The kilograms received on Friday
announce that "the Russian Grand
Duke Alexander has arrived at Agra"
This is the first time a Russian Prince
or, indeed, any great Russian, has
openly visited India and il will be
curious to note the attitude taken by
great Indians towards him. There
has always been a theory in England
that Russia would be welcome in
India, but we believe it to be wholly
opposed to the facts. Indian opinion
about Russia filters down through
Mussulmans, and is a compound of
dislike and dread.

The Panama scare in Paris is not
over yet. The lottery loan was re-
opened on Monday, and the most
desperate efforts we're made to ensure
success, NJ. de Lesseps ever weeping
for joy before his subscribers, because
four hundred thousand of the bonds
had been subscribed. They had
not been subscribed, of course, be-
cause the issue price Of each bond
was "a above the price at which they
could be purchased in the market a;
but a hundred and twenty five thou
sand bonds were taken. These were
probably subscribed by banks inter
ested in the Canal, their managers
remembering that II the four hundred
thousand were not sold, they would
all be cancelled. M. [ harleS de Les

reliance could now be placed only
upon the State, 1t is rumoured that
the Government will to-day place a
Bill upon the table allowing a new
Company to issue debenIures for
$50, 0O0, 600, with a preferential claim
to 5 per cent. from the income OF the
Canal when completed. The Bill
will also suspend the payment of all
interest till the completion OF the
work, the coupons remaining due,
but uncut, for that period. That
strokes us as very poor finance, for
ii makes the State responsible, yetdoes
not guarantee completion, and does not
prevent the discomfort which an indie
finite suspension of interest will cause
among the shareholders, who are
Intensely numerous and very poor.
They were promised interest during
the progress of fhe works. Any
thing, however, will be done rather
than that a financial crash should
come before the general Election.

granted this request, and for the

Pretty Grave Charge.

John H. Randall a young lawy er of
Davenport, was arrested Saturday after
noon by Sheriff Leonard on charge of
extorting money by means of threatenings
OF a prosecution under the Iowa prohib-
tory liquor law This was done, it is
stated, by threatening Moore 81 Hood,
proprietors of prominent saloon, with a
criminal prosecution under the statute,
with offering to withdraw the suit upon
the receipt of a certain sum of money,
and with accepting such a sum and with
holding the action. Randall gave bail.
The Scott county bar Is taking very &C,

with a view to disbarment if the charges
are sustained.

WHY can't every property owner
commence this spring and plant shade
trees along the front of their homes;
there is nothing that SO adds to the
ornamentation of town as shade trees
and flowers. We have wandered through
many an old eastern town whose streets
were lined with trees and whose yards
were covered with flowers and evergreens,
and ever after entering such town
have left it with lingering emotions of
unalloyed happiness. A collection of
houses thrown promiscuously in bunch
on the open prairie without trees, grass
or flowers has nothing in it inviting to a
stranger. A log cabin surrounded by a
beautiful green lawn, interspersed here
and there with trees, flowers and running
vines, is far more beautiful than fine
two-story house with everything around
it perfectly naked and ugly.-Farming-

A Sure Remedy for SMALL Pox.

Edward Hine, a Travertree cores
pondent of the Liverpool Mercury, sends
the following to that paper: mo disease
is so repulsive as smallpox, and none SO
generally dreaded. l am willing to risk
my reputation as public man if the
worst case of smallpox cannot be etfectiv-
" cured in three days simply by cream
of tartar. This is the sure and never
failing remedy. One ounce of cream OF
tartar dissolved in pint of boiling
water, to be drank when cold at short
intervals. 1t can be taken at any time,
and is a preventive as well as curative.
It is known to have cured in hundred
thousand cases, without failure. l
have myself restored hundreds by this
means. 1t never leaves mark, never
causes blindness, and always prevents
tedious lingerings. 1t is SO efectual,
that, if properly used, would dispense
with vaccination and the costly staff of
vaccinators, for smallpox never appears
without need, and then ought to be
purifying and healthful to the system,
and when capable of being SO quickly
removed need never be feared above a
cold or an overflow of bile"
