebraska girl writes home from

she says, sis of less consequence here

wages that girls and women would find
necessary. There is mighty little mar
rying and giving in marriage here. The

that they won't encourage a man

The Victim of Richardson.

A western friend of mine now in the
city, told me a singular thing a few days
ago. Said he:
"You know Daniel Mcfarland, the
hero of the sad Richardson tragedy? l
met him at Leadville some three years
ago, a poor waif and rapidly drifting to
the condition of a physical wreck. He
was so poor that I have known him to
be forced to sleep on the floor of one of
the lowest class of Leadville lodging
houses. I talked with him a number
of times. He had wandered all over
the Western states restless and aimless.
He was given to frequent spells of
drinking. On one occasion while in
Kansas City L think he told me he had
occupied a seat in one of the public
halls while his own wife, Abby Sage,
was delivering a lecture. OF course,
she saw him but no sign of recognition
passed between the two"
"Where is Mcfarland now"?I asked.
I'm the cemetery at Leadville," he
replied, sadly. "Remorse, disease and
utter WEAKNESS of life wore him out.
He gave up the fight after a while, and
he is now at rest"
""Tis a sad conclusion to a brilliant
life" said /. mcfarland was once one
of the brightest lawyers at the New
York bar. But such is life"

General Crook was severely criticised
some months ago for demanding thai
his agreement with the rebellious
Apache Indians be complied with, he
assuring the Government authorities
that if that were done the Indians would
become ~peaceable andindustrious. The
Government, after a time, reluctantly
consented to do as he requested, and the
result has been most gratifying. Crook
has treated the Apaches hnmanely, not
withstandtheir ~inhumanity, and as a re-
suit, he says, they are taking a decided
interest in agriculture and stock-raising,
and appear anxious to have their chill
dren educated. He also says in a recent
letter that there is not in the state OF
Pennsylvania a village of the same Bop
ulation more peaceable and aw-abiding
than the 5000 Apaches on the San Car
los Reservation. 1t is greatly hoped
that Crooks policy my soon be extend
ed to the other tribes of American In
dians, and the loss of many lives and
much money thereby saved.
