Envoys from Madagascar are in Washing¬ 
ton; their mission is to “cement relations of 
friendship and amffy between the United 
States and Madagascar.”.The Pitts¬ 
burg ironmasters are tmanimous in their dec¬ 
larations that under the new tariff a reduction 
of wages of all classes of workmen will be 
necessary. Trouble ahead if tho attempt is 
made.The Secretary of the Interior 
has formally leased for 10 years, from March 
3, 1883, to Carroll T. Hobart of Fargo, Da¬ 
kota, Henry T. Douglass, Fort Yates, Dakota, 
and Rufus Hatch, New York, a number of 
small tracts of laud in the Yellowstone Na¬ 
tional Park, aggregating 10 acres, and it is pro¬ 
vided that the several parcels shall not 1 ** within 
a quarter of a mile of any of the geysers or

springs to cost 8150,000, and to contain not 
less than 250 rooms: and six smaller hotels at 
different points of interest. The annual 
rental agreed upon is §2 per acre. At the ex¬ 
piration of the ten years the land is to be sur¬ 
rendered to the Government, and if the lease 
is not renewed the buildings are to be valued 
and turned over to the Government on pay¬ 
ment of the valuation. Stringent rules are

sure.The Illinois House has passed a 
bill to punish wife-beaters by whipping. 
The Western Union Telegraph Company Wed¬ 
nesday, declared a quarterly dividend of 1% 
per cent., payable April 16. The net profits

during 1880, 756,839 persons died in the United 
States, making the death rate 15.1 to the 
1,000. The death rate for the whole of Eng¬ 
land was 20.5 per 1,000 in 1880, «anrl for Scot¬ 
land, 21.3 in 1878..-..Of the new postal 
notes 459 out of every thousand orders are for 
85 or less. The limit of single money-orders 
is raised from §50 to §1(10, the following scale 
being adopted; Not. exceeding §10. eight 
cents; §10 to §15, 10 cents; §15to$80,15cents;

duction on sums under §10 from present 
money-order rates is one-fifth. Sums not ex¬ 
ceeding $5 will 1>e but three cents, or a re¬ 
duction of about two-thirds the present rates. 
The postal note will be issued payable to 
bearer simply, there being no expressive letter 
of advice attending it, and it will be good 
for three months, after which time the bearer 
if he neglects to get his money, must send to 
Washington. The object of this is to prevent 
it being used for general circulation.The 
month of January showed the largest value of 
exports from this country ever reported for

charges.”.Emmert O'Neil, a Schenec¬ 
tady (N. Y.) broker, who recently failed, has

esburg people out of §250,000. Nearly every 
person in the town of Duanesburg who had 
money is a victim, and in Schenectady there 
are scores of them.Hood & Scott’s 
lodging-house at the Brownville wood-camp, 
the terminus of the Black Hills and Fort

last year averaged two a day, the executions

Nervous Prostration and Insomnia. 
In nervous prostratiou and sleeplessness,from 
which so many invalids suffer, Compound 
Oxygen rarely fails to bring relief. A lady 
(a teacher) in Avoca, Wisconsin, who bad been 
a great sufferer, sought help in Compound Oxy 
gen. At the end of five weeks wrote: “ The 
night after taking my first, inhalation of Oxy¬ 
gen , I slept like a babe! I could hare cried for 
joy the next morning, J felt that the restful 
sleep of that one night was worth the price 
paid for the Treatment. 'IHs now a com fort 
to lie down at night , for I do not have to look 
forward to long, weary hours of nerve-jerking 
(which to me is harder to bear than pain). No 
more mid-night alcohol and water-baths; 
neither rubbings, countings, nor walking the 
floor in agony; but rest, sweet rest instead.

The Ohio State Fair Board has agreed to 
inauguarate live stock sales at the ensuing 
Ohio State fair to lie held at Columbus, Sep¬ 
tember 3 to 7. It was agreed to make the reg¬ 
istration fee 25 cents for each animal offered. 
The same system will doubtless be used by 
Toledo and Michigan fairs. Hon. H. W. 
Lord of Detroit, has been appointed Register 
of the U. S. Land Office at Devil’s Lake, Da¬ 
kota. At present there is not a house or a hu¬ 
man being in the place, but it is said to be a 
beautiful country, with great possibilities ... 
....The new Cuban tobacco crop, according 
to the latest estimates of growers and dealers, 
offers the following propects; In Vnelta Abajo 
on the whole the crop will be short, as drought 
did much damage. In the Partides districts 
the result is much more favora ble, and in the 
neighborhood of Remedios less rainy weather 
would have been desirable .No reports 
of damage to growing wheat have been re¬ 
ceived at the Agricultural Department. Fu¬ 
ture disasters alone can injure the crop, it is 
believed at Washington ....Mr. Moffat> 
the statistical agent of the Department of Ag¬ 
riculture in London reports that continued 
rains and floods have caused great injury to 
the wheat crop, and there are apprehensions 
of the worn failure for years. The area is re¬ 
duced, and much resowing will be necessary. 
There is also much alarm at the spread of the 
foot-and-mouth disease among cattle. Local 
fairs throughout Great Britain have been 
closed, and orders have been issued to 
prevent the movemeut of farm animals 
from Scotland to Ireland until the 31st of 
March .There is considerable doubt 
among dairymen as to the suitability of ensi¬ 
lage for butter cows. Two large milk-con¬ 
densing companies have forbidden its use 
among those who have contracts to supply 
them with milk. They claim that the prod¬ 
uct does not keep. If a New Haven 
opinion is worth anything Prof. William H. 
Brewer of Yale College stands a very fair 
chance of being the next president of the Mass.

