THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
the persons of these who were guilty of murder 
and other crimes during the outbreak. The interi¬ 
or Department, therefore, lias taken charge of the 
affair, and consequently all of Gen. Merltt’s com¬ 
mand have been ordered to their stations, leaving 
only a small number of troopB at the White Klver 
Agency to guard the supplies collected there and 
on which they can subsist during the winter In 
the event they are snowed In and orders recalling 
them cannot reach them. The only explanation 
given by the Secretary or the Interior is that the 
Department lias the fullest contldence in the plan 
now being followed, and that It would Lie folly to 
expose the army to unnecessary risks, with winter 
weather already threatening their march toward 
Rawlins. What the special Instructions of Agent 
Adams are cannot be ascertained, but they are 
said to be wholly of a conciliatory nature. 
The walking craze seems on the wane in thl3 
city and. Indeed, elsewhere also. Here the public 
has been surfeited with the thing. After the con¬ 
test for the Aatley belt came another for the 
O’Leary belt, and yet another last week In the 
same place for prizes ranging from $l,6ou tor the 
first to $200 for the sixth. The men had to walk 
only 14 hours a day, resting from 12 o’clock at 
night until 10 In the morning, and all who had not 
made 50 miles a day when retiring, were excluded 
from further competition. Forty entered and only 
seven continued the struggle until the cud of the 
week. The attendance was never over 2,000 at 
any time, and often the large garden was appar¬ 
ently deserted by all but a few deadhead loafers. 
It can scarcely have paid the managers. That 
Mrs. Anderson, too, Is trudging an Innumerable 
number of quarter miles In as many quarter hours 
In another hall here, but there are few who care 
to see her. The same want of public patronage 
meets a half a dozen other similar exhibitions In 
various parts of the city. 
Yellow fever still continues to plague Memphis, 
chiefly among returned refugees. Yesterday there 
were two new cases and one death. The cold 
wave now moving South will probably kill the 
Yellow Jack, or rather, cause him to hibernate 
until next autumn or late summer. So Ohio has 
gone Republican by about 33,01)0. This Issue Is 
supposed to be the death-blow of the greenback 
doctrine, known also as the “Ohio Idee," and also 
of the presidential hopes oi Allen Thurman, who 
will not be re-elected to the Senate, as both 
branches of the State Legislature are Republican. 
FOREIGN. 
Englishmen seem to have taken up the “ per¬ 
sonal journalism" or this country, long after It 
ims fallen Into discredit here, just as they are 
taking up the caucus after the best Americans 
have grown sick of It, and are anxious to find 
means of escape from It. The two leading ven¬ 
tures in this Held have been very successful and 
have had a good deal of excellent writing, but 
their main attraction has been the gossip of so¬ 
ciety and plquaut details of the private life of 
well-known persons. Another leading feature 
has been savage attacks on the conductors of ob¬ 
noxious newspapers, In the syle of the late James 
Gordon Bennett. One unhappy man, Buch¬ 
anan the poet, appeared on the scene some years 
ago In the character of the Indignant Moralist, 
and tried to atop their excesses by a series of 
prosy articles on the “ Signs of the Times” In the 
Contemporary Review. He had only issued one 
when he, disappeared under a retort from the 
World which covered him with mud as no mao 
was probably ever covered before. Bluee then the 
fun has grown fust and furious, Truth, under the 
editorship of Mr. Labouehere, leading the way 
Into fresh fields every day. Having fallen foul 
savagely of one Lawson, the proprietor of the 
Dally Telegraph, there followed the old-fashioned 
American street-tight—Lawson with a cane, Labou- 
chere with an umbrella—in wldoh Labouehere 
apparently got the worst of it, aud Is now threats 
enlng Uls opponent’s lire In default of ** satisfac¬ 
tion." He Is known to ills brother-editors of the 
same school as ** Labby” and “Henry," One of 
the fratornlLy, the editor of the Town Talk, Is In 
Newgate awaiting his trial for a criminal libel in 
announcing proceeding lor divorce by the hus¬ 
band of one of the reigning beauties, Mrs. Lang¬ 
try. The whole business Is a much more dis¬ 
gusting mess than anything of the kind we have 
had here, owing to the popular eagerness to know 
what the aristocracy are doing—a passion of 
which we have here no counterpart. Both Mrs. 
