THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
surrender as the only terms on which peace will 
be granted the “hostlles.” Merritt Is preparing 
to advance through a dimcult country towards the 
Reservation at the head of about,, I,500men. During 
the selge Payne lost only two men killed and a 
number wounded, In addition to the loss of Major 
Thornburgh, and those who fell with him at the 
outset. On the Friday belore AtOrtltt'9 arrival to 
relieve Payne, the latter had been Joined by Capt. 
Dodge and his company of 40 colored cavalry. 
Dodge heard of Payne's predicament, twenty-live 
miles away, and gallantly resolved at all hazards 
to make his way to his side. Accordingly, after a 
rapid march, he burst through the circle of sur¬ 
rounding red-skins, though with the loss of every 
horse in the company but three, and shared with 
Payne and his men the dangers or the rest of the 
selge. Much praise Is Justly given to him and his 
men for this chivalrous action, The news of the 
death of agent Meeker Is continued, but the re¬ 
port that he was tortured Is denied. A couple of 
Indians entered his office, grasped him by the 
throat, flung him to the ground aud shot him 
dead. The employes of the Agency lied to a barn 
from which they offered a vigorous resistance, but 
the building was fired by the Indians, and as Its 
occupants rushed out from among the flames, they 
were shot down. The women at the Agency were 
alive at last aoounts, having been saved from out¬ 
rage and massacre by Chief Douglas who also takes 
care of the children, money and papers, and hopes 
to make use of the white people in Ills charge as 
hostages, by whose means he expects to be able to 
obtain better terms finally, for the members of his 
tribe who have committed the recent outrages. 
With regard to the walk for ihe OT,enry belt we 
have had here for the past week, a little fellow, 18 
years old, named Murphy came in first with a score 
of t>os miles, beating all who at the outset were 
considered certain to be ahead. He comes from 
Huvcrst.raw in this State, where he vised to push a 
brick cait from one part of a brlclc-yard to another. 
The practice hu had In moving about In this way 
got him $5,000 for six days’ work last week, besides 
porqulHltles doubtless from those who wou by bet¬ 
ting on him. Well, the walk was a success for Dan 
O’heury and the other fellows whogot, It up. Their 
expenses for paying the walkers, hiring the hall, 
etc,, were about, $‘25,ooo, and they look as gate- 
money, tor hire of stalls, etc., about $110,000,leaving 
them about $25,000, to divide among themselves. 
Walking matches have become mere business spec¬ 
ulations, and the sooner this gambling, row- 
dylsh, disreputable thing is over, the better ror 
public morals. After all, what are the best teats 
or these fellows on a prepared track, with music 
and applause, drinks, trainers aud attendants, In 
comparison with Rankin’s Journey of 160 miles In 
‘24 Lours over a villainous country, with a possible 
enemy at. every bush, with darkness half the time 
around blin and nothing to cheer him on but the 
knowledge that his speed might save Pay tie’s be¬ 
leaguered forces ? 
FOUKIGN. 
The returns of the Prussian election which are 
Just over, put the Liberals lu a decided minority. 
The Liberals and Progressists together elected thus 
fur number 136, while the Conservatives and Ul- 
tramontanes together number SMC. There are 25 
nondescripts outside these divisions. A majority 
made up of conservatives and Ultramontanes may 
not be manageable, but In one way or another 
Bismarck will make It serve his purpose. He 
promises a reduction or direct taxes, the purchase 
of the railroads by the state, and a subsequent 
reduction of fares and freight ehavges.by a reduc¬ 
tion in the expenses of management, ills visit to 
Vienna has been a great success. He was well 
received by everybody, and Is said to have come 
to a thoroughly good understanding with Austria 
as to the course to be pursued in ease of any 
further trouble In the East on the part of Russia. 
The agreement surmised here a couple of weeks 
ago, has been completedIn the event of either 
Germany or Austria going to war with any other 
nation, the forces of both countries will be united 
for the defence of either. This object achieved, 
Bismarck has obtained from the emperor 
leave Of absence tor five months to recuperate, on 
condition that he shall still control any question 
of importance that may arise in the meanwhile. 
