LONDON, August 3O.-Dr. Chauncey M.
Depew, with Mrs. Depew and three infant
nephews, arrived in London from Hamburg
last night. He looked unusually fit, as our
English cousins say, and presented fine
picture of domestic felicity and content
ment as he sat among his little ones at
Almonds Hotel But DR.. Depew was not
eloquent on the subject of the strike.
Il had dispatch last night" he said,
informing me that the trouble was over, but
am too far away and know too little about
the matter to express an opinion. notice
that at The Union Square meeting was
severely censured for not being at my post
during the fight But" be added with a
twinkle Of the eve, they should not have
struck while was away"
HIS FIRST INITIATION.
DR.. Depew got his first news of the strike
at Innsbruck, where be arrived on Monday,
August IL, Oh his way from Oberammergau
10 IJaly.
''When started from Paris to Oberam-
Dergau," he said, "leaving my family to
fud their way to Hamburg, 1 left two ad-
dresses, because l intended to travel so rap
idly that letters and dispatches would not
overtake me, particularly as it takes u
honrs to send telegram on the Continen t
and IL hours more to get an answer. The
news was furnished me at Innsbruck by a
New York newspaper reporter, and failed to
hear much about it aIterward, as even in
Hamburg, where got the London news
papers, the details of the strike were very
meager."
DR.. Depew was very much impressed by
the Passion Play" and considers it the
grandest spectacle ever presented.
81 never quite realized" he said, 'iust
what the position of Poatius PLATE was un-
til I saw the picture at Oberammergau.
The costumes in every detail we're faithful
representations of those of the time OF Christ,
and the actor who played the part of Plate
represented in every detail Of his perform
anee all the dignity and majesty of high
Roman soldier. At O'Clock the next
morning Pontius PLATE put my trunk on a
wagon, and took the mark gave just like
any other Bavsriau peasant"

degrees north and soulh OF the equator.
extending from the Atlantic coast 10
near the shores OF the Albert Nyanza,
and perhaps even further 70 the east,
are scrattered communities of these
small negroes, all much resembling
each other in size, appearance and hab>
its, and dwelling mostly apart from
their larger neighboTs, by whom they
are every where surrounded. Our infor.
nation about them is still very scauty,
and to obtain more would be a worthy
object of ambition for the scientific
traveller. In many parts, especially at
the West, they are obviously holding
their own with fiiculy, il not actually
disappearing. and there Is much about
their condition of civilization and the
situations in which they are found to
induce as 10 look upon them, like the
Bushweu Of South Africa and the equal

halayan region, as the remains OF a
population which occupied the land be-

Facts for Farmers.

The Lancaster ELarriner ssys: '.Ths
transportation question is one OF ever
pressing Importance to the farmers ev-
erywhere the cost or getting their pro
ducts TO msIke. is a matter OF deep con.
ceTn. II IS great mistake, however,
10 begin and end with the items OF rail
way freights. There are other rems
which enter into the caIcuI alton, and
not the least important Is tho expense OF
getting grain and other products from
the farm to the railway station.
IAN exchange report. that very
careful estimates have been made by
pro.essed experts. who have reached
the conclusion that the average cost OF
hauling loo bushels OF grain one miI-
over country roads is 60 cents. That is
TO say, 1t costs the farmer 20 cert.a ton
per mile 20 haul his gram from the
farm to the point of shipment. The
average cost Of hauling 100 bushels of
wheat one mile by rail is one-thiId cent:
so that, with very liberal allowance for
errors OF calculation as 10 the COS. of
teamiug, 1t costs as much to carry g
crop OF wheat from the farm to the rail
way station az it does TO carry 1t to
market by rail. Here is a most potent
argument in favor OF better country
roads. Millions nigh be saved snnnaI-
y to the farmers of the United States
IL they could only be induced to improve
the highways which connect their
farms with the shipping points by river,
rail and canal. Bad roads cost them a
great deal more than they have any
conception OF.

The Cedars Of Lebanon.

The cedsrs OF Mount Lebanon are,
perhaps, the best known monuments in
the world. Distinguished men have
sited them, and their story is told
over and over again. There are grave
doubts, however, whether the cedar so
often mentioned in the Bible was the
tree now called the Cedar OF Lebanon.
There Is no doubt that the cedsrs OF
Lebanon in more modern times have
been the objects of veneration. The
most experienced observer who has seen

Joseph Hooker, who visited Syria in

the specific rank and the origin of the