Langtry and Mrs. Cornwallis West, the two best 
known “ beauties" of London, have brought ac¬ 
tions for libel against this Jewish editor, lie 
charged that the Uusbaud of the former had ap¬ 
plied for a divorce from her and Implicated the 
Prince of Wales aud other notabilities. Mr. Lang¬ 
try appeared lu court and swore that he never 
Band any charge to make against his wife. He 
had also foully belled Mrs. Lewis on several oc¬ 
casions. in court he abjectly apologized, for Ids 
lies hut was sent to await trial to Newgate, In 
default of $ 10,000 ball. 
Fifty-eight Servian deputlves being opposed to 
the government's bill tor the emancipation of the 
Jews, it is thought It will not obtain the tw o-tlilrds 
majority trcqulslte to Its passage. Count De St 
Valller, the French ambassador at BerUn, has been 
specially requested to tender heartfelt thanks to 
Prince Bismarck for the kind aud friendly way In 
which he spoke of Fiuuce during his lab; visit to 
Vienna. The city of chlchuahua. Mexico, has 
been captured by revolutionists under Macherro. 
General Trlvlno, with federal forces, Is eu route 
for the scene. The Kusslau commute of the vol¬ 
unteer fleet has ordered a fifth orul9er constructed 
at MarseUles at a cost of fuoo.ooo. The duchess 
. of Edinburgh was delivered of a still-born child, 
Monday. She Is progressing favorably. 
The Afghans made ft feeble defence, as usual, on 
the hights outside Cabool, and at the last accounts 
General Roberts was In possession of the city. The 
inhabitants, as In 1342, have tried to reUeve them¬ 
selves from compUelty with the mutineers, and the 
Indian Government seems to be thoroughly puz¬ 
zled by Yakub Khan’s position. They apparently 
cannot make up their minds whether he sympa¬ 
thized with the revolt or not. He Is so weak In 
every way that he probably cannot tell himself. 
Herat Is still in the hands of Its rebels, and there 
Is talk of a proposal on the part of Russia that she 
should take that provluce, and England the rest, 
but this Is hardly likely to be entertained In Lon¬ 
don. Herat Is the most Important stronghold In 
Central Asia. What will be done with Cabool 
remains to be seen. Sending another envoy there 
to be guarded by an army would hardly look well 
at the elections, and It would probably be difficult 
now to find one wno would go without an army. 
By this morning's cablegrams It appears that Ya¬ 
kub Khan Insists on resigning; the English are 
hiking measures for assuming the government of 
the country, and have definitely lnlormed Russia 
that English Influence must be paramount in 
Afghanistan. General U1U has been appointed 
military Governor of Cabool. The magazine 
of Bala-Ulssar has been blown up, killing 2T 
English and a great many natives. Desultory 
fighting la going on In various parts of the 
country—exclusively of a guerrilla character.— 
The Irish land agitators have got past argument 
and entered on coercion. The English papers are 
full of accounts of threatened landlords, and of 
tenants who have waited In a body on their land¬ 
lords to ask for lower rents. On the estate of Lord 
Nonnanton, an absentee landlord, sou tenants, 
headed by their pariah priest, demanded lower 
terms of the agent and promptly' rejected his offer 
of a small reduction. The Marquis of Headfort 
and his agent have been served with a like de¬ 
mand, backed by a thinly-veiled threat ot death 
If the reduction was not granted, a “ lady of 
rank” writes to the I/melon Times that her agent 
cannot collect the rents which make up her mar¬ 
riage joiuture, because any farmer paying rent Is 
threatened with a shot from the hedge. These 
are isolated Instances which show a general state 
of affairs which perhaps renders the occupation of 
the country by troops only a question of time. 
