His object is to commence in advance of foreign powers, so that if trouble between this and European nations grows out e^the matter the United States may be on the de fensive, instead of the offensive, as would be the case if our opponents began first. I may add that a gentleman of New York, who is ad vised of the reported foreign alliance, has a letter from a European source .which says that there is a great probabilitv of foreign war with the United States within the next six months. The Mark Lane Express in its review of the British grain trade for the past two weeks, says: All out door work is again stopped by the frost Threshing occupies the attention of the farmers and home grown wheat is consequently more liberally offered in some districts, notably Yorkshire. Fears are expressed that recently sown wheat has been frosted or from some other cause ^is defi cient in vitality. Many of the early sown fields elsewhere, however, are looking well. Some improvement is noticeable in the condition of home grown wheat offered at country markets but all except the choicest lots have been neg lected. Imports of foreign wheat into Lon don have been moderate, and in the American especially a small business has been done and the week demand was of the ordinary.- con- sumptive character, principally for descrip tions of foreign wheat available as a substitute for English. According to a moderate com pensation it is estimated that the require ments of Great Britain and France will reach 12,000,000 quarters between this and August, exclusive of the quantity afloat. Notwith standing this trade continues discouraging to holders as a consequence of the liberal stocks to select from, and bad demand for our mil lers have shown no desire to do moie than meet the present requirements. It seems scar cely likely any marked rise can be expected before May or June. Under any circum stances it will be necessary for the American ring to lfbld oves' stocks jBome time, longer.

Sudden Death of Horace Thompson of St, Panl, Minnesota, Horace Thompson, President of the First National bank in St. Paul, Minn., left home for New York Jan. 15, accompanied by his wife and adopted daughter, and also by E. F. Drake and John L. Merriam. The party reached New York Jan. 19, and took rooms at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Mr. Thompson and his associates visited New York on busi ness connected with the extension of the St Paul & Sioux City railroadx On the afternoon of Tuesday, Jan. 27, the cashier of the First National bank received a telegram from New Yrk, stating that Mr. Thompson was danger ously ill with pneumonia. The news spread rapidly and produced great anxiety in St. Paul. Other telegrams followed. One dated 10:20 p. m. stated that he was sinking and all hope lostanother announcing his death at 10:30 a. m, Jan. 28. The news of his death pro du ed a profound sensation in St. Paul, Mr. Thompson was born in Poultneo, Vermont in 1827, and was therefore in the 53rd year of his age. When quite young, he and his broth er, James E went to Georgia and opened a dry goods store. There he married a daugh ter^ the late Judge Scarborough. In 1854, the brothers removed to St. Paul, and en gaged in private banking. Afterwards they organized the State Bank of Minnesota, and in 1863, with the State bank asa basis the brothers organized the First National Bank of St. Paul, of which James E. was chosen pres ident and Horace Cashier. On the death of James Horace was chosen Pres- which posi tion he oc cupied at the time of his death. He wasthe largest stockholder in the bauk owning one fifth the entire capital of a.million dollars. Besides las wife and adopted daughter, Louisa Miller, he leaves two sons, Horase aged 26, and Charles about 15. A strong and honor able man has fallen in his prime, and the more his death is contemplated, the moieit will be felt as a public calamity. LATER PARTICULARS. A New York telegram of Jan. 28th re ports as follows: Mr Thompson was down town on business Saturday as well as usual except for an incipient carbuncle on his chin. He returned to the hotel early for dinner, and in the evening wrote seveial letters. At mid night he complained of violent pains in the left side. He remained quietly at the hotel Sunday, suffering more or less pain. Monday morning early Dr. Hamilton was called in, who pronounced it a case of pleurisy. Growing worse rapidly, a con sulting physician was called in, and the case after consultation, was decided acute pneumonia. Notwithstanding prompt reme dies and the most watchful attention, Mr. Thompson grew worse rapidly during Mon day night so that early Tuesday morning the physicians declared themselves doubtful of the result. During the forenoon the patient continued to sink, and at noon all hopes of his recovery having been abandoned, he was informed. Mr. *J%j1fe*i '"l.J&r'-'&e' lr it JJ^.-^VS^ Thompson accepted the dread intelli gence with his characteristic fortitude and calmly set about arranging his affairs for the end. At this time his mind was clear and will unbroken. During the early evening he began to sink rapidly, until midnight when he became unconscious, and at half-past 12 he went peacefully to sleep, surrounded by a large number of sorrowing friends. Among those in attendance was Rev. Mr. Cross, formerly his old pastor at the First Baptist church, St Paul, whp offer ed a touching prayer over his remains.