.Those ostriches shipped some months ago 
from this city to California, which were to go 
immediately on an ostrich farm somewhere in 
Southern California, are still “eating their 
heads off” at Woodward’s Gardens, Sau Fran¬ 
cisco. About two weeks ago one of them de¬ 
rided the question whether ostriches will breed 
in this country by beginning to lay eggs; and 
we are told that at last a company with §30,- 
000 capital, called the California Ostrich 
Fanning Company, has been formed and a 
tract of 640 acres secured in Los Angeles Co. t 
where the birds will be kept under the direc¬

March 1 last 4,223.000 hogs were packed in the

weight of the hogs was 218 pounds each, 
against 231 pounds in 1881 2, and 234 pounds 
in 1880-1..... 
FOREIGN NEWS. 
Saturday, March 17, 1880. 
A glance at Europe detects the productive 
classes everywhere discontented and fiercely 
rebellious against the unequal distribution of 
the wealth produced by laltor. Everywhere, 
too, there is a strong disposition among the 
most “advancedspirits” to engage in secret 
societies and to use the terrible newly invented 
explosives for the intimidation or destruction 
of the ruling classes. In Ireland discontent is 
rampant, and agrarian outrages against, land¬ 
lords, their agents and subservient tenants are 
still frequent, emphasized by an occasional 
murder. In Dublin some 25 men are in jail 
awaiting trial for the murder of Lord Caven¬ 
dish, Secretary for Ireland, and Mr. Burke, 
a Castle official, some months age. Detectives 
have ever since been hunting for the crimin¬ 
als and large rewards have been offered for 
their betrayal, but until the other day all was 
in vain. Some of them were arrested a fort¬ 
night ago, and at once one of them named 
Carey, to save his owe neck turned “ traitor,” 
aud others at ouce followed his example, so 
that it is probable a dozen wretches or so will 
“ swing” for that atrocious murder. The gov¬ 
ernment is straining every nerve to connect 
all the prominent Irish agitators with the 
crime; and high rewards for treachery or per¬ 
jury may bring about the conviction of some 
of them... 
The Land League agitation for the abolition 
or diminution of rent still continues. Feniau- 
ism, with its faith in violent measures, is re¬ 
cruiting strongly; its “Invincibles” ready for 
anything, are ready to use dynamite in every 
■way to further the separation of Ireland from 
England. Last Monday Parnell introduced 
into Parliament a bill still further - favor ing 
tenant farms. Gladstone opposed it, and it 
was rejected by an overwhelming majority on 
Tuesday. On Thursday night one of the gov¬ 
ernment offices in Westminster, close to the 
Parliament House, was shattered by a terrible 
explosion. Parliament, sitting at the time, 
was alarmed at the sound of the explosion, 
which could lie hoard three miles off, and 
London was thrown into consternation. Fe- 
nianism charged with the outrage; $5,000 re¬ 
ward offered for discovery of author - of ex¬ 
plosion. Charges that it was due to the 
“Skirmishing Fund” of O'Donovan Rossa, the 
Irish blatherskite of this city. English work¬ 
men exasperated by the press against Irish 
workmen. Intense excitement everywhere. 
Miuy arrests of anarchists in France. Some 
of the die-in-the-last-ditch leaders in hiding or 
flight; 60,000 workmen idle in Paris; Govern¬ 
ment pondering how to provide work for them 
and so allay sedition. Church and State to Lie 
disconnected, ashore; 12,000,000 francs a year 
of subvention to be thus saved. The Orleans 
Princes “retired” from the army. The Re¬ 
public by no means assured, though the Prince 
Napoleon excitement is petering out.In 
Spain arrests of members of the Black Hand 
secret society continue—over 260 already 
jailed; permeates all the provinces. 
In Germany socialists plotting darkly, but 
kept down by the strong hand of the Man of 
Blood and Iron, who is negotiating for 10,000,- 
000 acres of land in Mexico for a German set¬ 
tlement where home influences will he more 
powerful than among Germans here. 
Preparations for the coronation of the Czar 
progressing amid much fear of Nihilist plots 
Foreign sovereigns and princelings to be rep¬

Nihilist dynamite. A league of European 
rulers projected for the suppression of Fenians, 
Anarchists, Black Handers, Carbonari, Social¬ 
ists. Nihilists and members of other secret 
societies which threaten the peace of Europe 
and the lives of its potentates. ....

Prince GortschakofT, for so many years 
Russia's great foreign minister and diplomat, 
died at Baden Baden on the 11th. Commou- 
doros, ox-prime minister of Greece, and one 
of the foremost statesman of that country, 
died at Athens, March 11.J. B. Green, the 
well known author of a “ History of the Eng¬

Resolutions have been introduced into the Eng¬ 
lish Parliament claiming from us the unex¬ 
pended balance of the $15,(Ml,000 Geneva 
award for damages done by the Alalumin. 
Before the Court in charge of the matter at 
Washington, however, 2,200 cases out of -1.700 
filed aggregate nearly § 14 , 000,000 without in¬ 
terest, If judgments were awarded for the 
amounts claimed in these cu-ses the interest 
would probably run the aggregate up to more 
than $20,000,000. It will thus he seen that 
the court will have no difficulty in disposing 
of the undistributed remainder of the Geneva 
award—about $9,500,000 , ..On the 8th the