In England tho Irish laud agitation Is the most 
serious subject that at present engages the public 
attention. The commotion In the Green isle Is 
waxing fiercer dally, aud English statesmen and 
the English public are becoming apprehensive of 
lt 3 ultimate issue. At home the farmers are still 
either preparing to emigrate In large numbers, or 
doing so. Miners, too, are about to leave the 
country eu masse almost, and It la expected that 
this country will soon be overstocked with this 
class of labor. Manufacturers are trying to regain 
their hold on foreign markets by reducing the 
prices of their wares. This they can do only by 
lowering the wages of their hands, and tne at¬ 
tempt to do this la restated by strikes In a large 
number of places. Times are so liard, however, 
that the masters generally triumph; but on the 
arrival of better days, the men are bound to renew 
the struggle by again “striking." In a public 
speech the other day, the Marquis of Salisbury, 
Secretary for Foreign Affairs, electrified the public 
by a speech In which he strongly denounced Rus¬ 
sia’s policy of constant aggression by which she 
seeks universal dominion. He said that If Ger¬ 
many and Austria had really concluded a defen¬ 
sive alliance, the news should be hailed with Joy 
by ail civilized nations unwilling to be terrorized 
by the seuil-barbaric Slav; and that Austria hence¬ 
forth, from her position in Uosnea. would be the 
sentinel at the door of Constantinople, who would 
render It Impossible In future for Russians to cross 
the Balkans, 
The treaty here referred to, lately concluded by 
Bismarck during his trip to Vienna, has been rati¬ 
fied during the week by the Emperors William and 
Francis Joseph. Although the tone of the Russian 
press towards Germany has become somewhat 
milder, there Is now no doubt that war be¬ 
tween Russia aud Germany la merely a question of 
a few years, to be deferred probably until alter the 
death 01 the German Emperor nosv over 80, or of 
the Czar, already broken down lu health. Mean¬ 
while, Russia’s aggressive career in central Asia 
has received a temporary check by the defeat or 
the expedition against the Turcomans. The Mus¬ 
covites have retreated, but only, ot course, to ad¬ 
vance again with greater strength. In France the 
main topic of Interest Is the struggle between the 
Republic and the Church, hinging Just now mainly 
on the educational question ; the clericals Insisting 
on religious Instruction and their own eoutrol of 
the matter, and the Republicans maintaining that 
education should be solely secular In the public 
schools. 
In Spain the chief talk until the last few days, 
was about the approaching marriage of the King. 
Owing to the uncertainty of the Spanish Munarchy 
of late, the bride’s dowery of 20 , 000,000 francs, or 
about $ 4 , 000,000 has been deposited In Vienna, so 
that she may not have to starve, should her hus¬ 
band bo driven from the kingdom by rebellion or 
sent to the grave by Ihe assassin's dagger or bullet, 
un Wednesday, however, a great disaster lu the 
provinces of Almena, Malaga and Alicante, has 
glveu the people something else to talk about. A 
groat Inundation has caused Immense leas of Ute 
and properly lu these southern provinces. Accord¬ 
ing to this morning’s cablegrams, In the Malaga and 
Alicante districts, 2.000 houses have been destroyed 
aud It Is believed 500 persons perished by the 
floods. The damage to property Is estimated at 
30 , 000 , 000 L A later telegram from Murcia states 
that gto bodies have already been found. It la be¬ 
lieved that over 1,000 people have perished.

Hops.-Kiumct Wells in his circular says: "Re¬ 
ceipts and export* rortbe week are nearly equal. 
The predictions in our lust issue of an advance, have 
been more than realized. Considerable excitement 
prevails in the hop-growing dlstrlei*. enured by sev¬ 
eral of our leading shippers paying 40c. for large 
choice lots. Those price* appeared high several 
weeks ago; but from late foreign advices received 
here, there can be Utile doubt that tall flgnres will 
be maintained. The reason we do uot quote above 
country prices, is because partieswho have fine ship¬ 
ping hops do not offer them.
