when the season approached for be-

fastening the movements of their re-

Lessar, to London to make demands
which are simply preposterous and to
which 40 government could venture
to yield. In short they, they have
striven throughout to hoodwink our
ministers and to mislead English
opinion; but they have already i'm
posed more than enough on our

mitted fragrant breach of diplomatic
etiquette, but they have really invaded
Atghanistan. Unless they retire from
the positions, which they never should
have entered, there is little chance Of
averting a hostile collision, for the
English government can never concur
in the violent seizure of districts to
which Russia has not the shadow of a
claim, and some of which are vitality
necessary to the preservation of the
ameer's authority in his kingdom.

The following statistics concerning
the orange trade in France have re-
Gently appeared in a Freuch contem
porary; Fifty years ago France inn
ported only 1000 tons of oranges per
annum, one-third Of which were im~
ported by way of Marseilles. AT that
time the oranges were supplied to
France nearly exclusively by Spain,
But the demand for oranges increased
steadily, so that in 1856 the importa-
ton rose to $4,000 tons, 5000 tons of
which had come by Marseilles. Ten
years later, in 1866, lhe importation
amounted to $4,000 tons, but Mar
settles did not profit by the increase,
as large quantities of oranges were
then imported from Spain by rail.
Since 1879 orange culture has been
developed IN Algeria, and the com
merce of the port of Marselles has re-
ceived a new stimulus, her imports
rising in 1884 to II 600 tons, of which
one-half came from Spain, more than
one-third from Algeria, and the rest
from Italy and other countries. The
total importation of oranges into
France in 1884 amounted to about 80,
600 tons, AZ 600 tons OF which came
from Spain. The imports from Algeria
have risen from Z tons in 1886 to

of foreigners and natives, a memorial
was adopted declaring that the danger
of attack from Buena Vuenta and

is expressed that if furthel attacks are
made from abroad, it will be necessary
to declare the state Independent and
appeal to the great powers for protec~

could ride on it at ono time. Mr..

THE Pacific coast people obtain their
supply of Goldfish from the Chaumo-
gin islands, nine schooners being
about to sail from San Francisco. The
various frns engaged in the trade
have different places, known only to
themselves, to which they annually
send their vessels, and the greatest
care is taken to keep the good fishing
spots a secret for their own benefit.
On every voyage each vessel locates
the best fishing grounds. In some
years the fish are abundant in one
place, and being migratory, are scarce
in the next year. The fleet remains
in Alaska waters from two months
and half to three months, visiting
all the islands along the southern
shore of Alaska. The men leave the
schooners in small boats, and fish
from o'clock IN the morning until 4
o'clock in the afternoon. The great
est obstacle to cod fishing is the dense,
cold fogs that during the season hang
over the island.

impotent but odiously opposed to those
noble aims. The serious. moderate, and

are most numerous are political sheets
of an ephemeral but mischieviOus exit

slumber.
Again, when manhood had come. he
fell asleep one day and in his dreams the
angel returned. 1t had been years since
he saw her. but her face wore the same
radiant smile. and age passed her by.

BY and by he saw the faces of the

reached his ears. and hands were waved
from afar off. People broke away from