HYDRO- I Philadelphia Times.] A case of hydrophobia, ending fatally yes terday, is remarkable for the presence of a number of features and the absence of others which, the attendant physicians say, have seldom if ever before eome under their notice. Mrs. Mary R. Lindermier, the victim, was a widow who, Binoe her husband's death, some years ago, carried on the business of the beer saloon, No. 614 North Fourth street, being assisted by her son, a young man. She had one remarkable hobby that all the neighbors talked abouta fondness for raising poodles, of which she had had five in the house for some time. She had also a habit of picking up homeless or in jured little dogs wherever she fonnd them, taking them home and caring for them until they were restored to health and plumpness, when she would seek some neighbor desir ous of adopting a house dog. Between six and eight weeks agoshe oonld not remem ber the date, and all efforts to ascertain it exactly have been unsuccessfulshe was at tracted one evening to the sidewalk by the yelping of two poodles that she had let out to play. She saw a strange little dog trying, as she thonght, to hnrt one of the poodles, and upon her stooping to pick up and carry away her pets the wicked little stranger snapped at her and left the marks of his teeth on the back of ber right hand, jnst above the forefinger. The wound bled slightly, but she regarded it as a mere scratch, requiring no attention more than the application of a lotion that she got at the drugstore just opposite her house. She supposed that the dog belonged to a neigh bor and never thonght that it might have been mad. Whether the dog was mad or not, the doctors and friends have been un able to ascertain, and all efforts to identify the animal have been unsuccessful. THE FATAL SCRATCH. Attending to her duties, as usual, she seemed perfectly well until Tuesday of last week, when, after ironing a lot of clothes, she complained of unusual weariness, and particularly of a sharp, shooting pain in the right arm. Next day she felt as well as ever, but on Thursday the feeling of tiresomeness returned,aooompanied by pains in both arms and something like interoostal neuralgia. Dr. James Collins, of 536 Marshall street,came at her call, and she told him she thonght she had rheumatism. He prescribed some thing that eased her, and, not suspecting hy drophobia, he supposed that she was all right again. Being called on Saturday he observed peculiar conditions. Crossing the street to Mr. Lawson's, the druggist, Dr Collins remarked that it seemed like a case of hydrophobia. The druggist recalled the dog bite and, if Dr. Collins had doubted be fore, he was now convinced. He learned that on the previous evening she had come to Mr. Lawaon for a drink of lem onade and he observed that she swallowed it with seeming aversion and difficulty. When the doctor returned to the house and brought water in sight of the woman she showed alarming symptomsa great dread of something and extreme restlessness and irritability. These continuing, she was taken, by the doctor's advice, to the German Hospital, but there she showed snch sus picion of everybody's motives and became BO uncontrollable in her spasmodic actions that, three hours afterward, she had to be brought home again. Dr. Collins now called upon Dr. Charles W. Milles for assistance, and the two, after talking over the matter with Dr. F. H. Gross, Dr. E. Santee and Dr. Charles Turnbull, decided upon a course of treat ment to which tbey ascribe the subsequent abfence in this case of that violent c. nvulaive action which in other victims of hydropho bia uas necessitated holding by several strong men or tying fast to a bed. FIGHTING TEE DISEASE, The principal remedy used was a sulphate of thejSouth American Indian war-arrow poison, called curar or woorara. Among othter palliative agents employed were campor and opium. The doctors desired to paralyze to a cer tain extent the muscles that produce spasm. The sulphate, called curare or woorara, was administered bypodermically in a filtered solution, each injection containing a small fraotion of a gram of the poison. On Sat urday night when she was qaiet and perfect ly conscious, reference being made to the dog, she said she did not believe that he was mad. Then as sha complained of thirst water was brought and*placed in her hand, whereupon she exclaimed, shudderingly: "Oh, I can't drink." Dropping the glass she con tinued spasmodically: "Oh, my heart would stop. It would kill me." She took a little ice in her mouth, however, which relieved her, but next day she could not look even at the frozen water. Her last drink was on Sunday morning, when with great exertion she swallowed some milk pnnch. The only time