THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
tlon there with regard to the repeal of this amend¬ 
ment. Eighteen of the 27 States that constitute 
the Republic are said to be disposed to the repeal 
of tills prohibitory amendment, and as the assent 
of only a majority of the States is required to a 
constitutional amendment. Instead of two-thirds 
as with us. the question may be regarded as set¬ 
tled that Ilia/ wiLl be made president again at the 
election which takes place eleven months hence. 
The Lerdlst parly look upon Ills re-election In the 
light of a dictatorship for life. Well, any form of 
government there would be a godsend, which 
would put an end to the chroulo slate of revolution 
that for the past couple of generations has drench¬ 
ed the country with blood, and rendered impossi¬ 
ble the development of its vast mineral and agri¬ 
cultural resources. 
Mr. Longman, the last of the original partners 
m a lira of eminent London publishers, is dead. 
The earthenware and china manufacturers of 
Staffordshire, England, have resolved on the re¬ 
duction of wages of over 50,000 workmen. The re¬ 
duction Is part ly attributed to American protective 
duties. The employers desire to return to the 
wages paid In i«7i. it la expected that rhe men 
will submit. The colliery proprietors at the Burn¬ 
ley coal fields gave notice Saturday of a reduction 
In the price of coal and a reduction ot five per 
cent, in wages. Another party of tanners, num¬ 
bering about twenty, left Liverpool for America, 
Saturday. Prince Dondoukoff Korsakoff has 
started for Odessa, Russia, to assume the Governor 
GeneraIsldp there, relieving General 'i'odleben, 
who wUl probably be appointed Governor of War¬ 
saw. 
Liberia seems to have about collapsed. The 
negro republic Is bankrupt and In the power of 
British capitalists; the Liberians themselves are 
dissatisfied with the condition of affairs; and the 
most powerful tribes or natives throughout the 
country are talking secession and calling on the 
firllUli for protection. Without money, credit, 
or an organized army, there Is lit tie chance that 
the republic can uphold its authority, and the 
African State which the United States has Indi¬ 
rectly backed for so long Is in a fair way to fall 
Into the hands of Beaeonstleld. The Russian 
grain belts south aud southeast ot Moscow are be¬ 
ginning to feel the effects of the steady exportation 
of grain to England ror two generations; the land 
is wearing out, aud the farmers are moving to the 
thinly settled provinces on the eastern steppes 
at a. rate which gives the Russian goverment 
much uneasiness. The government tax on the 
grain dist ricts remains the same In spite of the 
diminishing yield, and the departure of the peas- 
auts follows Inevitably, due in no small measure 
to the fact that under the pressure of a constant 
demand for grain from western Europe the old 
system of fallow lands has been abandoned and 
the fields plowed year in and year out. The same 
result has happened In California. With the sea¬ 
board close at hand It did not “ pay” to feed grain 
to cattle, it was all exported and fields which 
began by yielding 20 and 20 bushels to the acre 
now return half that aud are never likely to give 
more white the same course Is continued In cul¬ 
tivating the new grain fields farther inland. 
Mr. Clare Sewell, member of the British Parlia¬ 
ment for South Norfolk, and Mr. Albert Pell, mem¬ 
ber for South Leicestershire, arrived In this city 
yesterday. The steamer City of Montreal, in 
which they came, reached Quarantine cu Satur¬ 
day evening, too late to Uninspected by the Health 
Officer, and lay at anchor there all night. Messrs. 
Read and Pell area sub-committee of the Parlia¬ 
mentary commission to inquire Into thu causes of 
the present distress In the agricultural districts of 
Great Britain, aud are particularly sent to ascer¬ 
tain what hand America lias In the matter, so far 
as the American product and export trade may 
threw light on the subject. They will give espe¬ 
cial attention to the exportation of meat and live 
stock to England, and make an effort, to fix approx¬ 
imately Its extent during the next five or sLx years. 
Mr. Read Is a tenant, fanner on a large scale In 
Norfolk, where for aoo years his ancestors before 
him have followed the same pursuit, lie is a prac¬ 
tical and theoretical farmer, President of the 
Norrolk chamber of Agriculture, member of the 
Council of the Central Chamber of Agriculture 
and of the Farmers’ Club. He has written several 
essays ou farming. In polities he Is a Progressive 
Conservative. In person he Is tall and well formed, 
with closely-cut gray hair, a long full gray beard 
and moustache, and pleasant brown eyes. He 
looks more like an American than an Englishman. 
Ills colleague Is also a farmer, and a Conservative. 
He was educated at Rugby and Cambridge. In 
Leicestershire he is a farmer, and was the first 
chairman of the Central Chamber of agriculture. 
He looks the typical Englishman, being rosy-faced, 
blue-eyed, with white hair aud white side whiskere. 
The great Importance which ostrich farming has 
acquired hi southern Africa may be seen from an 
ostrich auction recently held at Mlddleburg, Cape 
Colony. The lowest pilce paid for one pah of these 
birds was .ciso, and several pairs fetched £ 235 . a 
rew years ago ostriches were obtained by hunting 
only, aud at that time a good bird could be bought 
for a meuagerte or a zoological garden at a moder¬ 
ate price. But since their domestication and the 
development of ostrich fanning as an Industry, 
their price has risen enormously. At present the 
Zoological Garden hi London owns not one living 
ostrich. From the Capa of Good Hope 2,297 pounds 
of ostrich feathers were exported In i860, at a 
value of £19,261; but in 1ST3 the exportation had 
risen to 31,581 pounds, at a value of £159,679, and 
recently a bunch of picked bloods were sold at 
Port Elizabeth for £67 lss. a pound, that Is about 
*8 a feather. 
After the conclusion of peace with Vakoob 
Khaua few mouths ago, most of the English rorce 3 
were withdrawn from Afghanistan and Major 
cavagnari, with a suite of about 10 souls, was sent 
to Cabool, the capital of the country, os British 
Agent to look after the interests of the Indian 
Empire and the United Kingdom. News has Just 
reached here that last week he and Ills attendants 
had been massaored by mutinous Afghan soldiers 
aided by the populace of Cabool. Three regiments 
began the attack on the agent’s residence, where 
they met a vigorous resistance; nine other regi¬ 
ments then joined the insurgents. The buildings 
having been fired, the handful of English, 79 in 
number, reduced to extremity, sallied out from 
their cover and fell fighting, all except nine, who 
are reported to have escaped. Yakoob Khan ap¬ 
peals to the British for assistance, and says_ that 
ho Is himself besieged. Ills son Is said to be among 
the slain. The English forces from all the neigh¬ 
boring quarters are being rapidly pushed towards 
the capital, which must soon be once more In 
their hands.
