It is stated that the purpose of the Portuguese in declaring a state of siege is to coerce the English, who have settled in Manicaland.

The american Woo! Reporter sees the
solution of the deserted farm problem in
New England in the rising of sheep.
"Many OF these deserted farms, it says,
"can be bought from s. to S15 per acre,
and there are clusters Of them where 1000
or more acres can be secured in body.
These farms can be stocked with gra1O
Shropshires aud Southdowns costing at
from IS to 80 per head, but these breeds
of course should not be run in flocks OF
more than thirty to forty head each. We
have recommended Shropshires aud
Southdowns because Of their superior
mutton qualities, and because they are
hardy and early to develop. The Hamp-
shiredown will also please, perhaps
equally as well, ani furnish most tooth
some mutton, The New England mutton
raiser is not only favored with sweet fee ]
among the limestone and granite 10 lge'
and in the green valley of his domain,
but is also additionally favored by a close
proximity to the best markets in the
country, where early lambs neel never
to hunt buyer aud where prices for
prime mutton are always good"

The eastern shore of MarYlani has
been so little disturbed by immigration,
remarks tho Ctie W HrHA, that tao
region numbers comparatively few sur
names, so that at various times it has
been necessary to resort to old bat very
ancient devices to distinguish b,tweel
men bearing the same name. Tie con.
moncst device is the patroaymic bJ
which of two men bearing exsctly the
same Christian and family nan, o1e il
distinguished from the other by tho al
dition "of William" "of Thonls," OF
"of Johu," as the case may be- the mcaa'
ihs of the phrase being "soa OF William,
Thomas or John" Another device once
commonly employed was to couple with
the name an adjective to indicate some
physical peculiarity, as "long' to lnaI'
cate a tall man, "5lack" to indicate a
dark man or "red" to indicate rdddy
nan. Occasionally the Distinguishing
word is uncomplenentary. "D1V'l" Is
uot au unusual prefix to the Christian
Or surname Of man having a reputi-
hon for vice or recklessnc's. A ma
bearing one of the b,'t known names In

The agent of commercial oureau wac
ha, been through nearly fourteen coal'
lies in western KsnsIs, fot th1 purpose
,f obtaining infornatioa on wh'cl to
base a judgment of the business cond'-
lions of thai pirt of the country, reports
that that portion OF Kansas Is enjoying
the most prosperous era in Its history
The banks, he says, are in excellent con
dition; their deposits are increasing ann
thew are not using much Eistern money,
large amounts being received from farm
ers who are payiuy of mortgages and
have money on deposit after doing it.
Tho abundance of the crops this year IS
such, he declares, as to make up Tor tn9
losses sustained by the farmers IN pre-
vious seasons. According to his ob'er-
vation the chief difficulty they have to
contond with is the lac'1 OF thrcshiny-
machines to handle the wheat. Bat the
farmers do not let this trouble them
much as they are dispose to hold the
grain for higher prices, believin J that
by next February they can get Sl a
busbel instead of sixty cents, which Is
the present price. The prosperity 0t the
orappers is having its effect on retail
business.
