THE HOMESTEAD ANNIVERSARY

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 6.-Homestead
slept very little last night. The fact that
today is the anniversary of the battle with
the Pinkertons, coupled with rumors
that an attempt would be made TO burn
the mills, that another demonstration was
to be made, and that the regiments in
Plttsbuig were under arms, caused much
excitement. and all night The streets were
thronged. But these were idle stories, and
where turmoil and blOodshed reigued "A
year ago all was peaceful and quiet today.
There was a picnic at the Ninth street
grove and a few speeches this evening,
while flowers were scattered upon the
graves of those who fell in the battle
These simple ceremonies were all that

HARD TIMES IN AtIeTRkI,n

SAN FRANCISCO, July G.-The news
brought FROM Australia by the steamer
Mariposa is of "a discouraging tenor. The
closed banks are trying to resume and
business is at standstill Strikes are
imminent and tens Of thousands of people
are out of work. A number of coal miues
have shut down, and the wages of sailors
are being reduced, and the omnibus drivers
have struck because OF IA reduction in
wages. The unemployed swarm along the
docks, seeking q chance to stow away on
any vessel bouGd for the United States.
The ocean steamship companies sheds on
the quayS have been turned into places for
the destitute TO sleep in. The Mariposa's
second cabin and steerage were full.
Nearly all Of those who came I'D were
meD and women who were once we'll to do,
but who had lost nearly all III the general
crash. They hope to make a new start in
California. The governments of Victoria,
New South Wales and Queensland are do
ing all in their power to relieve the situa-
tion, with some degree of success. One
measure adopted by the government of
New South Wales is the establishment Of a
state bank

blessed and endowed as he is, the duke
lacks one thing. He has not the most
elementary sense OF humor, and that is
perhaps the only characteristic which
he has succeeded in bequeathing TO
the marquis of Lorne. AS an aristo-
crat the duke of Argyll despises states
men and men of science, such IS Mr..
Darwin and Mr. Gladstone As man
of science and letters he despises the
illiterate aristocracy. His seif-adora-
tion is undisturbed by the shadow of
doubt In his own absolute infallibility.
He has lately told the world that he
always hated the wings, although he
condescended to accept Office from
Lord PalIherston. His political idol is
the younger Pitt Pitt entered public
life as whig. and never disclaimed the
title of party whose principles he
claimed to represent better than Fox.
But the duke of Argyll thinks little
more favorably OF the free traders than
of the wings. He regards himself as
almost the only consistent free trader
who ever lived, while Golden and
Bright and Charles Villiers were only
plausible impostors. Ricardo knew no
more about political economy than
Darwin knew about natural history,
and Mr.. Gladstone's conceptions of pol
itics are fundamentally erroneous.

QUEEN MARGHERiTA.
No Longer Young, But a Handsome Wom-
an Nevertheless.

Here is the latest portrait of Queen
Margherita, of Italy, one which is a
little more faithful to its original as
she IS to-day than the other portraits
published within the past month of her
silver wedding. 1t may be as well to
acknowledge that the good queen is no
longer a young beauty; but she remains
handsome woman, with an express
sion of intelligence and kindliness
which more than makes up for the loss
of youthful bloom.
No sovereign in Europe is more be-
loved by her subjects. When she drives
along the Corso, her carriage drawn by
richly caparisoned horses and accom-
panied by picturesque outriders. the

Gated to the crowd; you will find cor
