TOPEKA, Kas-. June 29.-Gov. Lewell-
ing is in receipt of large number OF
letters from western Kansas request
ing him to call an extra session of the
legislature to afford relief to the
drought-stricken farmers He say that
unless he is convinced that the majori-
~ of the people are in favor of a
special session he will decline to make
the call. He thinks it will be cheaper
for the people to raise the money by
subscription than to pay taxes to de-
fray the expenses of an extra session OF
the legislature.

The Demonstration of Silver by the Gov

MANCHEsrER, June 29.-In Manches-
ter, where a very extensive business in
textile fabrics is done with India, con-
hicting opinions are held in regard to
the probable effect of the cessation Of
free coinage of silver in India. Some
merchants and manufacturers think
that the action of the Indian
government will benefit bust
ness when the changed con-
while others fear that the increasing
divergence of value between the rupee
and silver will ultimately break down
the official basis on which it is sought
to give a gold value. Manufacturers
and spinners who have given little at
teution to the currency question are
disposed to reckon on higher rates of
exchange, being synonymous with
higher prices for their goods, and are
inclined to raise their quotations &C
cordingly. kilograms however, advise
of a decline in the price of shirtings in
Calcutta, and warn of the danger
of the cancellation of orders on a rapid
advance in exchange rates. The fall
in the price of silver is regarded with
misgiving, as it may expedite legisla-
ton in Washington, from which place
the most severe strain on India's exper-
iment is likely to come. The market
is very firm, and buyers are not dis
posed to operate. A trifiing advance is
paid for shirtings at Bombay.

Opinion of New York Paper.


New YORK, June ga morning pa
Per editoriaily discusses the Indian sill
yer situation in doubie-leaded type,
saying in part: "As to the diminution
of the exports of wheat from India to
Great Britain in consequence of thus
arresting the diminution of the
value of the rupee, which so
many predict, there is no ground
for expecting it Wheat is ex-
ported from India to London not be-
cause of its low price in India, but be-
cause London is the best market for it;
and it will continue to be exported
thither so long as it brings there more
than the cost of transportation. The
idea that the price in London will adj
vance, and the American wheat-grower
thus be benefited, is equally chimerical.
India has never supplied Great Britain
with more than one-tenth of the
wheat she consumed. For the first Ave
months of this year it has been able to
send thither only 9s9,342 hundred
weight, against 4,T47.576 hundred
weight for the first five months of 1872.
India's Importance as a competitor in
this respect with this country has been
ridiculously ovestinnated and is likely
to become less rather than greater"

Pocket Life Saving Apparatus.

In 1874 Lieutenant Brunei of Dieppe
introduced his pocket life saving lines, of
which already upward of 3,340 are being
used in France, where they now rescue
annually some 2S5 lives. Nevertheless
these admirable inventions are almost
unknown in our empire. Brunels small
pocket line consists of a wooden float,
round which some 80 feet of stout cord
is wound. The other end of the cord
terminates in an efficient grapnel armed
with four small hooks. The whole ap-
paratus complete weighs only five
ounces and is the most convenient of all
life saving lines. Hence 1 urge its adop-
ton everywhere, especially for officials
and others engaged about our coasts and
inland waters. These appliances could
be proftably retailed for about Is. Cd.
each, and any one can make them.-Lon-
don Vanity Fair.

A Magnetic Detecter.

A clever continuance has been invent
ed for the detection of small pieces of
magnetizable metal, such as needles,
tacks. steel and iron chips, ETC., that may
have entered the human body unawares
and hidden themselves in the skin or
deeper tissues. The instrument was de-
vised by DR.. j. 3. Williams and consists
essentially of a partially astatic combi-
nation of small magnetic needles sus-
nended within glass tube, the tube be-
ing covered with tinfol to minimize
electric action, except for small space
through which the needle can be OBJ
served. 1t is claimed that the lnstru-
ment is sufficiently delicate to detect the
presence of one-eighth of an inch ct steel
or iron wire at a distance OF six inches
from itself.-New York Telegram.

Friendship Between a Horse and a Dog.

\ plumber at Narragansett had q horse
81 years old, which was used for carry
ing around his masters material when
that was necessary, but spent most of its
time in a small pasture. A fox terrier.
also belonging to the plumber, was an in
separable companion of the old horse
When the old horse was harnessed to the
cart the dog was on guard to see that
nothing was stolen from the cart. In
the pasture the dog was always shifting
around the horse and was never so de-
lighted as when the horse would begin to
roll in the grass, which it often did, APP
parently to please the dog, which would
jump about i'll every direction and bark
for pure JOY
At night when the horse was put in the
barn the dog always entered with its
friend and slept on the animals body.
One day the neighbors heard the most
dismal howls coming from the pasture
and found that the old horse had died.
There was the terrier on the dead body,
bowling out its sorrow and misery. The
dog remained with the body until it was
removed for burial.-New York Tribune.

TAG Eastern Shore Potato Kitchen.
At the meeting held OF Accomac G..
II. on April court day, the committee
reported the approval of the Virgin
ia State Board OF Managers of the
the Worlds Fair authorities, and the
location for the kitchen alongside
of the Virginia State building in the
Exposition grounds. As no State
funds are available, the expense of
the kitchen will have to be met by
those interested, and the building
must be done by June LIST, as no
building will be allowed. The N. Y.
P. and N. r. r. authorities assure
the active cooperation of the r. R.
Co.
Messrs. Williams & Bro, commits
soin merchants, of Norfolk, and well
known on the Eastern Shore, will
open branch house in Chicago, for
the sale of Virginia produce, and will
render all possible assistance.
A mass meeting is called at Parks
ley, on Saturday, May 9th, at / o'cl'k
p. M. to perfect plans and secure
funds for carrying on the work.
The building must be provided for
ut once, and the Board can do
nothing without the cash in hand.
All who are Interested must act
promptly, or the best opportunity
evereollered to advance the interests
of the Eastern Shore will be lost.
The cost of the kitchen is insignili-
can't, compared with the benefits to
be gained. Let all come ready to
act. This is the last appeal that can
be made. Nov or never