Andrassy, too. has retired permanently from the 
Allnlstry of Foreign Affairs In Austria, on account 
or ill-health from overwork. He has been succeeded 
by Baron llemyiie, a friend of his, and secured 
the thanks of the emperor for the valuable services 
he has rendered the State. 
There Is little or no progress risible In the dis¬ 
cussion of the laud question by the politicians in 
England. The Liberals promise to take R up when¬ 
ever they get Into office, but nobody of note Is 
willing to say what they ought to do. ’ihe discus¬ 
sion In the press seems to point to legislation re¬ 
moving some or all of the present legal restrictions 
on absolute ownership—that is, putting an end to 
entails under marriage settlements and wills, and 
perhaps forbidding mortgages; or, in other words, 
obliging a man when he wished to raise money on 
his laud to sell some ofit. This would gradually, 
effect a great change of ownership. Land would 
p fiss rapidly from the possession of needy, indebted 
men Into the possession of men who could pay cash 
lor It. But who would these meu be ? The Con¬ 
servatives maintain they would be rich men own¬ 
ing large estates, because poor men could not 
afford to own property yielding so small an Inter¬ 
est, and the Radicals that they would be peasants 
seeking small holdings. The Conservative view 
assumes, probably falsely, that land would not fall 
heavily In value If It were no longer possible to use 
it as an inalienable basis for family Influence, 
social and polttlcaL If It did tall heavily It would 
pay a very good interest. 
Anti-rent, meetings are still the order of the day 
In Ireland. Yesterday one was held at Cavan, at 
which 80,000 people were present. The Irish laud 
question seems just now to be attracting even 
more attention than the English; mainly, how¬ 
ever, because the Irish are more demonstrative. 
“ Don’t pay a farthing of rent," seems 10 be the 
general advice, ** and they won’t dare to.turn out 
all the farmers In the country, to say nothing of 
bringing starvation upon tbe multitude of laborers 
and their families depending for “praties and 
salt” on the neighboring farmers."

How old is Glass?— The oldest specimen of pure 
glass bearing anything like a date Is a little mold¬ 
ed lion’s head, bearing the name of an Egyptian 
King of the eleventh dynasty. In the Slade collec¬ 
tion at the British Museum. That la to say, at a 
period which may be moderately placed as more 
than 2,000 years B. C., glaSs was not only made, 
but made with a skill which shows that the art 
was nothing new. The Invention of gluzLng poV 
tery with a film or varnish of glass Is so old that, 
among the. fragments which bear inscriptions of 
the early Egyptian monarchy are beads possibly 
of the first dynasty. Of later glass there are 
numerous examples, such as a bead found at 
Thebes, which has the name of Queen lialusoo or 
Hashep, of the eighteenth dynasty. Of the same 
period are vases anti goblets and many fragments. 
It cannot be doubted that the story prepared by 
Pliny, which assigns the credit of the invention to 
the Phoenicians, Is so far true that these adventur¬ 
ous merchants brought specimens to oilier 
countries from Egypt. Dr. SehUemann found disks 
of glass In the excavations at Myceme, though 
Homer does not mention It as a substance known 
to bfin. That the modem art of the glass-blower 
was known long before Is certain from representa¬ 
tions among the pictures on the walls or a tomb at 
Beni Hassan, of the twelfth Egyptian dynasty; 
but a much older picture, which probably repre¬ 
sented the same manufacture, Is among the half- 
obliterated scenes In a chamber of the tomb of Thy 
at Sakkara, and dates from the time of the fifth 
dynasty, a time so remote that It Is not possible,In 
spite of the assiduous researches of many Egyp¬ 
tologers, to give It a date In years.—[Saturday 
Review. 
Majolica.— The name Is derived from the Island 
of Majorca, where the Saracens established manu¬ 
factories of the ware. Afterward the ware was 
imported Into Italy, where It borrowed tbe classic 
forms and myths of ancient Greece and Rome- 
Hence It Is at once domestic and refined in charac¬ 
ter, Oriental aud classic; with the harmony of 
color of Chinese faience, the grace of ormunenta- 
tlon of the Persian and the Grecian classic sim¬ 
plicity aud symmetry of lorm. It was famous tor 
Its lust re, but modern lustres are Inferior lu beauty 
to the old methods, especially the secret one which 
produced the golden lustre—a yellow color over¬ 
laid with mother-of-pearl.
