No rain ot any great amount has fallen through¬ 
out the Delaware Valley for nearly three months, 
In consequence of which the Lehigh, Delaware, 
Neverslnk, and Lackawaxen Rivers are unusually 
low. Perhaps the heaviest losers by the long 
continued drought are those who have mi l l s 
aud manufactories on the shores of creeks empty¬ 
ing Into the Delaware, between Hancock, N. Y,, 
and Easton. Many flour and saw mills have 
done nothing at all for six weeks; a few mills and 
factories on the larger streams have been able to 
run part of the time. The effects of the drought 
are beginning to be severely felt in the small 
country vlll ages where there are no water com¬ 
panies, the inhabitants relying wholly upon 
cisterns and wells for their water. In many placeB 
these wells and cisterns have given out, and the 
people are obliged to go long distances to get their 
water from the mountain springs. Many wells that 
were never known to give out are thoroughly dry.

In every family that had used It. A large majority 
of cases pronounced Incurable have been entirely 
cured. 
FOREIGN. 
The war between Chill on one side and Peru 
and Bolivia on the other Is still raging with the 
ferocity characteristic of the Spanlsh-American 
race. There was lately some hope that the mat¬ 
ter would be settled by the arbitration of the 
United States, and Minister Clirtstlaney went 
from Lima, the capital of Peru, to Santiago, the 
capital of Chill, to urge that mode of settlement, 
but, according to the latest reports, he has returned 
without having accomplished his object. The 
Chilians have been devastating all the seaboard 
towns and country in the north of Peru, after hav¬ 
ing done the same In the south, and now they are 
threatening to destroy Lima and the rich sur¬ 
rounding country. TUey are rapidly collecting 
30,000 picked troops for the purpose, and expect 
to capture the city In a few weeks. Peru seems 
resolved to flght to the last gasp rather than sur¬ 
render any of her territory. The niter beds about 
which she began the war, are all now In the hands 
of her enemy, who Is deriving a good Income from 
the sale or the product. Bolivia has withdrawn 
most of her forces and Is taking little part. In t he 
present phase of the struggle; all parties are be¬ 
coming utterly exhausted, and the contest Is fast 
coming to the same Issue as the battle of the Kil¬ 
kenny cats. Europe would have intervened al¬ 
ready were It not that intervention Is left to this 
country, through respect for the Monroe Doctrine. 
The European outlook Is somewhat less b-lllger- 
ent than at this time last week. Just as the de¬ 
tachment ot the combined fleet was about to move 
against Turkey, the Sultan agreed to surrender 
Dulclgno with the surrounding territory, and thus 
averted Immediate hostilities. The wretched Uttle 
place lias a miserable harbor, about 3,000 bigoted 
Mussulman inhabitants, and Isn’t worth half tho 
money spent m securing It. Most likely the Ma- 
hommedans will quit It sooner than submit to 
Christian rule with Its attendant cruelty when 
practiced by the fierce Montenegrins. The Turks 
and the latter are to hold a convention to-morrow 
to decide when the place will be given up. Already 
Greece says that unless the territory promised her 
is ceded within a specified time, she will occupy 
it. That would mean war with Turkey which 
wouldn't “ leave a grease spot” of Greece, unless 
other Powers intervened, and then the war would 
spread—the Lord knows how widely. The “ East¬ 
ern Question" will take a long time to settle. 
Agitation, etc., continue In Ireland. Arrange¬ 
ments are being made by the Government to 
prosecute the principal leaders of the Land League 
and to throw a large Increase of troops Into the 
Island. Parnell Is defiant, and urges organization 
throughout every parish In the country. In 
France the decrees against the religious orders 
are being vigorously enforced, and a large number 
of magistrates have resigned rather than have 
any hand m the measure. The present House of 
Representatives will be dissolved next year, as Its 
term then expires, and the Republicans are pres¬ 
sing antl-cleilcal action In order that the agita¬ 
tion attending It may by that time have subsided. 
Spain Is agitating In a mild way for the restora¬ 
tion to her of Gibraltar—might as well ask for the 
moon. The completion of the great cathedral at 
Cologne has been celebrated with vast rejoicings, 
the Emperor William and his court attending, to¬ 
gether with most of t~e German princes, prlnc- 
lings, princesses and prominent men.

ed.The result of the distribution of Jute 
seed by the State Commissioners of Louisiana, last 
June, can now be estimated. The reports from all 
sections of that state where the seed was planted 
are very favorable. The plant grows to a hight of 
15 feet on alluvial soil and of 10 to 12 feet In the 
pine flats and hills. Ills very free from the attacks 
of insects so Injurious to other Southern crops,
