The Defeat of Chas. w. Stone.

The defeat of Chas. w. Stone in this
Congressional district is a burning
shame. While Cameron stood by him
nobly and his friends here made per-
sonal sacrifices, we feel the defeat of
this gentleman more keenly than
words can express. The district, state
and nation deeply deplore his defeat.

ATTACKED hx a Gray Eagle.

While Peter Egelston was cutting
railroad ties near Cascade, n. Y, he
found the deserted nest of a gray eagle.
While examining the nest aud its con-
tents he heard loud noise, aud sud
denly the old eagle had struck him in
the face with bill aud claws, aud,
taking a circuit through the air, aliehted
on a tree about 200 yards distant, but
in plain view of the nest.
Again the bird made an attack, aim
ing at Egelstou's head, but he avoided
her, aud she struck him on the arm,
making slight wound. She returned
TO her post of observation, but soon
made third attack when Egelston
struck her with club aud brought her
TO the ground, where, after Il severe
struggle, he succeeded in killing her.
She measured seven feet two inches
across the outstretched wings. New

If the well-known British statistic
ian, Michael g. Mulhall, is correct in
his figures, the German Empire has
progressed more rapidly than any
other European power during the past
twenty years. In the North American
Review the statistician undertakes to
establish the truth of this statement.
Within the period of time under con-
sideration Mr.. Mulhall shows that the
textile manufactures of the empire
have more than doubled in amount.
In 1876 the German cotton mills con-
sumed only 280,00 tons of raw fibre,
whereas at the present time they con-
sumo $4,000 tons. This is not sur
prising in view of the fact that these
mills contain 4,7OO,O 900 spindles. or
considerably more than any other
country of Europe. What is true of
the cotton industry In the matter of
growth is also true of the silk indus
try. In silk manufactures Germany
ranks second only to France, and dur
ing the past twenty years her rate of
progress in this line has been much
more rapid. With respect to the man.
ufacture of sugar, Germany's output
of this product has more than trebled
since 1876. In the manufacture of in
dustrial implements, hardware and
machinery, it appears that the empire
has also made extraordinary progress.
Twonty years ago the aggregate debts
of all the States included within the
present German empire amounted to
$500, 600, 900; to-day the burden which
the empire carries aggregates the
amazing sum of S2, 900, 900, OOO This
increase is due to the fact that the
Government has incurred bonded in.
debtedness in purchasing railway sys.
TENS; but since the investment pays
handsomely, she will be enabled in
time to cancel the entire debt ont of her
railway profits. Altogether, the prog.
ress which the empire has achieved in
various directions during the time
under review has been most remark
able; and in view of the intense rivalry
between the European powers which
exists at this time, it serves to throw
important light upon the situation.

Bell of the Blue aud the Gray.

Chaplain Tuttle's historic bell hangs
in st, Marks Church, Chicago, and is
one of the seven wonders of the city.
Tuttle was chaplain at Camp Douglass,
and through his efforts a chapel was
built seating 600 people. I he bell for
the chapel was cast from the copper
and silver coins contributed by the
garrison and prisoners of war at the
camp in 1864 After the war Chaplain
Tuttle founded st. Marks Church, and
the Government allowed him to hang
the bell of the blue aud gray in the
steeple. New York Mail and Ex-

In spite Of the Rand and the new
mines in Australia, the United States
is still the greatest gold-producer of
all countries, notes the New York
Tribune. 1t is likely to remain so,
too, after the Klondike and other
Yukon regions are exploited and
"worked for all they are WORTH 1t
was fifty years ago this month, by the
way, that gold was discovered in Cali
fornia. Not many discoveries in this
century have more powerfully affected
the current of human affairs than that.

The United States of Australia will
in all likelihood come into existence
before the present century expires.
This prediction is made regardless Of
the fact that Queensland and New
Zealand still hold aloof from entering
the proposed federation. With five of
the Australian colonies wildly in favor
of the idea of federation, the two re-
naming colonies are bound to come
over ere long: But the federation
can be formed without waiting for the
acquiescence of Queensland and New
Zealand. and such is likely to be the
case. From what can be gathered
from recent news dispatches it seems
that the five colonies which are
already anxious to federate intend to
fix upon some definite plan of union
within the next few months, xtending
TO Queensland and New Zealand the
privilege of entering the federation
later. Some idea of the immense
character of the proposed federation
may be derived from the fact that the
Australian colonies which are now
ready to enter the union cover {, 2,300,-
900 square miles and contain 9,074,-
99S inhabitants. Under the proposed
federation the progress of the colonies
will be more decided than at any time
heretofore. If Australia follows in
the wake of Canada, will it not score
another triumph for the American
principle?
