ARBITRATION IN FRANCE.-Freder-
ick Passy, of Paris, writes as follows in
a letter published in the last number
of the Herald of Peace: yesterday,
the Chamber of Deputies, on my mo-
ton, adopted, without any opposition,
a Treaty of Arbitration with Holland.
And as it had just listened to Report,
in which the principle of Arbitration
was very distinctly expounded, it has
practically given its approval not only
to the act of the Treaty, but also to the
doctrine Of Arbitration. And, fur
ther, this is not a mere isolated circum-
stance, for quite number of encour-
aging indications, in the same direc-
ton, have recently been observable"

Robert Burdette says: ut is the eas-
lest thing in the world to inventa new
religion any fool can do that. 1t is a
thousand times easier to invent q new
religion than to live up to the old
one" There is a deep philosophy In
that little piece of wit. 1t is some
thing easy that men want. They
want education without study, wealth
without toll, comforts without pay,
and pleasures without sacrifices. They
have sought out many inventions.
Short cuts to wealth, culture. great
ness, and glory are in demand.

What Others Say.
Rev. DR.. Lee, in Macon advocate.


Mr.. Chauncey Depew told me, on
the steamship City Of NeW York, as we
came home together, the following:
He said that he had spent Sunday
with Lord Rosebury, at his country
seat, during his vacation in England
last summer. Lord Rosebury had in
vited to dine with him six or seven of
the leading liberals of England. Dur
ing the day the conversation turned
on the subject of oratory. The Eng
lish people are great admirers of orato-
ry. One man in the party asked Mr..
Depew whom he considered the great
est orator America had produced. He
replied that he thought the general
concensus of opinion would put Daniel
Webster down as the greatest orator
America had produced. The speaker,
turning to the rest of the party, said.
"What do we know of Daniel Web
ster" Not a man in the party had
ever heard of him. And Lord Rose
bury is the man whom it is thought
will succeed Mr.. Gladstone in the lead
ership of the liberal party, too, when
the grand old man passes away. -
Henry W. Grady, IN an address IN favor Of
Prohibition, atlanta, Ga, Nou. 2 1887.
They said we were going to be ruin
ed, that bats and owls would fly in and
out, and the real estate men have the
renting of nine out of ten houses that
are rented. They testify without
break, absolutely without break, that
they have fewer houses on their lists
than they have eyer had sincoo they
have been in business. TwT FL them
have advertised in the last Nv days
for 100 houses, and to-day lr. Tally
told me that he actually left I his office
because he was bored by people who
wanted to get somewhere to live In
this town. Mr.. Scott told he that he
could put tenants in 500 houses In thlr-
ty days from tomorrow. They tell US
we have lost in population. SThere are
Just as many houses in Atlanta to-day
and more, and they are all full. Well,
if the population has decreased, who
fills them? Perhaps they are occupied
by shades of Lincoln and Jefferson and
Monroe!

FURIOUS FIGHTING
THE REVOLUTION IN THE AR
GENTlNE REPUBLIC.
One Thousand Killed in the Streets
of Buenos Ayres.
Other Foreign News of Interest and
Importance.

LONDON, July 29.-The fighting in
Buenos Ayres has been attended with con-
siderable loss of life and a full-hedged
revolution is now in progress with pros
poets of much bloody work before the issue
is decided. Senior Roca will probably as
sumo the presidency, as it is believed that
he is the only man capable OF restoring
confidence. The fighting between the gov
eminent troops and the revolutionists has
been desperate. The government forces
were defeated and / 200 of them were
killed or wounded. The navy has joined
the revolutionary movement. The city
during the night was like a city of the
dead, but behind their shutters the citizens
were on the alert, armed with rifles. After
nightfali the Civicas advanced two blocks.
The PROFESSIONALS re-opened heavy artil-
lery fire at dawn on the troops under Vice
President Rellegrini. A terrible mistake
occurred during the fighting. The Eleventh
regiment suddenly turning in favor of the
provisional government, approached the
artillery, and before they could make their
friendly intentions know to the insurgents
they were nown down within narrow
street. The minister of war was wounded
and the minister of finance was taken pris-
oner Col. Marmcndia, Mai. Campos and
many other officers were killed, and the
commander of the Fireman was shot by
his own men.
WASHINGTON, July 29.-Thomas w.
Howard. United States vice-consul at
Montevideo, Uruguay, who has been in
that country for 20 years, said to Post
reporter today that the revolution in Ar
gentne really seemed to be success. 1t
is, said he. an outcome of the reckless
financial condition of the government which
caused its enormous emissions of paper
money to fall so much in value that men
under salary could hardly live. Uruguay,
he said, had some time ago suffered from
the same cause.

LANSING, July 20.-The weather condi-
tons of the past week or more have been
very unfavorable to corn, oats and potatoes
on account of the continued dry weather.
These conditions still continued in the
southern section, and especially in the
southwest, where there has been little or
no rain during the past two weeks. The
effect on the Oat crop has been to prema-
turely ripcn it; and to dry up the corn and
potato crops. In the other sections that
received a sufficient amount of rain to
moisten the ground, the crops are much
improved. The wheat harvest is about
finished and threshing is now in progress.
Yields of from to 43 bushels to the acre
have been reported, which shows the
''spotted growth" of the wheat crop this
year. Oats are being cut this week in
the southern section, and the harvesting
will be general next week. Unless good
rain occurs in the southern section during
this week the condition of corn and pota-
Ties will be materially reduced, and the
yield lessened to a considerable extent.
