pointed in 1871, which settled the claims
of citizens of both countries after the in.
surrectlon of that time.
1t Is thought at Washington that a
radical change is likely to occur in the
attitude of the pension bureau toward
claimants who had a confederate war
service. At present such service is a bar
to pension, but Commissioner Evans
believes it should not prejudice a mans
claim If he afterward enlisted in the
Union army.
Roquefort, one of the most famous of
cheeses, is threatened with speedy ex-
tinction. Authorizations and artificial
rlpening are the causes which threaten
to ruin a business worth millions of
dollars every year, and employing 10000
people. y strong effort will be made by
the French authorities to revive the old
methods of production.
The mosquito pest is pretty bad all
over the country this summer, but the
worst, or best, story of all comes from
Delaware. While minister was Offering
prayer at colored camp meeting in that
state one evening last week a cloud of
mosquitoes attacked him and, filling his
capacious mouth and throat, nearly
checked him to death. The service had
to be suspended then and there with the
prayer unfinished.
y new line of passenger steamers is
about to be established between London
and New York, in opposition to the
Atlantic Transpol tation company and
the National line. The new steamers
will be five in number, named, Victoria,
Alexandria, Cleopatra, Cassandra and
Boadicea, and will begin service in the
latter part of September. They will
carry no steerage, but will bid for the
control of the first cabin passenger trade.

to row across the Niagara river to the
Canadian shore. In the heavy current
their boat became unmanageable and
upset. The men We re seen nv a mimi pr
of people on shore struggling in the

little probability of the bodies being re-
covered for some weeks.