when she would touch food, after Fri day, was on Monday afternoon. Her con dition seemed better then and she eagerly ate considerable meat, potatoes and cabbage. After that she steadily grew worse, her men tal distress and her evident suffering from thirst being hard to picture. She wauld not believe that she had hydro phobia, or that the dog was mad. "The dog bite," she said to Dr. Collins, "was nothing, and if you understood the case, I'd get well." She was suspicious of everybody, especially towards the last, when her breathing became very rapid and heavy, and the temperature of her body extremely high, while a frothy, vis cid fluid came from her month in such "quan tities as to necessitate constant changing of clothing, towels and other articles. In one of the spasms on Sunday her terror was increased by imagining that a hair was growing on the tip of her tongue. She cried to those about her to pluck it out. Although suffering in tense agony with the symptoms described, Dr. Collins says that the spasms were con trolled to a great extent by the medical treat ment. Although conscious until about three hours before her death, which came from ex haustion at half-past five o'clock yesterday morning, she would listen to no reasoning, and was extremely whimsical. As late as Monday evening she desired to know whether one doctor was not sufficient. Compared with other deaths from hydrophobia hers was an easy one. THE IRISH FAMINE OF 1847.

Parnell has addressed a letter to the New York Herald in which he sayB: In reference to Lord Randolph Churchill'8 contradiction of my statement that the Queen gave nothing to re lieve the famine in 1847,1 find that I might have gone still farther and said with perfect accuracy that not only did she give nothing bat that she actually intercepted 6,000 pounds of a donation 'which the Saltan of Tur key desired to contribute to the famine fand in 1847. The Saltan had offered a donation of ten thousand pounds, bat the English ambus. sador at Constantinople was directed by the Queen to inform him that her contribution was to be limited to two thousand pounds, and that the Sultan Kball not in {rood taste give any more than her niajroty, hence the net result to he famine and by the Qneen's action was a loss of six thousand pounds.

PRINCE E MONACO. A Famous Dtvorce Catio in nn-TA Duchess of Hamilton Secures a Papal Dissohitton of Her Jtfavriaae. [Rome Cable to the Cincinnati Enquirer.] The question still agitates the laity and the clergy here regarding the fair duchess of Hamilton seeking a Papal divorce from her husband, the Prince de Monaco. It is a big and broad question, brought to the very threshold ot the church in its capital oity. If what was refused the real Tudors in Henrj VIII. can be granted to the questionable line of the Stuarts in the duchess of Hamilton, then indeed will a serious issue grow out of the hitherto hard and fast virtue in vincu lum matrimonii, and the door of divorce may readily be opened by any besieger. It is alleged that the duchess is influenced toward this appeal for divorce on the grounds that she was unduly influenced IAP the matrimomal tie by ber mother, the dowager duchess, and by the said dowager's particular friend, the late Emperor Napoleon. But voila les autre chose! There lived in Vienna, aud still lives there, a handsome Austrian dnke, who has oft visited Paris and the principality of Monaco and for him, like many bounie laddies devoted to Annie "Lowrie, the Duchess would "lay me doon and dee." Hera is the real undue influence. And lo, here too, the dowager's repeated power, for she loveth not the prince, but the duke! Thus speaketh the quidnuncs of gos siping Rome. Bat a reigning prince, if even the loins and quarters of a Grimaldi buccaneer an cestory, intermarried with all the Bourbon blue-bloods of the day, will not tamely sub mit to be thus wooed, won and undone! Al beit his dominion is but a square mile of rocks and olive-trees, of lemon grounds and orange groves, and his standing army like "FalstaffV guard, still it is the wealthiest square mile, the gaudiest guatd, and the greatest principality in the world for rou lette and rouge et noirl Where to much is hazarded in nnds the prince has learned nanght to risk in cardinal cards or Austrian tricks. He will not be unloosened, he says but princes propose and popes dispose. To-day society in Rome is amazed at the reported pontificial action in this famous 'case. It is announced on apparently trust worthy authority that the cardinals decreed the dissolution of the marriage contract, and that the Pope has confirmed the decree. The matter has attracted almost universal atten tion here, and is the general topic cf con-, venation in all social circles.
