however, but not to be enforced, Just, aa In Eng¬ 
land the laws against the Roman Catholic hier¬ 
archy, passed in i860, are still In existence, hut 
have never beea put into operation. By the way 
Falk, the author of these laws anti one of the 
ministry failed to secure au election lately as did 
Bismarck’s son, Count Herbert, and even the 
great Von Moltke. 
The elections in Germany have been held, and

The Liverpool Chamber of commerce presented 
an address on Wednesday to General Fairchild 
on the occasion of his putting the American Con¬ 
sulate, Mr. W. 15. Forwood, president of the 
Chamber, prefaced the address with a few com¬ 
plimentary remarks. General Fairchild returned 
thanks. Mile. Albanl, prltna donna, and Mr. Er¬ 
nest Gye were married in Warwick Street Chapel, 
London, on the Oth. The American Free Masons 
visiting England were entertained at a banquet 
on Wednesday night by the Grand Lodge at Free 
Masons' Hall, London. The English army supple¬ 
mentary estimate for additional expenditures In 
consequence of the war between Turkey and Rus¬ 
sia has been Issued. It amounts to £1,645,500. 
The French government at the request of the 
United States, has formally Invited the foreign 
powers to the International monetary congress 
which began In Purls on Saturday. The Mark 
Lane Express reports that English wheat-cutting 
has commenced a week earlier this season than 
last year, thanks to the weather. In spite or com¬ 
plaints or blight and defective ears, advices In 
the main are satisfactory, and, unless there 
should be an unexpected deficiency, the crop 
will be a fair average one. 
France has bestowed the cross of the legion of 
honor on the German Prince nohenlohe and 
Count von Bulow as a recognition of their kind¬ 
ness to France at the Berlin congress, it is also 
rumored that Marshal MacMahon declined at¬ 
tending the English concerts at the Trooadero, 
saying “ No, that coqnln, Disraeli, has cheated 
me.” The first, political mass-meeting over held 
In Cuba took place at Havana, Saturday week. 
It was held by the liberal party, with the object 
of arranging a political programmo for the No¬ 
vember elections, when deputies to the Spanish 
Cortes will be chosen. Ricardo Galbls, govern¬ 
ment secretary, presided. Two programmes were 
submitted, and the meeting adjourned until the 
10th, when a vote would be taken on them. The 
greatest order prevailed. Kossuth has published 
a sensational letter, bitterly attacking the occu¬ 
pation of Bosnia, and accusing the Austrian gov¬ 
ernment of sacrificing the Interests of Hungary. 
Garibaldi, too, Is out with a proclamation that 
slaves have always a right to rebel, and urging 
the inhabitants ot Trieste to take up arms and 
take to the mountains.

Turkeys are natives of America, and were con¬ 
sequently unknown to the ancients. They were 
first brought to England about 1523, and to France 
about 1670. 
Prince Bismarck signed the treaty of Berlin 
with an eagle's quill, ornamented with a sliver 
figure of an Angel of Peace, which was pre¬ 
sented to him for the purpose. 
An Influx of Mennonltes la anticipated between 
this and 1S80, In which year tnelr exemption 
from military service will end In Russia, where 
they number 200 , 000 . 
lu 1876, wolves in the Russian province of Sa¬ 
mara, devoured 5,8SU horses and horned cattle, 
60,000 small cattle, 22,000 domestic fowls, and 
more than 1,000 dogs. In 1877 their ravages were 
even greater, and the loss In the two years Is es¬ 
timated at 1000 , 000 . 
Two years ago Wisconsin offered a prize of 
$ 10,000 for a motor that would prove In all re¬ 
spects a desirable subsume for draught cattle on 
roads aud tor ordinary agricultural work. Three 
commissioners have Just reported against a 
steam motor that answered all the requirements 
except that It wa3 more expensive to run than a 
pair ot horses. 
Kearney’s expenses on his oratorical tour in the 
East are not paid by him. Ho Is not a bloated 
capitalist, though the owner of several trucks. 
Shortly before hla departure from San Francisco 
a concert was given for hla benefit that was, In 
point ot attendance and peculiarity, one of the 
most successful ever witnessed In that city. The 
amount netted was sufficient to pay all the cost 
ot a three months’ trip to the East, aud will leave 
something over. 
When Patti sings In Berlin lu the tall, It will 
not be in the ltoyal Opera House. The Emperor 
declined to permit her to appear there, solely on 
account ot tue enormous price—$ 2,000 per night— 
demanded by her for the services of herself and 
Nloollnl. That would make It necessary to fix 
the cost of a seat lu tue parquet at $5 or more 
—a thing the Emperor would nor, hear ot In tnese 
hard times. Nevertheless, Benin must have 
Paul, and she is to sing on another stage at her 
own price. 
The Island ot Cyprus at one time contained 
nine different kingdoms, and more tnan a million 
Inhabitants, owing to the alleged peculiar tem¬ 
perament ot Ha people, It was called " the home 
of love aud beauty. ’ 
Everybody who has been at Brussels has visited 
Its beautiful Botanical gardens. They are prin¬ 
cipally the result of the labors of M. du Mosher, 
who died last month, lie was a minister ot State 
as well aa the first botanist in Belgium. 
The loss of the German Ironclad Grosser Kur-
