the balk-line tournament before a large
audience. The game was of special conse-
quence, as, if Slosson won it, he captured a
big pile of money, while should Vignaux
win there would still be u chance to tie all
round, if Schaefer beat Sl0sson in the next
game. The game occupied one hour and
ffty-fve minutes. The feeling now is that
Vignaux has underplayed in practice, and
that he is unquestionably the greatest bill
lard player on earth. Following is the
score:

Parnell issued a manifesto to the Irish
voters of Great Britain. He urges them to
vote with the Conservatives in the coming
election.
Parnell ordered reelection in Dundalk
for delegates to the Nationalist convention
of the South because the former delegates
were in favor of Callan for Member of Par

Ian delegates by majorities of five to one.
Parnell's candidate is Joseph Nolan, man.

Congo country is worthless and is likely to
remain so for years. The Ogowai is not
navigable, and railways must be built be-

appearance itself tells an eloquent tale about
the climate of the Congo. His health has
been shattered by fever and the abuse OF
quinine. His cheeks are haggard and his
eyes have glaring and wolfish expression.

Our previous figures showed an average
weekly export trade of $57 900, or an an
nual total of nearly SO, OOO, 600. The month
of October gives a marked advance on these
figures, averaging about $4,000 q week
and over $4,000, 900 for the year. Compar-
ing this with the total imports at the Islande
during 1884, "a, 600, 900, it shows that near
ly seventy per cent of their trade is with
San Francisco alone. This leaves the re-
naming thirty per cent to be divided among
Eastern and other Pacific ports of the United
States, Great Britain, Germany, the Colo
MES, China, France, and Islands in the
Pacific. This is plain proof of the value
of this trade to California. In this con-
nection Brddstreet's of 9TH inst. says:
"Since the creation of Hawaiian Consul
Generalship at San Francisco, the new ap-
pointee to that Office has kept record of
all exports to the Islands, whether by sail

IN THE BALKANS.
Continued Advance OF the SeFvIan
Army Into Bulgaria.

General Topalovitch, with a Moravian
division, had a desperate battle with the
Bulgsrians at Tru, and the latter were
totally defeated. The Servians fought
with great gallantry and captured two guns
and many prisoners. Three battaliOns OF
Bulgarians surrendered. A battalion OF
Bulgarian volunteers, stationed at a point
on the Timok river, capitulated without
firing a gun to Colonel Djnknitch, COM
handing the Servian Tomak division. The
Bulgarians evacuated their fortified posi-
ton at Dragoman. Details of the capture
of the Dragoman pass by the Servisns show
that the Drina and Shumaliga divisions,
under CoIonels Michkovitch and Benecky
were engaged and attacked the Bulgarians
in force, completely routing them. Hordes
of Bulgarians laid down their arms, being
panic-strieken. Several guns were capt
ured and the pass abandoned
The Serviap division marching on Wild
din gave battle to the Bulgarians near Wild
din and inflicted upon them q crushing de-
feat. The loss was heavy on both sides.
The Servians captured 1000 prisoners.
The Servians have occupied all the posi-
tons on the Dragoman pass and have cap
tured the village of Dragoman. King

sERvIA's PLANS.
| .EServia has decided to annex the Bulgarian
| area of the Continental Railroad, which
will enable Servia to complete her line OF
railway; also the Widdin district, 80 that
she can construct a railway to the lower
Danube by Chupria, Zsittahan and Widdin
to meet the projected Roumanian railway
from Krajova to Kalafat. Travellers report
that the Bulgarians are hopelessly depress-
ed and expect the Servians to enter Sophia
| forthwith. There are only two battalions
of Bulgarian infantry at Widdin.
! A FORMIDABLE ARMY.
| The present Servian order of battle is as
| follows: Colonel Benecky with the Shu-
NADIA division has assembled the Luknalska
stream and is approaching SliOnitza. Col,
onel Mickovitch with his force has reached
/ the Gentzi pass, en- route to Sliontza. Gen
eral Govovich with large force is in Drag
oman pass. Colonel Djunnitch is at Kny-
ozevatz with the reserves. General Lesh-
| ianin remains at Kiola, which he has cap
tured. Colonel Topalovitch with his force
is at Yon and is going to Brasmk, whence
he will cross by direct route to Slavinitza.
Each marching division numbers 10000
men. The Bulgarians are concentrated al

F. N. Walton, Secretasy-DEAR SIR:
You will see my estimate of coming crop is

good crops.
Ia regard to expenses by my monthly

October l. 1884, to October 1, 1885. $780,

all our work done in good shape, and alarge
crop to take care of, our expenses are go
ing down. / had calculated our expenses
the past year at $4,000 per month, but
did not know of getting some Japanese.
which cost us $25, 900; so you see / was
pretty near it. There were two months
this last year which were high-November
$780, 81, and January $93, 003 81. In
November, besides taxes, is about $14, 900
for railroad material, and in January we
paid Chinese contractors for cultivating
cane, balance due, $50, 600. Now there
are none of these items for next year, as
we have all the railroad material we want,
and We cultivate all our own cane and set
tie up with our Cinnamon every month
We have all the locomotives and cars we
want our railroad all laid and our camps
ali built, and when the new steel gear
wheels, cargoes of redwood lumber and
coal. now on the way, are paid for we have
nothing but ordinary running expenses
that 1 can think of. Yours respectfully,

port on the sugar received during the year.
OF the whole crop 80 per cent was No. /,
which averaged polarization at96.5 per cent
of sugar. The standard of polarization on
which the sugar is purchased being 81 de-
grees, and the company receiving an adj
vance of one-eighth cent for every degree

quality of this years sugar results in an
advance of more than half cent pound.

INTHE HOUSE BEAUTIFUL.

Owing to the prevalence of fancy candle
sticks there is brisk demand for the little
rounds of glass to place around the bottom
to prevent the wax from falling. These come
in many new and pretty varieties in bright
colored glass to match the candles used with
them. A design for the card-table consists
of a number of little cards.
Very snowy and novel are the portieres of
the principal doorway which leads to the
entrance hall off Fifth-avenue house. They
are made of black satin aud are covered with
japanese embroidery in gold thread.
A decided novelty for the table is now
displayed in the shape of little wooden
clothes-pins, ebonized and painted in some
bright design, and which are intended to
take the place of napkin rings, the edge be-
ing stuck into them. They come in sets of
six, each one having different design
on it.
Plain flannel and cashmere house robes
and jackets are now trimmed with the new
worsted lace with excellent effect. and one
advantage of this kind of trimming over
other decorations is that when it becomes
necessary to have the gown washed the yak
lace will do up and look as we'll after the
self.
A pretty house dress for a young lady is
of olive green cashmere. The sateen foun-
dation skirt is covered from top to bottom
with Looping bias folds of the cashmere.
With this is worn round waist with an
added basque skirt that is plain in front and
pleated in the sides and back. The waist
has velvet revers and a diagonal drapery,
and is completed by velvet belt terminal
ing long bow.

Brutus, to reveal to her the plot of Caesars

the scene, in this instance, was imbued with
human interest. Louis James was the Bru-
