THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
likely than strikes to be useful In lessening the 
evils of bad trade. The Emperor of Germany 
lately visited Alsace, which he wrested from the 
French in 1870. a Strasbourg dispatch says, upon 
tlie entry of the Emperor William many of the 
shops were closed. Only the official bulldlDgs 
were profusely decorated. The French newspa¬ 
pers have become much more outspoken concern¬ 
ing Alsace and Lorraine, UlC Inhabitants of which 
provinces have become also much more estranged 
from the Germans than they were two years ago, 
when the Emperor William visited Strasbourg and 
met a comparatively cordial reception. 
In England there appears to be a growing dis¬ 
content against the lieaconsfleld government. 
The recent outbreak in Cabool has served to In¬ 
crease this greatly; and tho capture of Ceta- 
wayo, In South Africa, has done little to dimin¬ 
ish It. There is a strong impression that the 
peace Is In danger of being broken cre long. Ger¬ 
many and Russia are by no means trlendly. 
Although the two emperors are amicable enough, 
Bismarck and Gomchakoff are directly hostile, 
and the belief is -widespread that the outbreak 
of hostilities between the two countries is only a 
question of (.line, and that of a short time, too. 
Austria and Germany, according to the latest ru¬ 
mors, are about to guarantee the integrity of 
each others’ territories, l lils will be bad news 
to Russia which objects to Austria's occupation 
of Bosnia, and bad news to Italy which hopes 
by hook or by crook to gain possession of Trieste 
and the adjacent, territory. In Spain the chief or 
only matter of interest seems to be the approach¬ 
ing marriage of young King Alfonso. 
The European beet sugar crop Is estimated at 
1 , 010,000 tons this year, against 1 , 600,000 last year. 
In the Kleff districts of Russia, which are gener¬ 
ally' fertile, the price of wheat and rye per 30 
pounds’ weight, which was 80 and 60 copecks 
respectively In isos, la now 125 and 75 copecks : a 
copeck Is worth about three-quarters of a cent. 
A Cape Town dispatch says: sir Garnet Wolse- 
ley hopes that Chief Secocoenl will yield with¬ 
out lighting. This is doubtful, as only lately the 
Kaffir chief was with difficulty dissuaded from 
murdering two English officers sent, to him with 
a flag of truce to treat concerning an exchange of 
prisoners. Retails of the capture of cetewayo 
show that, while the Icing was being watched on 
one side by Lord Gitford and ills scouts. Major 
Marter, with a detachment of dragoons, approach¬ 
ed him from the other. Lord Gifford, whose 
presence was unknown to the king, intended to de¬ 
fer the attack until night-fall to prevent his es¬ 
cape into a dense bush. Cetewayo had caught a 
glimpse of the dragoons, but thought that In con¬ 
sequence or the ground they could not approach 
quietly. Major Marter directed the removal of all 
noisy accoutrements and sent the native contin¬ 
gent ahead. These surrounded tho kraal where 
the king had taken refuge and Marter then rode 
up and called Cetewayo to come out. The king, 
after some parley, compiled. He preserved a dig-' 
nifled demeanor and asked to be shot Immediately. 
Sara Bernhardt has written a letter formally 
denying the current report that she has signed a 
contract with Jarrett of London for her appearance 
In the United .states. The news from Afghanistan 
grows worse every day. It was at tirst believed 
or hoped In India that the attack on the embassy 
ut Cabool was a sudden outburst of l'ury on the 
part or mutinous soldiers and the mob, and that 
Yakoob Khan was deeply grieved by it and tried 
to prevent It. But this theory had to be given up 
before the news that there were signs of a general 
rising among the tribes, and that Yakoob Khan 
had apparently no authority over anybody. Later 
accounts point to hts complicity with the massa¬ 
cre, or at all events his subsequent ucqulesenee in 
It, and It is now reported that Cabool Is covered 
by a considerable Afghan army. Though this Is 
said to be sensation, General Roberts, who com¬ 
mands the British avenging force, evidently can¬ 
not advance wit h the army now at Ills disposal 
and will have to wait for reinforcements, which 
come tardily, and for means of transportation, 
which are deficient owing to the enormous destruc¬ 
tion of camels by the lute expedition. The snow 
falls 1ft the passes early In December, and after 
that communication becomes difficult or impossi¬ 
ble, so that It may he said that ho must i>e in 
Cabool and Uavu made hlinselt comfortable in 
winter quarters by the tirst of December at the 
farthest. lie can probably do this, but it. Is an 
arduous enterprise, and its success will not solve 
the problem. For after having taken Cubool the 
question presents Itself: Can the Indian Govern¬ 
ment afford to conquer and occupy Afghanistan; 
and If not, who Is to rule it In a manner satisfac¬ 
tory to England: Yakoob Khan, as an Instrument 
of British policy, has broken to pieces. 
Holland Is, In some sense, the dairy farm of Eu¬ 
rope. Some statistics recently collected show that 
Us uheeso export In !* 7 s was 00,3(55,000 pounds, 
holt or It going to England, which received from 
this country, in the years ending In 1878 amt 1879, 
l u,G54,ooo and 123,783,730 pounds respectively. In 
the case or butter tho conditions were reversed, 
Holland exporting 49,984,200 pounds to England, 
and this country 38,248,010 pounds last year, and 
v.1,837,117 the year before. In round numbers, this 
country and Holland export to England about 
3,000.000 centals of cheese and butter, or about 
half her foreign supply, and one-fourth her total 
consumption of these articles. Uf the butter sent 
out Horn Holland, more than half Is artlllclul, but 
the returns from this country give no hint of tho 
oleomargerlne exported here. The slaves on the 
Cuban plantations havo demanded their liberty', 
and their masters have promised It It they will en¬ 
gage to work three years tor wages. Many slaves 
are running away, and the local authorities have 
tusked Captain-General Blanco what they shall do. 
The Spanish Government will propose lo the Cor¬ 
tes that all the. slaves be given their liberty July I, 
1880, on condition of seven years’ obligatory labor 
with wages paid. King Mtesa, ruling near the 
Victoria Nyanza, In Africa, lias nboUshed slavery. 
At least half a million of slaves are to be liberated 
this week.
